Leases and permits of Indian trust and restricted land under 25 CFR part 162 require BIA approval, and for many lease types the lessee must provide a performance bond. For business leases the bond must be sufficient to secure the obligations — generally at least the highest annual rent, required improvements, O&M, and restoration/reclamation. The bond is payable only to the BIA, with 60 days’ cancellation notice. Confirm your required amount in the lease.
