Title of Collection: Application for Approval to Participate in Federal Student Aid Programs.

OMB Control Number: 1845-0012.

Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR.

Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments; Private Sector Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,248.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 16,097.

Abstract: Section 487(c) of the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as amended, requires that the Secretary of Education prescribe regulations to ensure that any funds postsecondary institutions receive under the HEA are used solely for the purposes specified in and in accordance with the provision of the applicable programs.

Part H, Subpart 3, Section 498 of the HEA of 1965, as amended, gives the Secretary the responsibility for determining qualifications of institutions of higher education to participate in programs under the HEA. To comply with this requirement Section 498(b) of the HEA specified that the Secretary prepare and prescribe a single application form. The Department of Education (the Department) developed the Application for Approval to Participate in the Federal Student Financial Aid Programs to comply with the statutory requirements of collecting necessary information under the HEA. An institution must use this Application to apply for approval to be determined to be eligible and if the institution wishes, to participate; to expand its eligibility; or to continue to participate in the Title IV programs. An institution must also use the Application to report certain required data as part of its recordkeeping requirements contained in the regulations under 34 CFR part 600 (Institutional Eligibility under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended).

The Department uses the information reported on the Application in its determination of whether an institution meets the statutory and regulatory requirements. This request is for a revision of the current information collection.

The Bureau debars Mr. Asad from the federal Lifeline Program and all federal universal service support mechanisms pursuant to 47 CFR 54.8. Attached is the debarment letter, DA 25-1008, which was mailed to Mr. Asad and released on December 17, 2025. The complete text of the notice of debarment is available on the FCC's website at https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-25-1008A1.pdf.

The Lifeline program provides support for discounted broadband and voice services to low-income consumers. Lifeline is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) under FCC direction. Consumers qualify for Lifeline through proof of income or participation in a qualifying program, such as Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), Federal Public Housing Assistance, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit, or various Tribal-specific federal assistance programs.

In the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, Public Law 116-260, 134 Stat. 1182, 2129-36 (2020), Congress created the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, and directed use of the National Verifier to determine eligibility based on various criteria, including the qualifications for Lifeline (Medicaid, SNAP, etc.). EBBP provided $3.2 billion in monthly consumer discounts for broadband service and one-time provider reimbursement for a connected device (laptop, desktop computer or tablet). In the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Public Law 117-58, 135 Stat. 429, 1238-44 (2021) (codified at 47 U.S.C. 1751-52), Congress modified and extended EBBP, provided an additional $14.2 billion, and renamed it the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). A household may qualify for the ACP benefit under various criteria, including an individual qualifying for the FCC's Lifeline program.

In a Report and Order adopted on March 31, 2016, (81 FR 33026, May 24, 2016) ( 2016 Lifeline Modernization Order ), the Commission ordered USAC to create a National Lifeline Eligibility Verifier (“National Verifier”), including the National Lifeline Eligibility Database (LED), that would match data about Lifeline applicants and subscribers with other data sources to verify the eligibility of an applicant or subscriber. The Commission found that the National Verifier would reduce compliance costs for Lifeline service providers, improve service for Lifeline subscribers, and reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in the program.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 directs the FCC to leverage the National Verifier to verify applicants' eligibility for ACP. The purpose of this matching program is to verify the eligibility of Lifeline and ACP applicants and subscribers by determining whether they receive SNAP and Medicaid benefits administered by the Florida Department of Children and Families.

Florida Department of Children and Families (source agency); Federal Communications Commission (recipient agency); and Universal Service Administrative Company.

The authority to conduct the matching program for the FCC's ACP is 47 U.S.C. 1752(a) and (b). The authority to conduct the matching program for the FCC's Lifeline program is 47 U.S.C. 254(a) through (c), (j).

The purpose of this new matching agreement is to verify the eligibility of applicants and subscribers to Lifeline, as well as to ACP and other Federal programs that use qualification for Lifeline as an eligibility criterion. This new agreement will permit eligibility verification for the Lifeline program and ACP by checking an applicant's/subscriber's participation in SNAP and Medicaid in Florida. Under FCC rules, consumers receiving these benefits qualify for Lifeline discounts and also for ACP benefits.

The categories of individuals whose information is involved in the matching program include, but are not limited to, those individuals who have applied for Lifeline and/or ACP benefits; are currently receiving Lifeline and/or ACP benefits; are individuals who enable another individual in their household to qualify for Lifeline and/or ACP benefits; are minors whose status qualifies a parent or guardian for Lifeline and/or ACP benefits; or are individuals who have received Lifeline and/or ACP benefits.

The categories of records involved in the matching program include the last four digits of the applicant's Social Security Number, date of birth, first and last name. The National Verifier will transfer these data elements to the Florida Department of Children and Families which will respond either “yes” or “no” that the individual is enrolled in a qualifying assistance program: SNAP and Medicaid administered by the Florida Department of Children and Families.

The records shared as part of this matching program reside in the Lifeline system of records, FCC/WCB-1, Lifeline, which was published in the Federal Register at 89 FR 28777 (Apr. 19, 2024).

The records shared as part of this matching program reside in the ACP system of records, FCC/WCB-3, Affordable Connectivity Program, which was published in the Federal Register at 89 FR 28780 (Apr. 19, 2024).

Title: Rule Concerning Disclosure of Written Consumer Product Warranty Terms and Conditions, 16 CFR part 701.

OMB Control Number: 3084-0111.

Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: The Warranty Rule is one of three rules  1 that the FTC implemented pursuant to requirements of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. 2301 et seq. (Warranty Act or Act). 2 The Warranty Rule specifies the information that must appear in a written warranty on a consumer product  3 costing more than $15. The Rule tracks Section 102(a) of the Warranty Act, 4 specifying information that must appear in the written warranty and, for certain disclosures, mandates the exact language that must be used. 5 Neither the Warranty Rule nor the Act requires that a manufacturer or retailer warrant a consumer product in writing, but if they choose to do so, the warranty must comply with the Rule.

Estimated Annual Hours Burden: 209,048 hours.

Estimated Annual Labor Cost Burden: $28,977,188.

As required by Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), the FTC is providing this opportunity for public comment before requesting that OMB extend the existing clearance for the information collection requirements contained in the Warranty Rule.

Total annual hours burden: 209,048 hours.

In its 2022 submission to OMB, the FTC estimated that the information collection burden of including the disclosures required by the Warranty Rule was 216,752 hours per year. Although the Rule's information collection requirements have not changed, the current estimate decreases the number of manufacturers subject to the Rule based on recent Census data. 6 Further, because most warrantors likely would continue to disclose the information required by the Rule, even if there were no statute or rule requiring them to do so, staff's estimates likely overstate the PRA-related burden attributable to the Rule. Moreover, the Warranty Rule has been in effect since 1976, and warrantors have long since modified their warranties to include the information the Rule requires.

Based on conversations with various warrantors' representatives over the years, staff has concluded that eight hours per year is a reasonable estimate of warrantors' PRA-related burden attributable to the Warranty Rule. This estimate includes the number of hours warrantors may need to ensure new warranties and any changes to existing warranties comply with the Rule. Based on recent Census data, staff now estimates that there are 26,131 manufacturers covered by the Rule. 7 This results in an annual burden estimate of approximately 209,048 hours (26,131 manufacturers × 8 hours of burden per year).

Total annual labor costs: $28,977,188.

Labor costs are derived by applying appropriate hourly cost figures to the burden hours described above. The work required to comply with the Warranty Rule—ensuring that new warranties and changes to existing warranties comply with the Rule—requires a mix of legal analysis (50%), legal support (paralegals) (25%) and clerical help (25%). Staff estimates that half of the total burden hours (104,524 hours) requires legal analysis at an average hourly wage of $250 for legal professionals, 8 resulting in a labor cost of $26,131,000. Assuming that 25% of the total burden hours requires legal support at the average hourly wage of $32.60, and that the remaining 25% requires clerical work at an average hourly wage of $21.86, the resulting labor cost is approximately $2,846,188 ($1,703,741 + $1,142,447). Thus, the total annual labor cost is approximately $28,977,188 ($26,131,000 for legal professionals + $1,703,741 for legal support + $1,142,447 for clerical workers).

The Rule imposes no appreciable current capital or start-up costs that businesses do not already spend in the normal course of business. To comply with the Warranty Rule, warrantors need only the ordinary office equipment to draft new warranties and to change the wording of existing warranties to include the required disclosures. Thus, compliance requires no capital equipment or special technology apart from what the manufacturer or seller would already be using as part of the normal course of business, such as computer or other word processing equipment, and photocopying equipment. Similarly, distribution of the warranty does not impose any special capital costs apart from the packaging and printing equipment already in use by the business. It is not possible to state with any precision what fraction of the cost of that equipment could be attributed to distributing the warranty.

