Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19

CFR § 207.2(f)).

2Commissioner Newquist not participating.

Service, Anchorage, AK.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by U.S. Forest

Service and National Museum of

Denmark professional staff in

consultation with representatives of the

Chugach Heritage Foundation.

In 1933, human remains representing

24 individuals were recovered from

caves and village sites in the Chugach

National Forest, Prince William Sound,

AK, during legally authorized

excavations by the University of

Pennsylvania and the Danish National

Museum, and sent back to the National

Museum of Denmark the same year. No

known individuals were identified. No

associated funerary objects are present.

Historical documents, excavation

records, and archeological evidence

indicate these caves and village sites are

precontact Chugach occupation and

traditional burial areas based on the

manner of internment and associated

funerary objects. Oral traditions

presented by representatives of the

Chugach Heritage Foundation state that

these areas are traditional burial

grounds of the Chugach people since

precontact times.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the United

States Forest Service have determined

that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2(d)(1), the

human remains listed above represent

the physical remains of 24 individuals

of Native American ancestry. Officials of

the United States Forest Service have

also determined that, pursuant to 25

U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of

shared group identity which can be

reasonably traced between these Native

American human remains and the

Chenega Bay I.R.A. Council, the Native

Village of Eyak, and the Tatitlek I.R.A.

Council.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Chugach Heritage Foundation, the

Chenega Bay I.R.A. Council, the Native

Village of Eyak, and the Tatitlek I.R.A.

Council. Representatives of any other

Indian tribe that believes itself to be

culturally affiliated with these human

remains and associated funerary objects

should contact Mr. Larry Hudson, Forest

Supervisor, Chugach National Forest,

U.S. Forest Service, Anchorage, AK;

telephone: (907) 271–2500, before

September 5, 1997. Control of the

human remains will be transferred to

the Chugach Heritage Foundation on

behalf of the Chenega Bay I.R.A.

Council, the Native Village of Eyak, and

the Tatitlek I.R.A. Council after that date

if no additional claimants come

forward.

determines,2 pursuant to sections 703(a)

and 733(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19

U.S.C. §§ 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)), that

there is a reasonable indication that an

industry in the United States is

materially injured by reason of imports

from Chile of fresh Atlantic salmon,

provided for in subheadings 0302.12.00

and 0304.10.40 of the Harmonized Tariff

Background

On June 12, 1997, a petition was filed

with the Commission and the

Department of Commerce by the

Coalition for Fair Atlantic Salmon

Trade, alleging that an industry in the

United States is materially injured and

threatened with material injury by

reason of subsidized and LTFV imports

of fresh Atlantic salmon from Chile.

Accordingly, effective June 12, 1997, the

Commission instituted countervailing

and antidumping duty investigations

Nos. 701–TA–372 and 731–TA–768

(Preliminary).

Notice of the institution of the

Commission’s investigations and of a

public conference to be held in

connection therewith was given by

posting copies of the notice in the Office

of the Secretary, U.S. International

Trade Commission, Washington, DC,

and by publishing the notice in the

Federal Register of June 20, 1997 (62

F.R. 33678). The conference was held in

Washington, DC, on July 3, 1997, and all

persons who requested the opportunity

were permitted to appear in person or

by counsel.

The Commission transmitted its

determinations in these investigations to

the Secretary of Commerce on July 28,

1997. The views of the Commission are

contained in USITC Publication 3052

701–TA–372 and 731–TA–768

(Preliminary).’’
