(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the control of the U.S.
Department of Energy, Richland
Operations Office, Richland, WA, and in
the physical custody of the Phoebe A.
Hearst Museum of Anthropology (Hearst
Museum), University of California,
Berkeley, Berkeley, CA. The human
remains were removed from Benton
County, WA.
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 Hearst Museum
professional staff on behalf of the
Department of Energy and in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington; Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, Oregon; Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho;
and Wanapum Band, a non-Federally
recognized Indian group.
In 1947, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
collected from site 45BN157, Jaeger’s
Island, located on the U.S. Department
of Energy’s Hanford Site near the south
bank of the Columbia River
approximately one mile west of Vernita
Bridge, Benton County, WA, by Francis
Riddell. The human remains consist of
a patella and a shaft fragment
representing a minimum of one
individual adult, sex unknown (catalog
2–21580). No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The human remains were determined
to be Native American based on the
geographic location. Ethnographic
documentation indicates that the
present-day location of the Hanford Site,
Benton County WA, is located within an
overlapping aboriginal territory of the
descendants of the Yakama, Walla
Walla, and Wanapum groups, which are
represented today by the Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon;
and the Wanapum Band, a nonFederally recognized Indian group. The
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation, Washington, and Nez Perce
Tribe, Idaho are also known to have
used the area routinely.

SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
Reclamation collects Reclamationwide recreation and concession
information (1) in support of existing
public laws including the Land and
Water Conservation Fund Act (Pub. L.
88–578), the Federal Water Project
Recreation Act (Pub. L. 89–72), and the
Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement
Act (Pub. L. 108–477); and (2) to fulfill
reports to the President and the
Congress. This collection of information
allows Reclamation to (1) Meet the
requirements of the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA);
(2) fulfill congressional and financial
reporting requirements; and (3) support
specific information required by Federal
legislation and the Department of the
Interior’s GPRA-based strategic plan.
Collected information will permit
relevant program assessments of
resources managed by Reclamation, its
recreation managing partners, and/or
concessionaires for the purpose of
implementing Reclamation’s mission to
manage, develop, and protect water and
related resources in an environmentally
and economically sound manner in the
interest of the American people.
Specifically, the collected information
provides Reclamation with the ability to
(1) Evaluate program and management
effectiveness pertaining to existing
recreation and concessionaire resources
and facilities; (2) assist in prioritizing
Reclamation funding; and (3) validate
effective public use of managed
recreation resources located on
Reclamation project lands in the 17
Western States.

questions that specifically address the

Reclamation. Note that some of the
questions asked of the concessionaires
in Part II, Form 7–2535 were deleted
because some of the information
originally being collected from the
concessionaires was redundant to the
information already being collected
from Reclamation’s non-Federal
partners in Part I, Form 7–2534. In
addition, the title to Part I, Form 7–2535
was changed from Managing Partners to
Non-Federal Managing Partners to more
accurately reflect that Reclamation is
only collecting information from our
non-Federal partners and not our
existing Federal partners.

Notice of Inventory Completion: U.S. Department of Energy,
Richland Operations Office, Richland, WA and Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of
Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice is here given in accordance 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 Energy, Richland Operations Office, Richland, WA, and in
the physical custody of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology
(Hearst Museum), University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA. The
human remains were removed from Benton County, WA.
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 Hearst
Museum professional staff on behalf of the Department of Energy and in
consultation with representatives of the Confederated Tribes of the
Colville Reservation, Washington; Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation, Oregon; Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama
Nation, Washington; Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho; and Wanapum Band, a non-
Federally recognized Indian group.
In 1947, human remains representing a minimum of one individual
were collected from site 45BN157, Jaeger's Island, located on the U.S.
Department of Energy's Hanford Site near the south bank of the Columbia
River approximately one mile west of Vernita Bridge, Benton County, WA,
by Francis Riddell. The human remains consist of a patella and a shaft
fragment representing a minimum of one individual adult, sex unknown
(catalog 2-21580). No known individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
The human remains were determined to be Native American based on
the geographic location. Ethnographic documentation indicates that the
present-day location of the Hanford Site, Benton County WA, is located
within an overlapping aboriginal territory of the descendants of the
Yakama, Walla Walla, and Wanapum groups, which are represented today by

Wanapum Band, a non-Federally recognized Indian group. The Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Washington, and Nez Perce Tribe,
Idaho are also known to have used the area routinely.
Officials of the Department of Energy and the Hearst Museum have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains
described above represent the physical remains of one individual of
Native American ancestry. Officials of the Department of Energy and the
Hearst Museum 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
Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Washington;
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon;
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Washington; and Nez
Perce Tribe, Idaho. Furthermore, officials of the Department of Energy
and the Hearst Museum have determined that there is a cultural
relationship between the human remains and the Wanapum Band, a non-
Federally recognized Indian group.
Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to
be culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact
Annabelle Rodriguez, U.S. Department of Energy, Cultural/Historic
Resources Program, Richland Operations Office, 825 Jadwin Avenue, MSIN
A5-15 Richland, WA 99352, telephone (509) 372-0277, before April 6,

the Colville Reservation, Washington; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon; Confederated Tribes and Bands of
the Yakama Nation, Washington; Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho; and Wanapum
Band, a non-Federally recognized Indian group, may proceed after that
date if no additional claimants come forward. The Confederated Tribes
of the Colville Reservation, Washington; Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon; Confederated Tribes and Bands of
