tribal-state compact; (vii) a description
of dispute resolution procedures for
disputes arising between the gaming
public and the tribe or management
contractor; and (viii) identification of
the law enforcement agency that will
take fingerprints and a description of
the procedures for conducting criminal
history checks. The Commission also
requires a tribal ordinance to provide
that the tribe will perform background
investigations and issue licenses for
PMOs and key employees according to
requirements that are as stringent as
those contained in Commission
regulations. The NIGC Chair will use the
information collected to approve or
disapprove the ordinance or amendment
thereof.
Commission regulations also require
tribes to perform background
investigations and issue licenses for
PMOs and key employees using certain
information provided by applicants,
such as names, addresses, previous
employment records, previous
relationships with either Indian tribes or
the gaming industry, licensing related to
those relationships, any convictions,
and any other information that a tribe
feels is relevant to the employment of
the individuals being investigated.
Tribes are then required to keep
complete application files. Tribes are
also required to create and keep
investigative reports, and to submit to
the Commission notices of results
(licensing eligibility determinations) on
PMOs and key employees. Tribes must
notify the Commission if they issue or
do not issue licenses to PMOs and key
employees, and if they revoke said
licenses. The Commission uses this
information to review the eligibility and
suitability determinations that tribes
make and advises them if it disagrees
with any particular determination.
These information collections are
mandatory and allow the Commission to
carry out its statutory duties.
Respondents: Indian tribal gaming
operations.

1,580.
Estimated Annual Responses:

Brief Description of Collection: The
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) requires federal agencies to
analyze proposed major federal actions
that significantly affect the quality of the
human environment. The Commission
has taken the position that approving
third-party management contracts for
the operation of gaming activity under
IGRA requires review under NEPA.
Depending on the nature of the subject
contract and other circumstances,
approval of such management contracts
may require the preparation of an
Environmental Assessment (EA), or the
preparation of an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS). In any case, the
proponents of a management contract
will be expected to submit information
to the Commission and assist in the
development of the required NEPA
documentation.
Respondents: Tribal governing bodies,
management companies.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 3.
Estimated Annual Responses: 3.
Estimated Time per Response:
Depending on whether the response is
an EA or an EIS, the range of time can
vary from 2.5 burden hours to 12.0
burden hours for one item.
Frequency of Response: Varies.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours on Respondents: 26.5.
Estimated Total Non-hour Cost
Burden: $14,846,686.
Title: Issuance of Certificates of SelfRegulation to Tribes for Class II Gaming.
OMB Control Number: 3141–0008.
Brief Description of Collection: The
Act allows any Indian tribe that has
conducted Class II gaming for at least
three years to petition the Commission
for a certificate of self-regulation for its
Class II gaming operation(s). The
Commission will issue the certificate if
it determines that the tribe has
conducted its gaming activities in a
manner that has: Resulted in an
effective and honest accounting of all
revenues; a reputation for safe, fair, and
honest operation of the gaming
activities; and an enterprise free of
evidence of criminal or dishonest
activity. The tribe must also have
adopted and implemented proper
accounting, licensing, and enforcement
systems, and conducted the gaming
operation on a fiscally or economically
sound basis. Commission regulations
require a tribe interested in receiving a
certificate to file with the Commission
a petition generally describing the
tribe’s gaming operations, its regulatory
process, its uses of net gaming revenue,
and its accounting and recordkeeping
systems. The tribe must also provide
copies of various documents in support
of the petition. Tribes who have been

issued a certificate of self-regulation are
required to submit to the Commission
certain information on an annual basis,
including information that establishes
that the tribe continuously meets the
regulatory eligibility and approval
requirements and supporting
documentation that explains how tribal
gaming revenues were used in
accordance with the requirements in 25
U.S.C. 2710(b)(2)(B). Submission of the
petition and supporting documentation
is voluntary. The Commission will use
the information submitted by the tribe
in determining whether to issue the
certificate of self-regulation. Once a
certificate of self-regulation has been
issued, the submission of certain other
information is mandatory.
Respondents: Tribal governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 8.
Estimated Annual Responses: 64.

Depending on the information
collection, the range of time can vary
from 0.75 burden hour to 1,940 burden
hours for one item.

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
was made by the Logan Museum of
Anthropology, Beloit College,
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Caddo Nation of
Oklahoma.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1931, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from a mound near Benton,
AR, by Paul H. Nesbitt, curator of
anthropology at the Logan Museum of
Anthropology, Beloit College, and Frank
Ellis, owner of the Ellis Museum of
Archaeology and Anthropology,
Maquoketa, IA. The mound was situated
near the Saline River, but the precise
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
site location is unknown. Museum
records state that Nesbitt and Ellis were
‘‘studying the mound groups’’ of the
Benton vicinity, and the two men
excavated one burial, made surface
collections at several locations, and
obtained material from another
collector. According to museum records,
‘‘[m]ost of the material was found on
Mr. Ellis’s land along the Saline River’’
near Benton, AR. After removal, the
human remains and associated funerary
objects were accessioned into the Logan
Museum’s collection. The human
remains are those of an adult male. No
known individuals were identified. The
83 associated funerary objects are 1
ceramic bowl, 1 ceramic tripod bottle, 1
broken ceramic jar, 2 chipped-stone
picks or chisels, 1 ground and scored
rectangular stone object, 2 ground stone
knives, 33 bivalve shells, 30 ceramic
sherds, 10 mammal elements, 1 turtle
shell fragment, and fragments of
charcoal.
The human remains are Native
American based on the method of
interment, associated funerary objects,
and physical characteristics. The
ceramic bowl is a shell-tempered,
carinated vessel that is a two-panel
example of Friendship Engraved var.
Freeman. Its form, more common in the
Ouachita River drainage than along the
Saline River, is diagnostic of the MidOuachita phase, dating to A.D. 1400–
1500. Because the bowl is shelltempered, it was probably made late in
that period. The tripod bottle has a
composite design, and Arkansas
Archeological Survey archaeologist
Mary Beth Trubitt observed that ‘‘the
ovals and crosshatched design on the
body are typically found on Friendship
Engraved carinated bowls,’’ while ‘‘the
horizontal line with pendant
crosshatched triangles around the bottle
neck is often seen around rims of bowls
(Hempstead Engraved bowls that are
usually grog-tempered, or Hardman
Engraved bowls that are usually shelltempered).’’ This evidence points to an
estimated date for the bottle in the late
1400s.
The bowl and the tripod bottle, both
of which feature nearly identical
designs, exhibit well-documented Late
Caddo styles. The Benton, AR, area is in
the northeastern portion of the
traditional homeland of the Caddo
Nation of Oklahoma. Significant Caddo
archaeological sites such as Hughes
Mound are located near Benton, AR.
Archaeological and ethno-historical
evidence indicates a relationship of
shared group identity between the
present-day Caddo Nation of Oklahoma
and late prehistoric Caddo groups.
