# SUMMARY:

                        The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published in the                         **Federal Register**                         of September 29, 2010, a document amending its adjudication regulations concerning presumptive service connection for certain diseases. In the regulatory text of that document, VA inadvertently omitted a comma following the word “etiology” in the first sentence of § 3.317(a)(2)(ii). This document corrects that omission.                    

# DATES:

*Effective Date:*                         This correction is effective October 5, 2010.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    On September 29, 2010, VA published in the                     **Federal Register**                     (75 FR 59968), an amendment to 38 CFR 3.317 to implement a decision of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs that there is a positive association between service in Southwest Asia during certain periods and the subsequent development of certain infectious diseases. In the first sentence of § 3.317(a)(2)(ii), we inadvertently omitted a comma following the word “etiology.” This correction document adds the comma immediately following the word “etiology” in that sentence.
