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 any
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)(D). The IGRA also
requires the Secretary to publish a notice in the Federal Register of
the 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 Compacts between the State of
California and the Campo Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the Campo
Indian Reservation, California; the Elem Indian Colony of Pomo Indians
of the Sulphur Bank Rancheria, California, the La Posta Band of
Diegueno Mission Indians of the La Posta Indian Reservation,
California; the Table Mountain Rancheria; the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe;
and the Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule River Reservation,
California, within the 45-day statutory review period. Therefore, the
Compacts are considered to have been approved, but only to the extent
they are consistent with IGRA. See 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(8)(C).

Assistant Secretary--Indian Affairs.
