Counsel at the National Indian Gaming Commission, 202-632-7003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA), 25 
U.S.C. 2701 et seq., established the National Indian Gaming Commission 
(Commission). Section 2710 of IGRA authorizes the Chair of the 
Commission to approve Class II and Class III tribal gaming ordinances. 
Section 2710(d)(2)(B) of IGRA, as implemented by NIGC regulations, 25 
CFR 522.8, requires the Chair to publish in the Federal Register 
approved Class III tribal gaming ordinances and the approvals thereof.
    IGRA requires all tribal gaming ordinances to contain the same 
requirements concerning tribes' sole proprietary interest and 
responsibility for the gaming activity, use of net revenues, annual 
audits, health and safety, background investigations and licensing of 
key employees and primary management officials. The Commission, 
therefore, believes that publication of each ordinance in the Federal 
Register would be redundant and result in unnecessary cost to the 
Commission.
    Thus, the Commission views the publishing a notice of approved 
Class III tribal gaming ordinances in the Federal Register as 
sufficient to meet the requirements of 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(2)(B). Every 
approved tribal gaming ordinance, every approved ordinance amendment, 
and the approval thereof, are posted on the Commission's Web site 
(www.nigc.gov) under Reading Room, Gaming Ordinances. Also, the 
Commission will make copies of approved Class III ordinances available 
to the public upon request. Requests can be made in writing to the 
Office of General Counsel, National Indian Gaming Commission, 
Attention: Office of General Counsel, 1441 L Street NW., Suite 9100, 
Washington, DC 20005.
