DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

38 CFR Part 4

RIN 2900-AH43


Schedule for Rating Disabilities; Eye; Correction

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains a minor correction to the final 
regulations that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published at 
73 FR 66543 on November 10, 2008. The rulemaking revised the portion of 
VA's Schedule for Rating Disabilities that addresses disabilities of 
the eye. One of the revised regulations contains an incorrect 
reference, and this document corrects that error.

DATES: Effective Date: February 19, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maya Ferrandino, Regulations Staff 
(211D), Compensation and Pension Service, Veterans Benefits 
Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20420, (727) 319-5847. (This is not a toll-free 
number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA published a document in the Federal 
Register on November 10, 2008, at 73 FR 66543, revising the portion of 
the Rating Schedule regarding disabilities of the eye. One of the 
revised regulations contains an incorrect reference. In 38 CFR 4.77(a), 
as revised, we state ``In all cases, the results must be recorded on a 
standard Goldmann chart (see Figure 1), and the Goldmann chart must be 
included with the examination report.'' However, Figure 1 is not the 
Goldmann chart; rather, Figure 2 contains the chart. Stating ``Figure 
1'' instead of ``Figure 2'' was an inadvertent mistake. This document 
corrects that error. We intend no substantive change by this 
correction, only to revise an incorrect reference.
