History and Description of the Remains In November 1947, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from site 45– GH–15 (Minard) in Grays Harbor County, WA, by archeologist Richard Daugherty of the University of Washington during his systematic archeological survey of the Washington coast. Richard Daugherty noted that the property owner had inadvertently uncovered at least 27 human skeletons while plowing his fields. According to the Thomas Burke Memorial Washington State Museum (Burke Museum) accession ledger, Daugherty collected two femora and one humerus. The collection was formally accessioned by the Burke Museum in 1947 (Burke Accn. #3583). In 1974, the Burke Museum legally transferred the right humerus and left femur to Central Washington University Department of Anthropology (CWU ID BA). The bones were examined by physical anthropologist Lourdes Henebry-DeLeon of Central Washington University, and the skeletal remains, which consist of a humerus and femur, cannot be used to establish conclusively cultural affiliation. However, the human remains have markings of 19–15(1) (right humerus) and 19–15(2) (left femur) written on them indicating the collecting location. Burke Museum records show 19–15 is the catalog number associated with site 45–GH–15. Based on the markings on the remains, the records at the Burke Museum and Richard Daugherty’s survey records it is reasonably believed that these remains are from site 45–GH–15.

The materials reported in the earlier NICs were culturally affiliated with the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation, Washington. Based on archeological context and the platymeric femoral morphology, the individual has been determined to be Native American. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Site 45–GH–15 is located at or near the traditional Copalis village of Oyhut. The Copalis are considered to have been a band of the Lower Chehalis whose traditional territory encompassed the lower reaches of the Chehalis River and the present-day county of Grays Harbor, WA.

Kentucky Utilities Company Under the Clean Air Act Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on March 12, 2012, a proposed Stipulated Order Regarding Modification of Consent Decree VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:10 Mar 15, 2012 Jkt 226001 (‘‘Stipulated Order’’) between Kentucky Utilities Company (‘‘Kentucky Utilities’’) and the United States in connection with Civil Action No. 5:07– CV–75–KSF, was lodged with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. The original consent decree, which was entered by the court on March 17, 2009, resolved a complaint filed by the United States on March 14, 2007. The complaint had alleged that Kentucky Utilities violated Prevention of Significant Deterioration and other provisions of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq., in connection with its operation of the E.W. Brown Generating Station in Mercer County, Kentucky. Under the consent decree, Kentucky Utilities agreed to perform various compliance measures at the E.W. Brown Generating Station, and committed to pay a civil penalty of $1.4 million and complete certain environmental mitigation projects at a cost of $3 million. For reasons beyond Kentucky Utilities’ control, however, it could not perform one of the mitigation projects—spending $1,000,000 to retrofit diesel school buses in Kentucky with EPA-verified emissions control technologies. Therefore, the Stipulated Order outlines substitute mitigation projects that Kentucky Utilities shall perform to fulfill its obligations under the Consent Decree. Specifically, Kentucky Utilities shall spend approximately $400,000 on the procurement of plug-in electric vehicles for its corporate fleet, and approximately $600,000 on the replacement of one or more coal-fired boilers at Kentucky public schools. Finally, if needed, it will spend up to $200,000 in funding forest restoration activities by the United States Forest Service. The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Stipulated Order.

History and Description of the Remains

    In November 1947, human remains representing, at minimum, one 
individual were removed from site 45-GH-15 (Minard) in Grays Harbor 
County, WA, by archeologist Richard Daugherty of the University of 
Washington during his systematic archeological survey of the Washington 
coast. Richard Daugherty noted that the property owner had 
inadvertently uncovered at least 27 human skeletons while plowing his 
fields. According to the Thomas Burke Memorial Washington State Museum 
(Burke Museum) accession ledger, Daugherty collected two femora and one 
humerus. The collection was formally accessioned by the Burke Museum in 
1947 (Burke Accn. 3583). In 1974, the Burke Museum legally 
transferred the right humerus and left femur to Central Washington 
University Department of Anthropology (CWU ID BA).
    The bones were examined by physical anthropologist Lourdes Henebry-
DeLeon of Central Washington University, and the skeletal remains, 
which consist of a humerus and femur, cannot be used to establish 
conclusively cultural affiliation. However, the human remains have 
markings of 19-15(1) (right humerus) and 19-15(2) (left femur) written

markings on the remains, the records at the Burke Museum and Richard 
Daugherty's survey records it is reasonably believed that these remains 
are from site 45-GH-15. There have been other Notices of Inventory

2008). The materials reported in the earlier NICs were culturally 
affiliated with the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation, 
Washington. Based on archeological context and the platymeric femoral
