Montana State Office, telephone: (406) 

896–5045, email: dsorg@blm.gov; or you

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

applicant is the FWS, and its petition/ 

application requests the Secretary of the 

Interior withdraw the following 

described public land from all forms of 

appropriation under the public land 

laws, including location and entry 

under the United States mining laws, 

subject to valid existing rights, but not 

from leasing under the mineral and 

geothermal leasing laws; transfer 

administrative jurisdiction to FWS; and 

reserve the land for management of a 

waterfowl production area for a 100- 

year term. 

Fifth Principal Meridian, North Dakota 

T. 163 N., R. 65 W., 

Sec. 5, lot 3. 

The area described contains 13.50 acres. 

The Secretary of the Interior approved 

the FWS’s petition. Therefore, the 

petition/application constitutes a 

withdrawal proposal of the Secretary of 

the Interior (43 CFR 2310.1–3(e)). 

The use of a rights-of-way, 

interagency agreement, or cooperative 

agreement would not provide adequate 

protection of the waterfowl production 

area. 

No additional water rights will be 

needed to fulfill the purpose of this new 

withdrawal. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

since these lands are located within the 

Dash Lake Waterfowl Production Area. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware 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 your personal identifying 

information from public review, 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 

persons who desire a public meeting for 

the purpose of being heard on the 

proposed withdrawal must submit a 

written request to the BLM Montana/ 

Dakotas State Director no later than June 

15, 2022. If the authorized officer 

determines 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 March 18, 2024, the 

public land described earlier will be 

segregated from all forms of 

appropriation under the public land 

laws, including location and entry 

under the United States mining laws, 

subject to valid existing rights, but not 

from leasing under the mineral and 

geothermal leasing laws, unless the 

application is denied or canceled, or the 

withdrawal is approved prior to that 

date. The BLM and the FWS are 

preparing an environmental assessment 

and anticipate reaching a finding of no 

significant impact. Information 

regarding the proposed withdrawal, 

including environmental and other 

reviews will be available at the Montana 

State Office and on BLM’s ePlanning 

site at https://eplanning.blm.gov/ 

eplanning-ui/project/2017980/510. 

This application will be processed in 

accordance with the regulations set 

forth in 43 CFR part 2300.

Trinity National Forest professional staff 

in consultation with representatives of 

the Redding Rancheria, California. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1964, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from a cave in Shasta County, 

CA. The artifacts were discovered in 

back dirt that had been excavated from 

a trench in 1904. The human remains 

were stored at an unknown location 

until 2015, at which time they were 

returned to the Forest Service by 

California State University-Sacramento 

(CSUS) in a bag labeled ‘‘CA–SHA–48, 

Cave, 81–CSUS–121.02.’’ In 2016, the 

Forest Service archeologist was notified 

that the human remains were under 

Forest Service control. The human 

remains are currently located at the 

University of California-Davis. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Collection records indicate that site 

CA–SHA–49 was occupied primarily 

between 1,700 and 2,000 years ago, as 

evidenced by three radiocarbon dates 

obtained in 1974 (this radiocarbon 

dating was not determined from an 

analysis of human remains). 

Determinations Made by the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service, Shasta Trinity National Forest 

Officials of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, Shasta 

Trinity National Forest 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 Redding Rancheria, 

California. 

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 Rachel A.
