Or...
Maybe we need to sue the BIA to force them to justify why they need to put a check mark on the Tribes permit applications before sending it on to NOAA.. Remember, it's that extra federal agency step that forces NOAA to fast track the tribal permits. Without the BIA step, we are all on the same level playing field as far as waiting on NOAA.
