DroneXL (December 24, 2023), https://

dronexl.co/2023/12/24/autel-roboticsdrone-no-fly-zones-conflict/). If abused 

by a malicious actor, pushed updates 

like this could open users up to the risk 

of newly defined and restricted ‘‘zones’’ 

that could affect the use and control of 

their UAS. A foreign adversary could 

exploit firmware updates of this type by 

exercising influence or control over a 

UAS service provider and instructing 

them to push a certain update. 

BIS seeks to better understand how 

UAS OEMs may impact UAS 

functionality through their incorporated 

ICTS components. In particular, the 

ANPRM seeks further comment on the 

following topics but encourages the 

submission of any comments that are 

germane to the issues discussed in this 

ANPRM: 

41. In what instances, and how, 

would OEMs be able to terminate 

functionality of a UAS (i.e., denial of 

service)? 

a. What are the standards and best 

practices governing the ability of OEMs 

to terminate functionality of a UAS? 

b. Are there instances in which a third 

party or a subcomponent maker (e.g., a 

maker of sensors) could remotely deny 

service to and fully or partially 

terminate functionality of a UAS or its 

respective sensor or component 

independently of the OEM? 

c. Once service is denied or 

functionality is terminated, what are the 

standards and best practices for 

reinstating full operability? 

d. Are there instances in which a UAS 

and its subcomponents can use any 

inherent connectivity they possess to 

connect to other devices, the cloud, or 

connected software applications online 

but be insulated against denial-ofservice updates or patches by the OEM? 

f. Mitigations and Authorizations 

In addition to the topics discussed 

above, this ANPRM seeks comment on 

processes and mechanisms that BIS 

could implement in a potential rule to 

authorize otherwise prohibited ICTS 

transactions if the parties to such 

transactions adopt certain mitigation 

measures or otherwise mitigate the 

undue and unacceptable risks to U.S. 

national security, including U.S. ICTS 

supply chains and critical 

infrastructure, or to the safety and 

security of U.S. persons. In particular, 

the ANPRM seeks further comment on 

the following topics but encourages the 

submission of any comments that are 

germane to the issues discussed in this 

ANPRM: 

42. Are there instances in which 

granting a temporary authorization to 

engage in otherwise prohibited UAS 

ICTS transactions would be necessary to 

avoid supply chain disruptions or other 

unintended consequences and in the 

interest of the United States? 

43. Which, if any, categories or 

classifications of end users should BIS 

consider excluding from any 

prohibitions on transactions involving 

foreign adversary ICTS integral to UAS 

because transactions involving such end 

users would not pose an undue or 

unacceptable risk? 

44. For what categories of ICTS 

transactions relating to UAS should BIS 

require a specific authorization before 

the transaction is permitted in the 

United States? 

45. Please comment on potential 

requirements for authorizations and 

certifications for industry participants 

(e.g., assemblers, manufacturers, 

dealers, sellers) filed electronically with 

BIS. 

46. What certification or validation 

process should be implemented in order 

to validate mitigation actions taken? 

Should third-party testing and 

evaluation occur, and at what stage in 

the process should this testing and 

evaluation occur in order to validate 

mitigation actions? 

g. Economic Impact 

BIS is mindful that any regulation of 

transactions involving foreign adversary 

ICTS integral to UAS could have 

significant economic impacts on sectors 

that have incorporated this technology 

into their processes and may rely on 

UAS. For example, BIS recognizes 

regulations on these transactions could 

pose supply chain obstacles that could 

affect UAS and UAS component prices. 

BIS is concerned, however, about the 

short-term and long-term consequences 

of UAS and UAS supply chain abuse by 

foreign adversaries. Accordingly, this 

ANPRM seeks further comment on the 

following topics but encourages the 

submission of any comments that are 

germane to the issues discussed in this 

ANPRM: 

47. What, if any, anticompetitive 

effects may result from regulation of 

transactions involving foreign adversary 

ICTS integral to UAS as contemplated 

by this ANPRM? And what, if anything, 

can be done to mitigate the 

anticompetitive effects? 

