Redesignation; Iowa Health Service Area No. 1--Health Resources Administration. Proposed redesignation.
This notice announces the Secretary's proposal to revise Iowa Health Service Area No. 1. The Governor of Iowa requested that Iowa Health Service Area No. 1, served by Iowa Health Systems Agency, be revised to include the Iowa counties of Harrison, Shelby, Pottawattamie, Mills, Montgomery, Adams, Fremont, Page, and Taylor. These nine counties had been included in Nebraska Health Service Area No. 3, served by the Health Planning Council of the Midlands, Inc. The nine counties are currently not included in any health service area or served by any health systems agency because the Governor of Nebraska requested and received a Section 1536 designation for his State. Such a designation precludes the Secretary from establishing any health service areas and designating any health systems agencies in a State. As a result, the designation agreement of the Health Planning Council of the Midlands, Inc., was not renewed at the end of its grant year, and the nine counties in Iowa are therefore not included in any health service area.
