meaningful concessions on the part of a start warrant approval of the compact provisions at issues. However, we recommend that, in addition to the test, the Department consider adding in examples, using “included but not limited to” language, of what might and might not constitute “meaningful concessions” that provide “substantial economic benefits to the” tribal government.” Moreover, we recommend that the Department clarify the result of “bad faith” as addressed in § 293.24 (c), which presumably is the disapproval of the compact or amendment at hand. As always, we appreciate the opportunity to provide our feedback during the early stages of drafting regulations, especially those that are well-positioned to support tribal governments and promote self- governance and economic growth. We look forward to the opportunity to continue working with the Department throughout the drafting process. If you have any questions, please contact [Tribe/Nation’s point of contact on this issue].
