2. As the BLM considers
implementing decisions governed by the
Approved Kemmerer RMP, the BLM
will coordinate with Federal, state, and
local agencies to ensure that the policies
established by the Governor of
Wyoming’s Executive Order on SageGrouse (E.O. 2008–2), including
managing sage-grouse habitats in
support of population objectives
consistent with the Governor’s SageGrouse Core Population Area strategy,
are considered and implemented, as
appropriate.
3. The BLM will apply expanded
sage-grouse restrictions when supported
by site-specific environmental analysis.
4. The BLM will make use of
statewide sage-grouse seasonal habitat
models and sagebrush mapping as they
are developed.
5. The BLM will provide for
additional sage-grouse protections
through a statewide oil and gas lease
stipulation—Lease Notice No.3: ‘‘Greater
Sage-Grouse Habitat: The lease may in
part, or in total, contain important
Greater sage-grouse habitats as
identified by the BLM, either currently
or prospectively. The operator may be
required to implement specific
measures to reduce impacts of oil and
gas operations on the Greater sagegrouse populations and habitat quality.
Such measures shall be developed
during the Application for Permit to
Drill (APD) on-site and environmental
review process and will be consistent
with the lease rights granted.’’
The Governor’s consistency review of
the Proposed RMP/Final EIS identified
a concern which prompted the BLM to
clarify the definition of surfacedisturbing activity to maintain
consistency with other BLM Wyoming
Field Offices.
The decisions identifying designated
routes of travel and closures for
motorized vehicles are implementation
decisions and are appealable under 43
CFR part 4. These decisions are
contained in Table 1–1 of the Approved
RMP. Any party adversely affected by
the proposed route identifications may
appeal within 30 days of publication of
this Notice of Availability pursuant to
43 CFR, part 4, subpart E. The appeal
should state the specific route(s), as
identified in Table 1–1 of the Approved
RMP, on which the decision is being
appealed. The appeal must be filed with
the Kemmerer Field Manager at the
above listed address. Please consult the
appropriate regulations (43 CFR, part 4,

National Park Service
Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural
Items: University of Idaho, Alfred W.
Bowers Laboratory of Anthropology,
Moscow, ID
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice.
AGENCY:
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 cultural items in the
possession of the University of Idaho,
Alfred W. Bowers Laboratory of
Anthropology, Moscow, ID, that meet
the definitions of ‘‘unassociated funerary
objects’’ and ‘‘sacred object’’ 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
items. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
In 1963, five unassociated funerary
objects were removed from the
Whitebird Site, 10–IH–84. The five
unassociated funerary objects are one
square wood stick, one brass or copper
button, one dentalium vulgare shell,
one-end rounded cork, and one bone
whistle. This site is located within the
area ceded by the Nez Perce to the
United States pursuant to the Nez Perce
Treaty of June 9, 1863 (14 Stat. 647).
The site is within the area recognized by
a final judgment of the Indian Claims
Commission as the aboriginal land of
the Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho (18 Ind. Cl.
Comm. 1, 1967). Finally, the site is a
known Nez Perce burial site.
Currently, the Whitebird Site is
federally-owned and administered by
the National Park Service; however, at
the time of excavation, Harry Hagen
owned this property. The objects were
removed during the survey and
subsequent construction of an alternate
road (Route (F–41/3(13)). Although the
site did not yield human remains at the
time of the excavation, it was noted that
the site had been ‘‘almost completely

Frm 00064
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990

potted by amateurs,’’ (Idaho
Archaeological Site Survey, recorded by
Perry Silver, Idaho State Archaeological
Society).
In addition to being a funerary object,
the bone whistle has been described as
possibly sacred. Bone whistles are used
in special ceremonies, and may have
been buried with the person who owned
it. Based on consultation evidence with
the Nez Perce Tribe, the bone whistle
has been determined to be a sacred
object.
Officials from the University of Idaho
Alfred W. Bowers Laboratory of
Anthropology have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the
five cultural items described above are
reasonably believed to have been placed
with or near individual human remains
at the time of death or later as part of
a death rite or ceremony and are
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
burial site of Native American
individuals. Officials of the University
of Idaho, Alfred W. Bowers Laboratory
of Anthropology also have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C),
the one cultural item described above 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. Lastly, officials
of the University of Idaho, Alfred W.
Bowers Laboratory of Anthropology
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 sacred
object and unassociated funerary objects
and the Nez Perce Tribe, Idaho.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the unassociated funerary
objects and/or sacred object should
contact Leah K. Evans-Janke, University
of Idaho, Alfred W. Bowers Laboratory
of Anthropology, Moscow, ID 83844–
1111, telephone (208) 885–3733, before
July 1, 2010. Repatriation of the
unassociated funerary objects and
sacred object to the Nez Perce Tribe,
Idaho, may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The University of Idaho, Alfred W.
Bowers Laboratory of Anthropology is
responsible for notifying the Nez Perce
Tribe, Idaho, that this notice has been
published.

