E7-2053 Filed 2-7-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4410-10-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service Bear Butte National Wildlife Refuge AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice of availability of draft comprehensive conservation plan; request for comments. SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces that a combined Draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan
(CCP)and Environmental Assessment
(EA)for Bear Butte National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) is available. This CCP describes how the Service intends to manage the Refuge for the next 15 years. DATES: Written comments must be received at the postal or electronic address listed below on or before April 9, 2007. ADDRESSES: A copy of the document may be obtained by writing to Linda Kelly, Planning Team Leader, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Refuge Planning, Box 25486, Denver, Colorado 80225-0486; or electronically to *linda_kelly@fws.gov* ; or downloaded from *http://mountain-prairie.fws.gov/planning* . Please provide written comments to Ms. Kelly at the address above. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Linda Kelly at 303-236-8132; fax: 303-236-4792; or e-mail: *linda_kelly@fws.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Refuge was established as a Limited-interest Refuge in the late 1930s with the acquisition of easements from private landowners, the State of South Dakota (State) and the War Department (now transferred to the Bureau of Land Management at Fort Meade), to maintain an area for “migratory bird, wildlife conservation, and other purposes.” The Refuge is 374.20 acres and has no fee title. The easement obtained from the State only applies to lands below the ordinary high-water mark of the lake. A cooperative agreement was entered into with the State on July 12, 1967, to administer, operate and maintain the Refuge pursuant to the rights and interest in real property acquired by the United States, and more particularly described in the easement agreements. Under the No Action Alternative, the Service would continue to manage the Refuge within the parameters of the cooperative agreement with South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks. Existing habitat within the easement and all public programs would continue to be administered and maintained by the State. Current habitat and wildlife management practices would be carried out by State Game, Fish, and Parks personnel, and levels of public use would remain the same. The facilities and activities (hiking, picnicking, designated camping, fishing and a horse camp) would remain the same. Alternative B (Proposed Action) would relinquish the easements to the current landowners. This alternative would take the Refuge out of the Refuge System and transfer the easements to current landowners. Under this alternative, the habitat, public use, cultural resources and operations would be managed by the landowners. The Service's easement requirements would no longer exist. The Service would divest its interest in the Refuge. This would be carried out within the 15-year life of the plan. Once the CCP is approved, the managing station would work with the Division of Realty and the Division of Planning, Land Protection Planning Branch, to prepare a combined program proposal to divest this Refuge. The proposal would be submitted to the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission for concurrence and then submitted for congressional approval. The Proposed Action was selected because it best meets the purposes and goals of the Refuge, as well as the goals of the National Wildlife Refuge System. Dated: June 8, 2006. Elliott Sutta, Acting Regional Director, Region 6, Denver, CO. Editorial Note: This document was received at the Office of the Federal Register on February 2, 2007. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: On behalf of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management proposes to extend the duration of Public Land Order
(PLO)No. 6676 for an additional 20-year period. This order withdrew approximately 600 acres of National Forest System land from settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general land laws, including the United States mining laws, to protect the Cape Fanshaw Natural Area. This notice gives an opportunity to comment on the proposed action and to request a public meeting. DATES: Comments and requests for a public meeting must be received by May 9, 2007. ADDRESSES: Comments and meeting requests should be sent to the Alaska State Director, BLM Alaska State Office, 222 West 7th Avenue, No. 13, Anchorage, Alaska 99513-7599. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terrie D. Evarts, BLM Alaska State Office, 907-271-5630. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The withdrawal created by PLO No. 6676 (53 FR 18282, May 23, 1988), will expire on May 22, 2008, unless extended. The USDA Forest Service has filed an application to extend the withdrawal for an additional 20-year period to protect the natural ecological complex of the USDA Forest Service Natural Area. This withdrawal comprises approximately 600 acres of National Forest System land located in secs. 3, 4, 9 and 10, T. 54 S., R. 75 E., Copper River Meridian, and is described in PLO No. 6676. A complete description can be provided by the BLM Alaska State Office at the address shown above. As extended, the withdrawal would not alter the applicability of those public land laws governing the use of National Forest System land under lease, license, or permit or governing the disposal of the mineral or vegetative resources other than under the mining laws. The use of a right-of-way or interagency or cooperative agreement would not adequately protect the Federal investment in the Cape Fanshaw Natural Area. There are no suitable alternative sites available since the Cape Fanshaw Natural Area is unique and may not be substituted for the above-described public land. No water rights would be needed to fulfill the purpose of the requested withdrawal extension. For a period of 90 days from the date of publication of this notice, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or objections in connection with the proposed withdrawal extension may present their views in writing to the BLM State Director at the address indicated above. Individual respondents may request confidentiality. If you wish to withhold your name or address from public review or from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comments. Such requests will be honored to the extent allowed by law. All submissions from organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, will be made available for public inspection in their entirety. Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting is afforded in connection with the proposed withdrawal extension. All interested parties who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being heard on the proposed withdrawal must submit a written request to the State Director at the address indicated above within 90 days from the publication of this notice. Upon determination by the authorized officer that a public meeting will be held, a notice of the time and place will be published in the **Federal Register** at least 30 days before the scheduled date of the meeting. The withdrawal extension proposal will be processed in accordance with the regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2310.4 and subject to Section 810 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, 16 U.S.C. 3120 (2000).

