AGENCY:
The Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) is making technical
changes to remove from its regulations
a series of forms related to VA payments
for care provided to veterans at State
homes. Official forms are not required to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 6, 2000, VA added 38 CFR part

65 FR 962, Jan. 6, 2000. Since that time,
VA, State home program participants
and administrators, and the general
public have increasingly come to rely on
VA’s Publications Web site (https://
www.va.gov/vaforms) as the primary
resource for VA forms. Most of the
forms in part 58 are used by the State
homes in order to comply with VA
regulations in 38 CFR parts 51 and 52.
All of these State homes have Internet
access, and the forms are also available
at all VA medical centers.
In addition, several forms currently
found in part 58 have been superseded,
and the current forms are readily
available for printing, downloading, or
online submission on the VA
Publications Web site. Updated versions
are available on the Web site
immediately—whereas the CFR is
updated only once per year. Removing
the forms from the CFR will ensure that
the CFR does not reference and depict
outdated forms. We are, therefore,

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 21, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
removing 38 CFR part 58 and marking
it as reserved for future use.
The cross references to part 58 in
parts 51 and 52 will become obsolete
with this rulemaking, and we are,
therefore, amending parts 51 and 52 to
remove the cross-references to part 58.
Administrative Procedure Act
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A),
the Secretary of Veterans Affairs finds
that notice and public comment is not
required for this rulemaking as it relates
to agency procedure or practice. The
forms being removed from the
regulation are more readily available on
the VA Publications Web site (https://
www.va.gov/vaforms). Additionally, the
Secretary finds good cause pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to dispense with the
delayed effective date requirement. The
Secretary finds that a delayed effective
date is unnecessary because this
rulemaking involves agency procedure
or practice and because the public will
continue to have access to the most
updated version of the forms on the VA
Publications Web site.
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Paperwork Reduction Act
Although this action contains
provisions constituting collections of
information, at 38 CFR part 51, part 52,
and part 58, under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3521), no new or proposed revised
collections of information are associated
with this final rule. The information
collection requirements for part 51, part
52, and part 58 are currently approved
by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) and have been assigned
OMB control numbers 2900–0091 and
2900–0160.
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 is
small business neutral as it removes
forms that are outdated and more
readily available elsewhere. The forms
will continue to be required for part 51,
Per Diem for Nursing Home Care of
Veterans in State Homes, and for part
52, Per Diem for Adult Day Health Care
of Veterans in State Homes, but
removing them from the CFR will
ensure that small businesses access the
required forms from a common location
and thereby minimize the likelihood of
relying upon an outdated form.
Ensuring reporting is accomplished on
the current, correct forms will be costneutral or will save money by avoiding
potential duplication of effort. On this
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:02 Aug 20, 2013
Jkt 229001
basis, the Secretary certifies that the
adoption of 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.
Therefore, under 5 U.S.C. 605(b), this
rulemaking is exempt from the initial
and final regulatory flexibility analysis
requirements of sections 603 and 604.
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess the 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
effects, and other advantages;
distributive impacts; and equity).
Executive Order 13563 (Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review)
emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits,
reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and
promoting flexibility. Executive Order
12866 (Regulatory Planning and
Review) defines 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 this Executive
Order.’’
The economic, interagency,
budgetary, legal, and policy
implications of this regulatory action
have been examined, and it has been
determined not to be a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866. VA’s impact analysis can be
found as a supporting document at
https://www.regulations.gov, usually
within 48 hours after the rulemaking
document is published. Additionally, a
copy of the rulemaking and its impact
analysis are available on VA’s Web site
at https://www1.va.gov/orpm/, by

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

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
AGENCY:
NMFS is prohibiting retention
of thornyhead rockfish in the Western
Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska
(GOA). This action is necessary because
the 2013 total allowable catch of
thornyhead rockfish in the Western
Regulatory Area of the GOA has been
reached.
SUMMARY:
Effective 1200 hours, Alaska
local time (A.l.t.), August 17, 2013,
through 2400 hours, A.l.t., December 31,
2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Josh
Keaton, 907–586–7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
GOA exclusive economic zone
according to the Fishery Management
Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of
Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council
under authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act. Regulations governing
fishing by U.S. vessels in accordance
with the FMP appear at subpart H of 50
CFR part 600 and 50 CFR part 679.
The 2013 total allowable catch (TAC)
of thornyhead rockfish in the Western
Regulatory Area of the GOA is 150
metric tons as established by the final
2013 and 2014 harvest specifications for
groundfish of the GOA (78 FR 13162,
February 26, 2013).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(2), the
Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS
(Regional Administrator), has
determined that the 2013 TAC of
thornyhead rockfish in the Western
Regulatory Area of the GOA has been
reached. Therefore, NMFS is requiring
that thornyhead rockfish caught in the
Western Regulatory Area of the GOA be
treated as prohibited species in
accordance with § 679.21(b).

