implement section 1122 of the Native 

American Education Improvement Act 

of 2001 (Pub. L. 95–561, title XI, § 1120, 

as added Pub. L. 107–110, title X, 

§ 1042, Jan. 8, 2002, 115 Stat. 2007). 

These regulations require the BIE to 

implement national standards for homeliving situations in all BIE-funded 

residential schools. The BIE must 

collect information from all BIE-funded 

residential schools in order to assess 

each school’s progress in meeting the 

national standards. Submission of this 

information allows the BIE to ensure 

that minimum academic standards for 

the education of Indian children and 

criteria for dormitory situations in 

Bureau-operated schools and Indiancontrolled contract schools are met. 

The authorities for this action are 25 

U.S.C. 2000–2021 and the Paperwork

1969 (NEPA), as amended, Executive 

Order 11514, as amended, and Council 

on Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations for implementing the 

procedural provisions of NEPA for 

certain NIGC actions. 

DATES: The NIGC will implement this 

protocol immediately upon publication.

National Indian Gaming Commission:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On December 4, 2009, the 

Commission published a draft NEPA 

manual in the Federal Register (74 FR 

63765). The purpose of the manual was 

to establish the Commission’s NEPArelated policies and procedures and to 

integrate environmental considerations 

into the Commission’s decision-making 

processes. The draft manual identified 

one type of major federal action 

performed under the Indian Gaming 

Regulatory Act (IGRA) that triggered 

NEPA review, specifically, the approval 

of contracts for the management of 

Indian gaming facilities pursuant to 25 

U.S.C. 2711. In addition to identifying 

major federal actions applicable to the 

Commission, the draft manual also 

established the Commission’s NEPArelated roles and responsibilities and 

created a framework for the preparation 

of NEPA documentation appropriate for 

each level of environmental review. The 

draft manual also identified three 

categories of actions taken by the NIGC 

that are categorically excluded from 

further NEPA review. Categorical 


sradovich on DSKBCFCHB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 145 / Monday, July 31, 2017 / Notices 35543 

exclusions (CATEX) are actions that do 

not normally require preparation of an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) or 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), 

absent extraordinary circumstances. 

On May 22, 2012, after reviewing the 

comments submitted on the draft NEPA 

manual, the Commission published a 

Protocol for Categorical Exclusions 

Supplementing the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations 

Implementing the Procedural Provisions 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act for Certain National Indian Gaming 

Commissions Actions and Activities (77 

FR 30315) and requested comments by 

June 30, 2012. This publication formally 

adopted two of the three categorical 

exclusions listed in the draft NEPA 

manual. 

In 2015, after evaluating its past 

environmental reviews for management 

contract approvals and the comments 

received on the 2009 draft NEPA 

manual, the Commission decided to 

revisit its policies and procedures for 

implementing NEPA. To obtain updated 

views from the regulated community, 

the Commission held several 

consultation sessions over a two-year 

period with tribal nations and solicited 

comments regarding the scope and 

extent of its NEPA responsibilities. 

Following consultation, the Commission 

evaluated the newly submitted 

comments in conjunction with those 

received in response to the 2009 draft 

manual and decided to amend the 2012 

Protocol to include a third CATEX for 

Management Contract and Agreement 

Review Activities. This CATEX will 

apply to certain management contract 

approvals that are not associated with 

an application to take land into trust 

and do not provide for construction or 

expansion of existing structures. In 

identifying this category of actions, the 

NIGC relied on its past experience, 

several environmental professionals’ 

opinions and comparisons with other 

Federal agency actions that are 

categorically excluded. 

Comments 

On January 11, 2017, the Commission 

published a notice of proposed action 

and request for comments on the 

amended protocol in the Federal 

Register (82 FR 3352). In response, it 

received only one comment. The 

commenter requested that the Native 

American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) 25 U.S.C. 

