Repayment by VA of Educational Loans for Certain Psychiatrists; 
Correction

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs published in the Federal 
Register on September 29, 2016, a document amending its regulations 
concerning the repayment of educational loans for certain psychiatrists 
who agree to a period of obligated service with VA. The document 
contained several section and paragraph numbering errors. This document 
corrects the errors and does not make any substantive change to the 
content of the final rule.

DATES: Effective Date: January 17, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Crystal Cruz, Deputy Director, 
Healthcare Talent Management (10A2A4), Veterans Health Administration, 
Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Ave. NW., Washington, DC 
20420; (405) 552-4346. (This is not a toll-free number.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA published a final rule in the Federal 
Register on September 29, 2016, which established into regulation 
Public Law 114-2, the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American 
Veterans Act (Clay Hunt SAV Act), enacted on February 12, 2015. Section 
4 of this Act establishes a pilot program for the repayment of 
educational loans for certain psychiatrists seeking employment in VA, 
which will be referred to as the Program for the Repayment of 
Educational Loans. The document contained several section and paragraph 
numbering errors, which will be corrected in this document. The DATES 
section of the final rule incorrectly cited Sec.  17.644 as the section 
that contains the collection of information. We are amending the DATES 
section to correctly state Sec.  17.643 as the section that contains 
the collection of information. No other edits are made to the DATES 
section. Section 17.643 had two paragraphs that were numbered 
(c)(2)(ii). We are now redesignating the second paragraph (c)(2)(ii) in 
Sec.  17.643 as paragraph (c)(2)(iii). No other edits are made to Sec.  
17.643. Section 17.644 did not have a paragraph (a)(3) and was, 
therefore, marked as reserved. We are now redesignating paragraphs 
(a)(4), (5), (6), (7), and (8) of Sec.  17.644 as paragraphs (a)(3), 
(4), (5), (6), and (7). No other edits are made to Sec.  17.644.

    1. On page 66815, in the first column, in the DATES section, remove

except for Sec.  17.643 which contains information collection 
requirements that have not been approved by OMB. VA will publish a

    For the reasons set out in the preamble, VA is correcting 38 CFR 
part 17 by making the following correcting amendments:
