Guidelines for Furnishing Sensorineural Aids (e.g., Eyeglasses, Contact

Lenses, Hearing Aids)

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document affirms the

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)

medical regulations concerning when

VA will furnish veterans with sensorineural aids (e.g., eyeglasses, contact

lenses, hearing aids), which implement

a requirement imposed in the Veteran’s

Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of

1996, Public Law 104–262.

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is

effective December 9, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 3,

1997, VA published in the Federal

Register an interim final rule with

request for comments (62 FR 30240).

This added a new section (17.149, 38

CFR part 17). A 60-day comment period

ended August 4, 1997, and one

comment was received. However, that

comment dealt with resources rather

than substantive content of the interim

final rule.

Based on the rationale set forth in the

interim final rule document, we are

adopting the provisions of the interim

final rule as a final rule without change.

This final rule also affirms the

information in the interim final rule

document concerning the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Approved: December 1, 1997.

Hershel W. Gober,

Acting Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
