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 Thomas
Burke Memorial Washington State
Museum, University of Washington,
Seattle, WA, that meet the definition of
sacred objects and objects of cultural
patrimony 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
American cultural items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
History and Description of the Cultural
Item(s)
Between 1920–1953, five cultural
items were removed from Wrangell, AK,
by Mr. Walter C. Waters. In 1953, the
items were sold to the Burke Museum
by his widow. The five sacred objects/
objects of cultural patrimony are Keet
S’aaxw, Killerwhale hat (catalog number
1–1436), a Aanka´awu Wo´odzagaa, Rich
Man’s Cane, also known as Keet
Wo´odzakaa, Killerwhale Cane (catalog
number 1–1443), Sa´ax, L’axkeit, Marmot
Mask (catalog number 1–1442), Xoots
Shakee.a´t, Bear Headdress (catalog
number 1–1447) and Xoots Kooda´s’,
Bear Shirt (catalog number 1–1493).

At an unknown date, one cultural
item was removed from Wrangell, AK.
The item, a Gunakadeit s’eik daakeit,
Sea Monster Pipe (catalog number
2.5E561), was acquired by Leonard M.
Lasser of Windsor, CT, who donated the
pipe to the Burke Museum in 1972.
Sometime between 1926–1937, one
cultural item was collected by Axel
Rasmussen in Wrangell AK. In 1948, the
Portland Art Museum purchased Axel
Rasmussen’s collection, including the
Xoots L’axkeit, Grizzly Bear Mask
(catalog number 2.5E604). They later
deaccessioned the piece, and it was
acquired by Bill Holm, who then
donated it to the Burke Museum in
1974.
These seven objects all originate from
Wrangell AK. This area is the home of
Naanya.a´ayı´ Clan of the Tlingit people
of Southeastern Alaska. Several of these
objects are visible in historic
photographs including a photograph of
Chief Shakes V (Kaawishte´) laying in
state ca. 1878, and a photograph of Chief
Shakes VI (Gush Tlein) along with the
possessions of the Naanya.a´ayı´ clan
inside X’atgoo Hı´t (Mudshark House)
around 1900. Information provided by
the Tribes indicates that the Naa
Shaadeihani, (head man) or Hit s’aasti
(House Leader) were caretakers of these
objects, but the objects were
communally owned by the clan. These
leaders and their relatives were not
allowed to make independent decisions
to dispose of or alienate clan property.
Additionally, these objects are an
integral part of ceremonial practices of
the Tlingit people and are used during
ceremonial activities to represent and
unify clan members. Today the
Naanya.a´ayı´ clan is represented by the
Wrangell Cooperative Association and
the Central Council of the Tlingit &
Haida Indian Tribes.
Determinations Made by the Burke
Museum
Officials of the Burke Museum have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C),
the seven cultural items described above
are specific ceremonial objects needed
by traditional Native American religious
leaders for the practice of traditional
Native American religions by their
present-day adherents.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D),
the seven cultural items described above
have ongoing historical, traditional, or
cultural importance central to the
Native American group or culture itself,
rather than property owned by an
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced

between the sacred objects, and objects
of cultural patrimony and the Central
Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian
Tribes and the Wrangell Cooperative
Association.
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
Sven Haakanson, Curator of Native
American Anthropology, Burke
Museum, University of Washington, Box
353010, Seattle, WA 98195, telephone
(206) 543–3210, email svenh@uw.edu,
by May 20, 2020. After that date, if no
additional claimants have come
forward, transfer of control of the sacred
objects and objects of cultural
patrimony to the Central Council of the
Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes and the
Wrangell Cooperative Association may
proceed.
The Burke Museum is responsible for
notifying Central Council of the Tlingit
& Haida Indian Tribes and the Wrangell
Cooperative Association that this notice
has been published.

The Bureau of Safety and

transfer of ownership and reuse of
certain pipelines that were
decommissioned-in-place in the Gulf of
Mexico (GOM).
DATES: Submissions of competing
interest are due by May 20, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kevin Karl, Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement, Deputy
Regional Director, at (504) 736–2632, or
by email to: kevin.karl@bsee.gov.
Background: BSEE recently received
written requests to reuse five separate
pipeline segments in the GOM that were
previously decommissioned-in-place
(DIP) in accordance with regulatory
authority currently found at 30 CFR
250.1750 and 250.1751. The relevant
pipeline segments were DIP by prior
right-of-way (ROW) holders between
August 2003 and December 2010. None
of the parties requesting reuse were
prior ROW holders of these segments.
BSEE has determined that, pursuant
to regulation, Outer Continental Shelf
21885
(OCS) pipelines and related
infrastructure, which are DIP for more
than one year, become property of the
United States and may be transferred to
private parties. BSEE received requests
from private parties seeking to acquire
various pipeline segments from the
United States, as set forth in the table
below:

Purpose: The Department of the
Interior has determined that the subject
pipeline segments are subject to
disposition pursuant to 40 U.S.C. 701
and General Services Administration
Federal Management Regulations at part
102–36. BSEE is providing notice that,
until May 20, 2020, we will accept
submissions of competing interest for
acquisition of the listed segments.
While a request for a ROW will
eventually be required pursuant to 30
CFR part 250 Subpart J to maintain and
re-use the pipeline segment(s), your
response to this Notice should focus on
proposed terms, conditions, and
appropriate instruments to be used to
transfer ownership of the pipeline from
the United States to you in a manner
that shifts responsibility for the pipeline
and any future operations and
maintenance, as well as all
decommissioning obligations.

BSEE will evaluate and respond to all
