# 224.173 How does a Tribe rescind a TERA?

To rescind a TERA, a Tribe must submit to the Secretary a written Tribal resolution or other official action of the Tribe's governing body approving the voluntary rescission of the TERA. Upon rescission, the Tribe must also return all Departmental resources transferred under the TERA and any relevant records and documents.
