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 correction of an inventory of human remains and 
associated funerary objects under the control of the U.S. Department of 
the Interior, National Park Service, Tuzigoot National Monument, 
Clarkdale, AZ. The human remains and associated funerary objects were 
removed from multiple locations in Coconino and Yavapai Counties, AZ.
    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 
Superintendent, Tuzigoot 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 (79 FR 43774, July 28, 2014). The 
human remains and associated funerary objects were inadvertently 
omitted from the published notice. Transfer of control of the 
additional items in this correction notice has not occurred.

Correction

    In the Federal Register (79 FR 43775, July 28, 2014), column 2, 
paragraph 3, sentence 1, under the heading ``History and Description of 
the Remains,'' is corrected by substituting the following sentence:

    At unknown dates, human remains representing, at minimum, 20 
individuals were removed from unknown locations in Yavapai County, 
AZ.

    In the Federal Register (79 FR 43775, July 28, 2014), column 2, 
paragraph 5, under the heading ``History and Description of the 
Remains,'' is corrected by substituting the following paragraph:

    At unknown dates, human remains representing, at minimum, 19 
individuals were removed from unknown locations in Yavapai County, 
AZ. The remains were found in Tuzigoot National Monument collections 
at the National Park Service's Western Archeological and 
Conservation Center and so were likely removed from the area of the 
monument. No known individuals were identified. The one associated 
funerary object is a soil sample.

    In the Federal Register (79 FR 43775, July 28, 2014), column 2, 
under the heading ``History and Description of the Remains,'' is 
corrected by adding the following paragraph after paragraph 7:

    In 1954, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from the Will Steele property in Coconino County, AZ by 
Tapco workmen working on the property. No known individuals were 
identified. The one associated funerary object is a bead.

paragraphs:
