OMB requests that the agency consult with up to nine outside entities once every renewal, even if the collection of information has not changed. 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.

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 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 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 calculate and 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 6 tribal gaming financial directors and/or tribal gaming commissioners and based on this tribal feedback, the Commission made the adjustments to its estimated burdens: It should be noted that the method for calculating the total annual responses for §571.12 was changed. In prior years, the NIGC had determined that the number of total annual responses equaled the total number of Indian gaming operations. Because tribes negotiate contracts for an independent audit on a tribal level (and not at the gaming operational level), the number of total annual responses was now set as equal to the number of gaming tribes (241), and not gaming operations. This decrease in the total annual responses was offset by the slight increase in average annual hours as reported by the consulted tribes so that, in sum, there was no dramatic change in estimated annual hours for this specific requirement from the last renewal cycle. The estimated annual burden hour total has been significantly revised downwards from 406,905 to 127,489. This decrease continues the trend from the last renewal estimate cycle and, as before, is also primarily due to the decrease in the average hours per response for compliance with regulation §571.7. In looking at this trend, it is possible to surmise that, over time, as accounting practices in tribal gaming operations have become more established, tribal financial directors increasingly attribute their operation’s accounting practices less as a response to any one NIGC regulatory requirement and more as simply part of their customary business practices.
