Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 28, 2008 / Proposed Rules Therefore, this proposed regulation; (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code, Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes the authority for the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it establishes additional controlled airspace at Alamosa, San Luis Valley Regional/ Bergman Field, CO.

Proposed rule. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: This document proposes to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations for the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) related to preauthorization requirements that apply to the purchase or rental of durable medical equipment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document proposes to amend VA’s medical regulations in 38 CFR part 17 concerning CHAMPVA. CHAMPVA is a VA medical benefits program for (1) spouses and children of veterans who have a permanent and total serviceconnected disability and (2) surviving spouses and children of veterans who died as a result of a service-connected disability or while rated permanently and totally disabled from a serviceconnected disability, or who died in the active military, naval, or air service in the line of duty. CHAMPVA is authorized at 38 U.S.C. 1781. To be eligible for CHAMPVA benefits, among other requirements, the spouses, surviving spouses, and children may not be otherwise eligible for medical care under 10 U.S.C. chapter 55 (authorizing TRICARE, medical care that is furnished to certain dependents and survivors of active duty and retired members of the Armed Forces). Needed medical care is largely provided to CHAMPVA beneficiaries through non-VA providers. Durable medical equipment (DME) is included among the health care items that are available to CHAMPVA beneficiaries, provided the DME is medically necessary and appropriate for the care of the CHAMPVA beneficiary’s condition. The determination of medical necessity and appropriateness is made by appropriate VA officials. For purposes of this regulation, DME is generally equipment or supply that: (1) Can withstand repeated use; (2) is primarily and customarily to serve a medical purpose; (3) is medically necessary for the treatment of a covered illness or injury; and (4) is not otherwise excluded by regulation from CHAMPVA coverage. To ensure that DME purchases and rental are medically necessary and E:\FR\FM\28OCP1.SGM 28OCP1
