This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.
Notice.
This notice publishes the approval of the Amended Gaming Compact between the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation and the State of North Dakota and the Amended Gaming Compact between the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the State of North Dakota (Amendments) governing class III gaming for the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (Tribes) in the State of North Dakota (State).
The Amendments take effect on December 19, 2022.
Ms. Paula L. Hart, Director, Office of Indian Gaming, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary—Policy and Economic Development, Washington, DC 20240, paula.hart@bia.gov, (202) 219-4066.
Under section 11 of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA), Public Law 100-497, 25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., the Secretary of the Interior shall publish in the Federal Register notice of approved Tribal-State compacts for the purpose of engaging in Class III gaming activities on Indian lands. As required by 25 CFR 293.4, all compacts and amendments are subject to review and approval by the Secretary. The Amendments waive the State's Eleventh Amendment immunity if the parties negotiate a successor compact, thereby permitting enforcement of the good faith negotiation provisions in IGRA. If a successor compact is not successfully concluded, the existing compact will remain effective throughout IGRA's remedial process. The Amendments also add electronic poker games, sports book event wagering, any class III gaming authorized by State law, and mobile gaming within tribal lands. The Amendments are approved.
Bryan Newland,
Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs.
