BILLING CODE 4150-24-M DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services [Document Identifier: CMS-10241, CMS-382, CMS-10247, and CMS-10246] Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, HHS. In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

(CMS)is publishing the following summary of proposed collections for public comment. Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including any of the following subjects:

(1)The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agency's functions;

(2)the accuracy of the estimated burden;

(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4)the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden. 1. *Type of Information Collection Request:* New Collection. *Title of Information Collection:* Annual State Report and Annual State Performance Rankings. *Use:* The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005

(DRA)requires CMS to contract with a vendor to conduct a monthly national survey of retail prescription drug prices and to report the prices to the States. These national average prices will be used as a benchmark by the States for the management of their prescription drug programs. The law also requires that States report their drug utilization rates for noninnovator multiple source drugs, their payment rates under their State plan, and their dispensing fees. A template will be used to facilitate data collection. The States' rankings are to be presented to the Congress and the States. *Form Number:* CMS-10241 (OMB#: 0938-NEW). *Frequency:* Reporting—Yearly. *Affected Public:* States, Local or Tribal Governments. *Number of Respondents:* 51. *Total Annual Responses:* 51. *Total Annual Hours:* 765. 2. *Type of Information Collection Request:* Extension without change of a currently approved collection. *Title of Information Collection:* ESRD Beneficiary Selection and Supporting Regulations Contained in 42 CFR 414.330. *Use:* Section 2145 amended section 1881 of the Social Security Act and changes the way the Medicare program pays for home dialysis services. Medicare patients who currently receive dialysis in a facility but later become home dialysis patients must complete the CMS-382 form at the time they go to the home setting. Facilities are required to have all Medicare home dialysis patients choose one of two payment methods. Under Method I, the dialysis facility assumes responsibility for patient care and the facility provides all dialysis equipment and supplies needed to dialyze at home. The facility is required to order, store, deliver, and pay the manufacturers and suppliers for these items. Under Method II, the beneficiary makes his/her own arrangement for securing the necessary supplies and dialysis equipment. Then, the supplier bills the Medicare program (Carrier) for payment. *Form Number:* CMS-382 (OMB#: 0938-0372). *Frequency:* Reporting—Yearly. *Affected Public:* Individuals or households. *Number of Respondents:* 7400. *Total Annual Responses:* 7400. *Total Annual Hours:* 617. 3. *Type of Information Collection Request:* New collection. *Title of Information Collection:* Sponsor application for CMS coverage under the Medicare Clinical Trial Research Policy. *Use:* The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

(CMS)has supported the participation of beneficiaries in clinical research through its Clinical Trial Policy implemented through the National coverage determination

(NCD)process since 2000. Support for participation in clinical research studies is provided through the coverage of items and services that are considered usual patient care. Usual patient care encompasses all items and services covered by the program for any beneficiary, i.e., reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of illness or injury to improve the functioning of a malformed body member. In accordance with the Clinical Trial Policy/Clinical Research Policy (CTP/CRP), CMS requires study sponsors/principal investigators to meet a set of standards to

(1)Ensure that all sponsors and investigators conduct clinical research so that Medicare covered items and services are reasonable and necessary to obtain valid research outcomes and for treating research participants, and

(2)maximize the health outcomes (and minimize risk) for Medicare beneficiaries. One of the standards states, “The clinical research study is registered on the ClinicalTrials.gov Web site by the study sponsor/principal investigator prior to the enrollment of the first study subject.” In practice, we anticipate that study sponsors/principal investigators wishing to have their research study listed as certified on our Web site, and in the **Federal Register** will register the study on ClinicalTrials.gov and complete a form to CMS describing the scope and nature of the clinical research, discussing each of the standards in this policy, and certifying that all standards in this policy have been met. CMS will only review this form for completeness. We are seeking OMB approval for the form. *Form Number:* CMS-10247 (OMB#: 0938-New). *Frequency:* Reporting—one-time. *Affected Public:* Private Sector—Business or other for-profits and not-for-profit institutions. *Number of Respondents:* 4,524. *Total Annual Responses:* 4,524. *Total Annual Hours:* 4,524. 4. *Type of Information Collection Request:* New collection. *Title of Information Collection:* Cost and Resource Utilization

(CRU)Data Collection for the Medicare Post Acute Care Payment Reform Demonstration. *Use:* The CRU data collection is part of the Post-Acute Care Payment Reform Demonstration mandated by Section 5008 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. This demonstration is intended to address problems with the current Medicare payment systems for post-acute care services, including those for Long Term Care Hospitals, Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities, Skilled Nursing Facilities, and Home Health Agencies. Each of these four types of providers currently has a separate prospective payment system

(PPS)with its own case-mix groups, payment units, and rates. Each case-mix grouper uses a unique set of items to measure patients, making it difficult to compare severity, costs, and outcomes across settings. These four provider types form a continuum of care where patients may overlap in terms of the conditions being treated, but they primarily differ in terms of the severity of the patients' medical or functional impairments. The current payment methods are designed as silos that do not recognize the potential overlap in case mix or the complimentary nature of the services across an episode, nor does it allow for standardized measures of costs across settings since each PPS was developed independently using different measurement systems and underlying assumptions. The Post-Acute Care Payment Reform Demonstration will examine the relative costliness and outcomes of post acute cases admitted to different settings for similar conditions. The work will differ from past attempts in this area because it will use a standardized case mix tool for measuring patient severity and a standardized resource data collection tool in all four post acute settings. Specifically, the legislation requires that CMS provide information on both the fixed and variables costs for each individual treated in post acute care settings. The CRU data collection instruments are designed to collect a provider's routine costs to specific patients because in general, nurses' and many other direct care providers' time spent on behalf of specific patients and on activities not patient-specific, is not reported. In addition, charges for therapist services reported on claims may not sufficiently measure true relative differences in therapy resource costs among patients. The data will be used, along with Medicare claims and cost report data, to examine substitution issues: How do costs and outcomes differ for post acute care patients with similar case mix acuity when treated in one of the various settings. The results will be used to provide CMS and Congress information on setting-neutral payment models, revisions to single setting payment systems, current discharge placement patterns, and patient outcomes across settings. *Form Number:* CMS-10246 (OMB#: 0938-New). *Frequency:* Reporting and Recordkeeping. *Affected Public:* Private Sector—Business or other for-profits and not-for-profit institutions. *Number of Respondents:* 138. *Total Annual Responses:* 61,589. *Total Annual Hours:* 28,783.

(1)The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the Agency's function;

(2)the accuracy of the estimated burden;

(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4)the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden. 1. *Type of Information Collection Request:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Title of Information Collection:* Issuance of Advisory Opinions Concerning Physicians' Referrals. *Use:* Section 1877(g)(6) of the Social Security Act (the Act), requires that the Department of Health and Human Services issue advisory opinions concerning whether the referral of a Medicare patient by a physician for certain designated health services (other than clinical laboratory services) is prohibited under the physician referral provisions of the Social Security Act. Section 1877(g)(6) of the Act requires that the Department of Health and Human Services accept requests for advisory opinions made after November 3, 1997 and before August 21, 2000. Section 543 of the Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2001, Public Law 106-554, extended indefinitely the period during which the Department of Health and Human Services accepts requests for these advisory opinions. The collection of information contained in 42 CFR 411.372 and 411.373 is necessary to comply with this statutory mandate, and allow CMS to consider requests for advisory opinions and provide accurate and useful opinions. *Form Number:* CMS-R-216 (OMB#: 0938-0714). *Frequency:* Once. *Affected Public:* Business or other for-profit and Not-for-profit institutions. *Number of Respondents:* 50. *Total Annual Responses:* 50. *Total Annual Hours:* 1,000. 2. *Type of Information Collection Request:* Revision of a currently approved collection. *Title of Information Collection:* Plan Benefit Package

In order to be valid, an authorization must include specified core elements and statements. Medicare will make available to Medicare beneficiaries a standard, valid authorization to enable beneficiaries to request the disclosure of their protected health information. This standard authorization will simplify the process of requesting information disclosure for beneficiaries and minimize the response time for Medicare. The completed authorization will allow Medicare to disclose an individual's personal health information to a third party at the individual's request. *Frequency:* Reporting—On occasion. *Affected Public:* Individuals or households. *Number of Respondents:* 1,000,000. *Total Annual Responses:* 1,000,000. *Total Annual Hours:* 250,000. 4. *Type of Information Collection Request:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Title of Information Collection:* Individuals Authorized Access to the CMS Computer Services (IACS). *Form Number:* CMS-10173 (OMB#: 0938-0989). *Use:* The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

(CMS)is requesting the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)approval of the Individuals Authorized to Customer Service Application for Access to CMS Computer Systems. The IACS system provides a centralized user provisioning and administration service that supports the creation, deletion, and lifecycle management of enterprise identities. This service creates accounts, supports Role Based Access Control (RBAC), the form flow approval process and enterprise identity audit and recertification, and provides business application integration points.

