    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under the

Committee on Prosthetics and Special-Disabilities Programs will be held 
on October 17, 2018, in Room 530 and on October 18, 2018, in Room 730 
at VA Central Office, 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420. The

    The purpose of the Committee is to advise the Secretary of VA on 
VA's prosthetics programs designed to provide state-of-the-art 
prosthetics and the associated rehabilitation research, development, 
and evaluation of such technology. The Committee also provides advice 
to the Secretary to serve Veterans with spinal cord injuries, blindness 
or visual impairments, loss of extremities or loss of function, 
deafness or hearing impairment, and other serious incapacities in terms 
of daily life functions.

    On October 17, the Committee will receive briefings on Ethics; 
Audiology and Speech Pathology Services; Blind Rehabilitation Service; 
Pain Management; Prosthetic and Sensory Aids Service; and the

Committee members will receive briefings from National Veterans Sports 
Programs and Special Events; Recreation Therapy Service; and

    No time will be allocated for receiving oral presentations from the 
public; however, members of the public may direct questions or submit 
written statements for review by the Committee in advance of the 
meeting to Judy Schafer, Ph.D., Designated Federal Officer, Veterans 
Health Administration, Patient Care Services, Rehabilitation and 
Prosthetic Services (10P4R), VA, 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 
20420, or by email at [email protected]. Because the meeting is being 
held in a Government building, a photo I.D. must be presented at the

allow an additional 30 minutes before the meeting begins. Any member of 
the public wishing to attend the meeting should contact Dr. Schafer at
