SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This notice is for a new information 

collection. 

The Department of the Interior (DOI) 

owns and manages over 185 million 

artifacts, scientific specimens, and 

documents in trust for the American 

public—a collection size that rivals the 

Smithsonian Institution. This diverse 

collection consists of archaeological 

artifacts, archives, art, biological 

specimens, ethnographic objects, 

geological specimens, historic objects, 

and paleontological specimens that are 

held by ten of DOI’s bureaus and offices. 

The majority of DOI’s collections are 

housed in bureau facilities; however, 

over ten percent (more than 19 million 

objects and 11,000 cubic feet of objects) 

are housed by at least 839 non-Federal 

repositories, the majority of which are 

museums associated with, or 

departments of, U.S. colleges and 

universities. Most are scientific 

collections from the disciplines of 

archaeology, biology, geology, and 

paleontology and include associated 

archival records. 

DOI museum collections, regardless of 

where they are housed, must be 

managed according to preservation, 

documentation, educational, and other 

requirements in the public interest. 

These requirements are mandated by a 

number of Federal laws, regulations, 

and policies, notably: Act for the 

Preservation of American Antiquities of 

1906 (Antiquities Act) (16 U.S.C. 431– 

433); Historic Sites Act of 1935 (16 

U.S.C. 461–467); Management of 

Museum Properties Act of 1955, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 18f); National 

Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.); 

Archeological and Historic Preservation 

Act of 1974, as amended (16 U.S.C. 469– 

469l-2); Archaeological Resources 

Protection Act of 1979, as amended (16 

U.S.C. 470aa–mm); Native American 

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act 

of 1990 (25 U.S.C. 3001–3013); 

Paleontological Resources Preservation 

Act (PRPA); Curation of FederallyOwned and Administered 

Archaeological Collections (36 CFR part 

79); and the Department of the Interior 

Departmental Manual, Part 411: 

Identifying and Managing Museum 

Property (411 DM). 

411 DM, which implements the 

Federal laws and regulations noted 

above, requires the following 

information be collected, used, and 

retained by all bureaus that hold 

ownership of museum collections: 

Facility Checklist for Spaces Housing 

DOI Museum Property; catalog records; 

accession records; and inventories of 

museum collections. These 

requirements apply to all DOI museum 

collections regardless of each 

collection’s location (DOI facility or 

non-DOI facility) or the personnel that 

accomplished the work (DOI staff, 

contractors, partners, cooperators, 

agencies, institutions, or similar 

organizations associated with the 

Department).

Background 

Under a safe harbor agreement, 

participating landowners voluntarily 

undertake management activities on 

their property to enhance, restore, or 

maintain habitat benefiting species 

listed under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.). Safe harbor agreements, and the 

subsequent permits that are issued 

under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Act, 

encourage private and other non-Federal 

property owners to implement 

conservation efforts for listed species by 

assuring property owners that they will 

not be subjected to increased land use
