[[Page 33513]] 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 (66 FR 32845-32846, June 18, 2001). A re-evaluation of the inventory resulted in an increase in the minimum number of individuals removed from the Footprint site. The total number of associated funerary objects has been found to be incorrectly calculated, though all funerary objects are accounted for. Transfer of control of the items in this correction notice has not occurred. Correction In the Federal Register (66 FR 32845, June 18, 2001), column 2, paragraph 2, sentence 1 is corrected by substituting the following sentence: In 1964, human remains representing a minimum of 43 individuals were recovered during legally-authorized excavation by F.E. Green of Texas Tech University at the Footprint site, then under the management of the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. In the Federal Register (66 FR 32845, June 18, 2001), column 3, paragraph 2, sentences 1 and 2 are corrected by substituting the following sentences: Based on the above-mentioned information, the superintendent of Lake Meredith National Recreation Area has determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the human remains listed above represent the physical remains of 49 individuals of Native American ancestry. The superintendent of Lake Meredith National Recreation Area also has determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(2), the 347 objects listed above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as a part of a 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 Robert Maguire, Superintendent, Lake Meredith National Recreation Area, P.O. Box 1460, Fritch, TX 79036, telephone (806) 857-3151, email [email protected], by August 21, 2017. After that date, if no additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the human remains and associated funerary objects to the Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma, and the Wichita & Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie), Oklahoma, may proceed. Lake Meredith National Recreation Area is responsible for notifying the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma; Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma (previously listed as the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma); Comanche Nation, Oklahoma; Kiowa Indian Tribe of Oklahoma; Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma; Wichita and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco & Tawakonie), Oklahoma; and the Cohuiltecan Nation, an Indian group that is not federally recognized, that this notice has been published.
