Short Statement:
It should be cautioned 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 different Tribal governance practices and 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 consultants has limited value and it would be improper to extrapolate from these burden estimates any definitive trends. It should also be noted that, in previous years, the Commission did not break out wage costs in its data. This deficiency was identified in a previous review process and has now been rectified, however, because these costs were previously lumped together, it is not possible to make direct caparisons between costs this review cycle. Overall, this past cycle saw a decrease in burden hours. This would be due to the fact that the gaming industry was substantially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the temporary closures of gaming operations for a period of time during the pandemic. The estimated financial cost for information collected under Section 533.3 of title 25 saw a particularly marked drop this cycle. This is due to a change in how the Commission assesses this activity for purposes of the PRA. Previously, the cost of providing the information to the Commission was equated to the cost of performing the related background investigations. It is now understood that providing the information is only a first step in the investigative process and for this cycle, and going forward, the burden is assessed for the production of the information and exclude any subsequent background investigative activities.
