The fingerprint processing fee is effective November 1, 2022 and will remain in effect until the Commission adopts a new rate. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Yvonne Lee, National Indian Gaming Commission, 1849 C Street NW, Mail Stop #1621, Washington, DC 20240; telephone (202) 632–7003; fax (202) 632–7066. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) established the National Indian Gaming Commission, which is charged with regulating gaming on Indian lands. Commission regulations (25 CFR 514) provide for a system of fee assessment and payment that is self-administered by gaming operations. Pursuant to those regulations, the Commission is required to adopt and communicate assessment rates and the gaming operations are required to apply those rates to their revenues, compute the fees to be paid, report the revenues, and remit the fees to the Commission. All gaming operations within the jurisdiction of the Commission are required to self-administer the provisions of these regulations, and report and pay any fees that are due to the Commission. Even though the industry’s Gross Gaming Revenues showed a significant increase in FY21 (basis for FY23’s fee calculation), it is necessary for the Commission to maintain the fee rate to ensure that the agency has sufficient funding to fully meet its statutory and regulatory responsibilities as the gaming industry continues to emerge from the pandemic. In addition, it is critical for the Commission to maintain constantly an adequate transition carryover balance to cover any cash flow variations. Pursuant to 25 CFR 514, the Commission must also review annually the costs involved in processing fingerprint cards and set a fee based on fees charged by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and costs incurred by the Commission. Commission costs include Commission personnel, supplies, equipment & infrastructure costs, and postage to submit the results to the requesting tribe. The number of fingerprint cards submitted to the NIGC for processing has decreased significantly during the pandemic. The fingerprint processing fee increase is a result of spreading the fixed costs allocated to fingerprint processing over less number of cards processed. In addition, FY23 costs reflects the Commission’s continued commitment to take necessary measures to comply with the Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal Justice Information Services VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:45 Nov 04, 2022 Jkt 259001 (FBI CJIS) requirements. These measures are not only required, but critical to ensure the NIGC and participating tribes can continue to use the FBI criminal history report information (CHRI) to determine a key employee or primary management official’s eligibility for a gaming license.
