SUMMARY: Notice is given that the
Director of Indian Health Service (IHS),
under the authority of sections 321(a)
and 322(b) of the Public Health Service
Act (42 U.S.C. 248 and 249(b)), Public
Law 83–568 (42 U.S.C. 2001 (a)), and
the Indian Health Care Improvement
Act (25 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), has
approved the following rates for
inpatient and outpatient medical care
provided by IHS facilities for Calendar
Year 2008 for Medicare and Medicaid
beneficiaries and beneficiaries of other
Federal programs. The Medicare Part A
inpatient rates are excluded from the
table below as they are paid based on
the prospective payment system. Since
the inpatient rates set forth below do not
include all physician services and
practitioner services, additional
payment may be available to the extent
that those services meet applicable
requirements. Public Law 106–554,
section 432, dated December 21, 2000,
authorized IHS facilities to file Medicare
Part B claims with the carrier for
payment for physician and certain other
practitioner services provided on or
after July 1, 2001.

provide negotiation resources to Tribes
interested in participating in the Tribal
Self-Governance Program (TSGP) as
authorized by Title V, Tribal SelfGovernance Amendments of 2000 of the
Indian Self-Determination and
Education Assistance Act of Public Law
(Pub. L.) 93–638, as amended. There is
limited competition under this
announcement because the authorizing
legislation, Public Law 106–260, Title V,
restricts eligibility to Tribes that meet
specific criteria (Refer to Section III.l.A.,
ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS in this
announcement). The TSGP is designed
to promote self-determination by
allowing Tribes to assume more control
of Indian Health Service (IHS) programs
and services through compacts
negotiated with the IHS. The
Negotiation Cooperative Agreement
provides Tribes with funds to help
cover the expenses involved in
preparing for and negotiating with the
IHS and assists eligible Indian Tribes to
prepare Compacts and Funding
Agreements (FAs). This program is
described at 93.210 in the Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA).
The Negotiation Cooperative
Agreement provides resources to assist
Indian Tribes to conduct negotiation
activities that include but are not
limited to:
1. Determine what programs, services,
functions, and activities (PSFAs) will be
negotiated.
2. Identification of Tribal shares that
will be included in the FA.
3. Development of the terms and
conditions that will be set forth in the
FA.
The award of a Negotiation
Cooperative Agreement is not required
as a prerequisite to enter the TSGP.
Indian Tribes that have completed
comparable health planning activities in
previous years using Tribal resources
but have not received a Tribal selfgovernance planning award are also
eligible to apply.
II. Award Information
Type of Awards: Cooperative
Agreement.
Estimated Funds Available: The total
amount identified for Fiscal Year (FY)
2008 is $240,000 for approximately
twelve (12) Tribes. Awards under this
announcement are subject to the
availability of funds.
Anticipated Number of Awards: The
estimated number of awards under the
program to be funded is approximately
12.
