The Act establishes the National Indian Gaming Commission (‘‘Commission’’) and sets out a comprehensive framework for the regulation of gaming on Indian lands. The purposes of IGRA includes providing a statutory basis for the operation of gaming by Indian tribes as a means of promoting tribal economic development, self-sufficiency, and strong tribal governments; ensuring that the Indian tribe is the primary beneficiary of the gaming operation; and declaring that the establishment of independent federal regulatory authority for gaming on Indian lands, the establishment of federal standards for gaming on Indian lands, and the establishment of a National Indian Gaming Commission are necessary to meet congressional concerns regarding gaming and to protect such gaming as a means of generating tribal revenue. 25 U.S.C. 2702. On August 9, 2012, the Commission published a final rule amending part 573 (Compliance and Enforcement) to include a graduated pre-enforcement process through which a tribe may come into voluntary compliance. 77 FR 47517, Aug. 9, 2012. The part also sets forth general rules governing the Commission’s enforcement of the IGRA, NIGC regulations, and tribal ordinances and resolutions approved by the Chair under 25 CFR part 522. On September 25, 2012, the Commission published a final rule consolidating all appeal proceedings before the Commission into a new PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 4323 subchapter H (Appeal Proceedings Before the Commission), thereby removing former parts 524, 539, and 577. 77 FR 58941, Sept. 25, 2012. Thus, any reference in part 573 to appeal rights in former part 577 is obsolete and must be revised to reference the new subchapter H. This document amends the final rule by making two technical amendments and a correction to the final rule to accurately identify referenced regulations. Specifically, this technical amendment amends § 573.4(c)(3) and § 573.5(a) to accurately reference the new subchapter H in place of part 577. Also, this document corrects an error in § 573.2(c) by replacing a cross reference to paragraph ‘‘(b)’’ with paragraph ‘‘(a).’’ Regulatory Matters Regulatory Flexibility Act The rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities as defined under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.

SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background When the OSHA Laboratory Standard was published in 1990, the nonmandatory Appendix A was based on the 1981 edition of ‘‘Prudent Practices for Handling Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories’’ and the 1983 edition of ‘‘Prudent Practices for Disposal of Chemicals from Laboratories,’’ both published by National Academy Press. Since then, there have been many changes in the culture of safety in laboratories. The National Academies of Science (NAS) recognized these changes and has revised and updated its earlier ‘‘Prudent Practices,’’ reflected in the 2011 edition of ‘‘Prudent Practices in the Laboratory: Handling and Management of Chemical Hazards’’ (National Academies Press). The 2011 edition of ‘‘Prudent Practices’’ is being used by OSHA as the basis for nonmandatory Appendix A because of its wide distribution and acceptance and because of its preparation by recognized authorities in the laboratory community. OSHA has reviewed the 2011 edition and collaborated with the NAS to revise non-mandatory Appendix A. This new revision addresses current laboratory practices, security, and emergency response, as well as promoting safe handling of highly toxic and explosive chemicals and their waste products. Inapplicability of Public Notice and Delayed Effective Date Requirements Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), provides that, when an Agency for good cause finds that notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest, the Agency may issue a final rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. OSHA has determined that there is good cause, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), Section 6(b) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 655(b)), and 29 CFR 1911.5, for making this technical amendment final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because the amendment does not modify or revoke existing rights or obligations, and does not establish new rights or obligations. Its revisions are non-mandatory and disseminated for informational purposes only. For the same reasons, the Agency finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the amendments effective upon publication.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA or Act), Public Law 100-497, 
25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., was signed into law on October 17, 1988. The 
Act establishes the National Indian Gaming Commission (``Commission'') 
and sets out a comprehensive framework for the regulation of gaming on 
Indian lands. The purposes of IGRA includes providing a statutory basis 
for the operation of gaming by Indian tribes as a means of promoting 
tribal economic development, self-sufficiency, and strong tribal 
governments; ensuring that the Indian tribe is the primary beneficiary 
of the gaming operation; and declaring that the establishment of 
independent federal regulatory authority for gaming on Indian lands, 
the establishment of federal standards for gaming on Indian lands, and 
the establishment of a National Indian Gaming Commission are necessary 
to meet congressional concerns regarding gaming and to protect such 
gaming as a means of generating tribal revenue. 25 U.S.C. 2702.
    On August 9, 2012, the Commission published a final rule amending 
part 573 (Compliance and Enforcement) to include a graduated pre-
enforcement process through which a tribe may come into voluntary 
compliance. 77 FR 47517, Aug. 9, 2012. The part also sets forth general 
rules governing the Commission's enforcement of the IGRA, NIGC 
regulations, and tribal ordinances and resolutions approved by the 
Chair under 25 CFR part 522.
    On September 25, 2012, the Commission published a final rule 
consolidating all appeal proceedings before the Commission into a new 
subchapter H (Appeal Proceedings Before the Commission), thereby 
removing former parts 524, 539, and 577. 77 FR 58941, Sept. 25, 2012. 
Thus, any reference in part 573 to appeal rights in former part 577 is 
obsolete and must be revised to reference the new subchapter H.
    This document amends the final rule by making two technical 
amendments and a correction to the final rule to accurately identify 
referenced regulations. Specifically, this technical amendment amends 
Sec.  573.4(c)(3) and Sec.  573.5(a) to accurately reference the new 
subchapter H in place of part 577. Also, this document corrects an 
error in Sec.  573.2(c) by replacing a cross reference to paragraph 
``(b)'' with paragraph ``(a).''

Regulatory Matters

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number 
of small entities as defined under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5

Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. The rule does not have an 
effect on the economy of $100 million or more. The rule will not cause 
a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual 
industries, Federal, State, local government agencies or geographic

ability of the enterprises, to compete with foreign based enterprises.

Unfunded Mandate Reform Act

    The Commission, as an independent regulatory agency, is exempt from 
compliance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, 2 U.S.C. 1502(1); 2

requirements of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the Order.

National Environmental Policy Act

    The Commission has determined that the rule does not constitute a 
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment and that no detailed statement is required pursuant to the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not require information collection under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 2501, et seq., and is