The only ongoing costs involved with compliance are those costs associated with maintenance and repair of computer word processing and photocopying equipment used to generate the warranty document that contains the required disclosures. These are costs that the seller or manufacturer already bears in the normal cost of business; it is unlikely that Warranty Rule compliance would impose significant incremental costs. Likewise, the cost of distributing warranty information involves such things as the purchase of supplies (such as paper), the maintenance of equipment, or the purchase of services to print, package, and distribute the warranty. These are costs that would be already built into the packaging and distribution of the product itself and which are already assumed as part of the normal course of business.

Pursuant to Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the FTC invites comments on: (1) whether the information collection requirements are necessary, including whether the information will be practically useful; (2) the accuracy of our burden estimates, including whether the methodology and assumptions used are valid; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information.

This information collection is for GSA Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) offerors and contractors subject to certain pricing disclosures and sales reporting requirements ( i.e. referred to as CSP/PRC requirements). CSP/PRC requirements are found within the basic version of General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) clause 552.238-80, Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting and the basic version of GSAR clause 552.238-81, Price Reductions; GSAR section 515.408(b) and (c); GSAR clause 552.238-83 Examination of Records by GSA; GSAR clause 552.238-85, Contractor's Billing Responsibilities; and GSAR clause 552.238-120, Economic Price Adjustment—Federal Supply Schedule Contracts. This information collection does not apply to GSA FSS offerors and contractors subject to Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) requirements. The burden associated with TDR requirements is covered under information collection OMB control number 3090-0306, Transactional Data Reporting.

The total estimated annual public cost burden and total estimated annual public burden hours for this information collection is estimated to be:

These estimates are calculated by adding up the total estimated annual burden cost/hour for each of the GSAR clauses covered by this information collection. Additionally, these estimates take into account the following impacts:

1. During the renewal period of this information collection FSS offerors and contractors will no longer be subject to the aforementioned CSP/PRC requirements and instead will be covered by TDR requirements. The transition to TDR is based on Class Deviation CD-2025-13, Revised Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) Requirements for the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Program, which was issued on June 26, 2025. The class deviation (CD) amends the GSAR to remove CSP/PRC and make TDR requirements mandatory for the FSS program.

As a result of this CD—

a. The FSS solicitation will be amended to remove CSP/PRC requirements.

b. Existing FSS contractors will need to transition to TDR. GSA anticipates the transition to be completed by the end of Year 1 of this renewal period.

2. Alternate I of GSAR clause 552.216-70, Economic Price Adjustment—FSS Multiple Award Schedule Contract, was replaced by GSAR clause 552.238-120, Economic Price Adjustment—Federal Supply Schedule Contracts. This new clause is less burdensome than the prior clause and provides more flexibility.

A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 90 FR 47307 on October 1, 2025. No public comments were received.

The General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) 552.236-79, Construction-Contractor-as-Constructor, requires the contractor to submit a proposal to establish the final estimated cost of the work, to convert the contract to a firm-fixed-price, and to determine the final settlement for construction-manager-as-constructor (CMc) projects.

The CMc refers to a project management and contracting technique that is one of three predominant methods used for acquiring construction services by GSA. The other two methods are design-bid-build and design-build. The private sector commonly uses a similar construction project delivery method, which allows for early industry engagement by the construction contractor to enable reduced cost growth, reduced schedule growth, and administrative savings.

The information is used by contracting officers to evaluate proposals and negotiate contract modifications during contract administration. This collection supports the Government's shift toward category management by providing a more robust playbook framework for efficient procurement of construction services.

Total public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 400 total hours ($33,300) annually, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering, and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. The estimated burden hours to the public for the below clauses are as follows:

GSAR 552.236-79, Construction-Contractor-as-Constructor, requires the contractor to submit a proposal to establish the final estimated cost of the work, to convert the contract to a firm-fixed-price, and to determine the final settlement.

Respondents: 10.

Responses per Respondent: 1.

Total Annual Responses: 10.

Hours per Response: 40.

Total Response Burden Hours: 400.

Cost per Hour: $83.25.

Estimated Cost Burden to the Public: $33,300.

GSAR 552.236-80, Accounting Records, contains a recordkeeping requirement that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq. ). The clause requires the contractor to keep all relevant documents for a period of three years after the final payment. However, the clause does not add burden to what is already estimated for the existing FAR clause at 52.215-2, Audit and Records by a previous information collection (see OMB Control Number 9000-0034).

A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register at 90 FR 42410 on September 2, 2025. No public comments were received.

This information collection is for GSA Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) and non-FSS offerors and contractors subject to transactional data report (TDR) requirements. Transactional data encompasses the historical details of the products or services delivered by a contractor during the performance of task or delivery orders issued against a contract subject to TDR requirements. TDR requirements are found within Alternate I of General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) clause 552.238-80, Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting; 552.216-75, Transactional Data Reporting; Alternate I of 552.238-81, Price Reductions; 552.238-83 Examination of Records by GSA; 552.238-85, Contractor's Billing Responsibilities; and 552.238-120, Economic Price Adjustment—Federal Supply Schedule Contracts. This information collection does not apply to GSA FSS offerors and contractors subject to pricing disclosures and sales reporting requirements. The burden associated with pricing disclosures and sales reporting requirements is covered under information collection OMB control number 3090-0235, Federal Supply Schedule Pricing Disclosures and Sales Reporting.

The total estimated annual public cost burden and total estimated annual public burden hours for this information collection is estimated to be:

The reason Year 1 numbers are higher than Years 2 & 3 numbers is due to the transition of existing FSS non-TDR contracts to TDR during Year 1 of this renewal period.

These estimates are calculated by adding up the total estimated annual burden cost/hour for each of the GSAR clauses covered by this information collection. Additionally, these estimates take into account the following impacts:

1. During the renewal period of this information collection, all FSS offerors and contractors will fall under TDR ( i.e., FSS offerors and contractors will no longer be subject to the aforementioned pricing disclosures and sales reporting requirements). The transition to TDR is based on Class Deviation CD-2025-13, Revised Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) Requirements for the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Program, which was issued on June 26, 2025. The class deviation (CD) amends the GSAR to remove certain pricing disclosures and sales reporting requirements and makes TDR requirements mandatory for the FSS program. As a result of this CD,

a. The FSS solicitation will be amended to remove pricing disclosures and sales reporting requirements.

b. Existing FSS contractors will need to transition to TDR. GSA anticipates the transition to be completed by the end of Year 1 of this renewal period.

2. Alternate I of GSAR clause 552.216-70, Economic Price Adjustment—FSS Multiple Award Schedule Contract, was replaced by GSAR clause 552.238-120, Economic Price Adjustment—Federal Supply Schedule Contracts. This new clause is less burdensome than the prior clause and provides more flexibility.

The following provides the basis for calculating the burden cost/hour for GSA clauses 552.216-75, and Alternate I of GSAR clause 552.238-80. These calculations account for the aforementioned transition to TDR during this renewal period.

Initial Setup:

○ Estimated hourly rate & job position equivalency. The estimated hourly cost associated with this task is based on the task being accomplished by senior level personnel equivalent to a GS-14, Step 5 employee. A GS-14, Step 5 employee hourly rate for 2025 is $92.15 (“Rest of U.S.” locality using OPM Salary Table 2025-RUS, Effective January 2025).

○ Estimated hours by system for initial set-up. A contractor complying with TDR requirements will absorb a one-time setup burden for purposes of establishing a reporting system ( i.e., automated reporting system vs. manual reporting system). The estimated setup time varies between automated and manual reporting systems. GSA estimates the average one-time initial setup burden is 10 hours for a manual system and 245 hours for an automated system.

Monthly Reporting:

○ Estimated hourly rate & job position equivalency. The estimated hourly cost associated with this task is based on the task being accomplished by mid-level personnel equivalent to a GS-12, Step 5 employee. A GS-12, Step 5 employee hourly rate for 2022 is $65.58 ( i.e., using “Rest of U.S.” locality within the OPM Salary Table for 2022-RUS, Effective January 2025).

○ Categorization of contractors by sales revenue. GSA estimates the likelihood of contractors with lower to no reportable sales will spend relatively little time on reporting. In contrast, contractors with more reportable sales will face a higher reporting burden. To account for this difference, GSA is using the below sales revenue categories:

○ Automated system vs. manual reporting system. GSA estimates the likelihood of a contractor creating an automated reporting system increases with a contractor's sales revenue. In contrast, contractors with little to no sales revenue are unlikely to expend the effort needed to establish an automated reporting system. To account for this difference, GSA is using the below table. The below table shows by sales revenue category the estimated percentage of the likelihood of a contractor using a manual reporting system vs automated reporting system:

○ Estimated monthly reporting time (hours)—by reporting system and sales revenue category. GSA estimates that the monthly reporting time varies by type of reporting system ( i.e., manual or automated) and by respective sales revenue category. The below table shows GSA's estimated monthly reporting times per sales revenue category and system type:

The total estimated burden (hours/cost) for the remaining clauses covered by this information collection are as follows. These calculations account for the aforementioned transition to TDR during this renewal period as well.

