TITLE 25--INDIANS
CHAPTER 12--LEASE, SALE, OR SURRENDER OF ALLOTTED OR UNALLOTTED LANDS
Sec. 416b. Development pursuant to lease
(a) Notice requirements prior to approval of lease
The Secretary of the Interior shall, before he approves any lease
under sections 416 to 416j of this title for public, religious,
educational, recreational, business, or residential purposes and if he
determines that such lease will substantially affect the governmental
interests of a municipality described hereunder, notify the appropriate
authorities of any municipality contiguous to the San Xavier or Salt
River Pima-Maricopa Reservation, as the case may be, of the pendency of
the proposed lease and, in his discretion, furnish them with an outline
of the major provisions of the lease which affect such governmental
interests and shall consider any comments on the terms of the lease
affecting the municipality, or on the absence of such terms from the
lease, that such authorities may offer within such reasonable period,
but not more than thirty days, as the Secretary may prescribe in his
notice to them.
(b) Development by non-Indian lessees
It is the intent of the Congress that the terms under which lands
located on the San Xavier and Salt River Pima-Maricopa Reservations are
developed by non-Indian lessees shall, to the extent reasonably
possible, be similar to those applicable under State or local law to the
development of non-Indian lands in the municipalities contiguous
thereto.
