Yes. If a provision of this part conflicts with the objectives of the agricultural resource management plan provided for in § 161.200, or with a tribal law, BIA may waive the application of this part unless the waiver would either:
(a)Constitute a violation of a federal statute or judicial decision; or
(b)Conflict with BIA's general trust responsibility under federal law.