552.238-85, Contractor's Billing Responsibilities, is 0 burden hours/$0.00 burden cost for Years 1 through 3. The reason for zero burden being associated with this clause is because the record keeping requirement contained in this clause does not add any additional burden to what is already captured by Alternate I of GSAR clause 552.238-80, which is covered by this information collection.

** The estimated cost per hour is based on the task being accomplished by personnel equivalent to a GS-14, Step 5. A GSA-14, Step 5 employee hourly rate for 2025 is $92.15.

A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 90 FR 47308 on October 1, 2025. One comment was received; however, the comment did not change the estimate of the burden. The respondents' comment supports the importance of the information collection and included information about an automated solution for purposes of assisting contractors with reporting. The respondents' input is appreciated.

AHRQ's EPC Program develops evidence reports on topics relevant to clinical and other health care organization and delivery issues—specifically those that are common, expensive, and/or significant for the Medicare and Medicaid populations. For example, recent reviews have focused on clinical conditions, such as “Cervical Degenerative Disease Treatment: A Systematic Review”; health delivery topics such as “Postpartum Care up to 1 Year After Pregnancy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis”; and specific technologies such as “Blood-Based Tests for Multiple Cancer Screening: A Systematic Review.” These evidence reports include systematic reviews, technical briefs, and rapid reviews, and provide an essential foundation from which to understand what we know from existing research and what critical research gaps remain. These reports and reviews are based on rigorous, comprehensive syntheses and analyses of the scientific literature on topics. EPC reports and assessments emphasize explicit and detailed documentation of methods, rationale, and assumptions. EPC reports are conducted in accordance with an established policy on financial and nonfinancial interests. These scientific syntheses may include meta-analyses.

The EPC Program supports AHRQ's mission by synthesizing and disseminating the available research as a “science partner” with private and public organizations in their efforts to improve the quality, effectiveness, and appropriateness of health care. The EPC Program is a trusted source of rigorous, comprehensive, and unbiased evidence reviews for stakeholders. The resulting evidence reports are used by Federal and State agencies, private-sector professional societies, health delivery systems, providers, payers, and others committed to evidence-based health care. These end-users may use EPC Program evidence reports to inform policy decisions, clinical practice guidelines, and other healthcare decisions.

AHRQ requests that OMB approve the renewal, without change, of the “Online Submission Form for Supplemental Evidence and Data for Systematic Reviews for the Evidence-based Practice” (OMB No. 0935-0231, last approved on November 22, 2022).

This activity, Online Submission Form for Supplemental Evidence and Data for Systematic Reviews for the Evidence-based Practice Center Program, seeks to answer the following research question:

1. Are there research studies or other information that can promote the comprehensiveness of AHRQ Evidence-based Practice Center Program evidence reviews?

This research has the following goals:

1. Use research methods to gather knowledge on the effectiveness and harms of certain treatments and healthcare delivery processes and models for medical conditions, both published and unpublished, to evaluate the quality of research studies and the evidence from these studies.

2. Promote the use of evidence in healthcare decision making to improve healthcare and health.

3. Identify research gaps to inform future research investments.

This study is being conducted by AHRQ through its contractor, Portland VA Research Foundation, with website assistance from another contractor, Riva Solutions, pursuant to AHRQ's statutory authority to conduct and support research on health care and on systems for the delivery of such care, including activities with respect to the quality, effectiveness, efficiency, appropriateness and value of healthcare services and with respect to quality measurement and improvement [42 U.S.C 299a(a)(1) and (2)].

To achieve the goals of this project the following data collection will be implemented:

• Online Submission Form. This information is collected for the purposes of providing supplemental evidence and data for systematic reviews (SEADS). The online submission form (OSF) collects data from respondents on their name, organization name, description of the submission, medical condition, intervention, and email address. For the purposes of meta-analyses, trial summary data from missing and unidentified studies are sought. For the purposes of constructing evidence tables and quality ratings ( e.g., on public reporting of cost measures or health information exchange), data can vary ( e.g., URLs, study designs, and consumer-mediated exchange forms). Information on both completed and ongoing studies are requested. Submitters may alternatively email their submission to the AHRQ EPC mailbox at epc@ahrq.hhs.gov.

The EPC Program currently uses broad-based email announcement to stakeholders and through AHRQ listservs, and in some cases an additional Federal Register notice to allow the public to know about each topic, and the opportunity to submit scientific information. AHRQ plans to conduct one SEADS collection per topic. Up to twenty-four topics per year with SEADS portals are anticipated; over the past 3 years the number of SEADS portals has ranged from 10-19; with an average range of 0-11 potential respondents per topic. The EPC Program does not anticipate more than 40 topics per year with SEADS portals.

Exhibit 1 presents estimates of the reporting burden hours for the data collection efforts. Time estimates are based on pilot testing of materials and what can reasonably be requested of respondents. The number of respondents listed in “Number of respondents” of Exhibit 1 reflects a projected upper range response rate per SEADS portal multiplied by the anticipated upper limit of number of SEADS portals per year, based on historical information over the past 3 years. The total burden is estimated to be 50 hours.

Exhibit 2 shows the annualized cost burden to submit the Online Submission Form. The cost burden is estimated to be $7,449.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520, comments on AHRQ's information collection are requested with regard to any of the following: (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of AHRQ's health care research and health care information dissemination functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of AHRQ's estimate of burden (including hours and costs) of the proposed collection(s) of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information upon the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and included in the Agency's subsequent request for OMB approval of the proposed information collection. All comments will become a matter of public record.

The Child HCAHPS survey assesses the experiences of pediatric patients (less than 18 years old) and their parents or guardians with inpatient care. It complements the CAHPS Adult Hospital Survey (HCAHPS), which asks adult inpatients about their experiences. The Child HCAHPS Survey Database is a voluntary database available to all Child HCAHPS users to support both quality improvement and research to enhance the patient-centeredness of care delivered to pediatric hospital patients. AHRQ requests that OMB approve the reinstatement, without change, of AHRQ's collection of information for the Child HCAHPS Survey Database (OMB Control number 0935-0243, last approved on October 12, 2022).

Like the survey instrument itself and related toolkit materials to support survey implementation, aggregated Child HCAHPS Survey Database results will be made publicly available on AHRQ's CAHPS website. Technical assistance will be provided by AHRQ through its contractor at no charge to hospitals to facilitate the access and use of these materials for quality improvement and research. Technical assistance is also provided to support Child HCAHPS data submission.

The Child HCAHPS Survey Database supports AHRQ's goals of promoting improvements in the quality and patient-centeredness of health care in pediatric hospital settings.

This research seeks to answer the following research questions:

1. What are the key drivers of patient experience in pediatric settings?

2. How do pediatric patients experience of care vary across the West, Midwest, South, and Northeast regions?

3. What are the highest and lowest scoring measures in specific areas of care for pediatric hospitals?

This research has the following goals:

1. Improve care provided by individual hospitals and hospital systems.

2. Offer several products and services, including providing survey results presented through summary chartbooks, custom analyses, private reports and data for research purposes.

3. Provides information to help identify strengths and areas with potential for improvement in patient care.

Survey data from the Child HCAHPS Survey Database will be used to produce two types of reporting products:

• Hospital Feedback Reports. Hospitals that submit data will have access to a customized report that presents findings for their individual submission along with results from the database overall. These “private” hospital feedback reports will display sortable results for each of the Child HCAHPS core composite measures and for each individual survey item that forms the composite measure.

• Child HCAHPS Chartbook. A summary-level Chartbook will be compiled to display top box and other proportional scores for the Child HCAHPS items and composite measures broken out by selected hospital characteristics ( e.g., region, hospital size, ownership and affiliation, etc.).

This study is being conducted by AHRQ through its contractor, Westat, pursuant to AHRQ's statutory authority to conduct and support research on health care and on systems for the delivery of such care, including activities with respect to the quality, effectiveness, efficiency, appropriateness and value of healthcare services; to quality measurement and improvement; and health surveys and database development [42 U.S.C 299a(a)(1), (2), and (8)].

