Opportunity Information: Apply for LBBP 2017 1
The FY 2017 Land Buy-Back Program for Tribal Nations aims to implement land consolidation provisions from the Cobell Settlement Agreement, which allocated $1.9 billion to address fractional land interests in Indian country. The program allows individual landowners to sell their land for immediate transfer to the tribes that govern those areas, enhancing tribal sovereignty and enabling tribes to manage their land more effectively.
The program has identified 105 locations for land consolidation activities, including planning, outreach, and appraisals, scheduled to continue through mid-2021. Eligible tribes are encouraged to partner with the program by applying for cooperative agreements, which may leverage their local knowledge and improve program efficiency. While tribes can participate without entering into these agreements, they are invited to consult program staff to refine their applications.
Funding for these cooperative agreements is limited to covering implementation costs, such as outreach and property evaluations, capped at 15% of the total direct costs. Generally, awards will provide assistance for no longer than one year, and tribes are advised to engage with existing tribal offices and resources.
Eligibility is specifically for tribes with jurisdiction over the designated locations where fractional land interests can be purchased. More detailed information can be found on the program's website.Apply for LBBP 2017 1
