Strategy were also considered further.

The National Park Service has decided

to continue to prohibit concurrent

events at both the tennis center and

Carter Barron Amphitheatre.

The remaining measures were rejected

as impractical. The parking annex and

onsite parking annex lot were

eliminated because they would be very

costly, would only be necessary for

those few days per year when there

were tournament events with more than

5,000 spectators, would not mitigate

noise impacts, would require removal of

vegetation, and would contribute to

natural resource impacts. Limiting the

scale of tournament sessions (e.g., to

fewer spectators) or the days of events

(e.g., 6 days of play instead of 12) were

rejected because it would probably

render a professional tennis tournament

untenable. Limiting the timing of

tournament would eliminate the ability

to adjust to differing conditions such as

weather. Closing the Colorado Avenue

exit from lot C within the tennis center

was not determined to be feasible

because it would cause gridlock, and

would limit access by emergency

vehicles such as fire trucks or

ambulances.

Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remain From

the Vicinity of Silver City, ID in the

Possession of the Archaeological

Survey of Idaho—Western Repository,

Idaho State Historical Society, Boise,

ID

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d), of the

completion of an inventory of human

remains and associated funerary objects

in the possession of the Archaeological

Survey of Idaho—Western Repository,

Idaho State Historical Society, Boise, ID.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by Idaho State

Historical Society professional staff in

consultation with representatives of the

Shoshone-Bannock Tribe and the

Shoshone-Paiute Indian Tribe.

In 1914, human remains representing

one individual were donated to the

Idaho State Historical Society by Mr.

O.D. Brumbaugh of Silver City, ID. Mr.

Brumbaugh identified these remains as

Chief Buffalo Horn, a Bannock Indian

leader during the Bannock War. No

associated funerary objects are present.

A document associated with this

donation identified the skull as that of

Chief Buffalo Horn, and states that the

skull was traced and identified by one

of the Silver City volunteers, Jim Griffin,

a participant in the Bannock War battle

at South Mountain of 1878 in the

vicinity of Silver City. Although at least

three alternatives of the fate of Chief

Buffalo Horn are discussed in official

reports and oral histories, the

characteristics of this skull, including

an injury to the left side of the skull, and

the circumstances regarding its recovery

and donation to the Idaho State

Historical Society support its

identification as Chief Buffalo Horn. Ms.

Rosphine J. Coby, a great-great-great

grandchild of Chief Buffalo Horn has

made a claim of lineal descent on behalf

of herself and four other great-greatgreat grandchildren of Chief Buffalo

Horn.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the Idaho State

Historical Society have determined that,

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

human remains listed above represent

the physical remains of one individual

of Native American ancestry. Officials of

the Idaho State Historical Society have

also determined that, pursuant to 25

U.S.C. 3005 (a)(5)(A), Ms. Rosphine

Coby can trace her ancestry directly and

without interruption by means of the

traditional kinship system of the

Bannock Tribe to Chief Buffalo Horn.

This notice has been sent to Ms.

Rosphine Coby and officials of the

Shoshone-Bannock Tribe and the

Shoshone-Paiute Indian Tribe.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these human remains

should contact Robert Yohe, Director,

Idaho Archaeological Survey, Idaho

State Historical Society, 210 Main

Street, Boise, ID 83702; telephone: (208)

334093847 before February 28, 1997.

Repatriation of the human remains to

Ms. Rosphine Coby may begin after that

date if no additional claimants come

forward.

Dated: January 22, 1997.

Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural

Items in the Possession of the Heard

Museum, Phoenix, AZ

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given under the

Native American Graves Protection and

Repatriation Act, 25 U.S.C. 3005 (a)(2),

of the intent to repatriate cultural items

in the possession of the Heard Museum,

Phoenix, AZ, which meet the definition

of ‘‘sacred objects’’ under Section 2 of

the Act.

The items consist of 37 Hopi spirit

friends or katsina masks

(Katsinkwaatsim). Descriptive names of

the katsinum spirits are as follows:

Kipok-choshoposhyaka, Masaau,

Palasuwitzmi Angak’tsina, Chakwaina

(two spirits), Tasaf katsina,

Angak’tsinmana, Poiwamutaka, Heheya,

Kweo, Koyemsi (seven spirits), Wawash

katsina, Qoqlo, Angak’tsinum (five

spirits), Hiilili, Ngayayataaqa katsina,

tasafmana (two spirits), Qoia

kasinamana (two spirits), Lenang

katsina, Kokopelli, Hu-katsina,

Angwusnasomtaaqa/Tumas, Piptaka,

Hemis katsinmana (two spirits), and

Utechem.

