Service and Oregon State Museum of
Anthropology professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon.
In July 1961, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from a burial
at Whitman Mission National Historic
Site in Walla Walla, Washington during
legally authorized excavations by NPS
archeologist Paul Schumacher. The
human skeletal remains were removed
from Whitman Mission and were
delivered to the University of Oregon. In
January 1962 David L. Cole completed
a detailed description of the skeletal
remains and identified them as
representing a male Native American
individual who had been approximately
45-55 years old at the time of death. The
burial was characterized as a Christian
burial in a coffin that dated to the early
historic period (1830s) when the
Whitmans operated a mission among
the Cayuse. In preparation for
repatriation the NPS took possession of
this set of human remains in August
1996. No known individuals were
identified. The 20 associated funerary
objects are 6 fragments of wood from a
coffin, 1 bag of wood particles, 8
corroded nails with some attached wood
pieces, 1 copper brad, 2 bone buttons,
1 shell button and 1 dentalia shell bead.
Whitman Mission National Historic
Site commemorates the history of a
mission established by Marcus and
Narcissa Whitman in the 1830s on land
that was primarily occupied by Cayuse
Indians at the time. The site of the
mission settlement is widely recognized
as having been part of a larger aboriginal
Cayuse territory and is within the
judicially established area that is
officially recognized as the Cayuse
homeland. Immediately to the west of
the Cayuse territory was the aboriginal
homeland of the Walla Walla tribe. To
the west of the Cayuse and southwest of
the Walla Walla was the recognized
aboriginal homeland of the Umatilla
tribe. The Cayuse, the Walla Walla and
the Umatilla are all constituent tribes of
the present-day Confederated Tribes of
the Umatilla Reservation, Oregon.
Officials of Whitman Mission
National Historic Site have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001, Sec. 2
(9-10), the human remains listed above
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
Officials of Whitman Mission National
Historic Site also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001, Sec. 2
(3)(A), the 20 objects listed above are
reasonably believed to have been placed
with or near individual human remains
at the time of death or later as part of

the death rite or ceremony. Lastly,
officials of Whitman Mission National
Historic Site have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001, Sec. 2 (2),
there is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between these Native American human
remains and the Confederated Tribes of
the Umatilla Reservation, Oregon.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with these human remains and
associated funerary objects should
contact Superintendent Francis T.
Darby, Whitman Mission National
Historic Site, 328 Whitman Mission
Road, Walla Walla, Washington 99362-
9699, telephone (509) 522-6360, before
December 9, 2002. Repatriation of these
human remains and associated funerary
objects to the Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Reservation, Oregon may begin
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
Whitman Mission National Historic
Site is responsible for notifying the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon that this notice has
been published.

Reach 11 Recreation Master Plan,
Central Arizona Project, Arizona
AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability of a final
environmental impact statement (EIS).
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended, and the Council on
Environmental Quality’s Regulations for
Implementing the Procedural Provisions
of NEPA, the Bureau of Reclamation
(Reclamation), in conjunction with the
City of Phoenix (City), has prepared a
final EIS for a Recreation Master Plan
for the Reach 11 Recreation Area (Reach
11), located in the northeast portion of
the city of Phoenix, Maricopa County,
Arizona. The final EIS considers the
proposed approval and implementation
of a recreation master plan for a 1,500-
acre area adjacent to the Central Arizona
Project (CAP) canal, between Cave Creek
and Scottsdale roads. The land is owned
VerDate 0ct<31>2002 16:24 Nov 07, 2002 Jkt 200001
by Reclamation and is managed for
recreational purposes by the City’s Parks
and Recreation Department (PRD) under
a 1986 Recreation Land Use Agreement
(RLUA). The final EIS describes the
anticipated environmental effects
associated with a new recreation master
plan for Reach 11. A proposed action
and two action alternative master plans
have been considered in the EIS. A No
Action Alternative is also described,
which provides a baseline for
comparing the impacts of the three
action alternatives.
DATES: No decision will be made on the
proposed action until 30 days after the
release of the final EIS. After the 30-day
waiting period, Reclamation will
complete a Record of Decision (ROD).
ADDRESSES: Copies of the final EIS are
available for public inspection and
review at the locations listed in the
Supplementary Information section
below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Sandra Eto, Bureau of Reclamation,
Phoenix Area Office (PXAO–1500), PO
Box 81169, Phoenix, AZ 85069–1169,
telephone 602–216–3857.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final
EIS considers the effects of approving a
new Recreation Master Plan for Reach
11. Reach 11 is managed for recreational
purposes by the PRD, consistent with
the 1986 RLUA pursuant to Title 28,
Federal Water Project Recreation Act of
1965 (Pub. L. 89–72, as amended). The
current master plan was approved in
1987. The City and Reclamation
determined a comprehensive planning
effort for a new master plan should be
carried out, due to the major population
growth that has occurred and future
growth anticipated for the area. This
effort included conducting a recreation
needs assessment to inventory existing
facilities in the vicinity of Reach 11, and
evaluating needs based upon
established park standards, existing
capacity, and public interest in or
opposition to various recreation uses.
The purpose and need for a new
Recreation Master Plan is to optimize
recreational use of Reach 11 based upon
the needs of the City and community,
while ensuring compatibility with the
primary flood control function of Reach
11. A master plan would accommodate
and respect the full range of current and
future recreation demands of this
growing area of Phoenix, Arizona. The
final EIS considers three alternative
master plan scenarios. All three provide
a level of development established for a
City district park. Under the Proposed
Action, high-demand recreation needs
PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\08NON1.SGM
would be balanced with passive
recreation uses and maintenance of
quality habitat areas. Two other
alternative action alternatives are
considered: One that would provide less
active recreation-oriented development
and emphasizes passive recreation-
oriented activities (Alternative 1), and
one that would maximize development
of active-recreation oriented recreation
facilities (Alternative 2). The No Action
Alternative assumes the existing 1987
master plan, (which does not meet
current PRD district park standards),
would continue to be implemented. The
alternative ultimately selected and
implemented is expected to be
developed in phases by PRD, as funding
becomes available.
The draft EIS was issued November 9,
2001. Responses to comments received
from interested organizations and
individuals on the draft EIS are
addressed in the final EIS.

action that will be implemented and
will discuss all factors leading to the
decision.
