SAMPSEL ANNOUNCES MAJOR CHANGES IN BIA’S PROPOSED TRIBAL TAX GUIDELINES: Interior’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs, Roy Sampsel, announced major changes in some controversial proposed regulations on tribal severance taxes. Sampsel talked a t a tribal resource development seminar, sponsored by the Council of Energy Resource Tribes (CERT) at Golden, Colorado September 19. He said that the purpose of the draft regulations was to provide guidance to tribes and BIA superintendents as to what constitutes a legally supportable ordinance and to make a policy statement in support of tribal jurisdiction over non-Indian through mining activity tax ordinances. Sampsel said the draft did neither of these things. Sampsel urged tribal governments an industry leaders to improved communications and work on ways to commonly solve their problems. “The industry representatives must deal with, do business with, the tribal governments just as they do with state governments. They must be expert in their public relations, i.e., in their tribal relations just as they are when they do business with the non- Indian world. They’ve got to learn to lobby the tribes just as they would any other legislative body. Tribes, on the other hand, must be willing to meet and deal with industry. They must not retreat behind an impenetrable Wall of tribal sovereignty from which thev refuse to emerge into the business world.” . , Sampsel said the BIA would work with CERT and the Rocky M ountain Oil and Gas A ssociation and any “tribal representatives who wish to consult with us” to complete the guidelines. ; IIM: The IIM office will be closed October 28 through November 5, 1982.
