Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 112 / Friday, June 11, 2010 / Notices
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the possession and control of
the New York University College of
Dentistry, New York, NY. The human
remains were removed from the
cemetery at Kienuka, Niagara County,
NY.
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 the New York
University College of Dentistry
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Tuscarora Nation
of New York.
In 1903, human remains representing
a minimum of two individuals were
removed from the cemetery at Kienuka
in Niagara County, NY, by John
MacKay. The remains were
subsequently added to the collection of
William MacKay, John MacKay’s
brother. The Museum of the American
Indian, Heye Foundation, purchased
William MacKay’s collection in 1918. In
1956, the Museum of the American
Indian transferred the remains to Dr.
Theodore Kazamiroff, New York
University College of Dentistry. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Kienuka is located within the
boundaries of the Tuscarora
Reservation, which was established in
1797. The removal occurred prior to the
Antiquities Act, and, therefore, the U.S.
Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Indian Affairs, is not asserting control.
Archival and historical records suggest
that the removal of the remains was not
authorized by the Tuscarora Nation and
that a law enforcement official from the
Tuscarora Nation investigated the
desecration of the cemetery but was
unable to arrest anyone.
Kienuka was a Neutral village of the
early 17th century, and the morphology
of the remains is consistent with
individuals of Native American
ancestry. The Neutral were a
confederacy of Iroquoian speakers who
lived to the south and north of the
eastern half of Lake Erie. Their name
was derived from the neutral position
they occupied geographically and
sociopolitically between the Huron and
Iroquois Confederacies. Between 1647
and 1651, the Neutral coalition was
fractured and its people were decimated
as a result of warfare with the Iroquois
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 220001
nations. The Neutral ceased to be
identified as a distinct group by 1660.
In 1713, the Tuscarora migrated to
New York from North Carolina. The
Tuscarora were adopted as the sixth
nation of the Iroquois Confederacy in
1722 and 1723. After the Revolutionary
War, the Tuscarora settled on the east
side of the Niagara River. The Tuscarora
Nation received their land grant, which
includes portions of Niagara County, in
1797. Their reservation was
subsequently expanded and continues
to include the site of Kienuka.
Officials of the New York University
College of Dentistry have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the New York
University College of Dentistry also
have determined that, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001(2), a relationship of shared
group identity cannot be reasonably
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, the New York University College
of Dentistry requested that the Review
Committee recommend disposition of
the culturally unidentifiable human
remains of two individuals to the
Tuscarora Nation of New York. The
Review Committee considered the
proposal at its October 30–31, 2009,
meeting and recommended disposition
of the human remains to the Tuscarora
Nation of New York.
A March 4, 2010, letter from the
Designated Federal Official, writing on
behalf of the Secretary of the Interior,
transmitted the authorization for the
College to effect disposition of the
physical remains to the Tuscarora
Nation of New York, 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 Dr. Louis Terracio, New
York University College of Dentistry,
345 East 24th St., New York, NY 10010,
telephone (212) 998–9917, before July
12, 2010. Disposition of the human
remains to the Tuscarora Nation of New
York may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
The New York University College of
Dentistry is responsible for notifying the

section 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930
(19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)) (the Act) to
determine whether an industry in the
United States is materially injured or
threatened with material injury, or the
establishment of an industry in the
United States is materially retarded, by
reason of less-than-fair-value imports
from China and Mexico of seamless
refined copper pipe and tube, provided
for in subheadings 7411.10.10 and
8415.90.80 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States.1
1 For purposes of these investigations, the
Department of Commerce has defined the subject
merchandise as ‘‘all seamless circular refined
copper pipe and tubes, including redraw hollows,
greater than or equal to 6 inches (152.4 mm) in
length and measuring less than 12.130 inches
(308.102 mm) (actual) in outside diameter (‘‘OD’’),
regardless of wall thickness, bore (e.g., smooth,
enhanced with innergrooves or ridges),
manufacturing process (e.g., hot finished, colddrawn, annealed), outer surface (e.g., plain or

finish (e.g., plain end, swaged end, flared end,
expanded end, crimped end, threaded), coating
(e.g., plastic, paint), insulation, attachments (e.g.,
plain, capped, plugged, with compression or other
fitting), or physical configuration (e.g., straight,
coiled bent, wound on spools). The scope covers,
but is not limited to, seamless refined copper pipe
and tube produced or comparable to the American
Society for Testing and Materials (‘‘ASTM’’) ASTM–

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of the
final phase of antidumping investigation Nos. 731-TA-1174-1175 (Final)
under section 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b))
(the Act) to determine whether an industry in the United States is
materially injured or threatened with material injury, or the

therein. Also included within the scope of these investigations are
all sets of covered products, including ``line sets'' of seamless
refined copper tubes (with or without fittings or insulation)
suitable for connecting an outdoor air conditioner or heat pump to
an indoor evaporator unit. The phrase ``all sets of covered

Department of Commerce that imports of seamless refined copper pipe and
tube from China and Mexico are being sold in the United States at less
than fair value within the meaning of section 733 of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1673b). These investigations were requested in a petition filed on
September 30, 2009, by Cerro Flow Products, Inc., St. Louis, MO; Kobe
Wieland Copper Products, LLC, Pine Hall, NC; Mueller Copper Tube
Products, Inc. and Mueller Copper Tube Company, Inc., Memphis, TN.
