Dear Clement J. Frost:

This letter responds to the request by the Southern Ute Indian Tribe (“Tribe”) to review and
approve the amendment to the Tribe's gaming code, Resolution No. 98-28 submitted on March 9,
1998. The amendment does not require approval by the NIGC because the document addresses
issues not raised in the IGRA or the NIGC's regulations.

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 Southern Ute Tribe’s amendment for review. If you have
questions or require further assistance, please contact the NIGC at (202) 632-7003.