Twenty-seven of these

Katsinkwaatsim were donated by the

Fred Harvey Corporation to the Heard

Museum in 1978; including four masks

with no collection information; 11

masks collected by Henry Voth in the

early 1900s; and 12 masks collected by

Charles Owen between 1912 and 1913.

Nine masks are individual donations

made in 1971, 1975, 1976, and 1982,

and the circumstances and date of

acquisition are unknown for one mask.

Over the years, Hopi religious

practitioners have visited the museum

collections to provide religious care for

the Katsinkwaatsim. During

consultation, representatives of the Hopi

Tribe identified these 37

Katsinkwaatsim as specific ceremonial

objects which are needed by traditional

religious leaders for the practice of the

Hopi religion by present-day adherents.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the Heard

Museum have determined that,
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 19 / Wednesday, January 29, 1997 / Notices 4329

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), these

37 cultural items are specific ceremonial

objects needed by traditional Native

American religious leaders for the

practice of traditional Native American

religions by their present-day adherents.

Officials of the Heard Museum 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 items

and the Hopi Tribe.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Hopi Tribe. Representatives of

any other Indian tribe that believes itself

to be culturally affiliated with these

objects should contact Martin Sullivan,

Director, The Heard Museum, 22 E.

Monte Vista Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85004–

1480, telephone (602) 252–8840 before

February 28, 1997. Repatriation of these

objects to the Hopi Tribe may begin after

that date if no additional claimants

come forward.

Dated: January 21, 1997.

Bureau of Reclamation

Notice of Request for Revisions of a

Currently Approved Information

Collection

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice and request for

comments.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this

notice announces the intentions of the

Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) to

revise a currently approved information

collection for Certification and

Reporting Summary Forms for Acreage

Limitation. Because of recent changes to

the Acreage Limitation Rules and

Regulations (43 CFR Part 426), revisions

are needed to the summary forms. The

revisions would be included on the

forms starting with those distributed for

the 1998 water year.

Comments are invited on: (a) whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of Reclamation,

including whether the information shall

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of

Reclamation’s estimated burden of the

proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on those who are to respond, including

through the use of automated collection

techniques or other forms of information

technology.

DATES: Comments on this notice must be

received by March 31, 1997 to be

assured of consideration.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Copies of the proposed revised forms

are available by submitting a written

request to the Bureau of Reclamation,

D–5200, PO Box 25007, Denver,

Colorado 80225–0007 or by calling (303)

236–1061, extension 293. Written

comments are to be submitted to

Reclamation at the above address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Certification and Reporting

Summary Forms for Acreage Limitation,

43 CFR Part 426.

OMB Approval Number: 1006–0006.

Abstract: These forms are to be used

by water district offices to summarize

individual landholder certification and

reporting forms as required by the

Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (Title

II of Pub. L. 97–293) and 43 CFR Part

426, Acreage Limitation Rules and

Regulations (currently titled Rules and

Regulations for Projects Governed by

Federal Reclamation Law). This

information allows Reclamation to

establish water user compliance with

reclamation law.

Frequency: Annually.

Respondents: Contracting entities for

Reclamation project irrigation water.

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting

burden for this collection of information

is estimated to average 40 hours per

response.

Estimated number of Respondents:

302.

Estimated number of Responses per

Respondent: 1.25.

Estimated Number of Annual

Responses: 378.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 15,120.

Specific Changes

1. Each district will be required to

indicate the Reclamation Reform Act of

1982 forms submittal threshold

category, either Category 1 or Category

2, on their district summary form(s).

The associated instructions will be

revised to reflect this new requirement.

This requirement will be included on

both the summary of certification forms

and the summary of reporting forms

because often districts subject to the

discretionary provisions may have

landholders who only hold land

indirectly in their district and have not

conformed to the discretionary

provisions. Accordingly, such districts

must complete both a summary of

certification forms and a summary of

reporting forms.

2. All district summary forms and

instructions will be reviewed and

updated to ensure Code of Federal

Regulations citations reflect the revised

Acreage Limitation Rules and

Regulations that become effective on

January 1, 1998. For example, the

section of those rules that addresses

information requirements will change

from 43 CFR 426.10 to 43 CFR 421.18

on that date.

All responses to this notice will be

summarized and included in the request

for OMB approval. All comments will

also become a matter of public record.

Dated: January 22, 1997.
