Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 136 / Tuesday, July 15, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
Because of the need to provide
immediate guidance for the valuation
and payment of benefits in plans with
valuation dates during August 2008, the
PBGC finds that good cause exists for
making the assumptions set forth in this
amendment effective less than 30 days
after publication.
The PBGC has determined that this
action is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under the criteria set forth in
Executive Order 12866.
Because no general notice of proposed
rulemaking is required for this
amendment, the Regulatory Flexibility

Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW.,

(This is not a toll-free number.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA has
two income-based benefit programs:
pension and parents’ dependency and
indemnity compensation (DIC). VA may
require a beneficiary of these programs
to submit an eligibility verification
report (EVR) in order to determine or
verify entitlement under these
programs. See 38 U.S.C. 1315, 1506; 38
CFR 3.256, 3.277, 3.661. The
authorizing statute for allowing VA to
require an EVR from a parents’ DIC
beneficiary, section 1315(e), provides an
exception for parents who have attained
72 years of age and have been paid DIC
during two consecutive calendar years.
In the past, VA has interpreted section
1315(e) as allowing VA the discretion to
continue requiring EVRs from this
category of parents’ DIC beneficiaries.
See 60 FR 25877, 25877–78 (May 15,
1995). However, on current review, we
have determined that the statute does
not allow VA to require EVRs from this
group, and we are, therefore, amending
the implementing regulation,
§ 3.256(b)(3), to state that VA will not
request an EVR from these beneficiaries.
This regulatory amendment does not
change the requirement that parents’
DIC beneficiaries who have attained 72
years of age and have been paid DIC
during two consecutive calendar years
must report material changes in income
to VA. See 38 U.S.C. 1315(e) and 38 CFR
3.256(a).
ebenthall on PRODPC60 with RULES
Administrative Procedures Act
This final rule is an interpretative rule
and the changes made by this rule
merely reflect VA’s interpretation of
statutory requirements. The primary
purpose of the amendment is to
implement VA’s statutory interpretation
of 38 U.S.C. 1315 and to align § 3.256
to the statute. Section 553(b) of title 5,
U.S. Code, does not apply to
interpretive rules. Accordingly, there is
a basis for dispensing with prior notice
and opportunity to comment. Moreover,
under section 553(d), interpretive rules
do not require 30 days prior notice
before they may become effective.
Therefore, because the amendment to
§ 3.256 is an interpretive rule, the
amendment may have an immediate
effect. Accordingly, there is a basis for
dispensing with the delayed effective
date provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(d).
Paperwork Reduction Act
This document contains no provisions
constituting a new collection of
information under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521).

The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) assigns a control number for
each collection of information it
approves. VA may not sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Control number 2900–0101 has
been assigned for the collection of
information under § 3.256.
The amendments to § 3.256 in this
final rule remain within the scope of the
approved collections of information.
This document will not increase the
information burden, nor is it a complete
discontinuance because VA will
continue to request EVRs from
individuals who do not meet the
exception requirements under section
1315(e). The amendments are a slight
modification that applies to the narrow
group of people who meet the
exception. Any reduction in the burdens
imposed by this approved collection
will be identified and addressed in the
extension request that VA must submit
to OMB before July 31, 2008.

programs or the rights and obligations of
recipients thereof; or (4) raise novel
legal or policy issues arising out of legal
mandates, the President’s priorities, or
the principles set forth in the Executive
Order.
The economic, interagency,
budgetary, legal, and policy
implications of this final rule have been
examined and it has been determined
not to be a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866.
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. This final rule
would not affect any small entities.
Only VA beneficiaries could be directly
affected. Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
605(b), this final rule is exempt from the
initial and final regulatory flexibility
analysis requirements of sections 603
and 604.

Executive Order 12866
Executive Order 12866 directs
agencies to assess all 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, and other advantages;
distributive impacts; and equity). The
Executive Order classifies a ‘‘significant
regulatory action,’’ requiring review by
OMB unless OMB waives such review,
as any regulatory action that is likely to
result in a rule that may: (1) Have an
annual effect on the economy of $100
million or more or adversely affect in a
material way the economy, a sector of
the economy, productivity, competition,
jobs, the environment, public health or
safety, or State, local, or tribal
governments or communities; (2) create
a serious inconsistency or otherwise
interfere with an action taken or
planned by another agency; (3)

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
year. This final rule would have no such
effect on State, local, and tribal
governments, or on the private sector.

