Short Statement:
The Commission surveyed 16 tribes and/or tribal regulatory authorities and, based on this tribal feedback, the Commission made the following adjustments to its estimated burdens: • the current estimate of the total number of annual respondents has been slightly increased from 1580 to 1597. This is based on the average number of annual submission to the Commission for the past three years. This increase is due, primarily, to the increase - from 76 to 92 - of tribal reporting of license revocation notifications per § 558.4(e). It was also caused by, secondarily, the fact that there has been a slight increase in the overall number of gaming tribes. • the estimated number of annual responses has also been slightly increased and this was due to the higher number of applications that were processed under § 556.6(b)(1), 556.6(b)(2), and 556.6(b),(d). • the estimated annual burden hour total has been slightly adjusted downward from 1,392,450 to 1,121,340. There are two main factors that account for this decrease. First, the average number of applications that were processed for background checks under § 556.4 decreased from 89,864 to 72,387. This resulted in a cumulative reduction of approximately 29,965 hours. Second, and more significantly, the average number of hours that tribes reportedly spent creating and maintaining investigative application reports per § 556.6(b)(1) decreased from 15 to 5.3. This decrease, multiplied over the 40,055 applications that were processed on average per year, resulted in a reduction 283,504 hours (from 511,695 to 228,191). • the estimated annual cost total was decreased from $3,334,176 to $3,070,189. This decrease was mainly attributable to a $636 decrease in the average costs of § 556.6(a) / 558.3(e) and a $727 decrease in the average cost of § 556.6(b)(1).
