Correction

    In the Federal Register (73 FR 499483, August, 21, 2008), column 1, 
paragraph 4 is corrected by substituting the following paragraph:

    In 1988, human remains representing a minimum of 16 individuals 
were recovered from the Priestly site (3PO490) in Poinsett County, 
AR, by the Center for Archaeological Research, Southwest Missouri 
State University, Springfield, MO. The human remains were sent to 
the University of Missouri, Columbia for analysis. The human remains 
were transferred to the Arkansas Highway and Transportation 
Department in 2004 and 2018 and then to the Arkansas Archeological 
Survey for curation in 2008 and 2018. No known individuals were 
identified. The 57 associated funerary objects are two Landers 
points, one Gary point, one point, 42 plain shell-tempered body 
sherds, 10 sherds, and one plain shell-tempered sherd from the rim 
of a bowl.

    In the Federal Register (73 FR 499483, August, 21, 2008), column 2, 
paragraph 7, sentence 1 is corrected by substituting the following 
sentence:

    Officials of the Arkansas Highway and Transportation have 
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 2001 (9-10), the human 
remains described above represent the physical remains of at least 
16 individuals of Native American ancestry.

    In the Federal Register (73 FR 499483, August, 21, 2008), column 2, 
paragraph 7, sentence 2 is corrected by substituting the following 
sentence:

    Officials of the Arkansas Highway and Transportation also have 
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 57 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.

Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to
