History and Description of the Cultural Items Sometime in the 1930s, 20 cultural objects were removed from the Stockbridge-Munsee Community in Wisconsin. Miss Mabel Choate, working through an agent, purchased these objects for display at the Mission House Museum in Stockbridge, MA. (The purchase also included one communion set, which was returned to the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, Wisconsin in 2005; a two-volume Bible, which was returned to the StockbridgeMunsee Community, Wisconsin in 1989; and six heirlooms of Sachem John Wannuaucon Quinney and Sachem Austin Quinney, which were returned to the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, Wisconsin in 2021.) In 1948, Miss Choate donated the Mission House and its contents, including these objects, to The Trustees of Reservations. The 20 objects of cultural patrimony are: One woven basket (MH.P.16/8525); one woven basket with handle (MH.P.16/8526); one woven basket with handle (MH.P.16/8529); one tiered hanging basket (MH.P.16/8539); one woven basket (MH.P.16/8542); one basket (MH.P.314); one basket (MH.P.323); one box with lid (MH.P.321); one wood bowl (MH.P.16/ 8533); one wood bowl (MH.P.311); one food paddle (MH.P.16/8534); one food paddle (MH.P.310); one scoop (MH.P.308); one scoop with animal carving (MH.P.309); one Ziba T.

The John Chickens powder horn, conch shell, and scoop with animal carving date to the 18th century, while the remainder of the cultural objects listed in this notice date to the 19th century. In the 1730s, in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, the Stockbridge Mohicans (present-day Stockbridge Munsee Community, Wisconsin) accepted the Reverend John Sergeant as a Christian missionary. In 1785, the Stockbridge Mohicans began to be forcibly removed from Stockbridge. Subsequently, they endured multiple removals from the Northeast before finally arriving in Wisconsin. Cultural affiliation with the Stockbridge Munsee Community is established through records held in the archives of the Mission House. Consultation with representatives of the Stockbridge Munsee Community confirm that these objects have ongoing historical, traditional, and cultural importance central to the Stockbridge Munsee Community, Wisconsin. Determinations Made by The Trustees of Reservations Officials of The Trustees of Reservations have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), the 20 cultural objects 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 objects of cultural patrimony and the Stockbridge Munsee Community, Wisconsin.

Abstract: Reclamation collects agency-wide recreation and concession information to fulfill congressional reporting requirements pursuant to current public laws, including the Federal Water Project Recreation Act (16 U.S.C. 460I), and the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (16 U.S.C. PO 00000 Frm 00072 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 87). In addition, collected information will permit relevant program assessments of resources managed by Reclamation, its recreation managing partners, and/or concessionaires for the purpose of contributing to the implementation of Reclamation’s mission. More specifically, the collected information enables Reclamation to (1) evaluate the effectiveness of program management based on existing recreation and concessionaire resources and facilities, and (2) validate the efficiency of resources for public use within partner managed recreation resources, located on Reclamation project lands in the 17 Western States. In addition to using an on-line data collection platform, we have streamlined the form used in this ICR by removing two sections that can be collected and maintained by Reclamation employees which lessens the public burden. Title of Collection: Recreation Use Data Report. OMB Control Number: 1006–0002. Form Number: Web-based Form 7– 2534—Recreation Use Data Report. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents/Affected Public: State, local, or tribal governments; agencies who manage Reclamation’s recreation resources and facilities; and commercial concessions, subconcessionaires, and nonprofit organizations located on Reclamation lands with associated recreation services. Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 212. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 212. Estimated Completion Time per Response: 25 minutes. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 88 hours. Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. Frequency of Collection: Annually. Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: 0. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq). Karen Knight, Director, Dam Safety and Infrastructure.

History and Description of the Cultural Items

    Sometime in the 1930s, 20 cultural objects were removed from the 
Stockbridge-Munsee Community in Wisconsin. Miss Mabel Choate, working 
through an agent, purchased these objects for display at the Mission 
House Museum in Stockbridge, MA. (The purchase also included one 
communion set, which was returned to the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, 
Wisconsin in 2005; a two-volume Bible, which was returned to the 
Stockbridge-Munsee Community, Wisconsin in 1989; and six heirlooms of 
Sachem John Wannuaucon Quinney and Sachem Austin Quinney, which were 
returned to the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, Wisconsin in 2021.) In 
1948, Miss Choate donated the Mission House and its contents, including 
these objects, to The Trustees of Reservations.
    The 20 objects of cultural patrimony are: One woven basket 
(MH.P.16/8525); one woven basket with handle (MH.P.16/8526); one woven 
basket with handle (MH.P.16/8529); one tiered hanging basket (MH.P.16/
8539); one woven basket (MH.P.16/8542); one basket (MH.P.314); one 
basket (MH.P.323); one box with lid (MH.P.321); one wood bowl (MH.P.16/
8533); one wood bowl (MH.P.311); one food paddle (MH.P.16/8534); one 
food paddle (MH.P.310); one scoop (MH.P.308); one scoop with animal 
carving (MH.P.309); one Ziba T. Peters tobacco pipe (MH.P.313.1) and 
one pipe case (MH.P.313.2); one salt cellar (MH.P.16/8532); one kettle 
(MH.P.318); one conch shell (MH.C.Z.1); and one John Chickens powder 
horn (MH.2008.1). The John Chickens powder horn, conch shell, and scoop 
with animal carving date to the 18th century, while the remainder of 
the cultural objects listed in this notice date to the 19th century.
    In the 1730s, in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, the Stockbridge 
Mohicans (present-day Stockbridge Munsee Community, Wisconsin) accepted 
the Reverend John Sergeant as a Christian missionary. In 1785, the 
Stockbridge Mohicans began to be forcibly removed from Stockbridge. 
Subsequently, they endured multiple removals from the Northeast before 
finally arriving in Wisconsin.
    Cultural affiliation with the Stockbridge Munsee Community is 
established through records held in the archives of the Mission House. 
Consultation with representatives of the Stockbridge Munsee Community 
confirm that these objects have ongoing historical, traditional, and 
cultural importance central to the Stockbridge Munsee Community, 
Wisconsin.

Determinations Made by The Trustees of Reservations

    Officials of The Trustees of Reservations have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), the 20 cultural objects 
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 objects 
of cultural patrimony and the Stockbridge Munsee Community, Wisconsin.

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 Mark Wilson, Curator, The Trustees of 
Reservations, 1 Sergeant Street, P.O. Box 792, Stockbridge, MA 01262 
telephone (413) 298-3239 Ext. 3018, email [email protected], by 
March 25, 2022. After that date, if no additional claimants have come 
forward, transfer of control of the objects of cultural patrimony to 
the Stockbridge Munsee Community, Wisconsin may proceed.
    The Trustees of Reservations is responsible for notifying the
