DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Land Management 

[AK–963–1410–ET; F–14988] 

Notice of Proposed Withdrawal 

Extension and Opportunity for Public 

Meeting: Alaska 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Air Force (USAF) 

has filed an application with the Bureau 

of Land Management that proposes to 

extend the duration of Public Land 

Order (PLO) No. 6706 for an additional 

20-year term. PLO No. 6706 withdrew 

4,606.70 acres of public land from 

settlement, sale, location, or entry under 

the general land laws, including the 

United States mining laws (30 U.S.C. 

Ch. 2), and from leasing under the 

mineral leasing laws, to protect the 

United States Air Force Indian 

Mountain Research Site. This notice 

also provides an opportunity for the 

public to comment on the proposed 

action and to request a public meeting. 

DATES: Comments and requests for a 

public meeting must be received by 

December 9, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting 

requests should be sent to the BLM 

Alaska State Director, Attn: Renee 

Fencl, Alaska State Office, 222 West 7th 

Avenue, No. 13, Anchorage, Alaska 

99513–7504. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Renee Fencl, BLM Alaska State Office, 

(907) 271–5067. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

withdrawal created by PLO No. 6706 (54 

FR 979, January 11, 1989) will expire 

January 10, 2009, unless extended. The 

USAF has filed an application to extend 

PLO No. 6706 for an additional 20-year 

term to protect the integrity of the 

information being monitored by seismic

equipment at the USAF Indian 

Mountain Research Site. 

This withdrawal comprises 4,606.70 

acres of public land located within: 

Kateel River Meridian 

T. 7 N., R. 24 E., 

Secs. 13 to 16, 

Secs. 21 to 27, 

Secs. 34, 35, and 36; and 

T. 7 N., R. 25 E., 

Secs. 18, and 19 as described in PLO 

No. 6706 (54 FR 979, January 11, 

1989). A complete description, 

along with all other records 

pertaining to the extension 

application, can be examined in the 

BLM Alaska State Office at the 

address shown above. 

As extended, the withdrawal would 

not alter the application of those public 

land laws governing the use of land 

under lease, license, or permit or 

governing the disposal of the mineral or 

vegetative resources other than under 

the mining and mineral leasing laws. 

The use of a right-of-way or 

interagency or cooperative agreement 

would not adequately protect the 

Federal investment in the Indian 

Mountain Research Site. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

available since the Indian Mountain 

Research Site is already constructed on 

the above-described public land. 

No water rights would be needed to 

fulfill the purpose of the requested 

withdrawal extension. 

For a period of 90 days from the date 

of publication of this notice, all persons 

who wish to submit comments, 

suggestions, or objections in connection 

with the proposed withdrawal extension 

may present their views in writing to 

the BLM Alaska State Director at the 

address indicated 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 identifying 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. Individual respondents may 

request confidentiality. If you wish to 

withhold your name or address from 

public review or from disclosure under 

the Freedom of Information Act, you 

must state this prominently at the 

beginning of your comments. Such 

requests will be honored to the extent 

allowed by law. All submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, will be 

made available for public inspection in 

their entirety. 

Notice is hereby given that an 

opportunity for a public meeting is 

afforded in connection with the 

proposed withdrawal extension. All 

interested parties who desire a public 

meeting for the purpose of being heard 

on the proposed extension must submit 

a written request to the BLM Alaska 

State Director within 90 days from the 

date of publication of this notice. Upon 

determination by the authorized officer 

that a public meeting will be held, a 

notice of the time and place will be 

published in the Federal Register at 

least 30 days before the scheduled date 

of the meeting. 

The withdrawal extension proposal 

will be processed in accordance with 

the regulations set forth in 43 CFR 

2310.4 and subject to Section 810 of the 

Alaska National Interest Lands 

Conservation Act, 16 U.S.C. 3120 

(2000). 

Authority: 43 CFR 2310.3–1(b). 

Dated: September 3, 2008.

BILLING CODE 4310–JA–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Intent To Repatriate Cultural 

Items: Field Museum of Natural 

History, Chicago, IL 

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. 3005, of the intent 

to repatriate cultural items in the 

possession of the Field Museum of 

Natural History (Field Museum), 

Chicago, IL, that meet the definition of 

‘‘unassociated funerary objects’’ under 

25 U.S.C. 3001. 

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 cultural 

items. The National Park Service is not 

responsible for the determinations in 

this notice. 

The two cultural items are a rattle and 

a worked walrus tusk. 

The rattle (catalog number 78326) is 

carved wood with shell or glass bead 

rattlers. It is painted with blue and red 

mineral paints. The body of the rattle 

represents an oyster catcher. The handle 

of the rattle is wrapped with a strip of 

black leather, and string is wrapped 

around the upper neck of the oyster 

catcher. It measures approximately 13 

inches long and 3 inches wide. 

The worked walrus tusk (catalog 

number 78074) is comprised of four 

sections. Each section measures 

approximately 11 inches long. 

According to Field Museum records, 

the walrus tusk sections were ‘‘found in 

an old cave on a small Island in Icy 

Straits where a Shaman of the ‘Hoonah’

tribe was laid away.’’ The rattle was 

‘‘believed to have come from an old 

grave house on the shores of Frederick 

Bay, near the village of ‘Gan-der-kan,’ of 

the ‘Hoonah tribe’.’’

At an unknown date, Lieutenant 

Emmons acquired the walrus tusk 

sections and rattle. In 1902, the Field 

Museum of Natural History purchased 

the cultural items from Lieutenant 

Emmons, and accessioned them into its 

collection that same year. 

The cultural affiliation of the two 

cultural items is Hoonah Tlingit, as 

indicated through museum records and 

consultation with representatives of the 

Hoonah Indian Association. 

Officials of the Field Museum of 

Natural History have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the 

two cultural items described above are 

reasonably believed to have been placed 

with or near individual human remains 

at the time of death or later as part of 

a death rite or ceremony and are 

believed, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, to have been removed from a 

specific burial site of a Native American 

individual. Officials of the Field 

Museum of Natural History also 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 

unassociated funerary objects and the 

Hoonah Indian Association. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the unassociated funerary 

objects should contact Helen Robbins, 

Repatriation Director, Field Museum of 

Natural History, 1400 South Lake Shore 

Drive, Chicago, IL 60605, telephone 

(312) 665–7317, before October 10, 

2008. Repatriation of the unassociated 

funerary objects to the Hoonah Indian 

Association may proceed after that date 

if no additional claimants come 

forward. 

The Field Museum of Natural History 

is responsible for notifying the Central 

Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian 

Tribes, Hoonah Indian Association,
