notice, including the results of consultation, can be found in its

    This notice amends the determination of cultural affiliation 
published in a notice of inventory completion in the Federal Register 
(88 FR 40854-40855, June 22, 2023). Repatriation of the items in the 
original notice has not occurred.

Determinations

    The LACMNH has determined that:
    <bullet> There is a connection between the human remains described 
in the original notice and the Pueblo of Cochiti, New Mexico; Pueblo of 
San Felipe, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico; and the Santo 
Domingo Pueblo.

Requests for Repatriation

    Written requests for repatriation of the human remains in the 
original notice must be sent to the authorized representative 
identified in this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation 
may be submitted by:
    1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 
organizations identified in this notice.
    2. 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 an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization with 
cultural affiliation.
    Repatriation of the human remains described in the original notice 
to a requestor may occur on or after November 21, 2024. If competing 
requests for repatriation are received, the LACMNH must determine the 
most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint 
repatriation of the human remains are considered a single request and 
not competing requests. The LACMNH is responsible for sending a copy of 
this notice to the Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations 
identified in this notice.