48. What data privacy and protection 

impacts to U.S. businesses or the public, 

if any, might be associated with the 

regulation of transactions involving 

foreign adversary ICTS integral to UAS 

contemplated in this ANPRM? What are 

the benefits and costs, if any, of these 

impacts? 

49. What additional economic 

impacts to U.S. businesses or the public, 

if any, might be associated with the 

regulation of transactions involving 

foreign adversary ICTS integral to UAS 

contemplated by this ANPRM? 

a. If responding from outside the 

United States, what economic impacts 

to local businesses and the public, if 

any, might be associated with 

regulations of transactions involving 

foreign adversary ICTS integral to UAS 

in the United States? 

50. What actions can BIS take, or 

provisions could it add to any proposed 

regulations, to minimize potential costs 

borne by U.S. businesses or the public? 

a. If responding from outside the 

United States, what actions can BIS 

take, or what provisions could it add to 

any proposed regulations, to minimize 

potential costs borne by local businesses 

or the public?

Exempting Whole Health Well-Being 

Services From Copayment 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs 

ACTION: Proposed rule 

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) proposes to revise its 

medical regulations to exempt Whole 

Health well-being services from the 

copayment requirements for inpatient 

hospital care and outpatient medical 

care. These Whole Health well-being 

services, which consist of Whole Health 

education and skill-building programs 

and complementary and integrative 

health well-being services, are provided 

to Veterans within the VA Whole Health 

System of Care to improve Veterans’ 

overall health and well-being. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 4, 2025. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted through www.regulations.gov. 

Except as provided herein, comments 

received before the close of the 

comment period will be available at 

www.regulations.gov for public viewing, 

inspection, or copying, including any

not be considered in the final 

rulemaking. In accordance with the 

Providing Accountability Through 

Transparency Act of 2023, a plain 

language summary (not more than 100 

words in length) of this proposed rule 

is available at www.regulations.gov, 

under RIN 2900–AS23. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kavitha Reddy, Associate Director, 

Employee Whole Health, Veterans 

Health Administration, Department of 

Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue 

NW, Washington, DC 20420, 314–312–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority 

Section 1710 of title 38 United States 

Code (U.S.C.) requires VA to furnish 

hospital care and medical services that 

VA determines to be needed for eligible 

Veterans. Section 1701(6) defines 

medical services as examination, 

treatment, and rehabilitative services, as 

well as other specifically listed services. 

VA implemented the statutory 

requirements through 38 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) 17.38, 

frequently referred to as the Medical 

Benefits Package. Under section 

1710(g)(1), VA may not furnish medical 

services to certain Veterans unless the 

Veteran agrees to pay ‘‘the applicable 

amount or amounts established by the 

Secretary [of VA] by regulation.’’ VA has 

interpreted section 1710(g)(1) to mean 

that VA may establish in regulation the 

amount of a copayment, even if that 

amount is zero, meaning that VA 

effectively has the authority to exempt 

certain care from copayment 

requirements. VA has set forth 

copayment requirements for inpatient 

hospital care, outpatient medical care, 

and urgent care in 38 CFR 17.108. 

Generally, 38 CFR 17.108 sets forth 

requirements regarding copayments for 

inpatient hospital care and outpatient 

medical care provided to Veterans by 

VA. 38 CFR 17.108(b) and (c). Services 

not subject to copayments are listed in 

38 CFR 17.108(e). VA has long 

acknowledged that copayments can 

deter Veterans from obtaining certain 

services and be a barrier to participation 

in a program promoted by VA. 

Therefore, to encourage Veterans to 

become more actively involved in their 

medical care, thereby improving health 

care outcomes and, in turn, lowering 

overall health care costs, VA has 

exempted certain services from the 

copayment requirements. There are 

currently multiple copayment 

exemptions listed in § 17.108(e) such as 

weight management counseling and 

publicly announced VA public health 

initiatives (for example, health fairs) or 

outpatient visits solely consisting of 

preventative screening and 

immunizations to encourage such 

behavior. In this rulemaking, VA 

proposes to add an additional 

copayment exemption for Whole Health 

well-being services to encourage 

Veterans to be more actively involved in 

their health care and further use these 

important services. 

