printed Light Lists. 

Light Lists are referred to in two Coast 

Guard regulations, 33 CFR 72.05–1 and 

72.05–5. They relate to Coast Guard 

agency management and are general 

policy statements without binding effect 

either on the public or on the Coast 

Guard. Therefore, under the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

551 et seq.), they can be amended 

without public notice and comment. We 

expect to revise these regulations to 

eliminate obsolete references to print 

distribution, as part of our forthcoming 

technical amendments to Title 33 of the 

CFR.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3003, of the completion of an inventory 

of human remains and associated 

funerary objects under the control of the 

U.S. Department of the Interior, 

National Park Service, Gulf Islands 

National Seashore, Gulf Breeze, FL. The 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects were removed from Top of 

Benchmark 2, Escambia County, FL. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in 

this notice are the sole responsibility of 

the Superintendent, Gulf Islands 

National Seashore. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Gulf Islands 

National Seashore professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas 

(previously listed as the AlabamaCoushatta Tribes of Texas); AlabamaQuassarte Tribal Town; Coushatta Tribe 

of Louisiana; Jena Band of Choctaw 

Indians; Kialegee Tribal Town; 

Miccosukee Tribe of Indians; 

Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians; 

Poarch Band of Creeks (previously listed 

as the Poarch Band of Creek Indians of 

Alabama); Seminole Tribe of Florida 

(previously listed as the Seminole Tribe 

of Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, 

Hollywood & Tampa Reservations)); The 

Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma; The 

Muscogee (Creek) Nation; The Seminole 

Nation of Oklahoma; Thlopthlocco 

Tribal Town; and Tunica-Biloxi Indian 

Tribe (hereafter referred to as ‘‘The 

Tribes’’). 

History and Description of the Remains 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, three 

individuals were removed from Top of 

Benchmark 2 in Escambia County, FL. 

These remains were donated to Gulf 

Islands National Seashore at an 

unknown date by Yulee Lazarus of the 

Fort Walton Temple Mound Museum. 

No known individuals were identified. 

The nine associated funerary objects are 

three untyped vessel fragments, two 

Weeden Island Incised vessel fragments, 

and four Wakulla Check Stamped vessel 

fragments. 

Top of Benchmark 2 is a prehistoric 

midden site that dates from the Weeden 

Island to the Pensacola period (400 

B.C.–A.D. 1700) and was first reported 

by William Lazarus and Gordon 

Simmons in the 1960s. Based on 

diagnostic ceramics, the Pensacola 

people were most likely the inhabitants 

of the area during this time. The 

Pensacola culture extended along the 

western Gulf coast of Florida, but also 

shared ceramic styles with groups in 

Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. 

Conflict in the 18th century displaced 

the Pensacola people in Florida, and 

historical evidence indicates that some 

were assimilated into the Choctaw. 

Others were likely absorbed by the 

Creek Indians when they overtook the 

area. Pensacola people are also believed 

to have gone west with other area tribes 

to join the Tunica-Biloxi Indians. The 

Pensacola spoke a Muscogean language; 

other Muscogee language family 

speakers include the Alabama, 

Seminole, Miccosukee, and Coushatta. 

Determinations Made By Gulf Islands 

National Seashore 

Officials of Gulf Islands National 

Seashore have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of three 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the nine objects described in this notice 

are reasonably believed to have been 

placed with or near individual human 

remains at the time of death or later as 

part of the death rite or ceremony. 

• 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 associated funerary objects 

and The Tribes. 

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 and associated 

funerary objects should submit a written 

request with information in support of 

the request to Daniel R. Brown, 

Superintendent, Gulf Islands National 

Seashore, 1801 Gulf Breeze Parkway,
