a copy of its testing laboratory report.
Section 547.5(d)(3) requires a TGRA to
maintain records of approved
emergency hardware and software
modifications to a class II gaming
system (and a copy of the testing
laboratory report) so long as the gaming
system remains available to the public
for play, and must make the records
available to the Commission upon
request. Section 547.5(f) requires a
TGRA to maintain records of its
following determinations: (i) Regarding
a testing laboratory’s (that is owned or
operated or affiliated with a tribe)
independence from the manufacturer
and gaming operator for whom it is
providing the testing, evaluating, and
reporting functions; (ii) regarding a
testing laboratory’s suitability
determination based upon standards no
less stringent than those set out in 25
CFR 533.6(b)(1)(ii) through (v) and
based upon no less information than
that required by 25 CFR 537.1; and/or
(iii) the TGRA’s acceptance of a testing
laboratory’s suitability determination
made by any other gaming regulatory
authority in the United States. The
TGRA must maintain said records for a
minimum of three years and must make
the records available to the Commission
upon request. Section 547.17 requires a
TGRA to submit a detailed report for
each enumerated standard for which the
TGRA approves an alternate standard,
and the report must include: (i) An
explanation of how the alternate
standard achieves a level of security and
integrity sufficient to accomplish the
purpose of the standard it is to replace;
and (ii) the alternate standard as
approved and the record on which the
approval is based. This collection is
mandatory and allows the NIGC to
confirm tribal compliance with NIGC
regulations on ‘‘electronic, computer, or
other technologic aids’’ to conduct class
II gaming activities.
Respondents: Tribal governing bodies.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
431.
Estimated Annual Responses: 431.

collected under subpart L to ensure that
the volumes of hydrocarbons produced
are measured accurately, and royalties
are paid on the proper volumes.
Specifically, BSEE needs the
information to:
