BIA extends comment period on compact regulation


The Bureau of Indian Affairs has extended the comment period on a proposed regulation to address review and approval of tribal-state gaming compacts.

Comments are being accepted until September 22, according to a notice published in today's issue of the Federal Register.

The rule was proposed on July 2 without much prior tribal consultation. It closely tracks the provisions of Indian Gaming Regulatory Act that address review and approval of Class III gaming compacts.
