Short Statement: The number of submission has decreased because most of the systems that qualify for grandfather status have already been submitted and certified as required by Part 547. The NIGC expects a limited number of systmes to be submitted for grandfathering under the new certification time period. Although the number of grandfathered systems submitted for certification is expected to decrease substantially, the NIGC expects that the submission of new systems, as well as modficiations to existing systems, will maintain a brisk pace. Since the 2008 regualtions went into effect, the NIGC has revisited its initial time estimates and calcluations set forth in its previous PRA submission materials and determined that those numbers should be adjusted to more accurately reflect the submission and review process.
