Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 174 / Friday, September 9, 2005 / Notices
FY 2005. Continuation awards within
an approved project period will be made
on the basis of satisfactory progress as
evidenced by required reports and the
availability of funds.
Authority: The award is issued under the
authority of the Public Health Service Act,
Section 301(a), and is included under the
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
number 93.933.
The specific objectives of the project
are:
1. The Association will publish, at
least three times yearly, a newsletter for
members. The newsletter will be
available in both hard copy and
electronically.
2. The Association will present an
Annual Educational Conference which
supports training and continuing
education for Native American EMS
providers such as EMT-Basics, EMTIntermediates, EMT-Paramedics,
physicians, nurses, EMS Medical
Directors, ambulance drivers, and First
Responders who will receive
Continuing Education Units/Continuing
Medical Education credits.
3. The Association will act (1) to
disseminate appropriate and accurate
information and education regarding
EMS and EMS providers in Indian
Country to State EMS and State
Administering Agencies, national
professional organizations and federal
agencies and to relay information and
developments back to its membership
and (2) to establish links with other
national Indian organizations,
professional EMS-related groups and
federal agencies.

participate with Department of
Homeland Security, Department of
Health and Human Services and
Mountain Plains Health Consortium to
inform and educate Native American

submitted within 30 days of the end of
the half year. Final financial status
reports are due within 90 days of
expiration of the budget/project period.
Standard Form 269 (long form) will be
used for financial reporting.
Justification for Single Source
Previously, this project was awarded
on a non-competitive continuing basis.
With its national focus and years of
experience and knowledge which
collectively it represents, NNAEMSA
fill a niche that no other organization or
local Native American EMS association
can provide. NNAEMSA is the only
nationwide organization that
specifically represents approximately 80
individual Native American EMS
programs. These EMS programs provide
care to over half-million Native
American people who live on or near
Indian reservations or who live in nonreservation areas with significant Native
American populations. The population
served by these programs is the same as
IHS’s user population. NNAEMSA is
uniquely qualified to provide the
services listed herein, having the
requisite knowledge and experience to
do so. NNAEMSA has an established
record of achievements over the past
five years in providing continuing
medical education programs of high
quality to pre-hospital providers and
valuable tribal EMS expertise to IHS in
consultation.
Use of Cooperative Agreement
A cooperative agreement shall be
awarded because of anticipated
substantial programmatic involvements
by IHS staff in the project. The
substantial programmatic involvement
is as follows:
1. IHS staff will approve articles to be
included in the newsletters and may, as
requested by the Association, provide
articles.
2. Working with the Association, IHS
staff will be involved in the
development of the Annual Educational
Conference to include topics of concern
to the Agency and will be included in
presentations as requested by IHS
Program Staff or NNAEMSA.
3. IHS Program staff will have
approval over the hiring of key
personnel as defined by regulation or
provision in the cooperative agreement.
4. IHS Program staff will provide
technical assistance to the NNAEMSA
Board and will attend in person at least
one NNAEMSA Board meeting.
5. IHS Program staff will provide
technical assistance for the NNAEMSA
Board member training and will attend
in person any NNAEMSA Board
