Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 97 / Friday, May 17, 1996 / Notices 24951

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by Peabody Museum

of Archaeology and Ethnology

professional staff in consultation with

representatives of the Jamestown

S’Klallam Tribe, the Lower Elwa

Klallam Tribe, and the Port Gamble

S’Klallam Tribe.

In 1868, human remains representing

two individuals were removed from two

burial locations at New Dungeness,

Straits of Juan de Fuca, WA, and

donated to the museum by David Mack,

Jr. No known individuals were

identified. No associated funerary

objects are present.

During 1875–1906, Myron Eells stated

that the New Dungeness cemetery area

was used for S’Klallam community

interments identical in manner to the

burials of these human remains now in

the Peabody Museum of Archaeology

and Ethnology’s collection. Oral

tradition evidence presented by the

representatives of the Jamestown

S’Klallam Tribe, the Lower Elwa

Klallam Tribe, and the Port Gamble

S’Klallam Tribe indicates these

individuals were removed from known

traditional S’Klallam cemetery areas.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the Peabody

Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology

have determined that, pursuant to 43

CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the human remains

listed above represent the physical

remains of two individuals of Native

American ancestry. Officials of the

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and

Ethnology 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

these Native American human remains

and associated funerary objects and the

Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, the Lower

Elwa Klallam Tribe, and the Port

Gamble S’Klallam Tribe.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, the

Lower Elwa Klallam Tribe, and the Port

Gamble S’Klallam Tribe.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these human remains and

associated funerary objects should

contact Barbara Issac, Repatriation

Coordinator, Peabody Museum of

Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard

University, 11 Divinity Ave.,

Cambridge, MA 02138; telephone: (617)

495–2254, before June 17, 1996.

Repatriation of the human remains to

the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, the

Lower Elwa Klallam Tribe, and the Port

Gamble S’Klallam Tribe may begin after

that date if no additional claimants

come forward.

Notice of Intent to Prepare a

Supplemental Environmental Impact

Statement for a Proposed Land

Transfer to the State of California for

the Purpose of Developing a Low-Level

Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility at

Ward Valley

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

Management (BLM) in California

intends to prepare a Supplemental

Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)

for a proposed land transfer to the State

of California for the purpose of

developing a low-level radioactive

waste disposal facility at Ward Valley.

The SEIS will address new information

that has become available and new

circumstances that have occurred since

the Environmental Impact Statement/

Report (EIS/EIR) was completed in April

1991 and the initial SEIS was completed

in September 1993. The site of the

proposed Federal land transfer is

located in San Bernardino County, CA,

approximately 20 miles west of the city

of Needles.

DATES: The public is invited to submit

formal written comments on the scope

of the SEIS, or provide new information

about the site and proposed actions. All

written comments must be received by

BLM at the address listed below no later

than July 1, 1996.

Three public scoping workshops will

also be held, and each will be open to

the public at the following dates and

locations:

June 3 in Sacramento 2–5 p.m. and 7–

9 p.m. at Cal Expo Club, 1600

Exposition Blvd;

June 5 in San Bernardino from 2–5 p.m.

and 7–9 p.m. at the National Orange

Show Grounds, Arrowhead Avenue,

Gate 9, Renaissance Room;

June 12 in Needles from 2–5 p.m. and

7–9 p.m. at Elks Lodge No. 1608, 1000

Lily Hill Drive.

These workshops will provide the

public additional opportunities to

supply additional information and to

identify issues to be addressed in the

SEIS. They will be conducted in an

open house format; BLM will simply

record the issues identified or

information offered by the public.

Submission of written comments is

strongly encouraged to facilitate the

sessions.

ADDRESSES: Any written comments or

requests to be placed on the mailing list

should be sent to Ward Valley Land

Transfer Coordinator (CA–930), Bureau

of Land Management, 2800 Cottage

Way, Sacramento, CA 95825.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Richard F. Johnson or John S. Mills at

(916) 979–2820.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SEIS

will focus on new information and

circumstances, including the May 1995

National Academy of Sciences Report;

the results of tritium and related testing

to be conducted at the site; recent U.S.

