West Los Angeles VA Medical Center Veterans Programs Enhancement 
Act of 1998; Master Plan 2022 Draft

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Notice of availability; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: This Federal Register Notice announces the availability of the 
Master Plan 2022 draft for public comment. The Master Plan 2022 draft 
is an update to the Draft Master Plan (DMP) which contemplated that 
West Los Angeles (WLA) Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) would 
periodically review, reevaluate, and update the DMP every three to five 
years. As various elements of the DMP are implemented and the needs of 
the WLA Campus and the Veterans population it serves change, the plan 
will evolve and be revised accordingly. This iteration is Master Plan 
2022, the first update to the DMP. The DMP and the Master Plan 2022 are 
created in accordance with the West Los Angeles Leasing Act of 2016.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 17, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be submitted through http://www.Regulations.gov. Comments should indicate that they are submitted

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The WLA Campus master planning initiative 
was launched in 2015 with significant participation and collaboration 
on concepts from various stakeholders including: Veterans Service 
Organizations, Veterans, former plaintiffs of the lawsuit, local 
community entities and individuals, charitable and philanthropic 
entities, elected officials, state and local authorities, and many 
other stakeholders. More than 1,000 public comments were received on 
the preliminary draft. The Secretary of VA (SECVA) adopted the DMP in 
January 2016, sealing VA's commitment to the ``framework'' expressed in 
the DMP.
    In keeping with VA's goals to reach as many Veterans as possible 
and to ensure that those Veterans receive the services that they need 
the most, VA has decided to make Master Plan 2022 draft, the most 
recent update to the Draft Master Plan, available for viewing at 
https://www.westladraftmasterplan.org and invite members of the public 
and other interested parties to review the updated Master Plan and to 
comment on it.
    This update that is being made available for public comment, Master 
Plan 2022 draft, will move from the draft and framework concepts to: 
(1) Solidify accomplishments to date, (2) explain the committed path 
for a community plan, and (3) provide the path forward identifying 
strategic options.
    After the public comment period for this notice has closed, VA will 
make any necessary adjustments to the Master Plan 2022 draft for 
submission to Secretary McDonough.
    Authority: Public Law 114-226, as amended by Public Law 115-251.

Signing Authority

    Denis McDonough, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, approved this 
document on October 12, 2021, and authorized the undersigned to sign 
and submit the document to the Office of the Federal Register for 
publication electronically as an official document of the Department of 
Veterans Affairs.

Assistant Director, Office of Regulation Policy & Management, Office of
