Abstract
This rule deletes the requirement for fee-to-trust applicants to furnish title evidence that meets the "Standards for the Preparation of Title Evidence in Land Acquisitions by the United States" issued by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), and replaces the requirement with a more targeted requirement for title evidence, because adherence to the DOJ standards is not required for acquisitions of land in trust for individual Indians or Indian tribes.
