Sec. 640d-2. Implementation of agreements
(a) Full agreement
If, within one hundred and eighty days after the first session
scheduled by the Mediator under section 640d-1(c) of this title, full
agreement is reached, such agreement shall be put in such form as the
Mediator determines best expresses the intent of the tribes and shall
then be submitted to the Secretary and the Attorney General of the
United States for their comments as they relate to the interest of the
United States in the proceedings. These comments are to be submitted to
the Mediator and the negotiating teams within thirty days. The
negotiating teams and the Mediator shall then consider the comments and,
if agreement can still be reached on terms acceptable to the negotiating
teams and the Mediator within sixty days of receipt by him of the
comments, the agreement shall be put in final written form and shall be
signed by the members of the negotiating teams and the Mediator. The
Mediator shall then cause the agreement to be entered into the records
of the supplemental proceedings in the Healing case. The provisions of
the agreement shall be reviewed by the District Court, modified where
necessary, and put into effect immediately thereafter.
(b) Partial agreement
If, within the one hundred and eighty day period referred to in
subsection (a) of this section, a partial agreement has been reached
between the tribes and they wish such partial agreement to go into
effect, they shall follow the procedure set forth in subsection (a) of
this section. The partial agreement shall then be considered by the
Mediator in preparing his report, and the District Court in making a
final adjudication, pursuant to section 640d-3 of this title.
(c) Consistency with existing law
For the purpose of this section, the negotiating teams may make any
provision in the agreement or partial agreement not inconsistent with
existing law. No such agreement or any provision in it shall result in a
taking by the United States of private property compensable under the
Fifth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
