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 of Washington’s Class III 

gaming ordinance by the Chairman of 

the National Indian Gaming 

Commission. 

DATES: This notice is applicable July 6, 

2022.

Commission, 202–632–7003, or by

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 

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).

Re: Paskenta Band Amended Gaming 

Ordinance 

Dear Chairman Alejandra: 

This letter responds to the March 21, 2022 

submission on behalf of the Paskenta Band of 

Nomlaki Indians (‘‘Tribe’’) informing the 

National Indian Gaming Commission that the 

Tribe amended its gaming ordinance. The 

amendments to the tribal gaming code were 

intended to update the ordinance to reflect 

changes in tribal law, ensure consistency 

with federal law and bring it in conformity 

with the Tribe’s new gaming compact with 

the State of California that became effective 

on December 11, 2020. 

25 CFR 522.2(t) requires a tribe to submit 

a description for resolving disputes between 

the gaming public and the tribe with any 

request for approval of a gaming ordinance. 

Previously, the dispute resolution process 

was described in the Tribe’s ordinance. 

Resolution TC2022–5 amends the gaming 

ordinance to now require the gaming 

commission to promulgate dispute resolution 

regulations that meet the minimum standards 

set forth in the Tribe’s gaming compact. 

Since the amended gaming ordinance 

specifies that any dispute resolution process 

must meet the minimum standards of the 

Tribe’s gaming compact, it is my 

understanding that in the absence of an 

approved dispute resolution regulations, the 

dispute resolution process described in 

gaming compact will control. 

Thank you for bringing these amendments 

to our attention. The amended ordinance, as 

noted above, is approved as it is consistent 

with the requirements of the Indian Gaming 

Regulatory Act and NIGC’s regulations. If you 

have any questions or require anything 

further, please contact Josh Proper at (202)
