GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-2254 RIN DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, National Indian Gaming Commission Final rule. Effective Date: October 1, 2012.

Based upon comments received, the Commission believes that all gaming ordinances enacted prior to January 22, 1993, have been submitted to the Chair for review. Therefore, this regulation is no longer necessary, and the Commission removes it in its entirety.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-1767 RIN 3141-AA47 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, National Indian Gaming Commission Proposed rule. The agency must receive comments on or before April 2, 2012. 25 CFR Parts 524, 539, 577, 580, 581, 582, 583, 584, and 585 The National Indian Gaming Commission proposes to add a new subchapter to its regulations to create a clear process for appeal proceedings before the Commission. It would, among other things, define certain terms, set forth the burden of proof and standard of review, explain what information a Commission decision will contain, and what happens if the Commission does not issue a majority decision, and provide that an appeal of the Chair's decision does not stay the effect of that decision. The proposed regulations set forth rules for motion practice in appeals before the Commission, addresses how an entity other than a tribe would request to participate on a limited basis in ordinance appeals, how parties file motions to intervene, to supplement the record, and for reconsideration, and how to file motions before the presiding official. Additionally, the proposed regulation sets forth more specific rules for different types of appeals. Rules for appeals of ordinance disapprovals, management contract approvals and disapprovals, appeals before a presiding official, and appeals before the Commission on written submission only each receive somewhat different treatment.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-1915 RIN 3141-AA48 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, National Indian Gaming Commission Notice of proposed rulemaking. The agency must receive comments on or before April 2, 2012. 25 CFR Part 559 The National Indian Gaming Commission is proposing revisions to its regulations that would provide for an expedited review of a tribe's facility license information and streamline the submittal of information relating to a proposed facility license. The proposed rule also provides for tribes to submit a certification attesting that the gaming operation is being conducted in a manner that adequately protects the environment and the public health and safety. Further, the proposed rule requires a facility license to be submitted before the opening of any new place, facility, or location on Indian lands where class II or III gaming will occur. Likewise, a tribe must notify the Chair if a facility license is terminated, expires, or if a gaming place, facility, or location closes or reopens, unless the closure is seasonal or temporary.
