History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In 1960, Cheekwood received on loan
eight sacred objects and three objects of
cultural patrimony. In 1972, Cheekwood
formally accessioned these objects. The
eight sacred objects are one t-type
pipestone pipe bowl; one ribbonwrapped pipe stem attributed to
Taoyate Duta (Chief Little Crow); one
beaded, twisted and painted pipe stem;
one beaded, velvet pipe bag; one eagle
claw pipestone pipe bowl; one ribbonwrapped pipe stem; one war shield; and
one whip handle. The three objects of
cultural patrimony are one stone maul,
one stone mace, and one bow with
lightning design.
Based on consultation with
representatives of the Prairie Island
Indian Community in the State of
Minnesota, Cheekwood has determined
the identity of these 11 cultural items
and their cultural affiliation with this
Indian Tribe.

Determinations Made by the
Cheekwood Estate and Gardens
Officials of the Cheekwood Estate and
Gardens have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C),
the eight 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 three 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 Prairie
Island Indian Community in the State of
Minnesota.

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Sometime prior to November 3, 1936,
two cultural items were removed from
an unknown location in Montana. These
items (inventory numbers 1591 and
1592) were collected or acquired by
Charles Herbert Mitchell (1857–1936).
In 1936, Mr. Mitchell’s family donated
a portion of his collection, including
these items, to Boston University. The
two sacred objects/objects of cultural
patrimony are two pipestone vessels.
Based on information provided by the
Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort
Peck Indian Reservation, Montana
during consultation and in the Tribe’s
repatriation request, the institution has
determined that the pipestone vessels
are culturally affiliated with the
Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort
Peck Indian Reservation, Montana, and
that they meet both the definition of
sacred objects and the definition of
objects of cultural patrimony.

Primary: Individuals.
Individuals who are contractors for

Abstract: Self-reporting requirements
set forth in the Department of Justice
(DOJ) Policy Statement 1700.04,
Department Personnel Security
Reporting Requirements, issued April
18, 2018, apply to non-federal employee
personnel affiliated with the DOJ. The
policy contains reporting requirements
that are applicable to the entire DOJ
workforce as well as reporting
requirements that apply only to
personnel occupying a national security
position or who have access to classified
information. The requirements relating
to national security are mandated by the
Director of National Intelligence as the
Security Executive Agent. The majority
of the reports relate to the submitter’s
personal conduct and activities. There is
one form for personnel to submit
information on other personnel,
consistent with government-wide
reporting requirements. This collection
request seeks approval for contractors
and other non-federal employees who
are processed for access to classified
information to utilize the Department’s
automated reporting system called
iReport, or, for the small population
with no access to the IT system, to
utilize PDF fillable forms to report the
required information. The Security and
Emergency Planning Staff, and other
Department Security Offices, will use
the reported information to determine
the submitter’s continued fitness for
employment at the Department of
Justice or continued eligibility for access
to national security information. The
Department security offices for each
agency component will review,
evaluate, and adjudicate the information
received.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond:
a. Department-wide population
covered by the requirement to selfreport information in the forms listed in
Sections 2a and 2b is estimated at
57,744. It is estimated that only three
percent (1,732) will actually need to
self-report.
b. Department-wide population
covered by the requirement to report
information in the forms listed in
