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
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 is publishing this Notice and
requesting public comments.
The Chippewa Cree Tribe of the
Rocky Boy’s Reservation is located Hill
and Choteau Counties of Montana. The
Chippewa Cree Tribe operates their PRC
program under an Indian SelfDetermination and Education
Assistance Act agreement with the IHS.
The Chippewa Cree Tribe has requested
that the IHS expand its PRCDA to
include Cascade County, Montana. The
requested PRCDA redesignation would
share Cascade County with the PRCDA
of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa
Indians of Montana (‘‘Little Shell
Tribe’’). The Billings Area held
discussions with the Little Shell Tribe,
during which the Little Shell Tribe did
not raise any objections to the
expansion of the Chippewa Cree Tribe’s
PRCDA to include Cascade County.
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 PRCDA to
include Cascade County, Montana, the
IHS and the Chippewa Cree Tribe
estimate that the Tribe’s PRC eligible
population would increase by an
estimated 251 Tribal members.
2. As part of their expansion request,
the Chippewa Cree Tribe submitted a
resolution from the Tribe’s governing
body. The resolution explains that the
expansion is intended to serve their
members living in Cascade County,
Montana and it describes those
members as being socially and

economically tied to the Tribe’s
reservation. The IHS therefore finds that
the Tribal members within the
proposed, expanded PRCDA are socially
and economically affiliated with the
Chippewa Cree Tribe.
3. The expanded PRCDA county
forms a contiguous area with the
existing PRCDA. Members of the
Chippewa Cree Tribe reside in the
county proposed for inclusion in the
expanded PRCDA. Through their
expansion request, the Tribe described
how close Cascade County, Montana is
to their reservation and explained that
it is close enough for their members
residing there to return frequently to the
Tribe’s reservation for ceremony and
participation in Tribal elections. For
these reasons, the IHS has determined
the additional county proposed for
inclusion herein to be geographically
proximate, meaning ‘‘on or near,’’ to the
Tribe’s reservation.
4. Through the Chippewa Cree Tribe’s
request to expand its PRCDA, the Tribe
has indicated that the PRC program can
continue providing the same level of
care to the PRC eligible population if the
PRCDA is expanded as proposed,
without requiring additional funding
from the IHS or reduction of the current
medical priority level.
Accordingly, the IHS proposes to
expand the PRCDA of the Chippewa
Cree Tribe to include the county of
Cascade in the state of Montana.
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.
