PUBLIC NOTICE - UMATILLA TRIBAL LAND BUY-BACK PROGRAM
UMATILLA LAND BUY-BACK PROGRAM AN-
NOUNCES WAVE 1 – 150 PRIORITY ALLOT-
MENTS FOR ACQUISITION.
The Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla In-
dian Reservation’s Board
of Trustees provided guid-
ance, through Resolution
12-074 and 13-047, in pri-
oritizing 400 allotments on
the Umatilla Indian Reser-
vation for acquisition
through the Department
of Interior Land Buy Back
Program (DOI Program).
In developing the pri-
orities the following was
considered:
· Culturally sensitive al-
lotments including cem-
eteries and access to cem-
eteries
· Highly fractionated
allotments owned by non-
CTUIR members
· Highly fractionated
allotments with mixed own-
ership
· Allotments where
CTUIR’s ownership is
over 50%
· Allotments which
CTUIR’s departments or
programs designated as
priority (for example: for
physical access to CTUIR’s
fee property, for possible
further developments for
public utilities or public
use, etc.)
· Willing sellers
· 232 Mineral only al-
lotments
What is the Land
Buy-Back Program?
The Cobell Settlement
became effective on Nov.
24, 2012. As part of the
Cobell Settlement, the
DOI Land Buy-Back Pro-
gram received $1.5 billion
for purchasing undivided
trusts interest in trust al-
lotments owned by indi-
vidual Indians. The end result
is meant to reduce the level
of fractionation in trust allot-
ment land titles across Indian
Country. The DOI Program
will only purchase interests
from individual owners who
are willing to sell and return
those interests to the tribe
with jurisdiction over the al-
lotment. The DOI Program
has until Nov. 2022 to pur-
chase these interests.
How is the CTUIR in-
volved?
In May 2014, the CTUIR
and DOI signed a Coopera-
tive Agreement where the
Umatilla Tribal Land Buy
Back Program (Umatilla
LBBP) agreed to conduct
three of the four compo-
nents of the DOI Program
plan: Outreach, Land Char-
acteristics and Appraisals.
Out of 150 fractionated
reservations in the United
States, the Umatilla Indian
Reservation (UIR) is the 28 th
most fractionated reserva-
tion. The Umatilla LBBP goal
is help consolidate the UIR
trust land base for the ben-
eficial use of the CTUIR as
a sovereign nation.
How is the Department
of Interior Land-Buy Pro-
gram involved in the
CTUIR
Cooperative
Agreement?
The DOI Program will
mail the Offer Packet to land-
owners as the fourth compo-
nent of the Cooperative
Agreement with the CTUIR.
The offer packet will in-
clude: 1) Cover letter and
Instructions; 2) Deed (must
be notarized); 3) Purchasable
Interests Inventory; and 4)
Tract Maps. A postage-paid
envelope is also included.
Landowners must decide
fairly quickly on whether to
accept the DOI offer because
the offer is good for 45 days
after the date on the cover
letter. Landowners will be paid
the fair market value for the
tracts if they choose to sell,
plus an additional payment of
$75 for taking the time to
complete the offer package.
The DOI purchases the
undivided trust interests with
the Cobell Settlement funds
that were set aside to reduce
the level of fractionation on
Indian reservations. The in-
terests purchased from these
funds will be held in trust for
the CTUIR.
How is the Fair Market
Value of the land deter-
mined?
An appraisal by a licensed
appraiser will determine the
Fair Market Value that will
be offered for purchase of
all individual interests. An
appraisal is an act or process
of developing an opinion of
value by researching many
factors, including location,
local market values, condition
of the property and sales of
comparable properties lo-
cated near the subject prop-
erty.
On June 15, 2014, the
Umatilla LBBP completed
and submitted the first 150
appraisals to the Office of
Special Trustees Office of
Appraisal Services (OAS) for
review and completion.
The Umatilla LBBP antici-
pates the first round of offer
packages may be mailed in
September after the OAS
completes their review on the
150 allotment appraisals and
the BIA has calculated values
for the 232 mineral only al-
lotments.
Umatilla LBBP will com-
plete the appraisals of the
400 allotments in three
Waves. The appraisals will be
completed and submitted to
OAS following this timeline:
Wave Appraisal Dead-
line: June 30, 2014. Num-
ber of Allotments: 150.
