Notice of Service Delivery Area Designation for the Tejon Indian 
Tribe

AGENCY: Indian Health Service, Department of Health and Human 
Services..

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This Notice advises the public that the Indian Health Service 
(IHS) proposes the geographic boundaries of the Service Delivery Area 
(SDA) for the Tejon Indian Tribe. The Tribe's federal recognition was 
reaffirmed by the Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs on December 30, 
2011. The Tejon Indian Tribe's SDA is to be comprised of Kern County in 
the State of California. The county listed is designated 
administratively as the SDA, to function as a Contract Health Service 
Delivery Area (CHSDA), for the purpose 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 Ms. 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 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday 
beginning approximately two weeks after publication of this notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 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).

SUPPLEMENTAL 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/restored/
reaffirmed 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/restored/reaffirmed Tribes. At 42 CFR 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 CHS 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).
    On December 30, 2011, the Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs 
reaffirmed the Federal recognition of the Tejon Indian Tribe and the 
government-to-government relationship between the United States and the 
Tribe. The Tejon Indian Tribe is located in Kern County in the State of 
California. 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 that the IHS now administratively designates Kern 
County as the Tejon Indian Tribe's SDA. In California, Congress 
designated the entire state as a CHSDA, excluding certain counties 
(including Kern County) under section 810 of the Indian Healthcare 
Improvement Act, Public Law 94-437, as amended (25 U.S.C. 1680). The 
Director, IHS, may establish SDAs for the purpose of providing CHS for 
newly recognized/restored/reaffirmed Tribes that were not covered by 
Congress' establishment of certain counties in California as a CHSDA. 
These SDAs may include all or part of counties that are not included in 
the Congressional establishment.
    Under 42 CFR 136.23, 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 377 
enrolled Tejon Indian Tribal members who are actively involved with the 
Tribe.
    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.
