ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Assessment (EA) and
Public Scoping Meeting on the Hobble
Creek Habitat Restoration, Utah County,
Utah, as part of the June Sucker
Recovery Implementation Program.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended, the
Council on Environmental Quality
Regulations at 40 CFR 1501.7, and
authorities under the Endangered
Species Act (15 U.S.C. 1536, et seq.), the
Department is initiating an
environmental impact analysis, with
public involvement, for the Hobble
Creek Habitat Restoration Project. The
plan would relocate a portion of Hobble
Creek onto state-owned land, restore
more natural stream sinuosity, and
improve instream habitat conditions to
benefit the June sucker (Chasmistes
liorus), an endangered fish.
The June sucker exists naturally only
in Utah Lake and spawns only in the
Provo River, a Utah Lake tributary.
Hobble Creek, also a tributary to Utah
Lake, is believed to be an historic
spawning stream for the June sucker
that has been dredged, straightened and
otherwise degraded in a manner that
renders it no longer suitable for June
sucker spawning. Restoration of at least

one additional Utah Lake tributary as
spawning habitat for the June sucker is
a recovery action in the approved
Recovery Plan for the species. The
Department is acting as Lead Agency for
NEPA compliance in its capacity as a
participating partner in the June Sucker
Recovery Implementation Program.
DATES: A public scoping meeting is
scheduled in the local geographic area
of the project to receive input from
affected parties and the general public
regarding anticipated environmental
issues associated with the project. The
scoping meeting will be held
Wednesday, December 5, 2007, from 5
p.m. to 7 p.m. at: Springville Junior
High School, School Cafeteria, 165
South 700 East, Springville, Utah 84663.
Public notice of this meeting will also
be announced in local media. The
details for submitting scoping comments
will also be announced.

˜
Acknowledgment of the Juaneno Band
of Mission Indians, Acjachemen
(Petitioner #84A)
Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Proposed Finding.
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to 25 CFR 83.10(h),
the Department of the Interior
(Department) gives notice that the
Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs
(AS–IA) proposes to determine that the
˜
Juaneno Band of Mission Indians,

A La Matanza Street, San Juan

of Federal Regulations (25 CFR part 83),
specifically criteria 83.7(a), 83.7(b),

not meet the requirements for a
government-to-government relationship
with the United States.
DATES: Comments on this proposed
finding (PF) are due on or before June
2, 2008. Publication of this notice of the
PF in the Federal Register initiates a
180-day comment period during which

informed parties may submit arguments
and evidence to support or rebut the
evidence relied upon in the PF.
Interested or informed parties must
provide a copy of their comments to the
petitioner. The regulations, 25 CFR
83.10(k), provide petitioners a minimum
of 60 days to respond to any
submissions on the PFs received from
interested and informed parties during
the comment period.
ADDRESSES: Comments and requests for

evidence should be addressed to the
Office of the Assistant Secretary—
Indian Affairs, Attention: Office of
Federal Acknowledgment, 1951
Constitution Avenue, NW., Mail Stop
34B–SIB, Washington, DC 20240.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: R.
Lee Fleming, Director, Office of Federal
Acknowledgment, (202) 513–7650.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department publishes this notice in the
exercise of authority that the Secretary
of the Interior delegated to the AS–IA by
209 DM 8. The JBA petitioner is located
in the town of San Juan Capistrano,
Orange County, California,
approximately 40 miles south of Los
Angeles and 20 miles south of the town
of Santa Ana.
˜
A group known as the Juaneno Band
of Mission Indians (JBM) submitted a
letter of intent to petition for Federal
Acknowledgment as an Indian tribe to
the AS–IA. The Department received the
letter of intent on August 17, 1982. The
Department designated the JBM as
Petitioner #84. The JBM submitted its
first documentation that included a
narrative entitled ‘‘Petition for Federal
˜
Recognition of the Juaneno Band of
Mission Indians in Compliance with
CFR Part 83,’’ as well as photocopies of
documents discussed in the JBM
petitioner’s narrative. The Department
received this material on February 2,
1988. The group claimed to descend
from the historical Indian tribe of San
Juan Capistrano (SJC) Mission, formed
from residents of a pre-contact network
of politically autonomous villages prior
to Spanish colonization who spoke a
Uto-Aztecan language.
The Department conducted an initial
technical assistance (TA) review of the
petition and sent an obvious deficiency
(OD) letter dated January 25, 1990, to
the JBM. The JBM responded to the first
OD letter on September 24, 1993, when
it submitted additional materials and
requested to be placed on the ‘‘Ready,
Waiting for Active Consideration’’
(‘‘Ready’’) list. The Department placed
JBM on the ‘‘Ready’’ list on September
24, 1993.

An election in 1993 resulted in a
dispute within the JBM. A group of
members led by Sonia Johnston
challenged the results of the election
and the leadership of the chairman
David Belardes. On December 17, 1994,
the Johnston-led group held an election
and elected Sonia Johnston chairperson.
Belardes and Johnston simultaneously
claimed to be the chairperson of the
JBM. The Department removed the JBM
from the ‘‘Ready’’ list on May 19, 1995,
pending revision of the JBM
membership list, because of the
petitioner’s stated intent to substantially
revise its membership roll, making it not
ready for evaluation. Following the
submission of the revised membership
list, the JBM, in a letter signed by Davis
Belardes, requested the Department to
place it on the ‘‘Ready for Active
Consideration’’ list, and the Department
determined that the Belardes-led group
was ready for evaluation on February
12, 1996.
On February 17, 1996, another group
submitted a letter of intent to petition,
signed by Sonia Johnston. Both groups
claimed to be the legitimate successor of
the JBM, both claimed the JBM petition
narrative and research materials, and
both used similar names (the Johnston˜
led group used the name ‘‘The Juaneno
Band of Mission Indians,’’ while the
˜
Belardes-led group used ‘‘The Juaneno
Band of Mission Indians, Acjachemen
Nation’’). The Department designated
the Belardes-led group Petitioner #84A
(JBA), and the Johnston-led group
Petitioner #84B (JBB). The Department
placed the JBB petitioner on the
‘‘Ready’’ list on May 23, 1996.
Another election within the JBA on
April 19, 1997, resulted in the election
of Jean Frietze as chairperson. David
Belardes, however, disputed the
election results. Both Jean Frietze and
David Belardes claimed to be the
legitimate leader of the JBA. On
September 22, 1997, David Belardes
requested ‘‘interested party’’ status if
Jean Frietze were to form a ‘‘new’’
group. At the same time, he requested
‘‘interested party’’ status to the JBB
petitioner. Neither the Belardes-led
group nor the Frietz-led group
submitted a separate letter of intent to
petition. The Department determined
that the disagreement over leadership
was an internal issue. The Department
takes no part in the internal disputes of
petitioning groups.
In 1998, 1999, and 2000, the JBA
submitted additional documents
including ones related to the disputed
April 19, 1997, election and subsequent
formation of a separate Belardes-led
group. The JBA petitioner under the
new leadership of Anthony Rivera, Jr.,
