RIN 2900-AN24


Presumptions of Service Connection for Persian Gulf Service; 
Correction

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published in the 
Federal Register of September 29, 2010, a document amending its 
adjudication regulations concerning presumptive service connection for 
certain diseases. In the regulatory text of that document, VA 
inadvertently omitted a comma following the word ``etiology'' in the 
first sentence of Sec.  3.317(a)(2)(ii). This document corrects that 
omission.

DATES: Effective Date: This correction is effective October 5, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William F. Russo, Director of 
Regulations Management (02REG), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 
Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420, or call (202) 273-9515 (not 
a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 29, 2010, VA published in the 
Federal Register (75 FR 59968), an amendment to 38 CFR 3.317 to 
implement a decision of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs that there is 
a positive association between service in Southwest Asia during certain 
periods and the subsequent development of certain infectious diseases. 
In the first sentence of Sec.  3.317(a)(2)(ii), we inadvertently 
omitted a comma following the word ``etiology.'' This correction 
document adds the comma immediately following the word ``etiology'' in 
that sentence.
