Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 136 / Tuesday, July 18, 2023 / Notices
the Secretary of the Interior to publish
in the Federal Register notice of
approved Tribal-State compacts for the
purpose of engaging in Class III gaming
activities on Indian lands. 25 U.S.C.
2710(d)(8)(D). The Department’s
regulations at 25 CFR 293.4, require all
compacts and amendments to be
reviewed and approved by the Secretary
prior to taking effect. The Secretary took
no action on the Compact amendment
between the Prairie Band Potawatomi
Nation and the State of Kansas.
Therefore, the Compact amendment is
considered to have been approved, but
only to the extent it is consistent with
IGRA. See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8)(C).

Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs.
