VIII. Other Information 

The Public Health Service strongly

products. In addition, Public Law 103– 

227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994, 

prohibits smoking in certain facilities 

(or in some cases, any portion of the 

facility) in which regular or routine 

education, library, day care, health care, 

or early childhood development 

services are provided to children. This 

is consistent with the HHS mission to 

protect and advance the physical and 

mental health of the American people.

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Statutory Authority 

The Indian Health Service (IHS) is 

accepting applications for Planning 

Cooperative Agreements for the Tribal 

Self-Governance Program (TSGP). This 

program is authorized under the Snyder 

Act, 25 U.S.C. 13; the Transfer Act, 42 

U.S.C. 2001(a); and Title V of the Indian 

Self-Determination and Education 

Assistance Act (ISDEAA), 25 U.S.C. 

5383(e). This program is described in 

the Assistance Listings located at 

https://sam.gov/content/home (formerly 

known as Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance) under 93.444. 

Background 

The TSGP is more than an IHS 

program; it is an expression of the 

Government-to-Government 

relationship between the United States 

(U.S.) and Indian Tribes. Through the 

TSGP Tribes negotiate with the IHS to 

assume Programs, Services, Functions, 

and Activities (PSFAs), or portions 

thereof, which gives Tribes the authority 

to manage and tailor health care 

programs in a manner that best fits the 

needs of their communities. 

Participation in the TSGP affords 

Tribes the most flexibility to tailor their 

health care needs by choosing one of 

three ways to obtain health care from 

the Federal government for their 

citizens. Specifically, Tribes can choose 

to: (1) receive health care services 

directly from the IHS; (2) contract with 

the IHS to administer individual 

programs and services the IHS would 

otherwise provide (referred to as Title I 

Self-Determination Contracting); and (3) 

compact with the IHS to assume control 

over health care programs the IHS 

would otherwise provide (referred to as 

Title V Self-Governance Compacting or 

the TSGP). These options are not 

exclusive and Tribes may choose to 

combine options based on their 

individual needs and circumstances. 

The TSGP is a tribally-driven 

initiative and strong Federal-Tribal 

partnerships are essential to the 

program’s success. The IHS established 

the Office of Tribal Self-Governance 

(OTSG) to implement the SelfGovernance authorities under the 

ISDEAA. The primary OTSG functions 

are to: (1) serve as the primary liaison 

and advocate for Tribes participating in 

the TSGP; (2) develop, direct, and 

implement TSGP policies and 

procedures; (3) provide information and 

technical assistance to Self-Governance 

Tribes; and (4) advise the IHS Director 

on compliance with TSGP policies, 

regulations, and guidelines. Each IHS 

Area has an Agency Lead Negotiator 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
42192 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 134 / Thursday, July 14, 2022 / Notices 

(ALN), designated by the IHS Director to 

act on his or her behalf, who has 

authority to negotiate Self-Governance 

Compacts and Funding Agreements. 

Tribes interested in participating in the 

TSGP should contact their respective 

ALN to begin the Self-Governance 

planning and negotiation process. 

Tribes currently participating in the 

TSGP that are interested in expanding 

existing or adding new PSFAs should 

also contact their respective ALN to 

discuss the best methods for expanding 

or adding new PSFAs. 

Purpose 

The purpose of this Planning 

Cooperative Agreement is to provide 

resources to Tribes interested in 

entering the TSGP and to existing SelfGovernance Tribes interested in 

assuming new or expanded PSFAs. Title 

V of the ISDEAA requires a Tribe or 

Tribal organization (T/TO) to complete 

a planning phase to the satisfaction of 

the Tribe. The planning phase must 

include legal and budgetary research 

and internal Tribal government 

planning and organizational preparation 

relating to the administration of health 

care programs. See 25 U.S.C. 5383(d). 

The planning phase is critical to 

negotiations and helps Tribes make 

informed decisions about which PSFAs 

to assume and what organizational 

changes or modifications are necessary 

to successfully support those PSFAs. A 

thorough planning phase improves 

timeliness and efficient negotiations and 

ensures that the Tribe is fully prepared 

to assume the transfer of IHS PSFAs to 

the Tribal health program. 

A Planning Cooperative Agreement is 

not a prerequisite to enter the TSGP and 

a Tribe may use other resources to meet 

the planning requirement. Tribes that 

receive Planning Cooperative 

Agreements are not obligated to 

participate in the TSGP and may choose 

to delay or decline participation based 

on the outcome of their planning 

activities. This also applies to existing 

Self-Governance Tribes exploring the 

option to expand their current PSFAs or 

assume additional PSFAs. 

