I. Abstract
The gathering of this information is in
keeping with the purposes of the Indian
Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 (IGRA or
the Act), Public Law 100–497, 25 U.S.C.
2701, et seq., which include: Providing
a statutory basis for the operation of
gaming by Indian tribes as a means of
promoting tribal economic
development, self-sufficiency, and
strong tribal governments; ensuring that
the Indian tribe is the primary
beneficiary of the gaming operation; and
declaring that the establishment of
independent federal regulatory
authority for gaming on Indian lands,
the establishment of federal standards
for gaming on Indian lands, and the
establishment of the Commission, are
necessary to meet congressional
concerns regarding gaming and to
protect such gaming as a means of
generating tribal revenue. 25 U.S.C.
2702. The Act established the
Commission and laid out a
comprehensive framework for the
regulation of gaming on Indian lands.
II. Data
Title: Indian Gaming Compliance and
Enforcement.
OMB Control Number: 3141–0001.
Brief Description of Collection:
Although IGRA places primary
responsibility with the tribes for
regulating their gaming activities, 25
U.S.C. 2706(b) directs the Commission
to monitor gaming conducted on Indian
lands on a continuing basis. Amongst
other actions necessary to carry out the
Commission’s statutory duties, the Act
authorizes the Commission to access
and inspect all papers, books, and
records relating to gross revenues of a
gaming operation. The Act also requires

tribes to provide the Commission with
annual independent audits of their
gaming operations, including audits of
all contracts in excess of $25,000. 25
U.S.C. 2710(b)(2)(C), (D);
2710(d)(1)(A)(ii). The Act also
authorizes the Commission to
‘‘promulgate such regulations and
guidelines as it deems appropriate to
implement’’ IGRA. 25 U.S.C.
2706(b)(10). Part 571 of title 25, Code of
Federal Regulations, implements these
statutory requirements.
Section 571.7(a) requires Indian
gaming operations to keep/maintain
permanent books of account and records
sufficient to establish the amount of
gross and net income, deductions and
expenses, receipts and disbursements,
and other relevant financial
information. Section 571.7(c) requires
that these records be kept for at least
five years. Under § 571.7(b), the
Commission may require a gaming
operation to submit statements, reports,
accountings, and specific records that
will enable the NIGC to determine
whether or not such operation is liable
for fees payable to the Commission (and
in what amount). Section 571.7(d)
requires a gaming operation to keep
copies of all enforcement actions that a
tribe or a state has taken against the
operation.
Section 571.12 requires tribes to
prepare comparative financial
statements covering all financial
activities of each class II and class III
gaming operation on the tribe’s Indian
lands, and to engage an independent
certified public accountant to provide
an annual audit of the financial
statements of each gaming operation.
Section 571.13 requires tribes to prepare
and submit to the Commission two
paper copies or one electronic copy of
the financial statements and audits,
together with management letter(s) and
other documented auditor
communications and/or reports as a
result of the audit, setting forth the
results of each fiscal year. The
submission must be sent to the
Commission within 120 days after the
end of the fiscal year of each gaming
operation, including when a gaming
operation changes its fiscal year or
when gaming ceases to operate. Section
571.14 requires tribes to reconcile
quarterly fee reports with audited
financial statements and to keep/
maintain this information to be
available to the NIGC upon request in
order to facilitate the performance of
compliance audits.
This information collection is
mandatory and allows the Commission
to fulfill its statutory responsibilities

OMB Control Number: 3141–0003.
Brief Description of Collection: The
Act sets standards for the regulation of
gaming on Indian lands, including

Specifically, § 2705(a)(3) requires the
NIGC Chair to review all class II and
class III tribal gaming ordinances.
Section 2710 sets forth the specific

including one containing the results of
the background investigations before the
issuance of any gaming licenses, and the
other one of the issuance of such gaming
licenses to key employees and PMOs
(§ 2710(b)(2)(F)(ii)). In addition,
§ 2710(d)(2)(D)(ii) requires tribes who
have, in their sole discretion, revoked
any prior class III ordinance or
resolution to submit a notice of such
revocation to the NIGC Chair. The Act
also authorizes the Commission to
‘‘promulgate such regulations and
guidelines as it deems appropriate to
implement’’ IGRA. 25 U.S.C.
2706(b)(10). Parts 519, 522, 556, and 558
of title 25, Code of Federal Regulations,
implement these statutory requirements.
Sections 519.1 and 519.2 require a
tribe, management contractor, and a
tribal operator to designate an agent for
service of process, and § 522.2(g)
requires it to be submitted by written
notification to the Commission. Section
522.2(a) requires a tribe to submit a
copy of an ordinance or resolution
certified as authentic, and that meets the
approval requirements in 25 CFR

