§ 162.18 - Colorado River Reservation.

The Act of April 30, 1964 (78 Stat. 188), fixed the beneficial ownership of the Colorado River Reservation in the Colorado River Indian Tribes of the Colorado River Reservation and authorized the Secretary of the Interior to approve leases of said lands for such uses and terms as are authorized by the Act of August 9, 1955 (69 Stat. 539), as amended (25 U.S.C. 415, et seq.), including the same uses and terms as are permitted thereby on the Agua Caliente (Palm Springs), Dania, Navajo, and Southern Ute Reservations. Regulations in this part 162 govern leasing under the Act of August 9, 1955. Therefore, part 162 shall also govern the leasing of lands on the Colorado River Reservation: Provided, however, That application of this part 162 shall not extend to any lands lying west of the present course of the Colorado River and south of sec. 12 of T. 5 S., R. 23 E., San Bernardino base and meridian in California and shall not be construed to affect the resolution of any controversy over the location of the boundary of the Colorado River Reservation; Provided further, That any of the described lands in California shall be subject to the provisions of this part 162 when and if determined to be within the reservation.