Whole Health Well-Being Services and 

the Whole Health System of Care 

Whole Health well-being services, 

which are services that focus on the 

overall well-being of the Veteran 

independent of treatment for a specific 

medical condition or diagnosis, are an 

important aspect of the Whole Health 

System of Care. The Whole Health 

System of Care is care that supports the 

Veteran’s health and well-being in line 

with what matters most to the Veteran. 

The Whole Health System of Care 

engages and empowers Veterans to 

prioritize a healthy lifestyle—including 

mental, emotional, functional, spiritual, 

social, and community aspects— 

equipping them to take charge of their 

health and well-being by addressing 

lifestyle and environmental root causes 

of chronic disease. This approach has 

improved Veterans’ perceptions of 

health care, increased their engagement 

in health care and self-care, and 

improved their life’s meaning and 

purpose. 

One component of the Whole Health 

System of Care focuses on the overall 

well-being of the Veteran that is 

independent of treatment of a specific 

medical condition or diagnosis to equip 

each Veteran to better manage their own 

health. The well-being component 

includes various services that are 

centered around what matters most to 

the Veteran and their health and wellbeing goals. Whole Health well-being 

services are provided to Veterans 

alongside conventional health care to 

promote, preserve, and restore health. 

All Whole Health well-being services 

provided by VA are in line with 

accepted standards of medical practice, 

serve to increase Veterans’ access to 

care, and currently are authorized and 

provided to Veterans as part of the 

medical benefits package under 38 CFR 

17.38. Whole Health well-being services 

include Whole Health education and 

skill-building programs and 

complementary and integrative health 

well-being services, both of which are 

discussed in further detail herein. 

VA determined it is necessary to 

exempt these Whole Health well-being 

services from copayment to remove a 

barrier that may discourage Veterans 

from proactively engaging in the Whole 

Health System of Care and to further 

encourage Veterans to better manage 

their health and improve their overall 

well-being. Whole Health well-being 

services do not generally require the 

expertise of a licensed clinical provider 

or specialty care provider as these 

approaches are not used for treatment of 

a specific condition or diagnosis but 

rather to support health and overall 

well-being. A Veteran’s participation in 

Whole Health well-being services can 

initiate a cascade of health benefits that 

result from a Veteran’s conscious, 

committed participation in promoting, 

restoring, and preserving the Veteran’s 

own health. Exempting Whole Health 

well-being services would encourage 

Veterans to proactively take advantage 

of well-being services to improve their 

overall well-being. 

Copayment Exemption for Whole 

Health Well-Being Services 

In this rulemaking, we propose to 

amend 38 CFR 17.108 by adding new 

paragraph (e)(20) to exempt Whole 

Health well-being services from 

copayment requirements. New 

paragraph (e)(20) of section 17.108 

would provide that ‘‘the following 

Whole Health well-being services’’ 

would be exempt from copayment 

requirements. As mentioned previously, 

Whole Health well-being services 

consist of Whole Health education and 

skill-building programs as well as 

complementary and integrative health 

well-being services. Proposed 

paragraphs (e)(20)(i) and (ii) would then 

describe these two categories of wellbeing services that would be exempt 

from copayment. 

In addition, we would make two 

minor technical edits to maintain proper 

punctuation throughout the list of 

copayment exempt services in 

§ 17.108(e). We would remove ‘‘and’’ at 

the end of current paragraph (17); we 

would remove the period at the end of 

paragraph (18) and in its place insert a 

semicolon; and we would remove the 

period at the end of paragraph (19) and 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 2 / Friday, January 3, 2025 / Proposed Rules 281 

in its place insert a semicolon followed 

by ‘‘and.’’ These changes would ensure 

that new paragraph (20) would properly 

complete the list of currently exempt 

services in § 17.108(e). 

