SUPPLEKENTARY INFORMATION: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act 

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 preliminary 

rate being adopted today are effective for calendar year 

2006. 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 

March 31, 2006.
