You are entitled to a copy of the entire ICR package free of charge. 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. II. Data OMB Number: 1024–0144. Title: Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Regulations, 43 CFR part 10. Service Form Number: None. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection of information. Description of Respondents: Museums that receive Federal funds and have possession of or control over Native American cultural items. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Frequency of Collection: On occasion. Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 100 (NPS estimates 50 new Consultation Inventory & Summary updates and approximately 50 Museum Notices Inventory and Summary). E:\FR\FM\02MRN1.SGM 02MRN1
