BILLING CODE 4165-16-M DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health Proposed Collection; Comment Request; NCCAM Office of Communications and Public Liaison Communications Program Planning and Evaluation Research *Summary:* In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)for review and approval. Proposed Collection *Title:* NCCAM Office of Communications and Public Liaison Communications Program Planning and Evaluation Research. *Type of Information Collection Request:* Continuation. *Need and Use of Information Collection:* To carry out NCCAM's legislative mandate to educate and disseminate information about complementary and alternative medicine
(CAM)to a wide variety of audiences and organizations, the NCCAM Office of Communications and Public Liaison
(OCPL)requests clearance to carry out
(1)formative and
(2)evaluative research of a variety of print and online materials, outreach activities, and messages to maximize their impact and usefulness. OCPL wishes to continue to carry out formative research to further understand the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of its core constituent groups: Members of the general public, researchers, and providers of both conventional and CAM health care. In addition, it seeks to test newly formulated messages and identify barriers and impediments to the effective communication of those messages. With this audience research, OCPL will carry out pretesting of audience responses to NCCAM's fact sheets, Web content, and other materials and messages. Clearance is also requested to continue to carry out evaluative research on existing materials and messages, as part of OCPL's ongoing effort to develop a comprehensive program of testing and evaluation of all of its communications strategies. This evaluative research will include pilot testing of recently developed messages and information products such as consumer fact sheets and brochures. It will also address the need to evaluate the processes by which new materials and messages were developed, the effectiveness of an outreach activity or the extent to which behaviors were changed by the message, and the impact of a message on health knowledge and behaviors. The tools to collect this information have been selected to minimize burden on NCCAM's audiences, produce or refine messages that have the greatest potential to influence target audience attitudes and behavior in a positive manner, and to use Government resources efficiently. They may include individual in-depth interviews, focus group interviews, intercept interviews, self-administered questionnaires, gatekeeper reviews, and omnibus surveys. The data will enhance OCPL's understanding of the unique information needs and distinct health-information-seeking behaviors of its core constituencies, and the segments within these constituencies with special information needs (for example, among the general public these segments include cancer patients, the chronically ill, minority and ethnic populations, the elderly, users of dietary supplements, and patients integrating complementary therapies with conventional medical treatments). *Frequency of Response:* On occasion. *Affected Public:* Individuals and households; nonprofit institutions; Federal Government; State, Local, or Tribal Government. *Type of Respondents:* Adult patients; members of the public; health care professionals; organizational representatives. The annual reporting burden is as follows. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 2,440; *Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent:* 1; *Average Burden Hours per Response:* 0.29; and *Estimated Total Burden Hours Requested:* 2,124 for the 3-year clearance period (approximately 708 hours annually). The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at $19,624. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, or Maintenance Costs to report. *Request for Comments:* Written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected agencies are invited on the following points:
(1)Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2)The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumption used;
(3)Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4)Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. *For Further Information Contact:* To request more information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and instruments, contact Christy Thomsen, Director, Office of Communications and Public Liaison, NCCAM, 31 Center Drive, Room 2B11, Bethesda, MD 20892, or fax your request to 301-402-4741, or e-mail *thomsenc@mail.nih.gov.* Ms. Thomsen can be contacted by telephone at 301-451-8876. *Comments Due Date:* Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30 days of the date of this publication. Dated: June 13, 2007. Christy Thomsen, Director, Office of Communications and Public Liaison, National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, National Institutes of Health. [FR Doc. E7-11971 Filed 6-20-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4140-01-P DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [CIS No. 2413-07; DHS Docket No. USCIS-2007-0031] RIN 1615-ZA52 Making Participation in the DORA Pilot Program Optional for Form I-485 Applicants AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, DHS. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This Notice modifies U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' District Office Rapid Adjudication
