The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act
governs the regulation of gaming on Indian lands. IGRA created the
National Indian Gaming Commission to carry out the Act's goals.
This collection allows NIGC to perform its statutory
duties.

USC 2701 Name of Law: Indian Gaming Regulatory Act
The Commission did not
previously include the burden estimates for certain recordkeeping
functions, as it previously considered them customary and usual
business practices. However, the Commission has now decided to
include these recordkeeping and administrative functions because
while most gaming operations would probably maintain certain of
these records, it is possible that not every operation would do so
according to the standards set forth in the NIGC regulations. In
addition, since 2008 when these burden estimates were first
formulated, the gross Indian gaming revenues in the U.S. have
increased by approximately $1.2 billion. This growth in the Indian
gaming industry could also account for the dramatic increase in the
burden hour and cost estimates
