Dear Mayor Rose:
We are in receipt of your letter dated March 13, 2018, stating your opposition to the Osage
Nation's announced intention to acquire land in trust in the Cuba, Missouri area. Currently, no
fee-to-trust land acquisition application has been filed by the Osage Nation for consideration by
this office.
Should we receive an application, it will be reviewed in accordance with the regulations of Title
25 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 151 - Land Acquisitions. These regulations include
requirements for requesting comments from the state and local governments on the impacts of
proposed land acquisitions into trust, as well as, providing appeal rights to those parties who may
be adversely affected by a decision to approve or deny the application.
If you have further questions, please contact Mr. Randall Trickey, Regional Realty Officer, at
(615) 564-6770.
Sincerely,