(DORA)pilot program so that participation is optional rather than mandatory. The pilot program is open to certain aliens residing in the jurisdiction of the Dallas, El Paso, or Oklahoma City offices seeking to file Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. DATES: This Notice is effective June 21, 2007 and will terminate on September 21, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kristie Krebs, Adjudications Officer, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Department of Homeland Security, 20 Massachusetts Avenue, NW., Suite 1000, Washington, DC 20526, Telephone
(202)272-1001. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In September 2006, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced the participation requirements for the District Office Rapid Adjudication
(DORA)pilot program. *See* 71 FR 55206 (Sept. 21, 2006). This program pilots an alternate procedure for the filing and processing of Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. The purpose of the pilot program is to test whether alternate filing procedures will result in reduced Form I-485 processing times. The DORA pilot program applies to certain Form I-485 applicants residing within the jurisdiction of the Dallas District Office, El Paso District Office, or Oklahoma City Sub-Office. *See* 71 FR at 55206-55207 for eligibility and residence requirements. These applicants only may file Form I-485 by appearing in person at the appropriate USCIS local office after self-scheduling an appointment using Internet-based InfoPass. If the application package is complete at the time of filing, a USCIS officer will conduct any required interview on the same day and will schedule the applicant for biometrics capture. By contrast, normal Form I-485 filing procedures require applicants to mail-in their Form I-485 application package to the Chicago Lockbox Facility and await receipt of an appointment notice from USCIS for both biometrics capture and an interview. *See* Direct Mail Instructions for filing Form I-485. II. Change to Pilot Program Under this Notice, eligible applicants are no longer required to participate in the DORA pilot program. Instead, such applicants may choose either to file the Form I-485 package under the DORA pilot program or mail the package pursuant to the Direct Mail Instructions for Form I-485. USCIS is making participation in the DORA pilot program optional for these Form I-485 applicants because of the recent increase in demand for available Infopass appointments. As a result of this increase, Infopass users are waiting an average of three weeks before getting an appointment to appear at a USCIS office. USCIS believes that this increase is a result of a rulemaking in which USCIS proposed to increase the fees on applications and petitions. See 72 FR 4888 (Feb. 1, 2007). Optional filing will accommodate eligible applicants who wish to file their Form I-485 application package immediately by mail under the current fee schedule, rather than wait for an Infopass appointment to file in person under the DORA pilot program and potentially be subject to higher application fees. USCIS will post the optional filing procedures under the DORA pilot program on the Web pages for the Dallas, El Paso, and Oklahoma City offices, accessible from *http://www.uscis.gov.* III. Paperwork Reduction Act Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13, 109 Stat. 163 (1995), all Departments are required to submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), for review and approval, any reporting or recordkeeping requirements. This Notice will not increase the burden for those applicants in the Dallas, El Paso, and Oklahoma City offices, as filing under the pilot program is optional. Dated: June 5, 2007. Emilio T. Gonzalez, Director, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. [FR Doc.

E7-12042 Filed 6-20-07; BILLING CODE 4310-55-S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service Receipt of an Application for an Incidental Take Permit for Construction of the Fire Station/Emergency Medical Services
(EMS)11 Facility in Charlotte County, FL AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the availability of an incidental take permit
(ITP)and Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). Charlotte County Facilities Construction and Maintenance (applicant) requests an ITP pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The applicant anticipates taking about 4.56 acres (1.85 hectares (ha)) of Florida scrub-jay ( *Aphelocoma coerulescens* ) (scrub-jay) foraging and sheltering habitat incidental to lot preparation for the construction of the Fire Station/EMS 11 facility and supporting infrastructure in Charlotte County, Florida (project). The applicant's HCP describes the mitigation and minimization measures proposed to address the effects of the project on the Florida scrub-jay. DATES: We must receive your written comments on the ITP application and HCP on or before July 23, 2007. ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below for information on how to submit your comments on the ITP application and HCP. You may obtain a copy of the ITP application and HCP by writing to the South Florida Ecological Services Office, Attn: Permit numberTE108859-0, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1339 20th Street, Vero Beach, FL 32960-3559. In addition, we will make the ITP application and HCP available for public inspection by appointment during normal business hours at the above address. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Trish Adams, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, South Florida Ecological Services Office (see ADDRESSES ); telephone:
(772)562-3909, ext. 232. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If you wish to comment on the ITP application and HCP, you may submit comments by any one of the following methods. Please reference permit number TE108859-0 in such comments. 1. Mail or hand-deliver comments to our South Florida Ecological Services Office address (see ADDRESSES ). 2. E-mail comments to *trish_adams@fws.gov* . If you do not receive a confirmation that we have received your e-mail message, contact us directly at the telephone number listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comments, 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. Construction for the Fire Station/EMS 11 HCP will take place within Section 16, Township 40 South, Range 23 East, Punta Gorda, Charlotte County, Florida, at 2403 Highlands Road, in the Harbor Heights Subdivision. This lot is within scrub-jay occupied habitat. The lot encompasses about 4.56 acres (1.85 ha), and the footprint of the project facility, infrastructure, and landscaping precludes retention of scrub-jay habitat on this lot. In order to minimize take on site, the applicant proposes to mitigate for the loss of 4.56 acres (1.85 ha) of scrub-jay habitat by restoring and managing 9.02 acres (3.65 ha) of a conservation easement that they have acquired for scrub-jays. We have determined that the applicant's proposal, including the proposed mitigation and minimization measures, will have a minor or negligible effect on the species covered in the HCP. Therefore, the ITP is a “low-effect” project and qualifies as a categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as provided by the Department of the Interior Manual (516 DM 2 Appendix 1 and 516 DM 6 Appendix 1). Low-effect HCPs are those involving
(1)minor or negligible effects on federally listed or candidate species and their habitats and
(2)minor or negligible effects on other environmental values or resources. Based on our review of public comments that we receive in response to this notice, we may revise this preliminary determination. We will evaluate the HCP and comments submitted thereon to determine whether the application meets the requirements of section 10(a) of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ). If we determine that the application meets the requirements, we will issue the ITP for incidental take of the Florida scrub-jay. We will also evaluate whether issuance of the section 10(a)(1)(B) ITP complies with section 7 of the Act by conducting an intra-Service section 7 consultation. We will use the results of this consultation, in combination with the above findings, in the final analysis to determine whether or not to issue the ITP. Authority: We provide this notice pursuant to Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ) and NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). Dated: June 8, 2007.

Bonita Ave., Suite 141, Tucson, Arizona 85745, at 520-670-6150 x 242. For further information on the HCP, contact Ms. Jennifer Christelman, Town of Marana, 11555 W. Civic Center Dr., Marana, Arizona 85653 or Ms. Lori Woods, RECON, 525 West Wetmore Road, Suite 111, Tucson, Arizona 85705. Information regarding the HCP can also be obtained on the Internet at *http://www.marana.com/hcp.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice advises the public that the Service intends to gather information necessary to determine the impacts and formulate alternatives for the EIS related to the issuance of a proposed ITP to the Town of Marana and the development and implementation of the HCP, which will provide measures to minimize and mitigate the effects of incidental take of federally listed species. Section 9 of the Act and its implementing regulations prohibit the “taking” of threatened and endangered species. However, the Service, under limited circumstances, may issue permits to take listed wildlife species incidental to, and not the purpose of, otherwise lawful activities. We provide this notice under section 10(c) of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ) and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 17.22), and the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4371 *et seq.* )
(NEPA)and its implementing regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). *Background:* The Town of Marana in southern Arizona, including its recent annexation of 21,500 acres of State Trust lands along the Tortolita Fan, contains unique natural resource values within much of its undeveloped lands, including ironwood-dominated Arizona Upland and xeroriparian plant communities along the bajadas