To achieve the goals of this project, the following data collections will be implemented:

• Registration with the submission website to obtain an account with a secure username and password: The point-of-contact (POC), often the hospital, completes a number of data submission steps and forms, beginning with the completion of the online registration form. The purpose of this form is to collect basic contact information about the organization and initiate the registration process;

• Submission of signed Data Use Agreements (DUAs) and survey questionnaires: The purpose of the data use agreement, completed by the participating hospital, is to state how data submitted by or on behalf of hospitals will be used and provide confidentiality assurances;

• Submission of hospital information form: The purpose of this form, completed by the participating organization, is to collect background characteristics of the hospital;

• Submission of survey data files: POCs upload their data file using the Hospital data file specifications to ensure that users submit standardized and consistent data in the way variables are named, coded, and formatted.

Exhibit 1 shows the estimated burden hours for the respondent to participate in the database. The 54 POCs in Exhibit 1 are a combination of an estimated 50 hospitals that currently administer the Child HCAHPS survey and the four survey vendors assisting them.

Each hospital will register online for submission. The online Registration form will require about five minutes to complete. Each submitter will also complete a hospital information form. The online hospital information form takes on average five minutes to complete. The DUA will be completed by each of the 50 participating hospitals. Survey vendors do not sign or submit DUAs. The DUAs are submitted by the participating hospitals and requires about three minutes to sign and upload to the online submission system. Each submitter, which in most cases will be the survey vendor performing the data collection, will provide a copy of their questionnaire and the survey data file in the required file format. Survey data files must conform to the data file layout specifications provided by the Child HCAHPS Survey Database. Since the unit of analysis is at the hospital level, submitters will upload one data file per hospital. Once a data file is uploaded, the file will be automatically checked to ensure it conforms to the specifications, and a data file status report will be produced and made available to the submitter. Submitters will review each report and will be expected to correct any errors in their data file and resubmit if necessary. It will take about one hour to submit the data for each hospital. The total burden is estimated to be 61 hours annually.

Exhibit 2 shows the estimated annualized cost burden based on the respondents' time to complete one submission process. The cost burden is estimated to be $6,801 annually.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520, comments on AHRQ's information collection are requested with regard to any of the following: (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of AHRQ's health care research and health care information dissemination functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of AHRQ's estimate of burden (including hours and costs) of the proposed collection(s) of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information upon the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and included in the Agency's subsequent request for OMB approval of the proposed information collection. All comments will become a matter of public record.

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term “collection of information” is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that summarizes the following proposed collection(s) of information for public comment.

1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Requirement for Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances (EPCS) for a Covered Part D Drug Under a Prescription Drug Plan or an MA-PD Plan; Use: Section 2003 of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act of 2018 requires that prescribing of a Schedule II, III, IV, and V controlled substance under Medicare Part D be done electronically in accordance with an electronic prescription drug program beginning January 1, 2021, subject to any exceptions, which HHS may specify. In the calendar year (CY) 2021 and 2022 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) final rules, CMS finalized the electronic prescribing for controlled substances (EPCS) requirements and exceptions at 42 CFR 423.160(a)(5). Compliance for prescribers not in long-term care facilities begins in CY 2023. Compliance for prescribers in long-term care facilities begins in CY 2028.

EPCS requirements do not require prescribers or pharmacies to submit additional data to CMS; however, CMS did finalize one exception that requires data collection. The EPCS exception, at § 423.160(a)(5)(iii), requires a prescriber to apply for a waiver if the prescriber is unable to conduct EPCS due to circumstances beyond the prescriber's control. This collection of information is necessary to provide adequate and timely exception from the EPCS requirements if the prescriber is unable to conduct EPCS due to circumstances beyond the prescriber's control. Form Number: CMS-10834 (OMB control number: 0938-1455); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: Public sector (State, Local or Tribal Governments), Private sector (Business or other for-profits and Not-for-profit institutions); Number of Respondents: 306; Total Annual Responses: 306; Total Annual Hours: 52. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Carrie Sena at 410-786-8003.)

Description: The purpose of the SRAE program is to educate youth on how to voluntarily refrain from nonmarital sexual activity and prevent other youth risk behaviors. Data will continue to be used to determine if the SRAE grant recipients are meeting their programs' mission and priorities.

The SRAE performance measures are collected from SRAE grant recipients, program providers, and participants. The data include information on program structure, cost, and support for implementation; program attendance, reach, and dosage; the characteristics of youth involved in programming; youth sexual and other risky behavior prior to program participation; and youth sexual and other risky behavior intentions at program exit. The performance measures help the ACF program office and grant recipients to monitor and report on progress in implementing SRAE programs and inform technical assistance.

Some of the performance measures data come from youth participants through surveys SRAE grant recipients administer at program entry and exit. There are separate versions of the entry and exit surveys for middle school youth, which exclude some of the more sensitive items that are included in the versions for high school and older youth. There is also a shorter version of the entry survey for programs conducting impact studies, to reduce the burden on participants in those programs who are likely responding to other surveys as part of their impact study. Although there was a version of the exit survey for programs conducting impact studies in the past, it was removed through the previous OMB request, and youth in these programs now complete the same version of the exit survey as other youth.

For continuity, ACF proposes to use the currently approved materials through June 2026, after which revised versions of the performance measures would be implemented. This phased in approach will ease the transition for grant recipients by providing them with ample time for implementation and will allow for data consistency by not changing measures in the middle of a data collection year. The proposed revisions to the current performance measures address feedback from grant recipients to simplify and clarify participant surveys and ensure the measures meet FYSB data needs. The proposed revisions to the participant surveys were cognitively tested with program participants for clarity and to check burden estimates. The changes reduce the burden for completing the participant entry survey from 8 minutes to 5 minutes per response and the participant exit survey from 10 to 7 minutes. Overall, we expect a 61 percent reduction in the annual burden hours under this request compared to the previously approved annual burden.

Respondents: General Departmental (GDSRAE), State (SSRAE), and Competitive (CSRAE) grant recipients, their subrecipients, and program participants.

Information Collection Request Title: Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program—OMB No. 0915-0334—Revision

Abstract: This is a request for continued OMB approval of the information collection requirements for the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP or Program). This request includes revisions to improve the efficiency of the information collection process and the quality of the information collected. The revisions streamline questions on the information collection documents and update CICP contact information. HRSA administers CICP in accordance with the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) and CICP regulations at 42 CFR part 110. CICP is requesting continued approval for this information collection, which includes documents specified in CICP's regulations (42 CFR part 110).

The PREP Act authorized the establishment of the CICP and provides liability immunity to covered persons for claims of loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the administration or use of covered countermeasures for diseases, threats, and conditions identified in PREP Act declarations. The immunity extended in the PREP Act encourages the development, manufacture, testing, distribution, and administration/use of countermeasures ( e.g., vaccine, medication, device) when a disease, health condition, or other threat to health constitutes a public health emergency, or there is a credible risk that it may in the future constitute such an emergency.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: CICP provides compensation to eligible individuals who suffer serious injuries or death directly caused by a covered countermeasure administered or used pursuant to a PREP Act Declaration or to their estates and/or to certain survivors. An individual who is an injured countermeasure recipient, the estate or survivor(s) of a deceased injured countermeasure recipient, or their representative is responsible for submitting the Request for Benefits (RFB) package, as well as the injured countermeasure recipient's medical records and supporting documentation. Individuals can apply at any time, but eligibility for compensation is subject to meeting applicable filing deadlines and other requirements.

To determine whether a requester is eligible for Program benefits (compensation) for a countermeasure injury, CICP staff must review the RFB package, which includes the following:

(1) RFB Form and Supporting Medical Documentation: Submission of this RFB form and supporting medical documentation initiate the CICP claims review process. CICP assesses the RFB form and supporting medical documentation to gather required information about the requester, document the use or administration of a countermeasure, and obtain medical information about the countermeasure recipient.

(2) Authorization for Use or Disclosure of Health Information Form (Authorization Form): The requester or representative, if applicable, completes the Authorization Form and gives medical providers permission to disclose the countermeasure recipient's health information via medical records to CICP for the purpose of determining eligibility for CICP benefits.

(3) Additional Medical Documentation and Certification: During the eligibility review, CICP provides requesters with the opportunity to supplement their RFB package with additional medical records and supporting documentation before the Program makes a final decision. CICP may ask requesters and/or representatives to complete and sign a form indicating whether they intend to submit additional required documentation before the final determination of their case. After CICP makes a final decision on a case, there are no other opportunities for a requester or representative to submit additional medical records or supporting documents.

