documentation. In most cases, SAVE
provides an automated electronic
response to benefit-granting agencies
within seconds, but, occasionally,
verification can be delayed. You can
check the status of your SAVE
verification by using CaseCheck at
save.uscis.gov/casecheck/. CaseCheck is
a free service that lets you follow the
progress of your SAVE verification case
using your date of birth and one
immigration identifier number (Anumber, USCIS number or Form I–94
number) or Verification Case Number. If
an agency has denied your application
based solely or in part on a SAVE
response, the agency must offer you the
opportunity to appeal the decision in
accordance with the agency’s
procedures. If the agency has received
and acted upon or will act upon a SAVE
verification and you do not believe the
SAVE response is correct, the SAVE
website, www.uscis.gov/save, has
detailed information on how to make
corrections or update your immigration
record, make an appointment, or submit
a written request to correct records.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), we
provide the general public and other
federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the

public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice (86 FR

response to that notice.

public comment addressing the

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be

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 response.
Comments that you submit in

Fund Management Reform Act of 1994
(the Reform Act) makes provisions for

the Bureau of Trust Funds
Administration (formerly known as the
Office of the Special Trustee for
American Indians) to administer trust
fund accounts for individuals and
Tribes. This collection of information is
required to fulfill the mission of the
Bureau of Trust Funds Administration
(BTFA) and the Secretary of the
Interior’s responsibility for evaluating
all Public Law 93–638 Compact Tribes
administering or managing trust
programs, functions, services, and/or
activities on behalf of the Secretary of
the Interior. This responsibility is
federally mandated pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 458cc(d) and 25 CFR 1000.350.
BTFA is responsible under 25 U.S.C.
4041 for overseeing the implementation
of trust reforms, trust accounting, and
coordination of trust policies intrabureau-wide related to the management
of Indian trust funds and assets. The
BTFA, Division of Trust Evaluation and
Review (DTER), formerly the Office of
Trust Audit and Review (OTRA), is
responsible for performing tribal trust
evaluations and trust records
assessments for Tribes performing
Indian trust programs and functions. In
addition, DTER has a congressional
mandate to conduct Annual Tribal Trust
Evaluations for Tribes that compact
trust programs, functions, services, and/
or activities under Public Law 93–638
Self-Governance Compacts on behalf of
the Secretary of the Interior. This
authority is contained in 25 U.S.C.
5363(d)(1) & (2) and the enabling
regulations in 25 CFR 1000.350. DTER
currently collects Indian trust data and
documentation from Tribes in
fulfillment of performing Tribal trust
evaluations for compacted Tribes. These
evaluations are enabled by performing
desk reviews (via email electronic
questionnaires), and on-site visits to
Tribes and federal agencies for the trust
records assessments (although federal
agencies are exempt from the provisions
of the PRA).
Under 25 CFR 1000.355, the
Secretary’s designated representative
will conduct trust evaluations for each
self-governance Tribe that has an annual
funding agreement. The end result is the
issuance of a report, which is required
by 25 CFR 1000.365. Currently, DTER
conducts either desk reviews and/or onsite reviews (pre- and post-COVID–19
pandemic) of trust operations where a
Tribe has compacted a trust program.
During that review, under current
methodology, interviews are conducted
and documents are requested. A draft
report is written and provided to the
Tribe for comment where applicable.
Comments received back are

History and Description of the Remains
In 1948, human remains representing
at minimum, one individual were
removed from the Chernofski site on
Unalaska Island, Eastern Aleutian
Islands, AK. The work was done as part
of the Harvard Peabody Museum’s
Aleutian Expedition of 1948, led by
Harvard University graduate student
William S. Laughlin. The Harvard
Peabody Museum felt it had
authorization for the work under a
contract to partially fund the 1948
Expedition, but it obtained an
Antiquities Act Permit for work during
a second season in 1949, due to
uncertainty about the authorization for
the 1948 work. The human remains of
the one individual removed in 1948
were accessioned by the Harvard
Peabody Museum, where they remained
until 2017, when they were transferred
to the Bureau of Land Management in
Alaska and placed in their current
location at the University of Alaska
Museum of the North. The human
remains consist of a single mandible
from an adult of unknown sex. No
known individual was identified. The
one associated funerary object is the
fragment of a ground stone lamp.
The site is more than 200 years old;
its actual age unknown. The stone lamp
fragment is consistent with items found
in other archeological sites more than
200 years old in the Eastern Aleutian
Islands. Based on genetic studies as well
as a continuity in artifact styles,
scientists view the current aboriginal
Unangan population of the Eastern
Aleutian Islands as direct descendants
of the people who first came to the
region 9,000 or more years ago and were
never replaced by any other people.
This view is consistent with oral
traditional information provided by
today’s Unangan people.
In 1950, human remains representing
at minimum, five individuals were
removed from the Eider Point Site on
Unalaska Island, Eastern Aleutian
Islands, AK. That same year, human
remains representing one individual
were removed from the Amaknak Burial
Site on Amaknak Island, near Unalaska
Island. Both removals were carried out
by Ted P. Bank II, of the University of
Michigan, under a Federal permit.
Initially, the human remains were
placed at the University of Michigan.
Around the late 1990s, these six sets of
human remains were moved to the
Museum of the Aleutians, Unalaska,
Alaska. Until 2018, the human remains
were believed to be under the control of
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS). Accordingly, FWS moved the
remains from the Museum of the
