Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 56 / Thursday, March 23, 2006 / Notices
at 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the National
Park Service (NPS) announces the
availability of the Record of Decision for
the Colorado River Management Plan,
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona.
On February 17, 2006, the Director,
Intermountain Region approved the
Record of Decision for the project. As
soon as practicable, the NPS will begin
to implement the two Preferred
Alternatives contained in the Final
Environmental Impact Statement issued
on November 10, 2005. For the Lees
Ferry to Diamond Creek section of the
Colorado River, the NPS has selected
the preferred alternative, modified
Alternative H, which will allow 5.5
months mixed motor/nonmotor use and
6.5 months nonmotorized use; reduce
the maximum group size for commercial
groups; establish use patterns based on
daily, weekly and seasonal launch
limits; and increase noncommercial use
primarily in the shoulder and winter
months. This alternative will allow for
a moderate increase in estimated yearly
passenger totals and allow passenger
exchanges at Whitmore to accommodate
commercial trips launching during the
mixed-use seasons. Noncommercial
permits will be awarded through a
‘‘hybrid’’ weighted lottery system for
applicants applying for Lees Ferry to
Diamond Creek river trips after boaters
transition from the waitlist. This course
of action and 7 other alternatives were
analyzed in the Draft and Final
Environmental Impact Statements for
the Lees Ferry to Diamond Creek section
of the Colorado River. The full range of
foreseeable environmental
consequences was assessed, and
appropriate mitigating measures were
identified.
For the Lower Gorge of the Colorado
River, the NPS has selected modified
Alternative 4, which reflects an
agreement reached between Grand
Canyon National Park and the Hualapai
Tribe, achieved through extensive
consultation, on most issues relating to
the elements of use, specifically for trips
launching at or continuing past
Diamond Creek. This alternative will
allow overall HRR operations to
increase, while reducing group size,
limiting day trips in the non-peak
season, and limiting overnight trips
throughout the year. However,
agreement could not be reached after
extensive consultation and
incorporation of Hualapai tribal
concerns, on the level of pontoon boat
operations and upstream travel from
Lake Mead. This selected modified
Alternative 4, incorporates the NPS’s
preference for lower levels of pontoon
boat use in the Quartermaster area

compared to levels proposed by the
Hualapai Tribe. Pontoon operations,
under this alternative, will continue to
be allowed, with five boats operating at
one time in the Quartermaster area and
with a maximum daily capacity of 480
passengers, which could increase to 600
passengers per day based on favorable
performance reviews of concession
operations and resource monitoring
data. Upriver, motorized trip takeouts
will be allowed with a maximum of four
trips per day during the peak season and
one per day during the non-peak season;
however, no jetboat tours will be
allowed to operate. This course of action
and 4 other alternatives were analyzed
in the Draft and Final Environmental
Impact Statements for the Lower Gorge
of the Colorado River. The full range of
foreseeable environmental
consequences was assessed, and
appropriate mitigating measures were
identified.
The Record of Decision includes a
statement of the decision made,
synopses of other alternatives
considered, the basis for the decision, a
description of the environmentally
preferable alternatives, a finding on
impairment of park resources and
values, a listing of measures to
minimize environmental harm, an
overview of public involvement in the
decision-making process, and a
Statement of Findings.

with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human

remains in the control of the U.S.
Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Land Management, Alaska State Office,
Anchorage, AK, and in the physical
custody of the Museum of the Aleutians,
Unalaska, AK. The human remains were
removed from Amaknak Island, Split
Rock Island, and Unalaska Island, AK.
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. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Bureau of
Land Management and Smithsonian
Institution professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska.
During the 1950s to 1980s, human
remains representing a minimum of
three individuals were removed from
Umqan #2 and K-B–1 sites near
Unalaska on Unalaska Island in the Fox
Island group of the eastern Aleutian
Islands, AK. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
During the 1950s to 1980s, human
remains representing a minimum of
nine individuals were removed from
AMD-I, AMD-II, AMD-III, Bridge, and
AMOK-I sites near Unalaska on
Amaknak Island in the Fox Island group
of the eastern Aleutian Islands, AK. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
During the 1950s to 1980s, human
remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from Site
44647 near Unalaska on Split Rock
Island in the Fox Island group of the
eastern Aleutian Islands, AK. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
According to museum records, most
of the human remains were excavated
by Dr. Ted Bank of Western Michigan
University, Kalamazoo, MI, under
federal permits. Some additional human
remains were collected under
undocumented circumstances and were
placed in the archeological collections
of Western Michigan University or kept
by Dr. Bank. All excavations were done
on land under Bureau of Land
Management authority at the time. No
further information was found in
museum records. Between 1998 and
2001, the Museum of the Aleutians of
Unalaska, AK, received the Western
Michigan University archeological
collections from Amaknak Island, Split
Rock Island, and Unalaska Island, AK,
E:\FR\FM\23MRN1.SGM
23MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 56 / Thursday, March 23, 2006 / Notices
including human remains that had been
in the possession of the now deceased
Dr. Bank.
Unalaska Island and nearby Amaknak
and Split Rock Islands have been
inhabited for over 8,000 years by Aleut
(Unangan) people. Based on geographic
location, oral history, and archeological
evidence, the human remains from these
three islands are of Aleut (Unangan)
origin. The Aleut (Unangan) are
ancestors of the Qawalangin Tribe of
Unalaska, the current and only Indian
tribe of Unalaska, AK.
Officials of the Bureau of Land
Management have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of 13
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Bureau of Land
Management have also 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 Native American human remains
and the Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Robert E. King,
Alaska State NAGPRA Coordinator,
Bureau of Land Management, 222 West
7th Avenue, No. 13, Anchorage, AK
99513–7599, telephone (907) 271–5510,
before April 24, 2006. Repatriation of
the human remains to the Qawalangin
Tribe of Unalaska may proceed after that
date if no additional claimants come
forward.
The Bureau of Land Management is
responsible for notifying the
Ounalashka Corporation and
Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska that this
notice has been published.
Dated: March 14, 2006.
