Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 194 / Thursday, October 8, 2009 / Notices 51875 

entities must be licensed by the State of 

Washington. The Amendment also 

significantly modifies the dispute 

resolution processes to a more 

collaborative model providing a prompt 

‘‘meet and confer’’ requirement, then 

mediation, and finally, as a last resort, 

either arbitration or litigation. The 

Tribe’s limited waiver of sovereign 

immunity is clarified and narrowed to 

include only disputes arising under the 

compact. The State similarly waives its 

sovereign immunity, including a 

specific waiver of the State’s Eleventh 

Amendment immunity from suit for the 

purposes of enforcing the compact. 

Finally, the proposed amendment 

changes the annual licensing 

requirements from annually to every 

three years.