3001–3013 be included within the list of 

examples of environmental laws with 

which parties seeking to apply the 

categorical exclusion must comply. The 

Commission agrees and updated the 

language accordingly. 

The same commenter also questioned 

how the Commission would interpret 

the term ‘‘known’’ with respect to the 

extraordinary circumstances involving 

‘‘known cultural or archaeological 

resources.’’ Given the potential for 

confusion regarding this term, the 

Commission eliminated the term and, 

instead, references the Archaeological 

Resources Protection Act (ARPA) 16 

U.S.C. 470aa–470mm, and NAGPRA. 

The Commission believes that 

referencing the particular statutes 

sufficiently demonstrates its intent to 

abide by the objective, legal definitions 

and processes set forth therein. 

After considering the comments, the 

Commission hereby adopts the amended 

protocol set forth below for determining 

whether a categorical exclusion applies 

to particular action as well as the 

categories of actions the Commission 

has determined are eligible for 

categorical exclusions. 

A copy of this Federal Register 

publication, as well as the 

administrative record for the newly 

established categorical exclusion, is 

available at http://www.nigc.gov. A copy 

of the Federal Register publication is 

available at http://www.regulations.gov. 

Tribal Consultation 

The National Indian Gaming 

Commission is committed to fulfilling 

its tribal consultation obligations— 

whether directed by statute or 

administrative action such as Executive 

Order (EO) 13175 (Consultation and 

Coordination with Indian Tribal 

Governments)—by adhering to the 

consultation framework described in its 

Consultation Policy published July 15, 

2013. Pursuant to the Order, the 

Commission engaged in extensive 

consultation on this topic. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This Protocol will not have a 

significant economic effect on a 

substantial number of small entities as 

defined under the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. Indian tribes 

are not considered to be small entities 

for the purposes of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act 

This Protocol is not a major rule 

under 5 U.S.C. 804(2), the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act. This Protocol does not 

have an annual effect on the economy 

of $100 million or more. This rule will 

not cause a major increase in costs or 

prices for consumers, individual 

industries, Federal, state or local 

government agencies or geographic 

regions, and does not have a significant 

adverse effect on competition, 

employment, investment, productivity, 

innovation, or the ability of U.S.-based 

enterprises to compete with foreignbased enterprises. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Commission, as an independent 

regulatory agency within the 

Department of the Interior, is exempt 

from compliance with the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act. 2 U.S.C. 1502(1); 

2 U.S.C. 658(1). 

Takings 

In accordance with Executive Order 

12630, the Commission has determined 

that this Protocol does not have 

significant takings implications. A 

takings implication assessment is not 

required. 

Civil Justice Reform 

In accordance with Executive Order 

12988, the Office of General Counsel has 

determined that the Protocol does not 

unduly burden the judicial system and 

meets the requirements of sections 3(a) 

and 3(b)(2) of the Executive Order. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

This Protocol supplements CEQ 

regulations and provides guidance to 

NIGC employees regarding procedural 

requirements for the application of 

NEPA provisions to certain NIGC 

actions. The CEQ does not direct 

agencies to prepare a NEPA analysis or 

document before establishing agency 

procedures for implementing NEPA. 

For the reasons set out in the 

preamble, the National Indian Gaming 

Commission establishes the following 

Protocol: 

Protocol for Categorical Exclusions 

(CATEX) of Certain Actions 

The use of a CATEX can only be 

applied to an action if all of the 

following criteria are met: 

1. The responsible NIGC official must 

determine that the entirety of the NIGC 

action is encompassed by one of the 

listed CATEXs. 

2. The responsible NIGC official must 

determine that the action has not been 

segmented in order for the NIGC action 

to meet the definition of an action that 

can qualify for a CATEX. Segmentation 

occurs when an action is broken into 

smaller parts in an effort to avoid 

properly documenting impacts 

associated with the complete action. 

