25 CFR 224.137: What must the Secretary do if a Tribe's noncompliance has resulted in harm or the potential for harm to a physical trust asset?

If, because of the Tribe's noncompliance with Federal law or the terms of a TERA, the Secretary determines that there is harm or the potential for harm to a physical trust asset that does not rise to the level of imminent jeopardy to a physical trust asset, the Secretary must:

(a) Document the issue in the written report of the review and evaluation;

(b) Report the issue in writing to the Tribal governing body;

(c) Report the issue in writing to the Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs; and

(d) Determine what action, if any, the Secretary must take to protect the physical trust asset, which could include temporary suspension of the activity that resulted in non-compliance with the TERA or other applicable Federal laws or rescinding approval of all or part of the TERA.
