DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS
AFFAIRS
Allowance for Private Purchase of an
Outer Burial Receptacle in Lieu of a
Government-Furnished Graveliner for
a Grave in a VA National Cemetery
Department of Veterans Affairs.
Notice.
AGENCY:
jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
ACTION:
SUMMARY: Public Law 104–275 was
enacted on October 9, 1996. It allows
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 Governmentfurnished graveliners less any
administrative costs to VA. The law
provides a veteran’s survivors with the
option of selecting a Governmentfurnished 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 and paying the allowance
and the amount of the allowance
payable for qualifying interments that
occur during calendar year 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Tamula Jones, Budget Operations and
Field Support Division, National
Cemetery Administration, Department
of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20420.
Telephone: (202) 461–6688 (this is not
a toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 38
U.S.C. 2306(e)(3) and (4) and Public
Law 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 2012 is
the average cost of Governmentfurnished graveliners in fiscal year
2011, less the administrative costs
incurred by VA in processing and
paying the allowance in lieu of the
Government-furnished graveliner.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

The average cost of Governmentfurnished graveliners is determined by
taking VA’s total cost during a fiscal
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 $271.00 for fiscal year
2011.
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
2012.
The allowance payable for qualifying
interments occurring during calendar
year 2012, therefore, is $262.00.
