38 CFR Part 4

RIN 2900-AM70


Grants to States for Construction or Acquisition of State Home 
Facilities--Update of Authorized Beds; Correction

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Proposed rule; Correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a proposed 
rule in the Federal Register July 10, 2009, to amend its regulations 
regarding grants to States for construction or acquisition of State 
homes to update the maximum number of nursing home and domiciliary beds 
designated for each State and to amend the definition of ``State'' for 
purposes of these grants to include Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, 
and American Samoa. In the preamble, the table showing the changes in 
the maximum number of beds for each State contained an error for the 
number of beds for Vermont. This document corrects that error.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 8, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be submitted by: Mail or hand-delivery 
to Director, Regulations Management (02REG), Department of Veterans 
Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW., Room 1068, Washington, DC 20420; fax 
to (202) 273-9026; or e-mail at http://www.regulations.gov. For further 
information concerning submission

Geriatrics and Extended Care State Home Construction Grant Program

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA published a document in the Federal 
Register on July 10, 2009, at 74 FR 33192, amending its regulations 
regarding grants to States for construction or acquisition of State 
homes to update the maximum number of nursing home and domiciliary beds 
designated for each State, and to amend the definition of ``State.'' 
This document corrects an error in the preamble of the proposed rule in 
the maximum number of beds for the State of Vermont. However, in the 
regulatory text section of the proposed rule contains the correct 
number of 142 beds as shown in the table.
    In FR Doc. E9-16341, published July 10, 2009, (74 FR 33192), make 
the following correction: On page 33194, in the third column of the 
table ``New max  of beds (based on 2020 projection)'' in the 
entry for Vermont, remove the number ``1312'' and add, in its place, 
``142''.

Director, Regulations Management.
