NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING COMMISSION
Fee Rate
AGENCY: National Indian Gaming Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 25 CFR 514.1(a)(3), that
the National Indian Gaming Commission has adopted preliminary annual
fee rates of 0.00% for tier 1 and 0.059% (.00059) for tier 2 for
calendar year 2007. These rates shall apply to all assessable gross
revenues from each gaming operation under the jurisdiction of the
Commission. If a tribe has a certificate of self-regulation under 25
CFR part 518, the preliminary fee rate on class II revenues for
calendar year 2007 shall be one-half of the annual fee rate, which is
0.0295% (.000295).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kwame Mainoo, National Indian Gaming
Commission, 1441 L Street, NW., Suite 9100, Washington, DC 20005;
telephone (202) 632-7003; fax (202) 632-7066 (these are not toll-free
numbers).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA)
established the National Indian Gaming Commission which is charged
with, among other things, regulating gaming on Indian lands.
The regulations of the Commission (25 CFR part 514), as amended,
provide for a system of fee assessment and payment that is self-
administered by gaming operations. Pursuant to those regulations, the
Commission is required to adopt and communicate assessment rates; the
gaming operations are required to apply those rates to their revenues,
compute the fees to be paid, report the revenues, and remit the fees to
the Commission on a quarterly basis.
The regulations of the Commission and the preliminary rate being
adopted today are effective for calendar year 2007. Therefore, all
gaming operations within the jurisdiction of the Commission are
required to self administer the provisions of these regulations, and
report and pay any fees that are due to the Commission by March 31,
2007.
Dated: February 22, 2007.
Philip N. Hogen,
Chairman, National Indian Gaming Commission.
