ABSTRACT: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., 102 
Stat. 2467, Pub. L. 100-497) (the Act) established the National Indian 
Gaming Commission which is charged with, among other things, regulating 
class II gaming on Indian lands. The Act establishes the National 
Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC, or the Commission) as an independent 
federal regulatory agency. 25 CFR part 514, in accordance with the Act, 
authorizes the National Indian Gaming Commission (the Commission) to 
establish a schedule of fees to be paid to the Commission by each Class 
II gaming operation regulated by the Act. Fees are computed using rates 
set by the Commission and the assessable gross revenues of each gaming 
operation. The total of all fees assessed annually cannot exceed 
$1,500,000. The required information is needed for the Commission to 
both set and adjust rates and to support the computations of fees paid 
by each gaming operation.

    Respondents: Class II gaming operations.
    Number of Respondents: 201.
    Estimate of Burden: An average of 5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1,005 hours. Send
