Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 168 / Wednesday, August 30, 2006 / Notices
In 1959, human remains representing
a minimum of three individuals were
removed from the Banks site (Arkansas–
31A) in Crittendon County, AR, by Greg
Perino. Mr. Perino donated the human
remains to the Oklahoma Museum of
Natural History later that same year. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Diagnostic artifacts found at the
Cummin’s Place, Upper Nodena Place,
and Banks sites indicate that the human
remains are Native American and were
probably buried during the Parkin phase
of the Mississippian nucleation horizon
(A.D. 1350–1650). The Parkin phase is
characterized by Nodena leaf-shaped
arrow points, Madison arrow points,
pipe drills, chisels, adzes, use of basalt,
conch shell beads, mushroom shaped
beads, ear plugs, copper disks,
discoidals, catlinite pipes, Parkin
punctate and Barton incised pottery,
Mississippian Plain pottery, effigy forms
such as, head pots, compound vessels,
and occasionally red and white Nodena
ware. Although many of these types of
artifacts were found at the sites, none of
the artifacts besides the missing deer
bone are considered associated funerary
objects because they were not found in
a burial context nor is there any other
information that attests to their being
from a burial context. Many of the
Parkin phase artifact traits continued to
be practiced by people later identified
as Quapaw. European documentation
concerning the geographical range of the
Quapaw people supports their presence
in the northeastern part of Arkansas.
Present-day descendants of the Quapaw
people are members of the Quapaw
Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma.
Officials of the Sam Noble Oklahoma
Museum of Natural History have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of eight individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the Sam
Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural
History also have 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 Quapaw Tribe of Indians,
Oklahoma.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Ellen Censky,
Director, Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum
of Natural History, University of
Oklahoma, 2401 Chautauqua, Norman,
OK 73072, telephone (405) 325–4712,
before September 29, 2006. Repatriation
of the human remains to the Quapaw
Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma may

proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of
Natural History is responsible for
notifying the Quapaw Tribe of Indians,
Oklahoma that this notice has been
published.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On January 29, 2001, President George
W. Bush issued Executive Order 13198,
creating the Office for Faith-Based and
Community Initiatives in the White
House and centers for faith-based and
community initiatives (CFBCI) in the
Departments of Labor (DOL), Health and
Human Services (HHS), Housing and
Urban Development (HUD), Education
(ED), and Justice (DOJ). President Bush
charged the departmental centers with
identifying statutory, regulatory, and
bureaucratic barriers that stand in the
way of effective faith-based and
community organizations, and to
ensure, consistent with the law, that
these organizations have equal
opportunity to compete for federal
funding and other support.
In early 2002, the CFBCI and ETA
developed and issued Solicitations for
Grant Application (SGA) to engage
grassroots organizations in our
workforce system-building. These SGAs
were designed to assist faith-based and
community organizations in delivering
social services and strengthening their
existing partnerships with the local
One-Stop Career Center system, while
providing additional points of entry for
customers into that system.
These 2002 grants embodied the
Department’s principal strategy for
implementing the Executive Order:
Creating new avenues through which
qualified organizations could participate
more fully under the Workforce
Investment Act (WIA), while applying
their particular strengths and assets in
providing services to our customers.
These solicitations also were derived
from an ETA—CFBCI mutual premise
that the involvement of faith-based and
community organizations can both
complement and supplement the efforts
of local workforce investment systems
in being accessible to and serving the
training, job and career-support needs of
many of our citizens.
Many faith-based and community
organizations offer unique services and
support networks that can contribute to
our mutual system-building endeavors;
are trusted institutions within our
poorest neighborhoods; and are home to
a large number of volunteers who bring
not only the transformational power of
personal relationships to the provision
of social service, but also a sustained
allegiance to the well-being and selfsufficiency of the participants they
serve. Through their daily work and
specific programs, these organizations
E:\FR\FM\30AUN1.SGM
30AUN1
51638
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 168 / Wednesday, August 30, 2006 / Notices
strive to achieve some common
purposes shared with government—
reduction of welfare dependency,
attainment of occupational skills, and
entry and retention of all our citizens in
good-paying jobs. Faith-based and
community organizations benefit from
having equal access to federal funds.
DOL CFBCI intends to use this data to
examine the impact that receiving and
managing federal grants has on
grassroots, faith-based and community
organizations.
II. Review Focus
The Department of Labor is
particularly interested in comments
which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On June 15, 2006, the Mine
Improvement and New Emergency
Response (MINER) Act of 2006 was
enacted. In accordance with Section 2 of
the MINER Act, each underground coal
mine operator must submit an
emergency response plan (ERP) to the
appropriate MSHA District Manager.
The ERP provides for the evacuation of
all individuals endangered by an
emergency and also for the maintenance
of individuals trapped underground in
the event that miners are unable to
evacuate the mine. MSHA is soliciting
comments that address the availability
of readily accessible breathable air that
would be sufficient to maintain miners
trapped underground over a sustained
period of time. MSHA will consider
these comments in developing guidance
to assist in assuring that the ERPs
provide safe and reliable post-accident
breathable air supplies for trapped
miners.
DATES: Comments must be received by
MSHA on or before October 16, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Comments must be clearly
identified with ‘‘PPL P06–V–9—

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
MINER Act (Pub. L. 109–236) became
effective on June 15, 2006. Section 2 of
the MINER Act amends Section 316 of
the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act
of 1977 (Mine Act) to require that every
underground coal mine operator have
an emergency response plan which is to
be approved by MSHA. The Act further
requires MSHA, in determining whether
to approve a particular plan, to consider
comments from miners and miners’
representatives. The ERP must provide
for the evacuation of miners endangered
by an emergency and for the
maintenance of miners trapped
underground in the event that they are
unable to evacuate the mine. The
MINER Act requires that the ERP
provide for ‘‘emergency supplies of
breathable air for individuals trapped
underground sufficient to maintain such
individuals for a sustained period of
time.’’
On June 27, 2006, MSHA solicited
comments related to the implementation
of emergency response plans for
underground coal mines. Following
review of these comments, MSHA
issued Program Policy Letter (PPL)
Number P06–V–8 on July 21, 2006,
which established MSHA policy and
guidance for mine operators to facilitate
the development of their ERPs.
In the PPL, MSHA stated that the ERP
should address the amount of postaccident breathable air necessary to
maintain individuals for a sustained
period of time. The Agency suggested
oxygen, compressed air, or other
alternatives to meet the breathable air
requirement. Further, MSHA stated that
the Agency will need to review
thoroughly and evaluate alternatives to
ensure that all safety and health risks
are taken into consideration. In the PPL,