ACTION: Interim Final Supplementary Rules with request for comments. SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Salt Lake Field Office, is implementing interim final supplementary rules and requesting comments for the Simpson Springs Recreation Area. The BLM has determined these interim final supplementary rules are necessary to: Enhance the safety of visitors, protect public health, protect natural resources, and improve recreation experiences and opportunities. DATES: These interim final supplementary rules are effective February 8, 2007. We invite comments until April 9, 2007. ADDRESSES: Mail or hand deliver all comments concerning these interim final supplementary rules to the Bureau of Land Management, Salt Lake Field Office, 2370 S. 2300 W. Salt Lake City, Utah 84119, or e-mail comments to *Mail_UT-Salt_Lake@blm.gov* . FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ray Kelsey, Outdoor Recreation Planner, 2370 S. 2300 W. Salt Lake City, Utah 84119, 801-977-4300. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The BLM is establishing these interim final supplementary rules under the authority of 43 CFR 8365.1-6, which allows BLM State Directors to establish such rules for the protection of persons, property, and public lands and resources. This regulatory provision allows the BLM to issue rules of less than national effect without codifying the rules in the Code of Federal Regulations. Upon completion, the rules will be available for inspection in the Salt Lake Field Office; they will be posted at the Simpson Springs Recreation Area; and they will be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the affected vicinity. The overall program authority for the operation of this recreation site is found in sections 302 and 310 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1732, 1740). These interim final supplementary rules are necessary because of public safety concerns and resource impacts from ongoing recreational use in the Simpson Springs Recreation Area. Specifically, monitoring by BLM personnel and incident reports have determined that unregulated dispersed camping and increased off-highway vehicle use continues to disturb water sources and other habitat elements vital to survival of desert species. The public has been involved in planning for the management of the area through the Simpson Springs Recreation Area Management Plan
(RAMP)process and review under National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Simpson Springs RAMP includes supplementary rules that are to be published concerning rules of conduct for public use. The comment period for these interim final supplementary rules will allow the public an additional opportunity for input on proposed management changes at the Simpson Springs Recreation Area. The Salt Lake Field Office has taken the following steps to involve the public in planning for the area and developing the policies contained in the interim final supplementary rules: • As part of the NEPA process, public notification of the initiation of the Simpson Springs RAMP and the environmental review process was published on Feb. 26, 2005. • A news release and solicitation of comments were published in local papers and posted at the Simpson Springs campground bulletin board in March 2006. Comments were accepted through mail, hand delivery, or by e-mail. • The Draft Simpson Springs RAMP was available for review at the Field Office until August 2005. Copies were e-mailed to members of the public who had expressed an interest in the area. • No comments on the Simpson Springs RAMP were received. Under these circumstances, the BLM finds good cause to issue these interim final supplementary rules for the Simpson Springs Recreation Area. The public is now invited to provide additional comments on the interim final supplementary rules. See the DATES and ADDRESSES sections for information on submitting comments. II. Interim Final Supplementary Rules for the Simpson Springs Recreation Area Section 1 Definitions *Simpson Springs Recreation Area (SSRA).* The SSRA is a distinct administrative unit within the Pony Express Special Recreation Management Area and encompasses public lands located in: Township 9 South Range 8 West Section 7: Lot 4, SE 1/4 SW 1/4 , S 1/2 SE 1/4 Section 17: W 1/2 NW 1/4 , NW 1/4 SW 1/4 Section 18: Lots 1 and 2, NE 1/4 , E 1/2 NW 1/4 , NE 1/4 SW 1/4 , N 1/2 SE 1/4 *Off-highway vehicle.* Any motorized vehicle capable of, or designed for, travel on or immediately over land, water, or other natural terrain, excluding:

Section 3 Penalties Violations of these interim final supplementary rules are punishable by a fine not to exceed $100,000 and/or imprisonment not to exceed 12 months, as provided in Section 303 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (43 U.S.C. 1733), and may be subject to the enhanced penalties under the Sentencing Reform Act (18 U.S.C. 3571). III. Procedural Matters Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review These interim final supplementary rules are not a significant regulatory action and are not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866. These interim final supplementary rules will not have an effect of $100 million or more on the economy. They are not intended to affect commercial activity, but contain rules of conduct for public use of a certain recreational area. They will not adversely affect, in a material way, the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or communities. These interim final supplementary rules will not create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by another agency. The interim final supplementary rules do not alter the budgetary effects of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan programs or the right or obligations of their recipients; nor do they raise novel legal or policy issues. Clarity of the Interim Final Supplementary Rules Executive Order 12866 requires each agency to write regulations that are simple and easy to understand. We invite your comments on how to make these interim final supplementary rules easier to understand, including answers to questions such as the following:
