SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
As part of the Oil Pollution Act of
1990, Congress passed the Oil Terminal
and Oil Tanker Environmental
Oversight and Monitoring Act of 1990
(the Act), 33 U.S.C. 2732, to foster a
long-term partnership among industry,
government, and local communities in
overseeing compliance with
environmental concerns in the
operation of crude oil terminals and oil
tankers.
The President has delegated his
authority under 33 U.S.C. 2732(o)
respecting certification of advisory
councils, or groups, subject to the Act to
the Secretary of the Department of
Homeland Security. Section 8(g) of
Executive Order 12777, (56 FR 54757,
October 22, 1991), as amended by
section 34 of Executive Order 13286 (68
FR 10619, March 5, 2003). The Secretary
redelegated that authority to the
Commandant of the USCG. Department
of Homeland Security Delegation No.
0170.1, paragraph 80 of section II. The
Commandant redelegated that authority
to the Chief, Office of Marine Safety,
Security and Environmental Protection
(G–M) on March 19, 1992 (letter #5402).
The Assistant Commandant for
Marine Safety and Environmental
Protection (G–M), redelegated
recertification authority for advisory
councils, or groups, to the Commander,
Seventeenth Coast Guard District on
February 26, 1999 (letter #16450).
On July 7, 1993, the USCG published
a policy statement, ‘‘Alternative
Voluntary Advisory Groups, Prince
William Sound and Cook Inlet’’ (58 FR
36504), to clarify the factors considered
in making the determination as to
whether advisory councils, or groups,
should be certified in accordance with
the Act.
On September 16, 2002, the USCG
published a policy statement, 67 FR
58440, which changed the
recertification procedures such that
applicants are required to provide the
USCG with comprehensive information
every three years (triennially). For each
of the two years between the triennial
application procedures, applicants
submit a letter requesting recertification
that includes a description of any
substantive changes to the information
provided at the previous triennial
recertification. Further, public comment
is only solicited during the triennial
comprehensive review.

Year (FY) 2017 priority list of grant
awards for the wildlife and sport fish
conservation projects from the
Association of Fish and Wildlife
Agencies (Association). As required by
the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration
Programs Improvement Act of 2000, the
Association submits a list of projects to
us each year to consider for funding
under the Multistate Conservation Grant
Program. We have reviewed the list and
recommended all for award to the
Director. The Director approved the list
of projects for award and we have
awarded all projects from the list.

Act (16 U.S.C. 777 et seq.) and
established the Multistate Conservation
Grant Program. The Improvement Act
authorizes us to award grants of up to
$3 million annually from funds
available under each of the restoration
acts, for a total of up to $6 million
annually. Projects can be funded from
both funds, depending on the project
activities. We may award grants to
projects from a list of priority projects
recommended to us by the Association.
The Service Director, exercising the
authority of the Secretary of the Interior,
need not fund all projects on the list,
but all projects funded must be on the
list.
The Improvement Act provides that
funding for Multistate grants is available
in the year it is appropriated and for the
following year. Total funding available
for new FY 2017 Multistate
Conservation grants was $2,522,000.
This total was made up of funding that
was carried over from FY 2016, added
to the funding that was previously
sequestered, and subtracted committed
funds ($3,261,027) for FY 2017. Those
committed funds were directed into the
three components of the 2016 National
Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and
Wildlife-Associated Recreation (parts A
and B).
Grantees under this program may use
funds for sport fisheries and wildlife
management and research projects,
boating access development, hunter
safety and education, aquatic education,
fish and wildlife habitat improvements,
and other purposes consistent with the
enabling legislation.
To be eligible for funding, a project
must benefit fish and/or wildlife
conservation for at least 26 States, a
majority of the States in any one Service
Region, or one of the regional
associations of State fish and wildlife
agencies. We may award grants to a
State, a group of States, or one or more
nongovernmental organizations. For the
purpose of carrying out the National
Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and
Wildlife-Associated Recreation, we may
award grants to the Service, if requested
by the Association, or to a State or a
group of States. Also, the Association
requires all project proposals to address
its National Conservation Needs, which
the Association announces annually at
the same time it requests proposals.
Further, applicants must provide
certification that no activities conducted
under a Multistate Conservation Grant
will promote or encourage opposition to
regulated hunting or trapping of
wildlife, or to regulated angling or
taking of fish.
The Association committees and
interested nongovernmental
organizations that represent
conservation organizations, sportsmen’s
and women’s organizations, and
industries that support or promote
fishing, hunting, trapping, recreational
shooting, bowhunting, or archery review
and rank eligible project proposals. The
Association’s National Grants
Committee recommends a final list of
priority projects to the directors of the
State fish and wildlife agencies for their
approval by majority vote. By statute,
the Association then transmits the final
approved list to the Service for funding
under the Multistate Conservation Grant
program by October 1 of the fiscal year.
For FY 2017, the Association sent us a
list of 17 new projects, plus the three
previously approved components of the
2016 National Survey of Fishing,
Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated
Recreation that they recommended for
funding. The Director approved all
projects on this list and all have been
awarded. The list follows:

