Sec. 2.5  Appeal bond.

    (a) If a person believes that he/she may suffer a measurable and 
substantial financial loss as a direct result of the delay caused by an 
appeal, that person may request that the official before whom the appeal 
is pending require the posting of a reasonable bond by the appellant 
adequate to protect against that financial loss.
    (b) A person requesting that a bond be posted bears the burden of 
proving the likelihood that he/she may suffer a measurable and 
substantial financial loss as a direct result of the delay caused by the 
appeal.
    (c) In those cases in which the official before whom an appeal is 
pending determines that a bond is necessary to protect the financial 
interests of an Indian or Indian tribe, that official may require the 
posting of a bond on his/her own initiative.
    (d) Where the official before whom an appeal is pending requires a 
bond to be posted or denies a request that a bond be posted, he/she 
shall give notice of his/her decision pursuant to Sec. 2.7.
