Background
On October 10, 2008, NMFS
published a final rule implementing
speed restrictions to reduce the
incidence and severity of ship collisions
with North Atlantic right whales (73 FR
60173). That final rule contained a
collection-of-information requirement
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) that had not yet been approved by
OMB. Specifically, 50 CFR 224.105(c)
requires a logbook entry to document
that a deviation from the 10-knot speed
limit was necessary for safe
maneuverability under certain
conditions.
On October 30, 2008, OMB approved

I. Authority
The authority to issue this document
is vested in the Secretary of the Interior
by 5 U.S.C. 301 and 25 U.S.C. 2, 9, and
2710. The Secretary has delegated this
authority to the Assistant Secretary—
Indian Affairs by part 209 of the
Departmental Manual.
II. Background
The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act
(IGRA), 25 U.S.C. 2701–2721, was
signed into law on October 17, 1988.
IGRA authorizes class III gaming
activities on Indian lands when
authorized by an approved ordinance,
located in a State that permits such
gaming and conducted in conformance
with a Tribal-State compact. See 25
U.S.C. 2710. The Indian tribe and State
must submit each compact and compact
amendment to the Secretary for
approval or disapproval. See 25 U.S.C.
2710(d)(8)(A), (B) and (C).
On July 2, 2008, the Bureau of Indian
Affairs (BIA) published a proposed rule
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
establishing the procedures for
submitting Tribal-State compacts and
compact amendments to the Secretary
for approval. See 73 FR 37907. The
original comment period ended on
September 2, 2008. BIA extended the
comment period until September 22,
2008. See 73 FR 51255 (September 2,
2008).
III. Discussion of Comments Received
on Proposed Rule
During the public comment period,
the Department received a total of 15
comments from Indian tribes, individual
commenters, States, State associations,
and non-profit organizations. The
following discussion provides a
summary of general and section-specific
comments, and the Department’s
responses to those comments. The
section-specific comments below are
organized according to the sections
listed in the proposed rule.
A. General Comments
One comment commended the
Secretary for publishing these
regulations.
One comment requested that the rule
require the surrounding communities to
approve compacts or amendments
before they may become effective.
Response: This recommendation was
not adopted because the Secretary does
not have the authority to require such
approval by surrounding communities.
Publication in the Federal Register
serves as notice to the public, including
surrounding communities, before
compacts or amendments become
effective. See section 293.15 of the final
rule. Each State’s compact approval
process is a matter of State law and
governs whether surrounding
communities can provide input.
One comment suggested that
throughout the rule we add
‘‘substantive’’ in every instance we used
the word ‘‘amendment.’’
Response: This comment applied to
the proposed rule because the proposed
rule subjected only substantive
comments to Secretarial review and
approval. The final rule subjects all
amendments, whether substantive or
technical, to Secretarial review and
approval; therefore, the comment
requesting that we specify that
amendments refer to substantive
amendments only is no longer
applicable.
One comment suggested adding
language to clarify the Department’s
position on ‘‘Indian lands.’’
Response: This regulation addresses
the process for submission by tribes and
States and consideration by the
Secretary of Class III Tribal-State