(4) Supporting Benefits Documentation: A requester who is an injured countermeasure recipient may be eligible to receive benefits for unreimbursed medical expenses and/or lost employment income. The estate of a deceased injured countermeasure recipient may also be eligible to receive payment for unreimbursed medical expenses and/or lost employment income accrued before the injured countermeasure recipient's death. Requesters seeking such benefits must submit documentation of the injured countermeasure recipient's unreimbursed medical expenses and lost employment income. If the administration or use of a covered countermeasure directly caused an individual's death, certain of the individual's survivors may be eligible to receive a death benefit, but not unreimbursed medical expenses or lost employment income benefits (42 CFR 110.33). Survivors or their representatives must submit additional information, such as a marriage license, to prove that they are a survivor of the deceased countermeasure recipient.

The RFB package instructions outline the supporting documentation needed to determine the type and amount of benefits. This documentation is required under 42 CFR 110.60-110.63 to enable the Program to determine the type and amount of benefits the requester may be eligible to receive.

Likely Respondents: Countermeasure recipients, their estates, survivors, and/or their representatives, are the most likely respondents to this Federal Register notice regarding the CICP information collection request because CICP reviews and, if eligible, compensates countermeasure recipient injury claims.

Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments on: (1) the necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agency's functions, (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected, and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden.

When submitting comments or requesting information, please include the ICR title for reference.

Information Collection Request Title: Shortage Designation Management System OMB No. 0906-0029—Extension.

Abstract: HRSA is committed to improving the health of the Nation's underserved communities and vulnerable populations by developing, implementing, evaluating, and refining programs that strengthen the nation's health workforce. The Department of Health and Human Services relies on two federal shortage designations to identify and dedicate resources to areas and populations in greatest need of providers: Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) designations and Medically Underserved Area/Medically Underserved Population (MUA/P) designations. HPSA designations are geographic areas, population groups, and facilities that are experiencing a shortage of health professionals. The authorizing statute for the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) created HPSAs to fulfill the statutory requirement that NHSC personnel be directed to areas of greatest need. To further differentiate areas of greatest need, HRSA calculates a score for each HPSA. There are three categories of HPSAs based on health discipline: primary care, dental health, and mental health. Scores range from 1 to 25 for primary care and mental health and from 1 to 26 for dental health, with higher scores indicating greater need. They are used to prioritize applications for NHSC Loan Repayment Program award funding and determine service sites eligible to receive NHSC Scholarship and Students-to-Service participants.

MUA/P designations are geographic areas, or population groups within geographic areas, that are experiencing a shortage of primary care health care services based on the Index of Medical Underservice. MUAs are designated for the entire population of a particular geographic area. MUP designations are limited to a particular subset of the population within a geographic area. Both designations were created to aid the federal government in identifying areas with healthcare workforce shortages.

As part of HRSA's Bureau of Health Workforce's cooperative agreement with the state primary care offices (PCOs), the state PCOs conduct needs assessments in their states, determine what areas are eligible for designations, and submit designation applications for HRSA review via the Shortage Designation Management System (SDMS). Requests that come from other sources are referred to the PCOs for their review, concurrence, and submission via SDMS. To obtain a federal shortage designation for an area, population, or facility, PCOs must submit a shortage designation application through SDMS for review and approval by HRSA. Both HPSA and MUA/P applications request local, state, and national data on the population that is experiencing a shortage of health professionals and the number of health professionals relative to the population covered by the proposed designation. The information collected on the applications is used to determine which areas, populations, and facilities have qualifying shortages.

In addition, interested parties, including the state's governor, primary care association, and professional associations are notified of each designation request submitted via SDMS for their comments and recommendations.

HRSA reviews the HPSA applications submitted by the state PCOs, and—if they meet the designation eligibility criteria for the type of HPSA or MUA/P the application is for—designates the HPSA or MUA/P on behalf of the Secretary of Health and Human Services. HPSAs are statutorily required to be annually reviewed and revised as necessary after initial designation to reflect current data. HPSA scores, therefore, may and do change from time to time. MUA/Ps do not have a statutorily mandated review period.

The lists of designated HPSAs are published annually in the Federal Register . In addition, lists of HPSAs are updated on the HRSA website ( https://data.hrsa.gov/ ) so that interested parties can access the information.

A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register on May 19, 2025, vol. 90, No. 95; pp. 21318-19. There were 51 public comments. Below is a summary of key themes raised in the comments and HRSA's response:

The public comments HRSA received largely centered around two key themes: (1) the essential role of MUA/P and HPSA designations in supporting community health centers (CHCs), and (2) the administrative burden and data integrity challenges involved in shortage designation processes.

• A total of 36 commenters—including CHCs, state associations, and national organizations emphasized that these designations are critical for funding, workforce recruitment (especially through the NHSC), expansion of services, and addressing broader impacts on health outcomes, such as food and pharmacy deserts. Many stressed that without these designations, CHCs would face severe operational and financial strain, leading to reduced access and worsened disparities. HRSA acknowledged these concerns, reaffirming the importance of these designations, and its recognition of their role in improving health outcomes and supporting safety-net providers.

• Another 12 commenters, especially from State Primary Care Offices, and technical organizations, focused on underestimation of administrative burden and technical challenges with the SDMS system. They highlighted that HRSA's estimated eight-hour workload was unrealistically low, pointing instead to much higher demands for provider updates, data acquisition, and reconciliation. Suggestions included integrating federal datasets ( e.g., Medicaid, CDC, NSDUH), improving SDMS functionality (geocoding, duplicate checks, provider exit tracking), and providing clearer federal guidance. HRSA acknowledged these concerns, agreed that accurate data and system performance are critical, and committed to reviewing burden estimates, pursuing automation and integration of federal datasets, and exploring system enhancements. However, HRSA also noted that certain structural changes ( e.g., adjusting population thresholds or adopting new designation methodologies) would require regulatory action through formal rulemaking.

• Finally, 3 commenters offered more targeted recommendations, such as adopting the ADA Dental Care Geographic Accessibility Dashboard, revising population thresholds, or grandfathering existing designations. HRSA expressed appreciation for these suggestions and noted that while it is open to considering alternatives, such changes would require formal regulatory updates before implementation.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The information obtained from the SDMS applications is used to determine which areas, populations, and facilities have critical shortages of health professionals per PCO application submission. The SDMS HPSA and MUA/P applications are used for these designation determinations. Applicants must have an SDMS application submitted to HRSA to obtain a federal shortage designation. In addition, the application must contain detailed information explaining how the area, population, or facility faces a critical shortage of health professionals.

Likely Respondents: State primary care offices and or site points of contact interested in obtaining a primary care, dental health, or mental health HPSA designation or an MUA/P in their state.

Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized in the table below.

Total Estimated Annualized Burden Hours:

Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information should address one or more of the following four points:

1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a Currently Approved Collection.

2. Title of the Form/Collection: Flight Manifest/Billing Agreement.

3. Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department of Homeland Security sponsoring the collection: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or households. The Flight Manifest/Billing Agreement collects information for the purpose of confirming Space Available passengers on any ICE-chartered flight and to facilitate the effective billing of those passengers for the full coach fare of their seats on the flight.

5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated total number of respondents for the information collection is 250 and the estimated hour burden per response is .25 hours.

6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: 63 annual burden hours.

7. An estimate of the total public burden (in cost) associated with the collection: The estimated total annual cost burden associated with this collection of information is $2,391.

This collection was previously approved with changes on October 31, 2024. In the previous 60-day FRN ICE announced that it amended the Tip Line form with additional drop downs to make it easier for individuals to fill out the form. There was always a separate drop down for Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs), but it led to a free text box to supply the necessary information. With more LEOs providing information, ICE realized it needed more precise information to be able to process the tips provided. Therefore, ICE has added new fields that enables LEOs to provide all of the information needed by ICE without having to worry about remembering to put all that information into a free text field. ICE requested emergency approval of these changes from OMB on December 5, 2025, and received a temporary six-month approval, which expires June 30, 2026, during which time the agency can conduct the normal notice and comment PRA process. This notice is the first step in that process. The information is collected from members of the public and law enforcement partners who provide it using a fill-in-the-blank form available on the ICE.GOV ( https://www.ice.gov/webform/hsi-tip-form ) website. Once completed, the Tip Form is electronically transmitted to the appropriate agency with responsibility for researching the allegation. All other tips are transmitted to Intelligence Research Specialists (IRS) at the Homeland Security Investigations Tip-line unit. IRSs conduct queries in DHS, law enforcement, and immigration databases, analyze the results, write investigative reports, and then refer leads to the DHS office with geographic and programmatic responsibility for the reported allegation. Receiving offices use the information provided to conduct investigations and other enforcement actions in support of DHS goals and objectives. ICE also offers the public the option to speak directly with an IRS to report allegations through a toll-free phone (866-DHS-2-ICE).

