Vocational Rehabilitation and 

Employment (VR&E) Program: Name 

Change 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) is issuing this final rule to 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 32 / Wednesday, February 16, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 8741 

amend the regulations pertaining to the 

name of the Vocational Rehabilitation 

and Employment program. VA provides 

benefits and services under the program 

name of ‘‘Vocational Rehabilitation and 

Employment.’’ VA is proposing to 

amend the name to ‘‘Veteran Readiness 

and Employment’’ (VR&E). VA further 

proposes that the references to the 

position of ‘‘Vocational Rehabilitation 

and Employment Officer’’ be amended 

to ‘‘Veteran Readiness and Employment 

Officer’’ and the position of ‘‘Director of 

Vocational Rehabilitation and 

Employment’’ be amended to 

‘‘Executive Director of Veteran 

Readiness and Employment’’. 

DATES: This rule is effective February 

16, 2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Allison Bernheimer, Policy Analyst, 

Veteran Readiness and Employment 

Services (28), 810 Vermont Avenue NW, 

Washington, DC 20420, 

allison.bernheimer@va.gov, (202) 461– 

9600. (This is not a toll-free telephone 

number.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

20, 2021, VA published a proposed rule 

in the Federal Register (86 FR 27340) 

which would amend its regulations that 

contain the program name Vocational 

Rehabilitation and Employment, the 

position title of Vocational 

Rehabilitation and Employment Officer 

and the position title of the Executive 

Director of Vocational Rehabilitation 

and Employment. VA provided a 60-day 

comment period, which ended on July 

19, 2021. We received no comments on 

the proposed rule. This rule adopts as 

a final rule, without changes, the 

proposed rule published in the Federal 

Register on May 20, 2021. Based on the 

rationale set forth in the notice of 

proposed rulemaking and in this 

document, VA adopts the proposed rule 

as a final rule. 

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. The Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs has 

determined that this rule is not a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. The Regulatory 

Impact Analysis associated with this 

rulemaking can be found as a 

supporting document at 

www.regulations.gov. 

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). The factual basis for 

this certification is based on this 

rulemaking does not change VA’s policy 

regarding small businesses, does not 

have an economic impact to individual 

businesses, and there is no increased or 

decreased costs to small business 

entities. Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

605(b), the initial and final regulatory 

flexibility analysis requirements of 5 

U.S.C. 603 and 604 do not apply. 

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 (PRA) 

This final rule contains no provisions 

constituting a collection of information 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521). 

Assistance Listing 

The Assistance Listing numbers and 

titles for the programs affected by this 

document are 64.116, Vocational 

Rehabilitation for Disabled Veterans; 

64.125, Vocational and Educational 

Counseling for Servicemembers and 

Veterans; 64.128, Vocational Training 

and Rehabilitation for Vietnam 

Veterans’ Children with Spina Bifida or 

Other Covered Birth Defects. 

Congressional Review Act 

Pursuant to Subtitle E of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (known as the 

Congressional Review Act) (5 U.S.C. 801 

et seq.), the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs designated this rule 

as not a major rule, as defined by 5 

U.S.C. 804(2).
