Abstract: In 1975, Congress enacted the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA) to authorize tribes and tribal organizations (T/TOs) to assume control of certain Federal programs, e.g., health care programs that Federal agencies would otherwise provide to American Indians and Alaska Natives. As originally enacted, the ISDEAA only authorized the Federal agencies to transfer the “Secretarial amount,” which is the amount the agency would have otherwise spent on the programs, functions, services, and activities (PFSAs) transferred to the T/TO in its ISDEAA agreement. In 1988, Congress amended the ISDEAA to authorize contract support costs (CSC) funding for the first time. CSC funding also is authorized only for reasonable, actual costs, and only to support the Federal PFSAs. Tribal governments and tribal organizations that intend to establish a new or expanded contract with Indian Health Service (IHS) are required to provide proposal information identified at §900.8 of the ISDEAA, which describes what a contract proposal must contain. This information is used by the IHS to determine applicant eligibility, evaluate applicant capabilities, protect the service population, and safeguard Federal funds and resources.
