for Kaw Nation/Oklahoma Off-Track Wagering Compact of May 25, 2001, 
between the Kaw Nation and the State of Oklahoma.

DATES: December 27, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Paula L. Hart, Director, Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 11 of the Indian Gaming 
Regulatory Act (IGRA), Pub. L. 100-497, 25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., the 
Secretary of the Interior shall publish in the Federal Register notice 
of approved Tribal-State compacts for the purpose of engaging in Class 
III gaming activities on Indian lands. As required by 25 CFR 293.4, all 
compacts and amendments are subject to review and approval by the 
Secretary. The Modification changes the existing off-track wagering 
location in the Compact from Newkirk, Oklahoma, to Braman, Oklahoma. 
The Secretary took no action on the compact between the Kaw Nation and 
the State of Oklahoma within 45 days of its submission. Therefore, the 
Compact is considered to have been approved, but only to the extent the 
Compact is consistent with IGRA. See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8)(C).

    Dated: December 13, 2018.
John Tahsuda,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary--Indian Affairs.
