  TITLE I--SALT RIVER PIMA-MARICOPA INDIAN COMMUNITY IRRIGATION WORKS

SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds and declares that--
        (1) it is the policy of the United States, in fulfillment of 
    its trust responsibility to Indian tribes, to promote Indian self-
    determination and economic self-sufficiency;
        (2) the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (hereinafter 
    referred to as the ``Community'') has operated the irrigation works 
    within the Community's reservation since November 1997 and is 
    capable of fully managing the operation of these irrigation works;
        (3) considering that the irrigation works, which are comprised 
    primarily of canals, ditches, irrigation wells, storage reservoirs, 
    and sump ponds located exclusively on lands held in trust for the 
    Community and allottees, have been operated generally the same for 
    over 100 years, the irrigation works will continue to be used for 
    the distribution and delivery of water;
        (4) considering that the operational management of the 
    irrigation works has been carried out by the Community as indicated 
    in paragraph (2), the conveyance of ownership of such works to the 
    Community is viewed as an administrative action;
        (5) the Community's laws and regulations are in compliance with 
    section 102(b); and
        (6) in light of the foregoing and in order to--
            (A) promote Indian self-determination, economic self-
        sufficiency, and self-governance;
            (B) enable the Community in its development of a diverse, 
        efficient reservation economy; and
            (C) enable the Community to better serve the water needs of 
        the water users within the Community,
    it is appropriate in this instance that the United States convey to 
    the Community the ownership of the irrigation works.

SEC. 102. CONVEYANCE AND OPERATION OF IRRIGATION WORKS.

    (a) Conveyance.--The Secretary of the Interior, as soon as is 
practicable after the date of the enactment of this Act, and in 
accordance with the provisions of this title and all other applicable 
law, shall convey to the Community any or all rights and interests of 
the United States in and to the irrigation works on the Community's 
reservation which were formerly operated by the Bureau of Indian 
Affairs. Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 1 and 3 of the Act 
of April 4, 1910 (25 U.S.C. 385) and sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Act of 
August 7, 1946 (25 U.S.C. 385a, 385b, and 385c) and any implementing 
regulations, during the period between the date of the enactment of 
this Act and the conveyance of the irrigation works by the United 
States to the Community, the Community shall operate the irrigation 
works under the provisions set forth in this title and in accordance 
with the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 
U.S.C. 450 et seq.), including retaining and expending operations and 
maintenance collections for irrigation works purposes. Effective upon 
the date of conveyance of the irrigation works, the Community shall 
have the full ownership of and operating authority over the irrigation 
works in accordance with the provisions of this title.
    (b) Fulfillment of Federal Trust Responsibilities.--To assure 
compliance with the Federal trust responsibilities of the United States 
to Indian tribes, individual Indians and Indians with trust allotments, 
including such trust responsibilities contained in Salt River Pima-
Maricopa Indian Community Water Rights Settlement Act of 1988 (Public 
Law 100-512), the Community shall operate the irrigation works 
consistent with this title and under uniform laws and regulations 
adopted by the Community for the management, regulation, and control of 
water resources on the reservation so as to assure fairness in the 
delivery of water to water users. Such Community laws and regulations 
include currently and shall continue to include provisions to maintain 
the following requirements and standards which shall be published and 
made available to the Secretary and the Community at large:
        (1) Process.--A process by which members of the Community, 
    including Indian allottees, shall be provided a system of 
    distribution, allocation, control, pricing and regulation of water 
    that will provide a just and equitable distribution of water so as 
    to achieve the maximum beneficial use and conservation of water in 
    recognition of the demand on the water resource, the changing uses 
    of land and water and the varying annual quantity of available 
    Community water.
        (2) Due process.--A due process system for the consideration 
    and determination of any request by an Indian or Indian allottee 
    for distribution of water for use on his or her land, including a 
    process for appeal and adjudication of denied or disputed 
    distributions and for resolution of contested administrative 
    decisions.
    (c) Subsequent Modification of Laws and Regulations.--If the 
provisions of the Community's laws and regulations implementing 
subsection (b) only are to be modified subsequent to the date of the 
enactment of this Act by the Community, such proposed modifications 
shall be published and made available to the Secretary at least 120 
days prior to their effective date and any modification that could 
significantly adversely affect the rights of allottees shall only 
become effective upon the concurrence of both the Community and the 
Secretary.
    (d) Limitations of Liability.--Effective upon the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the United States shall not be liable for 
damages of any kind arising out of any act, omission, or occurrence 
based on the Community's ownership or operation of the irrigation 
works, except for damages caused by acts of negligence committed by the 
United States prior to the date of the enactment of this Act. Nothing 
in this section shall be deemed to increase the liability of the United 
States beyond that currently provided in the Federal Tort Claims Act 
(28 U.S.C. 2671 et seq.).
    (e) Cancellation of Charges.--Effective upon the date of conveyance 
of the irrigation works under this section, any charges for 
construction of the irrigation works on the reservation of the 
Community that have been deferred pursuant to the Act of July 1, 1932 
(25 U.S.C. 386a) are hereby canceled.
    (f) Project No Longer a BIA Project.--Effective upon the date of 
conveyance of the irrigation works under this section, the irrigation 
works shall no longer be considered a Bureau of Indian Affairs 
irrigation project and the facilities will not be eligible for Federal 
benefits based solely on the fact that the irrigation works were 
formerly a Bureau of Indian Affairs irrigation project. Nothing in this 
title shall be construed to limit or reduce in any way the service, 
contracts, or funds the Community may be eligible to receive under 
other applicable Federal law.