Segmentation also occurs when the 

NIGC action is too narrowly defined and 

the potential impacts are minimized in 

order to avoid a higher level of NEPA 

documentation. Connected and 


sradovich on DSKBCFCHB2PROD with NOTICES
35544 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 145 / Monday, July 31, 2017 / Notices 

cumulative actions must be considered 

(See 40 CFR 1508.25). 

3. The responsible NIGC official must 

determine if the NIGC action will 

involve any extraordinary 

circumstances that would prevent the 

use of a categorical exclusion. 

Categorical Exclusions 

The NIGC, based on past experience 

with similar actions, has determined 

that the following types of actions are 

categorically excluded and do not 

require the preparation of an EA or EIS 

because they will not individually or 

cumulatively result in a significant 

impact on the human environment. 

These types of federal actions meet the 

criteria established in 40 CFR 1508.4. 

Category 1—Administrative and Routine 

Office Activities 

A. Normal personnel, fiscal, and 

administrative activities involving 

personnel (recruiting, hiring, detailing, 

processing, paying, supervising and 

records keeping). 

B. Preparation of administrative or 

personnel-related studies, reports, or 

investigations. 

C. Routine procurement of goods and 

services to support operations and 

infrastructure, including routine utility 

services and contracts, conducted in 

accordance with applicable 

procurement regulations, executive 

orders, and policies (e.g. Executive 

Order 13101). 

D. Normal administrative office 

functions (record keeping; inspecting, 

examining, and auditing papers, books, 

and records; processing correspondence; 

developing and approving budgets; 

setting fee payments; responding to 

request for information). 

E. Routine activities and operations 

conducted on or in an existing structure 

that are within the scope and 

compatibility of the present functional 

use of the building, will not result in a 

substantial increase in waste discharge 

to the environment, will not result in 

substantially different waste discharges 

from current or previous activities, and 

will not result in emissions that exceed 

established permit limits, if any. In 

these cases, a Record of Environmental 

Consideration (REC), documentation is 

required. 

F. NIGC training in classrooms, 

meeting rooms, gaming facilities, or via 

the internet. 

Category 2—Regulation, Monitoring and 

Oversight of Indian Gaming Activities 

A. Promulgation or publication of 

regulations, procedures, manuals, and 

guidance documents. 

B. Support of compliance and 

enforcement functions by conducting 

compliance training for tribal gaming 

regulators and managers in classrooms, 

meeting rooms, gaming facilities, or via 

the internet. 

C. Preparing and issuing subpoenas, 

holding hearings, and taking 

depositions for informational gathering 

purposes, not associated with 

administrative enforcement actions. 

Category 3—Management Contract and 

Agreement Review Activities 

A. Approval or disapproval of 

management contracts, management 

contract amendments and collateral 

agreements that meet the following 

criteria: (1) Are not associated with an 

application to take land into trust; (2) 

does not provide for construction or 

expansion of existing facilities; (3) 

ensures compliance with all federal, 

state, local and tribal environmental 

laws (e.g. Clean Air Act, Clean Water 

Act, Endangered Species Act, National 

Historic Preservation Act, Native 

American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act, etc.), regulations, and 

permit requirements; and (4) ensures 

adequate provision of utilities, law 

enforcement, fire protection, and other 

emergency service coverage without 

effects on neighboring areas. In these 

cases, a Record of Environmental 

Consideration (REC), documentation is 

required. 

B. Conducting background 

investigations in connection with a 

management contract or management 

contract amendment. 

Extraordinary Circumstances 

Actions that can normally be 

categorically excluded may not qualify 

for a CATEX because an extraordinary 

circumstance exists (See 40 CFR 

1508.4). If the proposed action has one 

or more of the following conditions, 

extraordinary circumstances exist and 

the action cannot be categorically 

excluded: 

A. The proposed action/project would 

threaten a violation of applicable 

federal, state, local or tribal statutory, 

regulatory, or permit requirements with 

regard to public health and safety. 

B. The proposed action/project has 

effects on the environment that involve 

risks that are highly uncertain, unique, 

or are scientifically controversial. 

