25 CFR § 166.2
Can the BIA waive the application of these regulations?
February 24, 2021
Yes. In any case in which these regulations conflict with the objectives of the agricultural resource management plan provided for in §166.311 of this part, or with a tribal law, the BIA may waive the application of such regulations unless the waiver would constitute a violation of a federal statute or judicial decision or would conflict with the BIA's general trust responsibility under federal law.
