ACTION: Notice of amendment to routine uses. SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, FEMA gives notice that it proposes to revise its Disaster Recovery Assistance Files, FEMA/REG-2, to address important issues that arose in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. EFFECTIVE DATE: The amended system of records will be effective August 7, 2006, unless comments are received that result in a contrary determination. The public, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and Congress are invited to comment on the amended system of records. The amended system of records will be applicable to major disasters or emergencies declared on or after July 6, 2006, unless comments are received that result in a contrary determination. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket ID FEMA-2006-0029 by *one* of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: *http://www.regulations.gov.* Follow the instructions for submitting comments; • E-mail: *FEMA-RULES@dhs.gov.* Include the Docket ID in the subject line of the message; • Fax: 202-646-4536 (not a toll-free number); or • Mail/Hand Delivery/Courier: Rules Docket Clerk, Office of General Counsel, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Room 840, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472; Maureen Cooney, Acting Chief Privacy Officer, Department of Homeland Security, 601 S. 12th Street, Arlington, VA 22202.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, FEMA gives notice that it intends to make several changes to its system of records entitled, FEMA/REG-2, Disaster Recovery Assistance Files, which was last published in the **Federal Register** on November 15, 2004 (69 FR 65615). As a result of experiences during Hurricane Katrina and questions raised about FEMA's authority to share vital information needed to assist in disaster recovery and relief, FEMA is revising its Disaster Recovery Assistance Files system of records in several respects. First, FEMA has modified the “Purpose(s)” section to add as a purpose of the system information sharing in the event of another Presidentially-declared major disaster or emergency that adversely impacts a significant portion of the United States. The information FEMA collects during its disaster assistance efforts can be of critical importance to State and local governments, private relief organizations, and law enforcement agencies, and although FEMA believes it has the authority to share information with these partners, it is revising its SORN to make transparent the fact that such sharing is a purpose of the system of records. Second, FEMA intends to add new routine uses that allow for information sharing with Federal agencies, State and local governments or other authorized entities for the purposes of reunifying families, locating missing children, voting, and with law enforcement entities in the event of circumstances involving an evacuation, sheltering, or mass relocation, for purposes of identifying and addressing public safety and security issues. These routine uses are being added to resolve any ambiguities about FEMA's authority to share information under these circumstances and to ensure that necessary information can be disseminated in an efficient and effective manner. FEMA is also making some non-substantive editorial changes to its system notice. FEMA is eliminating routine uses that are related to internal, administrative processes including routine use “(k) Private Relief Legislation,” and “(p) Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA)Discussions with Other Agencies Regarding DHS Documents and Vice Versa.” FEMA is deleting routine uses that are unnecessary including routine use “(h) Requesting Information” and routine use and “(i) Requested Information.” The proposed revisions to this system of records will not change the type or amount of information collected from individuals who apply for disaster assistance. Instead, the revisions will change with whom that information can be shared and for what purposes. FEMA believes that these revisions will allow it to more effectively provide a full range of disaster assistance and meet its responsibilities to share critical information with other Federal, State, and local government agencies as well as private entities involved in various aspects of disaster recovery and relief. In accordance with the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), a report on the revisions to this system notice has been provided to the Office of Management and Budget and to Congress. DHS/FEMA-REG 2 SYSTEM NAME: Disaster Recovery Assistance Files. SYSTEM LOCATION: National Processing Service Centers
(NPSC)located at FEMA MD-NPSC, 6505 Belcrest Road, Hyattsville, MD 20782; FEMA VA-NPSC, 19844 Blue Ridge Mountain Road, Bluemont, VA 20135; FEMA TX-NPSC, 3900 Karina Lane, Denton, TX 76208; and FEMA PR-NPSC, Carr 8860, KM 1.1 Bldg T-1429, Trujillo Alto, PR 00976. CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM: Individuals who apply for disaster recovery assistance through three different mediums including:
(a)electronically via the Internet,
(b)by calling FEMA's toll-free number, or
(c)through the submission of a paper copy of FEMA Form 90-69 following Presidentially-declared major disasters or emergencies. CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
(a)Records of registration for assistance (Form 90-69, Disaster Assistance Registration/Application) include individual applicants' names, addresses, telephone numbers, social security numbers, insurance coverage information, household size and composition, degree of damage incurred, income information, programs to which FEMA refers applicants for assistance, flood zones, location and height of high water level, and preliminary determinations of eligibility for disaster assistance.
(b)Inspection reports (Form 90-56, Inspection Report) contain individuals' identifying information and results of surveys of damaged real and personal property and goods, which may include individuals' homes and personal items.
