Geographic composition of the Health Service Delivery Areas (HSDA) established by regulations of the Indian Health Service--PHS. Notice.
On September 16, 1987, a final rule establishing new eligibility criteria for Indian Health Service [IHS] programs was published in the Federal Register. In the fiscal year 1988 Appropriations Act [section 315, Pub. L. 100-202], the Congress delayed implementation of the regulations from March 16, 1988, to September 16, 1988. Congressional delay to further study the impact of the regulation is possible. This list will help define the parameters of such a study. This designation of HSDA is not effective until September 16, 1988, or such later date as may be established by the Congress.