(fans)and slopes of the Tortolita Mountains and along portions of the Santa Cruz River Corridor. The Town of Marana is also one of the fastest growing communities in Arizona and recognizes the need to provide a solid economic base and desirable quality of life for its citizens. Given the Town of Marana's rapid growth rate and desire to develop its economic interests, the Town leaders have acknowledged the need to balance economic, environmental, and human interests by implementing a community-wide conservation planning effort. The overall goals of this conservation planning effort are to: identify federal, State Trust, county, and private lands that merit inclusion within a scientifically-based conservation reserve designed to provide long-term protection for multiple species of concern and key natural communities; identify appropriate mechanisms to best conserve these lands over the long-term; provide for regional economic objectives including the orderly and efficient development of certain private and State Trust lands and associated public and private infrastructure; contribute to regional conservation planning efforts in eastern Pima County; and facilitate compliance with the Act's Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit requirements. Purpose and Need for Action The purpose for which this EIS is being prepared is to respond to the Town of Marana's application for an ITP for the proposed covered species related to activities that have the potential to result in take of species listed pursuant to the Act. The Town of Marana's proposed HCP will mitigate to the maximum extent practicable the anticipated effects of the covered activities, while striving to balance the protection and conservation of Marana's unique natural resources with on-going economic development and urbanization. The Town of Marana recognizes that the quality of life of its citizens is dependent upon an integrated environment which balances the needs of listed species and their habitats with human needs. The HCP will protect and conserve the covered species and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the people of the United States and provide a means and take steps to conserve the ecosystems depended on by the covered species. The HCP will ensure the long-term survival of the covered species through protection and management of the species and their habitats and ensure compliance with the Act, NEPA, and other applicable laws and regulations. The need for this action is based on the potential that activities proposed by the Town of Marana on lands under their jurisdiction could result in take of covered species, thus requiring an ITP. The proposed permit would allow approved incidental take that is consistent with the conservation guidelines in the Town of Marana's HCP. Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act contains provisions for issuing ITPs to non-federal entities for take of endangered and threatened species, provided the following criteria are met: The taking will be incidental; the applicant will, to the maximum extent practicable, minimize and mitigate the impact of such taking; the applicant will ensure that adequate funding for the Plan will be provided; the taking will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of the survival and recovery of the species in the wild; and any other measures that the Service may require as being necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the HCP. The development and implementation of the HCP will ensure that the Town of Marana meets the provisions for issuance of the ITP. Proposed Action The proposed action is the issuance of an ITP for listed and sensitive species in Pima County, pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act. The Town of Marana will develop and implement the HCP, as required by section 10(a)(2)(A) of the Act. The HCP will provide measures to minimize and mitigate the effects of the taking on listed and sensitive species and their habitats. The biological goal of the HCP is to provide long-term protection for multiple species of concern and key natural communities through maintaining or improving the habitat conditions and ecosystem functions necessary for their survival and to ensure that any incidental take of listed species will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of the survival and recovery of those species. The purpose of the scoping meetings are to brief the public on the background of the HCP, alternative proposals under consideration for the draft EIS, and the Service's role, as well as the steps that we will take to develop the draft EIS for this conservation planning effort. At the scoping meeting, there will be an opportunity for the public to ask questions and also to provide written comments. Activities proposed for coverage under the proposed ITP include lawful activities that would occur consistent with the Town of Marana's General Plan and include, but are not limited to, maintenance of Town's operations, implementation of capital improvement projects, and issuance of land-use related permits, including those for residential and commercial development. The Town of Marana is expected to apply for an ITP for 13 vulnerable species that would be protected within the proposed permit area. The 13 species include the federally listed lesser long-nosed bat ( *Leptonycteris curasoae yerbabuenae* ) and the federally listed