The Native American Graves Protection
and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), enacted in 1990, requires museums to
compile information regarding Native American cultural items in
their possession or control and provide that information to lineal
descendants, Indian tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations using
specific types of documentation (summaries, inventories, and
notices). The implementing regulations, first promulgated in 1995,
require that each museum provide one copy of each summary and
inventory to the Secretary of the Interior, through the National
Park Service (NPS). Notices prepared by museums are published in
the Federal Register by the NPS. To date, 1,299 museums have
provided summaries, inventories, and notices, as applicable, to the
NPS. The collection of information requirements in this rule are
prepared under the authorities granted in Secs. 5, 6, 7, and 8 of
NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003, 3004, 3005, 3006. Collection of information
during the conduct of administrative investigations of allegations
of failure to comply under Sec. 9 of NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3007, is
exempt from the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3518 (c)(1)(B)(ii)).
