AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice publishes the approval by operation of law of the
8th Amendment to the Tribal-State Compact for Class III Gaming between
the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community and the State of Washington.
DATES: The Amendment takes effect on August 22, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Paula L. Hart, Director, Office of
Indian Gaming, Office of the Assistant Secretary--Indian Affairs,
Washington, DC 20240, (202) 219-4066.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, 25
U.S.C. 2701 et seq., (IGRA) provides the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) with 45 days to review and approve or disapprove the
Tribal-State compact governing the conduct of Class III gaming activity
on the Tribe's Indian lands. See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8). If the Secretary
does not approve or disapprove a Tribal-State compact within the 45
days, IGRA provides the Tribal-State compact is considered to have been
approved by the Secretary, but only to the extent the compact is
consistent with IGRA. See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8)(C). The IGRA also
requires the Secretary to publish in the Federal Register a notice of
any approved Tribal-State compacts for the purpose of engaging in Class
III gaming activities on Indian lands. See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8)(D).
The Department's regulations at 25 CFR 293.4 require all compacts
and amendments to be reviewed and approved by the Secretary prior to
taking effect.
The Secretary took no action on the Amendment to the compact
between the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community and the State of
Washington within the 45-day statutory review period. Therefore, the
Amendment is considered to have been approved, but only to the extent
it is consistent with IGRA. See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8)(C).
Bryan Newland,
Assistant Secretary--Indian Affairs.
