Containing 38,016.60 acres, more or less. 

The area described contains 

approximately 38,016.60 acres located 

in Mohave County, Arizona. The BLM 

announced its intention to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement and 

initiated a public scoping process for 

the Proposed Project on November 20, 

2009 (74 FR 60289). A supplemental 

notice of intent was issued on July 26, 

2010 (75 FR 43551). 

The BLM is segregating the lands 

under the authority contained in 43 CFR 

2091.3–1(e) and 43 CFR 2804.25(e) for a 

period of 2 years, subject to valid 

existing rights. This 2-year segregation 

period will commence on March 2, 

2012. These public lands will be 

segregated from appropriation under the 

public land laws, including the mining 

law, but not the mineral leasing or 

material sales acts. This segregation will 

not affect valid existing rights. It has 

been determined that this segregation is 

necessary for the orderly administration 

of the public lands by maintaining the 

status quo while the BLM processes the 

ROW application for the Proposed 

Project. 

The segregation period will terminate 

and the lands will automatically reopen 

to appropriation under the public land 

laws, including the mining laws, if one 

of the following events occurs: (1) Upon 

the issuance of a decision by the 

authorized officer granting, granting 

with modifications, or denying the 

application for a right-of-way; (2) upon 

publication of a Federal Register notice 

of termination of the segregation; or (3) 

without further administrative action at 

the end of the segregation provided for 

in this Federal Register notice initiating 

the segregation, whichever occurs first. 

Any segregation made under this 

authority would be effective for a period 

of 2 years. The lands to be segregated 

pursuant to the authority at 43 CFR 

2091.3–1(e) and 2804.25(e) are 

identified in the legal description 

provided above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), requires museums to 

compile certain information 

(summaries, inventories, and notices) 

regarding Native American cultural 

items in their possession or control and 

provide that information to lineal 

descendants, likely interested Indian 

tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, and the National 

NAGPRA Program (acting on behalf of 

the Secretary of the Interior, housed in 

the National Park Service), to support 

consultation in the process of 

publishing notices that establish rights 

to repatriation. The summaries are 

general descriptions of the museum’s 

Native American collection, sent to all 

possibly interested tribes to disclose the 

collection, should the tribe desire to 

consult on items and present a claim. 

The inventories are item-by-item lists of 

the human remains and their funerary 

objects, upon which the museum 

consults with likely affiliated tribes to 

determine cultural affiliation, tribal land 

origination, or origination from 

aboriginal lands of Federal recognized 

tribes. Consultation and claims for items 

require information exchange between 

museums and tribes on the collections. 

Notices of Inventory Completion, 

published in the Federal Register 

indicate the museum decisions of rights 

of lineal descendants and tribes to 

receive human remains and funerary 

objects; Notices of Intent to Repatriate, 

published in the Federal Register, 

indicate the agreements of museums 

and tribes to transfer control to tribes of 

funerary objects, sacred objects and 

objects of cultural patrimony. Museums 

identify NAGPRA protected items in the 

collection through examination of 

museum records and from consultation 

with tribes. 

The National NAGPRA Program 

maintains the public databases of 

summary, inventory and notice 

information to support consultation. In 

the first 20 years of the administration 

of NAGPRA approximately 40,000 

Native American human remains, of a 

possible collection of 180,000 

individuals, have been listed in 

NAGPRA notices. Information 

collection of previous years is of lasting 

benefit, diminishing efforts in future 

years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The NPS authorizes private 

businesses known as concessioners to 

provide necessary and appropriate 

visitor facilities and services in areas of 

the National Park System. Concession 

authorizations may be assigned, sold, 

transferred, or encumbered by the 

concessioner subject to prior written 

approval of the NPS. The NPS requires 

that certain information be submitted 

for review prior to the consummation of 

any sale, transfer, assignment, or 

encumbrance. 

The information requested is used to 

determine whether or not the proposed 

transaction will result in an adverse 

impact on the protection, conservation, 

or preservation of the resources of the 

unit of the National Park System; 

decreased services to the public; the 

lack of a reasonable opportunity for 

profit over the remaining term of the 

authorization; or rates in excess of 

approved rates to the public. In 

addition, pursuant to the regulations at 

36 CFR Part 51, the value of rights for 

intangible assets such as the concession 

contract, right of preference in renewal, 

user days, or low fees, belongs to the 

Government. 

If any portion of the purchase price is 

attributable either directly or indirectly 

to such assets, the transaction may not 

be approved. The amount and type of 

information to be submitted varies with 

the type and complexity of the proposed 

transaction. Without such information, 

the NPS would be unable to determine 

whether approval of the proposed 

transaction would be adequate. 

II. Data 

OMB Control Number: 1024–0126. 

Title: Proposed Sale of Concession 

Operations, 36 CFR 51, Subpart J. 

Form(s): None. 

Type of Request: Extension of a

information.
