CHAPTER 12--LEASE, SALE, OR SURRENDER OF ALLOTTED OR UNALLOTTED LANDS
Sec. 416. Leases of trust or restricted lands on San Xavier and
Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Reservations for public,
religious, educational, recreational, residential, business,
farming or grazing purposes
Any trust or restricted Indian lands, whether tribally or
individually owned, located on the San Xavier Indian Reservation and the
Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Reservation, in the State of Arizona,
may be leased by the Indian owners, with the approval of the Secretary
of the Interior, for public, religious, educational, recreational,
residential, business, farming or grazing purposes, including the
development or utilization of natural resources in connection with
operations under such leases, but no lease shall be executed under
sections 416 to 416j of this title for purposes that are subject to the
laws governing mining leases on Indian lands. The term of a grazing
lease shall not exceed ten years, the term of a farming lease that does
not require the making of a substantial investment in the improvement of
the land shall not exceed ten years, and the term of a farming lease
that requires the making of a substantial investment in the improvement
of the land shall not exceed forty years. The term of any other lease
shall not exceed ninety-nine years. No lease shall contain an option to
renew which, if exercised, will extend the total term beyond the maximum
term permitted by sections 416 to 416j of this title. The Secretary of
the Interior shall not approve any lease with a term that is longer than
is necessary in his judgment to obtain maximum economic benefits for the
Indian owners.
