fiscal year 2004, less the administrative 

costs incurred by VA in processing and 

paying the allowance in lieu of the 

Government-furnished graveliner. 

The average cost of Governmentfurnished graveliners is determined by 

taking VA’s total cost during a fiscal 

year for single-depth graveliners that 

were procured for placement at the time 

of interment and dividing it by the total 

number of such graveliners procured by 

VA during that fiscal year. The 

calculation excludes both graveliners 

procured and pre-placed in gravesites as 

part of cemetery gravesite development 

projects and all double-depth 

graveliners. Using this method of 

computation, the average cost was 

determined to be $171.77 for fiscal year 

2004. 

The administrative costs incurred by 

VA consist of those costs that relate to 

processing and paying an allowance in 

lieu of the Government-furnished 

graveliner. These costs have been 

determined to be $9.75 for calendar year 

2005. 

The net allowance payable for 

qualifying interments occurring during 

calendar year 2005, therefore, is 

$162.02.

Approved: December 17, 2004.