southwestern willow flycatcher ( *Empidonax traillii extimus* ). In addition, the Town of Marana will seek to address and cover the yellow-billed cuckoo ( *Coccyzus americanus* spp. *Occidentalis* ), a candidate for listing. The Town of Marana is also seeking to address and cover additional rare and/or sensitive species that occur within the planning area, including the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl ( *Glaucidium brasilianum cactorum* ), lowland leopard frog ( *Rana yavapaiensis* ), talus snails ( *Sonorella* spp.), Tucson shovel-nosed snake (C *hionactis occipitalis klauberi* ), ground snake ( *Sonora semiannulat* a), Sonoran desert tortoise ( *Gopherus agassizii* ), Merriam's mouse ( *Peromyscus merriami* ), Mexican garter snake ( *Thamnophis eques megalops* ), burrowing owl ( *Athene cuniculari* a), and the pale Townsend's big-eared bat ( *Corynorhinus townsendii* ). Unlisted species included in the list above that are considered as if they were listed, and that the Service finds are adequately conserved by the HCP, will be automatically permitted for incidental take should they be listed as federally threatened or endangered species in the future. Numerous other listed and sensitive species for which the Town of Marana is not seeking permit coverage will also benefit from the conservation measures provided in the HCP through protection of similar or overlapping habitat conditions and ecosystem functions. Alternatives—The proposed action and alternatives that will be developed in the EIS will be assessed against the No Action/No Project alternative, which assumes that some or all of the current and future projects proposed in the Town of Marana would be implemented individually (i.e, one at a time), and be in compliance with the Act. The No Action/No Project alternative implies that the impacts from these potential projects on sensitive species and habitats would be evaluated and mitigated on a project-by-project basis, as is currently the case. For any activities involving take of listed species due to non-Federal projects/actions, individual Section 10(a)(1)(B) permits would be required. A coordinated, comprehensive ecosystem-based conservation approach for the region would not be developed to more efficiently address the conservation of listed species, and unlisted candidate and sensitive species would not receive proactive action intended to preclude the need to list them in the future. A landscape level approach to conservation and mitigation would not occur to help Federal and non-Federal agencies work toward recovery of listed species. Current independent conservation actions would continue, although some of these are not yet funded. Other alternatives that may be considered in the EIS include issuance of an incidental take permit for some subset of proposed covered species and/or covered activities. Voluntary participation in the HCP to obtain ITP coverage for certain private development actions that have no further discretionary action by Marana is being considered. In addition, alternatives may consider varying levels of take anticipated and amount, type, and location of mitigation. *Additional Information:* The Service anticipates that the Town of Marana will request a permit duration of 25 years. Implementation of the HCP will result in the establishment of measures that will provide for the conservation of covered species and their habitats in perpetuity. Monitoring and adaptive management will be used to facilitate the accomplishment of these measures. We will conduct an environmental review that analyzes the proposed action, as well as a range of reasonable alternatives and the associated impacts of each. The EIS will be the basis for the Service's evaluation of impacts to the species and the range of alternatives to be addressed. The EIS is expected to provide biological descriptions of the affected species and habitats and an analysis of the socioeconomic effects of the proposed action. After the environmental review is complete, we will publish a notice of availability and a request for comment on the draft EIS, draft HCP, and the Town of Marana's permit application. The draft EIS is expected to be completed and available to the public by December 2008. C. Todd Jones, Acting Regional Director, Region 2, Albuquerque, New Mexico. [FR Doc. E7-12009 Filed 6-20-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-55-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Final General Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement, Flight 93 National Memorial, PA AGENCY: National Park Service, Department of the Interior. ACTION: Notice of availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the General Management Plan, Flight 93 National Memorial. SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Pub. L. 91-190, as amended), the National Park Service announces the availability of the Final General Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (GMP/EIS) for Flight 93 National Memorial, in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Consistent with Federal laws, regulations, and National Park Service policies, the Final GMP/EIS describes the proposed Federal action to establish a programmatic framework in the form of a General Management Plan to accomplish the objectives