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., 
N.W., suite 250, Washington, D.C. 20036.
    The Chairman has approved tribal gaming ordinances authorizing 
class III gaming for the following Indian tribes:

Campo Band of Mission Indians
Colusa Band of Wintun Indians
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians
Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa/Chippewa Indians
Kootenai Tribe of Idaho
Pueblo of Pojoaque
Santa Rosa Band of Tachi Indians
Squaxin Island Tribe
Tyme Maidu Tribe of the Berry Creek Rancheria
Wyandotte Tribe of Oklahoma
Anthony J. Hope,
Chairman.
