                            TITLE 25--INDIANS
 
  CHAPTER 12--LEASE, SALE, OR SURRENDER OF ALLOTTED OR UNALLOTTED LANDS
 
Sec. 416b. Development pursuant to lease


(a) Notice requirements prior to approval of lease

    The Secretary of the Interior shall, before he approves any lease 
under sections 416 to 416j of this title for public, religious, 
educational, recreational, business, or residential purposes and if he 
determines that such lease will substantially affect the governmental 
interests of a municipality described hereunder, notify the appropriate 
authorities of any municipality contiguous to the San Xavier or Salt 
River Pima-Maricopa Reservation, as the case may be, of the pendency of 
the proposed lease and, in his discretion, furnish them with an outline 
of the major provisions of the lease which affect such governmental 
interests and shall consider any comments on the terms of the lease 
affecting the municipality, or on the absence of such terms from the 
lease, that such authorities may offer within such reasonable period, 
but not more than thirty days, as the Secretary may prescribe in his 
notice to them.

(b) Development by non-Indian lessees

    It is the intent of the Congress that the terms under which lands 
located on the San Xavier and Salt River Pima-Maricopa Reservations are 
developed by non-Indian lessees shall, to the extent reasonably 
possible, be similar to those applicable under State or local law to the 
development of non-Indian lands in the municipalities contiguous 
thereto.
