SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
The Energy Policy Act of 2005, 25
U.S.C. 3503 authorizes the Secretary of
the Interior to approve individual Tribal
Energy Resource Agreements (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 selfdetermination. 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
25 CFR 224 will allow IEED to
determine the capacity of tribes to
manage the development of energy

• 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.
