SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on
September 10, 2021 (86 FR 50737). No
comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and

should be aware that your entire

Abstract: The BIA owns, operates, and
maintains three electric power utilities
that provide a service to the end user,
pursuant to 25 CFR 175 (Indian Electric
Power Utilities). The BIA must collect
customer information to identify the
individual responsible for repaying the
government its costs for delivering the
service and bill for those costs. The BIA
must also collect information to identify
the location of the service delivery (i.e.,
electrical hook-up). In addition, the
Debt Collection Improvement Act of
1996 (DCIA), 31 U.S.C. 3701–3733
requires that certain information be
collected from individuals and
businesses doing business with the
government. This information includes
the taxpayer identification number for
possible future use to recover
delinquent debt.
Proposed Revisions to This Information
Collection
BIA proposes to revise the ‘‘Electric
Service Application’’ form to expand
electronic access and improve customer
experience and delivery. The revised
form introduces an opt-in checkbox for
paperless billing and a new field for
email address. The revised form also
proposes clarifying text regarding the
option for a letter from medical services
provider. Customers that need essential
medical equipment in their home to
sustain life should obtain a letter from
their medical services provider and
contact respective utility. A letter on file
from customer’s medical services
provider does not guarantee customer’s
service will not be disconnected for
unpaid electric bills. Accounts with a
letter on file from customer’s medical
services provider are subject to the same
bill payment terms as other accounts.
Title of Collection: Electric Power
Service Application.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The purpose of this notice is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA)
25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., established the
National Indian Gaming Commission
(Commission). Section 2710 of IGRA
authorizes the Chairman of the
Commission to approve Class II and

CFR 522.8, requires the Chairman to
publish, in the Federal Register,
approved Class III tribal gaming
ordinances and the approvals thereof.
IGRA requires all tribal gaming
ordinances to contain the same
requirements concerning tribes’ sole
proprietary interest and responsibility
for the gaming activity, use of net
revenues, annual audits, health and
safety, background investigations and
licensing of key employees and primary
management officials. The Commission,
therefore, believes that publication of
each ordinance in the Federal Register
would be redundant and result in
unnecessary cost to the Commission.
Thus, the Commission believes that
publishing a notice of approved Class III
tribal gaming ordinances in the Federal
Register is sufficient to meet the
requirements of 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(2)(B).
Every ordinance and approval thereof is
posted on the Commission’s website
(www.nigc.gov) under General Counsel,
Gaming Ordinances within five (5)
business days of approval.
On July 11, 2022, the Chairman of the
National Indian Gaming Commission
approved St. Regis Mohawk Tribe Class
III Gaming Ordinance. A copy of the
approval letter is posted with this notice
and can be found with the approved
ordinance on the NIGC’s website
(www.nigc.gov) under General Counsel,
Gaming Ordinances. A copy of the
approved Class III ordinance will also

This letter responds to your request dated
May 3, 2022, on behalf of the Saint Regis
Mohawk Tribe for the National Indian
Gaming Commission Chairman to review and
approve amendments to the Tribe’s gaming
ordinance. Resolution 2022–14 replaces the
Tribe’s current gaming ordinance, TCR 1993–

version. This newly amended ordinance
reflects recent amendments to NIGC
