Forms OF–301A describe the service
a volunteer will perform, and asks a
volunteer to confirm their
understanding of the purpose of the
volunteer program, their fitness and
ability to perform the duties as
described, and whether they consent to

will allow all participating agencies
across locations to track their volunteer

Sign-up: We use this form to document
awareness and understanding by adult
individuals in groups about the
volunteer activities between a Federal
agency and a partner organization with

(address, telephone number, and email
address);
• Month and year of birth (proposed
new data field);
• Confirmation of understanding of
the purpose of the volunteer program;

Each participating agency must
request OMB approval of, and report
their own burden associated with, the
use of common forms OF–301, OF–
301a, and OF–301b in order to be
authorized to participate in this
information collection. Interior will not

Additionally, we are proposing to
change the title of this information
collection from ‘‘Natural and Cultural
Resource Agencies Customer
Relationship Management’’ to

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 Mississippi
Department of Archives and History,
Jackson, MS, 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.
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Between 1989 and 1990, 16 sacred
objects were removed from the Austin
site (22TU549) in Tunica County, MS.
These sacred objects include nine
canine burials, one lot of ceramic
sherds, one lot of charcoal, one lot of
fired clay objects, one lot of faunal bone
fragments (other than canine), one lot of
lithic debitage, one lot of soil matrix,
and one lot of water-screened pit fill.
Following consultation with The
Chickasaw Nation on the role of the
white dog Ofi’ Tohbi Ishto’ in the
Chickasaw Migration story and the
desire of the Chickasaw Nation to
venerate these animals alongside
ancestors in current day reburial
practices, MDAH has determined that
E:\FR\FM\05MRN1.SGM
05MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 42 / Friday, March 5, 2021 / Notices
the above listed objects are sacred
objects.
In April of 1988, MDAH acquired
from an unknown donor a collection
containing five objects that had been
removed from the burial of an
individual at the Tom Harris site
(22QU574) in Quitman County, MS.
Neither the identity of the individual
nor the whereabouts of their human
remains is known. The unassociated
funerary objects include one lot of
ceramic sherds, one lot of daub, one lot
of lithic debitage, one lot of faunal bone
fragments, and one lot of burial fill
matrix.

Determinations Made by the
Mississippi Department of Archives
and History
Officials at the Mississippi
Department of Archives and History
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
five of the cultural items 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 a Native American individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), 16
of the 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(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between all the cultural items described
above and The Chickasaw Nation.
Additional Requestors and Disposition

organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