You may access the information collection instrument with instructions or additional information by visiting the Federal eRulemaking Portal site at: https://www.regulations.gov and entering ICEB-2019-0010 in the search box. All submissions will be posted, without change, to the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov, and will include any personal information you provide. Therefore, submitting this information makes it public. You may wish to consider limiting the amount of personal information that you provide in any voluntary submission you make. DHS may withhold information provided in comments from public viewing that it determines may impact the privacy of an individual or is offensive. For additional information, please read the Privacy Act notice that is available via the link in the footer of https://www.regulations.gov.

Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information should address one or more of the following four points:

Blue Mountain Energy, Inc. has applied to the BLM for a 2-year coal exploration license on public lands located adjacent to the existing Deserado Coal Mine near Rangely, Colorado. Coal exploration on lands not contained in a Federal coal lease is authorized under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended. This provides the public with a methodology to gain additional geologic information of the coal underlying the exploration area to determine the viability of the coal resources. The BLM regulations at 43 CFR 3410.2 require the publication of an invitation for interested parties to participate in the coal exploration in the Federal Register . The BLM may require a modification to the exploration plan to accommodate the legitimate exploration needs of persons seeking to participate. The proposed exploration area includes the following described lands in Rio Blanco County, Colorado:

Human remains representing, at least, one individual have been identified. The individual was removed from a site listed as 47-WN-0086, Winnebago County, WI, which consists of a small cemetery associated with the Grignon trading post farmstead. The cemetery is known to contain the remains of Lieutenant Robert Grignon, his wife Mary, and her son. Robert Grignon was buried in this plot in 1861. Historical accounts also support that Robert Grignon shared this land with the Menominee so that they could rebury their dead from an endangered traditional cemetery. In 1936, Aurther Kannenberg, curator of the Oshkosh Public Museum, located the Grignon family plot and exhumed three burials identified as Robert Grignon, wife Mary, and Mary's father. Many of the remains appear to have ended up in private collections. In 1993, Mary Schneider donated the collection of her late husband, Dr. Clarence James Schneider, to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh (UWO). At UWO, a small box was found in his collection with the label, “From the Grave of Robert Grignon.” It is likely that Schneider was one of the individuals who stole remains from these burials. While it is not possible to confirm the specific identity of these remains, it is highly likely they belonged to someone in this small cemetery.The two associated funerary objects are one lot of coffin wood with nails and one lot of coffin nails.

Human remains representing, at least, four individuals have been identified. The individuals were removed from the site of Gruwell (47-WN-0130), Winnebago County, WI in the summer of 1969. The landowner discovered Ancestral remains and gave them to the Winneconne Historical Society. The landowner notified James D. Volkman, an archaeologist associated with UWO, and in fall 1969 Volkman visited the site and recovered artifacts from the same location of the burials. A large portion of the artifacts found date to the Late Historic Period (post-1760 CE). In 1972, a field crew led by UWO Assistant Professor Alaric Faulkner also collected artifacts from the surface of the site. UWO was able to relocate the Ancestors removed from the Gruwell site at the Winneconne Historical Society and following Tribal guidance, transferred legal control of the remains to UWO in 2025 to be repatriated with their associated funerary objects. Historical records indicate that in the later part of the 18th century into the early 19th century there was a Menominee village and cemetery on the shores of the Wolf River, where the modern village of Winneconne sits. Euroamerican settlement on the east shore of the river forced Menominee groups to the west shore. By 1850, the west shore consisted of a few Euroamerican houses and an “Indian” cemetery, shortly before the village of Winneconne incorporated the west bank into the village boundaries. The 16 associated funerary objects are two lots of lithics; one lot of faunal bone; two lots of post contact pottery; one lot of bottle glass; one lot of iron nails and fastener; two lots of soil; one stone pipe; one Kaolin pipe; one lot of glass beads; one lot of bronze buttons; one bronze thimble; one lot of silver brooches; and one copper arm band.

Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available about the human remains and associated funerary objects described in this notice.

UWO has determined that:

• The human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of five individuals of Native American ancestry.

• The 18 objects described in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony.

• There is a connection between the human remains and associated funerary objects described in this notice and the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.

Written requests for repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified in this notice under ADDRESSES . Requests for repatriation may be submitted by:

1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice.

The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.

A total of one cultural item has been requested for repatriation. The one unassociated funerary object is a perforated dog tooth removed from Windmiller Mound (CA-SAC-107), Sacramento County, CA. The cultural item was likely removed during excavations at the site by William Purves, Jeremiah B. Lillard, and Sacramento Junior College in 1936. Between 1923 and 1940, Lillard was president of the Sacramento Junior College, now named Sacramento City College, which is one of four campuses in LRCCD. In April 2023, the item was located on the American River College campus, another campus within LRCCD.

LRCCD has determined that:

• The one unassociated funerary object described in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally with or near human remains, and are connected, either at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony of a Native American culture according to the Native American traditional knowledge of a lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization. The unassociated funerary objects have been identified by a preponderance of the evidence as related to human remains, specific individuals, or families, or removed from a specific burial site or burial area of an individual or individuals with cultural affiliation to an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.

• There is a reasonable connection between the cultural item described in this notice and the Ione Band of Miwok Indians of California and the Wilton Rancheria, California.

Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural item in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified in this notice under ADDRESSES .

A total of four cultural items have been requested for repatriation. The four objects of cultural patrimony are one bow with three arrows made by Jack Suehead (Object Numbers 1986.67.318.1-.4). The objects were acquired by the Placer County Museums Division by donation in 1986. Information about how the donor, Bernice Pate, acquired the objects is unknown. Pate's husband, Waldo Pate, was a physician who treated local Indians. He often received baskets as payment for medical services and the couple continued collecting through purchases and gifts. In the 1960s, Bernice Pate served as the executive director of the California Indian Commission. The four objects of cultural patrimony are culturally affiliated with the Southern Maidu (Nisenan) and originated within their aboriginal territory in the vicinity of Placer County. The objects have not been exposed to any potentially hazardous substances while in the possession of the Placer County Museums Division. There is no visible evidence of prior treatment and no information indicating prior treatment.

The Placer County Museums Division has determined that:

• The four objects of cultural patrimony described in this notice have ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group, including any constituent sub-group (such as a band, clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or other subdivision), according to the Native American traditional knowledge of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.

A total of six cultural items have been requested for repatriation. The sacred objects are six baskets. The University is unaware of any specific treatment of the individual sacred objects with pesticides, preservatives, or other substances that represent a potential hazard to the objects or to persons handling the objects. However, records located in the Anthropology Museum indicate that approximately 1/3 of the Merriam collection had been treated with Berlou, a dry mothproofing substance used as an insecticide, in 1964. It is unknown which baskets were treated.

One of the sacred objects originates from Humboldt County—CHM-46 was purchased by Frank J. Hittell near Dyerville in August 1903 and is assumed to have been later gifted to or purchased by C. Hart Merriam. Two of the sacred objects originate from Mendocino County—CHM-97 and CHM-98 were purchased by C. Hart Merriam from Sally Bell at her home near Needle Rock Crossroads in August 1923. Three sacred objects originate from Trinity County—CHM-47, CHM-48, and CHM-49 were purchased by C. Hart Merriam from “an old Indian Woman,” possibly Mrs. Lucy Young near Hettenshaw Valley in June 1922.

UC Davis has determined that:

• The six sacred objects described in this notice have ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group, including any constituent sub-group (such as a band, clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or other subdivision), according to the Native American traditional knowledge of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.

Human remains representing, at least, one individual have been identified. No associated funerary objects are present. In 1968, construction workers uncovered a burial site in Ganesha Park, Pomona, CA. The Los Angeles County coroner determined the remains to be Native American. Following this inadvertent discovery, two professors, Thomas Blackburn of Cal Poly Pomona and John S. Belmont of Pitzer College, Claremont, excavated the site. Later that year, Professor Belmont asked the coroner to release the remains to the Claremont Colleges Museum “in order that all material from this site be brought together in one institution for study.” The following year, Professor Belmont left Pitzer College, and the remains were lost until discovered in a hidden cabinet in the Professor's former office in June of 2025.

Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical location or acquisition history of the human remains described in this notice.

The Claremont Colleges Services has determined that:

• The human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry.

• There is a connection between the human remains described in this notice and the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation ( previously listed as San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, California).

Written requests for repatriation of the human remains in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified in this notice under ADDRESSES . Requests for repatriation may be submitted by:

A total of 30 cultural items in the Phoebe A Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley have been requested for repatriation.

In 1949, Albert Mohr via the University of California Archaeological Survey removed 15 lots of objects of cultural patrimony from the following sites in San Bernardino County, California: CA-SBR-74, CA-SBR-75, CA-SBR-77, CA-SBR-78, CA-SBR-79, and CA-SBR-80. The objects of cultural patrimony include ground stone and worked stone.

