FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 relative medical priority of the
services to be provided, 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 or part of a
reservation and any county or counties
which have a common boundary with
the reservation. 42 CFR 136.22(a)(6).
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. 42 CFR 136.22(b). 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 be
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
made in accordance with the procedures
of the Administrative Procedure Act
(5 U.S.C. 553). 42 CFR 136.22(c). In
compliance with this requirement, the
IHS published a notice of proposed
redesignation and requested public
comments on May 17, 2024 (89 FR
43415). The IHS did not receive any
comments in response to the notice of
proposed redesignation.
In support of this expansion, the IHS
makes the following findings:
1. By expanding the PRCDA to
include Kalamazoo, Kent, and Ottawa
Counties in the State of Michigan, the
Pokagon Band’s PRC-eligible population
will increase by an estimated 537 Tribal
citizens.
2. The Tribal citizens and certain
other PRC-eligible individuals within
the expanded PRCDA are socially and
economically affiliated with the
Pokagon Band based on a Tribal
resolution in which the Pokagon Band
Tribal Council identified its intent to
expand the PRCDA to include
Kalamazoo, Kent, and Ottawa Counties
in Michigan, and stated that the Tribal
citizens and certain other individuals
residing in such areas are socially and
economically affiliated with the
Pokagon Band.
3. The expanded PRCDA counties
form a contiguous area with the existing
PRCDA, and Pokagon Band citizens
reside in each of the expansion
counties. For these reasons, the IHS has
determined that the expansion counties
are geographically proximate, meaning
‘‘on or near’’, to the Pokagon Band’s
reservation.
4. The Pokagon Band has indicated
that its PRC program can continue
providing the same level of care to the
expanded PRC-eligible population. No
additional financial resources will be
allocated by the IHS to the Pokagon
Band to provide services to the Pokagon
Band’s PRC-eligible population as a
result of this PRCDA expansion.
An updated listing of the PRCDAs for
all federally-recognized Tribes may be

Expansion website (https://
www.ihs.gov/prc/prcda-expansion).
Public Comments: The IHS did not
receive any comments in response to the
notice of proposed expansion.
