WA. The human remains were removed from an unknown area of Western 
Oregon.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's 
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). 
The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the 
museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native 
American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National 
Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
    This notice increases the minimum number of individuals from one to 
two in a Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal 
Register of January 15, 2008 (FR Doc E8-563, Pages 2525-2526).
    The Notice of Inventory Completion in the Federal Register of 
January 15, 2008, paragraph number 4 is corrected by substituting the 
following paragraph:
    In the 1930s, human remains representing a minimum of two 
individuals were removed from an unknown area in Western Oregon. The 
human remains were donated to the museum by Dr. Warner M. Karshner in 
the 1930s. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary 
objects are present.
    Paragraph number 7 is corrected by substituting the following 
paragraph:
    Officials of the Paul H. Karshner Memorial Museum have determined 
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described 
above represent the physical remains of two individuals of Native 
American ancestry. Officials of the Paul H. Karshner Memorial Museum 
also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a 
relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced 
between the Native American human remains and the Confederated Tribes 
of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon.
    Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to 
be culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact Dr. Jay 
Reifel, Assistant Superintendent, telephone (253) 840-8971 or Ms. Beth 
Bestrom, Museum Curator, Paul H. Karsnher Memorial Museum, 309 4th St. 
NE, Puyallup, WA 98372, telephone (253) 841-8748, before April 30, 
2008. Repatriation of the human remains to the Confederated Tribes of 
the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon may proceed after that date if no 
additional claimants come forward.
    Paul H. Karshner Memorial Museum is responsible for notifying the 
Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians of 
Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon; 
Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon; and Coquille 
Tribe of Oregon that this notice has been published.
