                Indian Gaming; Approval by Operation of Law of Tribal-State Class
                III Gaming Compact (Rosebud Sioux Tribe and the State of South Dakota)
                AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.
                ACTION: Notice.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: This notice publishes the approval by operation of law of the
                Tribal-State Compact between the Rosebud Sioux Tribe and the State of
                South Dakota.
                DATES: The Amendment takes effect on March 15, 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)(D). The IGRA also
                requires the Secretary to publish in the Federal Register notice 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 Compact between the Rosebud
                Sioux Tribe and the State of South Dakota, within the 45-day statutory
                review period. Therefore, the Compact 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.
