Lieu of a Government-Furnished Graveliner for a Grave in a VA National 
Cemetery

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Public Law 104-275 was enacted on October 9, 1996. It allowed 
the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide a monetary allowance 
towards the private purchase of an outer burial receptacle for use in a 
VA national cemetery. Under VA regulation (38 CFR 38.629), the 
allowance is equal to the average cost of Government-furnished 
graveliners less any administrative costs to VA. The law provides a 
veteran's survivors with the option of selecting a Government-furnished 
graveliner for use in a VA national cemetery where such use is 
authorized.
    The purpose of this Notice is to notify interested parties of the 
average cost of Government-furnished graveliners, administrative costs 
that relate to processing a claim, and the amount of the allowance 
payable for qualifying interments that occur during calendar year 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 38 U.S.C. 2306(e)(3) and Pub. L. 104-
275, Section 213, VA may provide a monetary allowance for the private 
purchase of an outer burial receptacle for use in a VA national 
cemetery where its use is authorized. The allowance for qualified 
interments that occur during calendar year 2007 is the average cost of 
Government-furnished graveliners in fiscal year 2006, less the 
administrative costs incurred by VA in processing and paying the 
allowance in lieu of the Government-furnished graveliner.
    The average cost of Government-furnished graveliners is determined

year for single-depth graveliners that were procured for placement at 
the time of interment and dividing it by the total number of such 
graveliners procured by VA during that fiscal year. The calculation 
excludes both graveliners procured and pre-placed in gravesites as part 
of cemetery gravesite development projects and all double-depth 
graveliners. Using this method of computation, the average cost was 
determined to be $197.67 for fiscal year 2006.
    The administrative costs incurred by VA consist of those costs that 
relate to processing and paying an allowance in lieu of the Government-
furnished graveliner. These costs have been determined to be $9.00 for 
calendar year 2007.
    The net allowance payable for qualifying interments occurring 
during calendar year 2007, therefore, is $188.67.

    Approved: February 9, 2007.

Deputy Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
