ADDRESSES: Dr. Lisbeth Louderback, Utah Museum of Natural History, 301 
Wakara Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84108, telephone (801) 585-2634, email 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 under 
the control of the Utah Museum of Natural History, Salt Lake City, UT. 
The human remains were removed from Fillmore, Millard County, Utah.
    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.

Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the Utah 
Museum of Natural History professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation, 
Nevada and Utah; Northwestern Band of Shoshoni Nation of Utah 
(Washakie); Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah (Cedar Band of Paiutes, Kanosh 
Band of Paiutes, Koosharem Band of Paiutes, Indian Peaks Band of 
Paiutes, and Shivwits Band of Paiutes); Skull Valley Band of Goshute 
Indians of Utah; and the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray 
Reservation, Utah.

History and Description of the Remains

    Around 1932, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
male between the ages of 35-50 were removed from a privately-owned 
field in Fillmore in Millard County, UT. The individual (UMNH148) was 
recovered during ploughing and shortly thereafter were transferred to 
the University of Utah. The Utah Museum of Natural History received 
control of the human remains in 1973. No known individuals were 
identified. No associated funerary objects were found.
    An osteological analysis indicates that the individual is Native 
American. Based on the geographical location of the burial, the 
individual is most closely affiliated with the Kanosh Band of the 
Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, who inhabited this area during the 
protohistoric and contact periods.

Determinations Made by the Utah Museum of Natural History

    Officials of the Utah Museum of Natural History have determined 
that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of one individual of 
Native American ancestry.
     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 Kanosh Band of the Paiute Indian Tribe 
of Utah.

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 should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to Dr. 
Lisbeth Louderback, Utah Museum of Natural History, 301 Wakara Way, 
Salt Lake City, UT 84108, telephone (801) 585-2634, email 
[email protected], by May 25, 2016. After that date, if no 
additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the 
human remains to the Kanosh Band of the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah may 
proceed.
    The Utah Museum of Natural History is responsible for notifying the 
Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation, Nevada and Utah; 
Northwestern Band of Shoshoni Nation of Utah (Washakie); Paiute Indian 
Tribe of Utah (Cedar Band of Paiutes, Kanosh Band of Paiutes, Koosharem 
Band of Paiutes, Indian Peaks Band of Paiutes, and Shivwits Band of 
Paiutes); Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians of Utah; and the Ute 
Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray Reservation, Utah that this notice 
has been published.
