Sec.  1000.35  When a Tribe withdraws from a Consortium, is the Secretary 
required to award to the withdrawing Tribe a portion of funds associated 
with a construction project if the withdrawing Tribe so requests?

    Under Sec.  1000.32 of this part, a Tribe may withdraw from a 
Consortium and request that the Secretary award the Tribe its portion of 
a construction project's funds. The Secretary may decide not to award 
these funds if the Secretary determines that the award of the 
withdrawing Tribe's portion of funds would affect the ability of the 
remaining members of the Consortium to complete a severable or non-
severable phase of the project within available funding.
    (a) An example of a non-severable phase of a project would be the 
construction of a single building to serve all members of a Consortium.
    (b) An example of a severable phase of a project would be the 
funding of a road in one village where the Consortium would be able to 
complete the roads in other villages that were part of the project 
approved initially in the AFA.
    (c) The Secretary's decision under this section may be appealed 
under Sec.  1000.428 of these regulations.
