SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule is published by the authority of 
the Secretary, granted under 25 U.S.C. 3001 et seq.

Background

    On November 16, 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed the Native 
American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 (the Act) into 
law. The Act addresses the rights of lineal descendants, Indian tribes, 
and Native Hawaiian organizations to Native American human remains, 
funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony 
with which they are affiliated. The Act assigns implementation 
responsibilities to the Secretary of the Interior.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final rule mistakenly cited the affected subpart 
as Subpart D of Part 10. The correct reference should have been Subpart 
B and C of Part 10.

List of Subjects in 43 CFR Part 10
