Published 30-Day Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 27, 2024 / Notices
and regulation of class III gaming
activities.

ACTION:

Notice of information collection;
request for comment.

The Amendment takes effect on
August 27, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Paula L. Hart, Director, Office of Indian
Gaming, Office of the Assistant
Secretary—Indian Affairs, Washington,
DC 20240, [email protected]; (202)
219–4066.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988,
25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., (IGRA) provides
the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary)
with 45 days to review and approve or
disapprove the Tribal-State compact
governing the conduct of Class III
gaming activity on the Tribe’s Indian
lands. See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8). If the
Secretary does not approve or
disapprove a Tribal-State compact
within the 45 days, IGRA provides the
Tribal-State compact is considered to
have been approved by the Secretary,
but only to the extent the compact is
consistent with IGRA. See 25 U.S.C.
2710(d)(8)(D). The IGRA also requires
the Secretary to publish in the Federal
Register notice of the approved TribalState compacts for the purpose of
engaging in Class III gaming activities
on Indian lands. See 25 U.S.C.
2710(d)(8)(D). The Department’s
regulations at 25 CFR 293.4 require all
compacts and amendments to be
reviewed and approved by the Secretary
prior to taking effect. The Secretary took
no action on the Fifth Amendment to
the Compact between the Cowlitz
Indian Tribe and the State of
Washington, within the 45-day statutory
review period. Therefore, the Compact
is considered to have been approved,
but only to the extent it is consistent
with IGRA. See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8)(C).
