Environmental Impact Statement,

Capitol Reef National Park, UT

AGENCY: National Park Service,

Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Availability of draft

environmental impact statement and

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

and General Management Plan (DEIS/

GMP) for Capitol Reef National Park,

Utah.

DATES: The DEIS/GMP will remain

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DEIS/

GMP analyzes four alternatives to future

direction of park resources management,

to adaptive use of the Sleeping Rainbow

Ranch, to interpretation of the Fruita

Rural Historic District, and to amount of

visitor services. Alternative A

(preferred) is designed to protect and

preserve exceptional resources, the

quality of visitor experience, and the

wilderness characteristics of certain

portions of the park. Alternative B

focuses on removing many existing

developments to restore and enhance

natural and historic resources and the

wilderness qualities of the park.

Alternative C continues actions

identified in the 1982 General

Management Plan which emphasizes

visitor services and facilities, including

development in some backcountry

areas. Alternative D, the No Action Plan,

would maintain visitor services and

resource protection at current limited

levels throughout the life of the plan.

The DEIS/GMP in particular evaluates

the environmental consequences of the

proposed action and the other

alternatives on vegetation and wildlife,

endangered species, scenic values,

archeological and historic resources,

visitor services, and economy of

adjacent communities.

National Park, at the above address and

Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains and

Associated Funerary Objects from

Clay County, SD in the Possession of

the South Dakota State Archaeological

Research Center, Rapid City, SD

AGENCY: National Park Service.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA), 43 CFR 10.9, of the

completion of an inventory of human

remains and associated funerary objects

from Clay County, SD in the possession

of the South Dakota State

Archaeological Research Center, Rapid

City, SD.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by South Dakota

State Archaeological Research Center

(SARC) professional staff and contract

specialists in physical anthropology and

archeology in consultation with

representatives of the Iowa Tribe of

Kansas and Nebraska, Iowa Tribe of

Oklahoma and the Otoe-Missouria Tribe

of Oklahoma.

In 1987, human remains representing

one individual from the Vermillion

Bluff Village (39CL1), Clay County, SD

were identified in SARC collections

during inventory procedures. No known

individuals were identified. The two

associated funerary objects include a

lunate flint knife and a projectile point

embedded in the scapula.

Between 1920-1930, ten individuals

and funerary objects were donated to

the Dakota Museum, University of

South Dakota-Vermillion (now the W.H.

Over Museum) by private property

owners following their discovery during

homes construction at the Vermillion

Bluff Village site. These human remains

and funerary objects were transferred to

the SARC in 1974. In 1982, six of these

individuals, identified as Sioux, were

repatriated to Frank Fools Crow of the

Oglala Sioux Tribe of the Pine Ridge

Reservation. In 1986, four individuals

were reburied in South Dakota by the