II. Award Information 

Funding Instrument—Cooperative 

Agreement 

Estimated Funds Available 

The total funding identified for fiscal 

year (FY) 2022 is approximately 

$900,000. Individual award amounts are 

anticipated to be $180,000. The funding 

available for competing awards issued 

under this announcement is subject to 

the availability of appropriations and 

budgetary priorities of the Agency. The 

IHS is under no obligation to make 

awards that are selected for funding 

under this announcement. 

Anticipated Number of Awards 

Approximately five awards will be 

issued under this program 

announcement. 

Period of Performance 

The period of performance is for 1 

year. 

Cooperative Agreement 

Cooperative agreements awarded by 

the Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) are administered under 

the same policies as grants. However, 

the funding agency, IHS, is anticipated 

to have substantial programmatic 

involvement in the project during the 

entire period of performance. Below is 

a detailed description of the level of 

involvement required of the IHS. 

Substantial Agency Involvement 

Description for Cooperative Agreement 

A. Provide descriptions of PSFAs and 

associated funding at all organizational 

levels (service unit, area, and 

headquarters) including funding 

formulas and methodologies related to 

determining Tribal shares. 

B. Meet with Planning Cooperative 

Agreement recipients to provide 

program information and discuss 

methods currently used to manage and 

deliver health care. 

C. Identify and provide statutes, 

regulations, and policies that provide 

authority for administering IHS 

programs. 

D. Provide technical assistance on the 

IHS budget, Tribal shares, and other

registration through the SAM home page 

at https://sam.gov. United States (U.S.) 

organizations will also need to provide 

an Employer Identification Number 

from the Internal Revenue Service that 

may take an additional 2–5 weeks to 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 134 / Thursday, July 14, 2022 / Notices 42195 

become active. Please see SAM.gov for 

details on the registration process and 

timeline. Registration with the SAM is 

free of charge but can take several weeks 

to process. Applicants may register 

online at https://sam.gov. 

Unique Entity Identifier 

Your SAM.gov registration now 

includes a Unique Entity Identifier 

(UEI), generated by SAM.gov, which 

replaces the DUNS number obtained 

from Dun and Bradstreet. SAM.gov 

registration no longer requires a DUNS 

number. 

Check your organization’s SAM.gov 

registration as soon as you decide to 

apply for this program. If your SAM.gov 

registration is expired, you will not be 

able to submit an application. It can take 

several weeks to renew it or resolve any 

issues with your registration, so do not 

wait. 

Check your Grants.gov registration. 

Registration and role assignments in 

Grants.gov are self-serve functions. One 

user for your organization will have the 

authority to approve role assignments, 

and these must be approved for active 

users in order to ensure someone in 

your organization has the necessary 

access to submit an application. 

The Federal Funding Accountability 

and Transparency Act of 2006, as 

amended (‘‘Transparency Act’’), 

requires all HHS awardees to report 

information on sub-awards. 

Accordingly, all IHS awardees must 

notify potential first-tier sub-awardees 

that no entity may receive a first-tier 

sub-award unless the entity has 

provided its UEI number to the prime 

awardee organization. This requirement 

ensures the use of a universal identifier 

to enhance the quality of information 

available to the public pursuant to the 

Transparency Act. 

Additional information on 

implementing the Transparency Act, 

including the specific requirements for 

SAM, are available on the DGM Grants 

Management, Policy Topics web page at 

https://www.ihs.gov/dgm/policytopics/.

total of 100 possible points. Points are 

assigned as follows: 

1. Evaluation Criteria 

A. Introduction and Need for Assistance 

(25 Points) 

Describe the Tribe’s current health 

program activities, including: how long 

it has been operating, what programs or 

services are currently being provided, 

and if the applicant is currently 

administering any ISDEAA Title I SelfDetermination Contracts or Title V SelfGovernance Compacts. Identify the need

to expand. 

B. Project Objective(s), Work Plan, and 

Approach (25 Points) 

State in measurable terms the 

objectives and appropriate activities to 

achieve the following Planning 

Cooperative Agreement recipient award 

activities: 

(1) Research and analyze the complex 

IHS budget to gain a thorough 

understanding of funding distribution at 

all organizational levels and determine 

which PSFAs the Tribe may elect to 

assume or expand. 

