19700 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 65 / Tuesday, April 5, 2022 / Notices 

Vegas Field Office. If you are the 

successful bidder, the BLM will select 

you as the preferred right-of-way 

applicant only if you: (1) Satisfy the 

qualifications in 43 CFR 2803.10; (2) 

make the required payments listed 

above; and (3) do not have any trespass 

action pending against you for any 

activity on BLM-administered lands or 

have any unpaid debts owed to the 

Federal Government. If the listed 

requirements are not satisfied within the 

15-day time period, the BLM will not 

select the identified successful bidder as 

the preferred right-of-way applicant and 

will keep all money that has been 

submitted. In that event, the BLM may 

identify the next highest bidder as the 

successful bidder (then follow 

requirements as noted above for 

successful bidder) or re-offer the lands 

through another competitive process. 

The administrative fee portion of the 

minimum bid will be retained by the 

agency to recover administrative costs 

for conducting the competitive bid and 

related processes. The remainder of the 

minimum bid and bonus bid will be 

deposited with the U.S. Treasury. 

Neither amount will be returned or 

refunded to the successful bidder(s) 

under any circumstance. If you are not 

the successful bidder, the BLM will 

return or refund the bid amount 

submitted with your bid. 

Any required payments submitted 

must be made by a certified check, 

postal money order, bank draft, or 

cashier’s check made payable in U.S. 

dollars to ‘‘Department of the Interior— 

Bureau of Land Management’’. 

If there is no bid received for the 

parcel, then no preferred right-of-way 

applicant will be identified and no 

application will be processed for solar 

energy development under the 

procedures listed in this notice. In the 

case of tied bids, the BLM may re-offer 

the lands competitively to the tied 

bidders or to all prospective bidders. 

Within 30 days of notification of the 

auction result, the successful bidder 

must submit a right-of-way application 

that conforms with all application 

requirements found at 43 CFR 2804.12. 

Within 60 days of notification of the 

auction result, the successful bidder 

must submit a plan of development that 

conforms with the BLM’s Solar Energy 

Development Plan of Development 

template. The preferred right-of-way 

applicant will be required to reimburse 

the United States for the cost of 

processing an application consistent 

with the requirements of the regulations 

at 43 CFR 2804.14. The cost recovery 

fees are based on the amount of time the 

BLM estimates it will take to process the 

right-of-way application and issue a 

decision. The BLM will begin 

processing the right-of-way application 

once the cost recovery fees are received 

as required by the regulations. 

Processing of the right-of-way 

application will be done in accordance 

with applicable law, regulation, and 

policy. Additional fees may be required 

as part of approval of a right-of-way 

grant, including mitigation-related fees. 

Only interests in issued right-of-way 

grants are assignable under the existing 

regulations at 43 CFR 2807.21. The 

interest acquired by the successful high 

bidder or preferred right-of-way 

applicant from this auction may not be 

assigned or sold to another party prior 

to the issuance of a right-of-way grant. 

The successful bidder may, however, 

continue to pursue their application if 

the successful bidder becomes a whollyowned subsidiary of a new third party. 

Segregation: Regulations found at 43 

CFR 2091.3–1(e) and 2804.25(f) allow 

the BLM to segregate public lands for 

potential rights-of-way when initiating a 

competitive process for solar energy 

development from the operation of the 

public land laws, including the Mining 

Law, by publication of a Federal 

Register notice. The BLM uses this 

authority to preserve its ability to 

approve, approve with modifications, or 

deny proposed rights-of-way, and to 

facilitate the orderly administration of 

the public lands. This segregation is 

subject to valid existing rights, 

including existing mining claims 

located before this segregation notice. 

Licenses, permits, cooperative 

agreements, or discretionary land use 

authorizations of a temporary nature 

which would not impact lands 

identified in this notice may be allowed 

with the approval of a BLM authorized 

officer during the segregation period. As 

provided in the regulations, the 

segregation of lands in this notice will 

not exceed 2 years from the date of 

publication unless extended for an 

additional 2 years through publication 

of a new notice in the Federal Register. 

The segregation period will terminate 

and the land will automatically reopen 

to appropriation under the public land 

laws, including the mining law at the 

earliest of the following dates: Upon 

issuance of a decision by the authorized 

officer granting, granting with 

modifications, or denying the 

application for a right-of-way; without 

further administrative action at the end 

of the segregation provided for in the 

Federal Register notice initiating the 

segregation; or upon publication of a 

Federal Register notice terminating the 

segregation. Upon termination of the 

segregation of these lands, all lands 

subject to this segregation would 

automatically reopen to appropriation 

under the public land laws, including 

the mining law.

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 History 

Nebraska, Lincoln, NE, 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 

In October of 1991, two cultural items 

were removed from archeological site 

25ST21 in Stanton County, NE. The 

objects were collected from the surface 

of the site during an archeological 

research survey conducted by the 

University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 

Department of Anthropology. Site 

25ST21 is a known cemetery associated 

with a village occupied by members of 

the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska in the 

1820s and 1830s. At an unknown date, 

these objects were transferred to History 

Nebraska. The two unassociated 

funerary objects include one lot of glass 

beads (13 beads) and one lot of 

wampum beads (three beads). 

The age of the bead types is consistent 

for the period when the Omaha Tribe of 

Nebraska was interring their dead at this 

cemetery site. Consequently, these 

objects are reasonably believed to be 

funerary objects that were disinterred 

from subsurface graves through animal 

activity or cultivation. 

Determinations Made by History 

Nebraska 

Officials of History Nebraska have 

determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), 

the two 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 Omaha Tribe of 

Nebraska. 

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 

information in support of the claim to 

Dave Williams, History Nebraska, 

Nebraska State Archeology Office, 5050 

North 32nd Street, Lincoln, NE 68504, 

telephone (402) 219–2759, email 

dave.williams@nebraska.gov, by May 5, 

2022. After that date, if no additional 

claimants have come forward, transfer 

of control of the unassociated funerary 

objects to the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska 

may proceed. 

History Nebraska is responsible for 

notifying the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska 

that this notice has been published. 

Dated: March 30, 2022.
