ACTION: Notice of tribal consultations. AGENCY: The purpose of this document is to publish the schedule for government-to-government consultation on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and the NIGC’s efforts to remain current with gaming technology. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christinia Thomas, Deputy Chief of Staff at (202) 632–7003 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Congress established the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC or Commission) under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) to regulate gaming on Indian lands. In accordance with the NIGC’s tribal consultation policy, the Commission will engage in consultation with tribal governments on the following topics. SUMMARY: The National Environmental Policy Act In December of 2009, the NIGC published a draft NEPA manual in the Federal Register and requested comments. Some of the comments received questioned whether the approval of a management contract actually triggered a NEPA review. Further, the comments suggested that the NIGC should either conclude that NEPA does not apply or it should adopt a categorical exclusion for the approval of management contracts. Therefore the Commission is seeking comments on what level of environmental review, if any, is required before the Chairman can or should approve a management contract. Technology The Commission realizes that constant technologic advances are not only changing the face of Indian gaming, but also necessitate that the NIGC continue to adapt to meet the regulatory needs of the industry. As tribal gaming evolves, the NIGC wants to continue to play a relevant role in tribal gaming and ensure that it can meet the demands of new regulatory issues in a timely manner. Consultation generally Executive Order 13175 entitled, ‘‘Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments’’ provides for the NIGC to engage in meaningful consultation with Tribal governments prior to taking an action that has tribal E:\FR\FM\11FEN1.SGM 11FEN1
