DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

38 CFR Part 3

RIN 2900-AM17


Typographical Error: Notice and Assistance Requirements; 
Correction

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a document 
in the Federal Register of April 30, 2008, revising its regulation 
governing VA's duty to provide a claimant with notice of the 
information and evidence necessary to substantiate a claim and VA's 
duty to assist a claimant in obtaining the evidence necessary to 
substantiate the claim. The document inadvertently contained a 
typographical error, and this document corrects that error.

DATES: Effective Date: This correction is effective May 6, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maya Ferrandino, Consultant, 
Regulations Staff (211D), Compensation and Pension Service, Veterans 
Benefits Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420, (727) 319-5847.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 30, 2008, VA published in the 
Federal Register (73 FR 23353) a document revising its regulation 
regarding VA's duty to provide a claimant with notice of the 
information and evidence necessary to substantiate a claim and VA's 
duty to assist a claimant in obtaining the evidence necessary to 
substantiate the claim. In the rule, one typographical error was 
inadvertently published. The reason for the typographical error is 
that, between the publication of the proposed rule and the publication 
of the final rule, VA had redesignated the relevant provision of its 
procedures manual from ``c'' to ``d.'' This document corrects that 
error.
    In FR Doc. E8-9454 published on April 30, 2008 (73 FR 23353), make 
the following correction. On page 23355, in the second column, in the 
first sentence of the third full paragraph, the VA Manual M21-1MR 
paragraph reference is corrected by removing ``I.1.B.3.c'' and adding 
in its place ``I.1.B.3.d''.

    Approved: April 30, 2008.
Robert C. McFetridge,
Assistant to the Secretary for Regulation Policy and Management.