set forth in the Flight 93 National Memorial Act (Pub. L. 107-226; 116 Stat. 1345). The Final GMP/EIS evaluates alternatives to guide the development and future management of the national memorial over the next 15 to 20 years. Alternative 1—No Action provides a baseline evaluation of the existing resource conditions, facilities and management at the Flight 93 National Memorial. Alternative 2, the agency's preferred alternative, focuses on the final selected design from the Flight 93 National Memorial International Design Competition. The Final GMP/EIS describes the affected environment and evaluates the potential environmental consequences of developing a new national memorial in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Impact topics evaluated include historic and cultural resources, natural resources, land use, transportation, socioeconomic impacts, visual and aesthetic impacts, energy requirements, and public health and safety. On June 16, 2006, a “Notice of Availability” announcing the public availability of the Flight 93 National Memorial Draft General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement was published in the **Federal Register** (71 FR 34964). This public review period extended for 60 days from June 16 to August 15, 2006. On July 20, 2006, the National Park Service conducted an open house style public meeting at the Shanksville-Stonycreek School in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. DATES: The NPS will prepare a Record of Decision no sooner than 30 days following publication by the Environmental Protection Agency of the Notice of Availability of the Final GMP/EIS in the **Federal Register** . ADDRESSES: The Final GMP/EIS is available online at *http://www.flight93memorialproject.org.* The Final General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement is also available at the National Park Service office at the address below. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Superintendent, Flight 93 National Memorial, 109 W. Main Street, Suite 104, Somerset, PA 15501. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Flight 93 National Memorial Act (Pub. L. 107-226; 116 Stat. 1345), enacted on September 24, 2002, authorized ”a national memorial to commemorate the passengers and crew of Flight 93 who, on September 11, 2001, courageously gave their lives thereby thwarting a planned attack on our Nation's Capital.” This legislation enabled the creation and development of the new Flight 93 National Memorial in Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania and specifically designated the crash site of Flight 93 as the site to honor the passengers and crew of Flight 93. Pub. L. 107-226 authorized the Secretary of the Interior to administer the Flight 93 National Memorial as a unit of the national park system. This Act also created the Flight 93 Advisory Commission and charged it with:
(1)Advising the Secretary on the boundary of the memorial site;
(2)submitting to the Secretary a report containing recommendations for the planning, design, construction, and long-term management of a permanent memorial at the crash site; and
(3)advising the Secretary in the development of a management plan for the site. On January 14, 2005, the Secretary of the Interior approved a boundary recommendation for the memorial presented by the Flight 93 Advisory Commission. The details of the boundary were published in the **Federal Register** (70 FR 13538) on March 21, 2005. The boundary includes 1,355 acres, which comprises the crash site, the debris field and areas where human remains were found, and lands necessary for viewing and accessing the national memorial. Approximately 907 additional acres comprise the perimeter viewshed, which would be protected through conservation or scenic easements acquired by partners, nonprofit organizations or other governmental agencies. On September 11, 2004, the Partners opened a two-stage international design competition to solicit a broad range of concepts for the design of the new memorial. More than 1,000 design professionals and members of the public submitted design concepts. During Stage 1 of the competition, five top designs were selected by a jury of professionals, family members and local leaders after extensive public exhibit of the designs. A Stage 2 design jury selected the final design that best achieved the mission of the new memorial. The selected design was announced to the public on September 7, 2005, and is the basis of the preferred alternative in the Draft GMP/EIS. Subsequent to the announcement of the final design and during the public review period for the Draft GMP/EIS, comments were received criticizing the design's primary circular landscape feature, comparing it to an Islamic crescent symbol. The design was subsequently refined. These refinements will be reflected in the final design. The Environmental Impact Statement assesses the potential effects of implementing the No Action Alternative, which represents existing conditions, and the Preferred Design Concept. During this process, the National Park Service conducted an open and inclusive public scoping process, and an extensive public participation process, involving consultations with local, State, and Federal agencies, as well as nonprofit organizations and the community.

