This subpart explains the process and requirements under which a Tribe may rescind a TERA and therefore return to the Secretary all authority and activities assumed under that TERA.
Only a Tribe may rescind a TERA.
No. A Tribe may only rescind a TERA in its entirety, including the authority to approve leases, business agreements and grant rights-of-way for specific energy resource development, not some of the authority or activities subject to the TERA.
To rescind a TERA, a Tribe must submit to the Secretary a written Tribal resolution or other official action of the Tribe's governing body approving the voluntary rescission of the TERA. Upon rescission, the Tribe must also return all Departmental resources transferred under the TERA and any relevant records and documents.
A voluntary rescission becomes effective on the date specified by the Secretary, provided that the date is no more than 90 days after the Secretary receives the Tribal resolution or other official action the Tribe submits under § 224.173.
Rescission does not affect valid existing rights that vested before the effective date of the rescission or lawful actions the Tribe and the Secretary took before the effective date of the rescission.
