History and Description of the Remains
In 1936, human remains representing,
at minimum, three individuals were
removed from the Falls Creek Rock
Shelters (5LP1434) in La Plata County,
CO. The human remains were collected
by the National Youth Administration,
under the direction of Helen Daniels, at
the South Shelter of the Falls Creek
Rock Shelters in June 1936. The human
remains remained in Daniels’
possession until they were donated to
the La Plata County Historical Society in
1989. The La Plata County Historical
Society completed a NAGPRA inventory
in 2018, and identified three individuals
from the Falls Creek Rock Shelters. In
2018, physical transfer of the human
remains to the San Juan National Forest
took place. Individual 1 is an infant of
about 2 months of age (range 1–3
months). Individual 2 is an adult (18+
years), sex indeterminate. Individual 3
is an infant aged 5–7 months. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The Falls Creek Rock Shelters have
been identified as a Basketmaker II
habitation site, with the main
occupation occurring between 300 B.C.
and A.D. 400, based upon tree-ring
dates. The preponderance of evidence
derived from the archeological,
biological, oral traditions, and
E:\FR\FM\28JAN1.SGM
28JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 18 / Tuesday, January 28, 2020 / Notices
geographic lines of evidence indicate
that the Basketmaker II populations of
the Durango/Upper Animas District, in
Southwest Colorado are culturally
affiliated with the modern Puebloan
people (Coleman 2013, 12), represented
by the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Kewa
Pueblo, New Mexico (formerly Pueblo of
Santo Domingo); Ohkay Owingeh, New
Mexico (previously listed as the Pueblo
of San Juan); Pueblo of Acoma, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Cochiti, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Isleta, New Mexico; Pueblo of
Jemez, New Mexico; Pueblo of Laguna,
New Mexico; Pueblo of Nambe, New
Mexico; Pueblo of Picuris, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Pojoaque, New Mexico;
Pueblo of San Felipe, New Mexico;
Pueblo of San Ildefonso, New Mexico;
Pueblo of Sandia, New Mexico; Pueblo
of Santa Ana., New Mexico; Pueblo of
Santa Clara, New Mexico; Pueblo of
Taos, New Mexico; Pueblo of Tesuque,
New Mexico; Pueblo of Zia, New
Mexico; Ysleta del Sur Pueblo
(previously listed as the Ysleta Del Sur
Pueblo of Texas); and the Zuni Tribe of
the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico
(hereafter referred to as ‘‘The Affiliated
Tribes’’).
This cultural determination is based
upon an extensive review of published
and unpublished information, including
information provided by Indian Tribes
during consultations conducted
between 1995 and 2015 and
archeological evidence consisting of
chronological data, artifacts, and rock
art. In addition, recent DNA research, as
well as Hopi and Zuni oral traditions,
demonstrate an affiliation between
Basketmaker II populations and modern
Puebloans.

In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
On December 15, 2016, we published
a Federal Register notice soliciting
comments on this collection of
information for 60 days, ending on
February 13, 2017 (81 FR 90867). We
received one request by phone, from the
Senior Attorney Advisor with the Office
of Legal Counsel, U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
on December 30, 2016. The request was
to review the forms and supporting
statement associated with this proposed
information collection. We responded
on January 12, 2017 that the package
was still under development. Once the
surveys were complete, we responded to
request feedback on the final
instrument; however, we did not receive
a reply, despite several follow-up
attempts.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
NPS, (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the NPS enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the NPS minimize the burden of
this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