Background The Secretary is required by section 1833(t)(9)(A) of the Social Security Act (the Act), [as amended by section 201(h) of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999

(BBRA)(Pub. L. 106-113), and re-designated by section 202(a)(2) of the BBRA] to establish and consult with an expert outside advisory panel regarding the clinical integrity of the APC groups and weights that are components of the hospital OPPS. The APC Panel meets up to three times annually. The Charter requires that the Panel must be fairly balanced in its membership in terms of the points of view represented and the functions to be performed. The Panel consists of up to 15 members, who are representatives of providers, and a Chair. Each Panel member must be employed full-time by a hospital, hospital system, or other Medicare provider subject to payment under the OPPS. The Secretary or Administrator selects the Panel membership based upon either self-nominations or nominations submitted by Medicare providers and other interested organizations. All members must have technical expertise to enable them to participate fully in the work of the Panel. This expertise encompasses hospital payment systems; hospital medical-care delivery systems; provider billing systems; APC groups, Current Procedural Terminology codes, and alpha-numeric Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System codes; and the use and payment of drugs and medical devices in the outpatient setting, as well as other forms of relevant expertise. The Charter requires that all members have a minimum of 5 years experience in their area(s) of expertise, but it is not necessary that any member be an expert in all of the areas listed above. For purposes of this Panel, consultants or independent contractors are not considered to be full-time employees of hospitals, hospital systems, or other Medicare providers that are subject to the OPPS. Panel members serve up to 4-year terms. A member may serve after the expiration of his or her term until a successor has been sworn in. All terms are contingent upon the renewal of the Panel's Charter by appropriate action before its termination. The Secretary re-chartered the APC Panel effective November 21, 2006. II. Announcement of New Members The Panel may consist of a Chair and up to 15 Panel members who serve without compensation, according to an advance written agreement. Travel, meals, lodging, and related expenses for the meeting are reimbursed in accordance with standard Government travel regulations. We have a special interest in ensuring that women, minorities, representatives from various geographical locations, and the physically challenged are adequately represented on the Panel. The Secretary, or his designee, appoints new members to the Panel from among those candidates determined to have the required expertise. New appointments are made in a manner that ensures a balanced membership. The Panel presently consists of the following 15 members and a Chair: (The asterisk [*] indicates a Panel member whose term expires on 09/30/2007.) • Edith Hambrick, M.D., J.D., Chair. • Gloryanne Bryant, B.S., R.H.I.A., R.H.I.T., C.C.S. • Hazel Kimmel, R.N., C.C.S., C.P.C. • *Sandra J.

On March 23, 2007, we published the notice titled “Request for Nominations to the Advisory Panel on Ambulatory Payment Classification Groups” (CMS-1305-N2) in the **Federal Register** requesting nominations to the Panel replacing Panel members whose terms would expire by September 30, 2007. As a result of that **Federal Register** notice, we are announcing two new members to the Panel. One new 3-year appointment commences on August 1, 2007, and one new 4-year appointment commences on October 1, 2007, as indicated below: New Panel Members/Terms • Michael D. Mills, Ph.D., M.S.P.H., 08/01/2007-09/30/2010. • Patrick Grusenmeyer, Sc.D., M.P.A., 10/01/2007-09/30/2011. Note: Dr. Mills replaces Dr. Tyler whose term expired 03/31/2007.

ACTION: Single-Source Non-Competitive Supplemental Awards. Funding Amount: $60,000,000. Period of Performance: June 18, 2007—September 30, 2009. CFDA: 93.779. Authority: Section 6201(a)(4) of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA). Purpose The Secretary has authorized an additional $60 million in supplemental DRA grant funds to be made available to the States of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The methodology is based on the relative share of each eligible general acute care hospital's, inpatient psychiatric facility's (IPF), community mental health center's

(CMHC)and skilled nursing facility's

(SNF)total Medicare inpatient payments in the FEMA designated counties in calendar year 2006 (the latest and most complete year of Medicare billing data available to CMS). As a result, this funding is being allocated for each State in the following proportions: 44 percent to Louisiana ($26,223,040), 38 percent to Mississippi ($23,243,995) and 17 percent to Alabama ($10,532,965). This supplemental grant program is to fund State payments to general, acute care hospitals, IPFs, CMHCs, and SNFs in impacted communities that face financial pressures because of changing wage rates that are not yet reflected in Medicare PPS payment methodologies. The grant funds must be used by the States to make payments to all Medicare participating general acute care hospitals, IPFs, CMHCs and SNFs that are currently paid under a Medicare PPS in the impacted communities. States have some flexibility in determining the methodology to determine the timing and amount of provider payments, but the methodology must reflect each provider's relative share of total Medicare payments during a specified period of time. Grant funds may not be distributed to general acute care hospitals, IPFs, CMHCs and SNFs that are not in operation. States' payment methodologies should specify the relevant time periods and any other factors that will be considered in distributing available grant funds according to the principles specified above, and are subject to approval by CMS. Under the authority of section 6201(a)(4) of the DRA of 2005, the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services, has invoked his authority to restore health care in impacted communities affected by Hurricane Katrina by offering this unique funding opportunity which will enable States to make payments to assist general acute care hospitals, IPFs, CMHCs, and SNFs that are paid under a Medicare PPS, with the financial pressures that may result from changing wage rates in those impacted communities. Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama are the only states with knowledge and ability to administer a grant designed to affect impacted communities in their states. For the reasons cited above, the Secretary has directed the CMS to offer supplemental single-source awards to the States of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.

ACTION: Single-Source Non-Competitive Supplemental Award. *Funding Amount:* $35,000,000. *Period of Performance:* June 18, 2007-September 30, 2009. *CFDA:* 93.779. Authority: Section 6201(a)(4) of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA). Purpose These supplemental grant funds will be made available to the State of Louisiana to fund additional State payments for professional healthcare workforce fulfillment in Greater New Orleans, which has continued to face unique health professional shortages as a result of Hurricane Katrina and its subsequent floods. With nearly 4,500 doctors displaced and approximately 50 percent of the physicians who worked in Region 1 before Hurricane Katrina, no longer practicing there, Greater New Orleans is experiencing a shortage of primary care doctors to see Medicaid and uninsured patients. Funding awarded under this grant program must be used by the State to make payments for purposes of recruitment and retention of professional health care staff for the impacted communities. For purposes of this grant, impacted communities are those four parishes located in the State of Louisiana that comprise Region 1, as defined by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, namely, Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, and Plaquemines. The grant funds must be used only for purposes of recruitment or retention of healthcare workforce professionals in Greater New Orleans. The State has been given flexibility in determining the payment methodology, the scope and type of activities, criteria for awarding payment, and the amount of payments to be made to such professionals. Payment recipients are limited to licensed healthcare professionals. Activities include those that were recommended by the Louisiana Health Care Redesign Collaborative (LHCRC) in their concept paper submitted to the Secretary on October 20, 2006. These activities include but are not limited to: income guarantees, annual medical malpractice payment relief, loan repayments, and incentive payments (relocation expenses and sign-on bonuses). Grant funds may not be distributed to staff who are no longer providing professional healthcare services in the Greater New Orleans area at the time of the disbursement of grant funds. All payments must be made under this grant program by September 30, 2009. Payments to physicians, nurses, and other professional healthcare workforce staff under this program are not allowed to be considered payments for Medicare, Medicaid or other specific services, and are not available as the non-Federal share of expenditures or for supplemental disproportionate share hospital payments. Payments cannot be made conditional on the provision of any particular items or services by the professionals. Under the authority of section 6201(a)(4) of the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA), the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services

(DHHS)has invoked his authority to restore health care in impacted communities affected by Hurricane Katrina by offering this unique funding opportunity which will give further incentive to the retention and recruitment of health care workforce professionals in Greater New Orleans. Louisiana is the only State with knowledge and ability to administer a grant designed to affect impacted Louisiana communities. For this reason, the Secretary has directed the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to issue a single-source award to the State of Louisiana to increase access to health care services and to relieve economic pressures suffered by health care providers resulting from both the hurricane and its subsequent flooding. *For Further Information Contact:* Wendy J.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Meeting Topic In May 2007, CMS entered into an interagency agreement with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality

(AHRQ)to work with the Duke Evidence-Based Practice Center to develop a White Paper that will assist CMS in our decisions regarding payment policy, especially the timing of initiating coverage, for new therapeutic agents. The Duke Evidence-Based Practice Center has assembled a panel for this project. The agenda for the town hall meeting is as follows: • Review the planned methodology. • Advise the investigators at the Duke Center for Clinical Health Policy Research regarding key informants. • Provide critical input on content of the conference calls, topics for discussion, and direction for the literature search. Background information about this topic, including instructions for submitting written comments, is available on the Internet at *http://www.cms.hhs.gov/center/coverage/asp.* This meeting will specifically discuss the following issues: • How do payment policies by CMS and other third-party payers affect enrollment into clinical trials? • How do payment policies by CMS and other third-party payers affect randomization and blinding within clinical trials? • What is the summary impact of this effect? • Does the timing of third-party payment in the clinical trial process impact the development of better evidence? • Do differing payment structures within clinical trials affect the resulting evidence? All interested parties are invited to attend or participate via teleconference. The perspectives expressed during this meeting and in writing will assist the Duke Center for Clinical Health Policy Research in drafting the White Paper. II.

