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 University of 
California, Davis, Davis, CA. The human remains and associated funerary 
objects were removed from Lake County, CA.
    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 minimum number of individuals and the 
number of associated funerary objects published in a Notice of 
Inventory Completion in the Federal Register (74 FR 32182-32183, July 
7, 2009). Additional human remains were newly identified after review 
of faunal collections. In addition, human remains from CA-LAK-152 
previously identified as culturally unidentifiable were re-evaluated in 
consultation with Indian Tribes and were determined to be culturally 
affiliated. Based on both consultation and a review of the original 
field records, additional associated funerary objects were identified. 
Transfer of control of the items in this correction notice has not 
occurred.

Correction

    In the Federal Register of July 7, 2009, in FR Doc. E9-16017, on 
page 32182, make the following corrections:
    1. On page 32182, in the third column, first paragraph, correct the 
first sentence to read:
    In 1971-1973, human remains representing a minimum of three 
individuals were removed from CA-LAK-152, Lake County, CA, by the 
University of California, Davis archeological field school.

[[Page 62321]]

    2. On page 32182, in the third column, first paragraph, correct the 
fifth sentence to read:
    The 208 associated funerary objects are one obsidian biface, seven 
lots of non-human faunal bone, four lots of charcoal, 119 clamshell 
disc beads, two lots of debitage, seven lots of burned pine nut 
fragments, two firecracked groundstone fragments, 57 Olivella shell 
beads, seven tabular stones, and two lots of obsidian flakes. (104 
clamshell disc beads are currently missing from the collection).
    3. On page 32182, in the third column, correct the second paragraph 
to read:
    Based on burial context and site characteristics, the human remains 
described above from Lake County are determined to be Native American. 
The burials from the site are dated to approximately A.D. 1520-1770 
(Phase 2 of the Late Period), based on the antiquity of the associated 
funerary objects. Historical, archeological, anthropological and 
linguistic evidence demonstrate a relationship of shared group identity 
between the human remains and associated funerary objects described 
here and the Patwin Tribes.
    4. On page 32182, in the third column, third paragraph, correct the 
fifth sentence to read:
    The 353 associated funerary objects are 39 clam shell disc beads 
and bead fragments, 295 historic glass beads and bead fragments, one 
bone bead fragment, one Gunther barbed point, one historic copper ring, 
four unmodified pebbles, three shell fragments, three obsidian 
projectile points, one calcined bone (previously identified as a 
possible stone bead fragment), and five pieces of incised bird bone 
that may be from a whistle or ear tube.
    In the Federal Register of July 7, 2009, in FR Doc. E9-16017, on 
page 32183, make the following correction:
    1. On page 32183, in the first column, second paragraph, correct 
the first two sentences to read:
    Officials of the University of California, Davis have determined 
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described 
above represent the physical remains of four individuals of Native 
American ancestry. Officials of the University of California, Davis 
also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3) (A), the 561 
objects described 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.

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

Dehe Band of Wintun Indians (previously listed as Cortina Indian 
Rancheria and the Cortina Indian Rancheria of Wintun Indians of 
California); and the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, California (previously
