tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 17, 2015 / Notices 8339 

the petition/application constitutes a 

withdrawal proposal of the Secretary of 

the Interior (43 CFR 2310.1–3(e)). 

The use of a right-of-way, interagency 

agreement, or cooperative agreement 

would not adequately constrain mineral 

location and surface entry which could 

adversely affect ongoing management 

activities, and existing and planned 

capital improvements resulting in land 

use conflicts as well as irretrievable loss 

of natural resources. 

No water is necessary to fulfill the 

purpose of the requested withdrawal. 

Records relating to this withdrawal 

application may be examined by 

contacting the BLM at the above address 

and phone number. 

For a period until May 18, 2015, all 

persons who wish to submit comments, 

suggestions, or objections in connection 

with the proposed withdrawal may 

present their views in writing to the 

BLM State Director at the address 

indicated above. 

Comments, including names and 

street addresses of respondents, will be 

available for public review at the 

address indicated above during regular 

business hours. Before including your 

address, phone number, email address, 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, be 

advised that your entire comment— 

including your personal identifying 

information—may be made publicly 

available at any time. While you can ask 

us in your comment to withhold from 

public review your personal identifying 

information, we cannot guarantee that 

we will be able to do so. 

Notice is hereby given that an 

opportunity for a public meeting is 

afforded in connection with the 

proposed withdrawal. All interested 

parties who desire a public meeting for 

the purpose of being heard on the 

proposed withdrawal must submit a 

written request to the BLM State 

Director at the address indicated above 

by May 18, 2015. Upon determination 

by the authorized officer that a public 

meeting will be held, a notice of the 

time and place will be published in the 

Federal Register and a local newspaper 

at least 30 days before the scheduled 

date of the meeting. 

For a period until February 17, 2017, 

the public lands described in this notice 

will be segregated from location and 

entry under the United States mining 

laws, but not from leasing under the 

mineral or geothermal leasing laws, or 

disposal under the Materials Act of 

1947, unless the application is denied or 

canceled or the withdrawal is approved 

prior to that date. 

Licenses, permits, cooperative 

agreements, or discretionary land use 

authorizations of a temporary nature 

that will not significantly impact the 

values to be protected by the 

withdrawal may be allowed with the 

approval of the authorized officer of the 

BLM during the temporary segregation 

period. 

The application will be processed in 

accordance with the regulations set 

forth in 43 CFR part 2300.

Acting Chief, Branch of Land, Mineral, and 

Energy Resources.

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.
