(b)Consultation with tribes On receipt of the report under subsection (a), the Secretary shall consult with Indian tribes regarding the contract health service program, including the distribution of funds pursuant to the program—
(1)to determine whether the current distribution formula would require modification if the contract health service program were funded at the level recommended by the Comptroller General;
(2)to identify any inequities in the current distribution formula under the current funding level or inequitable results for any Indian tribe under the funding level recommended by the Comptroller General;
(3)to identify any areas of program administration that may result in the inefficient or ineffective management of the program; and
(4)to identify any other issues and recommendations to improve the administration of the contract health services program and correct any unfair results or funding disparities identified under paragraph (2).
(c)Subsequent action by Secretary If, after consultation with Indian tribes under subsection (b), the Secretary determines that any issue described in subsection (b)(2) exists, the Secretary may initiate procedures under subchapter III of chapter 5 of title 5 to negotiate or promulgate regulations to establish a disbursement formula for the contract health service program funding.
