Correction

    In the Federal Register (84 FR 38049, August 5, 2019), column 1, 
paragraph 2, sentences 1 and 2 under the heading ``Consultation'' are 
corrected by substituting the following sentences:

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the Los 
Angeles County Museum of Natural History (LACMNH) professional staff 
in consultation with representatives of the San Manuel Band of 
Mission Indians, California (previously listed as the San Manual 
Band of Serrano Mission Indians of the San Manual Reservation); 
Fernande[ntilde]o Tataviam Band of Mission Indians, a non-federally 
recognized Indian group; and the San Fernando Band of Mission 
Indians, a non-federally recognized Indian group. The Morongo Band 
of Mission Indians, California (previously listed as the Morongo 
Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians of the Morongo Reservation); Santa 
Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California; and 
the Tejon Indian Tribe were invited to consult but deferred to the 
San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, California (previously listed as 
the San Manual Band of Serrano Mission Indians of the San Manual 
Reservation).

    In the Federal Register (84 FR 38050, August 5, 2019), column 2, 
sentence 1 is corrected by substituting the following sentence:

    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 San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, 
California (previously listed as the San Manual Band of Serrano 
Mission Indians of the San Manual Reservation), as well as, the 
Fernande[ntilde]o Tataviam Band of Mission Indians and the San 
Fernando Band of Mission Indians, both of which are non-federally 
recognized Indian groups.

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 Amy

Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90007, telephone (213) 763-3370, email 
[email protected], by April 22, 2020. After that date, if no additional 
requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the human remains 
to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, California (previously 
listed as the San Manual Band of Serrano Mission Indians of the San 
Manual Reservation); Fernande[ntilde]o Tataviam Band of Mission Indians 
(if joined to a request from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, 
California), and the San Fernando Band of Mission Indians (if joined to 
a request from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, California) may 
proceed.
