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 Missouri 
Department of Natural Resources. The human remains and associated 
funerary objects were removed from the Clarksville Mound Group Site 
(23PI6) in Pike County, MO.
    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 cultural affiliation of the human remains 
and associated funerary objects originally published in a Notice of 
Inventory Completion in the Federal Register (82 FR 44453-44454, 
September 22, 2017). This correction is based on evidence of cultural 
affiliation of the human remains and associated funerary objects with 
The Osage Nation (previously listed as the Osage Tribe) that was 
provided after the Notice of Inventory Completion was published, 
including the December 21, 2018 Native American Graves Protection and 
Repatriation Review Committee Finding Regarding Human Remains and 
Associated Funerary Objects Under the Control of the State of Missouri 
Department of Natural Resources, State Historic Preservation Office, 
Jefferson City, MO, published in the Federal Register (84 FR 13064-
13065, April 3, 2019). Transfer of control of the items in this 
correction notice has not occurred.

Correction

    In the Federal Register (82 FR 44453, September 22, 2017), column 
3, full paragraph 3, under the heading ``Correction'' is corrected by 
substituting the following paragraph:

    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 Osage Nation (previously listed as the 
Osage Tribe).

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 and associated 
funerary objects should submit a written request with information in 
support of the request to Mike Sutherland, Missouri Department of 
Natural Resources, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, MO 65102, telephone 
(573) 751-2123, email [email protected], by September 16, 
2019. After that date, if no additional requestors have come forward, 
transfer of control of the human remains and associated funerary 
objects to The Osage Nation (previously listed as the Osage Tribe) may 
proceed.
    The Missouri Department of Natural Resources is responsible for 
notifying the Sac & Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska; Sac 
& Fox Nation, Oklahoma; Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa; and 
The Osage Nation (previously listed as the Osage Tribe) that this 
notice has been published.