E7-12013 Filed 6-20-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4312-25-P 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 in the possession of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY. The human remains were collected from King 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. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the American Museum of Natural History professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Puyallup Tribe of the Puyallup Reservation, Washington. In 1899, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were collected from the surface of Burton, King County, WA, by Harlan I. Smith. Mr. Smith was a member of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition that was sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The individual has been identified as Native American based on the presence of cranial reshaping. A bioarcheologist who examined the human remains estimated them to be of a recent age. Geographic location is consistent with the traditional and post-contact territory of the S'Homamish people, who were incorporated into the Puyallup Tribe of the Puyallup Reservation, Washington in 1854. 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 one individual of Native American ancestry. 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 Native American human remains and the Puyallup Tribe of the Puyallup Reservation, Washington. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact Nell Murphy, Director of Cultural Resources, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024-5192, telephone
(212)769-5837, before July 23, 2007. Repatriation of the human remains to the Puyallup Tribe of the Puyallup Reservation, Washington may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The American Museum of Natural History is responsible for notifying the Puyallup Tribe of the Puyallup Reservation, Washington that this notice has been published. Dated: May 21, 2007. Sherry Hutt, Manager, National NAGPRA Program. [FR Doc. E7-11986 Filed 6-20-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4312-50-S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Inventory Completion: Anthropological Studies Center, Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, CA 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 Anthropological Studies Center, Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, CA. The human remains and associated funerary objects were recovered from Marin and Sonoma Counties, 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 the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University staff in consultation with representatives of the Dry Creek Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California; Elem Indian Colony of Pomo Indians of the Sulphur Bank Rancheria, California; Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, California; Kashia Band of Pomo Indians of the Stewarts Point Rancheria, California; Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California; and Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians of the Tuolumne Rancheria of California. Prior to the enactment of NAGPRA, a repatriation agreement was negotiated by the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University with three individuals of Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo ancestry who were identified by the State of California Native American Heritage Commission to be Most Likely Descendants under California state law. Further to this agreement, human remains from CA-MRN-27, CA-MRN-254, CA-SON-159, CA-SON-293, CA-SON-455, and CA-SON-456 were repatriated to officials of Ya Ka Ama Indian Education and Development, Inc., a non-federally recognized Indian group from Forestville, CA, who reburied the human remains in 1992. In 1997, during NAGPRA inventory, additional human remains were discovered in the museum collection for sites CA-SON-293, CA-SON-455, CA-SON-456, CA-MRN-254, and CA-SON-159. In 1997 and 2006, human remains for site CA-MRN-27 that were on loan to various museums were returned to the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University. In 1962, human remains representing a minimum of two individuals were removed from site CA-SON-293, Bodega Head, Sonoma County, CA, during excavations conducted by Western Heritage Incorporated and Dr. David A. Fredrickson. The human remains were accessioned into the collections of the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University in 1968 (accession #68-01). At that time, the field notes recorded only one individual, which was reburied in 1992. In 1997, additional human remains not associated with that individual were identified in the collection during a NAGPRA inventory. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Artifacts recovered during the excavation of CA-SON-293 indicate that the site likely dates to Upper Emergent and Historic periods (A.D. 1500-A.D. 1900) and that the human remains are Native American. In 1967, human remains representing a minimum of 164 individuals were removed from the Reedland Woods site (CA-MRN-27), Tiburon, Marin County, CA, during an excavation under the direction of Dr. Fredrickson (accession #67-01). A number of the human remains and associated funerary objects from this site were previously on loan to San Francisco State University and Novato Museum of Prehistory. In 1997, the human remains from Novato Museum of Prehistory were transferred to Tiberon Landmark Society and subsequently returned to the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University. In 2006, human remains and associated funerary objects were returned to the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University by San Francisco State University. No known individuals were identified. The 216 associated funerary objects are 157 olivella beads, 15 Haliotis beads and bead fragments, 6 bone awls, 3 bone pendants, 5 birdbone tubes, 5 pieces of worked bone, 7 pieces of red ochre, 10 obsidian tools and flakes, 6 chert tools and flakes, 2 pieces of pumice, 2 pieces of micaceous schist, and 2 other lithic tools. Three items on the original manifest of artifacts are considered missing. Radiocarbon tests from the Reedland Woods site yielded dates of 370 B.C. 190 and 30 B.C. 95. Analysis of the artifacts found at the Reedland Woods site indicate that the human remains were buried during the Upper Archaic period (1500 B.C.