companion substantially identical

AGENCY
In a direct
final rule published in the Federal
Register on March 6, 2012, 77 FR 13195,
VA amended 38 CFR 17.108 to
eliminate copayments for in-home video
telehealth. VA published a companion
substantially identical proposed rule at
77 FR 13236 on the same date to serve
as a proposal for the provisions in the
direct final rule in case adverse
comments were received. The direct
final rule and proposed rule each
provided a 30-day comment period that
ended on April 5, 2012. No adverse
comments were received. Two
comments that supported the
rulemaking were received from
members of the general public.
Under the direct final rule procedures
that were described in 77 FR 13195 and
77 FR 13236, the direct final rule
became effective on May 7, 2012,
because no significant adverse
comments were received within the
comment period. In a companion
document in this issue of the Federal
Register, VA is withdrawing the
proposed rulemaking, RIN 2900–AO27,
published at 77 FR 13236, as
unnecessary.
