Abstract: Amongst other actions necessary to carry out the National Indian Gaming Commission's (NIGC) statutory duties, the Indian Gaming Regulatory 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. The Commission has established minimum internal control standards to aid it in monitoring class II gaming on a continuing basis.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission has made the following adjustments to its estimated burdens: (a) The Commission has decreased the estimated number of total annual responses from 834 to 798. Record keeping and auditing requirements under regulations 543.5 and 543.23(d) are only applicable to facilities that conduct Class II gaming. Based on the numbers tracked by the Commission, it appears that the number of tribes engaging in Class II gaming has decreased and, therefore, this estimated number has followed suit; (b) the Commission has decreased the number of the estimated burden hours from 11,241 to 8,467 and this is also due to the reduction of tribes engaging in Class II gaming as well as tribal feedback of lower average hours per response; and, (c) the Commission has decreased the estimated annual cost burden from $8,736,040 to $8,359,234 and this is also directly attributable to the factors noted above.
