NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING COMMISSION
Notice of Approval of Class III Tribal Gaming Ordinances
AGENCY: National Indian Gaming Commission.
ACTION: Notice of approval of class III gaming ordinances.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of class
III gaming ordinances approved by the Chairman of the National Indian
Gaming Commission.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Susan Carletta at (202) 632-7003 ext. 34, 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., was signed into law on October 17, 1988. The IGRA
established the National Indian Gaming Commission (the Commission).
Section 2710 of the IGRA authorizes 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 (58 FR 5811 (January 22, 1993)),
requires the Commission to publish, in the Federal Register, approved
class III gaming ordinances.
The IGRA requires all tribal gaming ordinances to contain the same
requirements concerning ownership of the gaming activity, use of net
revenues, annual audits, health and safety, background investigations
and licensing of key employees. The Commission, therefore, believes
that publication of each ordinance in the Federal Register would be
redundant and result in an unnecessary cost to the Commission. The
Commission believes that publishing a notice of approval of each class
III gaming ordinance is sufficient to meet the requirements of 25
U.S.C. 2710(d)(2)(B). Also, the Commission will make copies of approved
class III ordinances available to the public upon request. Requests can
be made in writing to: National Indian Gaming Commission, 1850 M St.,
NW., suite 250, Washington, DC 20036.
The Chairman has approved tribal gaming ordinances authorizing
class III gaming for the following Indian tribes:
Big Valley Rancheria of Pomo Indians
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation
Crow Creek Sioux Tribe
Elem Indian Colony
Jicarilla Apache Tribe
Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas
Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians
Moapa Band of Paiutes
Rosebud Sioux Tribe
Temecula Band of Luiseno Mission Indians
Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians
Wisconsin Winnebago Nation
Anthony J. Hope,
Chairman.
