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.
US Code:
25 USC 2701
Name of Law: Indian Gaming Regulatory Act
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.
