[Federal Register: March 17, 2008 (Volume 73, Number 52)] [Notices] [Page 14274-14276] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr17mr08-97] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING COMMISSION Notice of Approval of Class III Tribal Gaming Ordinances AGENCY: National Indian Gaming Commission. ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of class III gaming ordinances approved by the Chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission. EFFECTIVE DATE: This notice is effective upon date of publication in the Federal Register. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Frances Fragua, Office of General Counsel at the National Indian Gaming Commission, 202/632-7003, or by facsimile at 202/632-7066 (not toll-free numbers). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) 25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., was signed into law on October 17, 1988. The IGRA established the National Indian Gaming Commission (Commission). Section 2710 of the IGRA authorizes the Commission to approve class II and class III tribal gaming ordinances. Section 2710(d)(2)(B) of the IGRA as implemented by 25 CFR section 522.8 (58 FR 5811 (January 22, 1993)) requires the Commission to publish, in the Federal Register, approved class III gaming ordinances. The IGRA requires all tribal gaming ordinances to contain the same requirements concerning ownership of the gaming activity, use of net revenues, annual audits, health and safety, background investigation and licensing of key employees. The Commission, therefore, believes that publication of each ordinance in the Federal Register would be redundant and result in unnecessary cost to the Commission. The Commission believes that publishing a notice of approval of each class III gaming ordinance is sufficient to meet the requirements of 25 U.S.C. section 2710(d)(2)(B). Every approved gaming ordinance is posted on the Commission's Web site (http://www.nigc.gov) under Reading Room, Gaming Ordinances. Also, the Commission will make copies of approved class III ordinances available to the public upon request. Requests can be made in writing to the Office of General Counsel, National Indian Gaming Commission (Attention: Frances Fragua), 1441 L Street, NW., Suite 9100, Washington, DC 20005.
