NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING COMMISSION


Fee Rate

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 0.057% (.00057) for tier 2 for calendar 
year 2008. 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 2008 shall be 
one-half of the annual fee rate, which is 0.0285% (.000285).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kwame Mambo, 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 (IGRA) 
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 rate being adopted 
today are effective for calendar year 2008. 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, 2008.

    Dated: December 1, 2008.
Philip N. Hogen,
Chairman, National Indian Gaming Commission.
