SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act
(IGRA or the Act), Public Law 100–497,
25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., was signed into
law on October 17, 1988. The Act
established the Commission and set out
a comprehensive framework for the
regulation of gaming on Indian lands.
The purposes of the Act include:
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.
II. Previous Rulemaking Activity
On August 9, 2012, the Commission
published a final rule amending 25 CFR
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. This document
updates references in 25 CFR part 514
that are no longer accurate due to those
amendments.
On September 25, 2012, the
Commission published a final rule
consolidating all appeal proceedings
before the Commission into a (then) new
subchapter H (Appeal Proceedings
Before the Commission), thereby
removing former parts 524, 539, and
577. 77 FR 58941, Sept. 25, 2012. This
document updates 25 CFR parts 513,
514, 522, 533, 535, 571, 573, and 575 to
remove references to those parts no
longer in existence.
On January 25, 2013, the Commission
published a final rule amending 25 CFR
E:\FR\FM\05JNR1.SGM
05JNR1
31992
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 108 / Friday, June 5, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
parts 556 and 558 (Background
investigations and Gaming Licenses for
Key Employees and Primary
Management Officials) to streamline
certain submissions to the Commission
and to ensure that certain tribal
notifications comply with the Act. 78
FR 5276, Jan 25. 2013. This document
updates 25 CFR part 573 to reflect the
amendments to those parts.
In June of 2014, the Commission
relocated its headquarters. This
document updates the mailing address
contained within 25 CFR parts 514 and
516. The Commission also identified
minor grammatical errors in certain
other regulations and now corrects those
errors.
III. Corrections
25 CFR Part 502—Definitions of This
Chapter
This document revises the definition
of ‘‘Chairman’’ in 25 CFR 502.1 to
include the word ‘‘Chair.’’ This reflects
the gender-neutral term that occurs
elsewhere in the Commission’s
regulations. No substantive change is
intended with this correction.
25 CFR Part 513—Debt Collection
This document revises 25 CFR
513.4(b) and 513.32(a) to remove
references to the appeal procedures
formerly found at 25 CFR part 577
(which no longer exists). It now
references the appeal procedure at 25
CFR parts 580–585. This document also
corrects a grammatical error in
§ 513.32(a): In the third sentence, the
first ‘‘matters’’ is corrected to the
singular ‘‘matter,’’ while the second
‘‘matters’’ remains plural.
25 CFR Part 514—Fees
This document revises 25 CFR 514.8
and 514.17(c) to reflect the
Commission’s new mailing address.
This document also amends 25 CFR
514.10 to revise paragraphs (a) and (b)
to correct a reference from ‘‘25 CFR
573.6(a)(2)’’ to ‘‘25 CFR 573.4(a)(2).’’

25 CFR Part 516—Testimony of Current
and Former Commissioners and NIGC
Employees; Response to Subpoenas
The document revises 25 CFR
516.4(b) to reflect the Commission’s
new mailing address.
25 CFR Part 522—Submission of
Gaming Ordinance or Resolution
This document revises 25 CFR 522.5
and 522.7(a), (b) to remove references to
25 CFR part 524 (which no longer
exists) and replaces them with
references to 25 CFR part 582. This
document also revises 25 CFR 522.10(c)
and (f) to make minor grammatical

Jkt 235001
changes. In paragraph (c), ‘‘Tribe’’ is
changed to ‘‘tribe’’; in paragraph (f), a
comma is placed after ‘‘limits.’’
25 CFR Part 531—Content of
Management Contracts
This document amends 25 CFR 531.1
to revise paragraphs (b)(4), (b)(6), and
(b)(16) by making minor grammatical
changes and by clarifying certain
requirements. In paragraph (b)(4), a
comma is placed after ‘‘training’’; in
paragraph (b)(6), the word ‘‘gaming’’ is
added before ‘‘operation’s’’; and in
paragraph (b)(16), the phrase ‘‘National
Indian Gaming Commission’’ is replaced
with the word ‘‘Commission.’’ No
substantive change is intended by these
corrections.
25 CFR Part 533—Approval of
Management Contracts
This document revises 25 CFR 533.2
to remove a reference to 25 CFR part 539
(which no longer exists) and replaces it
with a reference to 25 CFR part 583. The
document also amends 25 CFR 533.3,
revising paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) to
make minor grammatical changes. In
paragraph (a)(1), the word ‘‘and’’ is
added to the end of the sentence; and in
paragraph (a)(2), the word ‘‘and’’ is
removed and replaced with a period.
