Receipt of this information supports the Department’s responsibilities for the management of its museum collections. The information that DOI seeks consists of the following: daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES A. Catalog Records; B. Accession Records; C. Facility Checklist for Spaces Housing DOI Museum Property (Checklist); D. Inventory of Museum Collections (Inventory); and E. Input on Collections from Lands Administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior that are Located at NonFederal Facilities (Input Form). Although the majority of DOI’s collections are housed in various bureau facilities across the nation, approximately ten percent (an estimated more than 25 million objects) are located at approximately 880 nonFederal repositories, primarily state, tribal, and local museums and university departments. Most of the DOI museum artifacts, specimens, and archives housed in non-Federal repositories resulted from authorized scientific research projects on Federal lands, and include collections from the disciplines of archaeology, biology, geology, and paleontology, as well as associated project documentation. Many of these non-Federal repositories have successful, longstanding relationships with the Department. DOI museum objects cared for in nonFederal repositories are those artifacts, specimens, and archives that are established as Federal property under Federal law, implementing regulations, and Executive Orders. Common law also confers rights to landowners, including the Federal government, such as ownership of property, resources, and other tangible assets existing on or originating from those lands, unless those rights were previously relinquished, sold, awarded, or otherwise reassigned. Also, permits and other agreements for the collection of artifacts and specimens from public lands managed at the time by the Department further establish Federal ownership. In order to maintain accountability of and facilitate access to DOI museum objects, the objects must be documented in the Interior Collection Management System (ICMS), its successor, or in another collection management database from which the necessary data can be imported into ICMS, or its successor. DOI policy requires that all permitees conducting authorized scientific research and authorized individuals performing compliance activities on VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:04 Apr 12, 2018 Jkt 244001 DOI-managed lands must ensure that any retained museum specimens or objects collected during a project are: (1) Accessioned and cataloged in ICMS, or its successor, according to DOI standards; and (2) housed in an appropriate museum repository that meets DOI museum standards. These requirements ensure the collections’ long-term preservation, protection, and accessibility for research access and use. The majority of current scientific research projects and care of the resulting collections meet these criteria.
