SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general public and other Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired
format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
November 9, 2021 (86 FR 62203). The public comment period ended on
January 10, 2022. No comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether or not the information will have practical utility.
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection
of information, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used.
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected.
(4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. 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: Authorized by the Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA or the Act 25 U.S.C. 3001-3013), all public
and private museums receiving Federal funds are required to compile
information regarding Native American cultural items in their
possession or control. This information must be provided to lineal
descendants, likely interested Indian tribes, Native Hawaiian
organizations, and the NPS National NAGPRA Program. Under NAGPRA and
its implementing regulations, we are mandated to collect any
information that is pertinent in determining the cultural affiliation
and geographical origin of Native American human remains and cultural
items. This includes descriptions, acquisition data, and records of
consultation. Once the identity and cultural affiliation of human
remains and cultural items are determined, the museum must send written
notice of determination to the affected Indian tribes or Native
Hawaiian organizations and the NAGPRA Program for publication in the
Federal Register.
