The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA or the Act), 25 U.S.C. 2701, et seq., laid out a comprehensive framework for the regulation of gaming on Indian lands. Amongst other actions necessary to carry out the Commission’s statutory duties, the Act directs the Commission to monitor class II gaming conducted on Indian lands on a continuing basis in order to ensure that the Indian tribe is the primary beneficiary of the gaming operation and to protect such gaming as a means of generating tribal revenue, and to assure that gaming is conducted fairly and honestly by both the operator and players. 25 U.S.C. 2702(2), 2706(b)(1). The Act allows Indian tribes to use “electronic, computer, or other technologic aids” to conduct class II gaming activities. 25 U.S.C. 2703(7)(A). The Commission has promulgated part 547 of title 25, Code of Federal Regulations, to aid it in monitoring class II gaming facilities that use electronic, computer, or other technologic aids to conduct class II gaming.

The Commission has made the following adjustments to its estimated burdens: (a) the Commission has increased the number of estimated annual responses from 500 to 685. The primary reason for this increase is due to the fact that in January 2018, the commission completed a modification of three rules associated with this IC. Two Commission rules governing the tribal use of “grandfathered” Class II machines – rules 547.5(b)(2) and 547.5(b)(5) – were consolidated into one, 547.5(a)(2). Also, part of 547.5(c), which governs the tribal use of Class II machines (and not simply “grandfathered” machines), was partly broken off and moved into the now vacant 547.5(b)(2). Therefore, two rules for the (small subset of) grandfathered Class II machines were consolidated into one and one rule for governing all (non-grandfathered) Class II machines was expanded into two. For this reason, the number of estimated respondents increased and the number of responses, concomitantly, increased; and, (b) the Commission has decreased its estimate of burden hours and this is primarily due to the fact that the average hours per response for 547.5(c) decreased from 6 hours to 2 hours. This estimated decrease was based on tribal feedback. Anecdotally, there is evidence that, as tribes move more towards electronic gaming management system for Class II games, record keeping requirements decrease.
