Notice of Inventory Completion for Native American Human Remains 
and Associated Funerary Objects From Arizona in the Possession of San 
Diego State University, San Diego, CA; Correction

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 and associated funerary 
objects in the possession of San Diego State University, San Diego, CA. 
The human remains and cultural items were removed from the vicinity of 
Casa Grande and Gila Butte, AZ, and from the vicinity of Tuscon, 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 
museum, institution or Federal agency that has control of the Native 
American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National 
Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
    This notice corrects the consultation and relationship of the human 
remains identified in a Notice of Inventory Completion previously 
published in the Federal Register (65 FR 79120-79121, December 18, 
2000) to include the Gila River Indian Community of the Gila River 
Indian Reservation, AZ, for the items removed from site SDSU-0370 
(1959-2).
    In the Federal Register (65 FR 79120-79121, December 18, 2000), 
paragraph three is corrected by substituting the following paragraph:
    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by San Diego 
State University professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of the Gila River Indian Community of the Gila River 
Indian Reservation, Arizona, and the Tohono O'odham Nation of Arizona.
    In the Federal Register (65 FR 79120-79121, December 18, 2000), 
paragraph six is corrected by substituting the following paragraph:
    Based on the manner of internment, these individuals have been 
identified as Native American. For the human remains removed from site 
SDSU-0370 (1959-2), geographic affiliation is consistent with the 
historically documented territory of the Gila River Indian Community of 
the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona; for the human remains and 
cultural items removed from site SDSU-0371 (19701-10), geographic 
affiliation is consistent with the historically documented territory of 
the Tohono O'odham Nation of Arizona.
    In the Federal Register (65 FR 79120-79121, December 18, 2000), 
paragraph seven is corrected by substituting the following paragraph:

Determinations Made by the San Diego State University

    Officials of San Diego State University have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains listed 
above represent the physical remains of two individuals of Native 
American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the two objects listed 
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.
     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 associated funerary objects and the Gila 
River Indian Community of the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona, 
and the Tohono O'odham Nation of Arizona.
    Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to 
be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary 
objects should contact Jaime Lennox, San Diego State University, 
Archeology Collections Management Program, 5500 Campanile Dr., San 
Diego, CA 92128-7010, telephone (619) 594-4575 before March 28, 2012. 
Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects 
specified above to the Gila River Indian Community of the Gila River 
Indian Reservation, Arizona, and the Tohono O'odham Nation of Arizona 
may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward.
    San Diego State University is responsible for notifying the Gila 
River Indian Community of the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona, 
and the Tohono O'odham Nation of Arizona that this notice has been 
published.
