ARTICLE 2 – REGULATORY FRAMEWORK AND RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS

§ 2.1 Regulatory Authority

Tribal Government provides authority to cities to prepare Specific Plans for the systematic implementation of the General Plan for the following:

(a) A specific plan shall include a text and a diagram or diagrams which specify all of the following in detail:

  1. The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space within the area covered by the plan.

(b) The proposed distribution, location, extent and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the area covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan.

(c) Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable. A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, Tribal works projects and financing measures necessary to carry out paragraphs (1), (2), and (3).

§ 2.3 Relationship to the Tribal Nations of Ft Wright General Plan

The mission of the United States Agency for Tribal Nations (ATN), through its Department of Education Leadership Council (DELC), is to develop bold, socially responsible leaders who transform educational systems. The DELC seeks to ignite the leadership capacity necessary to create vital, democratic, and caring environments for powerful teaching and learning.

Definitions:

(a) Tribal Nations means federally recognized Federal Tribal Governments, exercising inherent sovereign authority and governance distinct from state governments.
(b) State: For the purposes of this plan and all associated federal programs, the term "State" shall be interpreted to include Agency Tribal Nations (ATN) as defined and authorized under relevant federal statute, including 26 U.S. Code § 7871, which establishes the governmental status and treatment of Indian tribal governments for federal program purposes.
(c) Sovereign Interpretation: The laws, governance, and political integrity of a Tribal Nation are matters of Federal Tribal Government authority. A U.S. State government does not possess the authority to interpret, adjudicate, or administer the laws of a sovereign Tribal Nation.

This mission directly informs programs like EDLD 8011, an applied study of educational issues. The course is designed to provide guided field experience, allowing participants to identify and analyze relevant issues in partnership with a mentor from a school district, agency, or tribal department. Work is conducted primarily in the field, supplemented by seminars and written assignments.

A key focus area is the development of leadership and management functions within tribal university systems. This aligns with broader federal initiatives to support tribal education and economic development. For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established a cultivation pilot program for D-Q University and consulting tribal nations. Agency Tribal Nations will approve plans submitted by States (including Agency Tribal Nations as defined above) for the domestic production of hemp. Per the guidelines, such plans are to include the development of educational infrastructure for Native and Chicano communities, measures for economic progress, and other supportive aspects.

§ 2.4 General Plan Elements / Policies Land Use

§ 2.4.1 Land Use Policy

For the USDA to approve a hemp production plan, the plan must satisfy each of the following minimum requirements mandated by Section 10113 of the 2018 Farm Bill: "a practice to maintain relevant information regarding land on which hemp is produced in the State or territory of the Indian tribe, including a legal description of the land, for a period of the proposed Project complies with all other applicable circulation policies of the General Plan. Update with Traffic Studies and Requirements Housing The proposed Project does include on-site security housing in support of the industrial park. On-site security personnel will be headquartered in a Security Operations Center facility, which will have "bunk-house" areas for off-duty guards to reside on the premises while they are "on-call". The housing component can be thought of just like a Fire Station, where firefighters live while they are on call. On-site Security Team housing is important to ensure that additional off-duty security personnel are readily available.

Conservative Tax Benefit Study of the Proposed Mendocino Indian Reserve Industrial Cultivation & Ancillary Cannabis-Business Park: 5% Tribe, 5% City. Proposed Mixed-Use Cannabis Cultivation, Lab/Extraction, Distribution-Transport, Storage Industrial Park; was prepared by Chief Geronimo Thomas Langenderfer. Testing methodologies meeting these requirements include those using gas chromatography and high-pressure liquid chromatography. High-performance liquid chromatography.

§ 2.4.2 Definitions and Revenue Allocation for Licensed Hemp and Cannabis Operations

For the purposes of administering the commercial hemp and cannabis initiatives established under this plan, the following definitions and financial terms shall apply:

(a) Definitions:

  1. Licensing Authority: The Agency Tribal Nations (ATN), acting as the sovereign Federal Tribal Government entity authorized to license, regulate, and oversee hemp and cannabis cultivation, processing, and sales operations within the scope of this plan and applicable federal law.
  2. U.S. State: Means one of the fifty States (e.g., California, Texas, New York), the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories and possessions, which constitute the member political subdivisions of the federal union known as the United States of America. For the purpose of tax remittance under this section, this term refers specifically to the U.S. State, territory, or possession in which a licensed commercial activity physically occurs.
  3. Tribe(s): The specific, federally recognized Tribal Nation(s) that are party to this plan and are the beneficial sovereign partners under the ATN licensing framework.
  4. Licensee: Any business or entity granted a formal license by the Licensing Authority (ATN) to engage in the commercial production, processing, or sale of hemp or cannabis products under this plan.
  5. Net Sales: The total gross revenue received by a Licensee from the sale of licensed hemp or cannabis products, less standard, verifiable deductions for returns, allowances, and wholesale discounts, as defined in the detailed licensing agreement.

