SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Revisions to Sec.  17.643 of Title 38, Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR)

    In a final rule published in the Federal Register (FR) on March 2, 
2023, at 88 FR 13033, VA added the OMB collection number to Sec.  
17.643 for the PREL, which is a program in which VA repays educational 
loans to individuals who pursued a program of study leading to a degree 
in psychiatric medicine and who are seeking employment in VA. The 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507). requires that VA 
consider the impact of paperwork and other information collection 
burdens imposed on the public. Under 44 U.S.C. 3507(a), an agency may 
not collect or sponsor the collection of information, nor may it impose 
an information collection requirement unless it displays a currently 
valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. See also 5 
CFR 1320.8(b)(3)(vi). We had indicated in the DATES section of the 
final rule that the effective date for the OMB collection number was 
for Sec.  17.644. However, the correct section for the OMB collection 
is Sec.  17.643, not Sec.  17.644. This document corrects the DATES 
section of that rule to reference the correct document and reflect the 
full history of the regulation.

Correction

    In the Federal Register of March 2, 2023 in FR Doc. 2023-04144, on 
page 13033 in the third column, correct the DATES caption to read:

DATES: Section 17.643 of title 38, published at 81 FR 66815 on 
September 29, 2016, and corrected at 82 FR 4795 on January 17, 2017, is 
effective March 2, 2023. This final rule is effective March 2, 2023.
