53216 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 31, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

1 Docket Nos. MC2009-19; MC2010-28 and 

CP2010-71; MC2010-26, CP2010-67 and CP2010-68; 

MC2010-27, CP2010-69 and CP2010-70; MC2010-30 

and CP2010-75; MC2010-31 and CP2010-76; and 

MC2010-32 and CP2010-77. 

assumptions applied in the cost 

estimate that, if altered, could result in 

dramatic increases (e.g. age adjustment 

of prevalence rates) or decreases (e.g., 

lower application rates) in the range of 

costs attributed to the rule. We further 

note that, in addition to being subject to 

various sources of uncertainty, the 

model applied by the Department for 

estimating the range of prospective 

impacts is further subject to the relative 

sensitivity of variation in the respective 

inputs to the model; for example, the 

model is highly sensitive to variation in 

the prevalence rates, such as that 

resulting from age adjustment. 

While all three presumptive 

conditions covered by this rule are 

subject to these variations and the 

resulting impacts on projected 

obligations, VA considers the proposed 

rule’s cost estimate to remain a 

reasonable baseline projection of the 

costs associated with this final rule. 

However, cost estimates provided and 

the assumptions used to develop them 

have no binding effect, and veterans 

who qualify for benefits on the basis of 

these presumptions will receive their 

benefits regardless of cost estimates 

used at this time. VA’s discretionary 

and mandatory funding require explicit 

appropriations on an annual basis. 

Mandatory out-year estimates are 

evaluated for relevant current data as 

they become available and budget 

estimates are adjusted accordingly. 

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 

year. This final rule would have no such 

effect on State, local, and Tribal 

governments, or on the private sector. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Secretary of Veterans Affairs 

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 not affect any small 

entities. Only individuals will be 

directly affected. Therefore, pursuant to 

5 U.S.C. 605(b), this final rule is exempt 

from the initial and final regulatory 

flexibility analysis requirements of 

sections 603 and 604. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 

Numbers and Titles 

The Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance program numbers and titles 

for this rule are 64.109, Veterans 

Compensation for Service-Connected 

Disability and 64.110, Veterans 

Dependency and Indemnity 

Compensation for Service-Connected 

Death.

The Secretary of Veterans Affairs, or 

designee, approved this document and 

authorized the undersigned to sign and
