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. 

 Commission regulations (25 CFR part 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. As noted above, 

if a tribe has a certificate of self-regulation under 25 CFR part 518 

the 2014 preliminary fee rate on Class II revenues shall be one-half of 

the annual fee rate, which is 0.036% (.00036). 

 Pursuant to 25 CFR part 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 2014 fingerprint processing fee at $22 per card. 

 Dated: February 24, 2014. 

Jonodev O. Chaudhuri, 

Acting Chairman. 

 Dated: February 24, 2014. 

Daniel J. Little, 

Associate Commissioner.
