The Commission is authorized by IGRA to issue certificates of self-regulation to tribes for Class II gaming operations. This information collection requirement is necessary to determine whether a tribe meets the requirements for self-regulation. In addition, those tribes who have received a certificate of self-regulation are required to submit certain information to the NIGC to establish that the tribe continuous to meet the criteria to self-regulate.

Short Statement:
The Commission surveyed tribal regulatory authorities from the 3 tribes that are currently self-regulating and, based on this feedback, has made the following adjustments to its estimated burdens: • the estimate of the total number of annual respondents for § 518.3(e) / § 514.4 has been reduced from 2 to 1. Estimates of the total number of annual respondents for § 518.10(a) and § 518.10(b) have both been changed to 3 (reflecting the fact that there are currently only 3 self-regulated tribes). The end result is that the estimated number of annual respondents has been lowered from 8 to 7. • the estimated annual burden hour total has been significantly revised downwards from 4,088 to 2,092. This decrease is consistent with the the fact that, as noted above, the number of respondents for § 518.3(e) / § 514.4 decreased by 50%. • Conversely, the estimated annual cost total significantly increased from $172,450 to $821,545. This increase is due to the fact that in 2014, a tribe with multiple, large gaming operations was approved for self-regulation and its costs to contract an independent auditor (under regulation § 518.10) adds significantly to the total.
