NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING COMMISSION


Notice of Approval of Class III Tribal Gaming Ordinances

AGENCY: National Indian Gaming Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of class 
III gaming ordinances approved by the Chairman of the National Indian 
Gaming Commission.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Christine Lambert at (202) 632-7003, or by facsimile at (202) 632-7066 
(not toll-free numbers).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Indian Gaming Regulator Act (IGRA) 25 
U.S.C. 2701 et seq., was signed into law on October 17, 1988. The IGRA 
established the National Indian Gaming Commission (the Commission). 
Section 2710 of the IGRA authorizes the Commission to approve class II 
and class III tribal gaming ordinances. Section 2710(d)(2)(B) of the 
IGRA as implemented by 25 CFR 522.8 (58 FR 5811 (January 22, 1993)), 
requires the Commission to publish, in the Federal Register, approved 
class III gaming ordinances.
    The IGRA requires all tribal gaming ordinances to contain the same 
requirements concerning ownership of the gaming activity, use of net 
revenues, annual audits, health and safety, background investigations 
and licensing of key employees. The Commission, therefore, believes 
that publication of each ordinance in the Federal Register would be 
redundant and result in unnecessary cost to the Commission. The 
Commission believes that publishing a notice of approval of each class 
III gaming ordinance is sufficient to meet the requirements of 25 
U.S.C. 2710(d)(2)(B). Also, the Commission will make copies of approved 
class III ordinances available to the public upon request. Requests can 
be made in writing to: National Indian Gaming Commission, 1850 M St., 
NW, Suite 250, Washington, DC 20036.