(c)Temporary housing assistance eligibility determinations (Forms 90-11 through 90-13, 90-16, 90-22, 90-24 through 90-28, 90-31, 90-33, 90-41, 90-48, 90-57, 90-68 through 90-70, 90-71, 90-75 through 90-78, 90-82, 90-86, 90-87, 90-94 through 90-97, 90-99, and 90-101). These refer to approval and disapproval of temporary housing assistance and include: general correspondence, complaints, appeals and resolutions, requests for disbursement of payments, inquiries from tenants and landlords, general administrative and fiscal information, payment schedules and forms, termination notices, information shared with the temporary housing program staff from other agencies to prevent the duplication of benefits, leases, contracts, specifications for repair of disaster damaged residences, reasons for eviction or denial of aid, sales information after tenant purchase of housing units, and the status of disposition of applications for housing.
(d)Eligibility decisions for disaster aid from other Federal and State agencies (for example, the disaster loan program administered by the Small Business Administration, and disaster aid decisions of the State-administered Individual and Family Grants
(IFG)and its successor program, Other Needs Assistance (ONA)) as they relate to determinations of individuals' eligibility for disaster assistance programs.
(e)State files, independently kept by the State, which contains records of persons who request disaster aid, specifically for IFG and its successor program, ONA, and administrative files and reports required by FEMA. As to individuals, the State keeps the same type of information as described above under registration, inspection, and temporary housing assistance records. As to administrative files and reporting requirements, the State uses forms 76-27, 76-28, 76-30, 76-32, 76-34, 76-35, and 76-38. This collection of information is essential to the effective monitoring and management of the IFG and the ONA Program by FEMA's Regional Office staff who have the oversight responsibility of ensuring that the State perform and adhere to FEMA regulations and policy guidance. AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (the Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206 and Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1978. PURPOSE(S): To register applicants needing disaster assistance, to inspect damaged homes, to verify information provided by each applicant, to make eligibility determinations regarding an applicant's request for assistance, and to identify and implement measures to reduce future disaster damage, and for other purposes identified in the “Routine Uses” section below, resulting from a Presidentially-declared major disaster or emergency that adversely impacts a significant portion of the United States. ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a portion of the records or information contained in this system may be disclosed outside DHS or FEMA as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:
(a)FEMA may disclose applicant information to certain agencies as necessary and as described below to prevent a duplication of efforts or a duplication of benefits in determining eligibility for disaster assistance. FEMA shall only release as much information as is necessary to enable the recipient agency to determine eligibility for that agency's particular assistance program(s). The receiving agency is not permitted to alter or to further disclose our disclosed records to other disaster organizations. FEMA may make such disclosures under the following circumstances:
(1)To another Federal agency or State government agency charged with administering disaster relief programs to make available any additional Federal and State disaster assistance to individuals and households.
(2)When an applicant seeks assistance from a local government agency or a voluntary organization (as defined at 44 CFR 206.2(a)(27), as amended or superseded) charged under legislation or charter with administering disaster relief programs, and FEMA receives a written request from that local government or voluntary agency that includes the applicant's name, FEMA registration/application number, and damaged dwelling address. The written request must explain the type of tangible assistance being offered and the type of verification required before the assistance can be provided.
(3)To voluntary organizations (as defined at 44 CFR 206.2(a)(27), as amended or superseded) that have an established disaster assistance program to address the disaster-related unmet needs of disaster victims, are actively involved in the recovery efforts of the disaster, and either have a national membership, in good standing, with the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD), or are participating in the disaster's Long-Term Recovery Committee. When a voluntary agency satisfies all of the criteria listed in this sub-paragraph, FEMA may release lists of individuals' names, contact information, and their FEMA inspected loss amount to the volunteer agency for the sole purpose of providing additional disaster assistance. FEMA shall release this information only while the period for assistance for the current disaster is open.
(b)When an individual's eligibility, in whole or in part, for a DHS/FEMA disaster assistance program depends upon benefits already received or available from another source for the same purpose, FEMA may disclose information to relevant agencies, organizations, and institutions as necessary to determine what benefits are available from another source and to prevent the duplication of disaster assistance benefits (as described in section 312 of the Stafford Act).
(c)In response to a written request, FEMA may disclose information from this system of records to Federal, State, or local government agencies charged with the implementation of hazard mitigation measures and the enforcement of hazard-specific provisions of building codes, standards, and ordinances. FEMA may only disclose information for the following purposes:
(1)For hazard mitigation planning purposes to assist States and local communities in identifying high-risk areas and preparing mitigation plans that target those areas for hazard mitigation projects implemented under Federal, State or local hazard mitigation programs.
(2)For enforcement purposes, to enable State and local communities to ensure that owners repair or rebuild structures in conformance with applicable hazard-specific building codes, standards, and ordinances.
