25 CFR Ch. III

Semiannual Regulatory Agenda

AGENCY: National Indian Gaming Commission.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The National Indian Gaming Commission today is 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. In the 
near future, the Commission intends to issue Notices of Proposed 
Rulemaking for rules concerning definitions and practice before the 
Commission; rules concerning hearings and appeals procedures; and rules 
concerning enforcement. The Commission invites questions and public 
comment on individual agenda items.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael D. Cox, 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. The 
proposed rules are not covered under section 202 of the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act (Pub. L. 104-4), as they are not Federal 
mandates that may result in an expenditure of $100 million or more 
in any 1 year by State, local, and tribal governments, in the 
aggregate, or the private sector. Further, these proposed rules are 
not considered major under 5 U.S.C. 801 enacted by Public Law 104-
121 and, therefore, are not subject to section 801's 60-day 
deferral requirement.

Harold A. Monteau,

Chairman, National Indian Gaming Commission.
