ACTION: Notice of Availability.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 and the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976, the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) has prepared
a Proposed Resource Management Plan/
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(PRMP/FEIS) for Alabama and
Mississippi.
SUMMARY:
The BLM planning regulations
(43 CFR 1610.5–2) state that any person
who meets the conditions as described
in the regulations may protest the BLM’s
Proposed RMP. A person who meets the
conditions and files a protest must file
the protest within 30 days of the date
that the Environmental Protection
Agency publishes its notice in the
Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the Alabama and
Mississippi PRMP/FEIS have been sent
to affected Federal, State, and local
government agencies and to interested
parties. Copies of the Proposed RMP/
FEIS are available for public inspection
at the BLM–ES Jackson Field Office, 411
Briarwood Drive, Suite 404, Jackson,
Mississippi 39206. Interested persons
may also review the Proposed RMP/
FEIS on the Internet at https://
www.es.blm.gov/AL_MS_RMP. All
protests must be in writing and must be
mailed to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
PRMP/FEIS covers all the public land
resources administered by the BLM in
the States of Alabama and Mississippi.
The issues addressed in the PRMP/FEIS
are mineral leasing and ownership
adjustment of the scattered surface
tracts. Within the two States combined,
the BLM administers approximately 333
acres of public land surface and mineral
estate and 621,090 acres of Federal
minerals where the surface estate is in
non-Federal ownership. The BLM also
has responsibility for 2,081,880 acres of
mineral estate where the surface is
managed by other Federal agencies,
including 1,871,550 acres of National
Forest lands. On these lands, leasing of
Federal minerals is subject to
management as directed by the surface
managing agency, and the decisions of
this RMP will pertain only to the BLM’s
role in administering the minerals. The
RMP will not make decisions on oil and
gas leasing of National Forest acreage,
because by regulation the U.S. Forest
Service (USFS) is responsible for land
use planning decisions on oil and gas
leasing. Within the two States, there are
also 9,788 acres of lands with uncertain
title. These are public domain lands
according to General Land Office
records, but may have private claims of
ownership. The RMP will not make
management decisions on these lands
per se; however, these lands will be
available for disposal to qualified
applicants under the Color-of-Title Act.
Public participation was solicited
during the formation of the Draft RMP/
EIS through public meetings in Gulf
Shore, AL; Birmingham, AL; and
Jackson, MS.
Comments on the Draft RMP/EIS
received from the public and internal
BLM review were incorporated into the
proposed plan. Public comments
resulted in the addition of clarifying
text, but did not significantly change
proposed land use decisions.
Instructions for filing a protest with
the Director of the BLM regarding the
PRMP/FEIS may be found in the Dear
Reader Letter of the Alabama and
Mississippi PRMP/FEIS and at 43 CFR
1610.5. E-mail and faxed protests will
not be accepted as valid protests unless
the protesting party also provides the
original letter by either regular or
overnight mail postmarked by the close
of the protest period. Under these
conditions, the BLM will consider the email or faxed protest as an advance copy
and it will receive full consideration. If
you wish to provide the BLM with such
advance notification, please direct faxed

identifying information in your protest,
you should be aware that your entire
protest—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your protest to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

The Price
RMP planning area is located in central
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Utah. The BLM administers
approximately 2.5 million acres of
surface estate and 2.8 million acres of
Federal mineral estate within the
planning area.
The Price RMP will provide future
broad-scale management direction for
land use allocations and allowable uses
on public lands within the planning
area. Implementation of the decisions of
the PRMP/FEIS would apply only to
BLM-administered public lands and
Federal mineral estate. In the Draft
RMP/EIS (DRMP/DEIS), which was
released for public review and comment
in July 2004, five alternatives were
analyzed, including a No Action
alternative. These alternatives were
developed through issue identification
during the scoping process. Public
involvement and collaboration began
with scoping to identify issues,
concerns, and opportunities to be
resolved in the planning process. Input
on planning issues was gathered from
the public during a comment period and
associated open houses. The major
issues addressed in the PRMP/DEIS
include: oil and gas leasing and
development; management of recreation
opportunities in Special Recreation
Management Areas (SRMAs),
designation of routes for off-highway
vehicle (OHV) travel, livestock grazing,
management of Areas of Critical
Environmental Concern (ACECs), and
recommendations for Wild and Scenic
Rivers (WSR) designations. In
September 2007 a Supplemental DEIS
was released for public review and
comment which considered an
additional alternative emphasizing the
protection of non-WSA lands with
wilderness characteristics. The PRMP/
FEIS would designate five new ACECs,
and the continuation of eight existing
ACECs, totaling 206,965 acres. Resource
use limitations that apply to the
proposed ACECs include a range of
prescriptions as described in Table 1
below.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Intent to Repatriate a Cultural
Item: Denver Museum of Nature &
Science, Denver, CO
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice.
