In 1939 and 1940, Adams conducted the investigations in Jefferson County, MO, on behalf of the Academy of Science of St. Louis and sponsored by the Works Projects Administration (WPA), with support from Washington University of St. Louis, the Missouri Resources Museum in Jefferson City, MO, the Illinois State Museum, and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. The bulk of the items removed during these excavations were taken to the Academy of Science of St. Louis while a representative ratio of duplicate materials excavated were sent to the Illinois State Museum and to the Smithsonian Institution. In 1941 and 1942, Adams directed investigations in in New Madrid County, MO, for the WPA, sponsored by the Academy of Science of St. Louis and the Missouri Resources Museum. The items removed during these excavations were taken to the Academy of Science of St. Louis. In 1959, the Academy of Science of St. Louis created the Museum of Science and Natural History in St. Louis, MO. In 1972, the Museum of Science and Natural History separated from the Academy of Science of St. Louis and control of this collection was transferred to the Museum of Science and Natural History. In 1985, when the Museum of Science and Natural History joined with St. Louis City’s Planetarium, the newly formed institution was named the Saint Louis Science Center. This collection remains with the SLSC and is used to support the SLSC’s mission, exhibits, and programs. The 36 unassociated funerary objects are 13 ceramic jars, nine ceramic bowls, one ceramic bottle, one ceramic pot, four projectile points, four soil samples, two adzes, one axe, and one shell bead necklace. The five objects of cultural patrimony are one ceramic pipe, one bone effigy hair pin, two ceramic ear plugs, and one ceramic human effigy. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:12 Nov 09, 2023 Jkt 262001 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, 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: oral tradition, linguistics, archeological data, and historical information. Determinations Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations, the SLSC has determined that: • The 36 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. • The 5 cultural items described above have ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group or culture itself, rather than property owned by an individual. • There is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the cultural items and The Osage Nation. 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.

The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of FRCs from China were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and sold at LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)).

The Commission conducted its hearing on May 18, 2023. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate. The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not align its antidumping and countervailing duty investigations for China with its antidumping duty investigation for Mexico, and reached earlier final antidumping and countervailing duty determinations for China. On July 3, 2023, the Commission issued final affirmative determinations in its antidumping and countervailing duty investigations of certain freight rail couplers and parts thereof from China (88 FR 43398, July 7, 2023). Following notification of a final determination by Commerce that imports of certain freight rail couplers and parts thereof from Mexico were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final phase of the Commission’s antidumping duty investigation was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register of October 2, 2023 (88 FR 67812).

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, peoples, or cultures and one or more Indian Tribes or

consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 
organizations, the Gilcrease Museum has determined that:

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.

Nation, Oklahoma; Delaware Tribe of Indians; and the Stockbridge Munsee 
Community, Wisconsin.

in this notice must be sent to the Responsible Official identified in
