Do state or local regulations apply to energy resource development on tribal lands?
While there are a number of federal laws, regulations, and Executive Orders that apply to energy development activities, for the most part, state laws and regulations do not apply to energy development on tribal lands. The Laws and Regulations section of the TEEIC Web site presents useful information about federal laws, regulations, and Executive Orders, organized by the potential impact area to which they apply. Laws, regulations, and Executive Orders relevant to particular energy resources are also presented in the Laws and Regulations section of the Energy Resources modules.
