Abstract: The NIGC is authorized by the IGRA to issue certificates of self-regulation to tribes for class II gaming operations. This information collection requirement is necessary to determine whether a tribe is self-regulating. In addition, those tribes who have received a certificate of self-regulation are required to submit an annual report to the NIGC to establish that the tribe has continuously met the criteria.
