Abstract: The United States is facing
growing challenges related to the
availability and quality of water due to
shifting demographics, aging water
delivery infrastructure, the impacts of
climate change, and increasing hazards
risk, like floods and drought. Working
with incomplete knowledge, managers
must consider the needs of various

demographic groups and economic
sectors when making management
decisions as well as when responding to
emergencies. To improve delivery of
effective science to support decisionmaking, the USGS must adapt to meet
the evolving needs of stakeholders in
the water hazard space. We will collect
information regarding the decisionmaking process, data, and data format
needs to support daily, long-term, and
emergency management decisionmaking. Information will also be sought
on gaps in data delivery and coverage.
A lack of decision-support data within
water institutions can lead to poor
decision-making and outcomes that
produce conflict between water use
sectors, states, or communities and
ultimately may led to crisis. This
information will support the delivery of
appropriate data, in appropriate formats,
at the right time for decision-making
and emergency management. The
information will guide USGS support of
water resource institutions, enhancing
resilience in the face of the many waterresources challenges the Nation
currently faces.

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
In accordance with the Native
American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the
University of California, Riverside has
completed an inventory of human
remains and associated funerary objects
and has determined that there is a
cultural affiliation between the human
remains and associated funerary objects
and Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations in this notice.
DATES: Repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
in this notice may occur on or after May
31, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Megan Murphy, University
of California, Riverside, 900 University
Avenue, Riverside, CA 92517–5900,

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 University of
California, Riverside, and additional
information on the determinations in
this notice, including the results of
consultation, can be found in the
inventory or related records. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual have been reasonably
identified. The two associated funerary
objects are charcoal samples. From
December 1984 through January 1985
the University of California, Riverside
Archaeological Research Unit (UCR–
ARU) investigated archaeological site

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

CA–RIV–1806 (Hi Card Ranch) as part of
an environmental impact assessment
related to a housing development near
Wildomar. Daniel McCarthy, staff
archaeologist for the UCR–ARU
published a report on the excavation in
1986 entitled ‘‘Excavations at Hi Card
Ranch (CA–RIV–1806), Santa Rosa
Plateau, Near Wildomar, Riverside
County, California’’. A total of 26 units,
including four test units were
excavated. Items removed from the site
included cremated human remains and
charcoal, as well as faunal bone, a bead
made from faunal bone, seeds, stone
tools and flakes, ground stones,
modified disc-shaped and donut-shaped
stones, and projectile points. The
human bone removed from the site was
not identified as human until a
morphological laboratory analysis
following excavation. Five small human
bone fragments were all uncovered in
unit 6, which was located on the
northwestern edge of the excavation in
what archaeologists believed was a
single cremation. The associated
archaeological collection was
temporarily housed in the University of
California Riverside Archaeological
Curation Unit under Accession #101.
The cremated human bone fragments
and charcoal listed in this inventory
were sent to the UCR Radiocarbon
Laboratory under the direction of Dr.
Taylor to be dated and remained in the
UCR collection after testing. The
remainder of the collection was
returned to the landowner, Mr. Keith
Card, in October of 1989. UCR NAGPRA
Program Staff contacted the family and
colleagues of the late Keith Card, but
were unable to locate the other artifacts
removed from the site.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the
information available about the human
remains and associated funerary objects
described in this notice.
Determinations
The University of California,
Riverside has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• The two objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed intentionally with or near
individual human remains at the time of
death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
