Abstract: Information collection
requirements associated with the
administrative processes used to
administer Service financial assistance
programs are currently approved under
four different OMB control numbers:
• 1018–0100, ‘‘Migratory Birds and
Wetlands Conservation Grant Programs,
50 CFR 17 and 23’’;
• 1018–0109, ‘‘Wildlife and Sport
Fish Restoration Grants and Cooperative
Agreements, 50 CFR 80, 81, 84, 85, and
86’’;
• 1018–0123, ‘‘International
Conservation Grant Programs’’; and
• 1018–0154, ‘‘Wolf-Livestock
Demonstration Project Grant Program.’’
In this revision, we are consolidating
all of the information collection
requirements associated with the four
OMB Control Numbers identified above
into one control number, OMB Control
No. 1018–0100, with a new title to more
accurately reflect the purpose of the
consolidated collection of information.
Consolidation of OMB approvals into a
single collection reduces burden on the
public by ensuring consistency in the
application and award administration
processes across all Service financial
assistance programs. If OMB approves
this request, we will discontinue OMB
Control Numbers 1018–0109, 1018–
0123, and 1018–0154.
We issue financial assistance through
grants and cooperative agreement
awards to individuals; commercial
organizations; institutions of higher
education; non-profit organizations;
foreign entities; and State, local, and
Tribal governments. The Service
administers a wide variety of financial
assistance programs, authorized by
Congress to address the Service’s
mission, as listed in the Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA).
The CFDA is a government-wide
compendium of Federal programs,
projects, services, and activities that
provide assistance or benefits to the
American public. It contains financial
and non-financial assistance programs

Jkt 244001

administered by departments and
establishments of the Federal
government. The CFDA listing includes
program types and numbers, the specific
type of assistance for each program, and
includes the applicable authorities for
each program within the description. A
list of currently authorized Service
financial assistance programs can be
found at https://www.cfda.gov/
?s=agency&mode=form&
tab=program&id=000710afb4d72c15f9fc
20a83f7319d0. The Service currently
manages the following types of
assistance as categorized by the CFDA:
• Formula Grants
• Project Grants
• Project Grants (Discretionary)
• Cooperative Agreements
(Discretionary Grants)
• Direct Payments with Unrestricted
Use
• Use of Property, Facilities, and
Equipment
• Provision of Specialized Services
• Advisory Services and Counseling
• Dissemination of Technical
Information
• Training
Some assistance programs are
mandatory and funds are awarded to
eligible recipients according to a
formula set by law or policy. Other
programs are discretionary and award
funds based on competitive selection
and merit review processes. Mandatory
grant recipients must give us specific,
detailed project information during the
application process so that we may
ensure that projects are eligible for the
mandatory funding, are substantial in
character and design, and comply with
all applicable Federal laws.
Discretionary grant applicants must give
us information as dictated by the
program requirements and as requested
in the notice of funding opportunity
(NOFO), including that information that
addresses ranking criteria. All recipients
must submit financial and performance
reports that contain information
necessary for us to track costs and
accomplishments. The recipients’
reports must adhere to schedules and
rules in 2 CFR part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards, which was effective as
of December 26, 2014. Part 200
prescribes the information that Federal
agencies must collect, and financial
assistance recipients must provide, and
also supports this information
collection.
The Service uses the grant process to
provide technical and financial
assistance to other Federal agencies,
States, local governments, Native

American tribes, non-governmental
organizations, citizen groups, and
private landowners, for the conservation
and management of fish and wildlife
resources. The process begins with the
submission of an application. The
respective program reviews and
prioritizes proposed projects based on
their respective project selection
criteria. Pending availability of funding,
applicants can submit their application
documents to the Service through the
Federal Grants.gov website, when
solicited by the Service through a
NOFO.
As part of this collection of

the highest return on the Federal
investment; and (4) assist in compliance
with laws, as applicable, such as the
National Environmental Policy Act, the
National Historic Preservation Act, and
the Uniform Relocation Assistance and
Real Property Acquisition Policies Act
of 1970. The full application package
(submitted by the applicant) generally
include the following:
• Required Federal financial
assistance application forms (SF–424
suite of forms, as applicable to specified
project).

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. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by SARC and Omaha
District professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort
Berthold Reservation, North Dakota.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1962, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from site 39LM0002 in Lyman
County, SD, by W.W. Caldwell and R.T.
Carter, archeologists from the
Smithsonian Institution, as part of the
Smithsonian Institution River Basin
Surveys project. Most of the human
remains from this excavation were sent
to the Smithsonian Institution
immediately after removal, where they
are still housed. Other site materials,
including faunal remains, were housed
at Nebraska State Historical Society and
later loaned to researcher Carl Falk. In
1989, the faunal remains at Nebraska
State Historical Society were returned to
SARC. In 1994, Carl Falk returned the
loaned faunal collection to SARC, and at
that time, human remains were
discovered in the faunal collection. The
human remains are a single human
talus. No known individual was
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Site 39LM0002, Medicine Creek
Village, is a multicomponent village site
on the left bank of the Missouri river
near the confluence with Medicine
Creek. The human remains were
collected from a burial within a midden.
The rectangular earthlodge located
under the midden is associated with the
Initial Middle Missouri variant (A.D.
900–1350). Based on the earthlodge, as
well as collected ceramic types, site
features, and the house floor plans, the
human remains are determined to be
Native American from the Initial Middle
Missouri variant, which is ancestral to
the Mandan. The Mandan are
represented today by the Three
Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold
Reservation, North Dakota.
In approximately 1956, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from site
39WW0001, in Walworth County, SD,
during a salvage archeological project to
mitigate sites that would be lost to the
Oahe Dam inundation. This project was
