SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

meeting is being held under the 

authority of the PROGRESS Act (Pub. L. 

116–180), the Negotiated Rulemaking 

Act (5 U.S.C. 561 et seq.), and the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 

U.S.C. ch. 10). The Committee is to 

negotiate and reach consensus on 

recommendations for a proposed rule 

that will replace the existing regulations 

at 25 CFR part 1000. The Committee 

will be charged with developing 

proposed regulations for the Secretary’s 

implementation of the PROGRESS Act’s 

provisions regarding the Department of 

the Interior’s (DOI) Self-Governance 

Program. 

The PROGRESS Act amends 

subchapter I of the Indian SelfDetermination and Education 

Assistance Act (ISDEAA), 25 U.S.C. 

5301 et seq., which addresses Indian 

Self-Determination, and subchapter IV 

of the ISDEAA, which addresses DOI’s 

Tribal Self-Governance Program. The 

PROGRESS Act also authorizes the 

Secretary to adapt negotiated 

rulemaking procedures to the unique 

context of self-governance and the 

government-to-government relationship 

between the United States and Indian 

Tribes. The Federal Register (87 FR 

30256) notice published on May 18, 

2022, discussed the issues to be 

negotiated and the members of the 

Committee.

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of 

shared group identity between the 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes, 

peoples, or cultures and one or more 

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: anthropological, 

archaeological, biological, geographical, 

historical, linguistic, and oral 

traditional. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, UC Davis has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of 39 individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The 1,822 objects described in this 

notice are reasonably believed to have 

been placed with or near individual 

human remains at the time of death or 

later as part of the death rite or 

ceremony. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains and 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice and the Buena Vista 

Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of 

California; California Valley Miwok 

Tribe, California; Chicken Ranch 

Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of 

California; Ione Band of Miwok Indians 

of California; Jackson Band of Miwuk 

Indians; Shingle Springs Band of Miwok 

Indians, Shingle Springs Rancheria 

(Verona Tract), California; United 

Auburn Indian Community of the

human remains and associated funerary 

objects in this notice must be sent to the

may be submitted by: 

1. Any one or more of the Indian 

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations

by a preponderance of the evidence, that

Repatriation of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects in this 

notice to a requestor may occur on or

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. UC Davis is 

responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Indian Tribes identified in 

this notice.