Background Sections 1866(a)(1)(I), 1866(a)(1)(N), and 1867 of the Social Security Act (the Act) impose specific obligations on Medicare-participating hospitals that offer emergency services. These obligations concern individuals who come to a hospital emergency department and request or have a request made on their behalf for examination or treatment for a medical condition. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) applies to all these individuals, regardless of whether or not they are beneficiaries of any program under the Act. Section 1867 of the Act sets forth requirements for medical screening examinations for emergency medical conditions, as well as necessary stabilizing treatment or appropriate transfer. Regulations implementing the EMTALA legislation are set forth at 42 CFR 489.20(l), (m),

(q)and

(r)and 489.24. Section 945 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003

(MMA)(Pub. L. 108-173), mandates that the Secretary establish a Technical Advisory Group

(TAG)for advice concerning issues related to EMTALA regulations and implementation. Section 945 of the MMA specifies that the EMTALA TAG— • Shall review the EMTALA regulations; • May provide advice and recommendations to the Secretary concerning these regulations and their application to hospitals and physicians; • Shall solicit comments and recommendations from hospitals, physicians, and the public regarding implementation of such regulations; and • May disseminate information concerning the application of these regulations to hospitals, physicians, and the public. The EMTALA TAG, as chartered under section 945 of the MMA, is also governed by the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act

(FACA)(5 U.S.C. Appendix 2) for the selection of members and the conduct of all meetings. In the May 28, 2004 **Federal Register** (69 FR 30654), we specified the statutory requirements regarding the charter, general responsibilities, and structure of the EMTALA TAG. That notice also solicited nominations for members based on the statutory requirements for the EMTALA TAG. In the August 27, 2004 **Federal Register** (69 FR 52699), we solicited nominations again for members in two categories (patient representatives and a State survey agency representative) for which no nominations were received in response to the May 28, 2004 **Federal Register** notice. Section 945(b) of the MMA specifies the composition of the TAG. (For more information regarding the TAG composition, see the May 28, 2004 **Federal Register** (69 FR 30655). In the March 15, 2005 **Federal Register** (70 FR 12691), we announced the inaugural meeting of the EMTALA TAG and the membership selection. In the May 18, 2005 **Federal Register** (70 FR 28541), the September 23, 2005 **Federal Register** (70 FR 55903), the April 7, 2006 **Federal Register** (71 FR 17888), the September 29, 2006 **Federal Register** (71 FR 57543), and the March 23, 2007 **Federal Register** (72 FR 13803), we announced the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth meetings of the EMTALA TAG, respectively, with a purpose to hear public testimony and consider written responses from medical societies and other organizations on specific issues considered by the EMTALA TAG at its previous meetings. The EMTALA TAG has established the following three subcommittees: • *On-Call Subcommittee* (Chairperson, John Kusske, M.D.) charged with reviewing the testimony and other materials provided to the TAG to identify some specific issues related to on-call requirements. • *Action Subcommittee* (Chairperson, Julie Nelson, J.D.) charged with identifying issues other than on-call issues. • *Framework Subcommittee* (Chairperson, Charlotte Yeh, M.D.) charged with clarifying the historical context and conceptual basis for the TAG's recommendations and developing a document for review and approval by the TAG. II. Meeting Format, Agenda, and Presentation Topics A. Meeting Format The initial portion of the meeting, which will convene at 9 a.m. on September 17, will involve opening remarks and will be followed by a limited period of public testimony on issues related to EMTALA and its implementation. TAG members will have the opportunity to ask questions, prioritize the topics presented, and to conduct other necessary business. At the conclusion of each day's meeting, to the extent that time is available and at the discretion of the Chairperson, the public will be permitted a reasonable time to comment on issues being considered by the TAG. B. Tentative Meeting Agenda The tentative agenda for the EMTALA TAG meetings is as follows: Day 1 Convenes at 9 a.m. • Welcome, Call to Order, and Opening Remarks • Administrative and Housekeeping Issues • Public Testimony on Issues Related to EMTALA and Its Implementation • Subcommitte Reports • Public Comment. Day 2 Convenes at 9 a.m. • Subcommittee Reports (cont.) • Public Comment. C. Public Presentations Only individuals who register and submit written testimony as specified in the SECURITY INFORMATION section of this notice will be considered registered presenters. The time allotted for each presentation will be approximately 5 minutes and will be based on the number of registered presenters. Presenters will speak in their assigned order. If registered presenters are not given an opportunity to speak because of time restrictions, we will accept and present their written testimony to the TAG members. Comments from other participants (individuals who are not registered presenters) may be heard after the scheduled testimonies, if time permits. If there are individuals who cannot attend the meeting but wish to submit comments/statements regarding issues related to the EMTALA TAG, we will accept and present their written comments/statements at the meeting if their comments/statements are received by postal mail or email at the address listed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice by September 3, 2007. III. Registration Instructions The Center for Medicare Management of CMS is coordinating meeting registration. While there is no registration fee, all individuals must register to attend due to limited seating. As specified in the DATES section of this notice, individuals who wish to attend the meeting but do not plan to present testimony must register by September 10, 2007. Individuals who would like both to attend and to present testimony on issues relating to the EMTALA TAG must register by August 27, 2007 and must state specifically in their registration request that they wish to present testimony for EMTALA TAG consideration. A copy of the presenter's written testimony must be received by CMS at the address specified in the ADDRESSES section of this notice by September 3, 2007. You may register by sending an e-mail to Marianne Myers at *Marianne.Myers@cms.hhs.gov,* by fax to the attention of Marianne Myers at

V. Selection of New EMTALA TAG Member In the March 15, 2005 **Federal Register** (70 FR 12691), we announced the EMTALA TAG membership. One of those original members, a hospital representative, is unable to complete his term of service. In selecting a replacement, the TAG must maintain the member composition described in section 945(b) of the MMA. We note that section 945(b)(1) of the MMA specifies that: “4 [members of the TAG] shall be representatives of hospitals.” For this reason and to ensure that the concerns of hospitals are appropriately considered during TAG deliberations, another hospital representative has been selected to serve as a member of the TAG. The new member is Rachel Seifert of Community Health Systems in Franklin, Tennessee. Authority: Section 945 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA).

Meeting Topic On December 14, 1998, we published a notice in the **Federal Register** (63 FR 68780) to describe the Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee (MCAC), which provides advice and recommendations to CMS about clinical issues. The MCAC was subsequently rechartered as the Medicare Evidence Development and Coverage Advisory Committee (MedCAC). This notice announces the October 22, 2007 public meeting of the Committee. This meeting is to assist CMS in developing priorities for evidence development for issues of major importance to the Medicare program and the Medicare population to provide a framework for the scientific community advancement of research projects that concern Medicare beneficiaries. Certain disease processes account for a large percentage of services provided to our beneficiaries and specific treatments and healthcare delivery processes have a great impact on beneficiary outcomes. The end product of the MedCAC is a priority list of research topics with the most potential impact on Medicare and Medicare beneficiaries to contribute to the body of medical evidence specific to the Medicare populations. Background information about this topic, including panel materials, is available at *http://www.cms.gov/coverage.* II. Meeting Procedures This meeting is open to the public.

The services obtained are intended to increase levels of victim identification through the creation of improved direct outreach strategies, enable localized best practice strategies to be shared on a national scale, provide around the clock technical assistance from leading human trafficking experts, and be a resource for strategic planning assistance at the local, State and Federal levels. Services will be provided via a centralized online clearinghouse of training and technical assistance resources, a dedicated technical assistance telephone hotline, on-site training and consulting services, and a peer-to-peer training and strategic planning event. Grant and Cooperative Agreement Program Authority for this activity is contained in section 106(b) and section 107(b)(1)(B) of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), Public Law 106-386, Division A, 114 Stat. 1464

(2000)and in section 412(c)(1)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), (8 U.S.C. 1522(c)(1)(A)). The Recipient will: 1. Develop anti-trafficking materials covering topics not currently in circulation; 2. Create an online clearing house of training and technical assistance resources, including all TTASP training manuals, briefing materials, model strategic plans, sample outreach materials, user-driven worksheets, and summaries of best practices and model programs; 3. Provide targeted training and technical assistance on effective anti-trafficking strategies to anti-trafficking coalitions, task forces, direct outreach organizations, service providers, and others as needed; 4. Provide around the clock technical assistance via telephone on an emergency or on-demand basis for service providers or law enforcement officials that encounter trafficking victims; 5. Create a comprehensive strategic planning document for use by new and existing anti-trafficking coalitions that consolidates national best practices for implementing anti-trafficking activities at the local level; 6. Provide technical review of third-party materials, including, but not limited to client service protocols and forms, outreach protocols and materials, and organizational training documents; and 7. Provide consulting services to ORR in areas of strategic planning, staying abreast of the latest trends in the field, and any other technical assistance requested. After the appropriate reviews, it has been determined that the need to improve the systemic response to protect victims of human trafficking in the United States through the training, technical assistance, and strategic planning is urgent and compelling. The project period is September 30, 2007 to September 29, 2010.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration

(FDA)is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the **Federal Register** concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. This notice solicits comments on requirements governing the registration of producers of drugs and listing of drugs in commercial distribution. DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of information by October 23, 2007. ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information to: *http://www.fda.gov/dockets/ecomments* or *http://www.regulations.gov* . Submit written comments on the collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA 305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Berbakos, Office of the Chief Information Officer (HFA 250), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-1482. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. “Collection of information” is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the **Federal Register** concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics:

(1)Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's functions, including whether the information will have practical utility;

(2)the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4)ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. Registration of Producers of Drugs and Listing of Drugs in Commercial Distribution—21 CFR Part 207 (OMB Control Number 0910-0045—Extension) Under section 510 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act), (21 U.S.C. 360), FDA is authorized to establish a system for registration of producers of drugs and for listing of drugs in commercial distribution. To implement section 510 of the act, FDA issued part 207 (21 CFR part 207). Under current 1 21 CFR 207.20, manufacturers, repackers, and relabelers that engage in the manufacture, preparation, propagation, compounding, or processing of human or veterinary drugs and biological products, including bulk drug substances and bulk drug substances for prescription compounding, and drug premixes as well as finished dosage forms, whether prescription or over-the-counter, are required to register their establishment. In addition, manufacturers, repackers, and relabelers are required to submit a listing of every drug or biological product in commercial distribution. Owners or operators of establishments that distribute, under their own label or trade name, a drug product manufactured by a registered establishment are not required either to register or list. However, distributors may elect to submit drug listing information in lieu of the registered establishment that manufactures the drug product. Foreign drug establishments must also comply with the establishment registration and product listing requirements if they import or offer for import their products into the United States. 1 This notice requests comments on the information collection in current part 207. In the **Federal Register** of Augst 29, 2006 (71 FR 51276), FDA proposed to revise part 207. The proposed revisions would reorganize, consolidate, clarify, and modify current regulations concerning who must register establishments and list, and describes when and how to register and list and what information must be submitted for registration and listing. In addition, the proposal would make certain changes to the National Drug Code

