The issues before the Review Committee were (1) whether, in their request for the repatriation of 38 catalogued objects deriving from the Snail House and one catalogued object deriving from the Eagle's Nest House that are in the possession of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the requestors proved that all the requested objects are both ``sacred objects'' and objects of ``cultural patrimony,'' as these terms are defined in NAGPRA; and (2) whether, in response to the request for the repatriation of the 39 catalogued objects, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology presented evidence proving that the Museum has a ``right of possession'' to any of the objects, as this term is defined in the NAGPRA regulations. The Review Committee found that all of the requested objects are both sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony, and that the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology does not have a right of possession to any of those cultural items.

Small Business Investment Companies-Early Stage SBICs
This Call invites experienced early stage fund managers to submit the preliminary materials discussed in Section II, in the form of the Small Business Investment Company (``SBIC'') Management Assessment Questionnaire (``MAQ''), for consideration by the Small Business Administration (``SBA'') to be licensed as Early Stage Small Business Investment Companies.

More information on the Early Stage SBIC Initiative and the regulations governing these SBICs may be found at www.sba.gov/inv/ earlystage. In order to expedite licensing of qualified applicants that have already raised the required capital, SBA has established two ``tracks'' for the Early Stage SBIC Licensing Process as follows: [rtrif] Track 1Applicants with Capital: This includes all applicants that have signed commitments for at least $15 million in Regulatory Capital and the remaining capital needed to achieve the minimum $20 million in Regulatory Capital for Early Stage SBICs ``soft- circled.'' (This may include drop-down funds.) Track 1 applicants that receive a Green Light letter will need signed commitments of at least $20 million in Regulatory Capital when they file their Licensing Application on or before June 7, 2013. SBA will accept a commitment that is conditioned upon issuance of an Early Stage SBIC license and/or approval of the applicant's organizational documents, but will not accept a commitment that is subject to any other conditions.

Safety Zones; Columbia Grain and United Grain Corporation Facilities; Columbia and Willamette Rivers
The Coast Guard is establishing temporary safety zones around the Columbia Grain facility on the Willamette River in Portland, OR, and the United Grain Corporation facility on the Columbia River in Vancouver, WA. These safety zones extend to the waters of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, respectively, approximately between the navigable channel and the facility described. These safety zones are being established to ensure that protest activities relating to a labor dispute involving these facilities do not create hazardous navigation conditions for vessels in the navigable channel or vessels attempting to moor at the facilities.
