The Native American Graves Protection
and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), enacted in 1990, requires museums to
compile information regarding Native American cultural items in
their possession or control and provide that information to lineal
descendants, Indian tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations using
specific types of documentation (summaries, inventories, and
notices). The implementing regulations, first promulgated in 1995,
require that each museum provide one copy of each summary and
inventory to the Secretary of the Interior, through the National
Park Service (NPS). Notices prepared by museums are published in
the Federal Register by the NPS. To date, 1,299 museums have
provided summaries, inventories, and notices, as applicable, to the
NPS. The collection of information requirements in this rule are
prepared under the authorities granted in Secs. 5, 6, 7, and 8 of
NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003, 3004, 3005, 3006. Collection of information
during the conduct of administrative investigations of allegations
of failure to comply under Sec. 9 of NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3007, is
exempt from the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3518 (c)(1)(B)(ii)).

In developing this estimate, we
reviewed all aspects of the final regulations for information
collection requirements. Our previously approved information
collection identified nine information collections. The final
regulations require modifications to those previously approved
information collections and the removal of three previously
approved information collections. We also identified 13 additional
information collections in the existing regulations that were not
previously identified as information collections. Finally, the
final regulations require nine new information collections. Subpart
B - Protection on Federal or Tribal Lands. The requirements in
Subpart B of the final regulations caused a net increase of 217
responses and 3,313.5 burden hours due to new information
collections. Subpart C: Repatriation by Museums The requirements in
Subpart C of the final regulations caused a net increase of 2,340
responses and 153,245.5 burden hours due to revised and new
information collections. Subpart D: Repatriation by Museums The
requirements in Subpart D of the final regulations caused a net
increase of 3 responses and 165 burden hours due to the new
information collection.
