SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 25 CFR 514.1(a)(3), that 
the National Indian Gaming Commission has adopted preliminary annual 
fee rates of 0.00% for tier 1 and 0.053% (.00053) for tier 2 for 
calendar year 2006. 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 preliminary fee rate on class II revenues for 
calendar year 2006 shall be one-half of the annual fee rate, which is 
0.0265% (.000265).

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 whish 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 preliminary rate being 
adopted today are effective for calendar year 2006. 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 March 31, 
2006.

Irene Schrader,
Director of Administration, National Indian Gaming Commission.