(NDC)system and would require the appropriate NDC number to appear on the labels for drugs subject to the listing requirements. The proposed regulations generally also require the electronic submission of all registration and most listing information. The August 29, 2006, proposed rule requested comments on the information collection for revised part 207. When the proposal is finalized, the information collection for revised part 207 will replace the information collection in this notice. Under current §§ 207.21 and 207.22, establishments, both domestic and foreign, must register with FDA by submitting Form FDA-2656 (Registration of Drug Establishment) within 5 days after beginning the manufacture of drugs or biologicals, or within 5 days after the submission of a drug application or biological license application. In addition, establishments must register annually by returning, within 30 days of receipt from FDA, Form FDA-2656e (Annual Update of Drug Establishment) (Note: This form is no longer mailed to registrants by FDA; updating registration information is estimated in table 1 of this document by the information submitted annually on Form FDA-2656). Changes in individual ownership, corporate or partnership structure, location, or drug-handling activity must be submitted as amendments to registration under current § 207.26 within 5 days of such changes. Distributors that elect to submit drug listing information must submit a Form FDA-2656 to FDA and a copy of the completed form to the registered establishment that manufactured the product to obtain a labeler code. Establishments must, within 5 days of beginning the manufacture of drugs or biologicals, submit to FDA a listing for every drug or biological product in commercial distribution at that time by using Form FDA-2657 (Drug Product Listing). Private label distributors may elect to submit to FDA a listing of every drug product they place in commercial distribution. Registered establishments must submit to FDA drug product listing for those private label distributors who do not elect to submit listing information by using Form FDA-2658 (Registered Establishments' Report of Private Label Distributors). Under current § 207.25, product listing information submitted to FDA by domestic and foreign manufacturers must, depending on the type of product being listed, include any new drug application number or biological establishment license number, copies of current labeling and a sampling of advertisements, a quantitative listing of the active ingredient for each drug or biological product not subject to an approved application or license, the National Drug Code number, and any drug imprinting information. In addition to the product listing information required on Form FDA-2657, FDA may also require, under current § 207.31, a copy of all advertisements and a quantitative listing of all ingredients for each listed drug or biological product not subject to an approved application or license; the basis for a determination, by the establishment, that a listed drug or biological product is not subject to marketing or licensing approval requirements; and a list of certain drugs or biological products containing a particular ingredient. FDA may also request, but not require, the submission of a qualitative listing of the inactive ingredients for all listed drugs or biological products, and a quantitative listing of the active ingredients for all listed drugs or biological products subject to an approved application or license. Under current § 207.30, establishments must update their product listing information by using Form FDA-2657 and/or Form FDA-2658 every June and December or, at the discretion of the establishment, when any change occurs. These updates must include the following information:

(1)A listing of all drug or biological products introduced for commercial distribution that have not been included in any previously submitted list;

(2)all drug or biological products formerly listed for which commercial distribution has been discontinued;

(3)all drug or biological products for which a notice of discontinuance was submitted and for which commercial distribution has been resumed; and

(4)any material change in any information previously submitted. No update is required if no changes have occurred since the previously submitted list. FDA estimates the annual information collection burden for current part 207 as follows: **Table 1.—Estimated Annual Reporting Burden** 1 Form No. of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Hours per response Total hours

Geary, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (HFM-17), Food and Drug Administration, suite 200N, 1401 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852-1448, 301-827-6210. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In the **Federal Register** of January 30, 1998 (63 FR 4571), FDA published a final rule that revised 21 CFR 814.44(d) and 814.45(d) to discontinue individual publication of PMA approvals and denials in the **Federal Register** , providing instead to post this information on the Internet at *http://www.fda.gov* . In addition, the regulations provide that FDA publish a quarterly list of available safety and effectiveness summaries of PMA approvals and denials that were announced during the quarter. FDA believes that this procedure expedites public notification of these actions because announcements can be placed on the Internet more quickly than they can be published in the **Federal Register** , and FDA believes that the Internet is accessible to more people than the **Federal Register** . In accordance with section 515(d)(4) and (e)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360e(d)(4) and (e)(2)), notification of an order approving, denying, or withdrawing approval of a PMA will continue to include a notice of opportunity to request review of the order under section 515(g) of the act. The 30-day period for requesting administrative reconsideration of an FDA action under § 10.33(b) (21 CFR 10.33(b)) for notices announcing approval of a PMA begins on the day the notice is placed on the Internet. Section 10.33(b) provides that FDA may, for good cause, extend this 30-day period. Reconsideration of a denial or withdrawal of approval of a PMA may be sought only by the applicant; in these cases, the 30-day period will begin when the applicant is notified by FDA in writing of its decision. The following is a list of PMAs approved by CBER for which summaries of safety and effectiveness data were placed on the Internet from April 1, 2007, through June 30, 2007. There were no denial actions during this period. The list provides the manufacturer's name, the product's generic name or the trade name, and the approval date. **Table 1.—List of Summaries of Safety and Effectiveness Data for Approved PMAs Made Available April 1, 2007, Through June 30, 2007** PMA No./Docket No. Applicant Trade name Approval date BP060002/0/2007M-0244 Abbott Molecular, Inc.

Background FDA is announcing the availability of a document entitled “Guidance for Industry: ‘Lookback’ for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV): Product Quarantine, Consignee Notification, Further Testing, Product Disposition, and Notification of Transfusion Recipients Based on Donor Test Results Indicating Infection with HCV,” dated August 2007. The guidance document provides recommendations to blood collecting establishments, hospitals, and other consignees for appropriate action when a repeat donor subsequently tests repeatedly reactive for HCV using either a single antigen or multiantigen screening test, or reactive using a direct viral detection test, e.g., HCV ribonucleic acid

(RNA)nucleic acid tests (NAT). This procedure is commonly referred to as HCV “lookback.” The guidance document provides guidance for the following: • Quarantining of prior collections that remain in inventory; • Notifying consignees to quarantine prior collections; • Further testing of the donor; • Destroying or labeling potentially infectious prior collections; and • Notifying transfusion recipients who received blood from a donor who is later determined to be infected with HCV, if appropriate. This guidance document finalizes the guidance entitled, “Draft Guidance for Industry: Current Good Manufacturing Practice for Blood and Blood Components:

(1)Quarantine and Disposition of Prior Collections from Donors with Repeatedly Reactive Screening Tests for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV);

(2)Supplemental Testing, and the Notification of Consignees and Transfusion Recipients of Donor Test Results for Antibody to HCV (Anti-HCV)” dated June 1999. Additionally, this guidance document supersedes the HCV sections of the FDA memorandum entitled, “Recommendations for the Quarantine and Disposition of Units from Prior Collections from Donors with Repeatedly Reactive Screening Tests for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type I (HTLV-I),” dated July 19, 1996; and also supersedes the guidance entitled, “Guidance for Industry: Current Good Manufacturing Practice for Blood and Blood Components:

(2)Supplemental Testing, and the Notification of Consignees and Blood Recipients of Donor Test Results for Anti-HCV” dated September 1998. The guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents FDA's current thinking on this topic. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation is available at *www.reginfo.gov* . Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following information collection, TSA is soliciting comments to—

(1)Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

(2)Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden;

(3)Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4)Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Information Collection Requirement *Title:* Office of Law Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal Service (OLE/FAM) Mental Health Certification. *Type of Request:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *OMB Control Number:* 1652-0043. *Forms(s):* Mental Health Certification. *Affected Public:* Office of Law Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal Service applicants. *Abstract:* Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 44901, 44903, and 44917, TSA has authority to prescribe regulations to protect passengers and property on an aircraft operating in air transportation or intrastate air transportation against an act of criminal violence or aircraft piracy, provide for deployment of Federal Air Marshals on passenger flights, and provide for appropriate training, supervision, and equipment of FAMs. In furtherance of this authority, TSA policy currently requires that applicants for Office of Law Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal positions meet certain medical standards, including Federal Aviation Administration second-class airman standards as outlined in 14 CFR part 67. The TSA modifications to these standards include a psychological evaluation to determine that the individual does not have an established medical history or clinical diagnosis of psychosis, neurosis, or any other personality or mental disorder that clearly demonstrates a potential hazard to the performance of FAM duties or the safety of self or others. As part of the psychological evaluation, applicants are required to complete a mental health certification regarding their mental history and provide an explanation for anything they cannot certify. Applicants are asked if they have ever been removed from work for medical or psychological reasons, and certify other mental health statements. Applicants are instructed to submit this form directly to the FAMS Medical Programs for initial screening via fax, mail, or in person. Any explanations received will generally require further review and follow-up by a contract psychologist or psychiatrist. This certification is carefully geared to capitalize on other elements of the assessment process, such as personal interviews, physical task assessment, background investigation, as well as the other components of the medical examination and assessment. *Number of Respondents:* 10,000. *Estimated Annual Burden Hours:* An estimated 10,000 hours annually.