(1)Are the requirements in the interim final supplementary rules clearly stated?
(2)Do the interim final supplementary rules contain technical language or jargon that interferes with their clarity?
(3)Does the format of the interim final supplementary rules (grouping and order of sections, use of headings, paragraphing, etc.) aid or reduce their clarity?
(4)Would the interim final supplementary rules be easier to understand if they were divided into more (but shorter) sections?
(5)Is the description of the interim final supplementary rules in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this preamble helpful in understanding the interim final supplementary rules? How could this description be more helpful in making the interim final supplementary rules easier to understand? Please send any comments you have on the clarity of the interim final supplementary rules to the address specified in the ADDRESSES section. National Environmental Policy Act The BLM has prepared an environmental assessment
(EA)dated September 29, 2005, and has found that the interim final supplementary rules would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment under Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C). The interim final supplementary rules merely contain rules of conduct for the Simpson Springs Recreation Area. These rules are designed to protect the environment and the public health and safety. A detailed statement under NEPA is not required. BLM has placed the EA and the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) on file in the BLM Administrative Record at the address specified in the ADDRESSES section. Regulatory Flexibility Act Congress enacted the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA)of 1980, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, to ensure that Government regulations do not unnecessarily or disproportionately burden small entities. The RFA requires a regulatory flexibility analysis if a rule would have a significant economic impact, either detrimental or beneficial, on a substantial number of small entities. The interim final supplementary rules do not pertain specifically to commercial or governmental entities of any size, but to public recreational use of specific public lands. Therefore, BLM has determined under the RFA that these interim final supplementary rules would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) These interim final supplementary rules do not constitute a “major rule” as defined at 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The interim final supplementary rules merely contain rules of conduct for recreational use of certain public lands. The interim final supplementary rules have no effect on business, commercial, or industrial use of the public lands. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act These interim final supplementary rules do not impose an unfunded mandate on State, local, or tribal governments or the private sector of more than $100 million per year; nor do these interim final supplementary rules have a significant or unique effect on State, local, or tribal governments or the private sector. The interim final supplementary rules do not require anything of State, local, or tribal governments. Therefore, the BLM is not required to prepare a statement containing the information required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C 1531 *et seq.* ). Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions and Interference With Constitutionally Protected Property Rights (Takings) The interim final supplementary rules do not represent a government action capable of interfering with constitutionally protected property rights. The interim final supplementary rules do not address property rights in any form, and do not cause the impairment of anybody's property rights. Therefore, the Department of the Interior has determined that these interim final supplementary rules would not cause a taking of private property or require further discussion of takings implications under this Executive Order. Executive Order 13132, Federalism The interim final supplementary rules will not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. The interim final supplementary rules affect land in only one State, Utah, and do not address jurisdictional issues involving the State government. Therefore, in accordance with Executive Order 13132, BLM has determined that these interim final supplementary rules do not have sufficient Federalism implications to warrant preparation of a Federalism Assessment. Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform Under Executive Order 12988, we have determined that these interim final supplementary rules will not unduly burden the judicial system and that they meet the requirements of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the Order. Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (E.O. 13175) In accordance with Executive Order 13175, we have found that these interim final supplementary rules do not include policies that have tribal implications. The interim final supplementary rules do not affect lands held for the benefit of Indians, Aleuts, or Eskimos. Paperwork Reduction Act These interim final supplementary rules do not contain information collection requirements that the Office of Management and Budget must approve under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* Dated: December 15, 2006.

