# §224.184. How do other administrative appeals processes apply?


The administrative appeals process in 25 CFR part [2](/cfr/25/part2.md) and [43](/cfr/25/part43.md) CFR [part 4](/cfr/25/part4.md) are modified, only as they apply to appeals under this part, as set forth in this section.

- (a) The definition of interested party in [25 CFR part 2](/cfr/25/part2.md) and as incorporated in [43 CFR part 4](/cfr/43/part4.md) does not apply to this part.
- (b) The right of persons or entities other than an appealing party to participate in appeals under 25 CFR part [2](/cfr/25/part2.md) and [43](/cfr/25/part43.md) CFR [part 4](/cfr/25/part4.md) does not apply to this part, except as permitted under [paragraph (c)](#c) of this section.
- (c) The only persons or entities, other than appealing parties, under [§ 224.181(a) to (c)](/cfr/25/224.181.md?p=a..c), who may participate in an appeal under this part are:
  - (1) The Secretary, if an appeal is taken from a decision of the Secretary or Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs;
  - (2) A Tribe, which may intervene, appear as an amicus curiae, or otherwise appear in any appeal taken under this part by a person or entity who has entered into a lease, business agreement, or right-of-way with the Tribe or by an interested party under this part; or
  - (3) A person or entity that has entered into a lease, business agreement, or right-of-way with a Tribe, may intervene, appear as an amicus curiae, or otherwise appear in any appeal taken under this part by the Tribe or by an interested party under this part.
- (d) The Secretary does not have an obligation to provide notice and service upon non-appealing persons as provided in 25 CFR part [2](/cfr/25/part2.md) and [43](/cfr/25/part43.md) CFR [part 4](/cfr/25/part4.md). The only exception to this principle is that notice and service of all documents must be served consistent with the requirements of 25 CFR part [2](/cfr/25/part2.md) and [43](/cfr/25/part43.md) CFR [part 4](/cfr/25/part4.md) on those persons or entities identified in [paragraph (c)](#c) of this section.
