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, 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 revised annual 
rates being adopted today are effective for calendar years 1996 and 
1997. As a result, the Commission shall credit each gaming operation 
pro-rata fees collected in excess of $1,500,000.00 during those years. 
The Commission will notify each gaming operation as to the amounts of 
overpayments, if any; and therefore the amounts of credit to be taken 
against the next quarterly payment(s) otherwise due.

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