the Secretary of the Interior may

exclude an area from critical habitat if

it is determined that the economic or

other benefits of exclusion outweigh the

benefits of designating the area as

critical habitat, unless such exclusion

would lead to the extinction of the

species. The economic analysis assists

in making that determination.

The final economic analysis

concerning the designation of critical

habitat for the western snowy plover

will consider information and

recommendations from all interested

parties. Therefore, comments or

suggestions from the public, other

concerned governmental agencies, the

scientific community, industry or any

other interested party concerning this

draft document are solicited. All

comments and materials received

during the comment period will be

National Park Service

Notice of Intent To Repatriate Cultural

Items in the Possession of The

Maxwell Museum of Anthropology,

University of New Mexico

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

Act of 1990 of the intent to repatriate

a cultural item in the possession of The

Maxwell Museum of Anthropology,

University of New Mexico, Albuquerque

New Mexico, that meets the definitions

of ‘‘object of cultural patrimony’’ and

‘‘sacred object’’ under section 2 of the

act.

The object is a mask made of red

cotton canvas and hide with a leather

beak and eye circles, four fertility balls,

one pointed appendage on top, and two

faint black lines across the face. The

mask is thought to date to between 1900

and 1930. The item was acquired by the

Museum from Don Woodard of

Woodard Trading Post on March 27,

1965 and was given the accession

number 65.29.1.

Authorized representatives of the

Hopi Tribe acting on behalf of the

Katsina Society Priest and a

representative of the Katsina Clan of

Walpi Village have identified the mask

as a Mudhead (Koyemsi Katsina). They

have identified the mask as having

ongoing importance central to the Hopi

tribe as a whole and which could not

have been alienated, appropriated, or

conveyed by any individual. They have

also stated that the living mask is

needed by traditional Hopi religious

leaders for the practice of traditional

Hopi religion by present day adherents.

The Hopi tribe requested repatriation of

the living mask (Koyemsi Katsina) in a

letter dated March 31, 1995.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of The Maxwell

Museum of Anthropology 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 the mudhead

mask and the Hopi Tribe. Officials of

The Maxwell Museum of Anthropology

have also determined that the mudhead

mask meets the definition of object of

cultural patrimony pursuant to 25

U.S.C. 3001 2.(3)(D). Officials of The

Maxwell Museum of Anthropology have

also determined that the mudhead mask

meets the definition of Sacred Object

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 2.(3)(C).

The Maxwell Museum’s Director and

Curatorial committee and the University

of New Mexico officials have approved

the repatriation of the Mudhead Mask to

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 this

object should contact Dr. Garth Bawden,

Museum Director or Brenda Dorr,

NAGPRA Project Director at the

Maxwell Museum of Anthropology,

University of New Mexico,

Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131–1201,

telephone: (505) 277–0195, before June

5, 1995. Repatriation of the to the Hopi

Tribe can begin after that date if no

additional claimants come forward.

Dated: May 2, 1995.

Superintendent, Martin Luther King, Jr.

National Historic Site, 526 Auburn

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public

comments will be accepted for a period

of 45 days from the date of this notice.

I. The following described Federallyowned lands which were acquired by

the National Park Service, have been

determined to be suitable for disposal

by means of exchange. The authority for

this exchange is the Act of July 15, 1968

(16 U.S.C. 4601–22).

These selected Federal lands lie

inside the boundary of Martin Luther

King, Jr. National Historic Site. The

lands include the western half of the

former Martin Luther King, Jr.

Community Center which the City of

Atlanta conveyed via donation to the

National Park Service in 1994. The

Community Center property was

acquired from the City of Atlanta for

Service conversion of the eastern half of

the building to a Visitor Center for the

National Historic Site.

The western half was acquired for the

purpose of disposal by exchange with

Ebenezer Baptist Church who intends to

construct a new sanctuary on the lands

using private funds.

The selected lands have been

surveyed for cultural resources and

endangered and threatened species.

Although no known archaeological

resources exist on these lands, plans

have been made to assess and/or protect

archaeological resources should they be

discovered during excavation of and

construction on the land. The Land

Protection Plan, General Management

Plan Update and Environmental

Assessment discuss the use of this land

for exchange purposes, and these

reports along with Finding of No

Significant Impact are available upon

request.

Both the surface and the mineral

estates are to be exchanged. There are

no leases or permits affecting these

lands. The property has been surveyed

for hazardous substances and the

presence of asbestos and lead paint has

been documented.

The lands to be exchanged by the

United States are generally described as

follows: A portion of the lands at 450

Auburn Avenue, NE., adjacent to

Jackson Street.

The above lands contain a total of 1.5

acres, more or less. These lands will be

conveyed in fee simple and by

easement.

II. In exchange for the lands identified

in Paragraph I, the United States of

America will acquire land adjacent to

Ebenezer Baptist Church and a longer

term lease of the existing church

sanctuary building. These lands lie

within the boundary of Martin Luther

King, Jr. National Historic Site.

Acquisition of a long term leasehold

in the Church sanctuary building will

provide the National Park Service with

the authority to conduct visitor

interpretive tours and preserve the

historic sanctuary where Dr. King

served as co-pastor, one of the primary

cultural resources of the National

Historic Site.

The initial term of the lease shall be

50 years with the National Park Service

having the option to extend the lease for

an additional 50 years. Ebenezer Baptist

Church shall retain the right to use the

sanctuary periodically for weddings,

funerals, and similar special events.

Otherwise, the Service shall use the

church for interpretive programs and

administer the lands as part of Martin

Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site

upon completion of the exchange.

The land adjacent to the church to be

acquired by the United States of

America shall be used to provide

parking for handicapped and elderly

visitors to the National Historic Site.

These lands are being acquired in fee

simple with no reservations subject only

to rights-of-way and easement of record.

The lands to be acquired and leased

by the United States of America are

generally described as follows: All or a

portion of the lands at 407 Auburn

Avenue, NE., and 410–412 Edgewood

Avenue.

The above private lands contain 1.1

acres, more or less.

The value of the properties to be

exchanged shall be determined by a

current fair market value appraisal and

if they are not appropriately equal, the

values shall be equalized by donation

and/or payment of cash as

exchange including precise legal

descriptions, Land Protection Plan,

General Management Plan Update and

Environmental Assessment, cultural

reports, and Finding of No Significant

Impact are available at the offices of the

address. Adverse comments will be

evaluated and this action may be

modified or vacated accordingly. In the

absence of any action to modify or
