Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 240 / Thursday, December 15, 2022 / Notices
have gathered important information
about the deformities, but their cause
still remains unknown. Members of the
public provide observation reports of
birds with deformities from around
Alaska and other regions of North
America. These reports are very
important in that they allow researchers
to determine the geographical
distribution and species affected. Data
collection over such a large and remote
area would not be possible without the
public’s assistance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq. and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all
information collections require
approval. We may not conduct or
sponsor, and you are not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and

(4) How the agency might minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personally

comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
PII—may be made publicly available at
any time. While you can ask us in your
comment to withhold your PII from
public review, we cannot guarantee that
we will be able to do so.
Abstract: We seek to connect with
natural-hazards experts in the Caribbean
to discuss the feasibility for the USGS
to conduct natural-hazards research in
the region in collaboration with U.S.
territories and international partners.
Natural hazards impacting U.S.
Caribbean territories are driven by
regional-scale processes which are
coupled with those of neighboring
international countries. Multi-hazards
such as coastal storms and related
hazards including flooding, sea level
rise, freshwater scarcity, and coral reef
degradation, should be investigated at a
regional scale to better understand the
processes and develop accurate
numerical models to reduce loss of life
and property. We will discuss primary
natural hazards of concern with local
experts to learn about their mitigation
efforts and discuss areas of overlapping
interests in which we may be able to
collaborate. A final report will
document feasible engagement
strategies, key takeaways, and lessons
learned. A database will be compiled of
hazards experts and resources in each
country to facilitate future potential
collaborations.

were removed from Tuscaloosa County,
Alabama.
DATES: Repatriation of the associated
funerary objects in this notice may

relevant information and/or expert
opinion.
Description
In 1906, two associated funerary
objects were removed from the
Moundville (01–TU–0500) site in
Tuscaloosa County, AL, by C.B. Moore.
The two objects are one complete
ceramic bottle from the Field west of
Mound R and one complete ceramic cup
from the Field south of Mound D. These
objects were donated to the PMAE in
1907 by Moore.
Museum records do not indicate that
human remains from excavations at
Moundville were sent to the PMAE;
however, in 1907, Moore reported that
he sent human remains to the United
States Army Medical Museum (AMM)
and the Academy of Natural Sciences of
Philadelphia. Additional human
remains were likely sent to other
institutions by Moore or transferred
between institutions at a later date.
Twenty-eight human remains sent to
AMM were reported in a Notice of
Inventory Completion published in the
Federal Register on October 17, 2017,
by the National Museum of Health and
Medicine. At least two human remains
sent to the Academy of Natural Sciences
of Philadelphia were reported in a
NAGRPA inventory by the University of
Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology
and Anthropology.
The PMAE does not have a record of
human remains from Moundville being
at PMAE; however, based on museum
documentation (including recently
received from other museums), field
notes, and subsequent review of
consultation, historical, and
archeological evidence, the PMAE
believes there is evidence to reasonably
document human remains held in a
museum on or after November 16, 1990
as associated with the aforementioned
funerary objects.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the PMAE has
determined that:
• The two objects described in this
notice 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.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the cultural items and
the present-day Muskogean speaking
Tribes: Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of
Texas (previously listed as AlabamaCoushatta Tribes of Texas); AlabamaQuassarte Tribal Town; Coushatta Tribe
of Louisiana; Jena Band of Choctaw
Indians; Seminole Tribe of Florida
(previously listed as Seminole Tribe of
Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton,
Hollywood, & Tampa Reservations));
The Chickasaw Nation; The Choctaw
Nation of Oklahoma; The Muscogee
(Creek) Nation; The Seminole Nation of
Oklahoma; and the Thlopthlocco Tribal
Town.
Cultural Affiliation
The associated funerary objects in this
notice are connected to one or more
identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures. There is a
relationship of shared group identity
between the identifiable earlier groups,
tribes, peoples, or cultures and one or
more Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship The following
types of information were used to
reasonably trace the relationship:
anthropological information,
archeological information, biological
information, geographical information,

Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
associated funerary objects in this notice
must be sent to the Responsible Official
identified in ADDRESSES. Requests for
repatriation may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.
2. Any lineal descendant, Indian
Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization
not identified in this notice who shows,
by a preponderance of the evidence, that
the requestor is a lineal descendant or
a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization.
Repatriation of the associated
funerary objects in this notice to a
requestor may occur on or after January
17, 2023. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, the PMAE
must determine the most appropriate
requestor prior to repatriation. Requests
for joint repatriation of the associated
funerary objects are considered a single
request and not competing requests. The
PMAE is responsible for sending a copy
of this notice to the Indian Tribes and
Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.