(2) Establish a process to identify 

PSFAs and associated funding that may 

be incorporated into current programs. 

(3) Determine the Tribe’s share of 

each PSFA and evaluate the current 

level of health care services being 

provided to make an informed decision

assumption. 

(4) Describe how the objectives are 

consistent with the purpose of the 

program, the needs of the people to be 

served, and how they will be achieved 

within the proposed timeframe. Identify 

the expected results, benefits, and 

outcomes or products to be derived from 

each objective of the project. 

C. Program Evaluation (25 Points) 

Define the criteria to be used to 

evaluate planning activities and how 

they will be measured. Clearly describe 

the methodologies and parameters that 

will be used to determine if the needs 

identified are being met and if the 

outcomes identified are being achieved. 

Are the goals and objectives measurable 

and consistent with the purpose of the 

program and meet the needs of the 

people to be served? Are they 

achievable within the proposed 

timeframe? Describe how the 

assumption of PSFAs enhances 

sustainable health delivery. Ensure the 

measurement includes activities that 

will lead to sustainability. 

D. Organizational Capabilities, Key 

Personnel, and Qualifications (15 

Points)

• Additional documents to support 

narrative (i.e., data tables, key news 

articles, etc.). 

2. Review and Selection 

Each application will be prescreened 

for eligibility and completeness as 

outlined in the funding announcement. 

Applications that meet the eligibility 

criteria shall be reviewed for merit by 

the Objective Review Committee (ORC) 

based on evaluation criteria. Incomplete 

applications and applications that are 

not responsive to the administrative 

thresholds (budget limit, period of 

performance limit) will not be referred 

to the ORC and will not be funded. The 

applicant will be notified by the 

program office of this determination. 

Applicants must address all program 

requirements and provide all required 

documentation. 

3. Notifications of Disposition 

All applicants will receive an 

Executive Summary Statement from the 

IHS OTSG within 30 days of the 

conclusion of the ORC outlining the 

strengths and weaknesses of their 

application. The summary statement 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
42196 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 134 / Thursday, July 14, 2022 / Notices 

will be sent to the Authorizing Official 

identified on the face page (SF–424) of 

the application. 

A. Award Notices for Funded 

Applications 

The NoA is the authorizing document 

for which funds are dispersed to the 

approved entities and reflects the 

amount of Federal funds awarded, the 

purpose of the award, the terms and 

conditions of the award, the effective 

date of the award, the budget period, 

and period of performance. Each entity 

approved for funding must have a user 

account in GrantSolutions in order to 

retrieve the NoA. Please see the Agency 

Contacts list in Section VII for the 

systems contact information. 

B. Approved but Unfunded 

Applications 

Approved applications not funded 

due to lack of available funds will be 

held for 1 year. If funding becomes 

available during the course of the year, 

the application may be reconsidered. 

Note: Any correspondence, other than the 

official NoA executed by an IHS grants 

management official announcing to the 

project director that an award has been made 

to their organization, is not an authorization 

to implement their program on behalf of the 

IHS. 

VI. Award Administration Information 

1. Administrative Requirements 

Awards issued under this 

announcement are subject to, and are 

administered in accordance with, the 

following regulations and policies: 

A. The criteria as outlined in this 

program announcement.

C. Grants Policy: 

• HHS Grants Policy Statement, 

Revised January 2007, at https://

www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/grants/

grants/policies-regulations/ 

hhsgps107.pdf. 

D. Cost Principles: 

• Uniform Administrative 

Requirements for HHS Awards, ‘‘Cost 

Principles,’’ at 45 CFR part 75 subpart 

E. 

E. Audit Requirements: 

• Uniform Administrative 

Requirements for HHS Awards, ‘‘Audit 

Requirements,’’ at 45 CFR part 75 

subpart F. 

F. As of August 13, 2020, 2 CFR 200 

was updated to include a prohibition on 

certain telecommunications and video 

surveillance services or equipment. This 

prohibition is described in 2 CFR 

200.216. This will also be described in 

the terms and conditions of every IHS 

grant and cooperative agreement 

awarded on or after August 13, 2020. 

2. Indirect Costs 

This section applies to all recipients 

that request reimbursement of IDC in 

their application budget. In accordance 

with HHS Grants Policy Statement, Part 

II–27, the IHS requires applicants to 

obtain a current IDC rate agreement and 

submit it to the DGM prior to the DGM 

issuing an award. The rate agreement 

must be prepared in accordance with 

the applicable cost principles and 

guidance as provided by the cognizant 

agency or office. A current rate covers 

the applicable grant activities under the 

current award’s budget period. If the 

current rate agreement is not on file 

with the DGM at the time of award, the 

IDC portion of the budget will be 

restricted. The restrictions remain in 

place until the current rate agreement is 

provided to the DGM. 

