Harper, Director, Office of Resource 

Access and Partnerships, Indian Health

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposed rule would amend Indian 

Health Service (IHS) Purchased and 

Referred Care, formally known as 

Contract Health Services, regulations to 

apply Medicare payment methodologies 

to all physician and other health care 

professional services and non-hospital 

based services that are either authorized 

under such regulations or purchased by 

urban Indian organizations. Specifically, 

it proposes that the health programs 

operated by IHS, Tribe, Tribal 

organization, or urban Indian 

organization will pay the lowest of the 

amount provided for under the 

applicable Medicare fee schedule, 

prospective payment system, or 

Medicare waiver; the amount negotiated 

by a repricing agent, if available; or the 

usual and customary billing rate. 

Repricing agents may be used to 

determine whether IHS may benefit 

from savings by utilizing negotiated 

rates offered through commercial health 

care networks. This proposed rule seeks 

comment on how to establish 

reimbursement that is consistent across 

Federal health care programs, aligns 

payment with inpatient services, and 

enables the IHS to expand beneficiary 

access to medical care. 

This comment period is being 

extended to allow all interested parties 

the opportunity to comment on the 

proposed rule. Therefore, we are 

extending the comment period until 

February 4, 2015. 

Dated: January 7, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS and 

the Council manage Pacific Island 

fisheries through fishery ecosystem 

plans (FEP) for American Samoa, the 

Mariana Archipelago (Guam and the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands (CNMI)), the Pacific Remote

western Pacific pelagic fisheries. 

Fishing regulations for the Pacific 

Islands are found mainly in 50 CFR part 

665. 

In 2009, President Bush issued 

Presidential Proclamations that 

established three Marine National 

Monuments in the Pacific Islands under 

the authority of the Antiquities Act: The 

Marianas Trench Marine National 

Monument (Proclamation 8335), the 

Pacific Remote Islands Marine National 

Monument (PRI Monument, 

Proclamation 8336), and the Rose Atoll 

Marine National Monument 

(Proclamation 8337). The Proclamations 

directed the Secretaries of the Interior 

and Commerce to take appropriate 

action pursuant to their respective 

authorities under the Antiquities Act, 

the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and such 

other authorities as may be available to 

implement the Proclamations, to 

regulate fisheries, including allowing for 

traditional indigenous fishing practices, 

and to ensure proper care and 

management of the monuments. 

In 2013, the Council incorporated the 

Proclamations’ fishery management 

provisions into its FEPs. With respect to 

the PRI Monument, the Council adopted 

Amendment 2 to the Fishery Ecosystem 

Plan for the Pacific Remote Island Areas
