The AAR is the output of the exercise process. Stakeholders use the report to identify strengths or areas in which they can assign resources to mitigate risk and enhance the security posture within their organization. Based on industry population estimates and growth rates, and interest generated amongst the transportation modes during the years following EXIS’ release to the public, TSA estimates that there will be approximately 7,885 primary and secondary access users in Year 1, 9,447 users in Year 2, and 11,320 users in Year 3, for an average annual respondents estimate of 9,551. TSA estimates a proportion of primary access users and secondary users will spend approximately 3.5 hours per EXIS user inputting the information described above. TSA estimates secondary users will also spend approximately 0.25 hours completing a survey. Given this information, the total annual hourly burden for EXIS’s collection of information is 4,820 hours.

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 under the control of the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department. The human remains were removed from a salvage operation in Randolph County, AR. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service’s administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d). 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. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. History and Description of the Remains In 1888, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals were recovered from site 3RA387 in Randolph County, AR. The human remains were discovered during a salvage operation of site 3RA387 as part of the re-routing of Highway 304. Excavations were undertaken by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department. Currently, the remains are being stored at the Arkansas Archeological Survey’s curation facility. The gender and age of the human remains were undetermined. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. No diagnostic artifacts were found at site 3RA387 to indicate when these human remains were buried. The cultural and temporal identity of these human remains is difficult to discern and they cannot be clearly culturally affiliated with an Indian tribe. Determinations Made by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department Officials of the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of two individuals of Native American ancestry.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 
invite the public to comment on the following applications for a permit 
to conduct activities intended to recover and enhance the survival of 
endangered species. With some exceptions, the Endangered Species Act of 
1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.; ESA), prohibits certain 
activities that may impact endangered species, unless a Federal permit 
allows such activity. The ESA also requires that we invite public 
comment before issuing these permits.

Background

    The ESA prohibits certain activities with endangered and threatened 
species unless authorized by a Federal permit. The ESA and our 
implementing regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) provide for the issuance of such permits and require 
that we invite public comment before issuing permits for activities 
involving endangered species.
    A recovery permit issued by us under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA 
authorizes the permittee to conduct activities with endangered or 
threatened species for scientific purposes that promote recovery or for 
enhancement of propagation or survival of the species. Our regulations 
implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found at 50 CFR 
17.22 for endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened 
wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species, and 50 CFR 
17.72 for threatened plant species.
    In accordance with section 10(c) of the ESA; Executive Order 13576, 
``Delivering an Efficient, Effective, and Accountable Government''; and 
the President's Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and 
Agencies of January 21, 2009, ``Transparency and Open Government'' (74 
FR 4685; January 26, 2009), all of which call on Federal agencies to 
promote openness and transparency in Government by disclosing 
information to the public, we invite public comment on these permit 
applications before final action is taken.

Applications Available for Review and Comment

    We invite local, State, Tribal, and Federal agencies and the public 
to comment on the following applications. Please refer to the permit
