description: This plan of action was prepared pursuant to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-601; 25 U.S.C. 3001-3013; 104 Stat. 3048-3058) to define a strategy for treatment of human remains inadvertently discovered during munitions removal from the Munitions Response Site (MRS) XU403a within the Parcel N Debris Area at the former Williams Air Force Base (AFB). Williams AFB was built in 1941 southeast of Phoenix in Maricopa County, Arizona, and operated as a pilot training facility until 1993 when it was closed pursuant to the Department of Defense Base Realignment and Closure Act.