SEC. 103. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER LAWS.

    Nothing in this title shall be construed to diminish the trust 
responsibility of the United States under applicable law to the Salt 
River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, to individual Indians, or to 
Indians with trust allotments within the Community's reservation.

              TITLE II--NATIVE HAWAIIAN HOUSING ASSISTANCE

SEC. 201. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Hawaiian Homelands Homeownership 
Act of 2000''.

SEC. 202. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
        (1) the United States has undertaken a responsibility to 
    promote the general welfare of the United States by--
            (A) employing its resources to remedy the unsafe and 
        unsanitary housing conditions and the acute shortage of decent, 
        safe, and sanitary dwellings for families of lower income; and
            (B) developing effective partnerships with governmental and 
        private entities to accomplish the objectives referred to in 
        subparagraph (A);
        (2) the United States has a special responsibility for the 
    welfare of the Native peoples of the United States, including 
    Native Hawaiians;
        (3) pursuant to the provisions of the Hawaiian Homes Commission 
    Act, 1920 (42 Stat. 108 et seq.), the United States set aside 
    200,000 acres of land in the Federal territory that later became 
    the State of Hawaii in order to establish a homeland for the native 
    people of Hawaii--Native Hawaiians;
        (4) despite the intent of Congress in 1920 to address the 
    housing needs of Native Hawaiians through the enactment of the 
    Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920 (42 Stat. 108 et seq.), Native 
    Hawaiians eligible to reside on the Hawaiian home lands have been 
    foreclosed from participating in Federal housing assistance 
    programs available to all other eligible families in the United 
    States;
        (5) although Federal housing assistance programs have been 
    administered on a racially neutral basis in the State of Hawaii, 
    Native Hawaiians continue to have the greatest unmet need for 
    housing and the highest rates of overcrowding in the United States;
        (6) among the Native American population of the United States, 
    Native Hawaiians experience the highest percentage of housing 
    problems in the United States, as the percentage--
            (A) of housing problems in the Native Hawaiian population 
        is 49 percent, as compared to--
                (i) 44 percent for American Indian and Alaska Native 
            households in Indian country; and
                (ii) 27 percent for all other households in the United 
            States; and
            (B) overcrowding in the Native Hawaiian population is 36 
        percent as compared to 3 percent for all other households in 
        the United States;
        (7) among the Native Hawaiian population, the needs of Native 
    Hawaiians, as that term is defined in section 801 of the Native 
    American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996, as 
    added by section 203 of this Act, eligible to reside on the 
    Hawaiian Home Lands are the most severe, as--
            (A) the percentage of overcrowding in Native Hawaiian 
        households on the Hawaiian Home Lands is 36 percent; and
            (B) approximately 13,000 Native Hawaiians, which constitute 
        95 percent of the Native Hawaiians who are eligible to reside 
        on the Hawaiian Home Lands, are in need of housing;
        (8) applying the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
    guidelines--
            (A) 70.8 percent of Native Hawaiians who either reside or 
        who are eligible to reside on the Hawaiian Home Lands have 
        incomes that fall below the median family income; and
            (B) 50 percent of Native Hawaiians who either reside or who 
        are eligible to reside on the Hawaiian Home Lands have incomes 
        below 30 percent of the median family income;
        (9) one-third of those Native Hawaiians who are eligible to 
    reside on the Hawaiian Home Lands pay more than 30 percent of their 
    income for shelter, and one-half of those Native Hawaiians face 
    overcrowding;
        (10) the extraordinarily severe housing needs of Native 
    Hawaiians demonstrate that Native Hawaiians who either reside on, 
    or are eligible to reside on, Hawaiian Home Lands have been denied 
    equal access to Federal low-income housing assistance programs 
    available to other qualified residents of the United States, and 
    that a more effective means of addressing their housing needs must 
    be authorized;
        (11) consistent with the recommendations of the National 
    Commission on American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian 
    Housing, and in order to address the continuing prevalence of 
    extraordinarily severe housing needs among Native Hawaiians who 
    either reside or are eligible to reside on the Hawaiian Home Lands, 
    Congress finds it necessary to extend the Federal low-income 
    housing assistance available to American Indians and Alaska Natives 
    under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination 
    Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.) to those Native Hawaiians;
        (12) under the treatymaking power of the United States, 
    Congress had the constitutional authority to confirm a treaty 
    between the United States and the government that represented the 
    Hawaiian people, and from 1826 until 1893, the United States 
