Summary

The National Indian Gaming Commission is withdrawing a direct final rule concerning facility license notifications. This withdrawal pertains to a rule that was published on September 29, 2025, and was set to become effective on November 24, 2025.

What changed

The National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) has issued a withdrawal notice for a direct final rule concerning facility license notifications. This rule, originally published on September 29, 2025 (90 FR 46470), was intended to modify the notice period for facility license notifications and submissions. The withdrawal means that the provisions of the September 29, 2025 rule will not take effect as planned.

This action effectively reverts the regulatory requirements to their state prior to the September 29, 2025 publication. Tribal nations and gaming facilities that were preparing to comply with the new notice periods should continue to adhere to the existing regulations. No new actions are required from regulated entities as a result of this withdrawal, as it removes a previously announced change.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable

the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for

provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

AGENCY:

ACTION:

Direct final rule; withdrawal.

SUMMARY:

Due to the receipt of adverse comments, the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) is withdrawing the direct final rule “Facility License Notifications,” published September 29, 2025.

DATES:

Effective November 24, 2025, the direct final rule published at 90 FR 46470, September 29, 2025, is withdrawn.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On September 29, 2025, the NIGC published a direct final rule (90 FR 46470). We stated in that direct final rule that if we received adverse comments by October 29, 2025, the direct final rule would not take effect, and we would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. The NIGC subsequently received adverse comments on that direct final rule and is therefore withdrawing this direct final rule. The NIGC may issue a notice of proposed rulemaking in a future edition of the Federal Register to initiate action to repromulgate the rule that is withdrawn today. In any such action, the NIGC would address the adverse comments it received on the direct final rule.

National Indian Gaming Commission.

Sharon M. Avery,

Acting Chairwoman.

Jean Hovland,

Vice Chair.
