(a)Individual Indian landowners may exempt their agricultural land from the application of a tribal leasing policy of a type described in § 162.203(b) through
(c)of this subpart, if the Indian owners of at least 50% of the trust or restricted interests in the land submit a written objection to us before a lease is granted or approved.
(b)Upon our receipt of a written objection from the Indian landowners that satisfies the requirements of paragraph

(c)The procedures described in paragraphs
(a)and
(b)of this section will also apply to withdrawing an approved exemption.
