FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dena Wynn, Office of General Counsel at the National Indian Gaming Commission, 202–632–7003, or by facsimile at 202–632–7066 (not toll-free numbers). 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 Class III tribal gaming ordinances. Section 2710(d)(2)(B) of IGRA, as implemented by NIGC regulations, 25 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).

We understand that these amendments reflect changes in tribal law and ensure consistency with federal and state law as required by its gaming compact with the state of California. Upon review, many of the amendments are technical and nonsubstantive in nature, with some substantive changes made regarding sovereign immunity, third-party claims, disability and workers’ compensation, and structural changes to the Pauma Gaming Commission’s composition. I would like to take this opportunity to remind the Tribe that 25 CFR 522.3 requires that a tribe submit for the Chairman’s approval any amendment to an ordinance or resolution within fifteen (15) days after adoption. Thank you for bringing these amendments to our attention. The amended ordinance and regulations, as noted above, are approved as they are consistent with the requirements of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and NIGC’s regulations.

approval of Pauma Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pauma & Yuima

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dena Wynn, Office of General Counsel 
at the National Indian Gaming Commission, 202-632-7003, or by facsimile 
at 202-632-7066 (not toll-free numbers).

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 Class III tribal gaming ordinances. 
Section 2710(d)(2)(B) of IGRA, as implemented by NIGC regulations, 25 
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.

Commission, Attn: Dena Wynn, 1849 C Street NW, MS #1621, Washington, DC

Re: Pauma Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pauma & Yuima 
Reservation's Amended Gaming Ordinance and Regulations

Dear Chairman Aguilar,
    This letter responds to the July 8, 2022 submission on behalf of 
the Pauma Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pauma & Yuima 
Reservation (Tribe) informing the National Indian Gaming Commission 
(NIGC) that the Tribe amended its gaming ordinance and regulations. 
We understand that these amendments reflect changes in tribal law 
and ensure consistency with federal and state law as required by its 
gaming compact with the state of California. Upon review, many of 
the amendments are technical and non-substantive in nature, with 
some substantive changes made regarding sovereign immunity, third-
party claims, disability and workers' compensation, and structural 
changes to the Pauma Gaming Commission's composition.
    I would like to take this opportunity to remind the Tribe that 
25 CFR 522.3 requires that a tribe submit for the Chairman's 
approval any amendment to an ordinance or resolution within fifteen 
(15) days after adoption.
    Thank you for bringing these amendments to our attention. The 
amended ordinance and regulations, as noted above, are approved as 
they are consistent with the requirements of the Indian Gaming 
Regulatory Act and NIGC's regulations. If you have any questions or 
require anything further, please contact Logan Cooper at (503) 318-
