SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

authority of the Migratory Bird Treaty 

Act (16 U.S.C. 703–712), the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service regulates the 

hunting of migratory game birds. We 

update the migratory game bird hunting 

regulations, located at 50 CFR part 20, 

annually. Through these regulations, we 

establish the frameworks, or outside 

limits, for season lengths, bag limits, 

and areas for migratory game bird 

hunting. To help us in this process, we 

have administratively divided the 

nation into four Flyways (Atlantic, 

Mississippi, Central, and Pacific), each 

of which has a Flyway Council. 

Representatives from the Service, the 

Service’s Migratory Bird Regulations 

Committee, and Flyway Council 

Consultants will meet on February 8, 

2007, at 8:30 a.m. to identify 

preliminary issues concerning the 2007–

08 migratory bird hunting regulations 

for discussion and review by the Flyway 

Councils at their March meetings. 

In accordance with Departmental 

policy regarding meetings of the Service 

Regulations Committee attended by any 

person outside the Department, these 

meetings are open to public observation.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Notice of Availability of Draft Report of 

Findings Under the Native American 

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act 

on a Feathered Headdress in the 

Possession of the Department of the 

Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Washington, DC 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given in 

accordance with provisions of the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) of the 

availability of the Report of Findings on 

a feathered headdress in the possession 

of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

(Service) and in the control of the 

Department of the Interior (DOI). This 

notice is given so that the Service may 

continue to fulfill its obligations under 

NAGPRA by distributing its findings for 

review by all interested parties. Copies 

of this report have already been 

provided to the requesting Tribes. 

DATES: We must receive comments by 

February 20, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Please submit written 

comments to the Assistant Director, 

National Wildlife Refuge System, 1849 

C Street, NW., Washington, DC 20240, 

attention: Eugene Marino or by FAX 

(703) 358–2517. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Eugene Marino, Service Archaeologist, 

(703) 358–2173. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The object 

in question is a feathered headdress that 

was forfeited to the United States 

Government in November 2001 as part 

of a guilty plea agreement resulting from 

an attempt to sell it in violation of 

Sections 703 and 707(a) of the Migratory 

Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703–711). 

After consulting with various parties, 

the United States District Court for the 

Eastern District of Pennsylvania ruled 

that the forfeited object would be turned 

over to the Department of the Interior 

for care and disposition under the 

Native Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3001, et seq., and as codified in 43 CFR 

10.8. The headdress is ornamented with 

golden eagle feathers and is now under 

the control of the DOI and in the 

possession of the Service. 

An initial assessment of the object 

indicates that it was likely 

manufactured during the first decade of 

the 20th Century. Documentation 

submitted to the Court during the trial 

alleges that the headdress was 

manufactured for use in ‘‘The Last PowWow,’’ a gathering of tribal chiefs, 

which occurred in 1907 in Collinsville, 

Indian Territory, which is now the State 

of Oklahoma. The Comanche Chief 

Quannah Parker purportedly offered the 

headdress to the Apache Chief 

Geronimo for use during the event. 

Other documentation submitted for the 

Court’s consideration alleges that Chief