E7-16769 Filed 8-23-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 9110-05-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management [AK-930-07-1310-DS] Notice of Availability and Announcement of Public Meetings and Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) Subsistence Hearings; Northeast National Petroleum Reserve—Alaska Supplemental Draft Integrated Activity Plan/Environmental Impact Statement AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Interior. ACTION: Notice of Availability and Announcement of Public Meetings and ANILCA Subsistence Hearings. SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Alaska State Office, is issuing the Northeast National Petroleum Reserve—Alaska (NPR-A) Supplemental Draft Integrated Activity Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (IAP/EIS) for public comment and announces pending Draft IAP/EIS public meetings/ANILCA subsistence hearings to receive comments on the IAP/EIS and its findings regarding the ANILCA § 810 analysis of impacts to subsistence use. DATES: Written comments on the Draft IAP/EIS must be received within 60 days following the date the Environmental Protection Agency publishes their Notice of Availability in the **Federal Register** . Draft IAP/EIS public meetings and/or ANILCA subsistence hearings will be held in the following communities in Alaska: Anaktuvuk Pass, Anchorage, Atqasuk, Barrow, Fairbanks, Nuiqsut, and Wainwright. The date, time, and location of the meetings will be announced through public notices, media news releases, and/or other mailings. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to: Northeast NPR-A Supplemental IAP/EIS Comments, ENSR Project Office, 1835 South Bragaw Street, Suite 490, Anchorage, Alaska, 99508; faxed to 888-907-3677; hand delivered to ENSR at the above address, or to the BLM Public Information Center in the Federal Building, 222 West 7th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska, 99513; or forwarded electronically through the project Web site at *http://www.blm.gov/ak/st/en/prog/planning/npra_general/ne_npra/ne_npr-a_supplement.html* . Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. The Draft IAP/EIS can be reviewed at BLM's Alaska Web site at *http://www.blm.gov/ak/st/en/prog/planning/npra_general/ne_npra/ne_npr-a_supplement.html* . CD or paper copies may be requested by calling Jim Ducker, BLM's project lead at 907-271-3130. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Ducker, BLM Alaska State Office, 907-271-3130. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Supplemental IAP/EIS supplements the Northeast NPR-A Amended IAP/EIS, which was completed in January 2005 and was followed with a Record of Decision in January 2006. On September 25, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska found the Amended IAP/EIS analysis failed to fully consider the cumulative effects of oil and gas leasing in the planning area and in the adjacent Northwest NPR—A planning area and vacated the Record of Decision for the Amended IAP/EIS. The supplemental IAP/EIS provides additional analysis necessary to fully address the deficiencies noted by the court and updates relevant sections of the document with information that has become available since the completion of the Amended IAP/EIS. The public is especially encouraged to comment on this additional and updated analysis, and to identify measures that could reduce impacts to resources or uses that could be impacted by oil and gas activities. Like the Amended IAP/EIS, the Supplemental IAP/EIS considers additional oil and gas leasing opportunities in the same approximately 4.6 million acres in the northeast portion of the National Petroleum Reserve—Alaska. The Supplemental IAP/EIS considers the same issues and almost identical alternatives as were addressed in the Amended IAP/EIS. Section 810 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act requires the BLM to evaluate the effects of the alternatives presented in this Draft IAP/EIS on subsistence activities, and to hold public hearings if it finds that any alternative may significantly restrict subsistence activities. The analysis of environmental consequences indicates that the cumulative effects, when taken in conjunction with all action alternatives meets the “may significantly restrict threshold” for each subsistence use, resulting in a positive finding pursuant to ANILCA § 810. Therefore, the BLM will hold public hearings on subsistence in conjunction with the public meetings in the potentially affected communities of Anaktuvuk Pass, Atqasuk, Barrow, Nuiqsut, and Wainwright.

ACTION: Notice of Availability. SUMMARY: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 *et seq.* ) the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Wyoming State Office, has prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement

(FEIS)for the Overland Pass Natural Gas Liquids Pipeline Project. The FEIS analyzes the environmental consequences of a proposed 760-mile long, 14-inch and 16-inch diameter natural gas liquids

(NGL)pipeline on Federal, State, and private land. DATES: The Overland Pass Natural Gas Liquids Pipeline Project FEIS will be available for review and comment for 30 calendar days starting on the date the Environmental Protection Agency

Mr. Hurshman may be reached by telephone at

(970)240-5345. Requests for information may be submitted electronically via e-mail to *overland_pipeline_wy@blm.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed Overland Pass Pipeline would originate in Opal, Wyoming, and terminate at existing NGL processing facilities in Conway, Kansas. The Overland Pass Pipeline route would cross approximately 123 miles of Federal land in Wyoming and Colorado. In Wyoming, approximately 98 miles of the proposed pipeline route would cross public lands administered by three BLM Field Offices: Kemmerer, Rock Springs, and Rawlins. In addition, the Overland Pass Pipeline location would cross two units of the National Forest System administered by the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. The proposed pipeline location includes approximately 2 miles of the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, and approximately 23 miles of the Pawnee National Grassland north of Greeley, Colorado. No Federal land in Kansas would be affected by this proposal. The project would transport up to 150,000 barrels per day of NGL. In the fall of 2005, Williams Field Services, doing business as Overland Pass Pipeline Company LLC (Overland Pass Company), submitted to the BLM an application for a right-of-way

(ROW)grant to construct a NGL pipeline, up to 20 inches in diameter. (NGLs are naturally occurring heavier hydrocarbon liquids that are associated with the production of natural gas such as methane. NGLs include ethane, propane, butanes, and natural gasoline.) On March 24, 2006, the BLM published in the **Federal Register** a Notice of Intent (NOI ) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS)under NEPA and as required by 43 Code of Federal Regulations Part 2880. To allow the public an opportunity to review the proposal and project information, the BLM held four public meetings in April 2006. Potential impacts to specific resources such as water quality and quantity, threatened and endangered and sensitive species, vegetation communities, historic trails, and pipeline route near residential developments were issues identified during scoping and analyzed in a Draft EIS. On March 30, 2007, the BLM published the NOA for the Draft EIS for this project in the **Federal Register** . The 45-day comment period ended on May 14, 2007. Thirteen comment letters were received from individuals, organizations, corporations, and agencies. Specific comment responses are provided in the FEIS, and issues and concerns raised during the review are addressed in the FEIS. Three alternatives are analyzed in the FEIS: No Action Alternative; Proposed Action Alternative, and the Southern Energy Corridor. The No Action alternative means that the project as proposed by Overland Pass Company in its ROW application would be rejected by the BLM. Under the No Action Alternative, the BLM would not issue a ROW grant for the Overland Pass Pipeline. The project, including the pipeline, temporary access roads, and temporary use areas during construction, would not be approved or authorized as described in the ROW application. The BLM and Forest Service preferred alternative is the Proposed Action Alternative. The Proposed Action Alternative analyzed in the FEIS reflects minor revisions to the original route as proposed by Overland Pass Company. The pipeline would be approximately 14 inches in diameter between Opal and Echo Springs, Wyoming, and 16 inches in diameter from Echo Springs, Wyoming, to Conway, Kansas. The Southern Energy Corridor Alternative reflects the Green River Resource Management Plan's preferred locations for future proposed ROWS. Other alternatives, including transportation system alternatives and route variations, were considered, but not studied in detail. As part of the proposed action, the Overland Pass Pipeline would be routed across southern Wyoming from Opal to Echo Springs along various existing utility or pipeline ROWs. From Echo Springs, the pipeline ROW would run in a southeasterly direction, paralleling the existing Southern Star Pipeline, and proceed to the south of Cheyenne, Wyoming, before entering Colorado. A major portion of the proposed route in Wyoming would cross public lands administered by the BLM. From the Colorado border, the pipeline ROW would continue to parallel the Southern Star Pipeline southeasterly crossing the Pawnee National Grassland, which is administered by the USDA Forest Service, and then into Kansas. From the Colorado-Kansas state line, the Overland Pass Pipeline would continue to run parallel to the Southern Star Pipeline to south of WaKeeney, Kansas. It would then follow an existing BP Amoco pipeline to Bushton, Kansas. From this point, the Overland Pass Pipeline would not parallel existing pipelines until reaching Mitchell, Kansas, where it would then follow an existing Williams Pipeline to the termination point at Conway, Kansas. At Bushton and Conway, Kansas, the transported NGL would be processed at existing facilities and distributed through an existing transportation infrastructure to consumer markets in the Midwest and Texas' Gulf of Mexico coast. About 82 percent of the proposed 760-mile pipeline would be co-located within existing pipeline ROW corridors. In addition to the pipeline, three electric pump stations (two immediate and one future construction) would be needed to move the NGL at a maximum pressure of 1,440 pounds per square inch gauge through the pipeline. The pump stations are proposed to be located near Echo Springs and Laramie, Wyoming, and near WaKeeney, Kansas. The pipeline would have manual or self-actuating shut-off valves at regular intervals, as well as cleaning facilities and meter stations. The Overland Pass Pipeline would be constructed and installed within a 75 foot-wide construction area. After construction and reclamation, the permanent ROW would be 50-feet wide, centered on the pipeline. All temporary workspace areas needed for construction activities outside the 50-foot-wide permanent ROW would require Temporary Use Permits. All comment submittals must include the commenter's name and street address. Comments, including the names and street addresses of respondent, will be available for public review at the Rawlins Field Office during its business hours (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), Monday through Friday, except for Federal holidays.

(PDF)go to the project Web site: *http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/prog/planning.1.html.* Copies of the DRMP/DEIS are also available at the BLM Moab Field Office. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DRMP/DEIS addresses public lands and resources managed by the Moab Field Office in Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah. These lands and resources are currently managed under the Grand Resource Area RMP (1985). The planning area includes approximately 1.8 million acres of BLM-administered public lands as well as Federally-owned minerals. The BLM analyzes four proposed alternatives in the DRMP/DEIS: • *Alternative A* (No Action): represents continuation of existing management under the current management goals, objectives, and direction specified in the Grand Resource Area RMP. • *Alternative B:* Emphasizes protection of natural resource values and landscapes. • *Alternative C* (BLM Preferred Alternative): emphasizes a balance of resource protection with commodity production. • *Alternative D:* emphasizes commodity production. Major issues that were identified during public scoping and considered in the DRMP/DEIS include: oil and gas development; recreation and off-highway vehicle management; special designations (ACECs and suitability of rivers for Congressional designation into the national Wild and Scenic Rivers System); land areas with wilderness characteristics; and transportation and access. The DRMP/DEIS considers the designation and protection of ACECs. ACEC values and resource use limitations vary by ACEC and the number of proposed ACECs and acres vary by alternative (refer to the table below). More detailed management prescriptions in these areas are provided in the DRMPR/DEIS.