Per 45 CFR 75.414(f) Indirect (F&A) 

costs, ‘‘any non-Federal entity (NFE) 

[i.e., applicant] that has never received 

a negotiated indirect cost rate, ... may 

elect to charge a de minimis rate of 10 

percent of modified total direct costs 

which may be used indefinitely. As 

described in Section 75.403, costs must 

be consistently charged as either 

indirect or direct costs, but may not be 

double charged or inconsistently 

charged as both. If chosen, this 

methodology once elected must be used 

consistently for all Federal awards until 

such time as the NFE chooses to 

negotiate for a rate, which the NFE may 

apply to do at any time.’’ 

Electing to charge a de minimis rate 

of 10 percent only applies to applicants 

that have never received an approved 

negotiated indirect cost rate from HHS 

or another cognizant federal agency. 

Applicants awaiting approval of their 

indirect cost proposal may request the 

10 percent de minimis rate. When the 

applicant chooses this method, costs 

included in the indirect cost pool must 

not be charged as direct costs to the 

grant. 

Available funds are inclusive of direct 

and appropriate indirect costs. 

Approved indirect funds are awarded as 

part of the award amount, and no 

additional funds will be provided. 

Generally, IDC rates for IHS grantees 

are negotiated with the Division of Cost 

Allocation at https://rates.psc.gov/ or 

the Department of the Interior (Interior 

Business Center) at https://ibc.doi.gov/ 

ICS/tribal. For questions regarding the 

indirect cost policy, please call the 

Grants Management Specialist listed 

under ‘‘Agency Contacts’’ or the main 

DGM office at (301) 443–5204. 

3. Reporting Requirements 

The awardee must submit required 

reports consistent with the applicable 

deadlines. Failure to submit required 

reports within the time allowed may 

result in suspension or termination of 

an active grant, withholding of 

additional awards for the project, or 

other enforcement actions such as 

withholding of payments or converting 

to the reimbursement method of 

payment. Continued failure to submit 

required reports may result in the 

imposition of special award provisions 

and/or the non-funding or non-award of 

other eligible projects or activities. This 

requirement applies whether the 

delinquency is attributable to the failure 

of the awardee organization or the 

individual responsible for preparation 

of the reports. Per DGM policy, all 

reports must be submitted electronically 

by attaching them as a ‘‘Grant Note’’ in 

GrantSolutions. Personnel responsible 

for submitting reports will be required 

to obtain a login and password for 

GrantSolutions. Please see the Agency 

Contacts list in Section VII for the 

systems contact information. 

The reporting requirements for this 

program are noted below. 

A. Progress Reports 

Program progress reports are required 

semi-annually. The progress reports are 

due within 30 days after the reporting 

period ends (specific dates will be listed 

in the NoA Terms and Conditions). 

These reports must include a brief 

comparison of actual accomplishments 

to the goals established for the period, 

a summary of progress to date or, if 

applicable, provide sound justification 

for the lack of progress, and other 

pertinent information as required. A 

final report must be submitted within 90 

days of expiration of the period of 

performance.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 134 / Thursday, July 14, 2022 / Notices 42197 

B. Financial Reports 

A Federal Financial Report is due 90 

days after the end of the Period of 

Performance. 

Grantees are responsible and 

accountable for reporting accurate 

information on all required reports: the 

Progress Reports and the Federal 

Financial Report. 

C. Federal Sub-Award Reporting System 

(FSRS) 

This award may be subject to the 

Transparency Act sub-award and 

executive compensation reporting 

requirements of 2 CFR part 170. 

The Transparency Act requires the 

OMB to establish a single searchable 

database, accessible to the public, with 

information on financial assistance 

awards made by Federal agencies. The 

Transparency Act also includes a 

requirement for recipients of Federal 

grants to report information about firsttier sub-awards and executive 

compensation under Federal assistance 

awards. 

The IHS has implemented a Term of 

Award into all IHS Standard Terms and 

Conditions, NoAs, and funding 

announcements regarding the FSRS 

reporting requirement. This IHS Term of 

Award is applicable to all IHS grant and 

cooperative agreements issued on or 

after October 1, 2010, with a $25,000 

sub-award obligation threshold met for 

any specific reporting period. 