Whole Health Education and SkillBuilding Programs 

Proposed § 17.108(e)(20)(i) would 

describe ‘‘Whole Health education and 

skill-building programs.’’ Whole Health 

education and skill-building programs 

would be defined as the services that 

educate, instruct, and empower 

Veterans to understand and implement 

the principles and practices of Whole 

Health. VA would use this definition for 

Whole Health education and skillbuilding programs because it would 

succinctly describe this category of 

Whole Health-focused programs and 

would be consistent with how Whole 

Health education and skill-building 

programs are provided to Veterans 

within VA. Whole Health education and 

skill-building programs have a Whole 

Health-focused curriculum, contribute 

to the overall well-being of the Veteran, 

and may be offered individually or in a 

group setting. Whole Health education 

and skill-building programs generally 

address Whole Health principles, 

promote well-being approaches, and 

focus on helping a Veteran meet their 

health and well-being goals. Such 

programs are developed in partnership 

with the Veterans Health 

Administration Office of Patient 

Centered Care and Cultural 

Transformation. 

The following sentence would then 

provide a non-exhaustive list of the 

categories of programs that would be 

included as Whole Health education 

and skill-building programs. The list 

would include Whole Health coaching, 

Whole Health partner sessions, and 

Whole Health education and skillbuilding courses. The list of these 

categories of programs would be 

consistent with how Whole Health 

education and skill-building programs 

currently are provided to Veterans 

within VA. VA believes that a nonexhaustive list would be most beneficial 

because these categories would 

adequately capture any approved Whole 

Health education and skill-building 

programs available within the Whole 

Health System of Care. However, as the 

VA Whole Health System of Care 

becomes more firmly established as the 

model for how VA provides health care, 

VA is developing, improving, and 

expanding Whole Health education and 

skill-building programs continuously 

with an openness to innovation and 

iterative improvement based on Veteran 

feedback and evidence. Therefore, a 

non-exhaustive list would provide VA 

with the flexibility it needs to continue 

to provide Whole Health education and 

skill-building programs that meet the 

needs of Veterans and improve 

Veterans’ overall well-being. 

Whole Health coaching is a Veterancentered process that facilitates and 

empowers Veterans to develop and 

achieve their self-determined health and 

well-being goals. In Whole Health 

coaching, the coach supports Veterans 

in mobilizing their internal strengths 

and external resources to develop 

strategies for making sustainable, 

healthy lifestyle behavior changes that 

support improved health and wellbeing. Whole Health coaching includes 

connecting health and well-being goals 

to what matters most to the Veteran and 

following up on actions needed to 

achieve these values-based goals. Whole 

Health coaches work in close 

collaboration with interdisciplinary staff 

and teams throughout VA medical 

facilities to enhance well-being and 

assist with management of chronic 

disease. This type of interprofessional, 

team-based care is important for high 

quality, Veteran-centered Whole Health 

care. 

In Whole Health partnering, a Whole 

Health partner facilitates individual and 

group sessions where Veterans learn 

about the Whole Health approach and 

identify their meaning and purpose. 

They work in collaboration with staff 

and teams, further supporting 

interprofessional, team-based delivery 

of health care. Veterans then can reflect 

on their personal well-being and create 

health and well-being goals centered 

around what matters most to them for 

their quality of life. Whole Health 

partners welcome Veterans into the 

Whole Health System of Care, have 

knowledge of internal and external 

Whole Health System of Care resources, 

help Veterans navigate the Whole 

Health System of Care, and connect 

Veterans to the best options to support 

their overall health and well-being. 

Whole Health partners‘ often conduct 

introductory sessions to orient Veterans 

to Whole Health and assist them in 

filling out elements of their personal 

health plan. 

Whole Health education and skillbuilding courses are courses that 

generally address Whole Health 

principles, promote well-being 

approaches, and focus on helping the 

Veteran meet health and well-being 

goals. Current offerings within VA 

provide education on the concept of 

Whole Health, Whole Health coaching, 

Whole Health partnering, and how 

Veterans can take charge of their life 

and health. 

Complementary and Integrative Health 

Well-Being Services 

Proposed § 17.108(e)(20)(ii) would 

describe the complementary and 

integrative health well-being services 

that would be exempt from copayment 

requirements. Like proposed paragraph 

(i), proposed paragraph (ii) would first 

define complementary and integrative 

health well-being services. 

