BIA seeking comments on lease regulations


The Bureau of Indian Affairs is taking comments on revisions to its regulations affecting residential leases and business leases on trust and restricted land.

The proposed rule will take the place of "Subpart C, Residential Leases, and Subpart D, Business Leases" that was reserved when the BIA published its final Leasing and Permitting Regulations on January 22, 2001.

According to the BIA, the proposed rule will account for the Indian Land Consolidation Act Amendments of 2000 and "all other issues related to residential and business leases."

Comments are being accepted until May 10, 2004.