Title: NEPA Compliance.
OMB Control Number: 3141–0006.
Brief Description of Collection: The
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq., and the
Council on Environmental Quality’s
(CEQ) implementing regulations, require
federal agencies to prepare (or cause to
be prepared) environmental documents
for agency actions that may have a
significant impact on the environment.
Under NEPA, an Environmental
Assessment (EA) must be prepared
when the agency action cannot be
categorically excluded, or the
environmental consequences of the
agency action will not result in a
significant impact or the environmental
impacts are unclear and need to be
further defined. An Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) must be
prepared when the agency action will
likely result in significant impacts to the
environment.
Amongst other actions necessary to
carry out the Commission’s statutory
duties, the Act requires the NIGC Chair
to review and approve third-party
management contracts that involve the
operation of tribal gaming facilities. 25
U.S.C. 2711. The Commission has taken
the position that the NEPA process is
triggered when a tribe and a potential
contractor seek approval of a
management contract. Normally, an EA
or EIS and its supporting documents are
prepared by an environmental
consulting firm and submitted to the
Commission by the tribe. In the case of
an EA, the Commission independently
evaluates the NEPA document, verifies
its content, and assumes responsibility
for the accuracy of the information
contained therein. In the case of an EIS,
the Commission directs and is
responsible for the preparation of the
NEPA document, but the tribe or
potential contractor is responsible for
paying for the preparation of the
document. The information collected

includes, but is not limited to, maps,

information collections are mandatory
and allow the Commission to carry out
its statutory duties.
Respondents: Tribal governing bodies,
management contractors.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 3.
Estimated Annual Responses: 3.
Estimated Time per Response:
Depending on whether the response is
an EA or an EIS, the range of time can
vary from 2.5 burden hours to 12.0
burden hours for one item.
Frequency of Response: Varies.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours on Respondents: 26.5.
Estimated Total Non-hour Cost
Burden: $14,846,686.
Title: Issuance of Certificates of SelfRegulation to Tribes for Class II Gaming.
OMB Control Number: 3141–0008.
Brief Description of Collection: The
Act sets the standards for the regulation
of Indian gaming, including a
framework for the issuance of
certificates of self-regulation for class II
gaming operations to tribes that meet
certain qualifications. Specifically, 25
U.S.C. 2710(c) authorizes the
Commission to issue a certificate of selfregulation if it determines that a tribe
has: (i) Conducted its gaming activity in
a manner that has resulted in an
effective and honest accounting of all
revenues, in a reputation for safe, fair,
and honest operation of the activity, and
has been generally free of evidence of
criminal or dishonest activity; (ii)
adopted and is implementing adequate
systems for the accounting of all
revenues from the activity, for the
investigation, licensing, and monitoring
of all employees of the gaming activity,
and for the investigation, enforcement,
and prosecution of violations of its
gaming ordinance and regulations; and
(iii) conducted the operation on a
fiscally and economically sound basis.
The Act also authorizes the Commission
to ‘‘promulgate such regulations and
guidelines as it deems appropriate to
implement’’ IGRA. 25 U.S.C.
2706(b)(10). Part 518 of title 25, Code of
Federal Regulations, implements these
statutory requirements.
Section 518.3(e) requires a tribe’s
gaming operation(s) and the tribal
regulatory body (TRB) to have kept all
records needed to support the petition
for self-regulation for the three years
immediately preceding the date of the
petition submission. Section 518.4
requires a tribe petitioning for a
certificate of self-regulation to submit
the following to the Commission,

process by which the TRB is funded,
and the funding level for the three years
immediately preceding the date of the
petition; (vii) a list of the current
regulators and TRB employees, their
complete resumes, their titles, the dates
that they began employment, and if
serving limited terms, the expiration
date of such terms; (viii) a brief
description of the accounting system(s)
at the gaming operation that tracks the
flow of the gaming revenues; (ix) a list
of the gaming activity internal controls
at the gaming operation(s); (x) a
description of the recordkeeping
system(s) for all investigations,
enforcement actions, and prosecutions
of violations of the tribal gaming
ordinance or regulations, for the threeyear period immediately preceding the
date of the petition; and (xi) the tribe’s
current set of gaming regulations, if not
included in the approved tribal gaming
ordinance. Section 518.10 requires each
Indian gaming tribe that has been issued
a certificate of self-regulation to submit
to the Commission the following
information by April 15th of each year
following the first year of selfregulation, or within 120 days after the
end of each gaming operation’s fiscal
year: (i) An annual independent audit;
and (ii) a complete resume for all TRB
employees hired and licensed by the
tribe subsequent to its receipt of a
certificate of self-regulation.
Submission of the petition and
supporting documentation is voluntary.
Once a certificate of self-regulation has
been issued, the submission of certain
other information is mandatory.

III. Request for Comments
Regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which
implement provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, require that interested
members of the public have an
opportunity to comment on an agency’s
information collection and
recordkeeping activities. See 5 CFR
1320.8(d). To comply with the public
consultation process, the Commission
previously published its 60-day notice
of its intent to submit the abovementioned information collection
requests to OMB for approval. See 81 FR
36322 (June 6, 2016). The Commission
did not receive any comments in
response to that notice and request for
comments.
The Commission will submit the
preceding requests to OMB to renew its
approval of the information collections.
The Commission is requesting a threeyear term of approval for each of these
information collection and
recordkeeping activities.
You are again invited to comment on
these collections concerning: (i)
Whether the collections of information
are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(ii) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimates of the burdens (including the
hours and cost) of the proposed
collections of information, including the
validity of the methodologies and
assumptions used; (iii) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; (iv) ways to
minimize the burdens of the
information collections on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
collection techniques or forms of
information technology. It should be
noted that as a result of the Commission
reviewing its own records that track the
number of tribal and/or management
contractor submissions and after
surveying tribal gaming operators, tribal
gaming regulatory authorities, and/or
management contractors regarding the
Commission’s submission and
recordkeeping requirements, many of
the previously published burden
estimates have changed since the
publication of the Commission’s 60-day
notice on June 6, 2016. If you wish to
comment in response to this notice, you
may send your comments to the office
listed under the ADDRESSES section of
this notice by October 27, 2016.