Geological Survey information

concerning tritium and other radioactive

materials detected in proximity to a

closed LLRW facility at Beatty, Nevada,

and other evidence of migration of

radioactive and other wastes from the

Beatty facility; the results of

consultation with Native American

Tribes; the possible effect of the

proposed transfer, construction, and

operation of the LLRW facility on areas

of cultural importance to nearby Native

American Tribes and any Tribal rights

recognized by federal law; the

designation of Ward Valley by the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service as critical

habitat for the desert tortoise and a 1995

FWS Biological Opinion evaluating the

potential impacts of the land transfer

and facility on the tortoise and its

critical habitat; a report prepared by the

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

concerning release of radionuclides into

the atmosphere and effects on desert

tortoise habitat; a hydrogeologic report

on the proposed facility site

commissioned by the Metropolitan

Water District of Southern California;

and other information submitted by the

public. Issues that were fully analyzed

in the 1991 EIS/EIR and the 1993 SEIS

(which was limited to the changed land

transfer method from indemnity

selection to direct sale), and are not the

subject of new information or

circumstances, will not be addressed in

this SEIS.

A separate public notice will be

issued in the near future regarding

procedures for the tritium and related

testing to be done at the site.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

COMMISSION

Report to the President on

Investigation No. NAFTA–302–1

(Provisional Relief Phase); Broom

Corn Brooms 1

Determinations

On the basis of the statute and

available information developed to date

in the subject investigation—

Chairman Watson and Commissioner

Crawford make a negative determination

with respect to whether—

(1) There is clear evidence that, as a

result of the reduction or elimination of

a duty provided for under the NAFTA,

broom corn brooms from Mexico are

being imported into the United States in

such increased quantities (in absolute

terms) and under such conditions so

that imports of the article, alone,

constitute a substantial cause of serious

injury or a threat of serious injury to the

domestic industry producing an article

that is like, or directly competitive with,

the imported article; and

(2) Delay in taking action would cause

damage to that industry that would be

difficult to repair.

Commissioner Rohr determines—

(1) There is clear evidence that, as a

result of the reduction or elimination of

a duty provided for under the NAFTA,

broom corn brooms from Mexico are

being imported into the United States in

such increased quantities (in absolute

terms) and under such conditions so

that imports of the article, alone,

constitute a substantial cause of a threat

of serious injury to the domestic

industry producing an article that is

like, or directly competitive with, the

imported article; but

(2) Delay in taking action would not

cause damage to that industry that

would be difficult to repair.

Vice Chairman Nuzum and

Commissioners Newquist and Bragg

determine—

(1) There is clear evidence that, as a

result of the reduction or elimination of

a duty provided for under the NAFTA,

broom corn brooms from Mexico are

being imported into the United States in

such increased quantities (in absolute

terms) and under such conditions so

that imports of the article, alone,

constitute a substantial cause of a threat

of serious injury (Vice Chairman

Nuzum, Commissioners Newquist and

Bragg) to the domestic industry

producing an article that is like, or

directly competitive with, the imported

article; and

(2) Delay in taking action would cause

damage to that industry that would be

difficult to repair.

Background

Following receipt of a petition filed

on March 4, 1996, on behalf of the U.S.

Cornbroom Task Force and its

individual members, the Commission

instituted investigation No. NAFTA–

302–1 to determine whether, as a result

of the reduction or elimination of a duty

provided for under the NAFTA, broom

corn brooms from Mexico are being

imported into the United States in such

increased quantities (in absolute terms)

and under such conditions so that

imports of the article, alone, constitute

a substantial cause of serious injury, or

a threat of serious injury, to the

domestic industry producing an article

that is like or directly competitive with

the imported article. In addition, the

petitioner asserted that critical

circumstances exist and requested,

pursuant to section 302(a)(2) of the

NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C.

§ 3352(a)(2)), that provisional relief be

provided.

Notice of the institution of the

Commission’s investigation was given

by posting copies of the notice in the

Office of the Secretary, U.S.

International Trade Commission,

Washington, DC, and by publishing the

notice in the Federal Register of March

18, 1996 (61 F.R. 11061).

The Commission transmitted its

determination in this investigation to

the President on May 3, 1996. The views

of the Commission are contained in

USITC Publication 2963 (May 1996),

entitled ‘‘Broom Corn Brooms:

Investigation No. NAFTA 302–1

(Provisional Relief Phase).’’

Issued: May 10, 1996.

By order of the Commission.
