AGENCY: National Indian Gaming Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of class II 
and III gaming ordinances approved by the Chairman of the National 
Indian Gaming Commission.

DATES: Effective Date: This notice is effective upon date of

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Frances Fragua, Office of General 
Counsel at the National Indian Gaming Commission, 202-632-7003, or by 
facsimile at 202-632-7066 (not toll-free numbers).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) 25 
U.S.C. 2701 et seq., established the National Indian Gaming Commission 
(Commission). Section 2710 of the IGRA authorizes the Chairman of the 
Commission to approve class II and class III tribal gaming ordinances. 
Section 2710(d)(2)(B) of the IGRA, as implemented by 25 CFR 522.8, 
requires the Commission to publish, in the Federal Register, approved 
class III gaming ordinances and the approvals thereof.
    The Commission believes that publishing a periodic notice of 
approved class II or III gaming ordinances in the Federal Register, 
along with publishing on the Commission's Web site the full text of 
each ordinance and any approved amendments, is sufficient to meet the 
requirements of 25 U.S.C. Section 2710(d)(2)(B) and provide the public 
with adequate notice of all gaming ordinance approvals. Every approved 
gaming ordinance, every approved ordinance amendment, and the approvals 
thereof, are posted on the Commission's Web site (http://www.nigc.gov) 
under Reading Room, Gaming Ordinances. Also, the Commission will make 
copies of approved ordinances available to the public upon request. 
Requests can be made in writing to the Office of General Counsel, 
National Indian Gaming Commission, Attn: Frances Fragua, 1441 L Street, 
NW., Suite 9100, Washington, DC 20005.
