The National Indian Gaming Commission is taking comments on proposed Freedom of Information Act rule.

The rule will address the NIGC's requirements under the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996. "This amendment addresses FOIA reading rooms and those documents available electronically, agency backlogs of requests, change in fees, and preservation of records among other things," a notice published in the Federal Register states.

Comments on the rule will be accepted until November 17, 2005. They can be sent to the National Indian Gaming Commission, FOIA Officer, 1441 L Street NW, Suite 9100, Washington, DC 20005, delivered to that address between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, or faxed to (202) 632-7066.
