Background
On November 16, 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 (the Act) into law. The Act addresses the rights of lineal descendants, Indian tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations to Native American human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony with which they are affiliated. The Act assigns implementation responsibilities to the Secretary of the Interior.
Need for Correction
As published, the final rule mistakenly cited the affected subpart as Subpart D of Part 10. The correct reference should have been Subpart B and C of Part 10.

1. The authority citation for part 10 continues to read as follows:

3. In Subparts B and C, remove the words "Departmental Consulting Archeologist" wherever they appear and add in their place the words "Manager, National NAGPRA Program."
