    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 17970
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has announced changes to its Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) planning areas. These areas are defined sections of the ocean floor used for planning oil and gas activities. Due to updates in U.S. maritime boundaries and new policies, BOEM has expanded its planning areas from 26 to 27, even though the overall acreage has decreased slightly. This change includes the addition of a new "High Arctic Planning Area" and updates to the boundaries in the Gulf of America.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has added one more section in the ocean where they plan for oil and gas activities, so now there are 27 sections instead of 26. But even with more sections, the total size is a bit smaller than before.

    Mercyhurst University has conducted an inventory of human remains in compliance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). They found that the remains do not have a known lineal descendant or any cultural affiliation with an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization. Interested parties can request repatriation of the remains by showing evidence of cultural ties, and these requests will be considered starting May 30, 2025. The National Park Service has published the notice, but Mercyhurst University is responsible for the determinations and any actions taken regarding the remains.

    Simple Explanation

    Mercyhurst University found some old bones, but they don't know who they belong to. If someone can prove the bones are tied to their ancestors, they can ask for them back starting May 30, 2025.