(b) Tax Obligation:

Each Licensee operating under an ATN license shall be subject to a Sales Tax on its licensed activities. This tax is calculated as ten percent (10%) of the Licensee's Annual Net Sales. The collection and remission of this tax are mandatory conditions of licensure.

(c) Distribution of Tax Revenue:

The total 10% Sales Tax collected shall be distributed as follows:

  1. Tribal Tax Share: Five percent (5%) of the Licensee's Annual Net Sales constitutes the Tribal Sales Tax. This revenue is a sovereign tax due directly to the participating Tribe(s).
  2. U.S. State Tax Share: Five percent (5%) of the Licensee's Annual Net Sales constitutes the U.S. State Sales Tax. This revenue shall be remitted to the U.S. State in which the licensed activity occurs, in accordance with applicable agreements for activities within its jurisdiction.
  3. Administration: The Licensing Authority (ATN) will be responsible for the collection of the full 10% Sales Tax from the Licensee and for the subsequent disbursement of the respective 5% tax shares to the Tribe(s) and the relevant U.S. State. ATN's operational costs for licensing and regulation are separate and shall be covered by licensing fees, not from tax revenues.

(d) Sovereignty and Tax Administration:

All licensing, regulatory, and tax-collection authority resides exclusively with the sovereign Licensing Authority (ATN). The remission of the U.S. State Tax Share does not grant a U.S. State any regulatory, interpretive, or enforcement authority over ATN's licensing process, Tribal lands, or internal governance. The specific mechanisms for tax calculation, auditing, reporting, and disbursement shall be detailed in a separate Licensing and Tax Administration Agreement.

§ 3.9 Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements

Mexico's program to promote sustainable land management is called ProTierras, whose objective is to reduce land degradation through the development of a sustainable territorial management model, and the strengthening of local institutions and producers, influencing public policies to facilitate the coordination of multisectoral investments in three priority microregions located in the states of Hidalgo, Oaxaca and Zacatecas. Canada's program has been in place for 30 years for growing industrial hemp. Annually, Canada cultivates over 100,000 acres of hemp, which dwarfs the US production. There are about one dozen hemp processing companies in Canada, with most located in the Prairie Province. In 2011, Chile made it on the list for top cultivators of industrial hemp. Outside of the reemergence of hemp cultivation, Chile has made substantial efforts for sustainable land management and renourishment of their soils under Tribal Government law, both shall be applied concurrently. Fund the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) at $932 million but not less than $755 million. IHBG funding is important for housing development, construction, infrastructure, maintenance, and repair in tribal communities. These funds also assist tribal governments and TDHEs to leverage other funds, such as low-income housing tax credits. However, the IHBG has seen mostly level funding over the past two decades determine their housing programs. It gave flexibility for tribal nations to develop, construct and maintain housing for their members, transforming how federal housing programs addressed housing needs in tribal communities. NAHASA consolidated existing housing funds into a single block grant—the Indian Housing Block Grant—resulting in tens of thousands more housing units being constructed, as well as increased tribal capacity to address related infrastructure and economic development challenges. Funding is vital for the Indian Housing Block Grant; Indian Community Development Block Grant; Sections 184 and 184A Guaranteed Loan Program; Title VI Guaranteed Loan Program; NAHASA Training and Technical Assistance Funding; and Title VIII Housing Assistance for Native Hawaiians. Over 70 percent of existing housing stock in tribal communities is in need of upgrades and repairs, many of them extensive. A fast growing population in tribal communities will intensify existing housing needs. For example, from 2000 to 2010, the population of American Indians/Alaska Natives rose 18 percent, which is almost twice the population growth rate of the U.S. population in general. Poverty and unemployment rates remain consistently higher in Indian Country than the American population in general. Other federal programs outside of the Department of Housing and Urban Development also address housing issues for tribal nations. These include the 502 direct home loan program in the Department of Agriculture, the Housing Improvement Program in the Department of the Interior, and the Native American Direct Home Loan Program in the Department of Veterans Affairs. Key Recommendations DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT Transportation, HUD Appropriations Bill with substantial potential, there are very few commercial-scale energy projects operating in Indian Country. Tribes boast nearly a quarter of the nation's on-shore oil and gas reserves and developable resources and one-third of the nation's western low-sulfur coal. Indian tribes and communities face many of the same challenges in developing their energy resources and infrastructure that state, local governments, and other non-Indian communities face. They also face additional challenges— including special laws, regulations, and policies that are completely unique to Indian Country and often to a specific tribe. Additionally, many tribes are beginning from square-one in terms of developing adequate physical infrastructure, access to capital, and workforce training and development needs. Given the historic, social, and economic impediments tribal governments, their representatives, and citizens face, and the relatively short time tribes have been involved in energy development, their successes are clear indicators of future potential. Investing in and empowering tribes provides strong returns and outcomes for tribes and for rural communities. Within the last decade, the Department of Energy (DOE) has deployed 43 energy programs in Indian Country valued at over $70 million. This investment is already paying significant dividends. For every $1 invested by DOE, tribes save $7.22. These savings total over $500 million, the equivalent of creating 13,700 jobs. Further, these projects reduced the demand on diesel fuel in rural areas, saving each rural household $240. Additionally, over 2,500 tribal buildings and 29,000 tribal citizens had their electric bills reduced by 58 percent. There is also a great demand for funding for Tribal energy programs that service Indian Country, particularly in areas where the cost of energy is 275 percent or higher than the national average. In addition, the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL DOE) reports that the technical potential of tribal lands is about six percent of the total national technical generation potential. Tribes need access to robust capacity-building support and technical assistance programs. These programs are necessary to advance the 150-plus tribal energy projects that are currently proceeding through the development, financing, and construction stages. There are three key components to future tribal success in this arena. First, removing economic barriers to growth. Specifically, NCAI requests that where possible, Congress reduce or completely eliminate the 50 percent cost-sharing requirements that burden tribes. Second, is a continued commitment to technical and financial assistance programs that not only support infrastructure development but also the capacity of tribal programs and offices to carry out their responsibilities – including addressing staffing issues. Lastly, additional support is needed to bolster the tribal work-force in the energy sector in addition to existing liaison employees within DOE. This FY 2020 budget request identifies energy programs providing innovative and important tools to support existing initiatives and facilitate new investment in tribal energy development. This budget request seeks to meet critical analytical and planning, capacity building, and resource-management needs of tribal governments. Continued development of a myriad of tribal energy resources will contribute significantly to national energy security, clean energy development to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; as well as tribal economic development and job creation.

