Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 92 / Friday, May 10, 1996 / Notices 21485

DATES: The public has no later than July

9, 1996 to comment on the proposed

expansion of the Serpentine ACEC and

the proposed name change for the San

Benito Mountain Natural Area.

ADDRESSES: Comments should

addressed to: Bureau of Land

Management, Hollister Resource Area

Office, 20 Hamilton Court, Hollister, CA

95023, Attn: Robert E. Beehler, Area

Manager.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: (1)

Serpentine ACEC: Mining plans of

operation must be filed for claims inside

an ACEC—thus anyone proposing to

operate on a valid claim within the

expansion area would need to comply

with this regulation. Management of the

expansion areas would be the same as

within the previous boundaries.

(2) San Benito Mountain Natural

Area: The San Benito Mountain Natural

Area was designated in 1971. It was

designated as an ‘‘Outstanding’’ Natural

Area, one of the two possible types of

Natural Area classifications. The other

type of natural area classification is a

‘‘Research’’ Natural Area. The original

designation was 1,880 acres (August,

1971 36FR16122). In September 1971,

380 acres were withdrawn from the

designation because of unresolved

mining issues (36FR19177). In 1984,

with the development of the Hollister

Resource Management Plan, the

decision was made to re-incorporate

those 380 acres as Natural Area, because

the mining claim issue had been

resolved. Although this decision was

analyzed in the public planning process

and ultimately approved, the legal

boundaries were never published in the

Federal Register. Historic planning

maps and documents for the Natural

Area and the extension show that there

was one portion of the extension which

was not described in the Federal

Register notice. This portion is in

Section 14 and covers a 20-acre segment

in the north half of the south-east

quarter of the south-west quarter. It is

included in this notice. Additionally, a

typographical error in the Federal

Register notices showed the whole

western quarter of Section 15 being

included. This should have been the

eastern quarter of the section. This has

been corrected as well.

Public participation has occurred

throughout the planning process and is

encouraged. Anyone wishing additional

information may contact the Hollister

Resource Area Office at the address

shown above, or call 408– 637–8183.

Dated: May 3, 1996.

National Park Service

Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains and

Associated Funerary Objects from

Prince William Sound in the

Possession of the Burke Museum,

University of Washington, Seattle, WA

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

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

completion of an inventory of human

remains and associated funerary objects

in the possession of the Burke Museum,

University of Washington, Seattle, WA.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by the Burke

Museum professional staff in

consultation with representatives of the

Chugach Alaska Corporation, a Native

Alaskan Regional Corporation.

In 1902, human remains representing

two individuals were removed from an

island cave known as ‘‘Billy’s Hole’’ in

Prince William Sound, Alaska, by

Edmond S. Meany and donated to the

Burke Museum. No known individuals

were identified. The thirteen associated

funerary objects include two grave

boards, two paddles, a canoe prow, a

canoe section, and wooden sticks.

Prior to 1909, a pair of haliotis shell

earring were collected by George T.

Emmons and accessioned by the Burke

Museum in 1909. Accession records

indicate these earrings were removed

from a ‘‘mummy cave on an island in

Prince William Sound (Alaska).’’

Archeological and ethnographic

evidence from the islands of Prince

William Sound, including manner of

internment, continuity of technology,

and cultural items indicate continuous

occupation by the same communities

from the precontact period to the

present. Oral tradition presented by the

representatives of the Chugach Alaska

Corporation also supports Chugach

occupation of this area throughout this

period.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the Burke

Museum have determined that,