The document also revises 25 CFR
533.6(b)(3) to make a minor grammatical
change, replacing ‘‘this’’ with ‘‘the.’’
25 CFR Part 535—Post-Approval
Procedures
This document revises 25 CFR
535.1(d)(2) to make a minor grammatical
change. In paragraph (d)(2), a semicolon
at the end of the paragraph is replaced
with a period. This document also
revises 25 CFR 535.1(d)(3) by removing
references to ‘‘part 539’’ (which no
longer exists) and replacing it with
references to ‘‘part 583.’’ This document
also revises 25 CFR 535.3 to remove a
reference to ‘‘part 577’’ and to replace it
with a reference to ‘‘parts 584 or 585.’’
A minor grammatical change is also
made to the second sentence of § 535.3,
replacing the word ‘‘void’’ with
‘‘voiding.’’ No substantive change is
intended by this correction.
25 CFR Part 556—Background
Investigations of Primary Management
Officials and Key Employees
This document revises 25 CFR
556.2(a) to make a minor grammatical
change by adding a comma after the
word ‘‘criminal.’’ This document also
revises 25 CFR 556.5(a)(3) by adding a
comma after the word ‘‘habits.’’ Finally,
this document revises 25 CFR 556.8 by
removing the word ‘‘the’’ before
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
‘‘February’’ and adding a comma after
‘‘2013.’’
25 CFR Part 559—Facility License
Notification and Submissions
This document revises 25 CFR
559.1(a) by changing ‘‘obtain’’ to
‘‘obtains.’’ This document also revises
25 CFR 559.4 by adding a comma after
the word ‘‘standards.’’ Finally, to mirror
the language in the regulation, this
document revises 25 CFR 559.5 by
changing the section title from ‘‘Does a
tribe need to’’ to ‘‘Must a tribe.’’
25 CFR Part 571—Monitoring and
Investigations
This document revises the second
sentence of 25 CFR 571.3 by replacing
the language ‘‘under part 577 of this
chapter is addressed in § 577.8’’ with ‘‘is
addressed in § 584.9.’’ This change is
required because part 577 no longer
exists and was replaced by the language
found in 25 CFR part 584. The
document revises 25 CFR 571.4 by
replacing ‘‘NIGC’’ with ‘‘the
Commission.’’ This change is intended
to create uniformity in the agency’s
regulations. Additionally, 25 CFR 571.4
is revised to add ‘‘or resolution’’ after
the word ‘‘ordinance.’’ Finally, this
document revises 25 CFR 571.11 by
removing a reference to a nonexistent
‘‘part 577’’ and replacing it with ‘‘part
584.’’
25 CFR Part 573—Compliance and
Enforcement
This document revises 25 CFR 573.1
by making a minor grammatical change.
Specifically, ‘‘notice’’ is now changed to
‘‘notices.’’ Section 573.2(a) is revised by
removing the word ‘‘respondent’’ from
the regulation because the regulation
does not involve official agency action,
and therefore no ‘‘respondent’’ exists.
No substantive change occurs as a result
of this revision. In addition, 25 CFR
573.4 is amended to revise paragraphs
(a)(1)(ii), (a)(5), (a)(10), and (c)(3).
Paragraph (a)(1)(ii) is revised by
replacing ‘‘provides’’ with ‘‘is served
with.’’ A minor grammatical change is
made to paragraph (a)(5), removing the
phrase ‘‘having been,’’ as this change
helps make the regulation easier to read.
A minor grammatical change is also
made to paragraph (a)(10), replacing
‘‘Indian Gaming Regulatory Act’’ with
‘‘the Act.’’ Paragraph (a)(10) is also
revised to replace references to
‘‘§ 558.2’’ with ‘‘§ 556.5,’’ and ‘‘§ 558.5’’
with ‘‘§ 558.4.’’ Finally, paragraph (c)(3)
is revised to replace a reference to
‘‘subchapter H,’’ with a reference to
‘‘parts 584 or 585’’ for clarity.

