Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by National Park 

Service professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Confederated Tribes of the Colville 

Reservation; Confederated Tribes of the 

Umatilla Indian Reservation [previously 

listed as Confederated Tribes of the 

Umatilla Reservation, Oregon]; and the 

Nez Perce Tribe [previously listed as 

Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho] (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’). 

History and Description of the Remains 

At an unknown date between 1915 

and 1923, human remains representing, 

at minimum, one individual were 

removed from Big Hole National 

Battlefield in Beaverhead County, MT, 

by Thomas C. Sherill, summer caretaker 

of the Battlefield. The human remains 

are a partial braid of human hair. When 

Mr. Sherrill passed away in 1927, the 

human remains were transferred to his 

nephew, Theodore E. Sherill. In 1966, 

they were purchased from Theodore 

Sherill by the National Park Service. No 

known individual was identified. The 

60 associated funerary objects are 56 

blue glass trade beads and four red glass 

trade beads. 

At the time of acquisition park 

managers were under the belief that the 

human remains were those of a young 

Euro-American female who was 

allegedly living among the Nez Perce 

during the battle at Big Hole on August 

9, 1877. This belief was based on a story 

perpetuated by Thomas C. Sherrill and 

his nephew of the presence of a young, 

blonde or light-brown haired female 

who perished during the battle at Big 

Hole and was intentionally buried by 

the Nez Perce. 

National Park Service professional 

staff conducted a thorough and detailed 

analysis of the partial braid of hair and 

have determined that it is in fact dark 

brown to black in color, not light brown. 

It seems likely the lighter color is the 

result of eumelanin pigment in the hair 

breaking down over time, which is 

consistent with inhumation in the wet, 

oxidizing conditions found where the 

braid was collected. The texture of the 

hair in the interior portions of the braid 

is also very coarse. The dark color, taken 

in context with the very coarse and 

thick texture of the hair, make it very 

unlikely to be representative of a young, 

blonde-to-light-brown-haired female of 

Euro-American descent. 

The first and only known reference to 

the presence of a young female of EuroAmerican descent at the Big Hole battle 

is from Thomas C. Sherrill himself. 

National Park Service professional staff 

have conducted a thorough and 

complete review of all known historical 

documentation (including first-hand 

accounts of both military and Nez Perce 

participants) relating to the battle at Big 

Hole and the larger Nez Perce War of 

1877 and all archeological 

investigations conducted at Big Hole 

National Battlefield and has concluded 

that there is no credible evidence for the 

presence of a young female of EuroAmerican descent at the battle of Big 

Hole in 1877. 

Based on the review of all known 

historical and archeological evidence, 

an analysis of the hair, the age and style 

of the beads found with the hair, and 

the provenance of the finds, the human 

remains are most likely that of an 

individual of Native American descent. 

The origin of the find, eroding out of the 

riverbank adjacent to the location of the 

1877 Nez Perce encampment, is in 

keeping with the historical and 

archeological documentation. There are 

numerous historical accounts and Nez 

Perce oral tradition that the Nez Perce 

buried their dead along the riverbank 

following the battle. 

Determinations Made by the U.S. 

Department of the Interior, National 

Park Service, Big Hole National 

Battlefield 

Officials of the U.S. Department of the 

Interior, National Park Service, Big Hole 

National Battlefield have determined 

that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the 60 objects described in this notice 

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. 

• 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 associated funerary objects 

and The Tribes. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

that wish to request transfer of control 

of these human remains and associated 

funerary objects should submit a written 

request with information in support of 

the request to Stephen Thede, 

Superintendent, Big Hole National 

Battlefield, P.O. Box 237, Wisdom, MT

notice of the scheduling of an expedited 

review pursuant to the Tariff Act of 

1930 (‘‘the Act’’) to determine whether

injury within a reasonably foreseeable 

time.

FR 68275, December 1, 2021) of the 

subject five-year review was adequate 

and that the respondent interested party 

group response was inadequate. The 

Commission did not find any other 

circumstances that would warrant 

conducting a full review.1 Accordingly, 

the Commission determined that it 

would conduct an expedited review 

pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)).

SPACE ADMINISTRATION 

[Document Number NASA–22–024; Docket 

Number–NASA–2022–0002] 

National Environmental Policy Act; 

Mars Sample Return Campaign 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of intent; notice of 

meetings; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA), as amended, the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations for 

Implementing the Procedural Provisions 

of NEPA, and NASA’s procedures for 

implementing NEPA, NASA will 

prepare a Programmatic Environmental 

Impact Statement (PEIS) for the Mars 

Sample Return (MSR) Campaign; 

cooperating agencies for this effort 

include the U.S. Air Force (in 

accordance with, Environmental Impact 

Analysis Process), U.S. Army, U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, and U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services—Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention. The PEIS will provide 

information related to the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed return of Mars samples to 

Earth for scientific analysis. Potential 

impacts to be analyzed in the PEIS 

include those associated with ground 

disturbance from landing site 

preparation, and sample vehicle landing 

and recovery efforts with respect to 

natural, biological and cultural 

resources. NASA will also assess 

potential impacts to the human and 

natural environment associated with 

loss of containment of Mars sample 

materials. Additional information about 

the MSR Campaign may be found on the 

internet at: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/ 

missions/mars-sample-return-msr. 

DATES: The public scoping period for 

this PEIS is for a period of 30 days from 

publication of this notice. Fact sheets 

and other information regarding the 

NEPA and scoping process for the MSR 

Campaign will be made available at the 

following website beginning on April 

15, 2022: www.nasa.gov/feature/nepamars-sample-return-campaign. 

NASA will hold two VIRTUAL public 

scoping meetings to solicit comments 

regarding the Proposed Action and the 

environmental issues which NASA 

should consider in the PEIS. The virtual 

meetings will be held on May 4, 2022; 

1 p.m.–3 p.m. (Mountain) and May 5; 6 

p.m.–8 p.m. (Mountain) at the following 

URL: https://jpl.webex.com/meet/msr. 

The call-in number for audio-only users 

is: +1–510–210–8882. 

The meetings will begin with a brief 

welcome message followed by a 10- 

minute NASA presentation describing 

the purpose of the scoping meetings, 

project schedule, opportunities for 

public involvement, proposed action 

and alternatives summary, and 

programmatic approach. A 20-minute 

technical presentation regarding the 

MSR Campaign will then be provided. 

After the formal presentations will be a 

30-minute virtual ‘‘Open House’’ and 

question and answer session where 

meeting participants can ask questions 

of the panel presenters. After the 

technical presentations and question 

and answer session, the official scoping 

comment submission portion of the 

meetings will begin. The scoping 

comment submission session will be 55-
