Cultural Affiliation
The cultural items 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,

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: archeological,
geographical, historical, other
information, and expert opinion.

implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Mobile District has
determined that:
• The 42 cultural items described
above 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 and are believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the cultural items and
The Chickasaw Nation.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for

Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Authority
This Call is published under
subsection 8(p)(3) of the Outer

43 U.S.C. 1337(p)(3), and its
implementing regulations at 30 CFR
585.210 and 585.211.
2. Purpose
The OCSLA requires BOEM to award
leases competitively unless BOEM
determines that there is no competitive
interest (43 U.S.C. 1337(p)(3)). The
primary purpose of this Call is to collect
further information and feedback on
industry interest, site conditions,
resources, and ocean uses within, and
surrounding, the Call area.
An essential part of BOEM’s
renewable energy leasing process is
working closely with Federal agencies,
Tribes, State and local governments,
industry, and ocean users to identify
areas that may be suitable for potential
offshore wind development to power
the Nation. BOEM has not yet
determined which areas, if any, within
the Call area may be offered for lease.
Your input is essential and will help
BOEM determine areas that may be
suitable for offshore wind development.
There will be multiple opportunities to
provide feedback throughout the
renewable energy planning and leasing
process, including if BOEM receives any
project proposals in the future. A
detailed description of the Call area may
be found below in section 6,
‘‘Description of Call Area.’’ For more
information about BOEM’s competitive
and noncompetitive leasing processes,
please see section 4, ‘‘BOEM’s Planning
and Leasing Process.’’