25 CFR Part 522
This document amends 25 CFR 575.6
to revise paragraphs (a)(1) and (b) to
replace references to ‘‘part 577’’ (which
no longer exists) with references to
‘‘parts 584 or 585.’’ This document also
revises 25 CFR 575.9 to replace
references to ‘‘part 577’’ (which no
longer exists) with references to ‘‘parts
584 or 585.’’ Section 575.9 is also
revised by renumbering it to ‘‘575.7’’
due to a previous numbering error in the
regulations.
The Commission, as an independent
regulatory agency, is exempt from
compliance with the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act, 2 U.S.C. 1502(1);

This document revises 25 CFR 580.6
by making a minor grammatical change,
replacing ‘‘in’’ with ‘‘from.’’ This
document also revises 25 CFR 580.12 by
replacing ‘‘NIGC’’ with ‘‘Commission’’
to create uniformity in the agency’s
regulations.
IV. Certain Findings
Under the Administrative Procedure
Act, a notice of proposed rulemaking is
not required when an agency, for good
cause, finds that notice and public
comments are impractical, unnecessary,
or contrary to the public interest.
Because the revisions here are technical
in nature and intended solely to update
the Commission’s current mailing
address, to correct outdated references,
and to correct minor grammatical errors,
the Commission is publishing a
technical amendment.
V. Regulatory Matters
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rule will not have a significant
economic effect on a substantial number
of small entities as defined by the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601,
et seq. Indian tribes are not considered
to be small entities for purposes of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Takings
In accordance with Executive Order
12630, the Commission determined this
proposed rule does not have significant
takings implications. A takings
implication assessment is not required.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The temporary regulations that are the
subject of these amendments are under
section 6045A of the Internal Revenue
Code. The temporary regulations (TD
9713) were published in the Federal
Register on Friday, March 13, 2015 (80
FR 13233).
Need for Amendments
Under § 1.6045A–1, a broker is
required to provide certain information
relating to a transfer of a debt
instrument that is a covered security on
a transfer statement. Section 1.6045A–
1T(f) requires a broker to provide certain
additional information on the transfer
statement. Section 1.6045A–1T(f)
applies to a transfer that occurs on or
after June 30, 2015. After the
publication of the temporary
regulations, the Treasury Department
and the IRS received comments
requesting that the applicability date of
the regulations be delayed until January
1, 2016. In response to these comments,
this document amends the applicability

Various National Indian Gaming Commission Regulations
AGENCY: National Indian Gaming Commission, Interior.
ACTION: Correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC or Commission)
makes corrections to various regulations previously issued. The
Commission recently moved its headquarters resulting in the need to
update the Commission's mailing address. Additionally, the current
regulations contain outdated references to previous regulations that no
longer exist. The amendments also correct various minor grammatical
errors.
DATES: Effective June 22, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: NIGC Attn: Maria Getoff, Senior
Attorney, C/O Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street NW., Mail Stop
#1621, Washington, DC 20240, or by telephone at 202-632-7003.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA or the Act), Public Law 100-
497, 25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., was signed into law on October 17, 1988.
The Act established the Commission and set out a comprehensive
framework for the regulation of gaming on Indian lands. The purposes of
the Act include: 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.
II. Previous Rulemaking Activity
On August 9, 2012, the Commission published a final rule amending
25 CFR 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. This document updates references
in 25 CFR part 514 that are no longer accurate due to those amendments.
On September 25, 2012, the Commission published a final rule
consolidating all appeal proceedings before the Commission into a
(then) new subchapter H (Appeal Proceedings Before the Commission),
thereby removing former parts 524, 539, and 577. 77 FR 58941, Sept. 25,
2012. This document updates 25 CFR parts 513, 514, 522, 533, 535, 571,
573, and 575 to remove references to those parts no longer in
existence.
On January 25, 2013, the Commission published a final rule amending
25 CFR
[[Page 31992]]
parts 556 and 558 (Background investigations and Gaming Licenses for
Key Employees and Primary Management Officials) to streamline certain
submissions to the Commission and to ensure that certain tribal
notifications comply with the Act. 78 FR 5276, Jan 25. 2013. This
document updates 25 CFR part 573 to reflect the amendments to those
parts.
In June of 2014, the Commission relocated its headquarters. This
document updates the mailing address contained within 25 CFR parts 514
and 516. The Commission also identified minor grammatical errors in
certain other regulations and now corrects those errors.
