terminate a grant agreement with any 

RVCP grantee that does not comply with 

the terms of the RVCP agreement. VA 

may recover from the grantee any funds 

that are not used in accordance with a 

RVCP grant agreement. If VA decides to 

recover funds, VA will issue to the 

grantee a notice of intent to recover 

RVCP grant funds, and the grantee will 

then have 30 days beginning from the 

date of the notice to submit 

documentation demonstrating why the 

RVCP grant funds should not be 

recovered. If the RVCP grantee does not 

respond or if the grantee responds but 

VA determines the documentation is 

insufficient to establish compliance, VA 

will make a final determination as to 

whether action to recover the RVCP 

grant funds will be taken. 

(b) Prohibition of further grants. When 

VA determines action will be taken to 

recover grant funds from a grantee, the 

grantee will be prohibited from 

receiving any further RVCP grant funds 

for the duration of the pilot program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 26, 2012, HHS/CDC 

published a Direct Final Rule (DFR) 

amending 42 CFR part 70 to update the 

Scope and Definitions for that part (77 

FR 75880). On the same date, HHS/CDC 

simultaneously published a companion 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 

that proposed identical updates to the 

Scope and Definitions (77 FR 75936). In 

both documents, HHS/CDC indicated 

that if we did not receive any significant 

adverse comments on the direct final 

rule by January 25, 2013, we would 

publish a document in the Federal 

Register withdrawing the NPRM and 

confirming the effective date of the 

direct final rule within 30 days after the 

end of the comment period. HHS/CDC 

received one public comment that was 

not a significant, adverse comment, but 

rather, was in support of the companion 

NPRM. Because HHS/CDC did not 

receive any significant adverse 

comments to the NPRM within the 

specified comment period, we have 

published a document to withdraw the 

NPRM in this issue of the Federal 

Register. Therefore, consistent with the 

Direct Final Rule, the amendments to 42 

CFR part 70 become effective on 

February 25, 2013 (77 FR 75880).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 26, 2012, HHS/CDC 

published a Direct Final Rule (DFR) 

amending 42 CFR part 71 to update the 

Scope and Definitions for that part (77 

FR 75885). On the same date, HHS/CDC 

simultaneously published a companion 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 

that proposed identical updates to the 

Scope and Definitions (77 FR 75939). In 

both documents, HHS/CDC indicated 

that if we did not receive any significant 

adverse comments on the direct final 

rule by January 25, 2013, we would 

publish a document in the Federal 

Register withdrawing the NPRM and 

confirming the effective date of the 

direct final rule within 30 days after the 

end of the comment period. HHS/CDC 

received two comments to the 

companion NPRM. One comment 

pertained to food safety that raised 

issues unrelated to the companion 

NPRM and appears to have been 

submitted in error. The second 

comment was a general comment on 

immigration and was outside the scope 

of this rulemaking. HHS/CDC did not 

consider this comment to be a 

significant, adverse comment because it 

did not raise any issues that were 

relevant to the subject matter under 

consideration. Because HHS/CDC did 

not receive any relevant significant 

adverse comments within the specified 

comment period, we have published a 

notice to withdrawal the NPRM in this 

issue of the Federal Register. Therefore, 

consistent with the Direct Final Rule the 

amendments to 42 CFR part 71 become 

effective on February 25, 2013 (77 FR 

75885).
