I. Abstract
Public Law 105–23, National
Underground Railroad Network to
Freedom Act of 1998, requires the
establishment of a network justifiably
associated with the Underground
Railroad. The Network is designed to be
a collection of sites, facilities, and
programs, both governmental and nongovernmental, around the United States
with a verifiable association with the
historic Underground Railroad
movement. The National Park Service
National Underground Railroad
Network to Freedom application form is
completed by Federal agencies, State
Historic Preservation Offices, other State
agencies, local governments,
organizations, and individuals. We use
the information collected to determine
eligibility to become part of the
Network. We are requesting a 3-year
term of approval for this information
collection activity.
Respondents must verify associations
and characteristics through descriptive
texts that are the result of historical
research. Evaluations are based on
subjective analysis of the information
provided, which often includes copies
of rare documents and photographs.
Much of the information is submitted in
electronic format, but, at the present
time, there is no automated way to
gather all of the required information.

History and Description of the Remains
In July 1981, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from site
40RE86 in Roane County, TN, as a result
of an archeological investigation. The
site dates to the Mississippian period
(specifically, the eastern Tennessee
Dallas Phase, A.D. 1300 to 1600). Based
on the associated pottery found at the
site, the human remains date to about
A.D. 1400. No known individuals were
identified. The one associated funerary
object is a small shell tempered vessel.
The Dallas Phase people of the Upper
Tennessee Valley are not clearly
identifiable as being culturally affiliated
with a modern-day tribe. However,
based on consultation and the totality of
circumstances surrounding acquisition
of the human remains and associated
funerary object, the U.S. Department of
Energy Oak Ridge Office has determined
by a reasonable belief that the human
remains and associated funerary object
are culturally affiliated with the Eastern
Band of Cherokee Indians.
Determinations Made by the U.S.
Department of Energy Oak Ridge Office
Officials of the U.S. Department of
Energy Oak Ridge Office have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the one object described above is
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.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and the Eastern Band of
Cherokee Indians.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any Indian tribe
that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary object should
