Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items: U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, Forest Service, Coronado National Forest, Tucson, AZ and 
Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ; Correction

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves 
Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3005, of the intent 
to repatriate cultural items in the possession of the U.S. Department 
of Agriculture, Forest Service, Coronado National Forest, Tucson, AZ, 
and in the possession of the Arizona State Museum, University of 
Arizona, Tucson, AZ, that meet the definition of "objects of cultural 
patrimony" under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
    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 corrects the number of cultural items with the addition 
of one object of cultural patrimony, which was found in Arizona State 
Museum's collection after the publication of a Notice of Intent to 
Repatriate in the Federal Register on November 20, 2007 (FR Doc E7-
22671, Page 65354).
    In the Federal Register of November 20, 2007, the notice is 
corrected by substituting the following for paragraph 3:
    The 59 cultural items are part of an archeological collection known 
as the Pinaleno Cotton Cache. The 59 cultural items are 2 caches of 
raw, native cotton, 3 ceramic jars, 3 ceramic bowls, 2 coiled basketry 
bowls, 1 coiled basketry pot stand, and 48 botanical and faunal items.
    Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to 
be culturally affiliated with the objects of cultural patrimony should 
contact Dr. Frank E. Wozniak, NAGPRA Coordinator, Southwestern Region, 
USDA Forest Service, 333 Broadway Blvd., SE, Albuquerque, NM 87102, 
telephone (505) 842-3238, before December 26, 2008. Repatriation of the 
objects of cultural patrimony to the Tohono O'odham Nation of Arizona 
may proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward.
    The Coronado National Forest is responsible for notifying the Ak 
Chin Indian Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation, 
Arizona; Gila River Indian Community of the Gila River Indian 
Reservation, Arizona; Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa 
Indian Community of the Salt River Reservation; and the Tohono O'odham 
Nation of Arizona that this notice has been published.