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 control of the Alaska State Office of History and Archaeology, Anchorage, AK and in the possession of the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository, Kodiak, AK. The human remains were removed from Pasagshak Point site (49-KOD-00213), Kodiak Island, AK. 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 on behalf of the Alaska State Office of History and Archaeology by Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository professional staff in consultation with representatives of Natives of Kodiak, Inc.; Koniag, Inc.; Leisnoi, Inc.; Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island); and Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak (formerly the Shoonaq' Tribe of Kodiak). In September 1992, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from the Pasagshak Point site (49-KOD-00213), Kodiak Island, AK, by Dr. Richard Knecht. Dr. Knecht took the human remains to the Kodiak Area Native Association's Alutiiq Culture Center. In 1995, the human remains were transferred to the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository where they are currently stored (number AM63). No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The Pasagshak Point archeological site is on State of Alaska land. The Pashagshak Point site is a prehistoric settlement at the mouth of Ugak Bay on the southeastern coast of the Kodiak archipelago. The site has deep, well-preserved midden that dates to the Koniag Tradition, the cultural phase that directly preceded European contact. As such, the human remains from the site are presumed to be Native American and most closely related to the contemporary Kodiak Alutiiq people. Specifically, the human remains are from an area of the Kodiak archipelago traditionally used by members of the Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island) and Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak. Officials of the Alaska State Office of History and Archaeology and Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository 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 Alaska State Office of History and Archaeology and the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository 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 Natives of Kodiak, Inc.; Koniag, Inc.; Leisnoi, Inc.; Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island); and Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact Dr. Sven Haakanson, Jr., Executive Director, Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository, 215 Mission Rd., Suite 101, Kodiak, AK 99615, telephone

(907)486-7004, before September 24, 2007. Repatriation of the human remains to the Natives of Kodiak, Inc.; Koniag, Inc.; Leisnoi, Inc.; Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island); and Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository is responsible for notifying Natives of Kodiak, Inc.; Koniag, Inc.; Leisnoi, Inc.; Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island); and Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak that this notice has been published.

In 1990, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an unknown site (probably 49-KOD-00303) near Chiniak, AK, by a collector and turned over to the Alaska State Troopers. The Alaska State Troopers sent the human remains to Anchorage for examination by a professional archeologist at the State Office of History and Archaeology and determined to be prehistoric. The human remains were returned to the Alaska State Troopers, who deposited them in the care of the Kodiak Area Native Association's Alutiiq Culture Center in 1991. In 1995, the human remains were transferred to the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository where they are currently stored (accession number AM92). No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The likely origin of the human remains is 49-KOD-00303, a prehistoric archeological site on the south shore of Chiniak Bay in Alaska's Kodiak archipelago. Site 49-KOD-00303 contains extensive, well-preserved midden deposits, covering more than an acre. Physical anthropological findings and the likely origins of the human remains suggest that they represent a prehistoric Kodiak Alutiiq person. Many Kodiak archeologists believe that the region's cultural sequence represents a 7,500 year period of evolutionary growth with the earliest colonizers evolving into the Alutiiq societies recorded at historic contact. As such, the human remains are reasonably believed to be Native American and most closely affiliated with the contemporary Native residents of the Kodiak archipelago, the Kodiak Alutiiq. Specifically, the human remains were recovered from an area traditionally used by members of the Koniag, Inc.; Leisnoi, Inc.; Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island); Natives of Kodiak, Inc.; and Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak.

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 Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository, Kodiak, AK. The human remains were removed from Uyak Bay, Kodiak Island, AK. 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 Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository professional staff in consultation with representatives of Koniag, Inc. and Native Village of Larsen Bay. In 1987, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from 49-KOD-00343, Uyak Bay in the Kodiak archipelago, AK, during a faunal collection survey conducted by students from Bryn Mawr College under the direction of Dr. Richard Jordan, Bryn Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, PA. The human remains were shipped to the Bryn Mawr College Department of Anthropology for study and storage following the excavation. In 1988, the human remains were shipped to the University of Alaska, Fairbanks Department of Anthropology. Following Dr. Jordan's death in 1991, the human remains were transferred to the Kodiak Area Native Association's Alutiiq Culture Center. In April of 1995, the entire site collection was transferred to the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository (number AM91). The human remains were found during a collections reorganization project in June of 2007. No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Site 49-KOD-00343 is a prehistoric settlement that lies on the shore of a broad cove, on the western shore of inner Ugak Bay, southwest of the Alf islands, on the southwestern coast of Alaska's Kodiak archipelago. The site holds a cluster of multi-roomed house depressions surrounded by 50 - 60 cm of steam bath rubble-filled shell midden deposits, indicative of the late prehistoric Koniag tradition, the cultural era that directly preceded European contact. As such, the human remains are reasonably believed to be Native American and most closely related to the contemporary Kodiak Alutiiq people. Specifically, the human remains are from an area of the Kodiak archipelago traditionally used by members of Koniag, Inc. and Native Village of Larsen Bay.

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 Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository, Kodiak, AK. The human remains were removed from Long Island in the Kodiak Island archipelago, AK. 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 Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Koniag, Inc.; Leisnoi, Inc.; Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island); Natives of Kodiak, Inc.; and Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak (formerly the Shoonaq' Tribe of Kodiak). In May 1991, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from most likely the beach or from the eroding bank of 49-KOD-00023, Vera Bay on Long Island, AK, by Father Peter Kreta, a Russian Orthodox Priest. Father Kreta took the human remains to archeologist Dr. Richard Knecht at the Kodiak Area Native Association's Alutiiq Center where they were stored until 1995. In 1995, the human remains were transferred to the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository where they are currently stored (accession number AM60). No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects were present. Humic staining on the cranium indicates that the human remains were once buried. Long Island lies in Chiniak Bay in the northeastern Kodiak archipelago of Alaska and within the traditional territory of the Kodiak Alutiiq people. The human remains are reasonably believed to be associated with 49-KOD-00023, a known prehistoric site. Artifact finds from the site indicate that it dates to the Late Kachemak phase of the Kachemak tradition, somewhere between 2,700 and 800 years old. Archeological surveys of this site indicate that it contains two areas of midden deposits - one of which rests directly behind the modern beach. This section of the site has been potted heavily and is eroding thereby scattering materials onto the beach. Archeologists believe that the people of the Late Kachemak tradition are ancestors of modern day Alutiiqs. Archeological data collected over the past 20 years indicates that Late Kachemak phase societies evolved into the more complexly organized societies of the Koniag tradition observed at historic contact in the late 18th century. As such, the human remains are reasonably believed to be Native American and most closely affiliated with the contemporary Native residents of the Kodiak archipelago, the Kodiak Alutiiq. Specifically, the human remains are from an area traditionally used by members of Koniag, Inc.; Leisnoi, Inc.; Lesnoi Village; Natives of Kodiak, Inc.; and Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak. In 1993, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from Long Island, AK, by Barb Zickuhr. In February 1995, the human remains were turned over to the Alaska State Troopers. After completion of an investigation, the Alaska State Troopers transferred human remains to Dr. Richard Knecht at the Kodiak Area Native Association's Alutiiq Culture Center. In April of 1995, the human remains were transferred to the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository where they are currently stored (accession number AM58). No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. Long Island lies in Chiniak Bay in the northeastern Kodiak archipelago within the traditional territory of the Kodiak Alutiiq people. The human remains are humic stained with heavily worn teeth and no evidence of modern dentistry, characteristics common to early historic and prehistoric times. Archeological sites on Long Island contain deposits spanning Kodiak's prehistoric and historic eras. Most archeologists believe that the region's cultural sequence represents a period of evolutionary growth with the earliest colonizers evolving into the Alutiiq societies recorded at historic contact over a 7,500 year period. As such, the human remains are reasonably believed to be from a prehistoric Alutiiq person and most closely affiliated with the contemporary Native residents of the Kodiak archipelago, the Kodiak Alutiiq.

Officials of the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of at least two individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository 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 Koniag, Inc.; Leisnoi, Inc.; Lesnoi Village; Natives of Kodiak, Inc.; and Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak.

