(1) Written notice included in a notice of our intent to lease the land, issued under § 162.209(b) of this subpart;  or

(2) Public notice posted at the tribal community building or the United States Post Office, or published in the local newspaper that serves the area in which the Indian owners' land is located, at the time the tribal leasing policy is adopted.

(1) Written notice included in advertisements for lease, issued under § 162.212 of this subpart;  or