Technical Changes To Remove Forms
AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is making technical
changes to remove from its regulations a series of forms related to VA
payments for care provided to veterans at State homes. Official forms
are not required to be reproduced in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), and all VA forms are more readily available on VA Web sites.
Removing these forms from the CFR is an administrative action and will
not impact the ability of the public to comment on any amendments to
the information collections contained in these forms.
DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is effective August 21, 2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jo Anne Parker, Geriatrics and
Extended Care Service (10NC4), Veterans Health Administration, 810
Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 461-1785. (This is not
a toll-free number.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 6, 2000, VA added 38 CFR part 58
to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for the express purpose of
making it easier to find the forms required by 38 CFR part 51, Per Diem
for Nursing Home Care of Veterans in State Homes. 65 FR 962, Jan. 6,
2000. Since that time, VA, State home program participants and
administrators, and the general public have increasingly come to rely
on VA's Publications Web site (https://www.va.gov/vaforms) as the
primary resource for VA forms. Most of the forms in part 58 are used by
the State homes in order to comply with VA regulations in 38 CFR parts
51 and 52. All of these State homes have Internet access, and the forms
are also available at all VA medical centers.
In addition, several forms currently found in part 58 have been
superseded, and the current forms are readily available for printing,
downloading, or online submission on the VA Publications Web site.
Updated versions are available on the Web site immediately--whereas the
CFR is updated only once per year. Removing the forms from the CFR will
ensure that the CFR does not reference and depict outdated forms. We
are, therefore,
[[Page 51674]]
removing 38 CFR part 58 and marking it as reserved for future use.
The cross references to part 58 in parts 51 and 52 will become
obsolete with this rulemaking, and we are, therefore, amending parts 51
and 52 to remove the cross-references to part 58.
Administrative Procedure Act
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A), the Secretary of Veterans
Affairs finds that notice and public comment is not required for this
rulemaking as it relates to agency procedure or practice. The forms
being removed from the regulation are more readily available on the VA
Publications Web site (https://www.va.gov/vaforms). Additionally, the
Secretary finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to dispense
with the delayed effective date requirement. The Secretary finds that a
delayed effective date is unnecessary because this rulemaking involves
agency procedure or practice and because the public will continue to
have access to the most updated version of the forms on the VA
Publications Web site.
Paperwork Reduction Act
Although this action contains provisions constituting collections
of information, at 38 CFR part 51, part 52, and part 58, under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), no new or
proposed revised collections of information are associated with this
final rule. The information collection requirements for part 51, part
52, and part 58 are currently approved by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) and have been assigned OMB control numbers 2900-0091 and
2900-0160.
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 is small business neutral as it removes forms that
are outdated and more readily available elsewhere. The forms will
continue to be required for part 51, Per Diem for Nursing Home Care of
Veterans in State Homes, and for part 52, Per Diem for Adult Day Health
Care of Veterans in State Homes, but removing them from the CFR will
ensure that small businesses access the required forms from a common
location and thereby minimize the likelihood of relying upon an
outdated form. Ensuring reporting is accomplished on the current,
correct forms will be cost-neutral or will save money by avoiding
potential duplication of effort. On this basis, the Secretary certifies
that the adoption of 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. Therefore,
under 5 U.S.C. 605(b), this rulemaking is exempt from the initial and
final regulatory flexibility analysis requirements of sections 603 and
604.
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
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 effects, and other advantages; distributive impacts;
and equity). Executive Order 13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review) emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility.
Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) defines 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
this Executive Order.''
The economic, interagency, budgetary, legal, and policy
implications of this regulatory action have been examined, and it has
been determined not to be a significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866. VA's impact analysis can be found as a
supporting document at https://www.regulations.gov, usually within 48
hours after the rulemaking document is published. Additionally, a copy
of the rulemaking and its impact analysis are available on VA's Web
site at https://www1.va.gov/orpm/, by following the link for ``VA
