Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 221 / Monday, November 17, 2014 / Notices 68473 

funerary objects under the control of the 

U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau 

of Indian Affairs, Washington, DC, and 

in the physical custody of the Arizona 

State Museum, University of Arizona, 

Tucson, AZ (ASM). The human remains 

and associated funerary objects were 

removed from a location within the 

boundaries of the Fort Apache Indian 

Reservation, Navajo County, AZ. 

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. 

This notice corrects the minimum 

number of individuals and number of 

associated funerary objects published in 

a Notice of Inventory Completion in the 

Federal Register (77 FR 11578–11580, 

February 27, 2012). Re-inventory of the 

human remains resulted in a reduction 

in the minimum number of individuals 

represented because many fragmentary 

elements could be reassociated with 

individuals from the more intact burials. 

The number of associated funerary 

objects increased due a search through 

uncatalogued object collections.

February 27, 2012), paragraph 7 is