C. The proposed action/project 

violates one or more federal, tribal, 

state, or local environmental laws, 

regulations, permit requirements, or 

Executive Order. 

D. The proposed action/project has an 

adverse effect on a property or structure 

eligible for listing or listed on the 

National Register of Historical Places as 

determined by-the Commission, the 

State Historic Preservation Officer, the 

Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, the 

Advisory Council on Historic 

Preservation, or a consulting party 

under 36 CFR 800. Adverse effects 

include the degradation, loss, or 

destruction of (1) scientific, cultural, or 

historical resources protected by the 

National Historic Preservation Act of 

1966, as amended; (2) on World 

Heritage properties; or (3) other 

significant scientific, cultural, or 

historical resources. 

E. The proposed action/project has 

adverse effects on natural, ecological, or 

scenic resources of federal, tribal, state 

and/or local significance. These 

resources include: (1) Resources 

protected by Coastal Zone Management 

Act (CZMA); (2) resources protected by 

the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act; 

(3) prime, unique, tribal, state or locally 

important farmlands; (4) cultural items 

or archaeological resources as defined 

by the Archaeological Resources 

Protection Act and/or Native American 

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act; 

(5) park lands; (6) federal or state listed 

wild or scenic rivers; and/or (7) other 

ecologically critical areas. 

F. The proposed action/project is 

related to other actions that may, when 

considered cumulatively, have 

significant adverse effects. 

G. The proposed action/project may 

adversely affect (1) a federal or state 

listed endangered, threatened, or 

candidate species; or (2) designated or 

proposed critical habitat under the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA). 

H. The proposed action/project has 

effects which will impact floodplains 

and/or wetlands on Federal property. 

I. The proposed action/project has 

effects that will cause a criteria 

pollutant listed under the Clean Air Act 

to exceed the threshold level of one or 

more of the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for the surrounding 

geographical area. 

J. The proposed action/project has 

effects that may cause 

disproportionately high adverse 

environmental or health impacts 

specific to children, minorities, or lowincome populations. 

K. The proposed action/project is 

likely to have adverse effects on 

migratory bird populations. 

L. The proposed action/project has 

the potential to disturb hazardous 

substances, pollutants, contaminants, or 

CERCLA-excluded petroleum and 

natural gas products that preexist in the 

environment such that there would be 

uncontrolled or unpermitted releases. 


sradovich on DSKBCFCHB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 145 / Monday, July 31, 2017 / Notices 35545 

M. The proposed action/project has 

effects that are highly controversial on 

environmental grounds. 

Categorical Exclusion Documentation 

The purpose of categorical exclusions 

is to reduce paperwork and delay. The 

NIGC is not required to repeatedly 

document actions that qualify for a 

categorical exclusion and do not involve 

an extraordinary circumstance (See 40 

CFR 1500.4(p)). The NIGC will 

document its decision to treat a 

particular action as categorically 

excluded from further NEPA review, 

when the CATEX applied specifically 

requires the preparation of a REC. In 

those cases, a REC will include: 

A. A complete description of the 

proposed action/project; 

B. The CATEX relied upon, including 

a brief discussion of why there are no 

extraordinary circumstances; 

C. Supplemental documentation that 

supports the conclusions in the 

narrative. Examples include exhibit(s) 

showing boundaries of historical or 

archeological site(s) previously 

identified near the proposed project, 

documentation from the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service noting that no 

endangered species or habitat is present 

near the proposed project, evidence that 

the proposed project site is located 

outside any non-attainment area(s), etc. 

In some cases, a ‘‘no effect’’ 

determination from the State Historic 

Preservation Office or Tribal Historic 

Preservation Office may be required; 

D. The following statement: I certify 

that, to the best of my knowledge, the 

information provided is the best 

available information and is accurate; 

E. A signature from an environmental 

professional with a signature block that 

includes the professional’s credentials.
