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 Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Cleveland, OH, that meet the definition of unassociated funerary objects and sacred 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 American cultural items. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consultation A detailed assessment of the cultural items was made by CMNH staff in consultation with representatives of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA). History and Description of the Cultural Items In 1935, six Hawaiian burial tapa cloths were removed from ancient Native Hawaiian corpses in burial caves on Hawai1i Island by Glenn W. Russ of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum (BPBM). The exact location of the burial caves is unknown. At some time soon after the collection of the burial cloths, Russ transferred them to D’ Alte Welch, who also worked at BPBM. In 1976, Welch, who became a professor at John Carroll University in Ohio, donated the burial tapas to CMNH. The accession numbers for these six items are #1976– 03: CMNH #s 8460, 8464, 8470, 8476, 8480, 8482. Welch also donated to CMNH one 22-page scrapbook (CMNH #8458) containing burial tapa fragments. In the early 20th century, one cultural item, a ‘‘Hawaiian necklace’’ (lei niho palaoa) made of human hair, was acquired by Mrs. H.F. Lyman. It is unknown from where in Hawaii the lei niho palaoa had been removed or the circumstances of its removal. In 1922, Mrs. Lyman donated the lei niho palaoa to CMNH (accession #7, CMNH# 1682). CMNH has determined that the lei niho palaoa is authentic and is used in traditional Native Hawaiian religious ceremonies. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:18 Dec 03, 2020 Jkt 253001 Determinations Made by the Cleveland Museum of Natural History The Cleveland Museum of Natural History have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the one 22-page scrapbook of burial tapa fragments and the six burial tapa cloths 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 Native Hawaiian individuals. • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), the one lei niho palaoa described above is a specific ceremonial object needed by traditional Native Hawaiian religious leaders for the practice of traditional Native Hawaiian religions by their present-day adherents. • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the cultural objects and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Additional Requestors and Disposition Lineal descendants or representatives of any Native Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to submit a claim for these cultural items should submit a written request with information in support of the claim to Dr. Brian Redmond, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, 1 Wade Oval Drive, Cleveland, OH 44106, telephone (216) 231–4600 Ext. 3301, email bredmond@ cmnh.org or Amanda McGee, telephone (216) 231–4600 Ext. 3275, email amcgee@cmnh.org, by January 4, 2021. After that date, if no additional claimants have come forward, transfer of control of the unassociated funerary objects and the sacred object to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs listed in this notice may proceed. The Cleveland Museum of Natural History is responsible for notifying the Office of Hawaiian Affairs that this notice has been published. Dated: November 24, 2020.

After careful consideration, the Record of Decision identifies BOEM’s selection of Alternative C of the Programmatic EIS. Under Alternative C, G&G activities would continue to be permitted and authorized, and would include the mitigation measures, monitoring, reporting, survey protocols, and guidance that were in place prior to the settlement agreement in Natural Resources Defense Council Ins., et al., v. Bernhardt, et al., Defendants and API, et al., Intervenor, Defendants, No. 2:10–cv– 01882 (E.D. La.), as well as additional mitigation and temporal measures for survey protocols for seismic airgun and nonairgun HRG surveys. While BOEM is selecting Alternative C at this programmatic stage, rather than adopting the non-airgun, HRG survey protocol (as described in Appendix B of the Programmatic EIS), the protocol will be reserved, considered, and applied at the site-specific stage, on an as-needed basis, to further minimize the potential for injury to marine mammals and sea turtles. BOEM’s selection of the Preferred Alternative meets the purpose of and need for the proposed action, balances regional and national policy considerations, and includes appropriate measures to minimize potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts. This decision does not by itself authorize any activities. The mitigation measures contemplated in Alternative C may be supplemented by additional requirements or tailored as site-specific circumstances warrant in permits or other specific authorizations after BOEM completes additional environmental review.

The ID notes that ‘‘[n]o party disputes that Signify should be allowed to intervene.’’ See ID at 2. The ID finds that ‘‘Signify may fully participate as a party in the investigation, including with respect to all claims and defenses at issue in the investigation.’’ See id. No petition for review of the subject ID was filed. The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. Signify is an intervenor in this investigation. The Commission’s vote for this determination took place on November 30, 2020. The authority for the Commission’s determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in part 210 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 210).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Programmatic EIS addresses potential 
environmental impacts of BOEM's Oil and Gas, Renewable Energy, and 
Marine Minerals Programs, and focuses particularly on the environmental 
impacts of off-lease and on-lease geological (bottom sampling and test 
drilling) and geophysical (deep-penetration, high--resolution 
geophysical (HRG), electromagnetic, deep stratigraphic, and remote 
sensing) surveys. The area evaluated (i.e., Area of Interest or AOI) 
includes the OCS waters that are within BOEM's Gulf of Mexico planning

jurisdiction.
    In the Programmatic EIS, BOEM evaluated seven alternatives. All but 
the No Action Alternative focused on mitigation measures to avoid or 
reduce the potential environmental impacts that could result from 
future G&G activities in the GOM. The Programmatic EIS and Record of

    After careful consideration, the Record of Decision identifies 
BOEM's selection of Alternative C of the Programmatic EIS. Under 
Alternative C, G&G activities would continue to be permitted and 
authorized, and would include the mitigation measures, monitoring, 
reporting, survey protocols, and guidance that were in place prior to 
the settlement agreement in Natural Resources Defense Council Ins., et 
al., v. Bernhardt, et al., Defendants and API, et al., Intervenor, 
Defendants, No. 2:10-cv-01882 (E.D. La.), as well as additional 
mitigation and temporal measures for survey protocols for seismic 
airgun and nonairgun HRG surveys. While BOEM is selecting Alternative C 
at this programmatic stage, rather than adopting the non-airgun, HRG 
survey protocol (as described in Appendix B of the Programmatic EIS), 
the protocol will be reserved, considered, and applied at the site-
specific stage, on an as-needed basis, to further minimize the 
potential for injury to marine mammals and sea turtles. BOEM's

for the proposed action, balances regional and national policy 
considerations, and includes appropriate measures to minimize potential 
environmental and socioeconomic impacts. This decision does not by 
itself authorize any activities. The mitigation measures contemplated 
in Alternative C may be supplemented by additional requirements or 
tailored as site-specific circumstances warrant in permits or other
