[Funding Announcement Number: HHS– 

2010–IHS–TSGN–0001] 

Tribal Self-Governance Program; 

Negotiation Cooperative Agreement 

Announcement Type: New. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance Number: 93.444. 

Key Dates: Application Deadline Date: 

April 16, 2010. Review Date: May 14, 

2010. Anticipated Start Date: June 14, 

2010. 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

The purpose of the Negotiation 

Cooperative Agreement is to provide 

resources to Tribes interested in 

participating in the Tribal SelfGovernance Program (TSGP), as 

authorized by Public Law (Pub. L.) 106– 

260, the Tribal Self-Governance 

Amendments of 2000, and Title V of the 

Indian Self-Determination and 

Education Assistance Act, Public Law 

93–638, as amended (Title V) (25 U.S.C. 

458aaa–2(e)). The Negotiation 

Cooperative Agreement provides a Tribe 

with funds to help cover the expenses 

involved in preparing for and 

negotiating a compact and Funding 

Agreement (FA) with the Indian Health 

Service (IHS). 

There is limited competition under 

this announcement because the 

authorizing legislation restricts 

eligibility to Tribes that meet specific 

criteria (Refer to Section III.1.A., Eligible 

Applicants in this announcement). The 

TSGP is designed to promote SelfGovernance by enabling Tribes to 

assume control of IHS programs, 

services, functions, and activities 

(PSFAs), or portions thereof, through 

compacts negotiated with the IHS. This 

program is described at 93.444 in the 

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 

(CFDA). 

The Negotiation Cooperative 

Agreement provides resources to assist 

Indian Tribes with negotiation activities 

that include but are not limited to: 

1. Determine what PSFAs, or portions 

therein, will be negotiated. 

2. Identification of Tribal funding 

shares that will be included in the FA. 

3. Development of the terms and 

conditions that will be set forth in the 

compact and FA. 

Indian Tribes that have completed 

comparable health planning activities in 

previous years using Tribal resources 

are not required to receive a SelfGovernance Planning Cooperative 

Agreement to be eligible to apply for a 

Negotiation Cooperative Agreement. 

The receipt of a Negotiation Cooperative 

Agreement award is not a prerequisite to 

enter the TSGP. 

The Tribes eligible to compete for the 

Negotiation Cooperative Agreements 

include: Any Federally recognized 

Indian Tribe that has not previously 

received a Negotiation Cooperative 

Agreement; Federally recognized Indian 

Tribes that have previously received a 

Negotiation Cooperative Agreement, but 

chose not to enter the TSGP; and those 

Federally recognized Indian Tribes that 

received a Negotiation Cooperative 

Agreement, entered the TSGP, and 

would like to negotiate the assumption 

of new and expanded programs. If a 

Tribe applies for a Planning Cooperative 

Agreement within the same grant cycle, 

the Negotiation Cooperative Agreement 

will be awarded only upon the 

successful completion of the Planning 

Cooperative Agreement. 

II. Award Information 

Type of Awards: Cooperative 

Agreement. 

Estimated Funds Available: The total 

amount identified for Fiscal Year (FY) 

2010 is $240,000 for approximately 

eight Tribes. Awards under this 

announcement are subject to the 

availability of funds. In the absence of 

funding, the agency is under no 

obligation to make awards that are 

selected for funding under this 

announcement. 

Anticipated Number of Awards: The 

estimated number of awards under the 

program to be funded is approximately 

eight. 

Project Period: 12 months. 

Award Amount: $30,000 per year. 

Programmatic Involvement: 

Negotiation Cooperative Agreements 

entail substantial IHS programmatic 

involvement to establish a process 

through which Tribes can effectively 

approach the IHS to identify PSFAs and 

associated funding that could be 

incorporated into their programs. 

The grantee roles and responsibilities 

are critical to the success of the TSGP 

and include: 

• Determining the PSFAs and 

associated funding the Tribe may elect 

to assume.
