under the HEARTH Act. With this

enter into the following type of leases
without BIA approval: Business;
residential; agricultural wind and solar
resource; public; religious; educational;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Summary of the HEARTH Act
The HEARTH (Helping Expedite and
Advance Responsible Tribal
Homeownership) Act of 2012 (the Act)
makes a voluntary, alternative land
leasing process available to Tribes, by
amending the Indian Long-Term Leasing
Act of 1955, 25 U.S.C. 415. The Act
authorizes Tribes to negotiate and enter
into agricultural and business leases of
Tribal trust lands with a primary term
of 25 years, and up to two renewal terms
of 25 years each, without the approval
of the Secretary of the Interior. The Act
also authorizes Tribes to enter into
leases for residential, recreational,
religious, or educational purposes for a
primary term of up to 75 years without
the approval of the Secretary.
Participating Tribes develop Tribal
leasing regulations, including an
environmental review process, and then
must obtain the Secretary’s approval of
those regulations prior to entering into
leases. The Act requires the Secretary to
approve Tribal regulations if the Tribal
regulations are consistent with the
Department’s leasing regulations at 25
CFR part 162 and provide for an
environmental review process that
meets requirements set forth in the Act.
This notice announces that the
Secretary, through the Assistant
Secretary—Indian Affairs, has approved
the Tribal regulations for the Ohkay
Owingeh.
II. Federal Preemption of State and
Local Taxes
The Department’s regulations
governing the surface leasing of trust
and restricted Indian lands specify that,
subject to applicable Federal law,
permanent improvements on leased
land, leasehold or possessory interests,
and activities under the lease are not
subject to State and local taxation and
may be subject to taxation by the Indian
Tribe with jurisdiction. See 25 CFR
162.017. As explained further in the
preamble to the final regulations, the
Federal government has a strong interest
