Sections 291.4, 291.10, 291.12 and 291.15 of 25 CFR Part 291, Class III Gaming Procedures, specify the information collection requirement.

Annual reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to occur one time on an annual basis. The estimated number of annual requests is 12 Tribes seeking Class III gaming procedures. The estimated time to review instructions and complete each application is 320 hours.

Sections 290.12, 290.17, 290.24 and 290.26 of 25 CFR Part 290, Tribal Revenue Allocation Plans, specify the information collection requirement. An Indian Tribe must ask the Secretary to approve a Tribal Revenue Allocation Plan. The information to be collected includes: the name of the Tribe, Tribal documents, the allocation plan, and other documents deemed necessary. Collection of this information is currently authorized under an approval by OMB (OMB Control Number 1076– 0152). All information is collected when the Tribe submits a Tribal Revenue Allocation Plan.
