38 CFR Parts 3, 17, 18 and 21

RIN 2900-AR04


Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR&E) Program: Name 
Change

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing this final 
rule to

[[Page 8741]]

amend the regulations pertaining to the name of the Vocational 
Rehabilitation and Employment program. VA provides benefits and 
services under the program name of ``Vocational Rehabilitation and 
Employment.'' VA is proposing to amend the name to ``Veteran Readiness 
and Employment'' (VR&E). VA further proposes that the references to the 
position of ``Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Officer'' be 
amended to ``Veteran Readiness and Employment Officer'' and the 
position of ``Director of Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment'' be 
amended to ``Executive Director of Veteran Readiness and Employment''.

DATES: This rule is effective February 16, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Allison Bernheimer, Policy Analyst, 
Veteran Readiness and Employment Services (28), 810 Vermont Avenue NW, 
Washington, DC 20420, [email protected], (202) 461-9600. (This 
is not a toll-free telephone number.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 20, 2021, VA published a proposed 
rule in the Federal Register (86 FR 27340) which would amend its 
regulations that contain the program name Vocational Rehabilitation and 
Employment, the position title of Vocational Rehabilitation and 
Employment Officer and the position title of the Executive Director of 
Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment. VA provided a 60-day comment 
period, which ended on July 19, 2021. We received no comments on the 
proposed rule. This rule adopts as a final rule, without changes, the 
proposed rule published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2021. Based 
on the rationale set forth in the notice of proposed rulemaking and in 
this document, VA adopts the proposed rule as a final rule.

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, when 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, and other advantages; distributive impacts; 
and equity). Executive Order 13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory 
Review) emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and 
benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility. 
The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has determined that 
this rule is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 
12866. The Regulatory Impact Analysis associated with this rulemaking 
can be found as a supporting document at www.regulations.gov.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Secretary hereby certifies that this final rule will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
as they are defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-
612). The factual basis for this certification is based on this 
rulemaking does not change VA's policy regarding small businesses, does 
not have an economic impact to individual businesses, and there is no 
increased or decreased costs to small business entities. Therefore, 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the initial and final regulatory 
flexibility analysis requirements of 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604 do not apply.

Unfunded Mandates

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 
1532, that agencies prepare an assessment of anticipated costs and 
benefits before issuing any rule that may result in the expenditure by 
State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the 
private sector, of $100 million or more (adjusted annually for 
inflation) in any one year. This final rule will have no such effect on 
State, local, and tribal governments, or on the private sector.

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This final rule contains no provisions constituting a collection of 
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3521).

Assistance Listing

    The Assistance Listing numbers and titles for the programs affected 
by this document are 64.116, Vocational Rehabilitation for Disabled 
Veterans; 64.125, Vocational and Educational Counseling for 
Servicemembers and Veterans; 64.128, Vocational Training and 
Rehabilitation for Vietnam Veterans' Children with Spina Bifida or 
Other Covered Birth Defects.

Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to Subtitle E of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996 (known as the Congressional Review Act) (5 U.S.C. 
801 et seq.), the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs 
designated this rule as not a major rule, as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).