    recognized the independence of the Kingdom of Hawaii, extended full 
    diplomatic recognition to the Hawaiian Government, and entered into 
    treaties and conventions with the Hawaiian monarchs to govern 
    commerce and navigation in 1826, 1842, 1849, 1875, and 1887;
        (13) the United States has recognized and reaffirmed that--
            (A) Native Hawaiians have a cultural, historic, and land-
        based link to the indigenous people who exercised sovereignty 
        over the Hawaiian Islands, and that group has never 
        relinquished its claims to sovereignty or its sovereign lands;
            (B) Congress does not extend services to Native Hawaiians 
        because of their race, but because of their unique status as 
        the indigenous people of a once sovereign nation as to whom the 
        United States has established a trust relationship;
            (C) Congress has also delegated broad authority to 
        administer a portion of the Federal trust responsibility to the 
        State of Hawaii;
            (D) the political status of Native Hawaiians is comparable 
        to that of American Indians; and
            (E) the aboriginal, indigenous people of the United States 
        have--
                (i) a continuing right to autonomy in their internal 
            affairs; and
                (ii) an ongoing right of self-determination and self-
            governance that has never been extinguished;
        (14) the political relationship between the United States and 
    the Native Hawaiian people has been recognized and reaffirmed by 
    the United States as evidenced by the inclusion of Native Hawaiians 
    in--
            (A) the Native American Programs Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 
        2291 et seq.);
            (B) the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (42 U.S.C. 
        1996 et seq.);
            (C) the National Museum of the American Indian Act (20 
        U.S.C. 80q et seq.);
            (D) the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation 
        Act (25 U.S.C. 3001 et seq.);
            (E) the National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470 
        et seq.);
            (F) the Native American Languages Act of 1992 (106 Stat. 
        3434);
            (G) the American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian 
        Culture and Arts Development Act (20 U.S.C. 4401 et seq.);
            (H) the Job Training Partnership Act (29 U.S.C. 1501 et 
        seq.); and
            (I) the Older Americans Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. 3001 et 
        seq.); and
        (15) in the area of housing, the United States has recognized 
    and reaffirmed the political relationship with the Native Hawaiian 
    people through--
            (A) the enactment of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 
        1920 (42 Stat. 108 et seq.), which set aside approximately 
        200,000 acres of public lands that became known as Hawaiian 
        Home Lands in the Territory of Hawaii that had been ceded to 
        the United States for homesteading by Native Hawaiians in order 
        to rehabilitate a landless and dying people;
            (B) the enactment of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide 
        for the admission of the State of Hawaii into the Union'', 
        approved March 18, 1959 (73 Stat. 4)--
                (i) by ceding to the State of Hawaii title to the 
            public lands formerly held by the United States, and 
            mandating that those lands be held in public trust, for the 
            betterment of the conditions of Native Hawaiians, as that 
            term is defined in section 201 of the Hawaiian Homes 
            Commission Act, 1920 (42 Stat. 108 et seq.); and
                (ii) by transferring the United States responsibility 
            for the administration of Hawaiian Home Lands to the State 
            of Hawaii, but retaining the authority to enforce the 
            trust, including the exclusive right of the United States 
            to consent to any actions affecting the lands which 
            comprise the corpus of the trust and any amendments to the 
            Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920 (42 Stat. 108 et seq.), 
            enacted by the legislature of the State of Hawaii affecting 
            the rights of beneficiaries under the Act;
            (C) the authorization of mortgage loans insured by the 
        Federal Housing Administration for the purchase, construction, 
        or refinancing of homes on Hawaiian Home Lands under the Act of 
        June 27, 1934 (commonly referred to as the ``National Housing 
        Act'' (42 Stat. 1246 et seq., chapter 847; 12 U.S.C. 1701 et 
        seq.));
            (D) authorizing Native Hawaiian representation on the 
        National Commission on American Indian, Alaska Native, and 
        Native Hawaiian Housing under Public Law 101-235;
            (E) the inclusion of Native Hawaiians in the definition 
        under section 3764 of title 38, United States Code, applicable 
        to subchapter V of chapter 37 of title 38, United States Code 
        (relating to a housing loan program for Native American 
        veterans); and
            (F) the enactment of the Hawaiian Home Lands Recovery Act 
        (109 Stat. 357; 48 U.S.C. 491, note prec.) which establishes a 
        process for the conveyance of Federal lands to the Department 
        of Hawaiian Homes Lands that are equivalent in value to lands 
        acquired by the United States from the Hawaiian Home Lands 
        inventory.

