DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Land Management 

[LLAKF03000.L12200000.DU0000] 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Amendment to the Kobuk-Seward 

Peninsula Resource Management Plan 

for the Squirrel River Special 

Recreation Management Area, Alaska 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) Central Yukon Field 

Office intends to amend the KobukSeward Peninsula Resource 

Management Plan (KSP/RMP) to address 

the Squirrel River Special Recreation 

Management Area (SRMA), located 30 

miles northwest of Kotzebue, Alaska. 

The area was identified as an SRMA in 

the KSP/RMP. Some recreation 

decisions that will be addressed in the 

SRMA are land use plan-level decisions 

requiring a land use plan amendment. 

The amendment will include an 

associated environmental assessment 

(EA). This notice announces the 

beginning of the scoping period to 

solicit public comments and identify 

issues. 

DATES: Scoping input may be submitted 

in writing until 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, or 15 days 

after the last public meeting, whichever 

is later. Public scoping meetings will be 

held in Kiana, Noorvik, Kotzebue, 

Fairbanks, and Anchorage. Meeting 

dates, times and locations will be 

announced through local news media 

outlets and on the BLM-Alaska Web site 

http://www.blm.gov/ak/ at least 15 days 

prior to the meeting. The BLM will 

provide additional opportunities for 

public comment after preparation of the 

proposed land use plan amendment and 

EA. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments by any of 

the following methods: 

• E-mail: 

AK_CYFO_GeneralDelivery@blm.gov. 

• Fax: (907) 474–2282. 

• Mail: BLM Central Yukon Field 

Office, Attention—KSP/RMP

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLMadministered Squirrel River SRMA is 

located in western Alaska, 

approximately 30 miles northwest of 

Kotzebue, Alaska. The Squirrel River 

SRMA encompasses approximately 

683,000 acres of public land managed 

by the BLM. The Record of Decision for 

the KSP/RMP signed in September 2008 

specified that an activity plan for the 

Squirrel River SRMA would be 

completed by September 2011. To 

complete the activity plan, the BLM will 

establish recreation management zones 

(RMZs) and identify the associated land 

use plan-level decisions. Since the KSP/ 

RMP did not identify the RMZs and the 

associated RMZ decisions, an 

amendment to the RMP is necessary. 

The EA will analyze the impacts of 

land use plan-level and implementation 

plan-level decisions proposed for the 

Squirrel River SRMA. These decisions 

will focus on determining proper use 

levels, visitor numbers, recreation 

administration, and travel management. 

This amendment and associated EA will 

meet the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA), the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), the 

Alaska National Interest Lands 

Conservation Act of 1980 (ANILCA), 

and the BLM policies. The BLM will 

work collaboratively with interested 

parties to identify the issues to be 

addressed by this planning effort. 

The preliminary issues and 

opportunities to be addressed include: 

• What are the effects of the 

recreation and travel management 

decisions on subsistence hunting, 

commercially-guided hunting, and 

general hunting? 

• What are the effects of the 

recreation and travel management 

decisions on moose and caribou 

populations? 

• What are the effects of the 

recreation and travel management 

decisions on access to inholdings? 

• What are the effects of the 

recreation and travel management 

decisions on the local and regional 

economy? 

The following preliminary criteria will 

help guide the amendment/EA process: 

1. Opportunities for public 

participation will be encouraged 

throughout the RMP amendment 

process; 

2. Valid existing rights will be 

recognized and protected; 

3. Subsistence uses will be considered 

and adverse impacts minimized in 

accordance with Title VIII of ANILCA;

4. BLM will work cooperatively with 

State and Federal agencies, Native 

corporations, Tribes, municipal 

governments, interested groups, and 

individuals; 

5. Decisions reached in this 

amendment will consider and adhere to 

Alaska Department of Fish and Game 

objectives to the extent that they are 

consistent with Title VIII of ANILCA; 

6. This plan amendment will conform 

to the BLM Land Use Planning 

Handbook H–1601–1, as well as 

FLPMA, NEPA, ANILCA, and other 

applicable laws and policies; 

7. The amendment will be consistent 

with the Alaska Statewide Land Health 

Standards; 

8. Route designations for off-highway 

vehicles for public lands within the 

Squirrel River SRMA will be completed 

in accordance with the regulations at 43 

CFR 8342; 

9. Recreation and travel management 

decisions related to the Squirrel River 

SRMA will follow guidance in the 

BLM’s Land Use Planning Handbook. 

