Is this really advantage tribes?

If there isn’t an agreement the tribes would have to jump through hoops and the process has no guarantees that it would be done in time for this season let alone many more seasons to come when it comes to process of a biological opinion as stated below.

“Treaty Indian fisheries, on the other hand, could be addressed through section 7 consultation in the absence of an agreement and regardless of whether non-Indian fisheries were proposed because of their connection with the federal action of BIA funding. However, these circumstances would be unprecedented and require development of completely new documents and analyses. NOAA Fisheries' ability to proceed with a biological opinion would depend first on the tribes providing a clear and comprehensive plan in a timely manner; second, a biological opinion on tribal fisheries that would differ significantly from prior opinions on Puget Sound fisheries; and third, a "new" biological opinion that would likely be subject to the usual, but in this case heightened, legal and policy review sensitized to the unique circumstances. In addition, a separate tribal plan could require a new NEPA assessment by the BIA. While NOAA Fisheries believes proposals for tribal only fisheries could receive ESA approval so long as conservation objectives were being met, it is likely that the analysis and review of the newly-structured proposals would be time consuming, and might not be completed before the proposed fisheries would be over.”