E7-2064 Filed 2-7-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-$$-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Inventory Completion: Thomas Burke Memorial Washington State Museum, University of Washington, Seattle, WA and Central Washington University, Department of Anthropology and Museum, Ellensburg, WA 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 control of the Thomas Burke Memorial Washington State Museum (Burke Museum), University of Washington, Seattle, WA and Central Washington University, Department of Anthropology and Museum, Ellensburg, WA. The human remains and associated funerary objects were removed from Yakima County, WA. 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 the Burke Museum and Central Washington University professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Washington; Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Washington; Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation, Oregon; and Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon. In 1956, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from Wenas Creek (45-YK-51), Yakima County, WA, by Claude Warren, University of Washington student, as a part of an excavation for the Pacific Northwest Pipeline Survey. In 1966, the collection was formally accessioned by the museum (Burke Accn. #1966-85). In February 1974, the Burke Museum legally transferred portions of the human remains from Burial #2 to Central Washington University. No known individual was identified. The 68 associated funerary objects are 13 mammal bone fragments, 2 fish bones, 28 dog bones, 1 rodent bone, 1 deer bone, 1 antler fragment, 10 charcoal fragments, 10 flakes, 1 hammer stone, and 1 unmodified stone. The burial was discovered in a flexed position at the bottom of a talus slope and was covered with a stone cyst of basalt and river cobbles. There is evidence of burning on the right scapula, but no other indication of cremation. This burial pattern is consistent with Yakama burial practices (Schuster 1990: 338). According to Mr. Warren, a copper kettle was placed over the top of the human remains, indicating a historic burial. The whereabouts of the copper kettle are unknown and the Burke Museum has no record of this copper kettle in their collection. Wenas Creek falls within the lands ceded to the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Washington in the Yakima Treaty of 1855. Published ethnographic information confirms that the area surrounding Wenas Creek was culturally affiliated with the Yakama (Swanton 1952, Daugherty 1973, Schuster 1998, Mooney 1896, Ray 1936, and Spier 1936). Furthermore, the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Washington have identified site 45-YK-51 as part of their traditional occupation area from pre-contact times and within their aboriginal territory. The Si'la-hlama band of the Yakama people occupied the area along the Yakima River between Wenas Creek and Umtanum Creeks (Swanton 1952). The Lower Yakima bands were also associated with the area (Schuster 1998). Descendants of the Si'la-hlama and Lower Yakima bands are members of the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Washington. Officials of the Burke Museum and Central Washington University have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry. Officials of the Burke Museum and Central Washington University also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 68 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 Burke Museum and Central Washington University 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 Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Washington. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary objects should contact Dr. Peter Lape, Burke Museum, University of Washington, Box 353010, Seattle, WA 98195-3010, telephone
(206)685-2282 and Lourdes Henebry- DeLeon, NAGPRA Program Director, Central Washington University, Department of Anthropology and Museum, Mailstop 7544, Ellensburg, WA 98926, telephone
(509)963-2671 before March 12, 2007. Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects to the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Washington may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Burke Museum is responsible for notifying the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Washington; Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Washington; Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation, Oregon; and Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon that this notice has been published.
