Application of governing law

The negotiation, execution, and flexible administration of all self-determination or self-governance agreements authorized under this paragraph (7) shall be governed by the requirements of title I with respect to self-determination agreements, or title IV with respect to self-governance agreements, of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 and the regulations duly promulgated thereunder by the Department of the Interior. The application of such statutory and regulatory provisions shall be adapted to the Department of Agriculture programs, functions, services, and activities only with the negotiated consent of the Indian entity affected, on a case by case basis. All such adaptations shall adhere to the rule of construction in section 406(i) of such Act (25 U.S.C. 5366(i)) that each provision shall be liberally construed for the benefit of the Indian entity and any ambiguity shall be resolved in factor of the Indian entity.
