Abstract: Section 4 of the Endangered 

Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.) outlines the process by which we 

can list a species as a threatened species 

or an endangered species. When we 

consider whether to list a species, the 

ESA requires us to take into account the 

efforts made by any State or any 

political subdivision of a State to protect 

such species. We also take into account 

the efforts made by other entities. States 

or other entities often formalize 

conservation efforts in conservation 

agreements, conservation plans, 

management plans, or similar 

documents. The conservation efforts 

recommended or described in such 

documents could prevent some species 

from becoming so imperiled that they 

meet the definition of a threatened 

species or an endangered species under 

the ESA. 

The Policy for Evaluation of 

Conservation Efforts When Making 

Listing Decisions (PECE) (68 FR 15100, 

March 28, 2003) encourages the 

development of conservation 

agreements or plans and provides the 

standard that an individual 

conservation effort must meet in order 

for us to consider whether it is likely to 

make a difference in a species’ status. 

PECE applies to formalized conservation 

efforts that have not been implemented 

or have been implemented but have not 

yet demonstrated if they are effective at 

the time of a listing decision. 

Under PECE, formalized conservation 

efforts are defined as conservation 

efforts (specific actions, activities, or 

programs designed to eliminate or 

reduce threats or otherwise improve the 

status of a species) identified in a 

conservation agreement, conservation 

plan, management plan, or similar 

document. To assist us in evaluating 

whether a formalized conservation effort 

meets the standard under PECE, we 

collect information such as conservation 

plans, monitoring results, and progress 

reports. The development of any 

agreement or plan is voluntary. The 

PECE is posted on our Candidate 

Conservation website at http://

www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

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

3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural 

items under the control of Beloit 

College, Logan Museum of 

Anthropology, Beloit, WI, that meet the 

definition of unassociated funerary 

objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001. 

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 museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American cultural items. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Items 

Sometime between 1875 and 1889, 26 

cultural items were removed from San 

Nicolas Island in Ventura County, CA. 

The cultural items were removed by 

Reverend Stephen Bowers. Bowers 

made multiple collecting trips to San 

Nicolas Island, during which he 

removed thousands of cultural items. He 

later sold those items to museums and 

collectors. Between 1880 and 1881, 

Reverend Bowers owned two 

newspapers in Wisconsin, one in 

Clinton and one in Beloit, and they 

provide the context for his sale of 

cultural items to the Logan Museum. 

The 26 unassociated funerary objects are 

13 modified shells (965.01; 965.02; 

965.03; 965.04; 965.05; 965.06; 965.07; 

965.08; 965.09; 965.10; 965.11; 966.01; 

966.02), six unmodified shells (1008.01; 

1008.02; 1008.03; 1009.01; M.05.0085), 

two modified shells or bone (907), and 

five stone pestles (18204; 18205; 18206; 

18207; 18208). One pestle (18208) is 

currently missing from museum 

collections, but upon being located, it 

will be transferred with the other 

cultural items listed in this notice. 

Based on archeological information, a 

relationship of shared group identity 

may reasonably be traced between the 

following Indian Tribes and the people 

who occupied San Nicolas for at least 

10,000 years: La Jolla Band of Luiseno 

Indians, California [previously listed as 

La Jolla Band of Luiseno Mission 

Indians of the La Jolla Reservation]; Pala 

Band of Mission Indians [previously 

listed as Pala Band of Luiseno Mission 

Indians of the Pala Reservation, 

California]; Pauma Band of Luiseno 

Mission Indians of the Pauma & Yuima 

Reservation, California; Pechanga Band 

of Luiseno Mission Indians of the 

Pechanga Reservation, California; 

Rincon Band of Luiseno Mission 

Indians of Rincon Reservation, 

California; Santa Ynez Band of 

Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa 

Ynez Reservation, California; and the 

Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, 

California. Hereafter, these Indian 

Tribes are referred to as ‘‘The Tribes.’’ 

Determinations Made by Beloit College, 

Logan Museum of Anthropology 

Officials of Beloit College, Logan 

Museum of Anthropology have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), 

the 26 cultural items described above 

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 and 

are believed, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, to have been removed from a 

specific burial site of a Native American 

individual. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the unassociated 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 claim these cultural items 

should submit a written request with

Anthropology, Beloit College, 700 

College Street, Beloit, WI 53511,
