The approval deadlines do not apply where the applicant is an Indian tribe
The document says “shall not”Who acts: applicable Bureau officeHow: statuteSec. 3 in the PDF
What the document says
“This paragraph shall not apply to a residential leasehold mortgage or business leasehold mortgage with respect to Indian land in cases in which the applicant for the residential leasehold mortgage or business leasehold mortgage is an Indian tribe”
The approval deadlines in paragraph (3) do not run for a leasehold mortgage where the applicant is an Indian tribe that has been approved for leasing under the Act of 1955 the section cites (25 U.S.C. 415). That Act is not indexed here, so nothing recorded here says what its leasing approval involves.
What the document actually says
“This paragraph shall not apply to a residential leasehold mortgage or business leasehold mortgage with respect to Indian land in cases in which the applicant for the residential leasehold mortgage or business leasehold mortgage is an Indian tribe”
That sentence, in plain words
These deadlines do not apply when the one asking for the lease loan is a tribe.
What this is about
The tribe must first be approved to lease under an older law from 1955. That older law is not indexed here.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