(d)Pursuant to the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, 31 U.S.C. 3325(d) and 7701(c)(1), FEMA is required to collect and release to the United States Department of the Treasury the social security number of the person doing business with FEMA, including an applicant for a grant. Therefore, FEMA will release an applicant's social security number in connection with a request for payment to the U.S. Treasury in order to provide a disaster assistance payment to an applicant under the Individual Assistance program.
(e)FEMA may provide a list of applicants' names, amounts of assistance provided, and related information to a State in connection with billing that State for the applicable non-Federal cost share under the Individuals and Households Program.
(f)When an applicant is occupying a FEMA Temporary Housing unit, FEMA may release only the location of the FEMA Temporary Housing unit to local emergency managers for the sole purpose of preparing emergency evacuation plans. FEMA shall not release any information on an individual, such as their name, type or amount of disaster assistance received.
(g)Where a record, either on its face or in conjunction with other information, indicates a violation or potential violation of law—criminal, civil or regulatory—the relevant records may be referred to an appropriate Federal, State, territorial, tribal, local, international, or foreign agency law enforcement authority or other appropriate agency charged with investigating or prosecuting such a violation or enforcing or implementing such law. In the event of circumstances requiring an evacuation, sheltering, or mass relocation, FEMA may also share applicant information with Federal, State or local law enforcement in order to identify illegal or fraudulent conduct and address public safety or security issues.
(h)To a congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an inquiry from that congressional office made at the request of the individual to whom the record pertains.
(i)To the National Archives and Records Administration or other Federal Government agencies pursuant to records management inspections being conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. sections 2904 and 2906.
(j)To an agency, organization, or individual for the purposes of performing authorized audit or oversight operations.
(k)To contractors, grantees, experts, consultants, students, and others performing or working on a contract, service, grant, cooperative agreement, or other assignment for the Federal Government, when necessary to accomplish an agency function related to this system of records.
(l)To the Department of the Treasury, Justice, the United States Attorney's Office, or a consumer reporting agency for further collection action on any delinquent debt when circumstances warrant.
(m)To the Department of Justice
(DOJ)or other Federal agency conducting litigation or in proceedings before any court, adjudicative or administrative body, when:
(1)DHS, or
(2)any employee of DHS in his/her official capacity, or
(3)any employee of DHS in his/her individual capacity where DOJ or DHS has agreed to represent the employee, or
(4)the United States or any agency thereof, is a party to the litigation or has an interest in such litigation.
(n)Reunification of Families: To a Federal or State law enforcement authority, or agency, or other entity authorized to investigate and/or coordinate locating missing children and/or reuniting families.
(o)Voting: To State and local government election authorities to oversee the voting process within their respective State/county/parish, for the limited purpose of ensuring voting rights of individuals who have applied to FEMA for Disaster Assistance, limited to their own respective State's/county's/parish's citizens who are displaced by a Presidentially-declared major disaster or emergency out of their State/county/parish voting jurisdiction. DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES: Disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(12): FEMA may make disclosures from this system to consumer reporting agencies' as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: STORAGE: Interactive database, computer discs, and paper records in file folders. RETRIEVABILITY: By an individual's name, address, social security number, and case file number. SAFEGUARDS: Only authorized individuals and FEMA employees have access to this information. Hardware and software computer security measures are used to control access to the data. Access to the data is based upon an individual's position in FEMA and/or their designated duties. Individuals are assigned specific “rights” or specific access (e.g., read only, modify, delete, etc.). The access granted is based upon an individual's position responsibilities for “official use” only. FEMA employees are allowed access to the data as a function of their specific job assignments within their respective organizations. Each FEMA employee's access to the data is restricted to that needed to carry out their duties. No individual applying for disaster assistance will have access to the entire database via the Internet. Applicants will have limited access to only their own information that they submitted via the Internet, and to the status of their own information regarding the processing of their own application (e.g. the status of required documentation, inspection status, or SBA status). Applicants are provided a Logon id, password, and Personal Identification Number
(PIN)that connect only to the applicant's data. The password and PIN ensures that the login id belongs to the applicant. Computer security software ensures that the login id is mapped only to the applicant's data. Applicants will have access to only their own application information after FEMA assigns them a properly authenticated user id, password, and PIN. Applicants will be registered and authenticated in accordance with National Institute of Standards and Technology Level 2 Assurance guidelines. RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: Records covered by paragraphs

The human remains and associated funerary objects were removed from the Gila National Forest, Catron County, NM. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. This notice corrects and supercedes the number of human remains and associated funerary objects reported in three notices: Notice of Inventory Completion published in the **Federal Register** on July 22, 1998 [FR Doc. 98-19536, pages 39293-39294]; Notice of Inventory Completion correction published in the **Federal Register** on August 3, 2005 [FR Doc. 05-15316, pages 44686-44687]; and Notice of Inventory Completion correction published in the **Federal Register** on September 27, 2005 [FR Doc. 05-19265, pages 56483-56484]. A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona; Field Museum of Natural History; Logan Museum of Anthropology, Beloit College; Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, University of New Mexico; Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, Museum of New Mexico; Ohio Historical Society; Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University; University of Texas at Austin; U.S. Department of Agriculture, Gila National Forest; and U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Supervisor's Office, Gila National Forest professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. In August 2005, the Field Museum of Natural Historiy, Chicago, IL, re-examined the human remains and associated funerary objects taken from nine sites in the Gila National Forest, Catron County, NM. In 2005, Gila National Forest, Silver City, NM, also re-examined the human remains and associated funerary objects taken from all sites in the Gila National Forest, Catron County, NM. In light of the findings from re-examination, the original Notice of Inventory Completion and previously corrected Notices of Inventory Completion are superceded by this notice.

