INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE CIRCULAR NO. 2013-01
Effective Date:  March 21, 2013

ERRATA NOTICE FOR THE INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE SPECIAL GENERAL
MEMORANDUM "POLICY DECISIONS FOR SELF-GOVERNANCE/SELF-
DETERMINATION DEMONSTRATION PROJECT NEGOTIATIONS"

This circular rescinds the Indian Health Service (IHS) Special General Memorandum (SGM) No. 95-02, "Policy Decisions for Self-Governance/Self-Determination Demonstration Project Negotiations," dated April 19, 1995.  The major reasons for rescinding this SGM include:

  1. The information contained in the SGM and its attachments is outdated.  It was issued before the existence of Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act Title V and associated regulations.
  2. The "Headquarters Communications Staff" is no longer a group.
  3. The term "general pool" is not defined by a budget line item and may be interpreted as allowing the Tribal Size Adjustment Formula to be applied to the wrong budget line items.

Please discard your binder copies and any file copies of the SGM at your earliest convenience.