AGENCY:
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent
to repatriate a cultural item in the
possession of the Denver Museum of
Nature & Science, Denver, CO, which
meets the definitions of ‘‘sacred object’’
and ‘‘object of cultural patrimony’’
under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
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 cultural
item. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
The cultural item is a ‘‘piki stone’’
from the Pueblo of Cochiti, New Mexico
(A661.1). The piki stone is a sandstone
slab, measuring approximately 26 x 19
x 2 inches, with the top surface
blackened from baking. On November
10, 1972, the museum purchased the
stone for $150 from Mr. Juan Melchoir
of Cochiti Pueblo. Museum accession
notes indicate that the stone dates to
about 1930 and ‘‘was used by his family
for several generations for baking piki
bread.’’ The stone has long been a part
of the museum’s ‘‘Hopi House’’ exhibit
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:32 Aug 28, 2008
Jkt 214001
in the Crane American Indian Cultures
Hall.
During a consultation in the early
1990s, a group of council
representatives from the Pueblo of
Cochiti, New Mexico visited the
museum and identified the stone as
coming from the pueblo and determined
that it was a sacred object and object of
cultural patrimony; however, a formal
claim was not officially submitted until
2006. The claim states that the Pueblo
of Cochiti believes the stone ‘‘was stored
by Mr. Melchoir during remodeling
phases of a traditional cooking building
and sold to the individual who’’ sold it
to the museum and could not have been
alienated by Mr. Melchoir, and thus is
an object of cultural patrimony. The
formal claim also states that the stone
‘‘was used, and if repatriated would
continue to be used, in traditional
cooking ceremonies, conducted
throughout the year by appointed
Cochiti women, during times of
traditional society events. These events
involve many culturally sensitive
ceremonies in which cooking, and piki
bread, are of major significance to
conduct the ceremony.’’ Thus, the claim
asserts that the stone is also a sacred
object.
‘‘Piki’’ is a borrowed Hopi term to
describe the wafer bread, while some
use the Tewa term guayave, or a
variation thereof; and at Cochiti it is
ma’tzin. At Cochiti, the ‘‘piki stone’’
itself is also referred to as a comal or
yo’asha. The anthropology and
documentary literature has little
information about yo’asha at the Pueblo
of Cochiti. The few references that could
be found would suggest that such stones
are ‘‘privately owned real property’’
which can be owned, exchanged,
traded, purchased, and inherited.
Although the tribe concurs that some
stones are privately held, during
consultation, the Pueblo of Cochiti
offered compelling evidence that a few
special ones are communally owned
and are stored in communal piki
houses. They are used by community
members for specific ceremonies, thus
making them objects of cultural
patrimony and sacred objects. Because
museum documentation states that the
stone in this notice was sold by Mr.
Melchoir, the Pueblo knows its history,
and that it was used by the entire
community for religious events. Mr.
Melchoir was responsible for the piki
house in which the stone was placed,
but the tribe claims that the people
knew it was a house for everyone. Each
year, specific leaders are appointed to
do things on behalf of the entire
community. According to tribal
consultation, currently there is one
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
50985
communal piki house with one stone,
an example of a shared place for making
ma’tzin for ceremonies. The stone in the
museum’s possession came from a
house of this type, and if returned, will
go back into this particular house.
Anthropology and documentary
literature does confirm that piki bread is
used by many pueblos during religious
ceremonies. For the people of Cochiti,
ma’tzin was a traditional everyday
foodstuff, but it was also eaten on
religious feast days and for celebrations.
