DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS 

AFFAIRS 

38 CFR Part 3 

RIN 2900–AP33 

Technical Corrections 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) amends its regulations to 

remove out-of-date legal citations and 

add the correct authority. This 

rulemaking contains only 

nonsubstantive, technical changes. 

DATES: This rule is effective April 3, 

2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Michael Rasmussen, Consultant, 

Regulations Staff (211D), Compensation 

Service, Department of Veterans Affairs, 

810 Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20420, (202) 461–9700. (This is not 

a toll-free telephone number.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 2, 2005, VA published a final 

rule removing 38 CFR 3.5(e) and adding 

38 CFR 3.10. 70 FR 72211. Section 

3.10(e)(3) regards payment information 

for surviving spouses in receipt of 

Dependency and Indemnity 

Compensation (DIC) and clearly 

contains an erroneous cross reference to 

§ 3.351(f), which regards death pension. 

Therefore, VA is correcting this 

technical error by removing the cross 

reference to § 3.351(f) and adding, in its 

place, a cross reference to § 3.351(e), the 

paragraph regarding DIC. 

On September 30, 1997, VA published 

a final rule redesignating 38 CFR 

3.105(h) as § 3.105(i). 62 FR 51274. 

However, VA failed to update the cross 

reference to § 3.105(h)(1) in 38 CFR 

3.655(c)(4). Therefore, VA is correcting 

the cross reference in § 3.655(c)(4) to 

correctly refer to § 3.105(i)(1). 

Lastly, on December 29, 2006, VA 

published a final rule redesignating 38 

CFR 3.1000(a)(4) as § 3.1000(a)(5) and 

adding a new paragraph § 3.1000(a)(4). 

71 FR 78368. However, VA failed to 

update the cross references to 

§ 3.1000(a)(4) in §§ 3.1000(b)(3), (c)(1), 

and (f) and 3.1003(a). Therefore, VA is 

correcting the above-noted sections to 

correctly refer to § 3.1000(a)(5). 

Administrative Procedure Act 

Pursuant to the Administrative 

Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), VA 

has determined that prior notice and 

opportunity for comment on this 

rulemaking are unnecessary. This final 

rule consists of nonsubstantive, 

technical changes that merely amend 

VA’s regulations to reflect the correct 

legal citations. For this reason, VA has 

also determined that there is good cause 

to waive the 30-day delayed effective 

date requirement under 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3). 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess the costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, when regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, and other advantages; 

distributive impacts; and equity). 

Executive Order 13563 (Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review) 

emphasizes the importance of 

quantifying both costs and benefits, 

reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and 

promoting flexibility. Executive Order 

12866 (Regulatory Planning and 

Review) defines a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ requiring review by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), unless OMB waives such 

review, as ‘‘any regulatory action that is 

likely to result in a rule that may: (1) 

Have an annual effect on the economy 

of $100 million or more or adversely 

affect in a material way the economy, a 

sector of the economy, productivity, 

competition, jobs, the environment, 

public health or safety, or State, local, 

or tribal governments or communities; 

(2) Create a serious inconsistency or 

otherwise interfere with an action taken 

or planned by another agency; (3) 

Materially alter the budgetary impact of 

entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan 

programs or the rights and obligations of 

recipients thereof; or (4) Raise novel 

legal or policy issues arising out of legal 

mandates, the President’s priorities, or 

the principles set forth in this Executive 

Order.’’ 

The economic, interagency, 

budgetary, legal, and policy 

implications of this regulatory action 

have been examined, and it has been 

determined not to be a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866. VA’s impact analysis can be 

found as a supporting document at 

http://www.regulations.gov, usually 

within 48 hours after the rulemaking 

document is published. Additionally, a 

copy of this rulemaking and its impact 

analysis are available on VA’s Web site 

at http://www.va.gov/orpm/, by 

following the link for VA Regulations 

Published from FY 2004 through Fiscal 

Year to Date. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Secretary hereby certifies that 

this final rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities as they are 

defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601–612). This final rule will 

directly affect only individuals and will 

not directly affect small entities. 

Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), 

this rulemaking is exempt from the final 

regulatory flexibility analysis 

requirements of section 604. 

Unfunded Mandates 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 1532, that 

agencies prepare an assessment of 

anticipated costs and benefits before 

issuing any rule that may result in the 

expenditure by State, local, and tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

(adjusted annually for inflation) in any 

one year. This final rule will have no 

such effect on State, local, and tribal 

governments, or on the private sector. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This final rule contains no provisions 

constituting a collection of information 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521). 

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance

Assistance numbers and titles for the
