  - (4) [Section 273.142](/cfr/25/273.142.md), regarding advance payments;
  - (5) **Any section in subpart H (other than the following sections, which still apply—** [§ 273.170](/cfr/25/273.170.md), regarding special program provisions to be included in a contract, [§ 273.172](/cfr/25/273.172.md), regarding State employees' access to Tribal lands, reservations or allotments, and [§ 273.182](/cfr/25/273.182.md), regarding penalties for misusing funds or property);
  - (6) Any section in [subpart I](/cfr/25/subpartI.md) (other than [§ 273.194](/cfr/25/273.194.md), regarding the Indian Education Committee's authority to recommend cancellation or suspension of contracts, which still applies);
  - (7) Any section in [subpart K](/cfr/25/subpartK.md) (other than [§ 273.208](/cfr/25/273.208.md)).
- (c) The contract proposal submitted by the Tribal organization must meet the requirements in part [900](/cfr/25/part900.md) or [1000](/cfr/25/part1000.md) of this chapter, in addition to those in [§ 273.130](/cfr/25/273.130.md) except that education plans must be submitted to the BIE Director for approval in accordance with [§ 273.170](/cfr/25/273.170.md). The requirements in part [900](/cfr/25/part900.md) or [1000](/cfr/25/part1000.md) of this chapter apply to contracts and compacts with Tribal organizations, except for the provisions in §§ [900.240 through 900.256](/cfr/25/900.240..900.256.md), [1000.300](/cfr/25/1000.300.md), and [1000.330](/cfr/25/1000.330.md) of this chapter concerning retrocession and reassumption of programs. If a Tribal organization retrocedes a contract, the Bureau will then contract with a State, public school district, or Indian corporation for the supplemental programs or operational support. Redesign and reallocation under either Title I contracts or Title IV compacts must be done with approval in accordance with [§ 900.8(g)(6)](/cfr/25/900.8.md?p=g-6) of this chapter.
