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). 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 May 15, 2023, the Chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission approved the Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma 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.

Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time.

Abstract: There are private businesses in more than 100 national parks under contract to the NPS that manage food, lodging, tours, whitewater rafting, boating, and many other recreational activities and amenities. These services gross more than $1 billion every year and provide jobs for more than 25,000 people during peak seasons. The regulations codified in 36 CFR part 51 primarily implement title IV of the National Parks Omnibus Management Act of 1998 (54 U.S.C. 101911 et seq. also referred to as Pub. L. 105–391), which provides legislative authority, policies, and requirements for the solicitation, award, and administration of NPS concession contracts. Furthermore, 54 U.S.C. 101911 et seq. provides that all proposed concession contracts shall be awarded by the Secretary to the person, corporation or other entity submitting the best proposal, as determined by the Secretary through a competitive selection process. Such competitive process shall include simplified procedures for small, individually owned, concessions contracts. We use the information collected to objectively evaluate offers to assure that the park resources will be adequately protected and determine which offeror will provide the best service to visitors. For the purpose of this submission, we are requesting an extension of the currently approved information collections associated with the administration of NPS concessions contracts.

Notice of Approved Class III Tribal Gaming Ordinance

AGENCY: National Indian Gaming Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of the 
approval of Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma Class III 
gaming ordinance by the Chairman of the National Indian Gaming 
Commission.

DATES: This notice is applicable June 12, 2023.

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.
    On May 15, 2023, the Chairman of the National Indian Gaming 
Commission approved the Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma 
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, Washington, DC 20240 or at [email protected].
