Sec. 598.500  Indian reservations.


    (a) An area within an Indian reservation (as defined in section 
168(j)(6) if the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 168(j)(6)) may be 
included in an area nominated as an Empowerment Zone by State and local 
governments. An area completely within an Indian reservation may be 
nominated by the reservation governing body and, in that case, the area 
is treated as if it also were nominated by a State and a local 
government. Where two (or more) governing bodies have joint jurisdiction 
over an Indian reservation, the nomination of a reservation area must be 
a joint nomination.
    (b) For purposes of paragraph (a) of this section, a reservation 
governing body must be the governing body of an Indian entity recognized 
and eligible to receive services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, 
United States Department of Interior.
