determinations in this notice. Additional information on the amendments 
and determinations in this notice, including the results of

Amendment

    This notice amends the determinations published in a Notice of 
Inventory Completion in the Federal Register (82 FR 44444-44445, 
September 22, 2017). Repatriation of the items in the original Notice 
of Inventory Completion has not occurred. An additional two individuals 
and 117 associated funerary objects have been located and verified with 
the original excavation documentation, increasing the minimum number of 
individuals represented by the human remains and the number of 
associated funerary objects removed from the Calovich Mound in 
Wyandotte County, KS.
    From the Calovich Mound site (14WY7) in Wyandotte County, KS, human 
remains representing, at minimum, 81 individuals were removed 
(previously listed as 79 individuals). The 177 associated funerary 
objects (previously identified as 60 associated funerary objects) are 
one partial bone pendant, three shell pendants, 15 shell disk beads, 43 
pieces of unmodified freshwater mussel shell, 20 unmodified shells, 21 
unmodified stones (including one ochre and two orange gypsum crystals), 
35 ceramic body sherds, eight ceramic rim sherds, three pieces of daub, 
19 pieces of worked stone (including two projectile points and one 
fragmented projectile point), one charcoal, and eight bone fragments.

Determinations

    Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after 
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 
organizations, Kansas State University has determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains represent 
the physical remains of 81 individuals of Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 177 objects 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.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native 
American human remains and associated funerary objects and the Iowa 
Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska; Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma; Kaw Nation, 
Oklahoma; Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma; Pawnee Nation of 
Oklahoma; and the Ponca Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma.

Requests for Repatriation

    Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural items 
in this notice must be sent to the Responsible Official identified in 
ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation may be submitted by 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 cultural items in this notice to a requestor 
may occur on or after March 17, 2023. If competing requests for 
repatriation are received, Kansas State University must determine the 
most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint 
repatriation of the cultural items are considered a single request and 
not competing requests. Kansas State University is responsible for 
sending a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes identified in this 
notice.
