Lael Echo-Hawk, Counselor to the Chair
National Indian Gaming Association
1441 L Street, NW, Suite 9100
Washington, D.C. 20005

RE: Comments on Possible Revisions to NIGC Regulations
Dear Ms. Echo-Hawk:

On behalf of the Pueblo of Taos Gaming Commission, I wish to thank the National Indian
Gaming Commission (NIGC) for its efforts for meaningful tribal consultation and to improve the
government-to-government relationship with Indian Pueblos, tribes and nations. It is a welcome
and much-needed change, particularly coming from a Federal agency that has such influence
upon a critical area of tribal economic development and self-sufficiency.

Pursuant to the November 18, 2010 Federal Register Notice of Inquiry and Request for
Information, the Taos Pueblo Gaming Commission submits its comments on the proposed
regulation revision and the process to be used for conducting such revision.

Please contact Ms. Yvonne C. Trujillo, Executive Director, at (575) 737-9520 should you have
any questions. Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on these important regulation

changes.