The Pueblo of Cochiti concurs that
ma’tzin was an everyday food item, but
also emphasizes that it could have deep
religious meanings at particular times
and events. The Publeo of Chociti
NAGPRA representative, Mr. Lee Suina,
explained, ‘‘You can go to a restaurant
and have wine and bread, but when you
go to church and eat wine and bread, it
has more meaning. Since we know the
piki was for this specific reason, then
it’s special. It’s not an everyday form of
bread, in this case.’’ Mr. Suina
explained that prayers were likely
offered when the stone was quarried,
and prayers were offered when the stone
was used to make ma’tzin for numerous
ceremonies.
Officials of the Denver Museum of
Nature & Science have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), the
cultural item is a specific ceremonial
object needed by traditional Native
American religious leaders for the
practice of traditional Native American
religions by their present-day adherents.
Officials of the Denver Museum of
Nature & Science have also determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(D),
the cultural item has ongoing historical,
traditional, or cultural importance
central to the Native American group or
culture itself, rather than property
owned by an individual. Lastly, officials
of the Denver Museum of Nature &
Science have determined that, pursuant
to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a
relationship of shared group identity
which can be reasonably traced between
the sacred object/object of cultural
patrimony and the Pueblo of Cochiti,
New Mexico.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the sacred object/object
of cultural patrimony should contact Dr.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Price RMP planning area is located in
central Utah. The BLM administers approximately 2.5 million acres of
surface estate and 2.8 million acres of Federal mineral estate within
the planning area.
The Price RMP will provide future broad-scale management direction
for land use allocations and allowable uses on public lands within the
planning area. Implementation of the decisions of the PRMP/FEIS would
apply only to BLM-administered public lands and Federal mineral estate.
In the Draft RMP/EIS (DRMP/DEIS), which was released for public review
and comment in July 2004, five alternatives were analyzed, including a
No Action alternative. These alternatives were developed through issue
identification during the scoping process. Public involvement and
collaboration began with scoping to identify issues, concerns, and
opportunities to be resolved in the planning process. Input on planning
issues was gathered from the public during a comment period and
associated open houses. The major issues addressed in the PRMP/DEIS
include: oil and gas leasing and development; management of recreation
opportunities in Special Recreation Management Areas (SRMAs),
designation of routes for off-highway vehicle (OHV) travel, livestock
grazing, management of Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs),
and recommendations for Wild and Scenic Rivers (WSR) designations. In
September 2007 a Supplemental DEIS was released for public review and
comment which considered an additional alternative emphasizing the
protection of non-WSA lands with wilderness characteristics. The PRMP/
FEIS would designate five new ACECs, and the continuation of eight
existing ACECs, totaling 206,965 acres. Resource use limitations that
apply to the proposed ACECs include a range of prescriptions as
described in Table 1 below.

Comments on the Price Field Office DRMP/DEIS received from the
public and internal BLM review were considered and incorporated as
appropriate into the PRMP/FEIS. Public comments resulted in the
addition of clarifying text, but did not significantly change proposed
land use plan decisions.
Instructions for filing a protest with the Director of the BLM
regarding the PRMP/FEIS may be found in the Dear Reader Letter of the
PRMP/FEIS and at 43 CFR 1610.5-2. E-mail and faxed protests will not be
accepted as valid protests unless the protesting party also provides
the original letter by either regular or overnight mail postmarked by
the close of the protest period.
Under these conditions, the BLM will consider the e-mail or faxed
protest as an advance copy and it will receive full consideration. If
you wish to provide the BLM with such advance notification, please
direct faxed protests to the attention of the BLM protest coordinator
at 202-452-5112, and e-mails to Brenda_Hudgens-Williams@blm.gov.
All protests, including the follow-up letter (if e-mailing or
faxing) must be in writing and mailed to the appropriate
[[Page 50985]]
address, as set forth in the ADDRESSES section above.
Before including your phone number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your protest, you should be aware
that your entire protest--including your personal identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask us in your protest to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6, 43 CFR 1610.2, 43 CFR 1610.5-1.
Dated: June 5, 2008.
Selma Sierra,
Utah State Director.
