title: Cessation of services to terminated Utes--Indian Health Service. Notice.
abstract: The IHS is correcting a regional policy of providing services to descendants of terminated Utes. The regional practice of deeming descendants of terminated Utes eligible for IHS services has been determined to be contrary to the purpose of the Ute Termination Act 25 U.S.C. 677, as we interpret that Act, and therefore, descendants of such terminated Utes are outside the scope of authorized IHS services.
