The Pactola Reservoir—Rapid Creek
subwatershed boundary described
within this land description was
derived from GIS and used for
convenience in computing acreage. This
subwatershed is also known as
Hydrological Unit Code (HUC)
101201100110. This land description
intends to include all public lands
administered by the USFS within this
subwatershed. The actual boundary is
intended to be the location of said
subwatershed as it exists on the ground.
The areas described aggregate
approximately 20,574 acres.
The purpose for the withdrawal
requested by the USFS is to protect the
cultural and natural resources of the
Pactola Reservoir—Rapid Creek
Watershed, including municipal water
for Rapid City and Ellsworth Air Force
Base, from the adverse impacts of
minerals exploration and development.
The use of a right-of-way, interagency
agreement, or cooperative agreement
would not provide adequate protection
of cultural and natural resources.
No additional water rights will be
needed to fulfill the purpose of the
requested withdrawal.
There are no suitable alternative sites,
as the described lands contain the
resource values that need protection.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment, including your
personal identifying information, may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Notice is hereby given that the USFS
and the BLM will hold a joint public
meeting in connection with the
withdrawal application on Wednesday,
April 26, 2023, from 4–8 p.m. MT, at the
Best Western Ramkota Hotel,
Conference Hall, 2111 N. LaCrosse St.,
Rapid City, SD 57701. The USFS will
publish a notice of the time and place
in a local newspaper at least 30 days
before the scheduled date of the
meeting. During the 90-day comment
period, the BLM and USFS will hold
additional meetings in other areas of the
State, notices of which will be provided

in local newspapers or on agency
websites.
For a period until March 21, 2025, the
NFS lands described earlier will be
segregated from settlement, sale,
location, or entry under the public land
laws, location and entry under the
United States mining laws, and leasing
under the mineral and geothermal
leasing laws, subject to valid existing
rights, unless the application is denied
or canceled, or the withdrawal is
approved prior to that date.
Licenses, permits, cooperative
agreements, or discretionary land use
authorizations of a temporary nature
may be allowed with the approval of the
authorized officer of the USFS during
the temporary segregation period if they
would comply with applicable USFS
land use plans for public lands and NFS
lands located within the requested
withdrawal boundary.
The application will be processed in
accordance with the regulations set
forth in 43 CFR part 2300.

responsibilities under NAGPRA. The
determinations in this notice are the
sole responsibility of the California

The National Park Service is not

this notice. Additional information on
the amendments and determinations in

Amendment
This notice amends the
determinations published in a Notice of
Intent to Repatriate in the Federal
Register (67 FR 78508, December 24,
2002). Repatriation of the items in the
original Notice of Intent to Repatriate
has not occurred. After the original
notice was published, a request for the
repatriation of the sacred objects listed
in the notice was made by an individual
claiming to be the direct lineal
descendant of the individual who
owned the sacred objects, and a
preponderance of evidence supports
this request.

Determinations (as Amended)
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the California Department
of Parks and Recreation has determined
that:
• The 59 cultural items are specific
ceremonial objects needed by traditional
Native American religious leaders for
the practice of traditional Native
American religions by their present-day
adherents.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the cultural items in this
notice and Robert Geary, a lineal
descendant.
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 April 20, 2023. If competing

requests for repatriation are received,
the California Department of Parks and
Recreation 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. The California
Department of Parks and Recreation is
responsible for sending a copy of this
notice to the lineal descendant
identified in this notice.

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Nash Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Eastern Band of
Cherokee Indians; Quapaw Nation
(previously listed as The Quapaw Tribe
of Indians); The Chickasaw Nation; The
Muscogee (Creek) Nation; and the
