Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 214 / Tuesday, November 7, 2023 / Notices
3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all
information collections require approval
under the PRA. The BLM may not
conduct or sponsor a collection of
information and a response to a request
for information is not required unless it
displays a current 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
the BLM assess impacts of its
information collection requirements and
minimize the public’s reporting burden.
It also helps the public understand BLM
information collection requirements and
ensure requested data are provided in
the desired format.
The BLM is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following:
(1) whether collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
if the information will have practical
utility;
(2) determination of the accuracy of
the BLM’s estimate of the burden for
collection of information, including
validity of methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) methods to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of information to be
collected; and
(4) how the agency can minimize the
burden of information collection on
those who respond, including use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice are a matter of public record.
The BLM will include or summarize
each comment in its request to OMB to
approve this ICR. 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.
Abstract: This collection of
information enables the BLM to process
assignments of record title interest and
transfers of operating rights in a lease
for oil and gas or geothermal resources.
Each assignment or transfer is a contract
between private parties but, by law,
must be approved by the Secretary. The

BLM uses information about
assignments and transfers to prevent
unlawful extraction of mineral
resources, to ensure prompt payment of
rentals and royalties for the rights
obtained under a Federal lease, and to
ensure that leases are not encumbered
with agreements that cause the minerals
to be uneconomical to produce,
resulting in lost revenues to the Federal
Government. The information also
enables the BLM to ensure the assignee
or transferee is in compliance with the
bonding requirements, when necessary,
before approval of the transfer or
assignment. OMB control number 1004–
0034 is currently scheduled to expire on
September 30, 2024. The BLM plans to
request that OMB renew this OMB
control number for an additional thee
(3) years.

Geothermal Resources: Transfers and
Assignments (43 CFR Subparts 3106,
3135, and 3216).
OMB Control Number: 1004–0034.
Form Number: 3000–003; 3000–003a.

Assignors and assignees of record title
interest in a lease for oil and gas or
geothermal resources; and transferors

information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The authority for this action is the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
In accordance with the Native
American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the Nevada
Historical Society has completed an
inventory of human remains and has
determined that there is no cultural
affiliation between the human remains
and any Indian Tribe. The human
remains were removed from Churchill
County, NV.
DATES: Disposition of the human
remains in this notice may occur on or
after December 7, 2023.

Museum, Carson City, 600 North Carson

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Nevada
Historical Society. The National Park
Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
Additional information on the
determinations in this notice, including
the results of consultation, can be found
in the inventory or related records held
by the Nevada State Museum, Carson
City.
SUMMARY:
Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, 10 individuals were removed
from Churchill County, NV. The
ancestral remains were removed from
two surface locations—Sites 8 and 13—
in the Humboldt Sink (an intermittent
dry lakebed) by L.L. Loud, who
conducted research for the University of
California, Berkeley between April 1
and August 1, 1912. Site 8 was located
at the end of a ridge near Humboldt
Lake and Site 13 was uncovered by
drifting sands and/or a rise in lake
water. The Nevada Historical Society
(NHS) received approval to purchase
part of the objects collected by Loud in
1912. The collection arrived in Reno in
the summer of 1918. Institutional
history and documentation indicate that
one third of the collection was
purchased by the Nevada Historical

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 214 / Tuesday, November 7, 2023 / Notices
Society and there is some information
showing that one third was retained by
the University of California, Berkeley
(UCB). The remaining third purportedly
was retained by the Heye Museum of
the American Indian, but according to
Loud and Harrington (1924), ‘‘[t]he
collection was divided between the
University of California and the Nevada
Historical Society.’’ Consequently, we
believe that the collection was split in
half between UCB and NHS. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Aboriginal Land
The human remains in this notice
were removed from known geographic
locations. These locations are the
aboriginal lands of one or more Indian
Tribes. The following information was
used to identify aboriginal land: a final
judgment of the Indian Claims
Commission or the United States Court
of Claims.

Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes, the Nevada Historical
Society has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of 10 individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• No relationship of shared group
identity can be reasonably traced
between the human remains and any
Indian Tribe.
• The human remains described in
this notice were removed from the
aboriginal land of the Lovelock Paiute
Tribe of the Lovelock Indian Colony,
Nevada.
