SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Competitive leasing within the KPLA
will be initiated based on expressions of
interest. Any competitive leases issued
will be subject to the oil and gas leasing
stipulations contained in the 2008 Moab
and Monticello Resource Management
Plans (Moab RMP, Appendix A and
Monticello RMP, Appendix B).
Competitive potash leases will also be
subject to additional conditions of
approval developed as part of sitespecific National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA) compliance.
In accordance with Departmental
Manual (DM) 516, Chapter 11.9 J(12),
the classification of a KPLA is an action
that is categorically excluded from
NEPA analysis, provided that there are
no ‘‘extraordinary circumstances’’ as

proposed Lisbon Valley KPLA
expansion was reviewed and was
determined to have no ‘‘extraordinary
circumstances’’ as documented in DOI–
BLM–UT–9230–2010–0003–CX. Further
NEPA review will be done for site
specific proposals within the KPLA.
This notice will be published in the
Moab Times Independent for 2
consecutive weeks after publication in
the Federal Register.
Pursuant to the authority in the Act of
March 3, 1879, (43 U.S.C. 31), as
supplemented by Reorganization Plan
No. 3 of 1950 (43 U.S.C. 1451, note) and
235 Departmental Manual 1.1L, and the

amended (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), the
Lisbon Valley KPLA of May 18, 1960, is
expanded to include the lands listed
above effective on November 16, 2010.

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice is hereby 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 the Interior, Bureau of
Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region,
Boise, ID, and in the physical custody
of the Colville Tribal Repository,
Nespelem, WA. The human remains
were removed from Grant 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 Bureau of
Reclamation professional staff with
assistance from a Central Washington
University physical anthropologist and
professional staff from Washington State
University, the National Park Service,
and the History/Archaeology
Department of the Confederated Tribes
of the Colville Reservation, Washington.
From the winter of 1963 to 1964,
human remains representing a
minimum of eight individuals were
removed from a location, which was
later designated as the Steamboat Rock
Mass Grave (45–GR–98), near the mouth
of Barker Canyon at Banks Lake, Grant
County, WA. A member of the general
public reported a mass grave had been
exposed by receding waters at Banks
Lake. Members of Washington State
University’s Department of Sociology
and Anthropology excavated the
remains in an effort to protect them
from vandalism and theft. The remains
were accessioned at Washington State
University. The human remains were
moved, most likely in 1967, to the
Alfred Bowers Laboratory of
Anthropology at the University of Idaho.
At an unknown date, the remains were
loaned to the Arizona State Museum,
University of Arizona, for analysis, and
PO 00000
Frm 00113

this analysis occurred in 1967. There is
no documentation indicating if the loan
originated while the remains were at
Washington State University or after
they had been moved to the University
of Idaho, nor is there documentation of
which institution they were returned to
following analysis. However, the human
remains were stored at the University of
Idaho until 2000, when they were
moved back to Washington State
University. In 2006, they were
transferred to the Colville Tribal
Repository for curation pending
repatriation. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
No physical description of the
remains was prepared at the time of
recovery. In 1967, the Arizona State
Museum documented the partial
remains of six individuals. In 2005, the
Bureau of Reclamation completed a
physical description of the remains. All
individuals identified in 1967 were
present in the collection at the time of
the 2005 inventory, and isolated
elements representing two additional
individuals were identified.
The osteological evidence as
described by archeologists and physical
anthropologists indicate the human
remains described above are Native
American. The geographic location of
the site is within the Plateau Culture
Area. The site is within the judicially
established aboriginal territory of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation. Tribal oral tradition and
anthropological and historical research
indicate the site lies within an area
occupied by the Sanpoil and the
Nespelem Tribes or Bands, who are
legally represented by the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation,
Washington.
Officials of the Bureau of
Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region,
have determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(9), that the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of eight individuals of Native
American ancestry. Officials of the
Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific
Northwest Region, have also
determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001(2), that 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.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Ms. Lynne MacDonald,
Regional Archeologist, Pacific
Northwest Region, Bureau of
Reclamation, 1150 N. Curtis Road,

In June 1983, human remains
representing a minimum of three
individuals were removed from
archeological site 45KL281, Klickitat
County, WA. The remains were
recovered during initial documentation
and subsurface sampling of the
archeological site, prior to acquisition of
the property by the Federal agency. The
items came into possession of the Forest
Service in 1989, following the land
acquisition. The location is on National
Forest System lands within the
Columbia River Gorge National Scenic
Area. No known individuals were
identified. The 571 associated funerary
objects are 5 shell beads, 182 copper
artifacts, 380 glass beads, 1 pipe in
fragments, 1 horse molar and 2 glass
bottle or jar fragments.
The human remains are highly
fragmented due to the effects of
cremation, and most of the associated
funerary objects also show the effects of
fire. Trade materials among the
associated funerary objects indicate
interment and firing circa A.D. 1825–
1850. Funerary objects reflect the
ornamentation and dress of local Native
American groups during the early
historic period. Cultural geography, oral
traditions and historic sources indicate
probable use of the site area either by
´ ´
Wayam5ama families from the village of
´
wanwawi (Oregon) or Walawitsislama
´
people from the village of walawitis
(Washington). The descendants of the
´ ´
Wayam5ama and Walawitsislama are
members of the Confederated Tribes of
the Warm Springs Reservation of
Oregon and Confederated Tribes and
Bands of the Yakama Nation,
Washington. Elders have suggested that
the remains may be associated with a
disease epidemic, as cremation was not
the normal or preferred method of
treatment for the deceased.
Officials of the Gifford Pinchot
National Forest have determined,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), that the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of three
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Gifford Pinchot
National Forest also have determined,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), that
the 571 objects 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
the death rite or ceremony. Lastly,
officials of the Gifford Pinchot National
Forest have determined, pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 3001(2), that there is a
relationship of shared group identity
that can be reasonably traced between
the Native American human remains
and associated funerary objects and the
