funerary objects under the control of the U.S. Department of the 
Interior, National Park Service, Montezuma Castle National Monument, 
Camp Verde, AZ. The human remains and associated funerary objects were 
removed from Montezuma Castle National Monument, Yavapai County, AZ.

administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The 
determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the 
Superintendent, Montezuma Castle National Monument.
    This notice corrects the minimum number of individuals and number 
of associated funerary objects published in a Notice of Inventory 
Completion in the Federal Register (80 FR 17477, April 1, 2015). The 
human remains and associated funerary object were inadvertently omitted

Correction

    In the Federal Register (80 FR 17477, April 1, 2015), the following 
paragraph is inserted immediately before paragraph 18:

    In 1936, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from the Montezuma Well area in Yavapai County, AZ by 
the William Back family. The human remains and associated funerary 
object were donated to Montezuma Castle National Monument in 2014 by 
a Back family descendant. No known individuals were identified. The 
one associated funerary object is an obsidian projectile point.

    In the Federal Register (80 FR 17477, April 1, 2015), paragraph 
numbers 28 and 29 are corrected by substituting the following 
paragraphs:

     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains 
described in this notice represent the physical remains of 129 
individuals of Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 84 objects 
described in this notice 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.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian tribe or Native 
Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to 
request transfer of control of these human remains and associated 
funerary objects should submit a written request with information in 
support of the request to Dorothy FireCloud, Superintendent, Montezuma 
Castle National Monument, P.O. Box 219, Camp Verde, AZ 86322, telephone 
(928) 567-5276, email [email protected], by January 11, 2016. 
After that date, if no additional requestors have come forward, 
transfer of control of the human remains and associated funerary 
objects to The Consulted and Invited Tribes may proceed.

Consulted and Invited Tribes that this notice has been published.