Complementary and integrative health 

well-being services would be defined as 

the services that promote health, wellbeing, and self-care independent of 

treatment of a specific medical 

condition or diagnosis. In general, 

complementary and integrative health 

services are a group of diverse services 

and practices not broadly considered to 

be part of conventional health care, but 

often used in conjunction with 

conventional health care. 

Complementary and integrative health 

services are used in the Whole Health 

System of Care as they place importance 

on the relationship between the 

practitioner and patient and focus on 

the whole person. 

The following sentence then would 

provide a non-exhaustive list of the 

types of services that would be included 

as complementary and integrative 

health well-being services. The services 

would be guided imagery, meditation, 

Tai Chi/Qigong, and yoga for well-being, 

which would be consistent with how 

complementary and integrative health 

well-being services currently are 

provided within VA. We believe listing 

these types of services in regulation 

would adequately capture the current 

complementary and integrative health 

well-being services available within the 

Whole Health System of Care. Like 

Whole Health education and skillbuilding programs in proposed 

paragraph (i), we would use a nonexhaustive list to provide flexibility to 

VA to continue to evaluate the efficacy 

of additional complementary and 

integrative health well-being approaches 

that would meet the needs of Veterans 

and improve Veterans’ overall wellbeing. 

Guided imagery is the practice of 

using a series of multi-sensory images 

designed to trigger specific changes in 

an individual’s physiology, emotions, or 

mental state for the purpose of 

increasing an individual’s healing 

response or causing unconscious 

change. Guided imagery may be 

performed by a complementary and 

integrative health provider in an 

individual or group clinical setting. 

Meditation is the defined practice or 

technique (often arising from a 

contemplative tradition) that primarily 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
282 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 2 / Friday, January 3, 2025 / Proposed Rules 

focuses on training an individual’s 

attention regulation processes with the 

intent of cultivating general mental 

well-being and/or specific capacities 

such as concentration, compassion, or 

insight. The focus of meditation is on 

training attentional processes rather 

than specifically targeting a change in 

mental content. 

Tai Chi is the mind-body exercise 

rooted in the Asian traditions of martial 

arts, Chinese medicine, and philosophy 

that combines slow-flowing intentional 

movements with breathing, awareness, 

and visualization. Tai Chi enhances 

relaxation, vitality, focus, posture, 

balance, strength, flexibility, and mood. 

Qigong is the ancient Chinese healing 

art (like Tai Chi) with a focus on 

cultivating the body’s vital energy or 

‘‘qi.’’ Qigong involves the coordination 

of breath, posture, awareness, 

visualization, and focused movements 

and may be practiced as a stationary or 

moving meditation. 

Yoga is the mind-body practice rooted 

in ancient Indian philosophy that 

typically combines physical postures, 

breathing techniques, meditation or 

relaxation, and discussion on 

applications to daily life. There are 

many different yoga styles ranging from 

gentle to physically demanding 

practices. Yoga for well-being is the 

practice of yoga to advance an 

individual’s general sense of well-being. 

Yoga for well-being is often practiced in 

a group setting and focuses on general 

health, stress reduction, fitness, and/or 

community. 

Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and 

14094 

Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory 

Planning and Review; September 30, 

1993) directs 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; 

January 18, 2011) emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, reducing costs, 

harmonizing rules, and promoting 

flexibility. Executive Order 14094 

(Modernizing Regulatory Review; April 

6, 2023) supplements and reaffirms the 

principles, structures, and definitions 

governing contemporary regulatory 

review established in Executive Order 

12866 and Executive Order 13563. The 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs has determined that this 

rulemaking is not a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866, as amended by Executive Order 

14094. 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 proposed rule would 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 

proposed rule would exempt certain 

health care services from copayment. 

This proposed rule would not cause a 

significant economic impact on small 

entities because it is limited to 

copayments that would be received by 

VA directly from Veterans. 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 proposed rule would 

have no such effect on state, local, and 

tribal governments, or on the private 

sector. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This proposed rule contains no 

provisions constituting a collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3521).
