NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING COMMISSION


Fee Rates

AGENCY: National Indian Gaming Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 25 CFR 514.1(a)(3), that 
the National Indian Gaming Commission has adopted a preliminarily 
annual fee rate of 0.5% (.005) for calendar year 1997. This rate shall 
apply to all assessable gross revenues (tier 1 and tier 2) from each 
class II gaming operation regulated by the Commission.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cindy Altimus, National Indian Gaming 
Commission, 1441 L Street, NW, 9th Floor, Washington, DC 20005; 
telephone 202/632-7003; fax 202/632-7066 (these are not toll-free 
numbers).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act established 
the National Indian Gaming Commission which is charged with, among 
other things, regulating class II gaming on Indian lands.

    The regulations of the Commission (25 CFR part 500) provide for a 
system of fee assessment and payment that is self-administered by the 
class II gaming operations. Pursuant to those regulations, the 
Commission is required to adopt and communicate assessment rates; the 
gaming operations are required to apply those rates to their revenues, 
compute the fees to be paid, report the revenues, and remit the fees to 
the Commission on a quarterly basis.
    The regulations of the Commission and the rate being adopted today 
are effective for calendar year 1997. Therefore, all Class II gaming 
operations within the jurisdiction of the Commission are required to 
self-administer the provisions of these regulations and report and pay 
any fees that are due to the Commission before the end of calendar year 
1997 (December 31).
Ada Deer,
Acting Chair, National Indian Gaming Commission.
