DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

42 CFR Parts 36 and 36a


Currently Effective Indian Health Service Eligibility Regulations

AGENCY: Indian Health Service.

ACTION: Final Rule; Correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects a final rule published on October 28, 
1999, governing eligibility for services from the Indian Health 
Service. In that rule, HHS renumbered and suspended the regulations 
that were, and continue to be under a Congressional moratorium. This 
correction clarifies that only subparts A through G of part 36 (as it 
appears in the Code of Federal Regulations edition of October 1, 1999) 
were intended to be moved to the renumbered part and suspended.

DATES: Effective October 28, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leslie M. Morris, Director, Division 
of Regulatory and Legal affairs, Indian Health Service, suite 450, 
12300 Twinbrook Parkway, Rockville, MD 20852, telephone: (301) 443-
1116. (This is not a toll-free number.).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of October 28, 1999 
(64 FR 58318), The Indian Health Service (we) intended to republish the 
eligibility regulations that were still in effect due to a 
Congressional moratorium but which no longer appeared in the Code of 
Federal Regulations. We also intended to renumber the rules subject to 
the moratorium from part 36 to part 36a and suspend them. However, in 
the amendatory instructions, we did not specify that only subparts A 
through G were being renumbered as part 36a and suspended while 
subparts H through J remained in the current part 36.

Correction

    I. Beginning on page 58318 in the third column, the heading ``PART 
36--[REDESIGNATED AS PART 36a]' is removed, and instruction paragraphs 
1. through 5. are corrected to read as set forth below and a new 
instruction 6. is added:
    1. A new part 36a, Indian Health, is added and subparts A through G 
of part 36 are redesignated as Subparts A through G of the new part 
36a.

    3. In newly redesignated Part 36a, in the redesignated section and