Based on material culture, architecture, and site organization, the sites LA 2947 and LA 2948 have been identified as two Upland Mogollon pithouses occupied between A.D. 200-1000. In 1971 and 1972, human remains representing a minimum of 34 individuals were removed from sites LA 4988, LA 6082, and LA 6083, Catron County, NM, during legally authorized excavations and collections conducted by David W. Kayser of the Museum of New Mexico. The human remains were curated at the Museum of New Mexico until 2005 when they were transferred to Gila National Forest. No known individuals were identified. The 53 associated funerary objects include ceramic vessels, a stone bowl, and stone tools. Based on material culture, architecture, and site organization, the sites LA 4988, LA6082, and LA6083 have been identified as Upland Mogollon pueblos and a pithouse occupied circa A.D. 1150-1300. In 1973, human remains representing a minimum of six individuals were removed without a permit from an unnamed site northwest of Apache Creek by Mr. Brad Triplehorn. Mr. Triplehorn then donated the human remains to the Ohio Historical Society where they were curated until 2005. The human remains then were transferred to Gila National Forest. No known individuals were identified. The 12 associated funerary objects include ceramic sherds and animal bone. Upland Mogollon villages had pithouses or pueblo-style houses. Most archeological evidence linking Upland Mogollon to present-day Indian tribes relies on ceramics. Continuities of ethnographic materials, technology, and architecture indicate affiliation of the Upland Mogollon with historic and present-day Puebloan cultures. Present-day descendants of the Upland Mogollon are the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. Furthermore, the territory of the Upland Mogollon stretched from south-central Arizona to south-central New Mexico. Today, the Upland Mogollon territories are claimed, currently inhabited, or used by the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. Oral traditions presented by representatives of the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico support cultural affiliation with the Upland Mogollon sites described above in this portion of southwestern New Mexico. Officials of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Gila National Forest have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of 210 individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Gila National Forest have also determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 369 objects 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. Lastly, officials of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Gila National Forest have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and the associated funerary objects and the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary objects should contact Dr. Frank E. Wozniak, NAGPRA Coordinator, Southwestern Region, USDA Forest Service, 333 Broadway Blvd., S.E., Albuquerque, NM 87102; telephone
(505)842-3238, before August 7, 2006. Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Gila National Forest is responsible for notifying the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico that this notice has been published.

E6-10512 Filed 7-5-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4312-50-S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items: American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural items in the possession of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY, that meet the definition of “unassociated funerary objects” under 25 U.S.C. 3001. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the cultural items. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. The approximately 183 cultural items include carved sticks and figures, wood dishes, pendants, spoons, coins, buttons, and beads. In 1882, Mr. James Terry, collected 28 cultural items from “Tum-wa-ta, Memaluse Rock, Columbia River, Oregon.” The 28 cultural items are 1 carved stick, 1 stick with holes, 2 dancing sticks, 2 carved figures, 4 wood dishes, 1 bone pendant, 2 bone spoons, 3 horn spoons, 3 copper beads, 1 horn truss, 1 whip handle, 3 wood tubes, 1 bear claw, 1 basket, and 2 pendants. The museum acquired the cultural items from Mr. Terry in 1891 when the museum purchased his entire collection of more than 26,000 items. The museum accessioned the items between 1891 and 1893. Mr. Terry's “Memaluse Rock” is likely to be one of two Memaloose Islands located near present-day The Dalles, OR. The two dancing sticks are carved with anthropomorphic figures. The two carved figures are also anthropomorphic; one figure is holding a shield and both figures have inlaid shell eyes. The dancing sticks and carved figures are approximately 30 centimeters in length and 7 centimeters wide. At an unknown date, A.W. Robinson collected two cultural items from Memaloose Island, OR. The two cultural items are one iron bracelet and one copper ceremonial object. Morris Jesup, President of the American Museum of Natural History, purchased part of Mr. Robinson's collection and gifted it to the museum in 1902. At an unknown date, Dr. Simms collected two brass bells, probably from Memaloose Island, OR. The museum received the bells as a gift and accessioned them in 1903. Historically, the Memaloose Islands were used by the local Upper Chinook and Sahaptin inhabitants to bury their dead, usually in above-ground charnel houses. The Upper Chinook and Sahaptin people of the Middle Columbia region are ancestors of members of the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Reservation, Washington and Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, Oregon. In 1882, Mr. Terry collected at least 151 cultural items from “Chenoworth Rock, Columbia River, Washington.” The cultural items are 1 carved board, and at least 150 coins, buttons, and glass beads. The museum acquired the cultural items from Mr. Terry in 1891 when the museum purchased his collection. The museum accessioned the items between 1891 and 1893. Mr. Terry indicated that the coins, buttons, and glass beads were collected from a “Burial on Chenoworth Rock” and that the carved board was from a “Dead House on Chenoworth Rock.” Mr. Terry also indicated that