SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions 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 collected.
(4) How might the agency 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
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or

Abstract: Gathering and removing
plants or plant parts is currently
prohibited in National Park System
areas unless specifically authorized by
Federal statute or treaty rights or
conducted under the limited
circumstances authorized by an existing
regulation codified in 36 CFR 2.1(c).
Regulations codified in 36 CFR part 2
allow the gathering and removal of
plants or plant parts by enrolled
members of federally recognized tribes
for traditional purposes. The regulations
authorize agreements between the NPS
and federally recognized tribes to
facilitate the continuation of tribal
cultural practices on lands within areas
of the National Park System where those
practices traditionally occurred, without
causing a significant adverse impact to
park resources or values. The
regulations:
• Respect tribal sovereignty and
cultural practices,
• further the government-togovernment relationship between the
United States and the Indian Tribes, and
• provide system-wide consistency
for this aspect of NPS-Tribal relations.
The agreements explicitly recognize
the special government-to-government
relationship between the United States
and Indian Tribes and are based upon
mutually agreed upon terms and
conditions subject to the requirements
of 36 CFR 2.6(f). The agreements serve
as the documents through which the
NPS authorizes tribal gathering
implemented by an accompanying
permit authorized by 36 CFR 1.6. Only
enrolled members of a federally
recognized tribe are allowed to collect
plants or plant parts, and the tribe must
be traditionally associated with the
specific park area. This traditional
association must predate the
establishment of the park. The plant
gathering must meet a traditional
purpose that is a customary activity and
practice rooted in the history of the tribe
and is important for the continuation of
the tribe’s distinct culture. Authorized
plant gathering must be sustainable and
may not result in a significant adverse
impact on park resources or values. The
sale and commercial use of plants or
plant parts within areas of the National
Park System will continue to be
prohibited by the NPS regulations in 36
CFR 2.1(c)(3)(v).
The information collections
associated with 36 CFR part 2 include:

(1) The initial request from a tribe that
we enter into an agreement with the
tribe for gathering and removal of plants
or plant parts for traditional purposes.
The request must include the
information specified in § 2.6(c).
(2) The agreement defines the terms
under which the NPS may issue a
permit to a tribe for plant gathering
purposes. To make determinations
based upon tribal requests or to enter
into an agreement, we may need to
collect information from specific tribal
members or tribes who make requests.
The agreement must contain the
information specified in § 2.6(f).
(3) Tribes may submit an appeal to the
NPS to provide additional information
on historical relationship of the tribe,
traditional uses of plants to be gathered,
and/or the impact of gathering on the
resource of concern in the event of a
denial by the NPS on this issue.

History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Sometime in the 1880s, six cultural
items were removed from the
Mississippi Valley in AL and MS.
Captain W.P. Hall excavated these
items. Subsequently, Miss Elizabeth
Duncan Putnam donated these items to
the museum. The six unassociated
funerary objects are two Bell Plain
Bowls, one miniature bowl, one animal
effigy sherd, one ear plug, and one pipe
fragment.
These items have been determined to
derive from Mississippian burial
mounds in AL and MS. Based on this
geographical and archeological
information, they are connected to The
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.
Determinations Made by the Putnam
Museum and Science Center
Officials of the Putnam Museum and
Science Center have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the six cultural items described above
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 and
are believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of a Native American
individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the unassociated funerary
objects and The Choctaw Nation of
Oklahoma.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
should submit a written request with
information in support of the claim to
Christina Kastell, Putnam Museum and
Science Center, 1717 W 12th Street,
Davenport, IA 52804, telephone (563)
336–7293, email [email protected],
by May 23, 2022. After that date, if no
additional claimants have come
forward, transfer of control of the
unassociated funerary objects to The
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma may
proceed.
The Putnam Museum and Science
Center is responsible for notifying The
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma that this
notice has been published.
Dated: April 13, 2022.
