On behalf of the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM), the Secretary
of the Interior proposes to withdraw
312.16 acres of public lands and 400
acres of Federal mineral interest

States mining laws, but not from leasing
under the mineral and geothermal
leasing laws, to protect desert bighorn
sheep habitat within the Red Rock
Wildlife Area, for a period of 50 years,
subject to valid existing rights.
Publication of this notice segregates the
lands for up to two years from location

of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond; including through
the use of appropriate automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
(5) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those

The areas described aggregate 400 acres.
The total areas described aggregate 712.16
acres.
The Secretary of the Interior has
approved the petition to file a
withdrawal application. The Secretary’s
approval constitutes her proposal to
withdraw and segregate the subject
lands (43 CFR 2310.1–3e).
The use of a right-of-way, interagency
agreement, cooperative agreement, or
surface management under 43 CFR
subpart 3809 regulations would not
adequately constrain non-discretionary
uses and would not provide adequate
protection for the resource values on
these lands.
There are no suitable alternative sites
available.
No water is necessary to fulfill the
purpose of the withdrawal application.
Records relating to this withdrawal
application may be examined by
contacting the BLM at the above address
and phone number.
For a period until March 5, 2024,
persons who wish to provide comments
or request a public meeting for the
withdrawal application must submit
those in writing to the contact listed in
the ADDRESSES section above. If the
authorized officer determines that a
public meeting will be held, a notice of
the date, time, and place will be
published in the Federal Register, local
newspaper, and on the BLM website at
www.blm.gov at least 30 days before the
scheduled date of the meeting.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 233 / Wednesday, December 6, 2023 / Notices
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you may ask the BLM in your
comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public
review, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so.
For a period until December 6, 2025,
subject to valid existing rights, the BLM
lands described in this notice will be
segregated from location and entry
under the United States mining laws,
but not from leasing under the mineral
and geothermal leasing laws, while the
withdrawal application is being
processed, unless the application is
denied, canceled, or the withdrawal is
approved prior to that date.
The public lands described in this
notice would remain open to such forms
of disposition as may be allowed by law
on the public lands. Licenses, permits,
cooperative agreements, or discretionary
land use authorizations of a temporary
nature and which would not
significantly impact the values to be
protected by the requested withdrawal
may be allowed with the approval of the
authorized officer during the temporary
segregation period.
This withdrawal application will be
processed in accordance with the
regulations set-forth at 43 CFR 2300.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
I. Background
The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act
(IGRA), Public Law 100–497, 25 U.S.C.
2701, et seq., was signed into law on
October 17, 1988. The IGRA established
the National Indian Gaming
Commission (NIGC) and outlined a
comprehensive framework for the
regulation of gaming on Indian lands.
Among the IGRA’s requirements is that
persons who apply for a ‘‘key
employee’’ (KE) or ‘‘primary
management official’’ (PMO) position at
a tribal gaming operation must undergo
a background investigation
((§ 2710(b)(2)(F)(i)). Similarly, the IGRA
requires that persons who have direct or
indirect financial interest in, or
management responsibility for, a tribal
gaming management contract, must
undergo a background investigation and
be evaluated for suitability as part of the
NIGC’s management contract review
process ((§ 2711(a), (e)(1)(D)). In keeping
with these background investigative
statutory requirements, NIGC
regulations 25 CFR 522.2(g), 25 CFR
556.4(a)(14), and 25 CFR 537.1(b)(2)
stipulate that prospective KEs/PMOs
and management contractors must
submit their fingerprints to the Federal
Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and
undergo a criminal history record
information (CHRI) check.
Although CHRI checks are integral to
the tribal KE/PMO applicant licensing
process, tribes do not possess the
necessary statutory authority to directly
access FBI CHRI for this purpose. The
NIGC, as a Federal agency empowered
under the IGRA to access CHRI
(§§ 2706(b)(3) & (7), 2708), accepts tribal
fingerprint submissions and transmits
them to the FBI for this purpose. In
return, the FBI provides CHRI check
results to the NIGC and the NIGC shares
these results with the requesting tribe.
In this process, the NIGC assumes the
role of a CJIS Systems Agency (CSA), a
duly authorized agency on the CJIS
network that provides service to
criminal justice users with respect to the
criminal justice information (CJI) from
the various systems managed by the
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
84827
Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI)
CJIS Division.
The roles and responsibilities under
which the NIGC, FBI, and tribes process
CHRI checks are memorialized in
Memoranda of Understanding between
the FBI and the NIGC and between the
NIGC and each requesting tribe. One
such responsibility is to monitor the
dissemination of CHRI to ensure FBIcompliant privacy and security
standards are followed. This
responsibility is detailed in FBI CJIS
Security Policy, Policy Area 11
(CJISSECPOL 5.11.2) which specifies
that the NIGC, as a CSA, is required to
establish a process to periodically audit
tribes that receive CHRI to ensure
compliance with applicable statutes,
regulations and policies. To fulfill this
obligation, the NIGC has established a
CJIS Audit Unit (CAU), which is tasked
with coordinating with tribal authorities
to ensure that NIGC-disseminated CHRI
is handled and managed in accordance
with applicable statutes, regulations,
and policies.
In performing its oversight duties, the
CAU will deploy questionnaires to
gather information. This information
will be used to assess and document
tribal compliance with privacy and
security standards and will enable the
CAU to identify information
management risk factors that may
require remediation. This information
collection is a vital tool for the NIGC
CAU to be able to perform its function
and the performance of this function
helps to ensure that the NIGC can
continue to support the successful
operation of tribal gaming under IGRA.
II. Request for Comments
The Commission welcomes any
comments on these collections
concerning: (i) whether the collections
of information are necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(ii) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimates of the burdens (including the
hours and dollar costs) of the proposed
collections of information, including the
validity of the methodologies and
assumptions used; (iii) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; (iv) ways to
minimize the burdens of the
information collections on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
collection techniques or forms of
information technology.
Please note that an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