-500 B.C.). In 1968 and 1969, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals were removed from the Gables site (CA-SON-455), Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, CA, during an excavation under the direction of Dr. Fredrickson (accession #68-03). The human remains were subsequently accessioned into the collections of the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University. In 1992, some of the human remains were reburied. In 1997, additional human remains were found. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The human remains date to Phase II of the Emergent Period (A.D. 1500-A.D.1800). Between 1969 and 1972, human remains representing a minimum of 23 individuals were removed from site CA-SON-456 near Sebastopol, Sonoma County, CA, by students at Santa Rosa Junior College. The human remains were housed at Santa Rosa Junior College until 1983 when they were transferred to the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University. In 1992, some of the human remains were reburied. In 1997, additional human remains were found. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Analysis of artifacts found at site CA-SON-456 indicates an occupation from the Middle Archaic period to the Lower Emergent period (3000 B.C.-A.D. 1500). Although the exact age and identity of the individuals is unknown, it is likely that the human remains fall within the periods indicated above and are Native American. In 1971, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals were removed from site CA-MRN-254 in San Rafael, Marin County, CA, during excavations conducted by C. Slaymaker of Dominican College. This collection was donated to the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University by Jodie Sanchez in 1991. In 1992, some of the human remains were reburied. In 1997, additional human remains were located in the collection. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The human remains from site CA-MRN-254 date to an unknown time during prehistory. The site is located within the traditional Coast Miwok territory. In 1972, 1974, 1975, and 1977, human remains representing a minimum of 21 individuals were removed from site CA-SON-159, Cotati, Sonoma County, CA, as part of an ongoing archeological field methods class at Sonoma State University, under the direction of Dr. James A. Bennyhoff. The collection has been housed at the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University since 1977 (accession #72-01, 74-3, 75-28, and 77-11). In 1992, some of the human remains were reburied. In 1997, additional human remains were found. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Analysis of artifacts found at site CA-SON-159 indicate an occupation from the Laguna phase of the Middle Period (1000 B.C.-A.D. 500) to the Rincon and Gables phase of the Late Period (A.D. 500-A.D. 1579). It is believed that prior to 2000 B.C. the occupants of central California were speakers of various Hokan languages. Between 2000 B.C. and 1000 B.C. a new population of Penutian speakers began to arrive from the north and east. Ancestral Miwok and Costonoan peoples were among the first Hokan language speakers to arrive in the San Francisco Bay area. Archeological evidence indicates that Coast Miwok people had settled in Marin County by 1000 B.C., and that southern Sonoma County and the nearby coastal areas probably came under Coast Miwok control by 500 B.C.. Francis Drake documented contact with the Coast Miwok in 1579 near Bodega Bay, CA. By 1850, a few Coast Miwok people were displaced by non-Indians and forced to relocate to areas outside Marin and Sonoma Counties, but many Coast Miwok remained in or returned to their traditional territory. Descendants of the Coast Miwok are members of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, California. In 1998, the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University determined that while there was evidence of a shared group identity (cultural affiliation) between the human remains and a particular Indian group, the human remains were “culturally unidentifiable” since the particular Indian group, the Federated Coast Miwok, was not recognized as an Indian tribe by the United States at that time. The Archeological Collections Facility requested that the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Review Committee recommend disposition of the human remains to the Federated Coast Miwok. On May 21, 1999, the Review Committee's Designated Federal Officer, writing on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior, recommended disposition of the human remains to the Federal Coast Miwok once concurrence with the proposal was obtained from federally recognized Indian tribes that currently resided in the immediate vicinity of where the human remains were recovered. Officials of the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University consulted with five federally recognized Indian tribes: Dry Creek Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California; Elem Indian Colony of Pomo Indians of the Sulphur Bank Rancheria, California; Kashia Band of Pomo Indians of the Stewarts Point Rancheria, California; Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California; and Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians of the Tuolumne Rancheria of California. All five tribes supported the Federated Coast Miwok request for disposition. In 2000, the Federated Coast Miwok became the federally recognized Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, California. Officials of the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of 216 individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 216 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 Archaeological Collections Facility, Sonoma State University have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, California.
