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
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed from the
Moccasin Bluff site (20BE08) in Berrien
County, MI.
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 University of
Michigan Museum of Anthropological
Archaeology (UMMAA) professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of the Citizen
Potawatomi Nation, Oklahoma; Forest
County Potawatomi Community,
Wisconsin; Hannahville Indian
Community, Michigan; Match-e-benash-she-wish Band of Pottawatomi
Indians of Michigan; Miami Tribe of
Oklahoma; Nottawaseppi Huron Band of
the Potawatomi, Michigan (previously
listed as Huron Potawatomi, Inc.);
Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians,
Michigan and Indiana; and the Prairie
Band Potawatomi Nation (previously
listed as Prairie Band of Potawatomi
Nation, Kansas) (hereafter referred to as
‘‘The Tribes’’).

History and Description of the Remains
In 1948, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from the Moccasin Bluff site
(20BE08) in Berrien County, MI, by
UMMAA archeologist Hale Smith.
Smith uncovered three burials while
excavating a trench at the multicomponent site. All the individuals
were found buried in an extended
position and oriented in the same
direction. According to a publication,

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001

Smith identified three burials at the site,
but he presumably only excavated one
of the burials, which he then brought to
the Museum. The date range for this
burial is A.D. 1400–1820, based on the
extended burial treatment, with
individuals facing the same direction,
and the associated funerary objects. All
the human remains listed in this notice
were excavated by Smith in 1948. The
associated funerary objects came from
excavations by Smith in 1948; Joseph
Birdsell, who excavated the site in 1938,
and donated some of the funerary
objects he recovered to the UMMAA in
1947; and Arthur Jelinek, who
excavated the site in 1961. The human
remains are of one child ≤13 years old,
of indeterminate sex. No known
individual was identified. The nine
associated funerary objects are one lot of
earthenware vessel sections; four lots of
earthenware body sherds; one lot of
lithic flakes; one lot of earthenware
body sherds and small sherd crumb; one
lot of lithics, ceramic sherds, and
unworked faunal bone fragments; and
one lot of reconstructed sections of an
earthenware vessel including rim and
body sherds.
The human remains have been
determined to be Native American
based on mortuary treatment, diagnostic
artifacts, and archeological context. A
relationship of shared group identity
can be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains from
this site and the Potawatomi and Miami,
based on archeological and historical
records that indicate both Tribes had a
predominant presence in the St. Joseph
River Valley from the time of first
contact with the French through the
early-1800s. Both Tribes were known to
have had close and friendly relations in
this area. In the early-1800s, the
Potawatomi leader Moccasin presided
over a village in the immediate vicinity
of the site (in present-day Buchanan,
MI) on a bluff that now bears his name.
Determinations Made by the University
of Michigan
Officials of the University of Michigan
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the nine 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 Tribes.
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 Dr. Ben Secunda,
NAGPRA Project Manager, University of
Michigan, Office of Research, 3003
South State Street, First Floor,
Wolverine Tower, Ann Arbor, MI
48109–1274, telephone (734) 764–1185,
email [email protected], by
November 14, 2022. After that date, if
no additional requestors have come
forward, transfer of control of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects to The Tribes may proceed.
The University of Michigan is
responsible for notifying The Tribes that
this notice has been published.
Dated: October 5, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title of Collection: ‘‘Leasing of Sulfur
or Oil and Gas in the Outer Continental
Shelf.’’
Abstract: This ICR concerns the
paperwork requirements in 30 CFR parts
550, 556, and 560. This ICR also
concerns the use of forms to process
bonds, transfer interest in leases, and
file relinquishments.
The Outer Continental Shelf Lands
Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1331 et
seq.), authorizes the Secretary of the
Interior to prescribe rules and
regulations to administer leasing of the
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and all
operations conducted under a lease.
Operations on the OCS must develop oil
and natural gas resources in a manner
that is consistent with the need to make
such resources available to meet the
Nation’s energy needs; balance orderly
energy resource development with
protection of human, marine, and
coastal environments; ensure the public
a fair return on the resources of the
OCS; and preserve and maintain free
enterprise competition. Also, the Energy
Policy and Conservation Act of 1975
prohibits certain lease bidding
arrangements (42 U.S.C. 6213(a)).
OMB Control Number: 1010–0006.
Form Number:
• BOEM–0150, ‘‘Assignment of
Record Title Interest in Federal OCS Oil
and Gas Lease’’;
• BOEM–0151, ‘‘Assignment of
Operating Rights Interest in Federal
OCS Oil and Gas Lease’’;
• BOEM–0152, ‘‘Relinquishment of
Federal OCS Oil and Gas Lease’’;
• BOEM–2028, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Mineral Lessee’s or
Operator’s Bond’’;

• BOEM–2028A, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Mineral Lessee’s or
Operator’s Supplemental Bond’’; and
• BOEM–2030, ‘‘Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Pipeline Right-of-Way Grant
Bond’’.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Federal
oil, gas, or sulfur lessees and operators;
right-of-way grant holders.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 21,826 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 21,935 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory
or required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion
or annual.
Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour
Burden Cost: $766,053.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect
the burden estimate for the renewal will
be 21,935 hours with 21,826 responses,
which reflects an increase of 2,881
hours and 11,628 responses. One hour
of the increase accounts for Alaska’s
surety bond submission (30 CFR
550.1011), which was not previously
included in the annual burden hours.
The remaining increase of 2,880 annual
burden hours accounts for submissions
of documents under 30 CFR 556.715
and 556.808. Under the current 1010–
0006, BOEM accounted for the burden
hours to file the requisite fees under 30
CFR 556.715 and 556.808 but did not
account for the burden hours to submit
the requisite documents.
The following table details the
individual components and respective
burden hour estimates of this ICR.

proposed ICR was published on May 24,
2022 (87 FR 31576). BOEM did not
receive any comments during the 60-day
comment period.
BOEM is again soliciting comments
on the proposed ICR. BOEM is
especially interested in public
comments addressing the following
issues: (1) is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of BOEM; (2) what
can BOEM do to ensure that this
information is processed and used in a
timely manner; (3) is the burden
estimate accurate; (4) how might BOEM
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(5) how might BOEM minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including minimizing the
burden through the use of information
technology?
Comments submitted in response to
this notice are a matter of public record
and will be available for public review
on www.reginfo.gov. You should be
aware that your entire comment—
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personally
identifiable information included in
your comment—may be made publicly
available. Even if BOEM withholds your
information in the context of this ICR,
your comment is subject to the Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA). If your
comment is requested under the FOIA,
your information will only be withheld
if BOEM determines that a FOIA
exemption to disclosure applies. BOEM
will make such a determination in
accordance with the Department of the
Interior’s (DOI) FOIA regulations and
applicable law.
In order for BOEM to consider
withholding from disclosure your
personally identifiable information, you
must identify, in a cover letter, any
information contained in your
comments that, if released, would
constitute a clearly unwarranted

invasion of your personal privacy. You
must also briefly describe any possible
harmful consequence of the disclosure
of information, such as embarrassment,
injury, or other harm.
Note that BOEM will make available
for public inspection all comments on
www.reginfo.gov, in their entirety,
submitted by organizations and
businesses or by individuals identifying
themselves as representatives of
organizations or businesses.
BOEM protects proprietary
information in accordance with FOIA (5
U.S.C. 552), DOI’s implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2), and 30 CFR
parts 550 and 552 promulgated pursuant
to the Outer Continental Shelf Lands
Act (43 U.S.C. 1352(c)).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control
number.
The authority for this action is the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
