38 CFR Part 60

RIN 2900-AP45


Fisher Houses and Other Temporary Lodging; Correction

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs is correcting a final rule 
that eliminated the use of VA Form 10-0408A when veterans receiving 
treatment or care seek temporary lodging at a VA Fisher House for their 
relatives, close friends, or caregivers that was published in the 
Federal Register (82 FR 26592) on June 8, 2017.

DATES: The correction is effective August 2, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Koget, National Fisher House 
and Family Hospitality Program Manager, Care Management and Social Work 
(10P4C), Veterans Health Administration, Department of Veterans 
Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 461-6780. 
(This is not a toll-free number.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 8, 2017, at 82 FR 26592, VA amended 
what had been the Sec.  60.15 series of 38 CFR part 60 to eliminate use 
of VA Form 10-0408A, found at 38 CFR 60.15. VA amended the section 
heading and heading for paragraph (b) in the Sec.  60.15 series to 
reflect the June 8, 2017, amendment. At the time of the amendments, VA 
inadvertently failed to include the accompanying instruction amending 
the section and paragraph headings. The rule became effective on July 
10, 2017; however, the Federal Register could not revise the section 
and corresponding paragraph (b) heading without the missing amendatory 
instruction.
    Consequently, the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations, published 
by the Government Printing Office, could not implement the change, 
noting an ``inaccurate amendatory instruction'' at 38 CFR 60.15. With 
this notice, VA is amending Sec.  60.15 to correct the accompanying 
instruction amending the section and paragraph headings in the 
regulation.
