SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) established 

the National Indian Gaming Commission which is charged with, among other things, regulating 

gaming on Indian lands. The regulations of the Commission (25 CFR part 514), as amended, 

provide for a system of fee assessment and payment that is self-administered by gaming 

operations. Pursuant to those regulations, the Commission is required to adopt and 

communicate 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 

Commission on a quarterly basis. 

The regulations of the Commission and the final rate being adopted today are effective for 

calendar year 2009. 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, 2009.
