Dear Chairman Lasley:

This letter responds to your request to review and approve
the amendments to the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska's tribal gaming
ordinance submitted on February 24, 1997. The amendments were
adopted by Resolution Nos. 96-117 and 96-118 on June 13, 1996.
The ordinance was approved by the Chairman of the National Indian
Gaming Commission (NIGC) on August 25, 1995. The amendment does
not require approval by the NIGC because the amendment addresses
issues not raised in the IGRA or the NIGC's regulations.

Under the IGRA and the regulations of the NIGC, the Chairman
is directed to review ordinances and amendments with respect to
the requirements of the IGRA and the implementing regulations.
Thus, the scope of the Chairman's review and approval is limited
to the requirements of the IGRA and the NIGC regulations.
Provisions other than those required under the IGRA or the NIGC
regulations that may be included in a tribal ordinance are not
subject to review and approval.

Thank you for submitting the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska's
amendments for review. If you have questions or require further
assistance, please contact Jessica Roff at (202) 632-7003.

Sincerely yours,
ae oe