Chenoworth Rock is near the ”. . . mouth of the Little White Salmon River,” which is approximately 10 miles west of The Dalles, OR. The board is rectangular, carved with an anthropomorphic figure and measures 181 centimeters long by 57 centimeters wide. The coins date to the early and mid 1800s, and the buttons and glass beads indicate a postcontact date for the burial. The locale of the unassociated funerary objects is consistent with the postcontact territory of the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Reservation, Washington and the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, Oregon. Officials of the American Museum of Natural History have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the approximately 183 cultural items 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. Officials of the American Museum of Natural History also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the unassociated funerary objects and the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Reservation, Washington and Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, Oregon. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the unassociated funerary objects should contact Nell Murphy, Director of Cultural Resources, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024, telephone
(212)769-5837, before August 7, 2006. Repatriation of the unassociated funerary objects to the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Reservation, Washington and Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, Oregon may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The American Museum of Natural History is responsible for notifying the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Reservation, Washington and Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, Oregon that this notice has been published. Dated: June 15, 2006. Sherry Hutt, Manager, National NAGPRA Program. [FR Doc. E6-10524 Filed 7-5-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4312-50-S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Inventory Completion: American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains and associated funerary objects in the possession of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY. The human remains and associated funerary objects were removed from Santa Barbara County, CA. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by American Museum of Natural History professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation, California. In 1876, human remains representing two individuals were collected from Carpinteria, Santa Barbara County, CA, by Stephen Bowers. The human remains were purchased from James Terry by the museum in 1891. The museum did not find any information on how or when Mr. Terry acquired the human remains and associated funerary objects from Mr. Bowers. No known individuals were identified. The four associated funerary objects are three copper spindles and one copper rod. The individual has been identified as Native American based on geographic and historical evidence. The associated funerary objects suggest that the human remains date to the contact period. Historic records identify the Chumash Indians as the inhabitants of the Santa Barbara area. The human remains were collected from Carpinteria, CA, which is the modern city nearly superimposed over the historic coastal Chumash settlement of Misopsno. In 1855, a small plot of land on a creek near the Santa Ynez Mission was given to the remaining Chumash Indians. One hundred and nine members of the tribe settled there, supporting a historical connection between the present-day Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation, California and the archeologically known Coastal Chumash. In 1882, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were collected from Burton Mound, Santa Barbara County, CA, by Ben Burton. The museum purchased the human remains from Mr. Terry in 1891. The museum did not find any information on how or when Mr. Terry acquired the human remains. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The individual has been identified as Native American based on geographical and historical information. Based on the occupation dates for the Burton Mound site, the human remains may be late precontact to contact in age. The human remains were collected from the postcontact territory of the Eastern Coastal Chumash. Archeological research indicates continuity in coastal Chumash society from at least the late precontact period and perhaps considerably earlier. At an unknown date, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were collected from San Miguel Island, Santa Barbara County, CA, by an unknown collector. The human remains were purchased by the museum in 1935 from Edward Oswald. It is unknown how or when Mr. Oswald acquired the human remains. No known individual was identified. The 433 associated funerary objects are shell beads. The individual has been identified as Native American based on geographic and historical evidence. The associated funerary objects suggest that the human remains date to a period from circa A.D. 1500 through the mid-nineteenth century. San Miguel Island is one of the Channel Islands, which are historically associated with the Chumash people, and archeologists have suggested that there is considerable cultural continuity in this area. The establishment of Spanish missions resulted in the dispersal of the Island Chumash. The 109 Chumash Indians who settled on the small plot of land near the Santa Ynez Mission given to them in 1855, support a historical connection between the present-day Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation, California and the Island Chumash people. Officials of the American Museum of Natural History have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of four individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the American Museum of Natural History also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 437 objects 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. Lastly, officials of the American Museum of Natural History have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects and the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation, California.

