AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: In a document published in the Federal Register on July 31, 
2002, (67 FR 49590), we amended that portion of the Department of 
Veterans Affairs (VA) Schedule for Rating Disabilities that addresses 
the skin. The document contains an error in the Supplementary 
Information portion of the preamble. That error consists of an 
incorrect restatement of regulatory text. This document corrects that 
error.

DATES: Effective Date: This correction is effective July 31, 2002.

Policy and Regulations Staff (211B), Compensation and Pension Service,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In rule FR Doc. 02-19331, published on July 
31, 2002 (67 FR 49590), on page 49595, in column 1, the first 
paragraph, the phrase ``a 30-percent evaluation calls for recurrent 
debilitating episodes at least four times during the past 12-month 
period despite ongoing immunosuppressive therapy'' is corrected to read 
``a 30-percent evaluation calls for recurrent debilitating episodes at 
least four times during the past 12-month period, and requiring 
intermittent systemic immunosuppressive therapy.''
