§ 166.10 - Allocation of grazing privileges.

A tribal governing body may authorize the allocation of grazing privileges without competitive bidding on tribal and tribally controlled Government land to Indian corporations, Indian associations, and adult tribal members of the tribe represented by that governing body. The Superintendent may implement the governing body's allocation program by authorizing the allocation of grazing privileges on individually owned land. The eligibility requirements for allocations shall be prescribed by the governing body, subject to written concurrence of the Superintendent. Where timely action is not taken by the governing body to prescribe satisfactory requirements, the Superintendent shall notify it in writing that it has a 60-day period during which it may present requirements. Subject to the approval of the Area Director, the Superintendent shall prescribe the eligibility requirements after expiration of the 60-day period in the event satisfactory action is not taken by the governing body.
