NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Approved Class III Tribal 

Gaming Ordinance 

AGENCY: National Indian Gaming 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is 

to inform the public of the approval of 

Tulalip Tribes Class III gaming 

ordinance by the Chairman of the 

National Indian Gaming Commission. 

DATES: This notice is applicable 

December 12, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Dena Wynn, Office of General Counsel 

at the National Indian Gaming 

Commission, 202–632–7003, or by 

facsimile at 202–632–7066 (not toll-free 

numbers). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) 

25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., established the 

National Indian Gaming Commission 

(Commission). Section 2710 of IGRA 

authorizes the Chairman of the 

Commission to approve Class II and 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
100522 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 239 / Thursday, December 12, 2024 / Notices 

Class III tribal gaming ordinances. 

Section 2710(d)(2)(B) of IGRA, as 

implemented by NIGC regulations, 25 

CFR 522.8, requires the Chairman to 

publish, in the Federal Register, 

approved Class III tribal gaming 

ordinances and the approvals thereof. 

IGRA requires all tribal gaming 

ordinances to contain the same 

requirements concerning tribes’ sole 

proprietary interest and responsibility 

for the gaming activity, use of net 

revenues, annual audits, health and 

safety, background investigations and 

licensing of key employees and primary 

management officials. The Commission, 

therefore, believes that publication of 

each ordinance in the Federal Register 

would be redundant and result in 

unnecessary cost to the Commission. 

Thus, the Commission believes that 

publishing a notice of approved Class III 

tribal gaming ordinances in the Federal 

Register, is sufficient to meet the 

requirements of 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(2)(B). 

Every ordinance and approval thereof is 

posted on the Commission’s website 

(www.nigc.gov) under General Counsel, 

Gaming Ordinances within five (5) 

business days of approval. 

On December 7, 2023, the Chairman 

of the National Indian Gaming 

Commission approved Tulalip Tribes 

Class III Gaming Ordinance. A copy of 

the approval letter is posted with this 

notice and can be found with the 

approved ordinance on the NIGC’s 

website (www.nigc.gov) under General 

Counsel, Gaming Ordinances. A copy of 

the approved Class III ordinance will 

also be made available upon request. 

Requests can be made in writing to the 

Office of General Counsel, National 

Indian Gaming Commission, Attn: Dena 

Wynn, 1849 C Street NW, MS #1621, 

Washington, DC 20240 or at info@

Re: Tulalip Tribes Amended Gaming 

Ordinance 

Dear Chair Gobin: 

This letter responds to the September 11, 

2023 email submission on behalf of the 

Tulalip Tribes (Tribes) informing the 

National Indian Gaming Commission that the 

Tribes amended its gaming ordinance on 

September 1, 2023 through Resolution 2023– 

401. The amendment adds a subsection to the 

Tribes’ ordinance that permits the Tulalip 

Gaming Agency to issue civil fines to tribal 

gaming operators, vendors, and 

manufacturers for failure to comply with the 

Tribes’ gaming compact with the State of 

Washington. 

Thank you for bringing this amendment to 

our attention and for providing us with a 

thorough submission of the Tribes’ gaming 

laws and regulations. Please be aware, on 

August 15, 2023, the NIGC published final 

rules for Parts 502 (Definitions) and 558 

(Gaming Licenses for Key Employees and 

Primary Management Officials), among other 

revisions, which became effective on 

September 14, 2023.1 The Nation’s 

Ordinance does not reflect the recent changes 

made to the definitions of ‘‘key employee’’ 

and ‘‘primary management official’’ at 25 

CFR 502.14 and 502.19, respectively. 

However, I have been assured that the Tribes 

are aware of the changes to NIGC regulations 

and will incorporate them into the Tribes’ 

gaming ordinance. The Tribes’ attorney has 

indicated that they had attended NIGC’s 

informational session on the regulation 

changes and will submit additional 

amendments after tribal leadership has a 

chance to approve them. As such, the 

amended ordinance is approved. 

If you have any questions, please contact 

NIGC Staff Attorney Josh Proper at 

joshua.proper@nigc.gov or 540–760–3026. 

Sincerely, 

E. Sequoyah Simermeyer, Chairman 

1 88 FR 55, 366 (August 15, 2023).

the determinations in this notice, 

including the results of consultation, 

can be found in the summary or related 

records. The National Park Service is

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of one cultural item has been 

requested for repatriation. The one 

unassociated funerary object is a 

discoidal stone from an unknown site in 

McCracken County, Kentucky. This item 

was accessioned into the University of 

Kansas in 1992 when the Menninger 

Foundation deaccessioned its collection 

to the University. 

Determinations 

The University of Kansas has 

determined that: 

• The one unassociated funerary 

object described in this notice is 

reasonably believed to have been placed 

intentionally with or near human 

remains, and is connected, either at the 

time of death or later as part of the death 

rite or ceremony of a Native American 

culture according to the Native 

American traditional knowledge of a 

lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or 

Native Hawaiian organization. The 

unassociated funerary object has been 

identified by a preponderance of the 

evidence as related to human remains, 

specific individuals, or families, or 

removed from a specific burial site or 

burial area of an individual or 

individuals with cultural affiliation to 

an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural item described in 

this notice and The Chickasaw Nation. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Additional, written requests for 

repatriation of the cultural item in this 

notice must be sent to the authorized 

representative identified in this notice 

under ADDRESSES. Requests for 

repatriation may be submitted by any 

lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or 

Native Hawaiian organization not 

identified in this notice who shows, by 

a preponderance of the evidence, that 

the requestor is a lineal descendant or 

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization.