III. Corrections
25 CFR Part 502--Definitions of This Chapter
This document revises the definition of ``Chairman'' in 25 CFR
502.1 to include the word ``Chair.'' This reflects the gender-neutral
term that occurs elsewhere in the Commission's regulations. No
substantive change is intended with this correction.
25 CFR Part 513--Debt Collection
This document revises 25 CFR 513.4(b) and 513.32(a) to remove
references to the appeal procedures formerly found at 25 CFR part 577
(which no longer exists). It now references the appeal procedure at 25
CFR parts 580-585. This document also corrects a grammatical error in
Sec. 513.32(a): In the third sentence, the first ``matters'' is
corrected to the singular ``matter,'' while the second ``matters''
remains plural.
25 CFR Part 514--Fees
This document revises 25 CFR 514.8 and 514.17(c) to reflect the
Commission's new mailing address. This document also amends 25 CFR
514.10 to revise paragraphs (a) and (b) to correct a reference from
``25 CFR 573.6(a)(2)'' to ``25 CFR 573.4(a)(2).''
25 CFR Part 516--Testimony of Current and Former Commissioners and NIGC
Employees; Response to Subpoenas
The document revises 25 CFR 516.4(b) to reflect the Commission's
new mailing address.
25 CFR Part 522--Submission of Gaming Ordinance or Resolution
This document revises 25 CFR 522.5 and 522.7(a), (b) to remove
references to 25 CFR part 524 (which no longer exists) and replaces
them with references to 25 CFR part 582. This document also revises 25
CFR 522.10(c) and (f) to make minor grammatical changes. In paragraph
(c), ``Tribe'' is changed to ``tribe''; in paragraph (f), a comma is
placed after ``limits.''
25 CFR Part 531--Content of Management Contracts
This document amends 25 CFR 531.1 to revise paragraphs (b)(4),
(b)(6), and (b)(16) by making minor grammatical changes and by
clarifying certain requirements. In paragraph (b)(4), a comma is placed
after ``training''; in paragraph (b)(6), the word ``gaming'' is added
before ``operation's''; and in paragraph (b)(16), the phrase ``National
Indian Gaming Commission'' is replaced with the word ``Commission.'' No
substantive change is intended by these corrections.
25 CFR Part 533--Approval of Management Contracts
This document revises 25 CFR 533.2 to remove a reference to 25 CFR
part 539 (which no longer exists) and replaces it with a reference to
25 CFR part 583. The document also amends 25 CFR 533.3, revising
paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) to make minor grammatical changes. In
paragraph (a)(1), the word ``and'' is added to the end of the sentence;
and in paragraph (a)(2), the word ``and'' is removed and replaced with
a period. The document also revises 25 CFR 533.6(b)(3) to make a minor
grammatical change, replacing ``this'' with ``the.''
25 CFR Part 535--Post-Approval Procedures
This document revises 25 CFR 535.1(d)(2) to make a minor
grammatical change. In paragraph (d)(2), a semicolon at the end of the
paragraph is replaced with a period. This document also revises 25 CFR
535.1(d)(3) by removing references to ``part 539'' (which no longer
exists) and replacing it with references to ``part 583.'' This document
also revises 25 CFR 535.3 to remove a reference to ``part 577'' and to
replace it with a reference to ``parts 584 or 585.'' A minor
grammatical change is also made to the second sentence of Sec. 535.3,
replacing the word ``void'' with ``voiding.'' No substantive change is
intended by this correction.
25 CFR Part 556--Background Investigations of Primary Management
Officials and Key Employees
This document revises 25 CFR 556.2(a) to make a minor grammatical
change by adding a comma after the word ``criminal.'' This document
also revises 25 CFR 556.5(a)(3) by adding a comma after the word
``habits.'' Finally, this document revises 25 CFR 556.8 by removing the
word ``the'' before ``February'' and adding a comma after ``2013.''
25 CFR Part 559--Facility License Notification and Submissions
This document revises 25 CFR 559.1(a) by changing ``obtain'' to
``obtains.'' This document also revises 25 CFR 559.4 by adding a comma
after the word ``standards.'' Finally, to mirror the language in the
regulation, this document revises 25 CFR 559.5 by changing the section
title from ``Does a tribe need to'' to ``Must a tribe.''
