National Park Service

Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural

Items from Arizona in the Possession

of the Laboratory of Anthropology,

Museum of Indian Arts and Culture,

Museum of New Mexico, Santa Fe, NM

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given under the

Native American Graves Protection and

Repatriation Act, 25 U.S.C. 3005 (a)(2),

of the intent to repatriate cultural items

in the possession of the Laboratory of

Anthropology, Museum of Indian Arts

and Culture, Museum of New Mexico,

Santa Fe, NM, which meet the

definition of ‘‘sacred objects’’ under

Section 2 of the Act.

The five cultural items are Hopi

Katsina Spirit Friends (masks),

including Nimu, Hemis, Tasap, Tassopmu’ Kwaama, and Mastop.

Between 1900–1901, Stanley

McCormick led an ethnographic and

archeological collection project to

Arizona and New Mexico for the Field

Museum, Chicago, IL, during which Mr.

H.R. Voth collected or secured these five

masks through Charles Owen. These

masks were then accessioned into the

collections of the Field Museum. In

1932 and 1933, these masks were

purchased by the Laboratory of

Anthropology, which became part of the

Museum of New Mexico in 1947.

Accession records of the Field

Museum and the Museum of New

Mexico clearly indicate these Spirit

Friends are of Hopi origin from Hopi

villages in Northern Arizona.

Consultation evidence presented by

representatives of the Hopi tribe and

Hopi traditional religious leaders

identified these Katsina Friends as

objects needed by traditional Native

American religious leaders for the

practice of traditional Native American

religions by their present-day adherents.

Consultation with representatives of the

Hopi Tribe further indicate that the

Katsinmomngwit (Hopi traditional

religious leaders) are the only rightful

custodians of the Katsina Friends.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the Museum of

New Mexico have determined that,

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), these

five cultural items are specific

ceremonial objects needed by traditional

Native American religious leaders for

the practice of traditional Native

American religions by their present-day

adherents. Lastly, officials of the

Museum of New Mexico have

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.

3001 (2), there is a relationship of

shared group identity which can be

reasonably traced between these items

and the Hopi Tribe.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Hopi Tribe. Representatives of

any other Indian tribe that believes itself

to be culturally affiliated with these

objects should contact Dr. Bruce

Bernstein, Director, Museum of Indian

Arts and Culture, Museum of New

Mexico, P.O. Box 2087, Santa Fe, NM

87504–2087; telephone (505) 827–6344

before May 16, 1997. Repatriation of

these objects to the Hopi Tribe may

begin after that date if no additional

claimants come forward.

Dated: April 9, 1997.

Notice of Intent to Repatriate a Cultural

Item in the Control of the Southwest

Museum, Los Angeles, CA

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given under the

Native American Graves Protection and

Repatriation Act, 25 U.S.C. 3005 (a)(2),

of the intent to repatriate a cultural item

in the control of the Southwest

Museum, Los Angeles, CA, which meets

the definition of ‘‘sacred object’’ and

‘‘object of cultural patrimony’’ under

Section 2 of the Act.

The cultural item is a carved wooden

figure standing 32–1/4 inches tall.

At an unknown date, this figure was

purchased from an unknown source by

the Southwest Museum. Accession

records indicate this figure was

‘‘probably’’ removed from a cave shrine

near Thunder Mountain, NM. There is

no other information regarding the

purchase or original acquisition of this

figure.

Consultation with representatives of

the Pueblo of Zuni indicates this figure

is a Ahaya:da, or Zuni War God.

Representatives of the Pueblo of Zuni

state that this Ahaya:da is needed by

Zuni traditional religious leaders for the

practice of traditional Zuni religion by

present-day adherents. Representatives

of the Pueblo of Zuni also state that this

Ahaya:da has ongoing historical,

traditional, and cultural importance

central to the Pueblo of Zuni, and could

not have been alienated by any

individual.

Based on the above-mentioned

information, officials of the Southwest

Museum have determined that,

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), this

cultural item is a specific ceremonial

object needed by traditional Native

American religious leaders for the

practice of traditional Native American

religions by their present-day adherents.

Officials of the Southwest Museum have

also determined that, pursuant to 25

U.S.C. 3001 (3)(D), this cultural item has

ongoing historical, traditional, and

cultural importance central to the

culture itself, and could not have been

alienated, appropriated, or conveyed by

any individual. Finally, officials of the

Southwest Museum have also

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.

3001 (2), there is a relationship of

shared group identity which can be

reasonably traced between these items

and the Pueblo of Zuni.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Pueblo of Zuni. Representatives of

any other Indian tribe that believes itself

to be culturally affiliated with these

objects should contact Dr. Kathleen

Whitaker, Chief Curator, Southwest

Museum, P.O. Box 41558, Los Angeles,

CA 19941–0558; telephone (213) 221–

2164 before May 16, 1997. Repatriation

of these objects to the Pueblo of Zuni

may begin after that date if no

additional claimants come forward.

