the petition/application constitutes a
withdrawal proposal of the Secretary of
the Interior (43 CFR 2310.1–3(e)).
The use of a right-of-way, interagency
agreement, or cooperative agreement
would not adequately constrain mineral
location and surface entry which could
adversely affect ongoing management
activities, and existing and planned
capital improvements resulting in land
use conflicts as well as irretrievable loss
of natural resources.
No water is necessary to fulfill the
purpose of the requested withdrawal.
Records relating to this withdrawal
application may be examined by
contacting the BLM at the above address
and phone number.
For a period until May 18, 2015, all
persons who wish to submit comments,
suggestions, or objections in connection
with the proposed withdrawal may
present their views in writing to the
BLM State Director at the address
indicated above.
Comments, including names and
street addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review at the
address indicated above during regular
business hours. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, be
advised that your entire comment—
including your personal identifying
information—may be made publicly
available at any time. While you can ask
us in your comment to withhold from
public review your personal identifying
information, we cannot guarantee that
we will be able to do so.
Notice is hereby given that an
opportunity for a public meeting is
afforded in connection with the
proposed withdrawal. All interested
parties who desire a public meeting for
the purpose of being heard on the
proposed withdrawal must submit a
written request to the BLM State
Director at the address indicated above
by May 18, 2015. Upon determination
by the authorized officer that a public
meeting will be held, a notice of the
time and place will be published in the
Federal Register and a local newspaper
at least 30 days before the scheduled
date of the meeting.
For a period until February 17, 2017,
the public lands described in this notice
will be segregated from location and
entry under the United States mining
laws, but not from leasing under the
mineral or geothermal leasing laws, or
disposal under the Materials Act of
1947, unless the application is denied or
canceled or the withdrawal is approved
prior to that date.

agreements, or discretionary land use

authorizations of a temporary nature
that will not significantly impact the
values to be protected by the
withdrawal may be allowed with the
approval of the authorized officer of the
BLM during the temporary segregation
period.
The application will be processed in
accordance with the regulations set
forth in 43 CFR part 2300.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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
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.

We wish to conduct this study to
understand the social and economic
impacts of water levels on recreation
uses of the Colorado River, specifically
the areas from Glen Canyon Dam to the
head of Lake Mead. We are requesting
approval to administer two versions of
the key valuation questions (CV and
conjoint). The rationale for
administering two surveys containing
CV and conjoint questions is because
the survey design recognizes that the
state of the art methods used in nonmarket valuation have substantially
