charged with, among other things, regulating gaming on 

Indian lands. 

The regulations of the Comission (25 CPR part 514). as

that is self-administered by gaming operations. Pursuant to 

those regulations, the Commission is required to adopt and 

comnicate assessment rates; the gaming operations are 

required to apply those rates to their revenues, compute the 

fees to be paid, report the revenues, and remit the fees to 

the Comnission on a quarterly basis. 

The regulations of the Commission and the final rate 

being adopted today are effective for calendar year 2005. 

Therefore, all gaming operations within the jurisdiction of 

the Commission are required to self-administer the 

provisions of these regulations and report and pay any fees 

that are due to the Commission by December 31, 2005.
