Abstract
The Department is issuing regulations prescribing procedures to permit Class III gaming when a State interposes its immunity from suit by an Indian tribe in which the tribe accuses the state of failing to negotiate in good faith. The rule announces the Department's determination that the Secretary may promulgate Class III gaming procedures under certain specified circumstances. It also sets forth the process and standards pursuant to which any procedures would be adopted.
