Sec. 2561.0-8  Lands subject to allotment.

    (a) A Native may be granted a single allotment of not to exceed 160 
acres of land. All the lands in an allotment need not be contiguous but 
each separate tract of the allotment should be in reasonably compact 
form.
    (b) In areas where the rectangular survey pattern is appropriate, an 
allotment may be in terms of 40-acre legal subdivisions and survey lots 
on the basis that substantially continuous use and occupancy of a 
significant portion of such smallest legal subdivision shall normally 
entitle the applicant to the full subdivision, absent conflicting 
claims.
    (c) Allotments may be made in national forests if founded on 
occupancy of the land prior to the establishment of the particular 
forest or if an authorized officer of the Department of Agriculture 
certifies that the land in the application for allotment is chiefly 
valuable for agricultural or grazing purposes.
    (d) Lands in applications for allotment and allotments that may be 
valuable for coal, oil, or gas deposits are subject to the regulations 
of Sec. 2093.4 of this chapter.
