Sec. 151.7  When does land attain trust status?

    After the Secretary has published a notice of intent to take the 
land into trust pursuant to Sec. 151.6(c)(2), the time period for appeal 
has run, and all title objections have been cleared, we will approve or 
issue the appropriate instrument of conveyance. Only after these steps 
have been completed will the land attain trust status. The approved deed 
will then be recorded in the county where located, title evidence will 
be updated, a final title opinion will be issued and the deed will be 
recorded in the appropriate Bureau of Indian Affairs Land Titles and 
Records Office under part 150 of this chapter.
