United States who are deaf, deafblind,
hard of hearing, or have a speech

Individuals outside the United States

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite
the public to comment on applications
for permits under section 10(a)(1)(A) of
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
SUMMARY:
The requested permits would allow the
applicants to conduct activities
intended to promote recovery of species
that are listed as endangered under the
ESA.
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activity. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes such
activities as pursuing, harassing,
trapping, capturing, or collecting, in
addition to hunting, shooting, harming,
wounding, or killing.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered or threatened
species for scientific purposes that
promote recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
These activities often include such
prohibited actions as capture and
collection. Our regulations
implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for
these permits are found in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR
17.22 for endangered wildlife species,
50 CFR 17.32 for threatened wildlife
species, 50 CFR 17.62 for endangered
plant species, and 50 CFR 17.72 for
threatened plant species.
Permit Applications Available for
Review and Comment
Proposed activities in the following
permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild. The ESA
requires that we invite public comment
before issuing these permits.
Accordingly, we invite local, State,
Tribal, and Federal agencies and the
public to submit written data, views, or
arguments with respect to these
applications. The comments and
recommendations that will be most
useful and likely to influence agency
decisions are those supported by
quantitative information or studies.

Notice.
In accordance with the Native
American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the
Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and
Museum has completed an inventory of
human remains and has determined that
there is a cultural affiliation between the
human remains and Indian Tribes or
Native Hawaiian organizations in this
notice. The human remains were
removed from an unknown burial site
on the banks of the Columbia River
(between Washington and Oregon) of
the Columbia River Plateau and
Klickitat County, WA.
DATES: Repatriation of the human
remains in this notice may occur on or
after June 20, 2023.

SUMMARY:
This
notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA. The
determinations in this notice are the
sole responsibility of the Columbia
Gorge Discovery Center and Museum.
The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in
this notice. Additional information on
the determinations in this notice,

Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
at an unknown time from a burial site
located along the banks or islands of the
Columbia River near The Dalles, in
Wasco County, OR, and Wishram, in
Klickitat County, WA, by James Gosson.

remains to the Museum. The human
remains belong to an adult of unknown
sex. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual were removed
from private property in White Salmon,
Klickitat County, WA by Allen B.
Clarke. Clarke found these human
remains while digging out his basement.
Following his death, the human remains
were donated to the Museum in 2013 by
his wife, Rosalie Clarke. The human
remains belong to an adult male. No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Native American People from both
sides of the Columbia River utilized the
islands on the Columbia River that
border the present-day states of Oregon
and Washington, in the north central
Columbia River Plateau region, for
burial. Early and late published
ethnographic documentation indicates
that this area was the aboriginal territory
of the Western Columbia River
Sahaptins, Wasco, Wishram, Yakima,
Walla Walla, Umatilla, Tenino, and Skin
(Daugherty 1973, Hale 1841, Hunn and
French 1998, Stern 1998, French and
French 1998, Mooney 1896, Murdock
1938, Ray 1936 and 1974, Spier 1936).
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and 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: geographical and
historical.
