SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
With this notice, we finalize the CCP
process for the Togiak Refuge. We
started this process with a Notice of
Intent in the Federal Register (64 FR
25899, May. 13, 1999) and a revised
Notice of Intent in the Federal Register
(71 FR 42116, July 25, 2006). We
announced the availability of the draft
CCP and EA, and requested comments
in a notice of availability in the Federal
Register (72 FR 54921, Sept. 27, 2007).
Togiak Refuge is located 400 miles
west of Anchorage, Alaska. The Refuge
is bordered to the south by Bristol Bay,
to the west by Kuskokwim Bay, to the
north by Yukon Delta National Wildlife
Refuge and to the east by Wood-Tikchik
State Park. Of the 4.7 million acres
within the boundary, 4.2 million acres
is under management by the Service,
including the 2.3 million-acre Togiak
Wilderness. Three major watersheds,
the Kanketok, Goodnews, and Togiak
rivers, provide abundant fish habitat
within the Refuge, where more than 1
million salmon come to spawn each
year. The Refuge also includes coastal
areas varying from sandy beaches to
steep rocky cliffs, including rare
protected haul outs for Pacific Walrus.
We announce our decision and the
availability of the FONSI for the revised
CCP for the Togiak Refuge in accordance
with National Environmental Policy Act
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:27 Sep 23, 2009
Jkt 217001
(NEPA) (40 CFR 1506.6(b))
requirements. We completed a thorough
analysis of impacts on the human
environment in the EA that
accompanied the draft revised CCP.
The CCP will guide us in managing
and administering the Togiak Refuge for
the next 15 years. The revised CCP is
Alternative 1, the preferred alternative
in the draft CCP, developed in response
to public scoping comments.
Background
The Alaska National Interest Lands
Conservation Act of 1980 (94 Stat. 2371;
ANILCA) and the National Wildlife
Refuge System Improvement Act of
1997 (16 U.S.C. 668dd–668ee) require
us to develop a CCP for each Alaska
refuge. The purpose for developing a
CCP is to provide refuge managers with
a 15-year plan for achieving refuge
purposes and contributing toward the
mission of the National Wildlife Refuge
System, consistent with sound
principles of fish and wildlife
management, conservation, legal
mandates, and our policies. We will
review and update the CCP at least
every 15 years in accordance with
national policy and ANILCA.
ANILCA requires us to designate areas
according to their respective resources
and values and to specify programs and
uses within the areas designated. To
meet this requirement, the Alaska
Region established management
categories for refuges including
Wilderness, Minimal, Moderate,
Intensive, and Wild River management.
In the past, additional categories,
including Cooperative Management
were also included but are no longer
used. For each management category we
identified appropriate activities, public
uses, commercial uses, and facilities.
This revision reclassifies Cooperative
Management lands as Minimal
Management. Only Minimal and
Wilderness management categories are
applied to Togiak Refuge.
Draft CCP Alternatives
The Draft Plan identified one
significant planning issue, the effect of
management on activities and uses
within the Togiak Refuge. Two
alternatives were considered in the
environmental assessment. Alternative
1, the Proposed Action, includes
implementation of updated management
guidelines, converting lands in
Cooperative Management into Minimal
Management, and adds Refuge goals and
objectives. Alternative 2, Current
Management, would continue to
implement current management as
outlined in the 1987 Comprehensive
Plan, including the use of the
PO 00000
Frm 00070
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Cooperative Management category. The
Refuge would not have a clearly stated
vision statement, goals and objectives to
guide management.
Comments on the Draft CCP
Comments on the draft CCP/EA for
Togiak Refuge were solicited by the
Service from October 3, 2007, through
January 18, 2008. During the public
review and comment period the Service
held public meetings in Anchorage,
Dillingham, Quinhagak, Goodnews Bay,
and Togiak, Alaska. The planning team
reviewed, analyzed, and summarized all
comments received at the public
meetings and in writing.
Selected Alternative—Alternative 1
Two alternatives were considered in
the environmental assessment.
Alternative 1, the Proposed Action,
encompasses policy development,
changes, and clarifications made in the
years since the implementation of the
original Comprehensive Plan in 1987. It
also converts lands in Cooperative
Management into Minimal Management,
and adds a Refuge vision statement,
goals and objectives.

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
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 and associated funerary objects
under the control of The Colorado
College, Colorado Springs, CO. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from Canyon de
Chelly, Apache County, AZ.
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 and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
This notice corrects the minimum
number of individuals and associated
funerary objects in a Notice of Inventory
Completion previously published in the
Federal Register (72 FR 19920, April 14,
2004), and replaces it in its entirety with
the following:
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by The Colorado
College professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Navajo Nation,
Arizona, New Mexico & Utah; Ohkay
Owingeh, New Mexico (formerly the
Pueblo of San Juan); Pueblo of Acoma,
New Mexico; Pueblo of Cochiti, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Isleta, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico; Pueblo of
Laguna, New Mexico; Pueblo of Nambe,
New Mexico; Pueblo of Picuris, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Pojoaque, New
Mexico; Pueblo of San Felipe, New
Mexico; Pueblo of San Ildefonso, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Sandia, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Santa Clara, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Santo Domingo, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Taos, New Mexico; Pueblo of
Tesuque, New Mexico; Pueblo of Zia,
New Mexico; Ysleta del Sur Pueblo of
Texas; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni
Reservation, New Mexico.
In 1897–1898, human remains
representing 11 individuals were
removed from a cliff ruin in Chinlee
Canon (a.k.a. Canyon de Chelly),
PO 00000
Frm 00071

Apache County, AZ, under the auspices
of the C.B. Lang Expedition of 1897–
1898. Prior to 1900, General William
Jackson Palmer acquired what became
known as the Lang-Bixby Collection,
which he subsequently transferred to
The Colorado College. After the
museum was disbanded, the human
remains were transferred to the
College’s Anthropology Department.
The associated funerary objects that
were not in direct contact with the
human remains were transferred to the
Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center
(CSFAC) (formerly the Taylor Museum).
A permanent loan agreement with the
CSFAC is dated 1986. The six associated
funerary objects are a cotton robe or
blanket, which may also include
feathers, that encases the human
remains of a naturally mummified
infant; two fragments of cotton cloth
believed to have been a part of the robe
or blanket; a yucca basket; a piece of
bark; and one lot of cotton fabric
identified at the time of collection as
resembling a lamp wick; all of the
funerary objects are associated with the
human remains of a naturally
mummified infant.
A physical anthropological
assessment of the human remains
resulted in a determination that the
human remains are ancestral Puebloan
based on the type of cranial
deformation. This determination is
supported by the funerary objects
associated with one of the individuals,
as well as the provenience.
In 1897–1898, human remains
representing two individuals were
removed from Chinlee Canon (a.k.a.
Canyon de Chelly), Apache County, AZ,
under the auspices of the C.B. Lang
Expedition of 1897–1898. Prior to 1900,
General William Jackson Palmer
acquired what became known as the
Lang-Bixby Collection, which he
subsequently transferred to The
Colorado College. After the museum
was disbanded, the human remains
were transferred to the College’s
Anthropology Department. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Canyon de Chelly, which is also
known as Chinlee Canon, was a site of
ancestral Puebloan occupation.
Currently, the site is within the Navajo
Indian Reservation. The Colorado
College has determined that the lands
from which the human remains and
associated funerary objects were
collected were not Federal lands at the
time of collection.
A relationship of shared group
identity can reasonably be traced
between ancestral Puebloan and modern
Puebloan peoples based on oral
