The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), enacted in 1990, requires museums to compile certain information (summaries, inventories, and notification) regarding Native American cultural items in their possession or control and provide that information to lineal descendants and culturally affiliated Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations. NAGPRA also requires museums to provide the Secretary of the Interior with a copy of the notification. Regulations promulgated in 1995 require that each museum also provide one copy of each summary and inventory to the Secretary through the National Park Service (NPS). To date, 1,202 museums have provided a summary, inventory, and/or notice to the NPS. The collection of information requirements in this rule are prepared under the authorities granted in Sections 5,6,7, and 8 of NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003,3004,3005 and 3006. Collection of information during the conduct of administrative investigations of allegations of failure to comply under Section 9 of NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3007, is exempt from the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3518 (c)(1)(B)(ii)).
US Code:
25 USC 3001-3006
Name of Law: The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990
The OMB approved the Final Rule for the Native American Graves Protection
and Repatriation Act RegulationsÂDisposition of Culturally Unidentifiable
Human Remains on March 15, 2010 Volume 75, 12378. The information collection control number 1024-0260 was assigned for this final rule.
There is a program change for 1024-0144 that increases the burden because the information collections from #1024-0260 are now consolidated into the approval with control number #1024-0144, which covers the existing NAGPRA program regulations. The Final rule, as published, already says that the information collection in the rule is covered by #1024-0144. The information collection 1024-0260 will be discontinued once OMB approves this information collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
