Prior to returning the engine to service,

replace any temperature indicator that has

turned black and inspect in accordance with

paragraphs (a)(2) and (a)(3) of this AD.

(b) For aircraft installations utilizing one P/

N 810486 indicator or one set of P/N 809129

and 809130 indicators, and inspection

reveals a missing indicator, inspect the

remaining temperature indicator, if

applicable, to determine if the indicator

window has turned completely black. If the

indicator window has turned completely

black, perform troubleshooting and

diagnostic testing, and corrective action as

required, in accordance with paragraph (a)(3)

of this AD. If the indicator window has not

turned completely black or if there are no

additional indicators installed, then install a

new indicator in accordance with Section

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Regulatory Flexibility Act (‘‘RFA’’) (Pub.

L. No. 96–354, 94 Stat. 1165)

(September 19, 1980) requires that each

agency review every ten years each of its

rules that has a significant economic

impact upon a substantial number of

small entities. The purpose of the

review is ‘‘to determine whether such

rules should be continued without

change, or should be amended or

rescinded * * * to minimize any

significant economic impact of the rules

upon a substantial number of small

entities’’ (5 U.S.C. 610(a)).

The RFA stipulates the following

specific considerations that must be
1302 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 6 / Thursday, January 9, 1997 / Proposed Rules

addressed in the review of each rule: (1)

the continued need for the rule; (2) the

nature of complaints or comments

received concerning the rule from the

public; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4)

the extent to which the rule overlaps,

duplicates or conflicts with other

Federal rules, and, to the extent feasible,

with State and local governmental rules;

and (5) the length of time since the rule

has been evaluated or the degree to

which technology, economic conditions,

or other factors have changed in the area

affected by the rule (5 U.S.C. 610(c)).

Pursuant to the RFA, the rules and

forms listed below are scheduled for

review by staff of the Commission

during the next twelve months. The

rules are grouped according to which

Division or Office of the Commission

has responsibility for, and will review,

each rule.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS

AFFAIRS

38 CFR Part 21

RIN 2900–AI45

Survivors and Dependents Education:

Extension of Eligibility Period

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: This document proposes to

amend the educational assistance and

educational benefit regulations of the

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It

restores provisions that govern the

extension of the period eligible spouses

and surviving spouses have to use

Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational

Assistance (DEA). These provisions

previously were removed by error. Also,

this document requests Paperwork

Reduction Act comments concerning

the requirement that a spouse or

surviving spouse must apply for the

extension.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before March 10, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Mail or hand deliver written

comments to: Director, Office of

Regulations Management (02D),

Department of Veterans Affairs, 810

Vermont Ave., NW, Room 1154,

Washington, DC 20420. Comments

should indicate that they are submitted

in response to ‘‘RIN 2900–AI45’’. All

written comments will be available for

public inspection in the Office of

Regulations Management, Room 1158,

between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30

p.m., Monday through Friday (except

holidays).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: June

C. Schaeffer, Assistant Director for

Policy and Program Administration,

Education Service, Veterans Benefits

Administration, 202–273–7187.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a

document published in the Federal

Register on May 24, 1996 (61 FR 26107),

VA published a final rule removing

many regulatory provisions. As

explained in that document, many of

the provisions were removed because

they contained ‘‘sunsetted’’ provisions

authorized by the Vietnam Era GI Bill.

No benefits can be paid under the

Vietnam Era GI Bill for training that

occurred after December 31, 1989.

Among those provisions that were

removed was § 21.1043. This section

provided that if a veteran training under

the Vietnam Era GI Bill could not

complete a program of education within

the ten-year period due to a physical or

mental disability that is not the result of

willful misconduct, that period (the

delimiting period) could be extended.

A similar extension is authorized by

statute for eligible spouses and

surviving spouses under DEA.

Unfortunately, by removing § 21.1043,

VA inadvertently removed the

provisions that governed whether such

a spouse or surviving spouse could

receive an extension of the delimiting

period, since § 21.3046(e) states that the

provisions of § 21.1043 are to be used to

determine whether the extension should

be granted.

To correct this error, VA would

restate the provisions of the former

§ 21.1043 in the appropriate places in

part 21, subpart C, since that subpart

governs DEA claims. The definition

formerly contained in § 21.1043 would

be restated in § 21.3021. The remainder

of § 21.1043 would be restated in a new

section, § 21.3047. References would be

updated and some minor changes would

be made for clarification. There would

be no substantive changes.

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act

of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the

provisions of the proposed 38 CFR

21.3047 would include a collection of

information. Accordingly, as required

by the Act at section 3507(d), VA has

submitted a copy of this rulemaking

action to the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) for its review of the

collection of information.

OMB assigns a control number for

each collection of information it

approves. VA may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to, a collection of information

unless it displays a currently valid OMB

control number.

Comments on the proposed collection

of information should be submitted to

the Office of Management and Budget,

Attention: Desk Officer for the

Department of Veterans Affairs, Office

of Information and Regulatory Affairs,

Washington, DC 20503, with copies

mailed or hand-delivered to: Director,

Office of Regulations Management

(02D), Department of Veterans Affairs,

810 Vermont Ave., NW, Room 1154,

Washington, DC 20420. Comments

should indicate that they are submitted

in response to ‘‘RIN 2900–AI45’’.

Title: Application for an Extension of

Eligibility Period under Survivors’ and

Dependents’ Educational Assistance.

Summary of collection of information:

The collection of information in the

proposed § 21.3047 implements a

statutory provision that requires that an

individual who wishes to receive a

benefit must apply for it.

Description of need for information

and proposed use of information: A

spouse or surviving spouse under DEA

may qualify for an extension of her or

his eligibility period if training during

that period was medically infeasible.

VA needs an application for this

extension in order to learn who wants

the extension. VA may need medical

evidence in order to determine if

training was medically infeasible and to

determine the time when training

became medically feasible.

Description of likely respondents:

Eligible spouses and surviving spouses

who would like an extension of the

delimiting period under DEA.

Estimated number of respondents:

100.

Estimated frequency of responses:

Once.

Estimated total annual reporting and

recordkeeping burden: 100 hours of

reporting burden. VA does not believe

that there will be an additional

recordkeeping burden.

Estimated average burden per

collection: 60 minutes.

The Department considers comments

by the public on proposed collections of

information in—

• Evaluating whether the proposed

collections of information are necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the Department, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

• Evaluating the accuracy of the

Department’s estimate of the burden of
