NIGC Announces Tribal Regulatory Review Consultations for January 2012
NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING COMMISSION (NIGC) - JANUARY 3, 2012
The National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC/Commission) announced today that it will hold two consultations in January 2012 as part of its continued Regulatory Review process.
In April 2011, the Commission embarked on a regulatory review process that included tribal consultations throughout Indian country. As a result, NIGC has published several proposed rules in the Federal Register including, most recently, 25CFR Part 537, 25 CFR Parts 556 & 558, 25 CFR Part 502 and 25 CFR Part 573, which were informed by deliberative conversations with Tribes
and comments received by the public. The upcoming consultation sessions are
a further opportunity for Tribes to provide the Commission with substantive input
during the next phases of the regulatory review process.
