Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 241 / Monday, December 16, 2024 / Notices 101609 

of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes to 

include the counties of Ada, Bear Lake, 

Blaine, Bonneville, Butte, Canyon, 

Cassia, Custer, Elmore, Franklin, 

Fremont, Gem, Gooding, Jefferson, 

Jerome, Madison, Minidoka, Oneida, 

Payette, Teton, Twin Falls, and 

Washington in the State of Idaho. The 

proposed, expanded PRCDA would not 

create an overlap with any other 

existing PRCDA. 

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 ShoshoneBannock Tribes’ PRCDA to include Ada, 

Bear Lake, Blaine, Bonneville, Butte, 

Canyon, Cassia, Custer, Elmore, 

Franklin, Fremont, Gem, Gooding, 

Jefferson, Jerome, Madison, Minidoka, 

Oneida, Payette, Teton, Twin Falls, and 

Washington Counties of Idaho, the 

Shoshone-Bannock Tribes’ PRC-eligible 

population will increase by an 

estimated 323 Tribal members. 

2. The IHS finds that the Tribal 

members within the proposed, 

expanded PRCDA are socially and 

economically affiliated with the 

Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, based on a 

statement from the Shoshone-Bannock 

Tribes that Tribal members who reside 

in Idaho and receive direct care services 

from Tribal and Federal health programs 

located on the Tribes’ reservation retain 

social and economic ties to the Tribes. 

3. The expanded PRCDA counties 

form a contiguous area with the existing 

PRCDA, and members of the ShoshoneBannock Tribes reside in each of the 

counties proposed for inclusion in the 

expanded PRCDA. Additionally, as 

noted above, Tribal members who reside 

in these counties seek direct care 

services from programs located on the 

Tribes’ reservation. For these reasons, 

the IHS has determined the additional 

counties proposed for inclusion herein 

to be geographically proximate, meaning 

‘‘on or near,’’ to the Tribes’ reservation. 

4. The governing body of the 

Shoshone-Bannock Tribes 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 or 

reduction of the current medical priority 

level.
