Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2012 / Notices
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
The area described contains
approximately 38,016.60 acres located
in Mohave County, Arizona. The BLM
announced its intention to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement and
initiated a public scoping process for
the Proposed Project on November 20,
2009 (74 FR 60289). A supplemental
notice of intent was issued on July 26,
2010 (75 FR 43551).
The BLM is segregating the lands
under the authority contained in 43 CFR
2091.3–1(e) and 43 CFR 2804.25(e) for a
period of 2 years, subject to valid
existing rights. This 2-year segregation
period will commence on March 2,
2012. These public lands will be
segregated from appropriation under the
public land laws, including the mining
law, but not the mineral leasing or
material sales acts. This segregation will
not affect valid existing rights. It has
been determined that this segregation is
necessary for the orderly administration
of the public lands by maintaining the
status quo while the BLM processes the
ROW application for the Proposed
Project.
The segregation period will terminate
and the lands will automatically reopen
to appropriation under the public land
laws, including the mining laws, if one
of the following events occurs: (1) Upon
the issuance of a decision by the
authorized officer granting, granting
with modifications, or denying the
application for a right-of-way; (2) upon
publication of a Federal Register notice
of termination of the segregation; or (3)
without further administrative action at
the end of the segregation provided for
in this Federal Register notice initiating
the segregation, whichever occurs first.
Any segregation made under this
authority would be effective for a period
of 2 years. The lands to be segregated
pursuant to the authority at 43 CFR
2091.3–1(e) and 2804.25(e) are
identified in the legal description
provided above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), requires museums to
compile certain information
(summaries, inventories, and notices)
regarding Native American cultural
items in their possession or control and
provide that information to lineal
descendants, likely interested Indian
tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, and the National
NAGPRA Program (acting on behalf of
PO 00000
Frm 00084
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
12875
the Secretary of the Interior, housed in
the National Park Service), to support
consultation in the process of
publishing notices that establish rights
to repatriation. The summaries are
general descriptions of the museum’s
Native American collection, sent to all
possibly interested tribes to disclose the
collection, should the tribe desire to
consult on items and present a claim.
The inventories are item-by-item lists of
the human remains and their funerary
objects, upon which the museum
consults with likely affiliated tribes to
determine cultural affiliation, tribal land
origination, or origination from
aboriginal lands of Federal recognized
tribes. Consultation and claims for items
require information exchange between
museums and tribes on the collections.
Notices of Inventory Completion,
published in the Federal Register
indicate the museum decisions of rights
of lineal descendants and tribes to
receive human remains and funerary
objects; Notices of Intent to Repatriate,
published in the Federal Register,
indicate the agreements of museums
and tribes to transfer control to tribes of
funerary objects, sacred objects and
objects of cultural patrimony. Museums
identify NAGPRA protected items in the
collection through examination of
museum records and from consultation
with tribes.
The National NAGPRA Program
maintains the public databases of
summary, inventory and notice
information to support consultation. In
the first 20 years of the administration
of NAGPRA approximately 40,000
Native American human remains, of a
possible collection of 180,000
individuals, have been listed in
NAGPRA notices. Information
collection of previous years is of lasting
benefit, diminishing efforts in future
years.

The NPS authorizes private
businesses known as concessioners to
provide necessary and appropriate
visitor facilities and services in areas of
the National Park System. Concession
authorizations may be assigned, sold,
transferred, or encumbered by the
concessioner subject to prior written
approval of the NPS. The NPS requires
that certain information be submitted
for review prior to the consummation of
any sale, transfer, assignment, or
encumbrance.
The information requested is used to
determine whether or not the proposed
transaction will result in an adverse
impact on the protection, conservation,
or preservation of the resources of the
unit of the National Park System;
decreased services to the public; the
lack of a reasonable opportunity for
profit over the remaining term of the
authorization; or rates in excess of
approved rates to the public. In
addition, pursuant to the regulations at
36 CFR Part 51, the value of rights for
intangible assets such as the concession
contract, right of preference in renewal,
user days, or low fees, belongs to the
Government.
If any portion of the purchase price is
attributable either directly or indirectly
to such assets, the transaction may not
be approved. The amount and type of
information to be submitted varies with
the type and complexity of the proposed
transaction. Without such information,
the NPS would be unable to determine
whether approval of the proposed
transaction would be adequate.
