    The Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs has approved the fifth amendment to the Tribal-State compact for class III gaming between the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians of Washington and the State of Washington. This amendment permits the operation of electronic table games and eliminates requirements related to revenue sharing for smoking cessation purposes. The approval is guided by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which mandates the Secretary of the Interior to approve such compacts. The changes will be effective from January 15, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The government said it's okay for the Stillaguamish Tribe in Washington to use special electronic game tables in their casinos and decided they don't have to share money for helping people stop smoking anymore.

    The Department of the Interior, through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), is adopting six categorical exclusions (CXs) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) from other federal agencies like the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These CXs relate to managing public lands, including activities like habitat improvement, land acquisition, and handling rights-of-way, without needing extensive environmental evaluations. They worked with these agencies to ensure the exclusions are appropriate, and any actions taken will be considered to avoid extraordinary circumstances that could cause significant environmental impacts. The public can view documentation of this adoption online.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is telling people that they will now use shortcuts (called categorical exclusions) for some activities on public lands, like fixing up animal homes or making paths. These shortcuts mean they won't do big checks for every action unless they think it might harm nature a lot.
