57286 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 181 / Monday, September 20, 2010 / Notices 

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA 

(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. Until OMB approves a 

collection of information, you are not 

obligated to respond. 

Comments: Before submitting an ICR 

to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

requires each agency ‘‘* * * to provide 

notice * * * and otherwise consult 

with members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning each proposed 

collection of information * * *’’. 

Agencies must specifically solicit 

comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the agency to perform its 

duties, including whether the 

information is useful; (b) evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (c) enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

minimize the burden on the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Agencies must also estimate the nonhour cost burdens to respondents or 

recordkeepers resulting from the 

collection of information. Therefore, if 

you have costs to generate, maintain, 

and disclose this information, you 

should comment and provide your total 

capital and startup cost components or 

annual operation, maintenance, and 

purchase of service components. You 

should describe the methods you use to 

estimate major cost factors, including 

system and technology acquisition, 

expected useful life of capital 

equipment, discount rate(s), and the 

period over which you incur costs. 

Capital and startup costs include, 

among other items, computers and 

software you purchase to prepare for 

collecting information, monitoring, and 

record storage facilities. You should not 

include estimates for equipment or 

services purchased: (i) Before October 1, 

1995; (ii) to comply with requirements 

not associated with the information 

collection; (iii) for reasons other than to 

provide information or keep records for 

the Government; or (iv) as part of 

customary and usual business or private 

practices. 

We will summarize written responses 

to this notice and address them in our 

submission for OMB approval. As a 

result of your comments, we will make 

any necessary adjustments to the burden 

in our submission to OMB. 

Public Comment Procedures: 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NextLight 

Renewable Power, LLC, applied to the 

BLM for a right-of-way on public lands 

to construct a solar photovoltaic (PV) 

facility approximately 2 miles southeast 

of Primm, Nevada, in Clark County. As 

originally proposed, the project 

included 6,320 acres of BLM managed 

lands and was expected to operate for 

approximately 50 years. The proposed 

project would be capable of producing 

400 megawatts of electricity. 

The solar field and infrastructure 

would consist of fixed panels, an 

underground and overhead electrical 

power collection system, two step-up 

transformers, 230-kilovolt (kV) and 220- 

kV transmission lines, an operation and 

maintenance area, a switchyard, paved 

access and maintenance roads, flood 

and drainage controls, and a fire break. 

The Final EIS describes and analyzes 

site-specific impacts of the proposed 

project on air quality; biological, 

cultural, water, soil, visual, 

paleontological, and geological 

resources; recreation; land use; noise; 

public health; socioeconomics; and 

traffic and transportation. 

The Final EIS analyzes three 

alternatives, including the no action 

alternative (Alternative 1) and 2 action 

alternatives. Alternative 2, the proposed 

action and the BLM’s preferred 

alternative, would disturb up to 2,967 

acres of BLM managed land and would 

include the use of berms to reduce 

erosion. Alternative 3 would disturb up 

to 4,818 acres of BLM managed land and 

would employ an alternate drainage and 

flood control design to control erosion. 

The Final EIS describes the different 

types of solar arrays and trackers that 

were considered and their respective 

impacts. 

On April 16, 2010, the BLM published 

the Notice of Availability for the Draft 

EIS for this project in the Federal 

Register [75 FR19990]. The BLM held 3 

public meetings and accepted written 

comments during a 45-day comment 


jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 181 / Monday, September 20, 2010 / Notices 57287 

period. Comments primarily addressed 

concerns with tortoise mitigation, 

groundwater drawdown, visual resource 

management, and air quality/dust 

control during construction. 

Comments on the Draft EIS received 

from the public and internal BLM 

review were considered and are 

incorporated as appropriate into the 

Final EIS.

BILLING CODE 4310–DN–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Intent to Repatriate a Cultural 

Item: Oshkosh Public Museum, 

Oshkosh, 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. 3005, of the intent 

to repatriate a cultural item in the 

possession of the Oshkosh Public 

Museum, Oshkosh, WI, that meets the 

definition of unassociated funerary 

object 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 

item. The National Park Service is not 

responsible for the determinations in 

this notice. 

The cultural item is a partially 

reconstructed and undecorated shelltempered ceramic bowl, 8 cm high and 

12 cm in diameter. The bowl was 

reconstructed and labeled ‘‘47/WN/139 

Vessel Q’’ by the University of 

Wisconsin-Oshkosh. After 

reconstruction, the University returned 

the bowl to the landowner, Gerald Lee. 

According to the Wisconsin State site 

report (47–WN–139) the bowl is a small 

undecorated shell-tempered pot that 

was found in 1971. It was found in 

association with an adult burial on the 

property of Gerald Lee in Poygan, WI, 

and the burial was reburied at St. 

Thomas Cemetery, Omro, WI. The 

Oshkosh Public Museum accessioned 

the bowl on April 27, 2010, after Dennis 

Lee, son of Gerald Lee, donated the 

bowl to the museum. 

The Wisconsin State site report lists 

the cultural affiliation for the Gerald Lee 

site as Late Woodland, Oneota and 

Unknown Prehistoric. The vessel is 

identified as Oneota by Carol L. Mason 

in ‘‘Site Survey of Upland and 

Endangered Areas of Winnebago and 

Green Lake Counties,’’ (Reports of 

Investigations, Number 6, University of 

Wisconsin-Oshkosh, 1995, p. A–11). 

In response to notification letters sent 

by the Oshkosh Public Museum, the HoChunk Nation has claimed the bowl. In 

support of their claim, the Ho-Chunk 

Nation stated that present-day 

archeology recognizes shell-tempered 

ceramics as Oneota in origin and 

strongly suggests that the Ho-chunk, 

Iowa, Otoe and Missouri are present-day 

descendents of the Oneota. The HoChunk Nation further claim that their 

oral tradition coincides with an Oneota 

origin and that the Poygan,WI, area is 

part of the their aboriginal homeland. 

Officials of the Oshkosh Public 

Museum have determined that, 

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

one cultural item described above is 

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 and is 

believed, by preponderance of the 

evidence, to have been removed from a 

specific burial site of a Native American 

individual. Officials of the Oshkosh 

Public Museum 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 

object and the Ho-Chunk Nation of 

Wisconsin; Iowa Tribe of Kansas and 

Nebraska; Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma; 

Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Indians, 

Oklahoma; and Winnebago Tribe of 

Nebraska. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the unassociated funerary
