assurances that, should any of the 

covered species be listed, no further 

commitments or restrictions than those 

they committed to under the CCAA 

would be imposed, as long as the CCAA 

is properly implemented. Furthermore, 

if any of the covered species are listed, 

the permit would provide TNC and 

individuals TNC enrolls in the CCAA 

with incidental take authorization. 

Participants would receive take 

authorization through their certificates 

of inclusion under the permit. The 

permit would become effective on the 

effective date of a listing of the covered 

species as endangered or threatened and 

would continue through the end of the 

CCAA term. 

The Secretary of the Interior has 

delegated to the Service the authority to 

approve or deny a section 10(a)(1)(A) 

permit in accordance with the ESA. To 

act on TNC’s permit application, we 

must determine that the CCAA meets 

the issuance criteria specified in the 

ESA and at 50 CFR 17.22 and 17.32, as 

well as at 50 CFR part 13. These criteria 

include a finding that the proposed 

CCAA complies with the requirements 

of our CCAA Policy (81 FR 951646; 

December 27, 2016). 

National Environmental Policy Act 

Compliance 

The issuance of a section 10(a)(1)(A) 

permit is a Federal action subject to 

NEPA compliance, including the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations for implementing the 

procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR 

1500–1508). The draft CCAA and 

application for the enhancement of 

survival permit are not eligible for 

categorical exclusion under NEPA. We 

have prepared a draft EA to analyze the 

direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts 

of the CCAA on the quality of the 

human environment and other natural 

resources. In compliance with NEPA, 

we analyzed the impacts of 

implementing the CCAA, issuance of 

the permit, and a reasonable range of 

alternatives in the draft EA. Based on 

these analyses and any new information 

resulting from public comment on the 

proposed action, we will determine if 

issuance of the permit would cause any 

significant impacts to the human 

environment. After reviewing public 

comments, we will evaluate whether the 

proposed action and alternatives in the 

draft EA are adequate to support a 

finding of no significant impact under 

NEPA. We now make the draft EA 

available for public inspection online or 

in person at the Service offices listed in 

ADDRESSES. 

Public Comments 

You may submit your comments and 

materials by one of the methods listed 

in ADDRESSES. We request data, 

information, opinions, or suggestions 

from the public, other concerned 

governmental agencies, the scientific 

community, Tribes, industry, or any 

other interested party on our proposed 

permit action. We particularly seek 

comments on the following: (1) 

Biological information and relevant data 

concerning the covered species; (2) 

current or planned activities in the 

subject area and their possible impacts 

on the covered species; (3) identification 

of any other environmental issues that 

should be considered with regard to the 

proposed permit action; and (4) 

information regarding the adequacy of 

the draft CCAA pursuant to the 

requirements for permits at 50 CFR parts 

13 and 17. 

Public Availability of Comments 

All comments and materials we 

receive become part of the public record 

associated with this action. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

email address, or other personally 

identifiable information (PII) in your 

comments, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

PII—may be made publicly available at 

any time. While you can ask us in your 

comment to withhold your PII from 

public review, we cannot guarantee that 

we will be able to do so. Comments and 

materials we receive, as well as 

supporting documentation we use in 

preparing the EA, will be available for 

public inspection by appointment, 

during normal business hours, at our 

Montana Field Office (see ADDRESSES). 

Next Steps 

After completion of the EA based on 

consideration of public comments, we 

will determine whether adoption of the 

proposed CCAA warrants a finding of 

no significant impact or whether an 

environmental impact statement should 

be prepared. We will evaluate the 

proposed CCAA as well as any 

comments we receive, to determine 

whether implementation of the 

proposed CCAA would meet the 

requirements for issuance of a permit 

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

We will also evaluate whether the 

proposed permit action would comply 

with section 7 of the ESA by conducting 

an intra-Service section 7 consultation. 

We will consider the results of this 

consultation, in combination with the 

above findings, in our final analysis to 

determine whether or not to issue a 

permit to TNC. We will not make our 

final decision until after the end of the 

30-day public comment period, and we 

will fully consider all comments we 

receive during the public comment 

period. 

Authority: We provide this notice in 

accordance with the requirements of section 

10 of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and 

NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and their 

implementing regulations (50 CFR 17.22, 40 

CFR 1506.6, and 43 CFR Part 46, 

respectively).

History and Description of the Remains 

In 1970, human remains representing, 

at minimum, 20 individuals were 

removed from the Bugai site (20SA215) 

in Saginaw County, MI. Contract 

workers encountered human remains 

while excavating sand from private 

property near Interstate-75 in Bridgeport 

Township. After workers completed 

removing the sand, amateur 

archeologists Leo Purple and Arthur 

Graves conducted a salvage excavation 

at the site from late-winter through the 

fall of 1970. Purple had surface 

collected the site for several years prior 

to the excavation. Primary and 

secondary burials were noted at the site. 

The majority of the burials excavated 

were bundle burials, along with 

multiple objects. Purple and Graves 

divided the site collections, donating 

some to the UMMAA in 1976, and some 

to the Chippewa Nature Center (CNC) in 

Midland, MI, in 1974. In 2006, the CNC 

donated human remains and objects 

from the Bugai site to the UMMAA. The 

human remains collected from the site 

include 1 adult, over 35 years old, 

possibly male; 1 adult, age 

indeterminate, possibly female; 1 child, 

7.5–12.5 years old; 1 adult, age and sex 

indeterminate; 1 adult, age and sex 

indeterminate; 1 child, 4–8 years old; 1 

adult, over 30 years old, possibly male; 

1 adolescent/young adult, 16–20 years 

old, possibly female; 1 adult, over 35 

years old, male; 1 child, 2–4 years old; 

1 adult, 23–44 years old, possibly male; 

1 adult, over 30 years old, male; 1 adult, 

over 35–45 years old, female; 1 adult, 

over 40 years old, possibly female; 1 

child, 3–5 years old; 1 adult, 35–45 

years old, possibly female; 1 adult, age 

indeterminate, possibly male; 1 

juvenile, age indeterminate; 1 child, 5– 

9 years old; and 1 child, 2–4 years old. 

One lot of DNA extractions, taken from 

human remains in this collection 

between 1996 and 2006, will also be 

included in this transfer. The human 

remains are believed to date to the Early 

Late Woodland Period (A.D. 500–1100) 

based on diagnostic artifacts associated 

with the burials and mortuary 

treatment. No known individuals were 

identified. The 106 associated funerary

Determinations Made by the University 

of Michigan 

Officials of the University of Michigan 

have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

are Native American based on cranial 

morphology, dental traits, accession 

documentation, and archeological 

context. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of 20 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the 106 objects described in this notice 

are 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. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a 

relationship of shared group identity 

cannot be reasonably traced between the 

Native American human remains and 

associated funerary objects and any 

present-day Indian Tribe. 

• According to final judgments of the 

Indian Claims Commission or the Court 

of Federal Claims, the land from which 

the Native American human remains 

and associated funerary objects were 

removed is the aboriginal land of the 

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of 

Michigan. 

• Treaties, Acts of Congress, or 

Executive Orders, indicate that the land 

from which the Native American human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed is the aboriginal land of 

The Consulted and Invited Tribes. 

• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the 

disposition of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects may be to 

The Consulted and Invited Tribes. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

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 and associated funerary 

objects should submit a written request
