13interest, safety, and welfare.
14    (k) Each organization gaming licensee who obtains gaming
15positions must make a reconciliation payment 3 years after the

21Racing Act of 1975 for the 12-month period for which such
22difference was the largest, minus an amount equal to the

26reimbursement of fees previously paid. This reconciliation