3For purposes of this investigation, the subject

brake drums are defined by Commerce as being

made of:

‘‘gray cast iron, whether finished, semifinished,

or unfinished, ranging in diameter from 8 to 16

inches (20.32 to 40.64 centimeters) and in weight

from 8 to 45 pounds (3.63 to 20.41 kilograms). The

size parameters (weight and dimension) of the brake

drums limit their use to the following types of

motor vehicles: automobiles, all-terrain vehicles,

vans and recreational vehicles under ‘‘one ton and

a half,’’ and light trucks designated as ‘‘one ton and

a half.’’

Finished brake drums are those that are ready for

sale and installation without any further operations.

Semifinished drums are those on which the surface

is not entirely smooth, and has undergone some

drilling. Unfinished drums are those which have

undergone some grinding or turning.

These brake drums are for motor vehicles, and do

not contain in the casting a logo of an original

equipment manufacturer (OEM) which produces

vehicles sold in the United States (e.g., General

Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, Volvo).

Brake drums covered in this investigation are not

certified by OEM producers of vehicles sold in the

United States. The scope also includes composite

brake drums that are made of gray cast iron, which

contain a steel plate, but otherwise meet the above

criteria.’’

The subject brake rotors are defined by Commerce

as being made of:

‘‘gray cast iron, whether finished, semifinished,

or unfinished, ranging in diameter from 8 to 16

inches (20.32 to 40.64 centimeters) and in weight

from 8 to 45 pounds (3.63 to 20.41 kilograms). The

protect water quality in the Colorado

River for use in the United States and

the Republic of Mexico. Using the

criterion set forth in this Act and its

amendments, the Bureau of Reclamation

(Reclamation) and the U.S. Department

of Agriculture’s Natural Resource

Conservation Service (NRCS) (formerly

the Soil Conservation Service), as joint

lead agencies, have prepared a Planning

Report and Final Environmental Impact

Statement (PR/FEIS) for the Price-San

Rafael River Units, of the Colorado River

Water Quality Improvement Program

and the Colorado River Salinity Control

Program. The Preferred Alternative for

accomplishing the goals set forth for the

Price-San Rafael River Units is

identified in a Record of Decision (ROD)

signed April 9, 1997. Reclamation and

NRCS have decided to proceed with the

preferred alternative identified in the

PR/FEIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In June

1974, Congress enacted the Colorado

River Basin Salinity Control Act (Act),

Pub. L. 93–320. The Act directs that

plans will be made and evaluated for

cost effectiveness and maximum salinity

reduction. In October 1984, Pub. L. 98–

569 was enacted amending the Salinity

Control Act of 1974. It directed the

Secretary of Agriculture to establish a

voluntary on-farm salinity control

Program within the U.S. Department of

Agriculture. In March 1994, a public

review of the Colorado River Basin

Salinity Control Program was initiated.

The result was a 1995 amendment (Pub.

L. 104–20) to the Salinity Control Act.

The new Act authorized a basin-wide

salinity control program that the

Secretary of the Interior, acting through

the Bureau of Reclamation, shall

implement. An additional $75,000,000

was authorized to be appropriated to

complete the program.

The preferred alternative identified in

the ROD includes both Reclamation’s

component for off-farm irrigation

systems and winter water improvements

and the NRCS’s on-farm irrigation

systems. The preferred alternative

includes installation of sprinkler

irrigation systems, improved surface

irrigation and irrigation water

management, and the elimination of

water for open conveyance systems in

the project area during the winter (or

non-irrigation) season. These on- and

off-farm irrigation improvement

components are interdependent in terms

of economic and efficient operation.

This alternative would result in the

removal of 161,000 tons of salt per year

from the Colorado River System.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731–A–744 (Final)]

Certain Brake Drums and Rotors From

China

Determinations

On the basis of the record 1 developed

in the subject investigation, the United

States International Trade Commission

determines, pursuant to section 735(b)

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.

1673d(b)) (the Act), that an industry in

the United States is not materially

injured or threatened with material

injury, and the establishment of an

industry in the United States is not

materially retarded by reason of imports

from China of certain brake drums that

have been found by the Department of

Commerce to be sold in the United

States at less than fair value (LTFV). The

Commission also determines,2 pursuant

to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.

1673d(b)), that an industry in the United

States is materially injured by reason of

imports from China of certain brake

rotors that have been found by the

Department of Commerce to be sold in

the United States at LTFV. The

Commission, with respect to imports of

certain brake rotors and pursuant to

section 735(b)(4)(A) of the Act (19

U.S.C. 1673d(b)(4)(A)), makes a negative

determination regarding critical

circumstances. Both certain brake

drums and rotors are provided for in

subheading 8708.39.50 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States.3

Background

The Commission instituted this

investigation effective March 7, 1996,

following receipt of a petition filed with

the Commission and the Department of

Commerce by counsel for the Coalition

for the Preservation of American Brake

Drum & Rotor Aftermarket

Manufacturers.4 The final phase of the

investigation was scheduled by the

Commission following notification of a

preliminary determination by the

Department of Commerce that imports

of certain brake drums and rotors from

China were being sold at LTFV within

the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act

(19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the

scheduling of the Commission’s

investigation and of a public hearing to

be held in connection therewith was

given by posting copies of the notice in

the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
