25 CFR Ch. III

Semiannual Regulatory Agenda

AGENCY: National Indian Gaming Commission.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The National Indian Gaming Commission is today publishing an 
agenda of its open and anticipated rulemaking actions. The agenda is a 
general announcement to the public intended to provide notice of 
rulemaking actions in which the public may wish to participate. The 
Commission intends to issue Notices of Proposed Rulemaking for rules 
concerning definitions and practice before the Commission in June 1996; 
rules concerning hearings and appeals procedure in July 1996; and rules 
concerning enforcement in August 1996. The Commission invites questions 
and public comment on individual agenda items.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas R. Acevedo, National Indian 
Gaming Commission, 1441 L Street NW., 9th Floor, Washington, DC 20005, 
(202) 632-7003 (not a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with Executive Order 12866 
``Regulatory Planning and Review'' and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 
5 U.S.C. 605, executive agencies are required to publish semiannual 
regulatory agendas in the Federal Register in April and October of each 
year.

    The regulations being considered by the Commission are not 
``significant'' rules within the meaning of E.O. 12866, and no 
regulatory impact analysis is required. The Commission also has 
determined, under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, that the 
regulations under consideration will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
Accordingly, no Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is required.

Harold A. Monteau,

Chairman, National Indian Gaming Commission.
