25 CFR Part 162


Leases and Permits

CFR Correction

    In Title 25 of the Code of Federal Regulations, revised as of April 
1, 2005, on page 435, part 162 is corrected by reinstating Sec. Sec.  
162.622 and 162.623 to read as follows:


Sec.  162.622  Can BIA take emergency action if the leased premises are 
threatened with immediate and significant harm?

    If a tenant or any other party causes or threatens to cause 
immediate and significant harm to the leased premises during the term 
of a lease, we will take appropriate emergency action. Emergency action 
may include judicial action seeking immediate cessation of the activity 
resulting in or threatening the harm. Reasonable efforts will be made 
to notify the Indian landowners, either before or after the emergency 
action is taken.


Sec.  162.623  What will BIA do if a tenant holds over after the 
expiration or cancellation of a lease?

    If a tenant remains in possession after the expiration or 
cancellation of a lease, we will treat the unauthorized use as a 
trespass. Unless we have reason to believe that the tenant is engaged 
in negotiations with the Indian landowners to obtain a new lease, we 
will take action to recover possession on behalf of the Indian 
landowners, and pursue any additional remedies available under 
applicable law.
