    (a) These regulations govern the operation of the Food Stamp Program 

on Indian reservations either separately or concurrently with the Food 

distribution program. In order to assure that the Food Stamp Program is 

responsive to the needs of Indians on reservations, State agencies are 

required to consult with Indian tribal organizations about the 

implementation and operation of the Food Stamp Program on reservations. 

Also, under certain specified conditions Indian tribal organizations on 

reservations can administer the Food Stamp Program. The Act authorizes 

the Secretary to pay such amounts for administrative costs as are 

determined to be necessary for the effective operation of the Food Stamp 

Program on Indian reservations.

    (b) The operation of the Food Stamp Program on Indian reservations 

is governed by all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Food 

Stamp Act of 1977 as amended and the regulations of this chapter.

    (c) Additionally, under no circumstances shall any household 

participate simultaneously in the Food Stamp Program and the Food 

Distribution Program. Policy governing this prohibition is found in 

Sec. 283.7(e).
