We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the USGS; (2)
will this information be processed and
used in a timely manner; (3) is the
estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the USGS enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (5) how might the
USGS minimize the burden of this
collection on the respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request

Abstract: Synoptic water level
measurements are a type of
measurement where data is collected
from many wells over a short period of
time. As part of the effort to collect
synoptic measurements of the
Michindoh Aquifer, the USGS is relying
on the participation of property owners
from across the region. Those identified
as having a selected water well located
on their property will be contacted via
a postcard. They will then be asked to
sign a permission form allowing the
USGS to complete groundwater level
measurement in their well during Fall
2021 and Spring 2022. This will involve
USGS scientists accessing the well and
lowering a sanitized electric or steel
tape into the well to determine the
current water depth below land surface.
The measurement that is collected will
also be provided to the property owner
at the time of collection.
The USGS will attempt to measure
approximately 150 to 200 wells within
eleven counties in the tri-state region.
This large number of measurements
over a short period of time will provide
the USGS with a snapshot-like
understanding of regional water levels.
This information will be critical for
comprehending the behavior of the
entire aquifer system and will be used
to model regional groundwater depth.
Title of Collection: Michindoh Glacial
Aquifer Groundwater Study.
OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW.
Form Number: U.S. Geological Survey

NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING
COMMISION
Notice of Approved Class III Tribal
Gaming Ordinances
AGENCY
: National Indian Gaming
Commission.
ACTION
: Notice.
SUMMARY
: The purpose of this notice is
to inform the public of Class III tribal
gaming ordinances approved by the
Chairman of the National Indian
Gaming Commission.
DATES
: This notice is applicable May 24,
2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
:
Tearanie McCain, Office of General
Counsel at the National Indian Gaming
Commission, 202–632–7003, or by
facsimile at 202–632–7066 (not toll-free
numbers).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: The
Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA)
25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq., established the
National Indian Gaming Commission
(Commission). Section 2710 of IGRA
authorizes the Chairman of the
Commission to approve Class II and
Class III tribal gaming ordinances.
Section 2710(d)(2)(B) of IGRA, as
implemented by NIGC regulations, 25
CFR 522.8, requires the Chairman to
publish, in the Federal Register,
approved Class III tribal gaming
ordinances and the approvals thereof.
IGRA requires all tribal gaming
ordinances to contain the same
requirements concerning tribes’ sole
proprietary interest and responsibility
for the gaming activity, use of net
revenues, annual audits, health and
safety, background investigations and
licensing of key employees and primary
management officials. The Commission,
therefore, believes that publication of
each ordinance in the Federal Register
would be redundant and result in
unnecessary cost to the Commission.
Thus, the Commission believes that
publishing a notice of approved Class III
tribal gaming ordinances in the Federal
Register is sufficient to meet the
requirements of 25 U.S.C. 2710(d)(2)(B).
Beginning September 30, 2021, the
NIGC will publish the notice of
approved gaming ordinances quarterly,
by March 31, June 30, September 30,
and December 31 of each year.
Every approved tribal gaming
ordinance, every approved ordinance
amendment, and the approval thereof,
will be posted on the Commission’s
website (www.nigc.gov) under General
Counsel, Gaming Ordinances within
five (5) business days of approval. Also,
the Commission will make copies of
approved Class III ordinances available
to the public upon request. Requests can
be made in writing to the Office of
General Counsel, National Indian
Gaming Commission, Attn: Tearanie
McCain, C/O Department of the Interior,
1849 C Street NW, MS #1621,
Washington, DC 20240.
