NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING COMMISION


Notice of Approved Class III Tribal Gaming Ordinances

AGENCY: National Indian Gaming Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of Class 
III tribal gaming ordinances approved by the Chairman of the National 
Indian Gaming Commission.

[[Page 73801]]


DATES: This notice is applicable December 28, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tearanie McCain, Office of General 
Counsel at the National Indian Gaming Commission, 202-632-7003, or by 
facsimile at 202-632-7066 (not toll-free numbers).

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 Chairman 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 Chairman 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 believes that publishing a notice of approved 
Class III tribal gaming ordinances in the Federal Register is 
sufficient to meet the requirements of 25 U.S.C. 2710 (d) (2) (B). 
Beginning September 30, 2021, the NIGC will publish the notice of 
approved gaming ordinances quarterly, by March 31, June 30, September 
30, and December 31 of each year.
    Every approved tribal gaming ordinance, every approved ordinance 
amendment, and the approval thereof, will be posted on the Commission's 
website (www.nigc.gov) under General Counsel, Gaming Ordinances within 
five (5) business days of approval. 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, Attn: Tearanie McCain, C/O 
Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street NW, MS #1621, Washington, DC 
20240.
