SUMMARY:

Jkt 250001
The NPS
SRC program is authorized under
section 808 of the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act (16
U.S.C. 3118). The SRCs hold meetings to
develop NPS subsistence program
recommendations and advise on related
regulatory proposals and resource
management issues.
Each SRC is composed of nine
members: (a) Three members appointed
by the Secretary of the Interior; (b) three
members appointed by the Governor of
the State of Alaska; and (c) three
members appointed by a Regional
Advisory Council (RAC), established
pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 3115, which has
jurisdiction within the area in which the
park is located. Each of the three
members appointed by the RAC must be
a member of either the RAC or a local
advisory committee within the region
who also engages in subsistence uses
within the Park or Park Monument.
We are now seeking nominations for
those three members of each of the SRCs
listed above. These members are to be
appointed by the Secretary of the
Interior.
Members will be appointed for a term
of three years. Members of the SRC
serve without compensation. However,
while away from their homes or regular
places of business in the performance of
services for the SRC, and as approved by
the Designated Federal Officer (DFO),
members may be allowed travel
expenses, including per diem in lieu of
subsistence, in the same manner as
persons employed intermittently in
Government service are allowed such
expenses under Section 5703 of Title 5
of the United States Code.
SRC meetings will take place at such
times as designated by the DFO.
Members are expected to make every
effort to attend all meetings. Members
may not appoint deputies or alternates.
We are seeking nominations for
members to represent subsistence users
on each of the seven SRCs listed above.
All those interested in serving as
members, including current members
whose terms are expiring, must follow
the same nomination process.
Nominations should be typed and
should include a resume providing an
adequate description of the nominee’s
qualifications, including information
that would enable the Department of the
Interior to make an informed decision
regarding meeting the membership
requirements of the SRC, and to permit
the Department to contact a potential
member.

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 and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
University of Oregon Museum of
Natural and Cultural History, Eugene,
OR. The human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed from
Klamath County, OR.
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 human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
ADDRESSES:
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
was made by University of Oregon
Museum of Natural and Cultural History
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Alturas Indian
Rancheria, California; Klamath Tribes;
Pit River Tribe, California (includes XL
Ranch, Big Ben, Likely, Lookout,
Montgomery Creek and Roaring Creek
Rancherias); Round Valley Indian
Tribes, Round Valley Reservation,
California (previously listed as the
Round Valley Indian Tribes of the
Round Valley Reservation, California);
Susanville Indian Rancheria, California;
and The Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma
(hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
In 1962, human remains representing,
at minimum, three individuals were
removed from Big Boulder Village, site
35KL18, Klamath County, OR, during
legally authorized excavations
conducted by University of Oregon
archeologists. The human remains were
subsequently transferred to the museum
(Acc. #230) and consist of three adults
of indeterminate sex (Cat. #11–525). No
known individuals were identified. The
nine associated funerary objects are
three worked flakes, three obsidian
fragments, one lot of fiber pieces, one
scraper, and one projectile point.
According to written materials on
excavations at Big Boulder Village, the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:21 Nov 26, 2019
Jkt 250001
historic range places the site in
Klamath-Modoc territory, while artifact
and feature comparisons suggest either
Modoc or Achumawi affiliation. All
burials precede house construction and
may date to early prehistoric times
(5800 B.C. to 2800 B.C.). Historical
documents, ethnographic sources, and
oral history indicate that the Klamath,
Modoc, and Achumawi peoples have
occupied this area of south-central
Oregon and north-central California.
The human remains are determined to
be Native American based on
archeological context and are reasonably
believed to be Modoc or Achumawi.
The Modoc, and Achumawi are
represented today by the Alturas Indian
Rancheria, California; Klamath Tribes;
Pit River Tribe, California (includes XL
Ranch, Big Ben, Likely, Lookout,
Montgomery Creek and Roaring Creek
Rancherias); Round Valley Indian
Tribes, Round Valley Reservation,
California (previously listed as the
Round Valley Indian Tribes of the
Round Valley Reservation, California);
Susanville Indian Rancheria, California;
and The Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma.
Determinations Made by the University
of Oregon Museum of Natural and
Cultural History
Officials of the University of Oregon
Museum of Natural and Cultural History
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of three
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the nine objects described in this notice
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.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and associated 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 request transfer of control
of these human remains and associated
