conservation measures described in the
HCP.
Reduced Permit Duration: Under this
alternative, the Service would issue an
ITP for a term of 15 years (from the date
of issuance) to LCRA TSC to authorize
incidental take of covered species that
could result from covered activities.
This alternative would implement all
minimization and mitigation measures
identified for the proposed action, but
the permit would be issued for a shorter
duration. A reduced permit duration
would also reduce the total amount of
incidental take authorized for most
species, while still providing a
streamlined permit process to LCRA
TSC during the ITP duration. Projects
extending beyond the 15-year permit
could require additional permitting.
EPA’s Role in the EIS Process
In addition to this notice, EPA is
publishing a notice in the Federal
Register announcing dEIS and for
LCRA’s TSC HCP, as required under the
Clean Air Act, section 309. The EPA is
charged with reviewing all Federal
agencies’ EISs and commenting on the
adequacy and acceptability of the
environmental impacts of proposed
actions in EISs.
The EPA also serves as the repository
(EIS database) for EISs that Federal
agencies prepare. All EISs must be filed
with EPA, which publishes a notice of
availability on Fridays in the Federal
Register. For more information, see
https://www.epa.gov/nepa. You may
search for EPA comments on EISs, along
with EISs themselves, at https://

cultural item under the control of the
Birmingham Museum of Art,
Birmingham, AL, that meets the
definition of an unassociated funerary
object under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
This notice is published as part of the

this notice are the sole responsibility of

History and Description of the Cultural
Item
Sometime in the early 20th century,
this cultural item was removed from a
grave in Wrangell, AK. It was acquired
by Axel Rasmussen before his death in
1945. In 1948, it was acquired by the
Portland Art Museum (PAM). In 1955–
56, the PAM deaccessioned the object
and sold it to the Birmingham Museum
of Art. The unassociated funerary object
is a Woodzakaa (Cane), museum
accession number 1956.48.218.
Based on consultation with the
Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida
Indian Tribes, the Birmingham Museum
of Art can reasonably show that this
unassociated funerary object is
culturally affiliated with the Tlingit and
Haida Indian Tribes.