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of associated funerary objects under the
control of the Brooklyn Museum,
Brooklyn, NY. The associated funerary
objects were removed from Canyon del
Muerto, Apache County, AZ.
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 associated funerary objects.
The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the
associated funerary objects was made by
the Brooklyn Museum professional staff
in consultation with representatives of
Colorado River Indian Tribes of the
Colorado River Indian Reservation,
Arizona and California; Hopi Tribe of
Arizona; Navajo Nation, Arizona, New
Mexico & Utah; Pueblo of Acoma, New
Mexico; Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah
& Ouray Reservation, Utah; and Zuni
Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New
Mexico (hereafter referred to as ‘‘The
Consulted Tribes’’).
History and Description of the
Associated Funerary Objects
The associated funerary objects and
the mummified remains of a man were
removed from an unidentified site
within Canyon del Muerto in Apache
County, AZ, by Charles L. Day at an
unknown date prior to April 1903. In
April 1903, Brooklyn Museum curator
Stewart Culin purchased the associated
funerary objects and human remains
from Day. Culin’s catalog cards indicate
that the associated funerary objects were
found with the human remains. In 1907,
the human remains were transferred to
the Field Museum of Natural History,
Chicago, IL. The human remains can be
found in the Field Museum of Natural
History’s culturally unidentifiable
inventory. The two associated funerary
objects are one fragmented arrow shaft
and one bow with cord.
The arrow fragments and bow are
Ancestral Puebloan and date to the
Pueblo I–III Periods (700–1300 C.E.).
This determination was made by Susan
Kennedy Zeller, former Associate
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Curator of Native American Art, on
August 8, 1996, on the basis of parallel
materials found within the archeological
literature. Canyon del Muerto is located
within the Western Ancestral Puebloan
cultural area. Archeologically, this
cultural area is characterized by a
temporal shift from subterranean pit
houses to above-ground masonry rooms
surrounding plazas, rectangular kivas,
and a wide variety of regionally distinct
painted ceramics. Other archeological
sites within Canyon del Muerto indicate
sustained Ancestral Puebloan
occupation from the late Basketmaker II
through the Pueblo III Periods. After the
start of the Pueblo III Period, around
1300 C.E., the archeological evidence
suggests that much of the population
living within Canyon del Muerto moved
to other settlements.
The associated funerary objects were
examined during consultations by
representatives from The Tribes during
1996 and 1997, as part of the Brooklyn
Museum’s 1996 NAGPRA Grant.
The Colorado River Tribes of the
Colorado River Reservation, Arizona
and California are composed of four
distinct tribes: the Mohave,
Chemehuevi, Hopi, and Navajo.
Evidence for a cultural affiliation
between the Ancestral Puebloan
occupants of Canyon del Muerto and the
Colorado River Tribes of the Colorado
River Reservation, Arizona and
California includes similarities in
material culture and architectural
design, as well as archeological data and
oral tradition. Canyon del Muerto lies
within traditional Hopi territory, and
Hopi oral tradition speaks of clan
migrations through the Canyon de
Chelly region, of which Canyon del
Muerto is a part.
Evidence for cultural affiliation
between the Ancestral Puebloan
occupants of Canyon del Muerto and the
Hopi Tribe of Arizona includes
similarities in material culture and
architectural design, as well as
archeological data, geographic
proximity, and oral tradition. The Hopi
Tribe of Arizona considers all of
Arizona to either lie within traditional
Hopi territory or to be a territory
through which Hopi clans migrated.
Evidence for cultural affiliation
between the Ancestral Puebloan
occupants of Canyon del Muerto and the
Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico &
Utah, includes expert opinion and

