Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 68 / Monday, April 10, 2023 / Notices
described in PLO No. 7899 by 60 days
on February 18, 2021, to provide an
opportunity to review the decisions and
ensure the orderly management of the
public lands (86 FR 10131).
Subsequently, the Department identified
certain procedural and legal defects in
the decision-making processes for PLO
Nos. 7899, 7900, 7901, 7902, and 7903
(collectively, ‘‘the PLOs’’), including
insufficient analysis under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA),
failure to follow section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA), possible failure to adequately
evaluate impacts under section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act (ESA), and
failure to secure consent from the
Department of Defense (DOD) with
regard to lands under DOD
administration as required by section
204(i) of FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1714(i)).
Due to these identified deficiencies, on
April 16, 2021, the Department—relying
on its inherent authority to revisit
decisions based on identified legal
errors—deferred the opening of lands
under PLO No. 7899 and the publication
of PLO Nos. 7900, 7901, 7902, and 7903,
in order to address the deficiencies in
the decision-making processes that led
to the PLOs (86 FR 20193).
Due to the five-year statutory limit on
the application period for allotment
selections by Alaska Native Vietnam-era
Veterans under section 1119 of the
Dingell Act, the BLM prioritized
completion of an environmental
assessment to ensure legal compliance
for opening lands within the areas
affected by PLO Nos. 7899, 7900, 7901,
7902, and 7903. The BLM completed its
process on April 21, 2022, and the
Secretary issued Public Land Order No.
7912 to open lands within PLO Nos.
7899, 7900, 7901, 7902, and 7903 to
allotment selection under section 1119
of the Dingell Act on August 15, 2022
(87 FR 50202).
On August 18, 2022, the BLM
published in the Federal Register a
notice of intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement to
consider the impacts of opening lands
subject to PLO Nos. 7899, 7900, 7901,
7902, and 7903 within the Bay, Bering
Sea-Western Interior, East Alaska,
Kobuk-Seward Peninsula, and Ring of
Fire Planning Areas (87 FR 50875). This
process is intended to address the
remaining legal defects in the decisionmaking processes for PLO Nos. 7899,
7900, 7901, 7902, and 7903 and to
ensure compliance with the
requirements of NEPA, section 204(i) of
FLPMA, section 106 of the NHPA,
section 7 of the ESA, and section 810 of
the Alaska National Interest Lands
Conservation Act. Due to the scope and
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:13 Apr 07, 2023
Jkt 259001
complexity of the issues being analyzed
in the EIS, the BLM will not be ready
to reach a decision by April 16, 2023
and, as a result, will defer the opening
order to August 31, 2024 to allow the
BLM to complete the analysis and
consultation required to address the
legal defects identified in the decisionmaking processes for PLO Nos. 7899,
7900, 7901, 7902, and 7903.
For the orderly administration of the
public lands and in accordance with 43
CFR 2091.6, this Order amends the
opening order contained in Paragraph 3
of PLO 7899 (86 FR 5236) as follows:
At 8 a.m. Alaska Time on August 31,
2024, the lands described in paragraph
1 of PLO 7899 (86 FR 5236) shall be
open to all forms of appropriation under
the general public land laws, including
location and entry under the mining
laws, leasing under the Mineral Leasing
Act of February 25, 1920, as amended,
subject to valid existing rights, the
provisions of existing withdrawals,
other segregations of record, and the
requirements of applicable law.
Appropriation of any of the lands
referenced in paragraph 1 of PLO 7899
(86 FR 5236), under the general mining
laws prior to the date and time of
revocation remain unauthorized. Any
such attempted appropriation, including
attempted adverse possession under 30
U.S.C. 38, shall vest no rights against
the United States.
Laura Daniel-Davis,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Land
and Minerals Management.

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT
National Indian Gaming Commission
Notice of Approved Class III Tribal
Gaming Ordinance
National Indian Gaming
Commission, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The purpose of this notice is
to inform the public of the approval of
Ione Band of Miwok Indians of
California Class III gaming ordinance by
the Chairman of the National Indian
Gaming Commission.
DATES: This notice is applicable April
10, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Dena Wynn, Office of General Counsel

Commission, 202–632–7003, or by

SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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.
On March 22, 2023, the Chairman of
the National Indian Gaming
Commission approved Ione Band of
Miwok Indians of California 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
be made available upon request.
Requests can be made in writing to the
Office of General Counsel, National
Indian Gaming Commission, Attn: Dena
Wynn, 1849 C Street NW, MS #1621,

Dear Chairperson Dutschke:
This letter responds to the January 27, 2023
submission on behalf of the Ione Band of
Miwok Indians (‘‘Tribe’’) informing the
National Indian Gaming Commission that the
Tribe amended its gaming ordinance. The
amendments to the tribal gaming code were
intended to eliminate the board of directors,
thereby eliminating conflicts with a later
enacted statute and to address the most
recent NIGC regulations and reflect the
compact that the Tribe entered into with the
State in 2020. Thank you for bringing these
amendments to our attention. The amended
ordinance, as noted above, is approved as it
is 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
Rachel Hill at (918) 581–6214.
Sincerely,
E. Sequoyah Simermeyer, Chairman

ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Labor’s
(DOL) Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) is soliciting
comments concerning a proposed
extension for the authority to conduct
the information collection request (ICR)
titled, Agricultural Recruitment System
Forms Affecting Migratory Farm
Workers.’’ This comment request is part
of continuing Departmental efforts to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA).
DATES: Consideration will be given to all
written comments received by June 9,
2023.
ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with
applicable supporting documentation,
including a description of the likely
respondents, proposed frequency of
response, and estimated total burden,
may be obtained free by contacting
Laura Tramontana by telephone at 202693–0383 (this is not a toll-free

or by email at NMA@dol.gov.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as
part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for final
approval. This program helps to ensure
requested data can be provided in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements can be properly assessed.
State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) are
required by Federal regulations at 20
CFR 653.500 to participate in the
intrastate and interstate clearance
system for the orderly recruitment and
movement of agricultural workers.
Regulations 653.501(a),(b),(c) and (d)
enumerate the contents of these orders.
The Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) created the
Agricultural Clearance Order (Form
ETA–790) for the recruitment of workers
beyond the local commuting area (20
CFR 653.501). Per 29 CFR 95.53(b), the
record retention for Form ETA–790 is
three years from the date of submission
of the final expenditure report as
authorized by DOL.
Under this ICR, ETA is proposing to
renew the current Agricultural
Clearance Order Form ETA–790 and the
Agricultural Clearance Order Form
ETA–790B, without changes. Employers
and SWAs use these forms to process
non-criteria clearance orders, which are
not placed in connection with the H–2A
visa program. Employers seeking to use
non-criteria clearance orders to recruit
U.S. workers to perform farmwork on a
temporary, less than year-round basis
must: (1) complete Form ETA–790; (2)
complete Form ETA–790B; and (3)
submit both forms to the SWA.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by OMB under the PRA and
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703

displays a currently valid OMB Control
Number. In addition, notwithstanding
any other provisions of law, no person
shall generally be subject to penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of
information that does not display a
valid Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Comments
must be written to receive
consideration, and they will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval of the final ICR. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Control Number 1205–
0134.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. DOL encourages commenters
not to include personally identifiable
information, confidential business data,
or other sensitive statements/
information in any comments.
DOL is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
(e.g., permitting electronic submission
of responses).
Agency: DOL–ETA.
Type of Review: Extension without
changes.

Recruitment System Forms Affecting
Migratory Farm Workers.
