DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

38 CFR Part 4

RIN 2900-AM60


Schedule for Rating Disabilities; Appendices A, B, and C

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is revising its 
Schedule for Rating Disabilities, Appendices A, B, and C to include all 
current diagnostic codes. Appendix A is also amended to include all the 
diagnostic code historical information since the last review.

DATES: Effective Date: This amendment is effective April 19, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Trude Steele, Regulations Staff 
(211D), Compensation and Pension Service, Veterans Benefits 
Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 273-7210.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Schedule for Rating Disabilities, 38 CFR 
Part 4, Appendices A, B, and C have not been updated since July 1, 
1988. These Appendices are tools for users of the Schedule for Rating 
Disabilities. The Appendices reflect changes to the diagnostic criteria 
in the Schedule for Rating Disabilities.
    We have amended the Appendices to add changes to the Schedule for 
Rating Disabilities since the Appendices were last updated. 
Additionally, we removed language in Appendix A that showed when a 
diagnostic code was updated to correct spelling, revise text, or other 
additional changes, which had no impact on the disability code. Those 
changes were incorporated within the text when amended. All diagnostic 
codes in Appendix A will now be categorized by when they were added, 
removed, whether the criterion was amended, and whether the disability 
evaluation was amended. We will continue to include the date for 
historical purposes. We revised Appendices B and C to provide the 
current diagnostic codes and disability terminology. We will continue 
to update the Appendices as the Schedule for Rating Disabilities is 
revised.

Administrative Procedures Act

    This final rule merely replaces inaccurate examples and does not 
alter the content of the regulations. Accordingly, there is a basis for 
dispensing with prior notice and comment and the delayed effective date 
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This document contains no provisions constituting a collection of 
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521).

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    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 would not affect any small entities. Only VA 
beneficiaries could be directly affected. Therefore, pursuant to 5 
U.S.C. 605(b), this final rule is exempt from the initial and final 
regulatory flexibility analysis requirements of sections 603 and 604.

Executive Order 12866

    Executive Order 12866 directs agencies to assess all costs and 
benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, when regulation is 
necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits 
(including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety, 
and other advantages; distributive impacts; and equity). The Executive 
Order classifies a ``significant regulatory action,'' requiring review 
by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) unless OMB waives such 
review, as any regulatory action that is likely to result in a rule 
that may: (1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or 
more or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the 
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public 
health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or 
communities; (2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere 
with an action taken or planned by another agency; (3) Materially alter 
the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan 
programs or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; or (4) 
Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the 
President's priorities, or the principles set forth in the Executive 
Order.
    The economic, interagency, budgetary, legal, and policy 
implications of this final rule have been examined and it has been 
determined not to be a significant regulatory action under Executive 
Order 12866.

Unfunded Mandates

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 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 the expenditure by 
State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the 
private sector, of $100 million or more (adjusted annually for 
inflation) in any year. This final rule would have no such effect on 
State, local, and tribal governments, or on the private sector.

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Numbers and Titles

    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance program numbers and 
titles for this final are 64.104, Pension for Non-Service-Connected 
Disability for Veterans and 64.109, Veterans Compensation for Service-
Connected Disability.