SEC. 203. HOUSING ASSISTANCE.

    The Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act

               TITLE IV--WAKPA SICA RECONCILIATION PLACE

SEC. 401. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
        (1) there is a continuing need for reconciliation between 
    Indians and non-Indians;
        (2) the need may be met partially through the promotion of the 
    understanding of the history and culture of Sioux Indian tribes;
        (3) the establishment of a Sioux Nation Tribal Supreme Court 
    will promote economic development on reservations of the Sioux 
    Nation and provide investors that contribute to that development a 
    greater degree of certainty and confidence by--
            (A) reconciling conflicting tribal laws; and
            (B) strengthening tribal court systems;
        (4) the reservations of the Sioux Nation--
            (A) contain the poorest counties in the United States; and
            (B) lack adequate tools to promote economic development and 
        the creation of jobs;
        (5) there is a need to enhance and strengthen the capacity of 
    Indian tribal governments and tribal justice systems to address 
    conflicts which impair relationships in Indian communities and 
    between Indian and non-Indian communities and individuals; and
        (6) the establishment of the National Native American Mediation 
    Training Center, with the technical assistance of tribal and 
    Federal agencies, including the Community Relations Service of the 
    Department of Justice, would enhance and strengthen the mediation 
    skills that are useful in reducing tensions and resolving conflicts 
    in Indian communities and between Indian and non-Indian communities 
    and individuals.

    This title may be cited as the ``Torres-Martinez Desert Cahuilla 
Indians Claims Settlement Act''.

