Regulatory Flexibility Act 

These proposed rate adjustments are 

not a rule for the purposes of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act because they 

establish ‘‘a rule of particular 

applicability relating to rates.’’ 5 U.S.C. 

601(2). 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995 

These proposed rate adjustments do 

not impose an unfunded mandate on 

state, local, or Tribal governments in the 

aggregate, or on the private sector, of 

more than $130 million per year. They 

do not have a significant or unique 

effect on State, local, or Tribal 

governments or the private sector. 

Therefore, the Department is not 

required to prepare a statement 

containing the information required by 

the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). 

Takings (Executive Order 12630) 

These proposed rate adjustments do 

not effect a taking of private property or 

otherwise have ‘‘takings’’ implications 

under Executive Order 12630. The 

proposed rate adjustments do not 

deprive the public, State, or local 

governments of rights or property. 

Federalism (Executive Order 13132) 

Under the criteria in section 1 of 

Executive Order 13132, these proposed 

rate adjustments do not have sufficient 

federalism implications to warrant the 

preparation of a federalism summary 

impact statement because they will not 

affect the States, the relationship 

between the national government and 

the States, or the distribution of power 

and responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. A federalism 

summary impact statement is not 

required. 

Civil Justice Reform (Executive Order 

12988) 

This notice complies with the 

requirements of Executive Order 12988. 

Specifically, in issuing this notice, the 

Department has taken the necessary 

steps to eliminate drafting errors and 

ambiguity, minimize potential litigation, 

and provide a clear legal standard for 

affected conduct as required by section 

3 of Executive Order 12988. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

These proposed rate adjustments do 

not affect the collections of information 

which have been approved by the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. The OMB Control Number 

is 1076–0141 and expires March 31, 

2026. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

The Department has determined that 

these proposed rate adjustments do not 

constitute a major Federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment and that no 

detailed statement is required under the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321–4370(d), pursuant 

to 43 CFR 46.210(i). In addition, the 

proposed rate adjustments do not 

present any of the 12 extraordinary 

circumstances listed at 43 CFR 46.215.

Description 

The following were recovered from 

three counties in northwest Ohio, 

Fulton, Henry, and Williams Counties. 

33 FU 5, Patyi-Dowling Site, Fulton 

Township, Fulton County, Ohio. There 

are two individuals who were exhumed 

by Robert Cufr and reported by David 

Stothers with the University of Toledo 

in 1972. The remains were retained by 

the Firelands Archaeological Research 

Center and donated by them to the Ohio 

History Connection in 2021. There are 

three associated funerary objects 

included; one coral or shell piece with 

yellowish staining and two small animal 

long bone fragments. 

33 FU 101, Fish Site, Royalton 

Township, Fulton County, Ohio. One 

adult human tooth was found at this 

site. The 70 associated funerary objects 

consist of several components ranging 

from the Early Archaic to the Late 

Woodland period. Specific provenience 

of the objects is unknown, they were 

surface finds collected at the same 

location. 

Pioneer, Madison Township, 

Williams County, Ohio. This one 

individual was received from the Lucas 

County Coroner’s Office in 2020 and 

was brought to Ohio History Connection 

in 2021. 

33 HY 127, Brown Site No. 1, 

Damascus Township, Henry County, 

Ohio. There are two individuals who 

were likely exhumed in the early 1980s 

from a site along the Maumee River 

bank and were donated to the Firelands 

Archaeological Research Center who 

then donated them to the Ohio History 

Connection in 2021. There are eight lots 

of various affiliated objects consisting of 

ceramic sherds, faunal remains, shell 

fragments, debitage and soil. 

Ritter Park, Napoleon Township, 

Henry County, Ohio. The two 

individuals were exhumed from the 

Maumee River bank. The Lucas County 

Coroner’s Office transferred them to 

Ohio History Connection in 2019.

funerary objects in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
