History and Description of the Cultural Item(s) In 1958 and 1959, three cultural items were removed from CA–SDI–525 (W–9) in San Diego County, CA. Carl L. Hubbs, G. Shumway, J. Moriarity, and Claude Warren conducted excavations during the construction of two homes on Scripps Estate Association Lots. The site was dated to the Middle Holocene (between 7,000 and 5,500 B.P.) based on radiocarbon dating. In 1959, the collections were sent to UCLA for curation. 16 burials were uncovered, of which seven were left in situ, two burials (9 and 10) were supposedly sent to UCLA, and the rest were curated with J.R. Moriarty, UC Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Burials 9 and 10 cannot currently be located, although they are reported to have been sent to ‘‘Stanford’’ for dating and despite extensive investigations. Funerary objects were identified in the collections as being removed from these two burials. There were three objects including one stone metate, one shell fragment, and one soil sample. Since the represented burials have not been located these burial items are eligible as NAGPRA unassociated funerary objects. The site detailed in the paragraphs preceding has been identified through consultation to be within the aboriginal territory of the Kumeyaay people.

AGENCY: This document is the Final Sale Notice (FSN) for the sale of commercial wind energy leases on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) offshore Massachusetts. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) will offer three leases: Lease OCS–A 0520, Lease OCS–A 0521, and Lease OCS–A 0522 (Lease Areas), which are located within the former Leases OCS–A 0502 and Lease OCS–A 0503 that were unsold during the Atlantic Wind Lease Sale–4 (ATLW–4) on January 29, 2015.

The FSN contains information pertaining to the areas available for leasing, certain provisions and conditions of the leases, auction details, the lease form, criteria for evaluating competing bids, award procedures, appeal procedures, and lease execution. The issuance of the lease(s) resulting from this sale would not constitute an approval of project-specific plans to develop offshore wind energy. Such plans, if submitted by the lessee, would be subject to subsequent environmental, technical, and public reviews prior to a decision on whether the proposed development should be authorized. DATES: BOEM will hold a mock auction for the bidders starting at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on December 11, 2018.

In response to the PSN, BOEM received new qualification materials from thirteen entities that BOEM has determined to be qualified to participate in this sale, and four affirmations of interest from entities that were qualified to participate in the first Massachusetts Lease Sale (ATLW–4) in January of 2015. In addition, the two entities that submitted unsolicited lease requests for the Lease Areas have also qualified, resulting in a total of 19 qualified entities. BOEM made several changes from the description of the lease sale format and leases that were published in the PSN. The primary changes are: The lease sale no longer contains a non-monetary bidding credit, and will instead use a straight ascending bid format; the two proposed lease areas have been redivided into three Lease Areas; each lease now contains conditions related to vessel transit corridors and setbacks between adjacent leases; and the operations term of each lease has been extended from 25 years to 33 years.

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 the Fowler Museum at UCLA 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

History and Description of the Cultural Item(s)

    In 1958 and 1959, three cultural items were removed from CA-SDI-525 
(W-9) in San Diego County, CA. Carl L. Hubbs, G. Shumway, J. Moriarity, 
and Claude Warren conducted excavations during the construction of two 
homes on Scripps Estate Association Lots. The site was dated to the 
Middle Holocene (between 7,000 and 5,500 B.P.) based on radiocarbon 
dating. In 1959, the collections were sent to UCLA for curation. 16 
burials were uncovered, of which seven were left in situ, two burials 
(9 and 10) were supposedly sent to UCLA, and the rest were curated with 
J.R. Moriarty, UC Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Burials 9 and 10 
cannot currently be located, although they are reported to have been 
sent to ``Stanford'' for dating and despite extensive investigations. 
Funerary objects were identified in the collections as being removed 
from these two burials. There were three objects including one stone 
metate, one shell fragment, and one soil sample. Since the represented 
burials have not been located these burial items are eligible as NAGPRA 
unassociated funerary objects.
    The site detailed in the paragraphs preceding has been identified 
through consultation to be within the aboriginal territory of the 
Kumeyaay people. Based

[[Page 53089]]

on archeological evidence, geographic location, ethnographic 
information, and oral history evidence, these funerary objects are 
consistent with those of ancestral Kumeyaay people, represented by the 
Campo Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the Campo Indian Reservation, 
California; Capitan Grande Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of 
California (Barona Group of Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indians of 
the Barona Reservation, California; Viejas (Baron Long) Group of 
Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indians of the Viejas Reservation, 
California); Ewiiaapaayp Band of Kumeyaay Indians, California; Iipay 
Nation of Santa Ysabel, California (previously listed as the Santa 
Ysabel Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the Santa Ysabel 
Reservation); Inaja Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the Inaja and 
Cosmit Reservation, California; Jamul Indian Village of California; La 
Posta Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the La Posta Indian 
Reservation, California; Manzanita Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of 
the Manzanita Reservation, California; Mesa Grande Band of Diegueno 
Mission Indians of the Mesa Grande Reservation, California; San Pasqual 
Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of California; and Sycuan Band of the 
Kumeyaay Nation (hereafter referred to as ``The Tribes'').

Determinations Made by the Fowler Museum at UCLA

    Officials of the Fowler Museum at UCLA have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the three 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 identity that can be reasonably traced between the 
unassociated funerary objects and The Tribes.

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 Wendy G. Teeter, Ph.D., Fowler Museum at 
UCLA, Box 951549, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1549, telephone (310) 825-1864, 
email [email protected], by November 19, 2018. After that date, if 
no additional claimants have come forward, transfer of control of the 
unassociated funerary objects to The Tribes may proceed.