SEC. 602. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
        (1) In 1876, the Torres-Martinez Indian Reservation was 
    created, reserving a single, 640-acre section of land in the 
    Coachella Valley, California, north of the Salton Sink. The 
    Reservation was expanded in 1891 by Executive order, pursuant to 
    the Mission Indian Relief Act of 1891, adding about 12,000 acres to 
    the original 640-acre reservation.
        (2) Between 1905 and 1907, flood waters of the Colorado River 
    filled the Salton Sink, creating the Salton Sea, inundating 
    approximately 2,000 acres of the 1891 reservation lands.
        (3) In 1909, an additional 12,000 acres of land, 9,000 of which 
    were then submerged under the Salton Sea, were added to the 
    reservation under a Secretarial Order issued pursuant to a 1907 
    amendment of the Mission Indian Relief Act. Due to receding water 
    levels in the Salton Sea through the process of evaporation, at the 
    time of the 1909 enlargement of the reservation, there were some 
    expectations that the Salton Sea would recede within a period of 25 
    years.
        (4) Through the present day, the majority of the lands added to 
    the reservation in 1909 remain inundated due in part to the flowage 
    of natural runoff and drainage water from the irrigation systems of 
    the Imperial, Coachella, and Mexicali Valleys into the Salton Sea.
        (5) In addition to those lands that are inundated, there are 
    also tribal and individual Indian lands located on the perimeter of 
    the Salton Sea that are not currently irrigable due to lack of 
    proper drainage.
        (6) In 1982, the United States brought an action in trespass 
    entitled ``United States of America, in its own right and on behalf 
    of Torres-Martinez Band of Mission Indians and the Allottees 
    therein v. the Imperial Irrigation District and Coachella Valley 
    Water District'', Case No. 82-1790 K (M) (hereafter in this section 
    referred to as the ``U.S. Suit'') on behalf of the Torres-Martinez 
    Indian Tribe and affected Indian allottees against the two water 
    districts seeking damages related to the inundation of tribal- and 
    allottee-owned lands and injunctive relief to prevent future 
    discharge of water on such lands.
        (7) On August 20, 1992, the Federal District Court for the 
    Southern District of California entered a judgment in the U.S. Suit 
    requiring the Coachella Valley Water District to pay $212,908.41 in 
    past and future damages and the Imperial Irrigation District to pay 
    $2,795,694.33 in past and future damages in lieu of the United 
    States request for a permanent injunction against continued 
    flooding of the submerged lands.
        (8) The United States, the Coachella Valley Water District, and 
    the Imperial Irrigation District have filed notices of appeal with 
    the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit from the 
    district court's judgment in the U.S. Suit (Nos. 93-55389, 93-
    55398, and 93-55402), and the Tribe has filed a notice of appeal 
    from the district court's denial of its motion to intervene as a 
    matter of right (No. 92-55129).
        (9) The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has stayed 
    further action on the appeals pending the outcome of settlement 
    negotiations.
        (10) In 1991, the Tribe brought its own lawsuit, Torres-
    Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, et al., v. Imperial Irrigation 
    District, et al., Case No. 91-1670 J (LSP) (hereafter in this 
    section referred to as the ``Indian Suit'') in the United States 
    District Court, Southern District of California, against the two 
    water districts, and amended the complaint to include as a 
    plaintiff, Mary Resvaloso, in her own right, and as class 
    representative of all other affected Indian allotment owners.
        (11) The Indian Suit has been stayed by the district court to 
    facilitate settlement negotiations.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to facilitate and 
implement the settlement agreement negotiated and executed by the 
parties to the U.S. Suit and Indian Suit for the purpose of resolving 
their conflicting claims to their mutual satisfaction and in the public 
interest.

       TITLE XI--INDIAN EMPLOYMENT, TRAINING AND RELATED SERVICES

SEC. 1101. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Indian Employment, Training, and 
Related Services Demonstration Act Amendments of 2000''.

SEC. 1102. FINDINGS, PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
        (1) Indian tribes and Alaska Native organizations that have 
    participated in carrying out programs under the Indian Employment, 
    Training, and Related Services Demonstration Act of 1992 (25 U.S.C. 
    3401 et seq.) have--
            (A) improved the effectiveness of employment-related 
        services provided by those tribes and organizations to their 
        members;
            (B) enabled more Indian and Alaska Native people to prepare 
        for and secure employment;
            (C) assisted in transitioning tribal members from welfare 
        to work; and
            (D) otherwise demonstrated the value of integrating 
        employment, training, education and related services.
            (E) the initiatives under the Indian Employment, Training, 
        and Related Services Demonstration Act of 1992 should be 
        strengthened by ensuring that all Federal programs that 
        emphasize the value of work may be included within a 
        demonstration program of an Indian or Alaska Native 
        organization; and
            (F) the initiatives under the Indian Employment, Training, 
        and Related Services Demonstration Act of 1992 should have the 
        benefit of the support and attention of the officials with 
        policymaking authority of--
                (i) the Department of the Interior; or
                (ii) other Federal agencies that administer programs 
            covered by the Indian Employment, Training, and Related 
            Services Demonstration Act of 1992.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are to demonstrate how 
Indian tribal governments can integrate the employment, training, and 
related services they provide in order to improve the effectiveness of 
those services, reduce joblessness in Indian communities, foster 
economic development on Indian lands, and serve tribally-determined 
goals consistent with the policies of self-determination and self-
governance.