38 CFR Part 3

Eligibility Reporting Requirements
AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
adjudication regulations regarding eligibility verification reports for
certain parents receiving dependency and indemnity compensation. This
amendment is necessary to conform the regulation to statutory
provisions.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This amendment is effective July 15, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maya Ferrandino, Regulations Staff

[[Page 40466]]
Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue,
NW., Washington, DC 20420, (727) 319-5847. (This is not a toll-free
number.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA has two income-based benefit programs:
pension and parents' dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC). VA
may require a beneficiary of these programs to submit an eligibility
verification report (EVR) in order to determine or verify entitlement
under these programs. See 38 U.S.C. 1315, 1506; 38 CFR 3.256, 3.277,
3.661. The authorizing statute for allowing VA to require an EVR from a
parents' DIC beneficiary, section 1315(e), provides an exception for
parents who have attained 72 years of age and have been paid DIC during
two consecutive calendar years.
In the past, VA has interpreted section 1315(e) as allowing VA the
discretion to continue requiring EVRs from this category of parents'
DIC beneficiaries. See 60 FR 25877, 25877-78 (May 15, 1995). However,
on current review, we have determined that the statute does not allow
VA to require EVRs from this group, and we are, therefore, amending the
implementing regulation, Sec. 3.256(b)(3), to state that VA will not
request an EVR from these beneficiaries. This regulatory amendment does
not change the requirement that parents' DIC beneficiaries who have
attained 72 years of age and have been paid DIC during two consecutive
calendar years must report material changes in income to VA. See 38
U.S.C. 1315(e) and 38 CFR 3.256(a).
Administrative Procedures Act
This final rule is an interpretative rule and the changes made by
this rule merely reflect VA's interpretation of statutory requirements.
The primary purpose of the amendment is to implement VA's statutory
interpretation of 38 U.S.C. 1315 and to align Sec. 3.256 to the
statute. Section 553(b) of title 5, U.S. Code, does not apply to
interpretive rules. Accordingly, there is a basis for dispensing with
prior notice and opportunity to comment. Moreover, under section
553(d), interpretive rules do not require 30 days prior notice before
they may become effective. Therefore, because the amendment to Sec.
3.256 is an interpretive rule, the amendment may have an immediate
effect. Accordingly, there is a basis for dispensing with the delayed
effective date provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(d).
Paperwork Reduction Act
This document contains no provisions constituting a new collection
of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521).
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) assigns a control number for
each collection of information it approves. VA may not sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Control number
2900-0101 has been assigned for the collection of information under
Sec. 3.256.
The amendments to Sec. 3.256 in this final rule remain within the
scope of the approved collections of information. This document will
not increase the information burden, nor is it a complete
discontinuance because VA will continue to request EVRs from
individuals who do not meet the exception requirements under section
1315(e). The amendments are a slight modification that applies to the
narrow group of people who meet the exception. Any reduction in the
burdens imposed by this approved collection will be identified and
addressed in the extension request that VA must submit to OMB before
July 31, 2008.
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. This final rule would not affect any small entities. Only VA
beneficiaries could be directly affected. Therefore, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 605(b), this final rule is exempt from the initial and final
regulatory flexibility analysis requirements of sections 603 and 604.
Executive Order 12866
Executive Order 12866 directs agencies to assess all 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,
and other advantages; distributive impacts; and equity). The Executive
Order classifies a ``significant regulatory action,'' requiring review
by OMB unless OMB waives such review, as any regulatory action that is
likely to result in a rule that may: (1) Have an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million or more or adversely affect in a material way
the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs,
the environment, public health or safety, or State, local, or tribal
governments or communities; (2) create a serious inconsistency or
otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by another agency;
(3) materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user
fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients
thereof; or (4) raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in
the Executive Order.
The economic, interagency, budgetary, legal, and policy
implications of this final rule have been examined and it has been
determined not to be a significant regulatory action under Executive
Order 12866.
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 year. This final rule would have no such effect on
State, local, and tribal governments, or on the private sector.
