compliance for these components of the
plan.
DATES: The NPS will execute the Record
of Decision (ROD) no sooner than 30
days following publication by the
Environmental Protection Agency of its
Notice of Availability of the Final EIS in
the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: An electronic copy of the
Central Everglades Planning Project
Final EIS, including Appendix C
(Environmental and Cultural
Resources), is available for download on
the Army Corps of Engineers Web site
at: https://www.saj.usace.army.mil/
Missions/Environmental/EcosystemRestoration/Central-EvergladesPlanning-Project/.
A hard copy of the Final EIS can be
viewed at Everglades National Park
Headquarters, 40001 State Road 9336,
Homestead, Florida 33034.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS
is adopting the CEPP Final EIS,
prepared by the COE. The CEQ
regulations allow Federal agencies to
adopt an EIS prepared by another
Federal agency that meets the standards
for an adequate statement. When the
proposed actions are ‘‘substantially the
same,’’ the adopting agency only needs
to recirculate it as a final EIS. CEQ’s
regulations implementing NEPA
strongly encourage agencies to reduce
paperwork and delay (40 CFR 1500.4,
1500.5.). One of the methods identified
by CEQ to accomplish this goal is
adopting the environmental documents
prepared by other agencies in
appropriate circumstances (40 CFR
1500.4(n), 1500.5(h), and 1506.3).
The CEPP combines several
components of the Comprehensive
Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), and
is designed to redirect water that is
currently being discharged to the
Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico to
the Everglades and Florida Bay. The
project optimizes the use of public lands
to move additional water to the south.
The CEPP will deliver approximately
210,000 acre-feet of water from Lake
Okeechobee to the central Everglades
every year. The recommended plan,
Alternative 4R2, includes features to
store, treat, and deliver water as
sheetflow at the top of Water
Conservation Area (WCA) 3A and calls
for removal of barriers to sheetflow flow
between WCA–3A, WCA 3B, and
Everglades National Park.

These actions have been addressed in
general or program-level terms and
include guidelines for future
coordination requirements and
programmatic consultations as methods
of ensuring the project is avoiding and
minimizing impacts to resources to the
extent practicable, and complying with
all applicable environmental laws and
regulations. Because of the complexity
of the plan, detailed designs are likely
to be developed and implemented in
phases.
The NPS is adopting the Final EIS,
and will refine its direction in more
focused environmental reviews and
provide site specific impact analysis
prior to implementation of proposed
actions. The NPS will prepare its own
Record of Decision for the Selected
Alternative (4R2) in accordance with 40
CFR 1505.2. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware 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 your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
Peabody Museum of Natural History,
Yale University, New Haven, CT. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from Site 16,
Chandler Lake, Brooks Range, North
Slope Borough, AK.
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 human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Peabody Museum
of Natural History professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Village of Anaktuvuk Pass.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1956, human remains representing
one individual were removed from a
Nunamiut burial site identified as Site
16, Chandler Lake, Brooks Range, North
Slope Borough, AK and donated to the
Peabody Museum of Natural History the
same year. The human remains
represent one individual identified as a
probable male, aged approximately 30–

50 years. No known individuals were
identified. The 21 associated funerary
objects are 3 lots of glass beads, 1 lot of
earthen beads, 1 jade pendant, 1 bone
implement, 1 iron blade with bone
handle, 1 rectangular iron blade, 1 iron
implement, 1 metal scissors fragment, 2
iron bracelets, 1 iron wire fragment, 2
iron blades, 2 lots of iron fragments, 1
bone implement fragment, 1 lot of bone
fragments, 1 lot of hide fragments, and
1 long bone shaft fragment.
Osteological data as well as the
archaeological and geographic contexts
identify these human remains as
representing an individual of Native
American ancestry. A portion of the
funerary objects were identified by
Campbell as typical of Nunamiut
manufacture. The presence of historic
trade objects confirms a post-contact
date for this burial. The region of
Anaktuvuk was, and is, occupied by the
Nunamiut people who are today
represented by the Village of Anaktuvuk
Pass.
Determinations Made by the Peabody
Museum of Natural History
Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Natural History 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 21 objects described in this notice
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.
• 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 associated funerary objects
and the Village of Anaktuvuk Pass.

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

History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
In 1958, seven cultural items were
removed from a Nunamiut burial site
identified as the Ridge Burial,
Anaktuvuk Pass, Brooks Range, North
Slope Borough, AK, and donated to the
Peabody Museum of Natural History the
same year. The seven unassociated
funerary objects are five faunal remains,
one wood fragment, and one lot of
rusted iron fragments.
The archeological context and the
presence of trade materials confirms a
post-contact date for this burial. The
region of Anaktuvuk was, and is,
occupied by the Nunamiut people who
are today represented by the Village of
Anaktuvuk Pass.
In an unknown year, 11 cultural items
were removed by an unknown
individual(s) from a Nunamiut burial
site near Tuluak Lake, Anaktuvuk Pass,
Brooks Range, North Slope Borough,
AK. The cultural items were purchased
from local Nunamiut persons in 1957
and 1958, and donated to the Peabody
Museum of Natural History. The 11
unassociated funerary objects are one
rifle, one brass ramrod fitting, one brass
sling fitting, one lot of lead round ball
bullets, one lot of lead fragments, one
lot of metal springs, one lot of glass
beads, one lot of spalls, one bone
spatula, one antler pendant, and one
biface fragment.
The archeological context and the
presence of trade materials confirms a
post-contact date for this burial. The
region of Anaktuvuk was, and is,
occupied by the Nunamiut people who
are today represented by the Village of
Anaktuvuk Pass.
Determinations Made by the Peabody
Museum of Natural History
Officials of the Peabody Museum of
Natural History have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 18 cultural items described above
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
