Taking Effect in the State of New Mexico

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Pueblo of San Felipe and State of New Mexico entered into 
a Tribal-State compact governing Class III gaming; this notice 
announces that the compact is taking effect.

DATES: Effective April 4, 2016.

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: Section 11 of the Indian Gaming Regulatory 
Act (IGRA) requires the Secretary of the Interior to publish in the 
Federal Register notice of approved Tribal-State compacts that are for 
the purpose of engaging in Class III gaming activities on Indian lands. 
See Public Law 100-497, 25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq. All Tribal-State Class 
III compacts are subject to review and approval by the Secretary under 
25 CFR 293.4. The Secretary took no action on the Pueblo of San Felipe-
State of New Mexico compact within 45 days of its submission. 
Therefore, the compact is considered to have been approved, but only to 
the extent the compact is consistent with IGRA. See 25 U.S.C. 
2710(d)(8)(C).

    Dated: March 17, 2016.
Lawrence S. Roberts,
Acting Assistant Secretary--Indian Affairs.
