SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is
seeking renewal of the approval for the
information collection conducted under
25 CFR 11.600(c) and 11.606(c). This
information collection allows the Clerk
of the Court of Indian Offenses to collect
personal information necessary for a
Court of Indian Offenses to issue a
marriage license or dissolve a marriage.
Courts of Indian Offenses have been
established on certain Indian
reservations under the authority vested
in the Secretary of the Interior by 5
U.S.C. 301 and 25 U.S.C. 2, 9, and 13,
which authorize appropriations for
‘‘Indian judges.’’ The courts provide for
the administration of justice for Indian
tribes in those areas where the tribes
retain jurisdiction over Indians,
exclusive of State jurisdiction, but
where tribal courts have not been
established to exercise that jurisdiction
and the tribes has, by resolution or
constitutional amendment, chosen to
use the Court of Indian Offenses.
Accordingly, Courts of Indian Offenses
exercise jurisdiction under 25 CFR 11.
Domestic relations are governed by 25
CFR 11.600, which authorizes the Court
of Indian Offenses to conduct and
dissolve marriages. In order to obtain a
marriage licenses in a Court of Indian
Offenses, applicants must provide the
six items of information listed in 25 CFR
11.600(c), including identifying
information, such a Social Security
number, information on previous
marriage, relationship to the other
applicant, and a certificate of the results
of any medical examination required by
applicable tribal ordinances or the laws
of the State in which the Indian country
under the jurisdiction of the Court of
Indian Offenses is located. To dissolve
a marriage, applicants must provide the
six items of information listed in 25 CFR
11.606(c), including information on
occupation and residency (to establish
jurisdiction), information on whether
the parties have lives apart for at least
180 days or if there is serious marital
discord warranting dissolution, and
information on the children of the

marriage and whether the wife is
pregnant (for the court to determine the
appropriate level of support that may be
required from the non-custodial parent).
(25 CFR 11.601) Two forms are used as
part of this information collection, the
Marriage License Application and the
Dissolution of Marriage Application.
II. Request for Comments
On February 9, 2015, BIA published
a notice announcing the renewal of this
information collection and provided a
60-day comment period in the Federal
Register (80 FR 7029). There were no
comments received in response to this
notice.
The BIA requests your comments on
this collection concerning: (a) The
necessity of this information collection
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden (hours
and cost) of the collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Ways we could enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Ways we could
minimize the burden of the collection of
the information on the respondents.
Please note that an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid
OMB Control Number.
It is our policy to make all comments
available to the public for review at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the
U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau
of Indian Affairs and in the physical
custody of the Burke Museum. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from Clallam
County, WA.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the U.S.
Department of the Interior, Bureau of
Indian Affairs and the Burke Museum
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Makah Indian
Tribe of the Makah Indian Reservation.
History and Description of the Remains
In September 1963, human remains
representing, at minimum, five
individuals were removed from site 45–
CA–26 on the Pacific Ocean Beach near
Neah Bay adjacent to Makah Bay,
Clallam County, WA. The site (45–CA–
26) is located within the current
boundaries of the Makah Indian
Reservation. In or about September
1963, Robert E. Greengo of the Thomas
Burke Memorial Washington State
Museum was directed to the site by Mrs.
Otis Baxter who advised that the wind
had been blowing material out of the cut
bank. Dr. Greengo found exposed
human bones and other items that had
been disturbed by the action of the surf
and/or wind. Dr. Greengo returned in
October 1963, in the company of Mr.
and Mrs. Otis Baxter and collected
bones and objects from the location that
turned out to be site 45–CA–26. The
collection has been housed at the Burke

PO 00000

Frm 00076

Museum since 1963. No known
individuals were identified. The two
associated funerary objects are an elk
bone and a small bag of sand and
crushed bone.
Geographic, historic, and
anthropological evidence indicates that
the human remains are Native
American. The site (45–CA–26) is a
shell midden site located within the
current boundaries of the Makah Indian
Reservation. Burial of human remains in
or near shell middens is consistent with
Native American burial practices in the
Pacific Northwest. This area was
historically and prehistorically
occupied by the Makah people for at
least the past 4,000 years.
Determinations Made by the Bureau of
Indian Affairs and the Burke Museum
Officials of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs and the Burke Museum have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of five
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the two objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
and the Makah Indian Tribe of the
Makah Indian Reservation.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains and associated
funerary objects should submit a written
request with information in support of
the request to Anna Pardo, Museum
Program Manager/NAGPRA
Coordinator, U.S. Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, 12220
Sunrise Valley Drive, Room 6084,
Reston, VA 20191, telephone (703) 390–
6343, email [email protected], by
May 28, 2015. After that date, if no
additional requestors have come
forward, transfer of control of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects to the Makah Indian Tribe of the
Makah Indian Reservation may proceed.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs is
responsible for notifying the Makah
Indian Tribe of the Makah Indian
Reservation that this notice has been
published.
