SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On December 1, 2021, the National Indian Gaming Commission 
published a proposed rule to amend the Agency's facility license 
notification regulations. The proposed rule would modify the 
requirement that facility license notice submissions include a name and 
address of the proposed gaming facility. Specifically, the National 
Indian Gaming Commission would require the submission of the name and 
address of the property only if known when the facility license 
notification is submitted to the NIGC Chair. The Commission proposes 
this action to assist tribal governments, and tribal gaming regulatory 
authorities that face challenges in meeting the regulatory requirement 
in instances where a facility has not been issued a name or address.

II. Reopening of Comment Period

    Due to technical difficulties, comments sent to the email address 
[email protected], may not have been received by the NIGC. The NIGC 
has since corrected the issue and the email address is able to receive 
submissions. So that the Commission may ensure that it may consider all 
comments, it is reopening the comment period for seven days. Please 
resubmit at comments sent via email to the same email address.

Michael Hoenig,
General Counsel.