Action: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains and associated funerary objects in the control of the U.S. Department of Defense, Army Corps of Engineers-Memphis District, Memphis, TN, and U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service-Southeast Region, Savannah, GA; and in the possession of the Arkansas Archeological Survey, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR. The human remains and associated funerary objects were removed from Mississippi County, AR. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003
(d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal Agency that has control of the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by Arkansas Archeological Survey, University of Arkansas, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Memphis District professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Absentee-Shawnee Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma; Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town, Oklahoma; Chickasaw Nation, Oklahoma; Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma; Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, Mississippi; Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Oklahoma; Osage Tribe, Oklahoma; Quapaw Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma; Thlopthlocco Tribal Town, Oklahoma; and United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma. Between 1969 and 1976, human remains representing a minimum of 35 individuals were removed from the Zebree site (3MS20), Mississippi County, AR, during a planned excavation by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Memphis District. The human remains were transferred to and continue to be curated at the University of Arkansas Collections Facility in Fayetteville, AR. No known individuals were identified. The two associated funerary objects are a Neeley's Ferry plain bottle and a fish effigy bowl. An unspecified number of shell beads associated with one individual were documented as “lost in the field.” The Zebree site, originally discovered in 1967, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Zebree Homestead and is located in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Big Lake National Wildlife Refuge. The site was a major village site in Arkansas. The Big Lake phase component at Zebree was superimposed directly upon a Dunklin phase occupation. Archeological evidence indicates that the human remains and associated funerary objects date to the Early (circa A.D. 900-1100) and Middle Mississippian (circa A.D. 1100-1300). Oral history evidence presented by representatives of the Quapaw Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma indicates that the region including Mississippi County has long been included in the traditional and hunting territory of the Quapaw. Historical documents, specifically French colonial documents and maps circa A.D. 1673-1720, indicate that only the Quapaw had villages in eastern Arkansas and the area of northeastern Arkansas was used as hunting territory. Officials of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Memphis District and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-Southeast Region have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of a minimum of 35 individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Memphis District and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-Southeast Region also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the two objects described above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near the individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony.

Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate a cultural item in the possession of the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL, that meets the definition of “sacred object” under 25 U.S.C. 3001. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the cultural item. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. The one cultural item is a pipe (FM 68555), which consists of a stem carved from wood, stained dark blue and measuring 24.2 x 1.8 inches. Upon one side of the stem is written in black ink, “Pipe of Paul Sawgonkwado - Cross Village Mich - Aug 1893.” At an unknown date, Walter C. Wyman acquired the pipe under unknown circumstances. The museum purchased the pipe from Mr. Wyman in December of 1900. The museum accessioned the pipe into its collection that same year. Museum records indicate that the pipe is “Ottawa” and that it was acquired in Cross Village, MI. The cultural affiliation of the pipe is Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians as indicated by museum records and by consultation evidence presented by the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan. During consultation, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians traditional religious leaders presented evidence that the pipe is needed for the practice of a traditional Native American religion. Officials of the Field Museum of Natural History have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), the cultural item described above is a specific ceremonial object needed by traditional Native American religious leaders for the practice of traditional Native American religions by their present-day adherents. Officials of the Field Museum of Natural History also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the sacred object and the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan. Lastly, officials of the Field Museum of Natural History have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (13), the museum has right of possession of the pipe, but has decided to waive that right. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the sacred object should contact Jonathan Haas, MacArthur Curator of North American Anthropology, Field Museum of Natural History, 1400 South Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60605, telephone
(312)665-7829, before August 7, 2006. Repatriation of the sacred object to the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Field Museum of Natural History is responsible for notifying the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Michigan; Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, Michigan; and Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan that this notice has been published.