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, announce the Fiscal
Year (FY) 2017 priority list of grant awards for the wildlife and sport
fish conservation projects from the Association of Fish and Wildlife
Agencies (Association). As required by the Wildlife and Sport Fish
Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000, the Association submits a
list of projects to us each year to consider for funding under the
Multistate Conservation Grant Program. We have reviewed the list and
recommended all for award to the Director. The Director approved the
list of projects for award and we have awarded all projects from the
list.
ADDRESSES: John C. Stremple, Multistate Conservation Grants Program

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Fish and Wildlife Programs Improvement
and National Wildlife Refuge System Centennial Act of 2000 (Improvement
Act, Pub. L. 106-408) amended the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife
Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669 et seq.) and the Dingell-Johnson Sport
Fish Restoration
[[Page 42675]]
Act (16 U.S.C. 777 et seq.) and established the Multistate Conservation
Grant Program. The Improvement Act authorizes us to award grants of up
to $3 million annually from funds available under each of the
restoration acts, for a total of up to $6 million annually. Projects
can be funded from both funds, depending on the project activities. We
may award grants to projects from a list of priority projects
recommended to us by the Association. The Service Director, exercising
the authority of the Secretary of the Interior, need not fund all
projects on the list, but all projects funded must be on the list.
The Improvement Act provides that funding for Multistate grants is
available in the year it is appropriated and for the following year.
Total funding available for new FY 2017 Multistate Conservation grants
was $2,522,000. This total was made up of funding that was carried over
from FY 2016, added to the funding that was previously sequestered, and
subtracted committed funds ($3,261,027) for FY 2017. Those committed
funds were directed into the three components of the 2016 National
Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation (parts A
and B).
Grantees under this program may use funds for sport fisheries and
wildlife management and research projects, boating access development,
hunter safety and education, aquatic education, fish and wildlife
habitat improvements, and other purposes consistent with the enabling
legislation.
To be eligible for funding, a project must benefit fish and/or
wildlife conservation for at least 26 States, a majority of the States
in any one Service Region, or one of the regional associations of State
fish and wildlife agencies. We may award grants to a State, a group of
States, or one or more nongovernmental organizations. For the purpose
of carrying out the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-
Associated Recreation, we may award grants to the Service, if requested
by the Association, or to a State or a group of States. Also, the
Association requires all project proposals to address its National
Conservation Needs, which the Association announces annually at the
same time it requests proposals. Further, applicants must provide
certification that no activities conducted under a Multistate
Conservation Grant will promote or encourage opposition to regulated
hunting or trapping of wildlife, or to regulated angling or taking of
fish.
The Association committees and interested nongovernmental
organizations that represent conservation organizations, sportsmen's
and women's organizations, and industries that support or promote
fishing, hunting, trapping, recreational shooting, bowhunting, or
archery review and rank eligible project proposals. The Association's
National Grants Committee recommends a final list of priority projects
to the directors of the State fish and wildlife agencies for their
approval by majority vote. By statute, the Association then transmits
the final approved list to the Service for funding under the Multistate
Conservation Grant program by October 1 of the fiscal year. For FY
2017, the Association sent us a list of 17 new projects, plus the three
previously approved components of the 2016 National Survey of Fishing,
Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation that they recommended for
funding. The Director approved all projects on this list and all have
been awarded. The list follows:
