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 final annual fee 
rates of 0.00% for tier 1 and 0.0665% (.000665) for tier 2 for calendar 
year 2002. These rates shall apply to all assessable gross revenues 
from each gaming operation under the jurisdiction of the Commission. If 
a tribe has a certificate of self-regulation under 25 CFR part 518, the 
final fee rate on class II revenues for calendar year 2002 shall be 
one-half of the annual fee rate, which is 0.03325% (.0003325).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bobby Gordon, National Indian Gaming 
Commission, 1441 L Street, NW., Suite 9100, 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 gaming on Indian lands.
    The regulations of the Commission (25 CFR part 514), as amended, 
provide for a system of fee assessment and payment that is self-
administered by 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 final annual rate being 
adopted today are effective for calendar year 2002. Therefore, all 
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 by December 31, 
2002.

Richard B. Schiff,
Acting Chief of Staff, National Indian Gaming Commission.