E6-10510 Filed 7-5-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4312-50-S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items: Horner Collection, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural items in the possession of the Horner Collection, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, that meet the definition of “unassociated funerary objects” under 25 U.S.C. 3001. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the cultural items. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. The Museum of Oregon Country, Oregon Agricultural College was renamed the John B. Horner Museum of the Oregon Country in 1936, and became commonly known as the Horner Museum. The Oregon Agricultural College was renamed the Oregon State College in 1937, and became Oregon State University in 1962. The Horner Museum closed in 1995. Currently, cultural items from the Horner Museum are referred to as the Horner Collection, which is owned by, and in the possession of, Oregon State University. Horner Collection, Oregon State University professional staff consulted with representatives of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon, Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Indians of Oregon, and Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida. The Seminole Tribe of Florida, Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa Reservations and Seminole Nation of Oklahoma were informed, but did not participate in the consultations. At an unknown date, two necklaces composed of French porcelain beads, alligator teeth, iron grape beads, and Sea beans were removed from an unknown location. J.L. Hill loaned the necklaces to the Horner Museum in 1933, and they were gifted to the Horner Museum by the heirs of Mr. Hill in 1981. Although the necklaces are nearly identical, museum records indicate only one is Seminole in cultural affiliation. A representative of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida has identified the two cultural items as traditional to the Miccosukee and as cultural items that would have been buried with their owner. The Horner Collection, Oregon State University has no evidence the cultural items were ever buried with any individual. However, Mr. Hill is known to have collected human remains and cultural items from burials and mounds. Based on information obtained through consultation, the Horner Collection, Oregon State University has identified the two cultural items as unassociated funerary objects. Officials of the Horner Collection, Oregon State University have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the two 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. Officials of the Horner Collection, Oregon State University also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the two unassociated funerary objects and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the unassociated funerary objects should contact Sabah Randhawa, Executive Vice President and Provost, President's Office, Oregon State University, 600 Kerr Administration Building, Corvallis, OR 97331, telephone
(541)737-8260, before August 7, 2006. Repatriation of the unassociated funerary objects to the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Horner Collection, Oregon State University is responsible for notifying the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon; Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Indians of Oregon; Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida; Seminole Tribe of Florida, Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa Reservations; and Seminole Nation of Oklahoma that this notice has been published.

ACTION: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate a cultural item in the possession of the Institute for American Indian Studies, Washington, CT, that meets the definition of “sacred object” under 25 U.S.C. 3001. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the cultural item. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. The one cultural item is an Onondaga False Face mask. In 1993, an Onondaga False Face mask (#67.29.14) was transferred from the Mattatuck Museum, Waterbury, CT, to the Institute for American Indian Studies. The mask had been transferred to the Mattatuck Museum from the Museum of the American Indian/Heye Foundation, New York, NY, on October 20, 1967. The only information on the mask derives from the Mattatuck accession records, which note the following: “Onondago [sic] Reservation, NY, 1946.” According to museum records and Institute for American Indian Studies professional staff and consultants, the mask is a sacred object used by Native American religious practitioners in healing and other religious ceremonies. Consultation with the Onondaga Nation of New York confirm and support that the mask is of Native American religious importance to the Onondaga people. Officials of the Institute for American Indian Studies have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), the cultural item described above is a specific ceremonial object needed by traditional Native American religious leaders for the practice of traditional Native American religions by their present-day adherents. Officials of the Institute for American Indian Studies also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the sacred object and the Onondaga Nation of New York. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the sacred object should contact Dr. Lucianne Lavin, Director of Research and Collections, Institute for American Indian Studies, 38 Curtis Road, Washington, CT 06793, telephone
(860)868-0518, before August 7, 2006. Repatriation of the sacred object to the Onondaga Nation of New York may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward.

E6-10509 Filed 7-5-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4312-50-S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items: Institute for American Indian Studies, Washington, CT AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural items in the possession of the Institute for American Indian Studies, Washington, CT, that meet the definition of “unassociated funerary objects” under 25 U.S.C. 3001. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the cultural items. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. The two cultural items are elbow pipes. The first elbow pipe is a plain burnished clay elbow pipe bowl and part of a stem. The second pipe is a “copper pipe” with a thin stem 6 inches in length. In the early 1970s, the Institute for American Indian Studies purchased the two cultural items from the Rogers family as part of their acquisition of the Edward H. Rogers collection. Mr. Rogers was a collector residing in Devon, CT, who excavated, traded, and bought archeological items from throughout the Western Hemisphere. The bulk of his collection is from New England. It was accumulated during the early and mid-twentieth century. According to Mr. Rogers' notebooks, he purchased the two elbow pipes from Mr. Harry Hathaway of Devon, CT, in 1940. According to Mr. Rogers' notes, Mr. Hathaway believed that Mr. Andrew Chase had removed the two elbow pipes, along with a glass bottle and spectacles, from an “Indian Grave” in Tiverton, RI, in 1900. Nothing further is known about the present disposition of the glass bottle and spectacles. Since the lands presently known as Rhode Island are claimed by the Narragansett Indian Tribe of Rhode Island as their ancient homelands, and the claim appears to be supported by historical documents, the Institute for American Indian Studies believes that a preponderance of evidence shows a cultural affiliation with the Narragansett peoples. Officials of the Institute for American Indian Studies have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the two 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. Officials of the Institute for American Indian Studies also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the two unassociated funerary objects and the Narragansett Indian Tribe of Rhode Island.

