Please find attached correspondence submitted on behalf of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Tribal Gaming Commission regarding the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR), published on March 26, 2026.
As outlined in the attached letter, the Commission is requesting an extension of time to provide meaningful comments on this matter. Given the complexity of the issues presented, the breadth of the questions posed, and the lack of prior engagement with tribal governments and regulatory bodies, additional time is necessary to fully assess the potential impacts to tribal gaming operations and regulatory frameworks.
We also respectfully emphasize the importance of government-to-government consultation with tribal nations and tribal gaming regulatory agencies prior to advancing this rulemaking. Meaningful consultation is essential to ensure that any regulatory actions appropriately consider tribal sovereignty, existing legal frameworks, and the economic implications for tribal communities.
We appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to continued engagement on this important issue.
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