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 object in the possession of Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository, Kodiak, AK. The human remains and associated funerary object were removed from Sitkalidak Island and near Old Harbor, AK. 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 object. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Koniag, Inc.; Old Harbor Native Corporation; and Village of Old Harbor. In July of 1992, human remains representing a minimum of two individuals were removed from Refuge Rock (49-KOD-00450) off the coast of Sitkalidak Island, AK, by Dr. Richard Knecht during archeological excavation on conveyed Native lands. Permission to excavate and study the human remains was granted by the Old Harbor Native Corporation. The human remains were taken to the Kodiak Area Native Association's Alutiiq Culture Center. In April of 1995, the entire site collection was transferred to the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository where they are currently stored (accession number AM100). No known individuals were identified. The one associated funerary object is an ivory ornament (catalog number AM100:674). The Refuge Rock site, also known in Alutiiq as Awa'uq (to become numb), is a fortified 18th century Alutiiq settlement on an islet adjacent to Sitkalidak Island on the southeastern coast of the Kodiak archipelago. In 1784, Russian fur hunters ambushed the settlement, killing hundreds and initiating the conquest of Kodiak. Both individuals were recovered from a semi-subterranean house believed to have been occupied at the time of the siege. The human remains are reasonably believed to be Native American and most closely affiliated with the contemporary Kodiak Alutiiq people. Specifically, the human remains are from an area traditionally used by members of the Koniag Inc.; Old Harbor Native Corporation; and Village of Old Harbor. In 1960, human remains representing a minimum of one individual were removed from an unknown archeological site near Old Harbor, AK, by physical anthropologists Drs. Laughlin and Jorgensen. When Dr. Laughlin moved to the University of Connecticut at Storrs, the human remains were brought with him. After Dr. Laughlin's death in the late 1990s, his entire collection, including this individual, were transferred to the Museum of the Aleutians in Unalaska, AK, where they were deposited in the care of archeologist Dr. Richard Knecht. In or around 2000, Dr. Knecht sent the human remains to the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository where they are currently stored (cranium OH60B1). No known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. This individual could be from one of a number of archeological sites in the Old Harbor region of the Kodiak archipelago visited by Dr. Laughlin in the summer of 1960. There are no notes accompanying this individual and attempts to locate provenience information have failed. A review of the human remains suggests they are archeological. Humic staining on the bones and worn dentition with no evidence of modern dentistry suggest a prehistoric individual. Archeological data indicate that modern Alutiiqs evolved from archeologically documented societies of the Kodiak region, and can trace their ancestry back over 7,500 years in the region. The human remains are likely Native American and most closely affiliated with the modern Kodiak Alutiiq people. Specifically, the human remains are from an area traditionally used by members of the Koniag Inc.; Old Harbor Native Corporation; and Village of Old Harbor. Officials of the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository 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 three individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the one object described above is 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 Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository 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 object and the Koniag, Inc.; Old Harbor Native Corporation; and Village of Old Harbor. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary object should contact Dr. Sven Haakanson, Jr., Executive Director, Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository, 215 Mission Rd., Suite 101, Kodiak, AK 99615, telephone

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 Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Denver, CO, which meets the definition of “object of cultural patrimony” 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 cultural item is a Killerwhale Flotilla Chilkat Robe, which is also called a blanket, as the two terms are used interchangeably to describe the item (A705.1). The robe is a shoulder blanket style in a two-dimensional flat textile widely rectangular at the top and sides and sloping at the base toward the center, so that it is broadly shield-shaped. The fabric was created by means of twined weaving in handspun mountain goat wool and yellow cedar bark, which is a technique known as Chilkat twining from its specialty production by Chilkat Tlingit women. The robe is draped loosely over the shoulders, falling to mid-legs and tied across the chest with sewn-on ties or held closed with the hands. The white design field of the entire blanket is filled with twelve black bordered rectangular segments, each containing a stylized side-view killerwhale motif featuring a prominent fin on the back. Black form lines enclose and detail the X-ray views of whale ribs and body parts, highlighted with natural dyed yellow and green. The whale heads are toward the blanket center. A wide black border encircles the blanket. Long fringes of alternating white and green twisted wool and cedar bark sections rim the side and basal edges. In approximately 1890, the cultural item was made by a master weaver, a woman named Cacaydayat, during the succession of Gush Tlein as Shakes VI (1878-1916). After the death of Shakes VI in 1916, the robe passed in valid succession to Shakes VII, Charlie Jones or X'adaaneik and Kaax'eishge, though not formally recognized in ceremony until 1940. Sometime before his death in 1944, Shakes VII sold the robe to Mr. Waters, a dentist from Seattle, WA, although museum records state that the robe was sold “around 1945-46.” Mrs. Amy K. Churchill of Wrangell, AK, whose father James Bradley was a claimant to the Shakes VIII title, but neither one a Naanya'aayi Clan member, purchased the robe from Mr. Waters at an unknown date after 1944. Mrs. Emma Frost of Oregon City, OR, inherited the robe from her mother Mrs. Churchill around 1965. In August 1973, Mrs. Frost sold the robe to Michael R. Johnson and Sharon M. Johnson, collectors and art dealers of Bellevue, WA. In October 1973, Mr. and Mrs. Kernon Weckbaugh of Denver, CO, purchased the robe from the Johnsons and donated the robe to the museum. During consultation, representatives of the Central Council of Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes gave evidence of the robe as clan “treasured property” and also recounted its place in clan belief and ceremonial practice. The robe is identified as an item of Chilkat regalia among the most valued of ceremonial clothing used in funerary rites and is high status apparel at traditional ceremonies and potlatches. The robe is required for the ceremonial rites conducted to renew and ensure the spiritual harmony of the Tlingit people. The Clan's right of possession was explained at length through a line of family-member caretakers succeeding Shakes VI, as well as unauthorized holders. Earlier Killerwhale Robes of the Clan, not traced explicitly, would have been associated with the lineage of Shakes chiefs. The robe is not owned by a single individual, instead there are designated caretakers and belongs to the clan as a whole, and therefore it could not have been alienated by a single individual. The clan that takes care of the robe and this particular Killerwhale pattern is the Naanya.aayi Clan, represented in this claim by the Central Council of Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes. Officials of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(D), the one cultural item has ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group or culture itself, rather than property owned by an individual. Officials of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity which can be reasonably traced between the object of cultural patrimony and the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes.

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 Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Denver, CO, which meets the definitions of “sacred object” and “object of cultural patrimony” 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 cultural item is a Beaver Chilkat Shirt, which is also called a tunic, as the terms are used interchangeably to describe the item (AC. 11604). The sleeveless, untailored garment consists of rectangular front and back sections with woven shoulders and a round neck opening, which is joined loosely at the sides below armholes. The fabric was created by means of twined weaving in handspun mountain goat wool and yellow cedar bark, which is a technique known as Chilkat twining from its specialty production by Chilkat Tlingit women. The entire design field of the front is filled with intricate stylized forms that have been interpreted as a beaver in natural wool dyed in colors of black, yellow, and green. The open white ground of the back tunic is centered at the top with a mask form and crossed lower with bands of geometric patterns, including a basal checkerboard. The bottom edges are fringed. In 1974, the cultural item was sold by Marc Jacobs, Sr. to Michael R. Johnson of Seattle, WA, a collector and dealer. In October 1974, the cultural item was purchased by Adelaide de Menil and Dr. Edmund Carpenter. In August 1976, it was transferred to Howard B. Roloff through an exchange requested by Mary W. A. Crane. The museum accessioned the cultural item into the collection later that same year. During consultation, representatives of the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes gave oral history of the tunic as a clan “treasured property,” and its place in clan belief and ceremonial practice. The tunic's history began four generations ago with a daughter of Chief Shakes IV and can be traced to a line of caretakers up to 1974. The tunic is identified as an item of Chilkat regalia among the most valued of ceremonial clothing used in funerary rites and is high status apparel at traditional ceremonies and potlatches. The tunic is required for the ceremonial rites conducted to renew and ensure the spiritual harmony of the Tlingit people. The tunic is not owned by a single individual, instead there are designated caretakers and it belongs to the clan as a whole, and therefore it could not have been alienated by a single individual. According to museum records, the line of caretakers starts in 1890 with a Tlingit family in Angoon, AK, and also corroborates Tlingit accounts of the tunic's sale by Mark Jacobs, Sr. Tlingit of the Deisheetaan Clan of the Needlefish House are from Angoon, AK, and are represented in this claim by the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes. Officials of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), the one cultural item 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 Denver Museum of Nature & Science have also determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(D), the one cultural item has ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group or culture itself, rather than property owned by an individual. Lastly, officials of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity which can be reasonably traced between the sacred object/object of cultural patrimony and the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the sacred object/object of cultural patrimony should contact Dr. Stephen Nash, Chair, Department of Anthropology, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Boulevard, Denver, CO 80205, telephone

(303)370-6056, before September 24, 2007. Repatriation of the cultural item to the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes on behalf of the Deisheetaan Clan of the Needlefish House, Angoon, AK, may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is responsible for notifying the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes that this notice has been published. Dated: August 8, 2007.

Owen during two Field Columbian Museum expeditions to the White Mountain Apache Reservation in 1901 and in 1903. The museum accessioned the items into its collection in the same year they were collected. The cultural affiliation of the cultural items is White Mountain Apache as indicated by museum records and consultation evidence presented by the White Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona. Most of the cultural items are identified as coming from the White Mountain Apache Reservation. In other cases, the cultural items are identified as coming from the White River Agency, the North Fork of the White River, or the East Fork of the White River, which are located on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation White Mountain Apache Trust Lands. Officials of the Field Museum of Natural History have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001, the 56 cultural items meet the definition of cultural items and are subject to repatriation under NAGPRA. 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 cultural items and the White Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona.

