ADDRESSES: Kathryn Miyar, Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, Mission San Luis State Archaeological Collections, 2100 West Tennessee Street, Tallahassee, FL 32304, telephone (850) 245-6301, email [email protected]. 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 object under the control of the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, Tallahassee, FL. The human remains and associated funerary object were removed from the McClamory Key site (8LV288), Levy County, FL. 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 object. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. This notice corrects the number of associated funerary objects and the listing of Indian Tribes that are recognized as aboriginal to the area from which the human remains and associated funerary objects were removed published in a Notice of Inventory Completion in the Federal Register (82 FR 12836-12839, March 7, 2017). Four hafted bifaces were found initially in association with human burials eroding from site 8LV288, however, three of these bifaces were recorded in the field and then reburied in the vicinity of the burials. When the archeological crew returned to the site to prepare for recovery operations of the burials, due to looting activity at the site, these bifaces could not be relocated and are presumed to have been looted by the same individual or individuals who had disturbed the burials earlier that year. Therefore, there is only one biface in the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources Archaeological Collections. There are three Indian Tribes that are recognized as aboriginal to the area from which the human remains were removed, not one. Transfer of control of the items in this correction notice has not occurred. Correction In the Federal Register (82 FR 12838, March 7, 2017), column 2, paragraph 3, sentence 12 is corrected by substituting the following sentence: Associated funerary objects include one hafted lithic biface. In the Federal Register (82 FR 12838, March 7, 2017), column 3, paragraph 1, sentence 3 is corrected by substituting the following sentence: Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the one object described in this notice is 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. In the Federal Register (82 FR 12838, March 7, 2017), column 3, paragraph 1, sentence 5 is corrected by substituting the following sentence: According to final judgments of the Indian Claims Commission or the Court of Federal Claims, the land from which the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects were removed is the aboriginal land of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians; Seminole Tribe of Florida (previously listed as the Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa Reservations)); and The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. In the Federal Register (82 FR 12838, March 7, 2017), column 3, paragraph 1, sentence 6 is corrected by substituting the following sentence: Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the human remains may be to the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians; Seminole Tribe of Florida (previously listed as the Seminole Tribe of Florida (Dania, Big Cypress, Brighton, Hollywood & Tampa Reservations)); and The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma.
