SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On June 1, 2022, the National Indian 

Gaming Commission published a 

proposed rule to amend the Agency’s 

audit standards regulations. The 

proposed rule will amend the 

regulations to eliminate the Commission 

waiver requirement for reviewed 

financial statements and allow all 

operations grossing less than $2 million 

in the previous fiscal year to submit 

reviewed financial statements provided 

that the tribe or tribal gaming regulatory 

authority (TGRA) permits the gaming 

operation to submit reviewed financials. 

The proposed amendment to the rule 

will also create a third tier of financial 

reporting for charitable gaming 

operations with annual gross revenues 

of $50,000 or less where, if permitted by 

the tribe, a charitable gaming operation 

may submit financial information on a 

monthly basis to the tribe or the TGRA 

and in turn, the tribe or TGRA provides 

an annual certification to the NIGC 

regarding the charitable gaming 

operation’s compliance with the 

financial reporting. The proposed 

amendment also adds a provision 

clarifying that the submission of an 

adverse opinion does not satisfy the 

regulation’s reporting requirements. 

II. Reopening of Comment Period 

At the request of interested parties, 

the Commission is reopening the 

comment period until August 1, 2022.

Six Mile Munitions Storage Area on 

Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, 

Alaska; Knik Arm; Restricted Area 

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

and request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) is proposing to revise 

its regulations to establish a restricted 

area within the explosive arc of Six Mile 

Munitions Storage Area (MSA) on Joint 

Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER). The 

United States Air Force—Pacific Air 

Command (USAF PACAF) requested 

establishment of a restricted area which 

would be located within the navigable 

waters of Knik Arm which are a part of 

the Six Mile MSA explosive arc. The 

proposed restricted area would extend 

from the shoreline to the outward limits 

of the arc. Establishment of the 

restricted area would prohibit all 

watercraft navigations and individuals 

from entering the explosive arc area of 

the Six Mile MSA at all times except for 

authorized vessels and individuals in

support of military training and 

management activities. This restricted 

area is necessary to avoid inadvertent 

entry into the explosive arc during an 

inadvertent detonation, and exposure to 

hazardous noise and fragments from 

such a detonation. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted on or before August 12, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number COE–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background 

Pursuant to its authorities in Section 

7 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1917 

(40 Stat. 266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and Chapter 

XIX of the Army Appropriations Act of 

1919 (40 Stat. 892; 33 U.S.C. 3) the 

Corps is proposing to amend its 

regulations at 33 CFR part 334 to 

establish a restricted area within the 

navigable waters of Knik Arm. The 

proposed amendment to this regulation 

would allow the USAF PACAF 673rd 

Air Base Wing to prevent all vessels, 

watercraft, and individuals from 

entering the explosive arc area of the Six 

Mile MSA at JBER at all times, except 

for authorized vessels and individuals 

engaged in support of military training 

and management activities. The 

proposed restricted area would be in 

place as a precautionary measure to 

protect the public from inadvertently 

entering or being within the explosive 

arc during an inadvertent detonation, 

and encountering hazardous noise and 

fragments from such a detonation. The 

proposed restricted area would allow 

USAF PACAF to maintain control and 

reduce access to this area of Knik Arm, 

and to maintain the Six Mile MSA’s Net 

Explosive Weight (NEW) storage 

capabilities. Without designation of a 

restricted area, the NEW storage 

capabilities would be required to be 

reduced, which would have significant 

impact to USAF PACAF’s current 

operations (i.e., mass re-warehousing 

would be required) and could affect 

wartime capabilities. 

Procedural Requirements 

a. Regulatory Planning and Review. 

This proposed rule is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 

1993) and it was not submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget for 

review. 

b. Review Under the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. This proposed rule has 

been reviewed under the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96–354). The 

Regulatory Flexibility Act generally 

requires an agency to prepare a 

regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule 

subject to notice-and-comment 

rulemaking requirements under the 

Administrative Procedure Act or any 

other statute unless the agency certifies 

that the rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities (i.e., small 

businesses and small governments). 

The Corps certifies under 5 U.S.C. 

605(b) that this proposed rule would not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

The restricted area is necessary to 

protect public safety. This restricted 

regulation would prevent all vessels, 

watercraft and individuals from 

entering, or remaining in, an active 

military range munitions impact area at 

all times, unless they are authorized by 

the enforcing agency. Small entities can 

utilize navigable waters outside of the 

restricted area. Unless information is 

obtained to the contrary during the 

comment period, the Corps expects that 

the economic impact of the proposed 

restricted area would have practically 

no impact on the public, any anticipated 

navigational hazard or interference with 

existing waterway traffic. After 

considering the economic impacts of 

this restricted area regulation on small 

entities, I certify that this proposed rule 

would not have a significant impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

c. Review Under the National 

Environmental Policy Act. Due to the 

administrative nature of this action and 

because there is no intended change in 

the use of the area, the Corps expects 

that this regulation, if adopted, will not 

have a significant impact on the quality 

of the human environment and, 

therefore, preparation of an 

environmental impact statement will 

not be required. An environmental 

assessment will be prepared after the 

public notice period is closed and all 

comments have been received and 

considered. 

d. Unfunded Mandates Act. This 

proposed rule does not contain a 

Federal mandate that may result in 

expenditures of $100 million or more 

for state, local, and tribal governments, 

in the aggregate, or the private sector in 

any one year. Therefore, this proposed 

rule is not subject to the requirements 

of Sections 202 and 205 of the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA). The proposed rule contains no 

regulatory requirements that might 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. Therefore, the proposed 

rule is not subject to the requirements 

of Section 203 of the UMRA.

40 Stat. 892 (33 U.S.C. 3). 

■ 2. Add § 334.1303 to read as follows: 

§ 334.1303 Navigable waters of Knik Arm 

within the explosive arc of the Six Mile 

Munitions Storage Area off the northeastern 

side of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson; 

restricted area. 

(a) The area. The restricted area will 

consist of the waters with an area 

defined as beginning at a point on shore 

at latitude 61°17′35′′ N, longitude 

149°50′3′′ W; thence northward in an arc 

to the mid-arc point at latitude 

61°18′19′′ N, longitude 149°50′6′′ W; 

continuing northward in an arc to the 

end point on shore at latitude 61°18′36′′ 

N, longitude 149°49′1′′ W. The datum 

for these coordinates is NAD–83. 

(b) The regulation. The restricted area 

is permanently closed for public use at 

all times. No persons, watercraft, or 

vessels shall enter, or remain, in the 

area except for those authorized by the 

enforcing agency. 

(c) Enforcement. This regulation will 

be enforced by the United States Air 

Force Pacific Air Command 673rd Air 

Base Wing.
