Statutory Procedures 

Requesters must submit either a Letter 

of Intent to File a Request for Benefits 

or a Request Package no later than one 

(1) year from the date the covered 

countermeasure was administered or 

used. The forms and instructions for the 

submission of a Request Package will 

become available upon publication in 

the Federal Register of the policies and 

procedures that will govern the CICP. 

The timely submission of a Letter of 

Intent to File will meet the statutory 

requirement that a requester must file a 

Request for Benefits within the one-year 

time period. 

Submission of a Letter of Intent To File 

a Request for Benefits 

Until the forms and instructions for 

filing are available, requesters must 

submit a Letter of Intent to File a 

Request for Benefits in order to meet the 

filing deadline. A Letter of Intent to File 

must include the following information: 

• The name, current address and 

phone number of the Requester. 

• The covered countermeasure 

received, the date it was received, the 

circumstances under which the covered 

countermeasure was received (e.g., 

clinical trial sponsored by the National 

Institutes of Health, or as part of routine 

healthcare), and the name of the 

countermeasure recipient if the 

Requester is filing a death claim. 

Although it is not required, a 

Requester may engage the services of an 

attorney or other representative to file 

the Request for Benefits on his or her 

behalf. However, the payment of fees 

and/or costs by the CICP of an attorney 

or other representative is not permitted. 

Upon receipt of the Letter of Intent to 

File a Request for Benefits, the CICP will 

respond with an acknowledgment letter. 

The acknowledgement letter will 

include a CICP case number assigned to 

the Letter of Intent. Thereafter, the 

Requester must notify the CICP of any 

change of address, phone number, or 

representative of record. 

The postmarked date of the Letter of 

Intent to File will be viewed as the date 

of filing a Request for Benefits for 

purposes of the one (1) year filing 

deadline. The CICP will notify 

Requesters once the regulation has been 

approved and published, and the forms 

and instructions for filing are available.

AGENCY: Indian Health Service. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This Notice advises the public

boundaries of the Service Delivery Area 

(SDA) for the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. The 

Cowlitz SDA currently is comprised of 

Clark, Cowlitz, King, Lewis, Pierce, 

Skamania, and Thurston in the State of 

Washington. These counties were 

designated as the Tribe’s SDA in 67 FR 

46329. Under this final decision, 

Columbia County, Oregon, and Kittitas 

and Wahkiakum Counties, Washington 

will be added to the existing Cowlitz 

SDA. 

DATES: This notice is effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carl

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A previous notice was published in 

the Federal Register Vol. 74, No. 243 on 

Monday, December 21, 2009 notifying 

the public of the Indian Health Services’ 

(IHS) intention to expand the Cowlitz 

Tribe’s Service Delivery Area to include 

Columbia County in the State of Oregon, 

and Kittitas and Wahkiakum Counties 

in the State of Washington and invited 

the public to submit comments. No 

comments were received. Therefore, the 

purpose of this FR is to notify the public 

of the IHS Director’s decision to grant 

the request of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe 

to expand their SDA as present in their 

08–3 Tribal resolution dated January 5, 

2008, and 08–56 Tribal resolution, dated 

December 06, 2008. The Tribe’s request 

will expand their current SDA which 

incorporates Cowlitz, Clark, Skamania, 

King, Pierce, Thurston and Lewis 

Counties in the State of Washington, to 

include Columbia County in the State of 

Oregon, and Kittitas and Wahkiakum 

Counties in the State of Washington. 

Accordingly, after considering the 

Tribes’ request in light of the criteria 

specified in the regulations, the IHS has 

decided to re-designate the SDA for the 

Tribe to consist of Columbia County in 

the State of Oregon and Kittitas and 

Wahkiakum Counties in the State of 

Washington. 

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.

Families 

State Median Income Estimate for a 

Four-Person Family: Notice of the 

Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2011 State 

Median Income Estimates for Use 

Under the Low Income Home Energy 

Assistance Program (LIHEAP) (Catalog 

of Federal Domestic Assistance 

Number 93.568) Administered by the 

U.S. Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), Administration for 

Children and Families, Office of 

Community Services, Division of 

Energy Assistance 

AGENCY: Administration for Children 

and Families, Office of Community 

Services, Division of Energy Assistance, 

HHS. 

ACTION: Notice of State median income 

estimates for FFY 2011. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces to 

LIHEAP grantees the estimated median 

income of four-person families in each 

State and the District of Columbia for 

FFY 2011 (October 1, 2010, to 

September 30, 2011). LIHEAP grantees 

that choose to base their income 

eligibility criteria on these State median 

income estimates may adopt these 

estimates (up to 60 percent) on the 

estimates’ date of publication in the 

Federal Register or on a later date as 

discussed below. This enables these 

grantees to implement this notice during 

the period between the heating and 

cooling seasons. However, by October 1, 

2010, or the beginning of the grantees’ 

fiscal years, whichever is later, these 

grantees must adjust their income 

eligibility criteria so that such criteria 

are in accord with the FFY 2011 State 

median income estimates. 

This listing of 60 percent of estimated 

State median incomes provides one of 

the maximum income criteria that 

LIHEAP grantees may use in 

determining a household’s income 

eligibility for LIHEAP. 

DATES: Effective Date: For each LIHEAP 

grantee, these estimates become 

effective at any time between their date 

of publication in the Federal Register 

and the later of October 1, 2010, or the 

beginning of that grantee’s fiscal year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

provisions of section 2603(11) of Title 

XXVI of the Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act of 1981, Public Law 

(Pub. L.) 97–35, as amended, HHS 

announces the estimated median 

income of four-person families for each 

State, the District of Columbia, and the 

United States for FFY 2011 (October 1, 

2010, through September 30, 2011). 

Section 2605(b)(2)(B)(ii) of this Act 

provides that 60 percent of the median 

income for each State and the District of 

Columbia (State median income, or 

SMI), as annually established by the 

Secretary of Health and Human 

Services, is one of the income criteria 

that LIHEAP grantees may use in 

determining a household’s eligibility for 

LIHEAP. 

LIHEAP was last authorized by the 

Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 

109–58, which was enacted on August 

8, 2005. This authorization expired on 

September 30, 2007, and reauthorization 

remains pending. 

The SMI estimates that HHS 

publishes in this notice are three-year 

estimates derived from the American 

Community Survey (ACS) conducted by 

the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Census 

Bureau). HHS obtained these estimates 

directly from the Census Bureau. For 

additional information about the ACS 

State median income estimates, see 

http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/

income/medincsizeandstate.html. For 

additional information about the ACS in 

general, see http://www.census.gov/acs/ 

www/ or contact the Census Bureau’s 

Housing and Household Economic 

Statistics Division at (301) 763–3243. 

Under the advice of the Census 

Bureau, HHS switched to three-year 

estimates rather than single-year 

estimates to reduce the large year-toyear fluctuations that the single-year 

estimates tend to generate for certain 

States and the District of Columbia. The 

change from the single-year to threeyear estimates caused the FFY 2010 

estimates to drop by about two percent 

on average. HHS plans to use the Census 

Bureau’s ACS-derived SMI three-year 

estimates for all fiscal years after 2010. 

For further information about ACS oneyear and three-year estimates, 

see http://factfinder.census.gov/jsp/saff/
