# Notice of Purchased/Referred Care Delivery Area Redesignation for the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota, Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe
**AGENCY:**
Indian Health Service, HHS.
**ACTION:**
Notice.
**SUMMARY:**
This Notice advises the public that the Indian Health Service (IHS) proposes to expand the geographic boundaries of the Purchased/Referred Care Delivery Area (PRCDA) for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe in the State of Minnesota to include the Minnesota counties of Crow Wing and Morrison in the State of Minnesota. The current PRCDA for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe includes the Minnesota counties of Aitkin, Kanebec, Mille Lacs, and Pine. Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe members residing outside of the PRCDA are eligible for direct care services, however, they are not eligible for Purchased/Referred Care (PRC) services. The sole purpose of this expansion would be to authorize additional Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe members and beneficiaries to receive PRC services.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
*Background:* 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 person's relative medical priority, 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. 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 must be made in accordance with the procedures of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). In compliance with this requirement, IHS is publishing this Notice and requesting public comments.
The Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Minnesota, Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Tribe's Reservation boundaries were established by the 1855 Treaty between the Chippewa and the United States. While the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe's PRCDA currently consists of Aitkin, Kanebec, Mille Lacs, and Pine counties in the State of Minnesota, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe attests by Tribal Resolution that many Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe members reside in the nearby Minnesota counties of Crow Wing and Morrison. These counties are not currently part of a Tribe's designated PRCDA. Accordingly, IHS proposes to expand the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe's PRCDA to include the Minnesota Counties of Crow Wing and Morrison.
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 Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe estimates the current eligible population will be increased by 324.
2. The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe has determined that these 324 individuals are members of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe and they are socially and economically affiliated with the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.
3. The expanded area including Crow Wing and Morrison counties in the State of Minnesota maintain a common boundary with the current PRCDA consisting of Aitkin, Kanebec, Mille Lacs, and Pine counties in the State of Minnesota.
4. The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe will use its existing Federal allocation for PRC funds to provide services to the expanded population. No additional financial resources will be allocated by IHS to the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe to provide services to Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe members residing in Crow Wing and Morrison counties in the State of Minnesota.
