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

average cost of Government-furnished graveliners in fiscal year 2012, 
less the administrative costs incurred by VA in processing and paying 
the allowance in lieu of the Government-furnished graveliner.

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

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 2013.
    The allowance payable for qualifying interments occurring during 
calendar year 2013, therefore, is $289.00.
