Notice is hereby given in accordance with the Federal Advisory

Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act Review Committee
will be held on February 16, 17, and 18, 1995, in Los Angeles, CA.
The Committee will meet in the Garden A room at the Airport Marina
Hotel, 8601 Lincoln Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90045 on the 16th and 17th
and in the Bird's Nest at Loyola Marymount University, 7101 West 80th

The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Review
Committee was established by Public Law 101-601 to monitor, review, and
assist in implementation of the inventory and identification process
and repatriation activities required under the statute.
On the agenda for this meeting will be the Committee's
consideration of drafts of three sections that were reserved in the
proposed regulations published May 28, 1993: 1) Disposition of
Unclaimed Human Remains and Cultural Items from Federal and Tribal
Lands (Sec. 10.7); 2) Disposition of Culturally Unidentifiable Human
Remains in Museums and Federal Collections (Sec. 10.11); and 3) Future
Applicability (Sec. 10.13).
Unclaimed human remains and cultural items are those intentionally
excavated or inadvertently discovered on Federal or tribal lands after
November 16, 1990, for which, after following the process outlined in
section 3 of the statute (25 U.S.C. 3002), no lineal descendant or
Indian tribe has made a claim.
Culturally unidentifiable human remains are those in museum or
Federal agency collections for which, following the completion of
inventories by November 16, 1995, no lineal descendants or culturally
affiliated Indian tribe has been determined.
The section on the future applicability of the statute will address
the requirements of museums that receive Federal funds after the
statutory deadlines for summary and inventory compliance and of museums
and [[Page 4446]] Federal agencies that receive collections after those
same deadlines.
The meeting will be open to the public. However, facilities and
space for accommodating members of the public are limited. Persons will
be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis. Any member of the
public may file a written statement concerning the matters to be
discussed with Dr. Francis P. McManamon, Departmental Consulting
Archeologist.