              TITLE XII--NAVAJO NATION TRUST LAND LEASING

SEC. 1201. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Navajo Nation Trust Land Leasing 
Act of 2000''.

SEC. 1202. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Recognizing the special relationship between the 
United States and the Navajo Nation and its members, and the Federal 
responsibility to the Navajo people, Congress finds that--
        (1) the third clause of section 8, Article I of the United 
    States Constitution provides that ``The Congress shall have Power * 
    * * to regulate Commerce * * * with Indian tribes'', and, through 
    this and other constitutional authority, Congress has plenary power 
    over Indian affairs;
        (2) Congress, through statutes, treaties, and the general 
    course of dealing with Indian tribes, has assumed the 
    responsibility for the protection and preservation of Indian tribes 
    and their resources;
        (3) the United States has a trust obligation to guard and 
    preserve the sovereignty of Indian tribes in order to foster strong 
    tribal governments, Indian self-determination, and economic self-
    sufficiency;
        (4) pursuant to the first section of the Act of August 9, 1955 
    (25 U.S.C. 415), Congress conferred upon the Secretary of the 
    Interior the power to promulgate regulations governing tribal 
    leases and to approve tribal leases for tribes according to 
    regulations promulgated by the Secretary;
        (5) the Secretary of the Interior has promulgated the 
    regulations described in paragraph (4) at part 162 of title 25, 
    Code of Federal Regulations;
        (6) the requirement that the Secretary approve leases for the 
    development of Navajo trust lands has added a level of review and 
    regulation that does not apply to the development of non-Indian 
    land; and
        (7) in the global economy of the 21st Century, it is crucial 
    that individual leases of Navajo trust lands not be subject to 
    Secretarial approval and that the Navajo Nation be able to make 
    immediate decisions over the use of Navajo trust lands.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are as follows:
        (1) To establish a streamlined process for the Navajo Nation to 
    lease trust lands without having to obtain the approval of the 
    Secretary of the Interior for individual leases, except leases for 
    exploration, development, or extraction of any mineral resources.
        (2) To authorize the Navajo Nation, pursuant to tribal 
    regulations, which must be approved by the Secretary, to lease 
    Navajo trust lands without the approval of the Secretary of the 
    Interior for the individual leases, except leases for exploration, 
    development, or extraction of any mineral resources.
        (3) To revitalize the distressed Navajo Reservation by 
    promoting political self-determination, and encouraging economic 
    self-sufficiency, including economic development that increases 
    productivity and the standard of living for members of the Navajo 
    Nation.
        (4) To maintain, strengthen, and protect the Navajo Nation's 
    leasing power over Navajo trust lands.
        (5) To ensure that the United States is faithfully executing 
    its trust obligation to the Navajo Nation by maintaining Federal 
    supervision through oversight of and record keeping related to 
    leases of Navajo Nation tribal trust lands.

SEC. 1203. LEASE OF RESTRICTED LANDS FOR THE NAVAJO NATION.

