**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

Under section 11 of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA), Public Law 100-497, 25 U.S.C. 2701 *et seq.,* the Secretary of the Interior shall publish in the *Federal Register* notice of approved Tribal-State compacts for the purpose of engaging in Class III gaming activities on Indian lands. As required by 25 CFR 293.4, all compacts and amendments are subject to review and approval by the Secretary. The Amendment authorizes the Tribe to offer Electronic Table Games at the Tribe's class III gaming facilities, establishes limitations on wagers, credit, gaming stations, and player terminals, and increases contributions to problem gaming resources. Additionally, the Amendment compels the Tribe to establish education and awareness programs for problem gaming and makes minor adjustments to accepted forms of payment, allows the Tribal Court jurisdiction to hear civil disputes arising from the conduct of gaming, and allows the Tribe to increase its maximum wagers and purchase prices  to match an increase in prices in the Washington State Lottery.

Bryan Newland,

Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs.
