DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: U.S. 

Department of Energy, Richland 

Operations Office, Richland, WA and 

Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of 

Anthropology, University of California, 

Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains in the control of the U.S. 

Department of Energy, Richland 

Operations Office, Richland, WA, and in 

the physical custody of the Phoebe A. 

Hearst Museum of Anthropology (Hearst 

Museum), University of California, 

Berkeley, Berkeley, CA. The human 

remains were removed from Benton 

County, WA. 

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 human remains. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Hearst Museum 

professional staff on behalf of the 

Department of Energy and in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington; Confederated 

Tribes of the Umatilla Indian 

Reservation, Oregon; Confederated 

Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington; Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho; 

and Wanapum Band, a non-Federally 

recognized Indian group. 

In 1947, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

collected from site 45BN157, Jaeger’s 

Island, located on the U.S. Department 

of Energy’s Hanford Site near the south 

bank of the Columbia River 

approximately one mile west of Vernita 

Bridge, Benton County, WA, by Francis 

Riddell. The human remains consist of 

a patella and a shaft fragment 

representing a minimum of one 

individual adult, sex unknown (catalog 

2–21580). No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

The human remains were determined 

to be Native American based on the 

geographic location. Ethnographic 

documentation indicates that the 

present-day location of the Hanford Site, 

Benton County WA, is located within an 

overlapping aboriginal territory of the 

descendants of the Yakama, Walla 

Walla, and Wanapum groups, which are 

represented today by the Confederated 

Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington; Confederated Tribes of the 

Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon; 

and the Wanapum Band, a nonFederally recognized Indian group. The 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation, Washington, and Nez Perce 

Tribe, Idaho are also known to have 

used the area routinely. 

Officials of the Department of Energy 

and the Hearst Museum have 

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

3001 (9–10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the 

Department of Energy and the Hearst 

Museum have also determined that, 

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 Confederated Tribes of the 

Colville Reservation, Washington; 

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla 

Indian Reservation, Oregon; 

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the 

Yakama Nation, Washington; and Nez 

Perce Tribe, Idaho. Furthermore, 

officials of the Department of Energy 

and the Hearst Museum have 

determined that there is a cultural 

relationship between the human 

remains and the Wanapum Band, a nonFederally recognized Indian group. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Annabelle Rodriguez, 

U.S. Department of Energy, Cultural/ 

Historic Resources Program, Richland 

Operations Office, 825 Jadwin Avenue, 

MSIN A5–15 Richland, WA 99352, 

telephone (509) 372–0277, before April 

6, 2009. Repatriation of the human 

remains to the Confederated Tribes of 

the Colville Reservation, Washington; 

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla 

Indian Reservation, Oregon; 

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the 

Yakama Nation, Washington; Nez Perce 

Tribe, Idaho; and Wanapum Band, a 

non-Federally recognized Indian group, 

may proceed after that date if no 

additional claimants come forward. The 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville

Tribes of the Umatilla Indian 

Reservation, Oregon; Confederated 

Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington; Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho; 

and Wanapum Band, a non-Federally

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of renewal of a currently 

approved information collection (OMB 

No. 1006–0002). 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation, 

we) intends to submit a request for 

renewal (with revisions) of an existing 

approved information collection to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB): Recreation Use Data Report, 

OMB Control Number 1006–0002. As 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burdens, 

Reclamation invites State and local 

governmental entities that manage 

recreation sites at Reclamation projects; 

concessionaires, subconcessionaires, 

and not-for-profit organizations who 

operate concessions on Reclamation 

lands; and the general public, to 

comment on this information collection. 

DATES: We must receive your written 

comments on or before May 4, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: You may send written 

comments to the Bureau of Reclamation, 

Attention: 84–53000, P.O. Box 25007, 

Denver, CO 80225–0007. You may 

request copies of the proposed revised 

application form by writing to the above 

address or by contacting Darrell Welch 

at (303) 445–2711 or

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Darrell Welch at (303) 445–2711. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Reclamation collects Reclamationwide recreation and concession 

information (1) in support of existing 

public laws including the Land and 

Water Conservation Fund Act (Pub. L. 

88–578), the Federal Water Project 

Recreation Act (Pub. L. 89–72), and the 

Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement 

Act (Pub. L. 108–477); and (2) to fulfill 

reports to the President and the 

Congress. This collection of information 

allows Reclamation to (1) Meet the 

requirements of the Government 

Performance and Results Act (GPRA); 

(2) fulfill congressional and financial 

reporting requirements; and (3) support 

specific information required by Federal 

legislation and the Department of the 

Interior’s GPRA-based strategic plan. 

Collected information will permit 

relevant program assessments of 

resources managed by Reclamation, its 

recreation managing partners, and/or 

concessionaires for the purpose of 

implementing Reclamation’s mission to 

manage, develop, and protect water and 

related resources in an environmentally 

and economically sound manner in the 

interest of the American people. 

Specifically, the collected information 

provides Reclamation with the ability to 

(1) Evaluate program and management 

effectiveness pertaining to existing 

recreation and concessionaire resources 

and facilities; (2) assist in prioritizing 

Reclamation funding; and (3) validate 

effective public use of managed 

recreation resources located on 

Reclamation project lands in the 17 

Western States. 

II. Changes to the Recreation Use Data 

Report Forms Parts I and II 

Reclamation slightly modified Parts I 

and II forms by reformatting each by (1) 

Rearranging the questions in a more 

logical sequence; (2) deleting nonrelevant questions; and (3) adding 

questions that specifically address the 

recreation program needs of 

Reclamation. Note that some of the 

questions asked of the concessionaires 

in Part II, Form 7–2535 were deleted 

because some of the information 

originally being collected from the 

concessionaires was redundant to the 

information already being collected 

from Reclamation’s non-Federal 

partners in Part I, Form 7–2534. In 

addition, the title to Part I, Form 7–2535 

was changed from Managing Partners to 

Non-Federal Managing Partners to more 

accurately reflect that Reclamation is 

only collecting information from our 

non-Federal partners and not our 

existing Federal partners. 

III. Data