    The first section of the Act of August 9, 1955 (25 U.S.C. 415) is 
amended--
        (1) in subsection (d)--
            (A) in paragraph (1), by striking ``and'' at the end;
            (B) in paragraph (2), by striking the period and inserting 
        a semicolon; and
            (C) by adding at the end the following:
        ``(3) the term `individually owned Navajo Indian allotted land' 
    means a single parcel of land that--
            ``(A) is located within the jurisdiction of the Navajo 
        Nation;
            ``(B) is held in trust or restricted status by the United 
        States for the benefit of Navajo Indians or members of another 
        Indian tribe; and
            ``(C) was--
                ``(i) allotted to a Navajo Indian; or
                ``(ii) taken into trust or restricted status by the 
            United States for an individual Indian;
        ``(4) the term `interested party' means an Indian or non-Indian 
    individual or corporation, or tribal or non-tribal government whose 
    interests could be adversely affected by a tribal trust land 
    leasing decision made by the Navajo Nation;
        ``(5) the term `Navajo Nation' means the Navajo Nation 
    government that is in existence on the date of enactment of this 
    Act or its successor;
        ``(6) the term `petition' means a written request submitted to 
    the Secretary for the review of an action (or inaction) of the 
    Navajo Nation that is claimed to be in violation of the approved 
    tribal leasing regulations;
        ``(7) the term `Secretary' means the Secretary of the Interior; 
    and
        ``(8) the term `tribal regulations' means the Navajo Nation 
    regulations enacted in accordance with Navajo Nation law and 
    approved by the Secretary.''; and
        (2) by adding at the end the following:
    ``(e)(1) Any leases by the Navajo Nation for purposes authorized 
under subsection (a), and any amendments thereto, except a lease for 
the exploration, development, or extraction of any mineral resources, 
shall not require the approval of the Secretary if the lease is 
executed under the tribal regulations approved by the Secretary under 
this subsection and the term of the lease does not exceed--
        ``(A) in the case of a business or agricultural lease, 25 
    years, except that any such lease may include an option to renew 
    for up to two additional terms, each of which may not exceed 25 
    years; and
        ``(B) in the case of a lease for public, religious, 
    educational, recreational, or residential purposes, 75 years if 
    such a term is provided for by the Navajo Nation through the 
    promulgation of regulations.
    ``(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to individually owned Navajo 
Indian allotted land.
    ``(3) The Secretary shall have the authority to approve or 
disapprove tribal regulations referred to under paragraph (1). The 
Secretary shall approve such tribal regulations if such regulations are 
consistent with the regulations of the Secretary under subsection (a), 
and any amendments thereto, and provide for an environmental review 
process. The Secretary shall review and approve or disapprove the 
regulations of the Navajo Nation within 120 days of the submission of 
such regulations to the Secretary. Any disapproval of such regulations 
by the Secretary shall be accompanied by written documentation that 
sets forth the basis for the disapproval. Such 120-day period may be 
extended by the Secretary after consultation with the Navajo Nation.
    ``(4) If the Navajo Nation has executed a lease pursuant to tribal 
regulations under paragraph (1), the Navajo Nation shall provide the 
Secretary with--
        ``(A) a copy of the lease and all amendments and renewals 
    thereto; and
        ``(B) in the case of regulations or a lease that permits 
    payment to be made directly to the Navajo Nation, documentation of 
    the lease payments sufficient to enable the Secretary to discharge 
    the trust responsibility of the United States under paragraph (5).
    ``(5) The United States shall not be liable for losses sustained by 
any party to a lease executed pursuant to tribal regulations under 
paragraph (1), including the Navajo Nation. Nothing in this paragraph 
shall be construed to diminish the authority of the Secretary to take 
appropriate actions, including the cancellation of a lease, in 
furtherance of the trust obligation of the United States to the Navajo 
Nation.
    ``(6)(A) An interested party may, after exhaustion of tribal 
remedies, submit, in a timely manner, a petition to the Secretary to 
review the compliance of the Navajo Nation with any regulations 
approved under this subsection. If upon such review the Secretary 
determines that the regulations were violated, the Secretary may take 
such action as may be necessary to remedy the violation, including 
rescinding the approval of the tribal regulations and reassuming 
responsibility for the approval of leases for Navajo Nation tribal 
trust lands.
    ``(B) If the Secretary seeks to remedy a violation described in 
subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall--
        ``(i) make a written determination with respect to the 
    regulations that have been violated;
        ``(ii) provide the Navajo Nation with a written notice of the 
    alleged violation together with such written determination; and
        ``(iii) prior to the exercise of any remedy or the rescission 
    of the approval of the regulation involved and the reassumption of 
    the lease approval responsibility, provide the Navajo Nation with a 
    hearing on the record and a reasonable opportunity to cure the 
    alleged violation.''.
