DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Indian Health Service


Notice of Purchased/Referred Care Delivery Area Redesignation for 
the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation

AGENCY: Indian Health Service, Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This Notice advises the public that the Indian Health Service 
(IHS) proposes to expand the geographic boundaries of the Purchased/
Referred Care Delivery Area (PRCDA) for the Northwestern Band of the 
Shoshone Nation (NWBSN) in the State of Utah to include the Utah 
counties of Box Elder, Davis, Salt Lake, and Weber. The current PRCDA 
for the NWBSN is Box Elder County in the State of Utah. Tribal members 
residing on the Fort Hall Indian Reservation are provided health 
services through the IHS direct care facility in Fort Hall, Idaho, or 
by Purchased/Referred Care (PRC) referrals to private providers. NWBSN 
members residing outside of the PRCDA are eligible for direct care 
services, however, they are not eligible for PRC services. The sole 
purpose of this expansion would be to authorize additional Tribal 
members and beneficiaries to receive PRC services.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Inspection of Public Comments: All comments received before the 
close of the comment period are available for viewing by the public, 
including any personally identifiable or confidential business 
information that is included in a comment.
    Background: The IHS provides services under regulations in effect 
as of September 15, 1987, and republished at 42 CFR part 136, subparts 
A-C. Subpart C defines a Contract Health Service Delivery Area (CHSDA), 
now referred to as a PRCDA, as the geographic area within which PRC 
will be made available by the IHS to members of an identified Indian 
community who reside in the PRCDA. 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/
Tribal facility, are provided under the PRC 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.
    The regulations at 42 CFR part 136, subpart C, provide that, unless 
otherwise designated, a PRCDA shall consist of a county which includes 
all

[[Page 41598]]

or part of a reservation and any county or counties which have a common 
boundary with the reservation. The regulations also provide that after 
consultation with the Tribal governing body or bodies on those 
reservations included within the PRCDA, the Secretary may from time to 
time, redesignate areas within the United States for inclusion in or 
exclusion from a PRCDA. The regulations require that certain criteria 
must be considered before any redesignation is made. The criteria are 
as follows:
    (1) The number of Indians residing in the area proposed to be so 
included or excluded;
    (2) Whether the Tribal governing body has determined that Indians 
residing in the area near the reservation are socially and economically 
affiliated with the Tribe;
    (3) The geographic proximity to the reservation of the area whose 
inclusion or exclusion is being considered; and
    (4) The level of funding which would be available for the provision 
of PRC.
    Additionally, the regulations require that any redesignation of a 
PRCDA must be made in accordance with the procedures of the 
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). In compliance with this 
requirement, IHS is publishing this Notice and requesting public 
comments.
    The NWBSN is a federally recognized Tribe that was signatory to the 
Treaty of Box Elder of 1863 and the Treaty of Fort Bridger of 1868. The 
NWBSN traditionally lived in small family groups scattered throughout 
its identified historic use area. These ancestral lands included areas 
across the States of Utah and Idaho. While the NWBSN's PRCDA currently 
consists of Box Elder County in the State of Utah, the NWBSN attests by 
Tribal Resolution that many NWBSN members reside outside of Box Elder 
County. Specifically, many NWBSN members reside in the nearby Utah 
counties of Davis, Salt Lake, and Weber. These counties are not 
currently part of a Tribe's designated PRCDA. Accordingly, IHS proposes 
to expand the NWBSN's PRCDA to include the Utah counties of Davis, Salt 
Lake, and Weber.
    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 Tribe or other IHS beneficiaries who maintain close 
economic and social ties with the Tribe. In this case, applying the 
aforementioned PRCDA redesignation criteria required by operative 
regulations codified at 42 CFR part 136, subpart C, the following 
findings are made:
    1. By expanding, the NWBSN estimates the current eligible 
population will be increased by 171.
    2. The NWBSN has determined that these 171 individuals are members 
of the NWBSN and they are socially and economically affiliated with the 
NWBSN.
    3. The expanded area including Davis, Salt Lake and Weber Counties 
in the State of Utah maintain a boundary on or near the current Box 
Elder County, Utah PRCDA.
    4. The NWBSN will use its existing Federal allocation for PRC funds 
to provide services to the expanded population. No additional financial 
resources will be allocated by IHS to the NWBSN to provide services to 
NWBSN members residing in Davis, Salt Lake, and Weber counties in the 
State of Utah.
    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.