25 CFR Part 571--Monitoring and Investigations
This document revises the second sentence of 25 CFR 571.3 by
replacing the language ``under part 577 of this chapter is addressed in
Sec. 577.8'' with ``is addressed in Sec. 584.9.'' This change is
required because part 577 no longer exists and was replaced by the
language found in 25 CFR part 584. The document revises 25 CFR 571.4 by
replacing ``NIGC'' with ``the Commission.'' This change is intended to
create uniformity in the agency's regulations. Additionally, 25 CFR
571.4 is revised to add ``or resolution'' after the word ``ordinance.''
Finally, this document revises 25 CFR 571.11 by removing a reference to
a nonexistent ``part 577'' and replacing it with ``part 584.''
25 CFR Part 573--Compliance and Enforcement
This document revises 25 CFR 573.1 by making a minor grammatical
change. Specifically, ``notice'' is now changed to ``notices.'' Section
573.2(a) is revised by removing the word ``respondent'' from the
regulation because the regulation does not involve official agency
action, and therefore no ``respondent'' exists. No substantive change
occurs as a result of this revision. In addition, 25 CFR 573.4 is
amended to revise paragraphs (a)(1)(ii), (a)(5), (a)(10), and (c)(3).
Paragraph (a)(1)(ii) is revised by replacing ``provides'' with ``is
served with.'' A minor grammatical change is made to paragraph (a)(5),
removing the phrase ``having been,'' as this change helps make the
regulation easier to read. A minor grammatical change is also made to
paragraph (a)(10), replacing ``Indian Gaming Regulatory Act'' with
``the Act.'' Paragraph (a)(10) is also revised to replace references to
``Sec. 558.2'' with ``Sec. 556.5,'' and ``Sec. 558.5'' with ``Sec.
558.4.'' Finally, paragraph (c)(3) is revised to replace a reference to
``subchapter H,'' with a reference to ``parts 584 or 585'' for clarity.
[[Page 31993]]
25 CFR Part 575--Civil Fines
This document amends 25 CFR 575.6 to revise paragraphs (a)(1) and
(b) to replace references to ``part 577'' (which no longer exists) with
references to ``parts 584 or 585.'' This document also revises 25 CFR
575.9 to replace references to ``part 577'' (which no longer exists)
with references to ``parts 584 or 585.'' Section 575.9 is also revised
by renumbering it to ``575.7'' due to a previous numbering error in the
regulations.
25 CFR Part 580--Rules of General Application in Appeal Proceedings
Before the Commission
This document revises 25 CFR 580.6 by making a minor grammatical
change, replacing ``in'' with ``from.'' This document also revises 25
CFR 580.12 by replacing ``NIGC'' with ``Commission'' to create
uniformity in the agency's regulations.
IV. Certain Findings
Under the Administrative Procedure Act, a notice of proposed
rulemaking is not required when an agency, for good cause, finds that
notice and public comments are impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest. Because the revisions here are technical in nature
and intended solely to update the Commission's current mailing address,
to correct outdated references, and to correct minor grammatical
errors, the Commission is publishing a technical amendment.
V. Regulatory Matters
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rule will not have a significant economic effect on a
substantial number of small entities as defined by the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. Indian tribes are not considered
to be small entities for purposes of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804(2), the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. This rule does not have
an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more. This rule will
not cause a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual
industries, federal, state, or local government agencies or geographic
regions, and does not have a significant adverse effect on competition,
employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of
U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises.
Unfunded Mandates 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
U.S.C. 658(1).
Takings
In accordance with Executive Order 12630, the Commission determined
this proposed rule does not have significant takings implications. A
takings implication assessment is not required.
Civil Justice Reform
In accordance with Executive Order 12988, the Commission determined
that the rule does not unduly burden the judicial system and meets the
requirements of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the Executive Order.
National Environmental Policy Act
The Commission has determined that this rule does not constitute a
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment and that a detailed statement is not required pursuant to
the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.
Paperwork Reduction Act
The information collection requirements contained in these rules
were previously approved by the Office of Management and Budget as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq., and
assigned the following OMB control numbers with the applicable
expiration dates: (i) 3141-0001, expires on October 31, 2016; (ii)
3141-0003, expires on October 31, 2016; (iii) 3141-0004, expires on
October 31, 2015; (iv) 3141-0007, expires on November 30, 2015; and (v)
