          - 38 CFR Part 70 
          - RIN 2900-AM02 

# AGENCY:

Department of Veterans Affairs. 

# ACTION:

Correcting amendment. 

# SUMMARY:

                        The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a document in the                         **Federal Register**                         on June 30, 2008 (73 FR 36796), amending its beneficiary travel regulations that provide a mechanism for payment of travel expenses within the United States under 38 U.S.C. 111 to help veterans and other persons obtain care and services from VA's Veterans Health Administration (VHA). That document contained a typographical error. This document corrects that error.                     

# DATES:

*Effective Date:*                         August 28, 2008.                     

# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Tony Guagliardo, Chief Business Office (16), Veterans Health Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420; (202) 254-0406. (This is not a toll-free number.) 

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    On June 30, 2008, VA published a final rule in the                     **Federal Register**                     (73 FR 36796) amending its beneficiary travel regulation. The revised regulations, set forth at 38 CFR part 70, provide a mechanism for payment of travel expenses within the United States under 38 U.S.C. 111 to help veterans and other persons obtain care and services from VA's Veterans Health Administration. In making the necessary edits, a word was accidentally omitted in § 70.10(b). This document corrects the error in § 70.10(b) by removing “care services” and adding, in its place “care or services”.
