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: The BLM collects the
information from respondents to
determine if they are qualified by statute
to purchase Federal timber resources
originating from public lands managed
by the BLM. This OMB control number
is currently scheduled to expire
December 31, 2024. This request is for
OMB to renew this OMB control
number for an additional three (3) years.
This request to renew OMB Control
Number 1004–0058 will also request to
discontinue the use of the Form 5460–
17, Substitution Determination, which
reduces the estimated annual burden
hours from 300 to 200 hours. The BLM

without use of sourcing area
designations that allow timber export in
certain circumstances.

1955.
A total of 12 cultural items have been
requested for repatriation. The 12 lots of
unassociated funerary objects/objects of

removed from Point Dume, Ramirez
Canyon, and Solstice Canyon sites in
Los Angeles County, CA in the early to
mid-20th century.
A total of 41 cultural items have been

effigies, and inlaid stone miniature

A total of 535 cultural items have
been requested for repatriation. The 535
lots of unassociated funerary objects/
objects of cultural patrimony are stone
and shell beads, trade beads, plain and
effigy stone pipes, plain and inlaid
stone effigies, stone tools, ornaments
(including for hair and ears), stone
bowls, arrow straighteners, pendants,
shell gorgets, fish hooks, and a whistle.
These were collected from coastal
southern California by the abovementioned Earl Stendahl.
A total of four cultural items have
been requested for repatriation. The four
lots of unassociated funerary objects/
objects of cultural patrimony are stone
and glass beads. These were collected
from coastal southern California by
Frank Engles, and then sold to Thomas
Gilcrease through Earl Stendahl in 1950.
A total of 279 cultural items have
been requested for repatriation. The 279
lots of unassociated funerary objects/
objects of cultural patrimony are shells,
marine animal fragments (including
coral), fish hooks, shell and stone beads
and discs, faunal bone tools, stone tools,
shell pendants, faunal remains, petrified
wood, and mortars. These were
collected from coastal southern
California and donated to Gilcrease
Museum in 1982 by Gary Busby.
A total of two cultural items have
been requested for repatriation. The two
lots of unassociated funerary objects/
objects of cultural patrimony are stone

Determinations
The Gilcrease Museum has
determined that:
• The 1,059 unassociated funerary
objects described in this notice are
reasonably believed to have been placed
intentionally with or near human
remains, and are connected, either at the
time of death or later as part of the death
rite or ceremony of a Native American
culture according to the Native
American traditional knowledge of a
lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or
Native Hawaiian organization. The
unassociated funerary objects have been
identified by a preponderance of the
evidence as related to human remains,
specific individuals, or families, or
removed from a specific burial site or
burial area of an individual or
individuals with cultural affiliation to
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• The 1,060 objects of cultural
patrimony described in this notice have
ongoing historical, traditional, or
cultural importance central to the
Native American group, including any
constituent sub-group (such as a band,
clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or
other subdivision), according to the
Native American traditional knowledge
of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the cultural items described in
this notice and the Santa Ynez Band of
Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa
Ynez Reservation, California.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for
repatriation of the cultural items in this
notice must be sent to the authorized
representative identified in this notice
under 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 25, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the Gilcrease Museum 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 Gilcrease
Museum is responsible for sending a
copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes
and Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice and to any other
consulting parties.

additional burials vandalized from
previously unexcavated graves. Details
of the transfer of the burials and cultural
items are unknown; however, it is likely
that the excavated site materials were
sent to William Bass at the University of
Kansas and subsequently brought with
him when he began working in the UTK
Department of Anthropology in 1971.
The five lots of unassociated funerary
objects are one lot of natural stone, one
lot of worked stone, one lot of possible
petrified wood, one lot of charred wood,
and one lot of charred pignuts.

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: geographical
information, historical information, and
Native American traditional knowledge.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, UTK has determined that:
• The five 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 Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma.
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
