Marie Gregory, Pension and Fiduciary Service (21P1), Veterans Benefits Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 632-8863. (This is not a toll-free number.)
In April 2011, VA divided its Compensation and Pension Service (an office within VA's Veterans Benefits Administration) into two separate Services, the “Compensation Service” and the “Pension and Fiduciary Service.” This final rule amends VA regulations to reflect this change. No substantive changes are intended by these amendments.
This final rule concerns only agency organization, procedure, or practice and therefore is not subject to the notice and comment provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(b). This final rule consists of only nonsubstantive changes that will make the regulations more accurate and less confusing to readers. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Secretary finds that there is good cause to make these amendments effective on the date of their publication in the Federal Register.
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 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 an expenditure by State, local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100 million or more in any given year. This final rule will have no such effect on State, local, or tribal governments, or on the private sector.
VA has examined the economic, interagency, budgetary, legal, and policy implications of this regulatory action, and it has been determined not to be a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. VA's impact analysis can be found as a supporting document at http://www.regulations.gov, usually within 48 hours after the rulemaking document is published. Additionally, a copy of the rulemaking and its impact analysis are available on VA's Web site at http://www1.va.gov/​orpm/​, by following the link for “VA Regulations Published.”
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. This final rule consists of only nonsubstantive changes. Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), this amendment is exempt from the final regulatory flexibility analysis requirements of section 604.
