design characteristics, conclusions, and 

the executive summary. The AAR is the 

output of the exercise process. 

Stakeholders use the report to identify 

strengths or areas in which they can 

assign resources to mitigate risk and 

enhance the security posture within 

their organization. 

Based on industry population 

estimates and growth rates, and interest 

generated amongst the transportation 

modes during the years following EXIS’ 

release to the public, TSA estimates that 

there will be approximately 7,885 

primary and secondary access users in 

Year 1, 9,447 users in Year 2, and 

11,320 users in Year 3, for an average 

annual respondents estimate of 9,551. 

TSA estimates a proportion of primary 

access users and secondary users will 

spend approximately 3.5 hours per EXIS 

user inputting the information described 

above. TSA estimates secondary users 

will also spend approximately 0.25 

hours completing a survey. Given this 

information, the total annual hourly 

burden for EXIS’s collection of 

information is 4,820 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite 

the public to comment on the following 

applications for a permit to conduct 

activities intended to recover and 

enhance the survival of endangered 

species. With some exceptions, the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.; ESA), 

prohibits certain activities that may 

impact endangered species, unless a 

Federal permit allows such activity. The 

ESA also requires that we invite public 

comment before issuing these permits. 

Background 

The ESA prohibits certain activities 

with endangered and threatened species 

unless authorized by a Federal permit. 

The ESA and our implementing 

regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

provide for the issuance of such permits 

and require that we invite public 

comment before issuing permits for 

activities involving endangered species. 

A recovery permit issued by us under 

section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA 

authorizes the permittee to conduct 

activities with endangered or threatened 

species for scientific purposes that 

promote recovery or for enhancement of 

propagation or survival of the species. 

Our regulations implementing section 

10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found 

at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife 

species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened 

wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for 

endangered plant species, and 50 CFR 

17.72 for threatened plant species. 

In accordance with section 10(c) of 

the ESA; Executive Order 13576, 

‘‘Delivering an Efficient, Effective, and 

Accountable Government’’; and the 

President’s Memorandum for the Heads 

of Executive Departments and Agencies 

of January 21, 2009, ‘‘Transparency and 

Open Government’’ (74 FR 4685; 

January 26, 2009), all of which call on 

Federal agencies to promote openness 

and transparency in Government by 

disclosing information to the public, we 

invite public comment on these permit 

applications before final action is taken. 

Applications Available for Review and 

Comment 

We invite local, State, Tribal, and 

Federal agencies and the public to

Notice of Inventory Completion: 

Arkansas State Highway and 

Transportation Department, Little 

Rock, AR 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Arkansas State Highway 

and Transportation Department has 

completed an inventory of human 

remains, in consultation with the 

appropriate Indian tribes or Native 

Hawaiian organizations, and has 

determined that there is no cultural 

affiliation between the human remains 

and any present-day Indian tribes or 

Native Hawaiian organizations. 

Representatives of any Indian tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization not 

identified in this notice that wish to 

request transfer of control of these 

human remains should submit a written 

request to the Arkansas State Highway 

and Transportation Department. If no 

additional requestors come forward, 

transfer of control of the human remains 

to the Indian tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations stated in this notice may 

proceed. 

DATES: Representatives of any Indian 

tribe or Native Hawaiian organization 

not identified in this notice that wish to 

request transfer of control of these 

human remains should submit a written 

request with information in support of 

the request to the Arkansas State 

Highway and Transportation 

Department at the address in this notice 

by September 21, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Kristina Boykin, Arkansas 

State Highway and Transportation 

Department, P.O. Box 2261, Little Rock, 

AR 72203, telephone (501) 569–2079, 

email Kristina.Boykin@ahtd.AR.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3003, of the completion of an inventory 

of human remains under the control of 

the Arkansas State Highway and 

Transportation Department. The human 

remains were removed from a salvage 

operation in Randolph County, AR. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d). 

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. The National Park Service is 

not responsible for the determinations 

in this notice. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1888, human remains representing, 

at minimum, two individuals were 

recovered from site 3RA387 in 

Randolph County, AR. The human 

remains were discovered during a 

salvage operation of site 3RA387 as part 

of the re-routing of Highway 304. 

Excavations were undertaken by the 

Arkansas State Highway and 

Transportation Department. Currently, 

the remains are being stored at the 

Arkansas Archeological Survey’s 

curation facility. The gender and age of 

the human remains were undetermined. 

No known individuals were identified. 

No associated funerary objects are 

present. No diagnostic artifacts were 

found at site 3RA387 to indicate when 

these human remains were buried. The 

cultural and temporal identity of these 

human remains is difficult to discern 

and they cannot be clearly culturally 

affiliated with an Indian tribe. 

Determinations Made by the Arkansas 

State Highway and Transportation 

Department 

Officials of the Arkansas State 

Highway and Transportation 

Department have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of two 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry.
