ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

Notice is hereby given that the Indian Health Service (IHS) is establishing the geographic boundaries of the Purchased/Referred Care Delivery Area (PRCDA) (formerly Contract Health Service Delivery Area or CHSDA) for the newly federally recognized Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana.

DATES:

This notice is applicable as of June 22, 2020.

ADDRESSES:

This notice can be found at www.federalregister.gov. Written requests for information or comments submitted by postal mail or delivery should be addressed to Evonne Bennett, Acting Director, Division of Regulatory and Policy Coordination, Indian Health Service, 5600 Fishers Lane, Mail Stop: 09E70, Rockville, Maryland 20857.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

CDR John Rael, Director, Office of Resource Access and Partnerships, Indian Health Service, 5600 Fishers Lane, Mail Stop: 10E85C, Rockville, Maryland 20857. Telephone (301) 443-0969 (This is not a toll free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The IHS currently provides services under regulations in effect on September 15, 1987, and republished at 42 CFR part 136, subparts A-C. When Tribes are recognized under Federal law, either Congress legislatively designates counties to serve as PRCDAs, or the Director, IHS, exercises reasonable administrative discretion to designate PRCDAs to effectuate the intent of Congress for these Tribes. The Director, IHS, publishes a notice in the Federal Register (FR) when there are revisions or updates to the list of PRCDAs, including the designation of PRCDAs for newly recognized or restored Tribes.

At 42 CFR part 136 Subpart C, a PRCDA is defined as the geographic area within which Purchased/Referred Care (PRC) will be made available by the IHS to members of an identified Indian community who reside in the area. The regulations provide that, unless otherwise designated, a PRCDA shall consist of a county which includes all or part of a reservation and any county or counties which have a common boundary with the reservation (42 CFR 136.22(a)(6)). Residence within a PRCDA by a person who is within the scope of the Indian health program, as set forth in 42 CFR 136.12, creates no legal entitlement to PRC but only potential eligibility for services. Services needed but not available at an IHS or Tribal facility are provided under the PRC program depending on the availability and accessibility of alternate resources in accordance with the regulations.

Under Public Law 116-92 (the “Act”), the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana was officially recognized as an Indian Tribe within the meaning of Federal law. The Act sets forth the service area for the newly recognized Tribe for the purpose of the delivery of Federal services and benefits to Tribal members. The purpose of this FR notice is to notify the public of the establishment of the PRCDA for the newly recognized Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana. Consistent with the Act, IHS is designating the counties of Blaine, Cascade, Glacier, and Hill in the State of Montana as the Tribe's PRCDA.

Under 42 CFR 136.23, those otherwise eligible Indians who do not reside on a reservation but reside within a PRCDA must be either members of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana or maintain close economic and social ties with the Tribe. The financial resources required to meet the immediate needs of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana members residing in the PRCDA are determined by the IHS, through consultation with the Tribe and will be placed in the Billings Area PRC budget.

This notice does not contain reporting or recordkeeping requirements subject to prior approval by the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act. ( printed page 30968)
