**Supplemental Materials for *Book C***

**Code of Federal Regulations**

**Title 38, Part 4**

***Schedule for Rating Disabilities***

**Veterans Benefits Administration**

**Supplement No. 43**

5 May 2007

Covering the period of Federal Register issues

through May 4, 2007

When **Book C** was originally prepared, it was current through final
regulations published in the *Federal Register* of 24 March 1992. These
supple­mental materials are designed to keep your regulations up to date.
You should file the attached pages immediately, and record the fact that
you did so on the *Supplement Filing Record* which is at page C-8 of
Book C, *Schedule for Rating Disabilities*.

**To ensure accuracy and timeliness of your materials,**

**it is important that you follow these simple procedures:**

1\. Always file your supplemental materials immediately upon receipt.

2\. Before filing, always check the Supplement Filing Record (page C-8)
to be sure that all prior supplements have been filed. If you are
missing any supple­ments, contact the Veterans Benefits Administration at
the address listed on page C-2.

3\. After filing, enter the relevant information on the Supplement
Filing Record sheet (page C-8)---the date filed, name/initials of filer,
and date through which the *Federal Register* is covered.

4\. If as a result of a failure to file, or an undelivered supplement,
you have more than one supplement to file at a time, be certain to file
them in chronological order, lower number first.

5\. Always retain the filing instructions (simply insert them at the
back of the book) as a backup record of filing and for reference in case
of a filing error.

6\. Be certain that you *permanently discard* any pages indicated for
removal in the filing instructions in order to avoid confusion later.

To execute the filing instructions, simply remove *and throw away* the
pages listed under *Remove These Old Pages,* and replace them in each
case with the corres­pond­ing pages from this supplement listed under *Add
These New Pages*. Occasionally new pages will be added without removal
of any old material (reflecting new regulations), and occasionally old
pages will be removed with­out addition of any new material (reflecting
rescinded regulations)---in these cases the word *None* will appear in
the appropriate column.

> **HIGHLIGHTS**

**Book C, Supplement No. 43**

**May 5, 2007**

***Supplement* Highlights *references***: Where substantive changes are
made in the text of regulations, the paragraphs of *Highlights* sections
are cited at the end of the relevant section of text. Thus, if you are
reading §3.263, you will see a note at the end of that section which
reads: "Supplement *Highlights* references---6(2)." This means that
paragraph 2 of the *Highlights* section in Supplement No. 6 contains
information about the changes made in §3.263. By keeping and filing the
*Highlights* sections, you will have a reference source explaining all
substantive changes in the text of the regulations.

***Supplement frequency***: This Book C (*Schedule for Rating
Disabilities*) was originally supplemented four times a year, in
February, May, August, and November. Beginning 1 August 1995,
supplements will be issued *every month* during which a final rule
addition or modification is made to the parts of Title 38 covered by
this book. Supplements will be numbered consecutively as issued.

**Modifications in this supplement include the following:**

1\. On 5 April 2007, the VA published two corrections to the rule
revising Appendix A to Part 4 that was originally published on 20 March
2007 (72 Fed. Reg. 12983). The corrections affected entries under §4.71a
(Code 5264) and §4.130 (Code 9403).