All other decisions made in the KSP/ 

RMP will remain in effect; 

10. The plan will address only the 

BLM managed lands within the Squirrel 

River SRMA; and 

11. The BLM will incorporate 

Environmental Justice (EJ) 

considerations into this amendment, to 

adequately respond to the EJ identified 

issues faced by minority populations, 

low income communities, and Tribes 

living near the planning area and using 

public land resources. 

The purpose of the public scoping 

process is to identify relevant issues and 

planning criteria that will guide the 

planning process and influence the 

scope of the analysis and EA 

alternatives. You may submit comments 

on issues and planning criteria in 

writing to the BLM at public scoping 

meetings or by the methods listed in the 

ADDRESSES section above. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

e-mail address, or other personal 

identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal information—may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask us in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Wisconsin Historical Society, Museum 

Division, Madison, WI 

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 and associated funerary objects 

in the possession of the Wisconsin 

Historical Society, Museum Division 

(aka State Historical Society of 

Wisconsin), Madison, WI. The human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed from Fond du Lac 

County, WI. 

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 and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

An assessment of the human remains 

was made by the Wisconsin Historical 

Society professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the 

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. 

In 1926, human remains were 

removed from a grave near Luco Creek 

(47–FD–0242), Fond du Lac, Fond du 

Lac County, WI, during sewer 

construction. Workers encountered 

three skeletons with associated funerary 

objects. On September 23, 1926, one 

cranium and some of the associated 

funerary objects were brought to the 

Wisconsin Historical Society. A small 

glazed ceramic perfume bottle was sent 

to the Milwaukee Public Museum at 

about the same time. The workers 

retained custody of a pipe, beads, and 

two silver crosses, but discarded the 

other skeletal material at the time of 

discovery, (see Wisconsin Historical 

Society accession file 1926.84 and the 

Archaeological Sites Inventory). No 

known individual was identified. The 

two associated funerary objects are one 

trade sheet silver headdress and a 

fragment of woven cloth. 

Trade silver first appeared in the 

United States circa A.D. 1760. What is 

referred to as German trade silver (an 

alloy of copper, zinc, and nickel) was 

not introduced until A.D. 1830. The 

sheet silver headdress has been 

identified as German trade silver, 

thereby dating the burial to post A.D. 

1830. Based on cranial morphology, the 

human remains are determined to 

represent an adult male of mixed Native 

American and Caucasian ethnicity. Oral 

history and historical records, indicate 

the Luco Creek site is located across the 

creek from an historic Winnebago 

village, which was located at 

Taycheedah, (1857, Augustin Grignon, 

Wisconsin Historical Collections 3: 264, 

288). This places the site within the 

historic territory of the Ho-Chunk 

Nation of Wisconsin and Winnebago 

Tribe of Nebraska. Furthermore, the 

dates of occupation of the site are 

consistent with the time-period in 

which the Ho-Chunk Nation of 

Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of 

Nebraska inhabited the area. 

Officials of the Wisconsin Historical 

Society have determined that, pursuant 

to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the 

Wisconsin Historical Society also have 

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

3001(3)(A), the two objects described 

above are reasonably believed to have 

been placed with or near the human 

remains at the time of death or later 

during the death rite or ceremony. 

Lastly, officials of the Wisconsin 

Historical Society have 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 associated funerary objects and the 

Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the 

Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains and/ 

or associated funerary objects should 

contact Jennifer L. Kolb at the 

Wisconsin Historical Museum, 30 N. 

Carroll St., Madison, WI 53703, 

telephone (608) 261–2461, before June 

14, 2010. Repatriation of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

to the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin 

and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska 

may proceed after that date if no 

additional claimants come forward. 

The Wisconsin Historical Society is 

responsible for notifying the Ho-Chunk 

Nation of Wisconsin and the Winnebago 

Tribe of Nebraska that this notice has 

been published.
