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 under 
the control of the Tennessee Valley Authority, Knoxville, TN. The human 
remains were removed from site 1JA155 in Jackson County, AL.
    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. The National Park Service is not responsible 
for the determinations in this notice.
    This notice corrects the minimum number of individuals published in 
a Notice of Inventory Completion in the Federal Register (81 FR 63793-
63795, September 16, 2016). Additional human remains and associated 
funerary objects from these sites were discovered during improvement of 
the curation of the non-NAGPRA TVA archeological collection. Transfer 
of control of the items in this correction notice has not occurred.

From January to April 1939, human remains representing, at minimum, 
32 individuals were removed from the Crow Creek Island site, 1JA155, 
in Jackson County, AL.

notice represent the physical remains of 353 individuals of Native 
American ancestry.

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 should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to Dr.

37902, telephone (865) 632-7458, email [email protected], by April 1,

of Texas (previously listed as the Alabama-Coushatta Tribes of Texas); 
Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town; Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana; and The
