DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Indian Health Service
Notice of Service Delivery Area Designation for the Mashpee
Wampanoag Indian Tribe
AGENCY: Indian Health Service, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This Notice advises the public that the Indian Health Service
(IHS) established the geographic boundaries of the Service Delivery
Area (SDA) for the newly recognized Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Tribe. The
SDA was established on December 22, 2008 and services were provided to
eligible beneficiaries beginning on January 19, 2009. The Mashpee SDA
is comprised of Barnstable, Bristol, Norfolk, Plymouth and Suffolk
counties in the State of Massachusetts. The counties listed are
designated administratively as the SDA, to function as a Contract
Health Service Delivery Area (CHSDA), for the purposes of operating a
Contract Health Service (CHS) program pursuant to the Indian Self-
Determination and Education Assistant Act (ISDEAA), Public Law 93-638.
DATES: This notice is effective 30 days after date of publication in
the Federal Register (FR).
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Betty Gould, Regulations Officer,
Indian Health Service, 801 Thompson Avenue, Suite 450, Rockville,
Maryland 20852. Comments will be made available for public inspection
at this address from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday beginning
approximately two weeks after publication of this notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carl Harper, Director, Office of
Resource Access and Partnerships, Indian Health Service, 801 Thompson
Avenue, Suite 360, Rockville, Maryland 20852. Telephone 301/443-2694
(This is not a toll free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IHS currently provides services under
regulations in effect on September 15, 1987 and IHS republished at 42
CFR part 136, Subparts A-C. Many of the newly recognized Tribes do not
have reservations and either Congress has legislatively designated
counties to serve as SDAs or the Director, IHS, exercised reasonable
administrative discretion to designate SDAs to effectuate the intent of
Congress for these Tribes. The Director, IHS, published notice of the
establishment of SDAs in the June 21, 2007 FR Notice (72 FR 34262-01).
The SDAs function as CHSDAs for the purposes of operating a CHS program
pursuant to the ISDEAA, Public Law 93-638. Thus, the CHSDA list
incorporates the SDAs that operate as CHSDAs for newly recognized
Tribes. At 42 CFR part 136 subpart C, a CHSDA is defined as the
geographic area within which CHS will be made available by the IHS to
members of an identified Indian community who reside in the area.
Residence within a CHSDA 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 contract health services but only potential eligibility
for services. Services needed but not available at an IHS/Tribal
facility are provided under the CHS program depending on the
availability of funds, the person's relative medical priority, and the
actual availability and accessibility of alternate resources in
accordance with the regulations.
As applicable to the Tribes, these regulations provide that, unless
otherwise designated, a CHSDA 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) (2007). In
the Federal Register on February 22, 2007 (72 FR 8007), the Mashpee
Wampanoag Indian Tribe was officially recognized as an Indian Tribe
within the meaning of Federal law. After consultation with the Tribal
governing body, the SDA for the Tribe was agreed upon. The purpose of
this FR notice is to notify the public of the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian
Tribe SDA to incorporate Barnstable, Bristol, Norfolk, Plymouth and
Suffolk counties in the State of Massachusetts. The SDA was established
on December 22, 2008 and services were provided to eligible
beneficiaries beginning on January 19, 2009.
Under 42 CFR 136.23 those otherwise eligible Indians who do not
reside on a reservation but reside within a CHSDA must be either
members of the Tribe or maintain close economic and social ties with
the Tribe. In this case, the Tribe estimated the eligible user
population to be 1,422 enrolled Mashpee Wampanoag members who are
actively involved with the Tribe.
The Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Tribe is located in the town of
Mashpee, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, on the southeastern portion
of Cape Cod along Nantucket Sound. A significant number of the Mashpee
Wampanoag SDA eligible user population also reside in the counties of
Bristol, Norfolk, Plymouth and Suffolk counties in the state of
Massachusetts. These five counties are adjacent to each other.
Barnstable, Bristol, Norfolk, Plymouth and Suffolk counties are not
part of any other Tribe's CHSDA or SDA. It is important for the Mashpee
Wampanoag Indian Tribe to be able to deliver health care services to
enrolled members residing in these five counties. The Tribe believes
eligible Tribal members living in the counties of the proposed SDA
should also be eligible for CHS. The financial resources required to
meet the immediate needs of the Tribal members residing in the five
counties were determined by the IHS and were placed in the Nashville
Area CHS budget. Since
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 of 1980.