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 in the possession of the U.S.
Department of the Interior, National
Park Service, Grand Canyon National
Park, Grand Canyon, AZ. The human
remains were removed from within the
boundary of Grand Canyon National
Park, Coconino and Mohave Counties,
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 superintendent, Grand Canyon
National Park.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Grand Canyon
National Park professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Havasupai Tribe of the Havasupai
Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe of
Arizona; Hualapai Indian Tribe of the
Hualapai Reservation, Arizona; Kaibab
Band of Paiute Indians of the Kaibab
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Las Vegas
Tribe of Paiute Indians of the Las Vegas
Indian Colony, Nevada; Moapa Band of
Paiute Indians of the Moapa River
Indian Reservation, Nevada; Navajo
Nation, Arizona, New Mexico & Utah;
Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah (Cedar Band
of Paiutes, Kanosh Band of Paiutes,
Koosharem Band of Paiutes, Indian
Peaks Band of Paiutes, and Shivwits
Band of Paiutes) (formerly Paiute Indian
Tribe of Utah (Cedar City Band of

Peaks Band of Paiutes, and Shivwits
Band of Paiutes)); San Juan Southern
Paiute Tribe of Arizona; YavapaiApache Nation of the Camp Verde
Indian Reservation, Arizona; and Zuni
Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New
Mexico.
In 1935, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
removed from the Grand Canyon Village
area in Coconino County, AZ. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Between 1954 and 1955, human
remains representing a minimum of two

individuals were removed from an
unknown cave location in Coconino
County, AZ. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Prior to 1958, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unspecified location in Coconino or
Mohave County, AZ. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
In 1962, human remains representing
a minimum of one individual were
removed from a ledge south of Bright
Angel Trail in Coconino County, AZ. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Prior to 1968, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unspecified location in Coconino or
Mohave County, AZ. No known
individual was identified. No associated
funerary objects are present.
At an unknown date, human remains
representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from an
unspecified location in Coconino or
Mohave County, AZ. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Due to a lack of contextual
information and evidence to support a
precise cultural affiliation
determination, the Native American
human remains described above are
determined to be ‘‘culturally
unidentifiable’’ under NAGPRA.
Officials of Grand Canyon National
Park have determined that, pursuant to
25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of nine individuals of Native
American ancestry. Lastly, officials of
Grand Canyon National Park have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(2), a relationship of shared group
identity cannot reasonably be traced
between the Native American human
remains and any present-day Indian
tribe.
The Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Review
Committee (Review Committee) is
responsible for recommending specific
actions for disposition of culturally
unidentifiable human remains. In July
2009, Grand Canyon National Park
requested that the Review Committee
recommend disposition of the nine
culturally unidentifiable human
remains to the Havasupai Tribe of the
Havasupai Reservation, Arizona,
because the human remains were found
within the tribe’s aboriginal and
historical territory. The Review
Committee considered the proposal at
its October 30–31, 2009, meeting and
PO 00000

recommended disposition of the human
remains to the Havasupai Tribe of the
Havasupai Reservation, Arizona.
A March 4, 2010, letter from the
Designated Federal Officer, writing on
behalf of the Secretary of the Interior,
transmitted the authorization for the
park to effect disposition of the physical
remains of the culturally unidentifiable
individuals to the Havasupai Tribe of
the Havasupai Reservation, Arizona,
contingent on the publication of a
Notice of Inventory Completion in the
Federal Register. This notice fulfills
that requirement.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Stephen P. Martin,
Superintendent, Grand Canyon National
Park, P.O. Box 129, Grand Canyon, AZ
86023, telephone (928) 638–7945, before
July 1, 2010. Disposition of the human
remains to the Havasupai Tribe of the
Havasupai Reservation, Arizona, may
proceed after that date if no additional
claimants come forward.
Grand Canyon National Park is
responsible for notifying the Havasupai
Tribe of the Havasupai Reservation,
Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona;
