Terms of Clearance: In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved for three years. For the next renewal, OMB requests that the agency describe the input provided from their outside consultations for the ICR. Additionally, to estimate the burden hours in future renewals, NIGC should consider providing ranges in the collection’s annual burden, historic data from stakeholders to support changes in collection burden, and/or proxies from other federal agencies with similar collections or respondents in the renewal. OMB notes that this ICR was erroneously submitted as a revision but did not contain any changes from the previously approved collection; thus, OMB approves this information collection as an extension without change only.

Short Statement: It should be noted at the outset that tribal gaming operations and their business practices are unique to each gaming Tribe and influenced by many local, state, cultural, and regional factors. Tribal gaming facilities vary in size and complexity and range from small truck stops to world-class casino resorts. The amount of time and resources that gaming tribes expend fulfilling regulatory requirements can vary dramatically and is further complicated by their varying levels of investment in, and adoption of, new technologies and technical expertise. For these reasons, estimates provided by a statistically insignificant group of rotating tribal contacts will necessarily have limited value and it would be improper to claim to be able to extrapolate from this feedback any definitive trends. Nevertheless, the Commission notes that some changes in burden numbers can be attributed to specific factors. The increase in the annual number of responses is due to the fact that, for one information collection, Tribes now submit quarterly reports instead of annual reports. The decrease in annual time burdens may be attributable to the fact that Tribes are increasingly contracting with financial experts to prepare financial reports and conduct audits, and this would also be the reason for the increase in the annual cost burden.