For the full IHS award term 

implementing this requirement and 

additional award applicability 

information, visit the DGM Grants 

Management website at https://

www.ihs.gov/dgm/policytopics/. 

D. Non-Discrimination Legal 

Requirements for Awardees of Federal 

Financial Assistance 

Should you successfully compete for 

an award, recipients of Federal financial 

assistance (FFA) from HHS must 

administer their programs in 

compliance with Federal civil rights 

laws that prohibit discrimination on the 

basis of race, color, national origin, 

disability, age and, in some 

circumstances, religion, conscience, and 

sex (including gender identity, sexual 

orientation, and pregnancy). This 

includes ensuring programs are 

accessible to persons with limited 

English proficiency and persons with 

disabilities. The HHS Office for Civil 

Rights provides guidance on complying 

with civil rights laws enforced by HHS. 

Please see https://www.hhs.gov/civilrights/for-providers/providerobligations/index.html and https://

www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/forindividuals/nondiscrimination/ 

index.html. 

• Recipients of FFA must ensure that 

their programs are accessible to persons 

with limited English proficiency. For 

guidance on meeting your legal 

obligation to take reasonable steps to 

ensure meaningful access to your 

programs or activities by limited English 

proficiency individuals, see https://

www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/forindividuals/special-topics/limitedenglish-proficiency/fact-sheet-guidance/ 

index.html and https://www.lep.gov. 

• For information on your specific 

legal obligations for serving qualified 

individuals with disabilities, including 

reasonable modifications and making 

services accessible to them, see https:// 

www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/forindividuals/disability/index.html. 

• HHS funded health and education 

programs must be administered in an 

environment free of sexual harassment. 

See https://www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/forindividuals/sex-discrimination/ 

index.html. 

• For guidance on administering your 

program in compliance with applicable 

Federal religious nondiscrimination 

laws and applicable Federal conscience 

protection and associated antidiscrimination laws, see https://

www.hhs.gov/conscience/conscienceprotections/index.html and https://

www.hhs.gov/conscience/religiousfreedom/index.html. 

E. Federal Awardee Performance and 

Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) 

The IHS is required to review and 

consider any information about the 

applicant that is in the FAPIIS at 

https://www.fapiis.gov/fapiis/#/home 

before making any award in excess of 

the simplified acquisition threshold 

(currently $250,000) over the period of 

performance. An applicant may review 

and comment on any information about 

itself that a Federal awarding agency 

previously entered. The IHS will 

consider any comments by the 

applicant, in addition to other 

information in FAPIIS, in making a 

judgment about the applicant’s integrity, 

business ethics, and record of 

performance under Federal awards 

when completing the review of risk 

posed by applicants, as described in 45 

CFR 75.205. 

As required by 45 CFR part 75 

Appendix XII of the Uniform Guidance, 

NFEs are required to disclose in FAPIIS 

any information about criminal, civil, 

and administrative proceedings, and/or 

affirm that there is no new information 

to provide. This applies to NFEs that 

receive Federal awards (currently active 

grants, cooperative agreements, and 

procurement contracts) greater than 

$10,000,000 for any period of time 

during the period of performance of an 

award/project. 

Mandatory Disclosure Requirements 

As required by 2 CFR part 200 of the 

Uniform Guidance, and the HHS 

implementing regulations at 45 CFR part 

75, the IHS must require an NFE or an 

applicant for a Federal award to 

disclose, in a timely manner, in writing 

to the IHS or pass-through entity all 

violations of Federal criminal law 

involving fraud, bribery, or gratuity 

violations potentially affecting the 

Federal award. 

All applicants and recipients must 

disclose in writing, in a timely manner, 

to the IHS and to the HHS Office of 

Inspector General of all information 

related to violations of Federal criminal 

law involving fraud, bribery, or gratuity 

violations potentially affecting the 

Federal award. 45 CFR 75.113.

VIII. Other Information 

The Public Health Service strongly 

encourages all grant, cooperative 

agreement, and contract recipients to 

provide a smoke-free workplace and 

promote the non-use of all tobacco 

products. In addition, Public Law 103– 

227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994, 

prohibits smoking in certain facilities 

(or in some cases, any portion of the 

facility) in which regular or routine 

education, library, day care, health care, 

or early childhood development 

services are provided to children. This 

is consistent with the HHS mission to 

protect and advance the physical and 

mental health of the American people.
