The Burns Paiute Tribe of Oregon is reviving plans for an off-reservation casino.
The tribe started the land-into-trust process for a casino in Ontario in 2006. But the Bush administration stopped work on the application, saying the tribe failed to submit enough information.
Discussions have resumed in recent months. The deal would apparently involve a land swap that requires an act of Congress, the mayor of Ontario said.
Ontario is near the Idaho border and is about 130 miles from tribal headquarters in Burns.