E6-10522 Filed 7-5-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4312-50-S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Inventory Completion: University of Nebraska State Museum, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln NE AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice. Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains and associated funerary objects in the possession of the University of Nebraska State Museum, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE. The human remains were collected from Dakota, Douglas, and Thurston Counties, NE and from an unknown location. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native American human remains. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by University of Nebraska State Museum professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. At an unknown time, human remains representing a minimum of four individuals were removed from an unknown location. In 1998, the human remains, which were labelled “Omaha 2,3,4,5” were found in Bessey Hall on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The human remains show evidence of having been the subject of scientific analysis, but the sample numbers cannot be related to any records of prior study. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The condition of the human remains is consistent with archeological derivation. Given the designation “Omaha” on the labels, and that prior studies on Omaha human remains have been conducted under University of Nebraska auspices, it has been determined that the individuals are affiliated with the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. On December 8, 1932, human remains representing a minimum of two individuals were removed from the Omaha Creek site in Dakota and Thurston Counties, NE, by the University of Nebraska Archaeological Survey. No known individuals were identified. The 71 associated funerary objects are 8 copper thimbles, 19 copper feather holders, 5 metal buttons, 8 textile scraps, 2 mirror fragments, 27 iron fragments, 1 chipped stone tool fragment, and 1 gunflint. Based on the condition of the human remains, the individuals have been determined to be Native American. Based on the apparent historic age of the human remains, the location of the burial, and the historic nature of the associated funerary objects, the individuals have been determined to be affiliated with the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. In 1907, human remains representing a minimum of four individuals were removed from the Ponca Creek District in Douglas County, NE, by Robert F. Gilder under the auspices of the University of Nebraska State Museum. The site is approximately 10 miles north of the city of Omaha on the south side of Ponca Creek. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Preservation resembles that of human remains from historic sites. A tag on the human remains states “from presumably Omaha burial.” Based on the condition of the human remains, the individuals have been determined to be Native American. Based on the apparent historic age and location of burial, the individuals have been determined to be affiliated with the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. Officials of the University of Nebraska have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of ten individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the University of Nebraska also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 71 objects 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. Lastly, officials of the University of Nebraska have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects and the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary objects should contact Priscilla Grew, NAGPRA Coordinator, University of Nebraska State Museum, 307 Morrill Hall, Lincoln, NE 68588-0338, telephone
(402)472-3779 before August 7, 2006.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 201.16(d) and 210.13(a), such responses will be considered by the Commission if received not later than 20 days after the date of service by the Commission of the complaint and the notice of investigation. Extensions of time for submitting responses to the complaint and the notice of investigation will not be granted unless good cause therefor is shown. Failure of a respondent to file a timely response to each allegation in the complaint and in this notice may be deemed to constitute a waiver of the right to appear and contest the allegations of the complaint and this notice, and to authorize the administrative law judge and the Commission, without further notice to the respondents, to find the facts to be as alleged in the complaint and this notice and to enter an initial determination and a final determination containing such findings, and may result in the issuance of a limited exclusion order or cease and desist order or both directed against the respondent. By order of the Commission. Issued: June 29, 2006. Marilyn R. Abbott, Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc. E6-10539 Filed 7-5-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7020-02-P DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Notice of Public Comment Period for Proposed First Amendment to Consent Decree Under the Clean Air Act Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that, for a period of 30 days, the United States will receive public comments on a proposed First Amendment to Consent Decree in *United States and the State of Minnesota* v. *Koch Petroleum Group, L.P.* (Civil Action No. 00-CV-2756), which was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on June 23, 2006. Koch recently changed its corporate name and is now known as Flint Hills Resources, LP (“FHR”). The parties are amending the April 25, 2001, Consent Decree in this national, multi-facility Clean Air Act (“Act”) enforcement action against FHR pursuant to Section 113(b) of the Clean Air Act (“CAA”), 42 U.S.C. 7413(b) (1983), *amended by,* 42 U.S.C. 7413(b) (Supp. 1991). The original settlement, covering three refineries, was entered by the Court on April 25, 2001, as part of EPA's Petroleum Refinery Initiative. The proposed Amendment allows FHR additional time to conduct studies of various nitrogen oxide (“NO <sup>X</sup> ”) reducing catalysts and to decide on the final NO <sup>X</sup> control scheme for the fluidized catalytic cracking unit (“FCCU”) at the Pine Bend, Minnesota, facility. Second, the Amendment establishes a process to address any leaks of process fluids into the non-contract, recirculating cooling tower systems as required by the National Emission Standard for Benzene Waste Operations, 40 CFR part 61, subpart FF. Third, and finally, the Amendment exempts two heaters in the FHR system from the application of current or next generation ultra low-NO <sup>X</sup> burners, but requires FHR to install specific control technology and accept restrictive emission limits for these two heaters. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, P.O. Box 7611, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611, and should refer to *United States and the State of Minnesota* v. *Koch Petroleum Group, L.P.,* D.J. Ref 90-5-2-1-07110. The First Amendment to Consent Decree may be examined at the Office of the United States Attorney, District of Minnesota, 600 U.S. Courthouse, 300 South Fourth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55415.
