The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act
requires the approval of gaming management contracts by the NIGC
Chair. The regulations provide submission and content requirements
for management contracts. The NIGC needs this information when
approving or disapproving the contracts or modifications to the
contracts. Respondents include gaming tribes and management
companies.

The current OMB inventory
includes burden hours projected by the NIGC before it became
operational. The NIGC now has 14+ years experience collecting the
information and as in a much better position to project the burden
hours required. In preparing the document, the NIGC reviewed the
original projections and the information received. Adjustments have
been made to better reflect the reporting burden. 25 C.F.R. 533.3
The burden hours have been reduced from 1,050, and the cost has
been decreased to $90,000. These are the result of fewer management
contracts for new gaming operations and more management contract
submissions for existing gaming operations. This resulted in a
reduction of the number of hours, and increasing the cost per hour
from $125 to $150. 25 C.F.R. § 533.5 Due to the deletion of this
subsection, information collection is not applicable 25 C.F.R. §
535.1 The burden hours have been reduced from 200, and the cost has
remained the same. This is the result of increasing the submissions
from 10 to 20 due to additional modifications asa result of changes
to the list of persons and entities with a financial interest in,
or management responsibility for, management contracts. The changes
in persons and entities also resulted in reducing the hours for the
respondents from 20 to 10. The cost per hour increased from $125 to
$150. 25 C.F.R. § 537 The burden hours have been reduced from 5,250
and the cost has been decreasing from $393,750 to $2405,00. These
are the result of reducing the number of respondents from 200. 25
C.F.R. § 539 The burden hours have been reduced from 80, and the
cost has been increasing from $12,000 to $6,000. These are the
result of reducing the number of respondents from 2 to 1.