A total of 14 objects of cultural patrimony were removed from the Troy Lake area, CA-SBR-146, and CA-SBR-317 in San Bernardino County, California in or around 1965 by Scott Ryerson. The objects of cultural patrimony include worked stone.

Harry Godwin removed one object of cultural patrimony from the Sheep Hole Mountains in San Bernardino County, California in 1948. The object of cultural patrimony is a seed.

Collections and collection spaces at the Phoebe A Hearst Museum of Anthropology were treated with substances for preservation and pest control, some potentially hazardous. No records have been found to date at the Museum to indicate whether or not chemicals or natural substances were used prior to 1960.

The University of California, Berkeley has determined that:

• The 30 lots of objects of cultural patrimony described in this notice have ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group, including any constituent sub-group (such as a band, clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or other subdivision), according to the Native American traditional knowledge of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.

• There is a reasonable connection between the cultural items described in this notice and the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation ( previously listed as San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, California).

Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural items in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified in this notice under ADDRESSES .

Human remains representing at least three individuals have been identified. The one associated funerary object is one bobcat skull. At an unknown date, the remains and associated funerary object were disinterred in Bakersfield, in Kern County, California by an individual who was “digging in the hills” and kept them in his possession. Upon his death, at an unknown date, his family recovered them and released them the Southern California Indian Center (SCIC). On October 29, 2019, SCIC transferred the possession of the remains to California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) for curation and assistance with the NAGPRA process. Since 2019, attempts to uncover more information had been unsuccessful due, in part to the closing of the SCIC. The ancestors were held at CSULB with a note: “Southern California Indian Center—now defunct.” In 2023 the remains were confirmed to be Native American. In June 2025, due to defunct status of the controlling organization, CSULB, with the support of the CSU Chancellor's Office, made the decision to assume control of the remains in good faith to ensure repatriation of the ancestors. There is no record of the human remains or AFO being treated with potentially hazardous substances.

Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical location and acquisition history of the human remains and associated funerary objects described in this notice.

California State University, Long Beach has determined that:

• The human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of three individuals of Native American ancestry.

• The one object described in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony.

• There is a connection between the human remains and associated funerary objects described in this notice and the Tejon Indian Tribe.

Written requests for repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified in this notice under ADDRESSES . Requests for repatriation may be submitted by:

1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice.

2. Any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the requestor is a lineal descendant or an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization with cultural affiliation.

Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects described in this notice to a requestor may occur on or after January 16, 2026. If competing requests for repatriation are received, California State University, Long Beach must determine the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation.

Human remains representing, at least, one individual have been identified. The seven associated funerary objects are historic medicine bundles. In 1996, this individual and their associated funerary objects were transferred from Gordon Yellowman, then-NAGPRA Coordinator for the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma (hereafter “the Tribes”), to SNOMNH representatives at the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office in Oklahoma City, OK. This transfer was documented as an “indefinite NAGPRA loan”. The only additional documentation on this individual is that they came from Blaine County, Oklahoma (Blaine County is within the area of the old reservation of the Tribes). NAGPRA representatives from the Tribes reviewed the bundles and identified them as being in the style of the Tribes and sacred in nature.

To our knowledge, no potentially hazardous substances were used to treat any of the human remains or associated funerary objects.

Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available about the human remains and associated funerary objects described in this notice.

Human remains representing at least one individual have been identified on the campus of Western Kentucky University. No associated funerary objects are present.

One Ancestor was identified in the summer of 2025 by a faculty member of the Department of Society, Culture, Crime, and Justice Studies, on the first floor of a building on campus.

While sorting through a filing cabinet, one human skull was identified in the back of a filing cabinet, tucked behind a row of documents. These documents were various archaeological essays and reports. The remains are described as still having a layer of dirt covering the surface.

There is no further provenience information for this individual, however due to the context information it is more than likely that the Ancestor is from the area. This is further supported by the fact that there was an active archaeologist who used to operate out of the building, and who excavated nearly exclusively within the state of Kentucky.

There is no known exposure to hazardous substances.

Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical location of the human remains described in this notice.

Western Kentucky University has determined that:

• The human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry.

• There is a connection between the human remains described in this notice and the Cherokee Nation; Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians; The Chickasaw Nation; and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma.

Written requests for repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified in this notice under ADDRESSES . Requests for repatriation may be submitted by:

1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice.

2. Any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the requestor is a lineal descendant or an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization with cultural affiliation.

Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects described in this notice to a requestor may occur on or after January 16, 2026. If competing requests for repatriation are received, Western Kentucky University must determine the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects are considered a single request and not competing requests.

A total of eight cultural items have been requested for repatriation. The eight scared objects are one medicine bundle with herbs, one medicine tube, two medicine roots, and four prayer reeds. The eight sacred objects are: AC. 8234, a medicine bundle, collected by Howard B. Roloff in 1965 from an unknown medicine man at Brighton Reservation. The bundle is made of wool and cloth. The medicine bundle contains seven different herbs used in the “Black Drought”[sic] for purification rites in the Green Corn Dance. The same packet of herbs is usually used twice or even four times, and only at the time of the Green Corn Dance. AC.8235, a medicine tube, collected by Howard B. Roloff in 1965 from Ada Tommie at the Hollywood Reservation, Florida. The medicine tube is made of reeds. The bundle was donated to DMNS by Mary Crane on 27 May 1983. AC.8236, medicinal root, collected by Howard B. Roloff in 1965 from the Seminole in Florida. The root was donated to DMNS by Mary Crane on 27 May 1983. The root was used to treat wounds and carbuncles by an unknow medicine man from Immokalee, Florida. AC.8237, medicinal roots, collected by Howard B. Roloff in 1965 from a medicine woman, Ada Tommie, from the Hollywood Reservation. The roots are tied with blue cloth and are used to treat high blood pressure. The same roots are also found in medicine bundles. The roots were donated to DMNS by Mary Crane on 27 May 1983. AC.8396A-D, four prayer reeds, collected by Howard B. Roloff from Josie Billie in 1966. Bamboo reeds bored out and tied with red cloth in three places made by Josie Billie, the biggest medicine man at Big Cypress. AC. 8234, AC.8235.

This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA. The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of Turtle Bay Exploration Park, and additional information on the determinations in this notice, including the results of consultation, can be found in the summary or related records. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.

A total of 100 cultural items have been requested for repatriation. The 100 objects of cultural patrimony are 47 stone and mineral tools and fragments, 20 bone and antler tools and fragments (including bone fishing implements), 16 lots of animal remains including bones, five lots of stone net weights, four stone bowl fragments, three lots of vegetal remains, three baskets, one lot of bolas, and one steatite oil dish. These belongings have been identified as Wiyot in origin based on archaeological provenience or associated documentation. Most are from Tuluwat Island in Humboldt County, California. The Wiyot have lived on the island and lands surrounding Humboldt Bay since time immemorial.

The Redding Museum League raised funds for the Redding Museum and Art Center (RMAC), now Turtle Bay Exploration Park, to purchase a steatite oil dish and six bolas from the Alice Dunaway collection through Fred Casebeer in 1971. Dunaway, a renowned basket collector from Happy Camp, CA, also collected other items, most of which reflect her Karuk heritage. These items, however, are documented in museum records as Wiyot.

In 1972, the RMAC purchased a framed collection of bone fishing implements from Troy Crisp excavated from Gunther (now Tuluwat) Island in 1962. Crisp, a Texas-born collector, lived briefly in Oregon and Northern California. He acquired a large collection of Native American and Indigenous Mexican Belongings over his lifetime through hobby field collecting and trading with other collectors. He primarily added to his collection through his business operating heavy equipment to clear brush land. Given that he did not move to California until 1965, it is possible that the fishing implements were collected during a prior visit.

In 1974, RMAC purchased a basalt maul attributed to the Wiyot from Geddes Harper of Eureka, CA. It was accessioned the same year.

Under League President Mary Lou Lane, the Redding Museum League raised funds for the purchase of an open weave fish or sieve type basket of unpeeled willow and conifer root. It was accessioned in 1976. It is attributed to Wiyot, dated c.1930, and in excellent condition.

In 1977, James “Jim” Dotta donated a sizable collection of archaeological materials to RMAC. In addition, a steatite bowl fragment was donated in 1983 from his estate after his passing. Jim Dotta was a local instructor at Shasta Community College in Redding, CA, a professional archaeologist, and heavily involved in the Redding Museum and Art Center. He was also an avid collector of books, historical objects, artworks, and Indigenous Belongings.

