(IGRA), Pub. L. 100–497, 25 U.S.C.

2710, the Secretary of the Interior shall

publish, in the Federal Register, notice

of Tribal-State Compacts for the purpose

of engaging in Class III (casino)

gambling on Indian reservations. The

Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs,

Department of the Interior, through her

delegated authority, is publishing the

Tribal-State Compact between the

Mexico executed on July 11, 1997. By

the terms of IGRA this Compact is

considered approved, but only to the

extent the compact is consistent with

the provisions of IGRA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department believes that the decision to

let the 45-day statutory deadline for

approval or disapproval of the Compact

expire without taking action is the most

appropriate course of action given the

unique history of state and federal court

cases and legislative actions that have

shaped the course of Indian gaming in

New Mexico. A letter further explaining

the Department’s decision is available

from the Bureau of Indian Affairs,

Indian Gaming Management Staff at the

address below.
