Abstract: Collecting plants in national
parks is generally prohibited unless
allowed by law, treaty rights, or
exceptions under 36 CFR 2.1(c). Under
36 CFR part 2, members of federally
recognized Tribes may gather plants for
traditional, non-commercial purposes
when their Tribe has an approved
agreement with the National Park
Service (NPS). These regulations
support Tribal sovereignty and
consistent NPS practices.
Under 36 CFR 2.6(f), the NPS and a
Tribe may develop an agreement
outlining how plant gathering will
occur. A permit issued under 36 CFR
1.6 then authorizes specific activities.
Only enrolled Tribal members with a
long-standing historical connection to
the park may gather plants, and the
Tribe’s connection must predate the
park’s establishment. Gathering must be
sustainable and for traditional uses
only.
This information collection includes:
• A Tribe’s request to enter into a
plant-gathering agreement.
• Information required to develop the
agreement under 36 CFR 2.6(f).
• Documentation submitted if a Tribe
appeals a denied request, such as
evidence of historical connection,
traditional practices, or potential
resource impacts.
Title of Collection: Gathering of
Certain Plants or Plant Parts by
Federally Recognized Indian Tribes for
Traditional Purposes.
OMB Control Number: 1024–0271.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Indian
Tribes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 30.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Varies from 4 to 80 hrs.
(times vary depending upon the
activity).
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 530 hrs.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Non hour
Burden Cost: None.
An agency may not conduct, or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.

Two female individuals were removed
from 12–T–1293 in Tippecanoe Co, IN.
The burials were an accidental
discovery and had eroded out of a
riverbank. Staff at Indiana State
University recovered the ancestors in
2012. Based on the funerary belongings
including rings and a kettle, the time

our knowledge, no hazardous
substances have been used to treat the
human remains or funerary belongings.