His 1977 donation accounts for eighty-six (86) of the items in this Notice. They include stone and mineral tools and fragments, like scrapers, projectile points, and net weights, as well as bone and antler tools and fragments such as awls, wedges, and fishing barbs. The animal remains include fish scales and bones, bird beaks and bones, animal teeth, horns, bones, and a baculum. Vegetal remains include corn cobs, rinds, and squash stems. There are also steatite and sandstone stone bowl fragments.

According to museum records, these items were excavated by Dotta on Tuluwat Island. While they share a site number, there is no archaeological report on file at this museum. There is no indication these items are from a burial context. Mr. Dotta was generally careful in noting the presence or absence of burials in relation to artifacts.

In 1982, RMAC purchased two Wiyot baskets from the Clarke Museum in Eureka, CA which deaccessioned a portion of its Native American basketry to other nonprofit institutions in accordance with its bylaws. These include a twined willow spoon basket (c.1880) and a twined flour tray (c.1900) made of bear grass, pine root, and hazel shoots.

Turtle Bay Exploration Park does not treat Indigenous belongings with hazardous materials. However, the documentation does not reflect whether these items received treatment prior to the care of the Redding Museum and Art Center.

Turtle Bay Exploration Park has determined that:

• The 100 objects of cultural patrimony described in this notice have ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group, including any constituent sub-group (such as a band, clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or other subdivision), according to the Native American traditional knowledge of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.

• There is a reasonable connection between the cultural items described in this notice and the Wiyot Tribe, California.

Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural items in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified in this notice under ADDRESSES . Requests for repatriation may be submitted by any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the requestor is a lineal descendant or a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.

Human remains representing, at least, one individual have been identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The individual (MT12-209) may have been removed from the Glover Farm, also referred to as the Glover Site, in Christian County, Kentucky, by Raymond C. Vietzen (1907-1995), likely between approximately 1941 and the mid-1960s. While there is no record regarding potentially hazardous substances having been used to treat the human remains, an unidentified adhesive is present. It is unknown when the adhesive was applied.

Human remains representing, at least, one individual have been identified. No associated funerary objects are present. The individual (KY-CH-TIN-0004, V-MAN-0172) may have been removed from stone graves on the Glover Farm, also referred to as the Glover Site, in Christian County, Kentucky, by Raymond C. Vietzen (1907-1995), likely between approximately 1941 and the mid-1960s. While there is no record regarding potentially hazardous substances having been used to treat the human remains, an unidentified adhesive, and an unidentified plaster or similar type of substance are present. It is unknown when the adhesive and substance were applied. The human remains may have been treated with an unidentified preservative coating, consolidant, or sealant. It is unknown when this unidentified substance may have been applied.

Vietzen, an avocational archaeologist, collector, and author, established the Indian Ridge Museum in Elyria, Ohio, and the Archaeological Society of Ohio (formerly the Ohio Indian Relic Collectors Society). The Indian Ridge Museum, founded in the 1930s, served as Vietzen's laboratory and repository, and it remained in operation until the mid-1990s. After Vietzen's death, the facility fell into disrepair, and most of the items he had acquired and housed at the museum were sold. In 1998, the Ohio Historical Society (presently the Ohio History Connection) removed ancestral human remains and some of the remaining items from the facility and temporarily housed them at the Ohio Historical Society. In October of 2003, these remains were transferred from the Ohio Historical Society to Mercyhurst College (presently Mercyhurst University).

Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical location or acquisition history of the human remains described in this notice.

A total of 753 cultural items have been requested for repatriation. All 753 cultural items have been identified and requested as objects of cultural patrimony by the Tribe.

A total of 371 items identified as objects of cultural patrimony by the Tribe includes groundstone tools, hammerstones, flaked stone tools, pottery fragments, fire affected rock fragment, unmodified faunal bone fragment, soil samples and lithic debitage. The items are associated with sites CA-LAN-166 and CA-LAN-518. The surface collection and test excavations that resulted in collection of these items occurred in the spring of 1973 under the direction of Hal Eberhardt assisted by Warren Wasson. Eberhardt was a professor at Cal State LA and brought the collection to campus. Analysis was completed and an article describing the artifacts was published in 1978 in the Pacific Coast Archaeological Society Quarterly (Volume 14, Issue 2). No known hazardous substances were utilized to treat the items.

A total of 37 items identified as objects of cultural patrimony by the Tribe includes groundstone tools, flaked stone tools and lithic debitage. The items are associated with site CA-LAN-173. These items appear to be from a surface collection conducted by Hal Eberhardt when he was faculty at Cal State LA in the early 1970s. No known hazardous substances were utilized to treat these items.

A total of 10 items identified as objects of cultural patrimony by the Tribe includes groundstone tools, flaked stone tools and rock fragments. The items are associated with sites CA-LAN-75 and CA-LAN-338. It is unclear exactly how these items came to campus. Not sure. An archaeological site record was filled out by Hal Eberhardt in 1951 when he was faculty at Cal State LA, so it is assumed that Eberhardt brought these 10 items to Cal State LA sometime during the 1950s-1970s. No documentation has been found on how these items were collected. The small size and type of collection (10 items) suggest they were surface collected and not from excavations. No known hazardous substances were utilized to treat the items.

A total of 335 items identified as objects of cultural patrimony by the Tribe includes groundstone tools, hammerstones, cores, flaked stone tools, unmodified faunal bone, wood ( 14 C sample), and lithic debitage. The items are associated with site CA-LAN-399. Excavations were conducted by Hal Eberhardt between April 1966 and June 1967 on the Glendora property of Mr. and Mrs. Sassone. A report for this excavation authored by Hal Eberhardt and Warren Wasson and titled The Sassone Site (Lan-339): A Milling Stone Horizon Station in the San Gabriel Valley, California Report indicates that that items were retained by the landowners with “a small type selection” being left with the Department of Anthropology, Cal State LA. This “type selection” are the items described here. No known hazardous substances were utilized to treat the items.

California State University, Los Angeles has determined that:

• The 753 items identified and characterized by the tribe as objects of cultural patrimony described in this notice have ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group, including any constituent sub-group (such as a band, clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or other subdivision), according to the Native American traditional knowledge of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.

• There is a connection between the cultural items described in this notice and the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation ( previously listed as San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, California).

Human remains representing, at least, 100 individuals have been identified. The four lots of associated funerary objects are one lot of ceramic sherds, one lot of fauna and shell, one lot of lithics, and one lot of objects placed with or near human remains. These individuals and objects were recovered from the Carrigan or Gigen's Cemetery site (40MT33) in Montgomery County, TN, by Paul Eden and H.C. “Buddy” Brehm with Southeastern Indian Antiquities Survey (SIAS) in September 1974. This site dates to the Mississippian Period, ~1000-1450 CE. These individuals and objects were transferred to UTK in 1975 for examination and retained.

Human remains representing, at least, one individual has been identified. The two lots of associated funerary objects are two lots of objects placed with or near human remains. This individual and objects were recovered from Coleman Cave (40MT16) in Montgomery County, TN. One individual and one lot of objects were discovered at UTK as part of the McIlhaney Collection in July 2024. The circumstances of recovery and what brought this individual and objects to UTK are currently unknown. The second lot of objects were donated by an unknown caver to the Cave Archaeology Reasearch Team project directed by Jan Simek at UTK likely in the 1990s. This cave site dates from the Archaic to Mississippian periods.

Human remains representing, at least, one individual has been identified. No associated funerary objects are present. This individual was recovered by the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office from an unknown location in Montgomery County and sent to the UTK Forensic Anthropology Center (FAC) in August of 1983 for examination. After FAC staff determined that the individual was Native American, and not of medicolegal concern, they were retained by the FAC as case 83-18. They remained at the FAC until they were recently transferred to the UTK Office of Repatriation.

To our knowledge, no potentially hazardous substances have been used to treat any of the Ancestral remains or associated funerary objects.

Ancestral remains representing, at least, two individuals have been identified. On an unknown date prior to 1951, the Ancestors were removed from an unspecified location on the shore of Lake Champlain west of Orwell Village in Vermont. W.A. Dewey donated the Ancestral remains to the U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology (UMMAA). The year of acquisition is uncertain, but the sequence of UMMAA's accession records may suggest the donation was made in the 1920s. No time period has been determined for the burial. There are no associated funerary objects present. Although early records indicated the presence of animal bone fragments, no animal bone fragments have been located among the UMMAA's holdings, and it is believed that this may have been a mis-notation of Ancestral remains. Consultation occurred with representatives of the Stockbridge Munsee Community, Wisconsin; as well as the W8banaki First Nation of Wôlinak and Odanak, Canada.
