Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Kerr County 

Sheriff’s Department Evidence 

Submission professional staff. Kerr 

County Justice of the Peace Precinct #4, 

Justice William Ragsdale has consulted 

with representatives of the Comanche 

Nation, Oklahoma, the Mescalero 

Apache Tribe of the Mescalero 

Reservation, New Mexico, and the Lipan 

Apache Band of Texas, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In May 2009, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from private 

property along a river bank in Kerr 

County, TX. Individuals clearing land 

along a dry river bank on private 

property discovered some fragmented 

bones in a niche. Believing the bones to 

possibly be human remains, the 

fragments were reported to the ranch 

manager, who advised that there had 

been other fragments removed from the 

same area in 2005. The Kerr County 

Sheriff’s Department was notified, took 

photos, and removed additional 

fragments from the river bank in Kerr 

County, TX. The remains were then 

taken to the Kerr County Sheriff’s 

Department secure evidence storage. 

The University of North Texas Center 

for Human Identification, Laboratory of 

Forensic Anthropology evaluated the 

bone fragments and prepared a report. 

The report concluded that the remains 

are historical/archeological in origin 

and are at least 100–200 years old. The 

remains were from one male individual, 

approximately 24 years of age, and most 

importantly, the remains are of 

Amerindian ancestry. No known 

individuals or specific tribal affiliation 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects were present. 

According to anthropologist Harrell 

Gill-King, Ph.D., D–ABFA, the Lipan 

Apache inhabited the entire length of 

the Guadalupe River basin 100 to 200 

years ago. According to Daniel Castro 

Romero, Jr., General Council Chairman, 

Lipan Apache Band of Texas, the Lipan 

Apache have historically used this 

geographical area for traditional hunting 

and burial. Mr. Romero believes that the 

Apache affiliation has been verified 

through previous scholarship. NAGPRA 

affiliate, Randy Barnes, has advised Kerr 

County that the area in question is 

traditional hunting and burial area of 

the Lipan Apache. This particular area 

in the Texas Hill Country has had 

several known tribal groups that were in 

the area within the estimated time 

period. The Lipan Apache, the Payaya 

Indians, the Carrizo Indians, and 

possibly the Comanche utilized the 

niche methods of burial. The last tribe 

with historical affiliation in the area was 

the Lipan Apache Band under Chief 

Castro, whose sons were scouts for the 

Texas Rangers. 

Determinations Made by the Kerr 

County Attorney’s Office 

Officials of the Kerr County 

Attorney’s Office have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), 

there is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and the Comanche Nation, 

Oklahoma, and the Mescalero Apache 

Tribe of the Mescalero Reservation, New 

Mexico. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to request transfer of control 

of these human remains should submit 

a written request with information in 

support of the request to Heather 

Stebbins, Kerr County Attorney, 700 

Main Street, Suite BA–103, Kerrville, 

TX 78028, telephone (830) 792–2220, 

email cmc@co.kerr.tx.us, by March 30, 

2015. After that date, if no additional 

requestors have come forward, transfer 

of control of the human remains to the 

Comanche Nation, Oklahoma, and the 

Mescalero Apache Tribe of the 

Mescalero Reservation, New Mexico, 

may proceed. 

The Kerr County Attorney’s office is 

responsible for notifying the Comanche 

Nation, Oklahoma, the Mescalero 

Apache Tribe of the Mescalero 

Reservation, New Mexico, and the Lipan 

Apache Band of Texas, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group, that this notice

COMMISSION 

[Investigation No. 731–TA–1269 

(Preliminary)] 

Silicomanganese From Australia; 

Institution of Antidumping Duty 

Investigation and Scheduling of 

Preliminary Phase Investigation 

AGENCY: United States International 

Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives 

notice of the institution of an 

investigation and commencement of 

preliminary phase antidumping duty 

investigation No. 731–TA–1269 

(Preliminary) under section 733(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1673b(a)) 

(the Act) to determine whether there is 

a reasonable indication that an industry 

in the United States is materially 

injured or threatened with material 

injury, or the establishment of an 

industry in the United States is 

materially retarded, by reason of 

imports from Australia of 

silicomanganese, provided for in 

subheading 7202.30.00 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States, that are alleged to be sold 

in the United States at less than fair 

value. Unless the Department of 

Commerce extends the time for 

initiation pursuant to section 

732(c)(1)(B) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1673a(c)(1)(B)), the Commission must 

reach a preliminary determination in 

antidumping duty investigations in 45 

days, or in this case by Monday, April 

6, 2015. The Commission’s views must 

be transmitted to Commerce within five 

business days thereafter, or by Monday, 

April 13, 2015.
