        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of Sole Proprietary Interest</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) is considering a rulemaking to define "sole proprietary interest" as that term is used in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA).  IGRA requires, with one limited exception, Indian tribes to have the sole proprietary interest and responsibility for the conduct of any gaming activity on the tribes Indian lands.  Neither IGRA nor the NIGC's current regulations define "sole proprietary interest."]]></ABSTRACT>
