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, 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 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 has limited value and it would be improper to claim to be able to extrapolate from this feedback any definitive trends It should also be noted that, in previous years, the NIGC did not include wage costs in its data but it does so now and will continue doing this in all future renewals . As mentioned in item number 8 of the Supplementary Statement, the Commission consulted with 2 Tribal gaming operations that are currently self-regulating and 2 Tribal gaming operations that have recently undergone the approval process. Based on this tribal feedback, the Commission has made adjustments to its estimated burdens. Estimates of the total number of annual respondents for § 518.10(a) and § 518.10(b) have both been changed to 5 (reflecting the fact that there are currently 5 self-regulated tribes). The estimated annual burden hour total has been significantly revised downwards from 2,092 to 257. This decrease continues the trend from the last renewal estimate of this collection and, as before, is also primarily due to the decrease, based on tribal consultation, in the average hours per response for compliance with regulations § 518.3(e) / § 514.4.