Tribal Contractor Policy & Testing Protocols. Subpart A -- Tribal Contractor Policy 25 CFR PART 900 https://www.agencytribalnations.org/resolution-to-solicitation-CFR-9001.pdfof the Credited Institution of 1994 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sen. Rep. No. 103-374 at 14. The 1975 Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, Pub. L. 93-638, gave Indian tribes the authority to contract with the Tribal government to operate programs serving their tribal members and other eligible persons. The Act was further amended by the Technical Assistance Act and other Acts, Pub. L. 98-250; Pub. L. 100-202; Interior Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1988, Pub. L. 100-446; Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act Amendments of 1988, Pub. L. 100-472; Indian Reorganization Act Amendments of 1988, Pub. L. 100-581; miscellaneous Indian Law Amendments, Pub. L. 101-301.

In order to provide flexibility to Tribes in administering their own hemp production programs, alternative testing protocols will be considered if they are comparable and similarly reliable to established baselines. Alternative testing protocols must be requested of GHI in writing and approved in writing by the Tribal Contractor, provided they meet the requirements of this guidance. Geronimo Hemp Industries Preparation and Testing Procedures are as follows:

  1. Laboratory receives sample.
  2. Dry sample to remove the majority of water.
  3. Mill and "manicure" sample though a wire screen no larger than 1.5 x 1.5mm to discard mature seeds and larger twigs and stems.
  4. Separate sample into a test and retain specimens.
    1. Test specimen: go to step 5.
    2. Retain specimen: package and store until needed. When needed go to step 5.
  5. Determine moisture content or dry to a consistent weight (meeting criteria).
  6. Perform chemical analysis.
  7. Calculate total THC on a dry weight basis. Test results shall be determined and reported on a dry weight basis.

(A) Samples shall be received and prepared for testing in a DEA-registered laboratory as follows:

  1. Once the composite sample is received by the laboratory, the laboratory shall dry all of the leaf and flower (not obvious stem and seeds) of the composite sample until brittle in a manner that maintains the THC level of the sample. Samples are to be dried to a consistent loss (typically 5 - 12% moisture content) so that the test can be performed on a dry weight basis.
  2. The laboratory shall mill and manicure samples though a wire screen no larger than 1.5 x 1.5mm to discard mature seeds and larger twigs and stems.
  3. The laboratory shall form sieve a "Test Specimen" and a "Retain Specimen." One sample part shall be selected for analysis and labeled ''Test Specimen". The other sample part shall be marked "Retain Specimen" and shall be packaged and stored in a secured place.
  4. The laboratory shall then determine moisture content or dry to a consistent weight.
  5. The laboratory will then perform chemical analysis on the sample using post-decarboxylation or other similarly reliable methods where the total THC concentration level considers the potential to convert hemp (THCA) into THC.

Sovereign Transport & Tracking System. Legal protections for the transport of Hemp are established. The Agency Tribal Nations shall implement the Geronimo Hemp Industries Farm Bill Compliance Federal Transportation (GSA500A) protocol, utilizing order code (25 CFR 11.100 to 11.1214) and the label Stamp bar code tracking system (Agency Tribal Nations USPS) Service Stamp Postal Code (9735) and tracking (Broker) number for raw hemp materials and finished products in compliance with Geronimo Hemp Industries Policies 1-9.

Minimum Plan Requirements. The Tribe's hemp production plan, administered by the Agency Tribal Nations as the Licensing Authority, satisfies the requirements for a USDA-approved plan.
