(OMB) for renewal pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act. The
information collection is currently
authorized by OMB Control Number
1076–0167, which expires March 31,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub.
L. 109–58) authorizes the Secretary to
approve individual TERAs. The intent
of these agreements is to promote tribal
oversight and management of energy
and mineral resource development on
tribal lands and further the goal of
Indian self-determination. A TERA
offers a tribe an entirely new alternative
for developing energy-related business
agreements and awarding leases and
granting rights-of-way for energy
facilities without having to obtain
further approval from the Secretary.

This information collection
conducted under TERA regulations at
25 CFR 224 will allow IEED to
determine the capacity of tribes to
manage the development of energy
resources on tribal lands. Information
collected:
• Enables IEED to engage in a
consultation process with tribes that is
designed to foster optimal pre-planning
of development proposals and speed up
the review and approval process for
TERA agreements;
• Provides wide public notice and
opportunity for review of TERA
agreements by the public, industry, and
government agencies;
• Ensures that the public has an
avenue for review of the performance of
tribes in implementing a TERA;
• Creates a process for preventing
damage to sensitive resources as well as
ensuring that the public has fully
communicated with the tribe in the
petition process;
• Ensures that a tribe is fully aware of
any attempt by DOI to resume
management authority over energy
resources on tribal lands; and
• Ensures that the tribal government
fully endorses any relinquishment of a
TERA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The USGS is currently conducting a
‘‘proof-of-concept’’ project to develop a
series of linked physical, biological and
socioeconomic models to address global
climate change in the Yakima River
Basin (YRB). In support of this effort,
the USGS acknowledges that there is a
need to better understand the Yakama
Nation’s cultural connection and
interactions with the resources of the
YRB. We are working with tribal
liaisons to develop a roster of potential
Yakama Nation members to participate
in a series of in-depth interviews. The
anticipated outcome of the interviews
will be critical information that is
missing for YRB water resource
management decisions.
