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 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
VerDate Nov<24>2008
19:40 Mar 30, 2010
Jkt 220001
25 CFR part 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 the Department of the
Interior to resume management
authority over energy resources on tribal
lands; and
• Ensures that the tribal government
fully endorses any relinquishment of a
TERA.
II. Request for Comments
IEED requests that you send your
comments on this collection to the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section.

minimize the burden of the collection of
the information on the respondents,
such as through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Please note that an agency may not
sponsor or conduct, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it has a valid OMB
Control Number. Response to the
information collection is required to
obtain a benefit.
