17         (ee)  To implement a plan to establish up to four small
18  or specialty provider service networks in the pilot area. The
19  agency shall establish criteria and set standards for the
20  provider service networks and under certain conditions may
21  provide start-up funding, technical assistance for the
22  development and start up of grassroots organizations that seek
23  to become provider service networks, a guarantee of state

27  specialty provider service networks shall be approved for the

29  affected subgroups, improving minority access networks, and
