Commission Comment: The Tinian Casino Gaming Control Act of 1989, Tinian Local Initiative 1 (effective Jan. 1, 1990) is codified at 10 CMC §§ 2511-25129. On August 18, 1993, the Superior Court issued an order approving and adopting a Revised Tinian Casino Gaming Control Act of 1989 (Revised Act). See Commonwealth v. Tinian Casino Gaming Control Comm’n, Civ. No. 91-0690 (N.M.I. Super. Ct. Aug. 18, 1993) (Order Approving and Adopting the Revised Tinian Casino Gaming Control Act of 1989), reprinted in the commission comment to 10 CMC § 25129. The Revised Act § 5(1) establishes the Tinian Casino Gaming Control Commission (TCGCC), charged with the administration of the Revised Act. Section 5(8)(c) grants TCGCC the responsibility to promulgate such regulations as in its judgment may be necessary to fulfill the policies of the Revised Act, in accordance with Commonwealth law. Revised Act § 121 further delineates the regulations TCGCC is authorized to promulgate. Prior to 1991, the Tinian Casino Gaming Control Commission published emergency and proposed “Regulations Regarding Application Form for a Casino License and Fee for Obtaining an Authorized Application.” Notices of permanent adoption were never published. The history of these regulations is as follows: Emergency and Proposed 12 Com. Reg. 7230 (Aug. 15, 1990) (effective for 120 days from July 11, 1990); Emergency and Proposed 12 Com. Reg. 7204 (July 15, 1990) (effective for 120 days from June 29, 1990). **Commonwealth Register volume 12, number 8, pages 7205-7273 are mislabeled as number 7. Tinian Local Law 14-1 (effective May 24, 2004) significantly amended the Revised Tinian Casino Gaming Control Act of 1989. These regulations have not been updated to conform with TLL 14-1. To the extent these regulations conflict with TLL 14-1, they are superseded. In July 2015 the Tinian Casino Gaming Control Commission adopted regulations regarding the appointment of an administrator for the casino. 37 Com. Reg. 36785 (July 30, 2015). The regulations were proposed as amendments to the personnel regulations at Subchapter 170-30.5. 36 Com. Reg. 35497 (Sept. 28, 2014). Pursuant to 1 CMC §3806(b), however, the Law Revision Commission codified these regulations in part 1000 of subchapter 170-30.2 to fit harmoniously within the code. The Law Revision Commission numbered the regulations to conform to the numbering scheme of the code pursuant to 1 CMC § 3806(a). Part 001 - General Provisions [Reserved.] Part 100 - License and Registration Requirements § 170-30.2-101 Casino Licenses (a) No person shall own or operate a casino unless a casino license shall have first been issued to every person eligible to apply for a casino license concerning the said casino. © 2018 by The Commonwealth Law Revision Commission (Aug. 28, 2018) Page 3 of 52

TITLE 170: LOCAL RULES AND REGULATIONS; TINIAN AND AGUIGUAN (SECOND SENATORIAL DISTRICT) § 170-30.2-801 General Description of Fees and Deposit Policy (a) Operations of the Commission shall be financed exclusively from fees charged each fiscal year to applicants and licensees and shall not be funded from CNMI or municipality general funds. Generally, the Act divides fees into two broad categories: those pertaining to casino licenses and those pertaining to all other forms of licensure or approval. The Commission shall establish, by regulation, fees for the application, issuance, and renewal of all licenses. (b) The differing treatment of these license categories reflects a recognition and judgment that casino applicants and licensees benefit directly or indirectly from all aspects of the regulatory process and are best suited to bear the largest share of the costs incurred by the Commission in implementing that process. Moreover, the actual cost of investigating and considering applications for individual employee licenses and casino service industry licenses will frequently exceed the amount which those applicants and licensees may fairly be required to pay as fees. The fee structure established by the regulations in this subchapter is designed to respond to these policies and problems. (c) To the extent reasonably possible, each applicant or licensee should pay the investigatory or regulatory costs attributable to their application or license. However, since individual employees and casino service industry enterprises cannot always be expected to cover the full amount expended and since a portion of the costs incurred by the Commission pertain to the industry generally, there will be an amount of the annual budget which will not be recoverable through specified fees for particular services. (d) Given the mandate of the Act to recover the cost of maintaining control and regulatory activities from license fees and given the fact that all such activities are undertaken for the direct or indirect benefit or protection of casino operations, the obligation to supply additional funds necessary to recover the otherwise uncollected expenditures of the Commission should be spread among the licensed casino facilities or applicants for casino licenses. By their nature the agency activities generating the otherwise uncollected expenditures are not attributable to any specific casino operation and they produce benefits for all such operations, for example, by creating a pool of licensed individuals to employ and enlarging the class of licensed casino service industries to contract with for goods and services. Thus, it is reasonable to apportion the otherwise uncollected costs equally among the licensed casino facilities and applicants for casino licenses subject to appropriate adjustment where a particular facility is not licensed for an entire fiscal year or where a change of ownership or control of casino operations occurs during the fiscal year which necessitates additional investigation.

(b) One month prior to the beginning of each new calendar quarter, the Commission shall determine previously received funds, not including licensing cost deposits described in § 170- 30.2-830, estimated to be available to fund operations of the Commission during the next quarter.

TITLE 170: LOCAL RULES AND REGULATIONS; TINIAN AND AGUIGUAN (SECOND SENATORIAL DISTRICT) (a) The Commission shall cause all actual costs associated with investigation, hearing, and licensing of each casino license application, as determined necessary by the Commission, to be paid from licensing cost deposits submitted by the affected applicant. With respect to the applicant, officers, principals, shareholders, financiers, contract operators, or any other parties which, in the sole view of the Commission, are subject to licensing standards pursuant to the Act, actual licensing costs shall include but not be limited to the following: (1) Professional fees and expenses incident to investigation of all parties subject to licensing standards; (2) Expenses incident to preparation and conduct of a licensing hearing including expert witnesses or other testimony or evidence considered by the Commission to be relevant to deciding the casino license application; and (3) An hourly charge, including a reasonable allowance for overhead, for all time expended by individual TCGCC Commissioners and staff directly on processing of the affected license application, participation in investigation, report preparation, hearing preparation, hearing participation, and any other matter for which the time expended would not have been necessary were it not for the existence of the particular casino license application. (b) If the Commission determines that actual costs of processing a casino license application will exceed the licensing cost deposit, the applicant will be notified to submit an additional deposit in an amount to be determined by the Commission based on an estimate of the amount of investigation and other expenses remaining. Such notification shall establish a date by which the additional deposit amount is to be remitted which allows a reasonable time of not less than fifteen days in which to comply. (c) When the Commission determines that the processing of a casino license application is concluded due to issuance or denial of the license, acceptance of the applicant’s withdrawal of the application, or for other reasons, any unexpended portion of the licensing costs deposit, including additional amounts required by the Commission subsequent to the initial filing, shall be refunded to the applicant along with a generalized accounting of expenses paid from deposited funds. To protect the confidentiality of investigation methodologies, such accounting to the applicant shall be limited to dates of payments, payees, and amounts paid. (d) Prior or subsequent to issuance of a license, if a licensee or applicant proposes a change to the ownership, capitalization, or organizational structure of the licensee or applicant which, pursuant to the Act and in the sole judgment of the Commission, requires that additional investigation be undertaken, the Commission will notify the applicant of an amount and due date for remittance of a licensing cost deposit based on the estimated cost of additional investigation and other expenses. The disposition of this additional deposit amount shall be in accordance with other provisions of this section. Modified, 1 CMC § 3806(e). History: Amdts Adopted 17 Com.
