DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Indian Health Service
Notice of Service Delivery Area Designation for the Koi Nation of
Northern California Formerly Known as the Lower Lake Rancheria
AGENCY: Indian Health Service, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This Notice advises the public that the Indian Health Service
(IHS) proposes the geographic boundaries of the Service Delivery Area
(SDA) for the reaffirmed Koi Nation of Northern California, formerly
known as the Lower Lake Rancheria, California (Indian Entities
Recognized and Eligible to Receive Services From the United States
Bureau of Indian Affairs, 80 Federal Register 1942 Jan. 14, 2015). The
Koi Nation's Federal recognition was reaffirmed by the Assistant
Secretary of Indian Affairs on December 29, 2000. The Koi Nation SDA is
to be comprised of Lake and Sonoma Counties in the State of California.
The counties listed are designated administratively as the SDA, to
function as a Purchased/Referred Care (PRC), formerly known as contract
health services, SDA, for the purposes of operating a PRC program
pursuant to the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act
(ISDEAA), Pub. L. 93-638.
DATES: This notice is effective 30 days after date of publication in
the Federal Register (FR).
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Ms. Betty Gould, Regulations
Officer, Indian Health Service, 801 Thompson Avenue, Suite 450,
Rockville, Maryland 20852. Comments will be made available for public
inspection at this address from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday
beginning approximately two weeks after publication of this notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Carl Harper, Director, Office of
Resource Access and Partnerships, Indian Health Service, 801 Thompson
Avenue, Suite 360, Rockville, Maryland 20852. Telephone 301/443-2694
(This is not a toll free number).
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: The IHS currently provides services under
regulations in effect on September 15, 1987 and IHS republished at 42
CFR part 136, subparts A through C. Many of the newly recognized/
restored/reaffirmed Tribes do not have reservations and either Congress
has legislatively designated counties to serve as SDAs or the Director,
IHS, exercised reasonable administrative discretion to designate SDAs
to effectuate the intent of Congress for these Tribes. The Director,
IHS, published notice of the establishment of SDAs in the June 21, 2007
FR Notice (72 FR 34262-01). The SDAs function as PRC SDAs for the
purposes of operating a PRC program pursuant to the ISDEAA, Pub. L. 93-
638. Thus, the PRC SDA list incorporates the SDAs that operate as PRC
SDAs for newly recognized/restored/reaffirmed Tribes. At 42 CFR part
136 Subpart C, a PRC SDA is defined 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 area. Residence within a PRC SDA 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.
As applicable to the Tribes, these regulations provide that, unless
otherwise designated, a PRC SDA 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)
(2014). On December 29, 2000 the Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs
reaffirmed the Federal recognition of the Koi Nation (Tribe), formerly
known as the Lower Lake Rancheria, and the government-to-government
relationship between the United States and the Tribe. The Koi Nation is
located in Lake and Sonoma Counties in the State of California. After
consultation with the Tribal governing body, the SDA for the Tribe was
agreed upon. The purpose of this FR notice is to notify the public that
the IHS now administratively designates Lake and Sonoma Counties as the
Koi Nation's SDA.
Under 42 CFR 136.23 those otherwise eligible Indians who do not
reside on a reservation but reside within a PRC SDA must be either
members of the Tribe or maintain close economic and social ties with
the Tribe. In this case, the Tribe estimated the eligible user
population to be 72 enrolled Koi Nation members who are actively
involved with the Tribe.
The Koi Nation's Tribal office is located in the city of Santa
Rosa, Sonoma County, in the State of California. A significant number
of the Koi Nation SDA eligible user population also resides in Lake
County in the State of California. There are other Federally recognized
Tribes in Lake and Sonoma Counties and both counties are currently part
of other Tribes' PRC SDA. The Koi Nation only seeks to provide health
care services to its members who reside in Lake and Sonoma Counties.
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.

\1\ Public Law 100-89, Restoration Act for Ysleta Del Sur and Alabama
and Coushatta Tribes of Texas establishes service areas for ``members
of the Tribe'' by sections 101(3) and 105(a) for the Pueblo and
sections 201(3) and 206(a) respectively.
\2\ Entire State of Alaska is included as a CHSDA by regulation (42 CFR
136.22(a)(1)).
\3\ Aroostook Band of Micmacs was recognized by Congress on November 26,
1991 through the Aroostook Band of Micmac Settlement Act. Aroostook
County, ME, was defined as the SDA.
\4\ Special programs have been established by Congress irrespective of
the eligibility regulations. Eligibility for services at these
facilities is based on the legislative history of the appropriation of
funds for the particular facility rather than the eligibility
regulations. Historically services have been provided at Brigham City
Intermountain School Health Center, Utah (Public Law 88-358).
\5\ Entire State of California, excluding the counties of Alameda,
Contra Costa, Los Angeles, Marin, Orange, Sacramento, San Francisco,
San Mateo, Santa Clara, Kern, Merced, Monterey, Napa, San Benito, San
Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, Santa Cruz, Solano, Stanislaus, and Ventura,
is designated a CHSDA (25 U.S.C. 1680).
\6\ The counties were recognized after the January 1984 CHSDA FRN was
published, in accordance with Public Law 103-116, Catawba Indian Tribe
of South Carolina Land Claims Settlement Act of 1993, dated October
27, 1993.
\7\ There is no reservation for the Cayuga Nation; the service delivery
area consists of those counties identified by the Cayuga Nation.
\8\ Skamania County, WA, has historically been a part of the Yakama
Service Unit population since 1979.
\9\ In order to carry out the Congressional intent of the Siletz
Restoration Act, Public Law 95-195, as expressed in H. Report No. 95-
