SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act established the National Indian Gaming Commission which is charged with, among other things, regulating class II gaming on Indian lands. The regulations of the Commission (25 CFR part 500) provide for a system of fee assessment and payment that is self-administered by the class II gaming operations. Pursuant to those regulations, the Commission is required to adopt and communicate assessment rates; the gaming operations are required to apply those rates to their revenues, compute the fees to be paid, report the revenues, and remit the fees to the Commission on a quarterly basis. [[Page 11065]] The regulations of the Commission and the rate being adopted today are effective for calendar year 1996. Therefore, all Class II gaming operations within the jurisdiction of the Commission are required to self-administer the provisions of these regulations and report and pay any fees that are due to the Commission before the end of calendar year 1996 (December 31). Harold A. Monteau, Chairman, National Indian Gaming Commission. [FR Doc. 96-6360 Filed 3-15-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7565-01-M