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 Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, Fort Worth, TX that meets 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. In the early 1950s, cultural items were excavated from extended burials on private property at site CA-SJO-105 under the control of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA. In 1986, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History obtained funerary objects that were originally removed from this site. The cultural items are recorded as excavated from numbered burials; however, the human remains are not in the possession of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. The 16 unassociated funerary objects are 2 Haliotis shell pendants, 4 obsidian knife or spear points, 1 serrated-edge obsidian point, 2 clam shell pendants or spoons, 1 red/black obsidian scraper, 3 chert scrapers, 2 obsidian arrow points, and 1 string of olivella shell beads. Four obsidian points also were listed on the original inventory, but are missing from collections and have not been included in this count. Site CA-SJO-105 is located between Stockton and Lodi, CA and within the historical territory of the Northern Valley Yokut. Descendants of the Northern and Southern Valley Yokut are members of the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California. The cultural items are consistent with those used by the Northern and Southern Valley Yokut. The Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (Tachi Yokut Tribe) have requested the unassociated funerary objects described above for repatriation. Officials of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the 16 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 Fort Worth Museum of Science and 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 Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the unassociated funerary objects should contact Renee Tucker, Assistant Curator of History, Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, 1501 Montgomery Street, Fort Worth, TX 76107, telephone

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 and control of the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Intermountain Region, Denver, CO. The human remains and associated funerary objects were removed from El Morro National Monument, NM and unknown areas of the Southwestern United States. 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 joint responsibility of the NAGPRA coordinator, Intermountain Region and the superintendent, El Morro National Monument. A detailed assessment of the human remains and associated funerary objects was made by Intermountain Region and El Morro National Monument professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Colorado River Indian Tribes of the Colorado River Indian Reservation, Arizona and California; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico; Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico & Utah; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico; Pueblo of Nambe, New Mexico; Pueblo of Pojoaque, New Mexico; Pueblo of Sandia, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Clara, New Mexico; Pueblo of Tesuque, New Mexico; Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & Utah; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. Prior to 1935, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals were removed from El Morro National Monument in McKinley County, NM. The human remains were donated to Western State College of Colorado, which returned them to the National Park Service in 1994. Osteological analysis in 1994 determined that the human remains are Native American. No other information is known about the human remains. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. In 1985, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals were found in the curation facility at the former Southwest Regional Office in Santa Fe, NM. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. In 1994, the human remains underwent osteological analysis and were found to be Native American. The curation facility houses collections from multiple parks across the Southwestern United States, but due to the lack of contextual information it is impossible to determine from which park they were originally recovered. In 2000, human remains representing a minimum of three individuals were confiscated in Virginia as the result of a NAGPRA trafficking investigation. At the conclusion of the case, the human remains and cultural items were turned over to the National Park Service's Northeast Region, which transferred them to the Intermountain Region in 2006. No known individuals were identified. The 17 associated funerary objects are 1 bag containing leather fragments, 1 bag containing hide fragments, 1 bird bone fragment, and 14 bags containing textile fragments. Osteological examination, radiocarbon dating, and analysis of the associated funerary objects conducted by professionals at the Smithsonian Institution indicate that the human remains and cultural items were likely removed from prehistoric and historic Native American gravesites in the Southwestern United States. However, the available information is insufficient to determine cultural affiliation. Officials of the Intermountain Region and El Morro National Monument have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of nine individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the Intermountain Region and El Morro National Monument also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 17 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 Intermountain Region and El Morro National Monument have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), a relationship of shared group identity cannot reasonably be traced between the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects and any present-day Indian tribe. The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Review Committee (Review Committee) is responsible for recommending specific actions for disposition of culturally unidentifiable human remains. In March 2007, the Intermountain Region requested that the Review Committee recommend repatriation of the nine culturally unidentifiable human remains and 17 associated funerary objects to the Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico as co-claimants. The human remains and cultural items were likely recovered from the geographic proximity of the Indian tribes consulted, all of whom support the co-claim. The Review Committee considered the proposal at its April 19-20, 2007 meeting and recommended disposition of the human remains to the Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico. The National Park Service intends to convey the 17 associated funerary objects to the tribes pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 18f-2. A May 31, 2007 letter from the Designated Federal Official on behalf of the chair of the Review Committee to the NAGPRA coordinator, Intermountain Region transmitted the Review Committee's recommendation that the Intermountain Region effect disposition of the physical remains of nine culturally unidentifiable individuals to the two Indian tribes listed above contingent on the publication of a Notice of Inventory Completion in the **Federal Register** . This notice fulfills that requirement. The letter mistakenly noted that there were ten associated funerary objects rather than the seventeen described above. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary objects should contact Dave Ruppert, NAGPRA coordinator, NPS Intermountain Region, 12795 W. Alameda Parkway, Denver, CO 80228, telephone

(303)969-2879, before September 24, 2007. Disposition of the human remains to the Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. Intermountain Region is responsible for notifying the Colorado River Indian Tribes of the Colorado River Indian Reservation, Arizona and California; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico; Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico & Utah; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; Pueblo of Jemez, New Mexico; Pueblo of Nambe, New Mexico; Pueblo of Pojoaque, New Mexico; Pueblo of Sandia, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico; Pueblo of Santa Clara, New Mexico; Pueblo of Tesuque, New Mexico; Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation, Colorado; Ute Mountain Tribe of the Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado, New Mexico & Utah; and Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico that this notice has been published.

E7-16801 Filed 8-23-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4312-50-S DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items: Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 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 Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA that meets 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 four cultural items are three brass sheet fragments and one vial of shell and glass bead fragments. In 1903, three cultural items were recovered from the Silverheels site in Brant, Erie County, NY, during a Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology expedition led by M.R. Harrington and A.C. Parker. Museum documentation indicates that the cultural items were interred with human remains. The human remains that were originally associated with these items were published in a Notice of Inventory Completion in the **Federal Register** on October 5, 2001 (FR Doc 01-24963; pages 51060-51062), and have since been transferred to the culturally affiliated groups. Therefore, the cultural items are now unassociated funerary objects. The three unassociated funerary objects are brass sheet fragments. This interment most likely dates to the early Contact period (A.D. 1500-1700). Sheet brass was a European import item, and therefore indicates a post-contact date. In the Haudenosaunee region, objects of European brass are usually found on Native sites, which date to the second quarter of the 16th century and later. Other artifacts from this site which support an early Contact date include Levanna and Madison style projectile points; ceramic vessels with globular bodies, constricted zoned-incised necks, and castellated rims; and a variety of terra cotta pipes. Multi-variate attributes and statistical analysis of ceramic artifacts from the Silverheels site indicates the site represents a single occupation during the early 17th century. In 1904, one cultural item was recovered from the Ripley Site in Ripley, Chautauqua County, NY, during a Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology expedition led by M.R. Harrington. Museum documentation indicates that this item was interred with human remains. The human remains that were originally associated with this item were published in a Notice of Inventory Completion in the **Federal Register** on October 5, 2001 (FR Doc 01-24963, pages 51060-51062), and have since been transferred to the culturally affiliated groups. Therefore, this cultural item is now an unassociated funerary object. The one unassociated funerary object is a vial of shell and glass bead fragments. This interment most likely dates to the Late Woodland period (A.D. 1300-1450) or early Contact period (A.D. 1550-1650). Glass beads were introduced by Europeans as trade items in the late 16th/early 17th century. Artifacts from this site which support a Late Woodland period or later date include Levanna and Madison style projectile points; ceramic vessels with globular bodies, constricted zoned-incised necks, and castellated rims; and a variety of terra cotta pipes including trumpet shaped bowls and bowls with representations of human faces and animals. Radiocarbon dating indicates that the site is multi-component with occupations between A.D. 1300-1450 and A.D. 1550-1650. Museum records and consultation evidence indicate that the cultural items were removed from specific burials of Native Americans. Consultation with representatives from the Iroquois suggests that Erie County and Chautauqua County, NY, were within the traditional territory of the Seneca Nation during the periods from which these interments date. Furthermore, due to a shared cultural identity among the member Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, the Nations have requested that cultural affiliation be to all of the present-day Iroquois groups. Descendants of the Iroquois are members of the Cayuga Nation of New York; Oneida Nation of New York; Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin; Onondaga Nation of New York; Seneca Nation of New York; Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma; Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, New York (formerly the St. Regis Band of Mohawk Indians of New York); Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians of New York; and Tuscarora Nation of New York. Officials of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the four 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 Native American individuals. Officials of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology 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 Cayuga Nation of New York; Oneida Nation of New York; Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin; Onondaga Nation of New York; Seneca Nation of New York; Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma; Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, New York (formerly the St. Regis Band of Mohawk Indians of New York); Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians of New York; and Tuscarora Nation of New York.

(617)496-3702, before September 24, 2007. Repatriation of the unassociated funerary objects to the Cayuga Nation of New York; Oneida Nation of New York; Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin; Onondaga Nation of New York; Seneca Nation of New York; Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma; Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, New York (formerly the St. Regis Band of Mohawk Indians of New York); Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians of New York; and Tuscarora Nation of New York may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology is responsible for notifying the Cayuga Nation of New York; Oneida Nation of New York; Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin; Onondaga Nation of New York; Seneca Nation of New York; Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma; Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, New York (formerly the St. Regis Band of Mohawk Indians of New York); Tonawanda Band of Seneca Indians of New York; and Tuscarora Nation of New York 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 cultural items in the possession of the Science Museum of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN that meets the definition of “sacred 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. In July of 1958, Mrs. Sidney A. Peterson purchased a water drum from Mrs. Ray Drift of Nett Lake, MN and a loon-head drumstick from Walter Drift from Nett Lake, MN. In August of 1961, Mrs. Sidney A. Peterson purchased 10 objects relating to the Midewiwin religion, a Mide kit, medicine pouches, medicines, and metal containers holding hides, animal skins, cloth bags and smaller metal tins, metal graters and a rattle from Jack Chicag of Nett Lake, MN. Museum accession, catalogue, collector notes and purchase records, as well as consultation with representatives of the Bois Forte Band (Nett Lake) of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota indicate that the 12 cultural objects are Chippewa and are from the Nett Lake Reservation, MN and are sacred objects. The sacred objects are derived from the Midewiwin Society, also known as the Medicine Lodge Society, and needed by Midewiwin Society members to conduct ceremonies and religious leaders of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota for the practice of traditional Native American religious ceremonies. Officials of the Science Museum of Minnesota have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(C), the 12 cultural items described above are specific ceremonial objects needed by traditional Native American religious leaders for the practice of traditional Native American religions by their present-day adherents. Officials of the Science Museum of Minnesota 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 objects and the Bois Forte Band (Nett Lake) of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the sacred objects should contact Tilly Laskey, Curator of Ethnology, Science Museum of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN 55102, telephone (651)-221-9432 before September 24, 2007. Repatriation of the sacred objects to the Bois Forte Band (Nett Lake) of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward. The Science Museum of Minnesota is responsible for notifying the Bois Forte Band (Nett Lake) of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota that this notice has been published.
