SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) 

established the National Indian Gaming Commission, which is charged 

with regulating gaming on Indian lands. 

 Commission regulations (25 CFR 514) 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 and 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. 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. 

 Pursuant to 25 CFR 514, the Commission must also review annually 

the costs involved in processing fingerprint cards and set a fee based 

on fees charged by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and costs 

incurred by the Commission. Commission costs include Commission 
personnel, supplies, equipment costs, and postage to submit the results 

to the requesting tribe. Based on that review, the Commission hereby 

sets the 2015 fingerprint processing fee at $21 per card effective 

March 1, 2015. 

 Dated: February 25, 2015.

Acting Chairman.
