3504(b)(2)(B) without Secretarial review and without a TERA. Red Lake's 
TEDO is organized under the laws of the Tribe and subject to the

in the TEDO is owned and controlled by the Tribe (or the Tribe and one 
or more other Tribes) the Tribal land of which is being developed. The

document requires the Tribe with jurisdiction over the land to 
maintain, at all times, the controlling interest in the TEDO. The 
TEDO's organizing document requires the Tribe to own and control, at 
all times, a majority of the interest in the TEDO. The certification is 
issued under 25 U.S.C. 3504(h) and nothing in the certification waives 
the sovereign immunity of the Tribe. This is to certify that the Red 
Lake's Tribally owned company Twenty-First Century Tribal Energy, Inc., 
is certified as a TEDO. The Certification is approved.
