Cassandra Stekly, Department of 

Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship 

and Immigration Services (USCIS), 

Verification Division, 470–490 East

Telephone: (888) 464–4218. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EVerify Program is a free employment 

eligibility confirmation system operated 

jointly by USCIS and the Social Security 

Administration (SSA). It is designed to 

determine the employment eligibility of 

new hires. The E-Verify Program allows 

participating employers to electronically 

confirm the employment eligibility of 

newly hired employees to help maintain 

a stable and legal workforce. 

An E-Verify Designated Agent is a 

liaison between E-Verify and employers 

who choose to outsource submission of 

employment eligibility verification 

queries for newly hired employees. EVerify Designated Agents conduct the 

verification process for other employers 

or clients. An E-Verify Designated Agent 

must register online and sign a 

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 

with SSA and DHS. Once the MOU is 

approved, the E-Verify Designated 

Agent can then begin registering 

employers and clients who have 

designated it to perform their 

verification services. 

The program design for Designated 

Agents has changed very little over the 

past several years. Accordingly, USCIS 

plans to review the Designated Agent 

process to assess how Designated 

Agents provide this service to their 

clients. The purpose of this notice is to 

request that Designated Agents, their 

clients, or others with Designated Agent 

experience provide their comments or 

suggestions for improving the 

Designated Agent process. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The E-Verify Program has been 

approved by the Office of Management 

and Budget under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. The approved OMB 

Control Number is 1615–0092.

Acting Deputy Director, U.S. Citizenship and

NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Approved Class II and III 

Tribal Gaming Ordinances 

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 publication in the 

Federal Register. 

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.
