The Bureau of Land Management sells Indian lands, and the money goes to the tribe. The public lands service cannot take its own expenses out of these sale proceeds. This rule only bends if a treaty or agreement specifically allows deductions.

When the Bureau of Land Management sells Indian lands, it collects money from the sale. Normally, no part of the public lands service's own operating expenses can be subtracted from that sale money. The only exception is if a treaty or agreement about how to dispose of that land specifically allows such a deduction.

No part of the expenses of the public lands service shall be deducted from the proceeds of Indian lands sold through the Bureau of Land Management, except as authorized by the treaty or agreement providing for the disposition of the lands.
