been closed for public safety purposes
and resource protection for federally
listed endangered species and BLM
sensitive species.
DATES: This extension of the temporary
closure is in effect on the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Ash

public lands are described as follows:
Mount Diablo Meridian

The lands described contain 1.18 acres,
more or less, in Lincoln County.
An extension of the temporary closure
of the Ash Springs Recreation Site is
necessary. The BLM currently is in the
process of developing a management
plan and environmental assessment
(EA). The plan will determine the type
and level of recreational uses suitable
for the site, while protecting habitat for
the endangered White River springfish
and for three BLM Nevada sensitive
species: Pahranagat naucorid bug,
Grated tryonia, and Pahranagat
pebblesnail. The BLM will analyze any
actions for repairing, rehabilitating, and/
or reopening the site through the EA in
compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act, incorporating
public comments.
The BLM analyzed the original
temporary closure through an EA #DOI–

habitat, the BLM may consider other
options for managing the site.

DATES: Lineal descendants or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural
items under the control of History
Colorado that meet the definition of
unassociated funerary objects, under 25
U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American cultural items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
In or about 1915, private citizens
removed three cultural items from a Ute
grave located near the former White
River Indian Agency, CO. They were
donated to the museum in 1927. The
three unassociated funerary objects are
one set of thin, undecorated copper
bracelets, one leather belt decorated
with copper studs, and one rifle
fragment. The rifle is of the type used
in the early 1870s. The human remains
were never in the possession of History
Colorado.
Geographical evidence, burial context,
and museum records support affiliation
with the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah
& Ouray Reservation, Utah. The three
northern Ute bands once living at the
White River Indian Agency were
removed from Colorado in 1880 and are
now part of the Ute Indian Tribe of the
Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah.
Determinations Made by History
Colorado
Officials of the History Colorado have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the three cultural items described above
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

are 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 and
are believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary
objects and Ute Indian Tribe of the
Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
should submit a written request with
information in support of the claim to
Sheila Goff, 1200 Broadway, Denver, CO
80203, telephone (303) 866–4531, email
sheila.goff@state.co.us, by May 13,
2016. After that date, if no additional
claimants have come forward, transfer
of control of the unassociated funerary
objects to the Ute Indian Tribe of the
Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah may
proceed.
History Colorado is responsible for
notifying the Southern Ute Indian Tribe
of the Southern Ute Indian Reservation,
Colorado; the Ute Indian Tribe of the
Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah and
the Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute
Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New
Mexico and Utah that this notice has
been published.
