Abstract: Section 4 of the Endangered
Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.) outlines the process by which we
can list a species as a threatened species
or an endangered species. When we
consider whether to list a species, the
ESA requires us to take into account the
efforts made by any State or any
political subdivision of a State to protect
such species. We also take into account
the efforts made by other entities. States
or other entities often formalize
conservation efforts in conservation
agreements, conservation plans,
management plans, or similar
documents. The conservation efforts
recommended or described in such
documents could prevent some species
from becoming so imperiled that they
meet the definition of a threatened
species or an endangered species under
the ESA.
The Policy for Evaluation of
Conservation Efforts When Making
Listing Decisions (PECE) (68 FR 15100,
March 28, 2003) encourages the
development of conservation
agreements or plans and provides the
standard that an individual
conservation effort must meet in order
for us to consider whether it is likely to
make a difference in a species’ status.
PECE applies to formalized conservation
efforts that have not been implemented
or have been implemented but have not
yet demonstrated if they are effective at
the time of a listing decision.
Under PECE, formalized conservation
efforts are defined as conservation
efforts (specific actions, activities, or
programs designed to eliminate or
reduce threats or otherwise improve the
status of a species) identified in a
conservation agreement, conservation
plan, management plan, or similar
document. To assist us in evaluating
whether a formalized conservation effort
meets the standard under PECE, we
collect information such as conservation
Estimated number

plans, monitoring results, and progress
reports. The development of any
agreement or plan is voluntary. The
PECE is posted on our Candidate
Conservation website at https://

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Sometime between 1875 and 1889, 26
cultural items were removed from San
Nicolas Island in Ventura County, CA.
The cultural items were removed by
Reverend Stephen Bowers. Bowers
made multiple collecting trips to San
Nicolas Island, during which he
removed thousands of cultural items. He
later sold those items to museums and
collectors. Between 1880 and 1881,
Reverend Bowers owned two
newspapers in Wisconsin, one in
Clinton and one in Beloit, and they
provide the context for his sale of
cultural items to the Logan Museum.
The 26 unassociated funerary objects are
13 modified shells (965.01; 965.02;
965.03; 965.04; 965.05; 965.06; 965.07;
965.08; 965.09; 965.10; 965.11; 966.01;
966.02), six unmodified shells (1008.01;
1008.02; 1008.03; 1009.01; M.05.0085),
two modified shells or bone (907), and
five stone pestles (18204; 18205; 18206;
18207; 18208). One pestle (18208) is
currently missing from museum
collections, but upon being located, it

will be transferred with the other
cultural items listed in this notice.
Based on archeological information, a
relationship of shared group identity
may reasonably be traced between the
following Indian Tribes and the people
who occupied San Nicolas for at least
10,000 years: La Jolla Band of Luiseno
Indians, California [previously listed as
La Jolla Band of Luiseno Mission
Indians of the La Jolla Reservation]; Pala
Band of Mission Indians [previously
listed as Pala Band of Luiseno Mission
Indians of the Pala Reservation,
California]; Pauma Band of Luiseno
Mission Indians of the Pauma & Yuima
Reservation, California; Pechanga Band
of Luiseno Mission Indians of the
Pechanga Reservation, California;
Rincon Band of Luiseno Mission
Indians of Rincon Reservation,
California; Santa Ynez Band of
Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa
Ynez Reservation, California; and the
Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians,
California. Hereafter, these Indian
Tribes are referred to as ‘‘The Tribes.’’
Determinations Made by Beloit College,
Logan Museum of Anthropology
Officials of Beloit College, Logan
Museum of Anthropology have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 26 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(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated 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 claim these cultural items
should submit a written request with
