that the Office of Indian Energy and
Economic Development (IEED) will hold
an all-day public information session on
April 29, 2008, concerning the final
regulations authorizing Tribal Energy
Resource Agreements (TERA). These
final regulations provide the process
under which a tribe may apply for, and
the Secretary of the Interior may grant,
authority for an Indian tribe to review
and approve leases and business
agreements and grant rights-of-way for
specific energy development activities
on tribal lands through an approved
TERA. The regulations also cover
processes for implementation of TERAs,
including periodic review and
evaluation of a tribe’s activities under a
TERA, enforcement of TERA provisions,
and administrative appeals. The
regulations also include a process for a
tribe to voluntarily rescind a TERA.
DATES: The public information meeting
will begin at 9 a.m. on April 29, 2008.

be found in the Code of Federal
Regulations at 25 CFR Part 224, fully
implements the provisions of 25 U.S.C.
3504.
IEED staff will be on hand at the
meeting to present an overview of the
regulations and to provide information
on how tribes can use the processes
contained in the regulations in their
energy development efforts. At the
meeting, IEED staff will discuss topics
