Consider the following situation.Identifywhich administrative agency or agencieslisted might have an impact on which elementand why.

Situation:Marie's adult son was killed in a tragic accident while on vacation in another country thousands of miles from home.He allegedly consumed fruit from a tree that turned out to be poisonous.Marie wants to have her son's remains brought back to the United States along with samples of the fruit so that an autopsy and tests can be performed to determine the true cause of death.

After the autopsy, Marie wants a local funeral home to cremate the remains together with her son's prized possession, his laptop computer, and place them in two special containers.Her son was a metallurgical engineer and she wants the remains sealed in two titanium boxes her son himself made while in college.

She then wants to mail one box of remains overnight to a relative who lives near her son's favorite destination for trout fishing at a national park.There she wants the relative to break the seal and scatter part of the remains over the trout hatchery within the park and the other part scattered over an adjacent public waterway.

Marie wants to hand-carry the other remains herself, in a second sealed metal box by plane to a second destination to scatter them in a state park that also contained federally protected wetlands where her son played as a child.

Finally, she wants to keep a small amount of the remains and send them in a simple paper envelope to her son's father, who abandoned the family when her son was a child, as a symbolic gesture of how little value her former husband placed on her son's life.
