FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ms. Johnna Blackhair, Deputy Bureau Director, Office of Trust Services, Washington DC 20240, (202) 809-2069.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A TEDO Certification allows the Tribe to enter into a lease or business agreement with the TEDO under 25 U.S.C. 3504(a)(2) or a right-of-way with the TEDO under 25 U.S.C. 3504(b)(2)(B) without Secretarial review and without a TERA. Red Lake's TEDO is organized under the laws of the Tribe and subject to the Tribe's jurisdiction, laws, and authority. The majority of the interest in the TEDO is owned and controlled by the Tribe (or the Tribe and one or more other Tribes) the Tribal land of which is being developed. The TEDO's organizing ( printed page 18381) document requires the Tribe with jurisdiction over the land to maintain, at all times, the controlling interest in the TEDO. The TEDO's organizing document requires the Tribe to own and control, at all times, a majority of the interest in the TEDO. The certification is issued under 25 U.S.C. 3504(h) and nothing in the certification waives the sovereign immunity of the Tribe. This is to certify that the Red Lake's Tribally owned company Twenty-First Century Tribal Energy, Inc., is certified as a TEDO. The Certification is approved.

Bryan Newland,

Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs.
