Act (IGRA) requires the Secretary of the Interior to publish in the 
Federal Register notice of approved Tribal-State compacts that are for 
the purpose of engaging in Class III gaming activities on Indian lands. 
See Public Law 100-497, 25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq. All Tribal-State Class 
III compacts, including amendments, are subject to review and approval 
by the Secretary under 25 CFR 293.4. The Secretary took no action on 
the compacts within 45 days of their submission. Therefore, the 
compacts are considered to have been approved, but only to the extent 
the compacts are consistent with IGRA. See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8)(C).

    Dated: November 22, 2016.
Lawrence S. Roberts,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary--Indian Affairs.
