    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, that the meeting of 
the Advisory Committee on Disability Compensation (Committee), 
previously scheduled for January 26-28, 2015, and cancelled due to 
forecasted inclement weather has been rescheduled. The Committee will 
meet March 9-11, 2015, at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 
1800-G Street NW., Washington, DC 20006, in Conference Room 867 on the 
Eight Floor. The sessions will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. 
on all three days. The meeting is open to the public.
    The purpose of the Committee is to advise the Secretary of Veterans 
Affairs on the maintenance and periodic readjustment of the VA Schedule 
for Rating Disabilities. The Committee is to assemble and review 
relevant information relating to the nature and character of 
disabilities arising during service in the Armed Forces, provide an 
ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of the rating schedule, and 
give advice on the most appropriate means of responding to the needs of 
Veterans relating to disability compensation.
    The Committee will receive briefings on issues related to 
compensation for Veterans with service-connected disabilities and other 
VA benefits programs. Time will be allocated for receiving public 
comments. Public comments will be limited to three minutes each. 
Individuals wishing to make oral statements before the Committee will

speak are invited to submit 1-2 page summaries of their comments at the 
time of the meeting for inclusion in the official meeting record.
    The public may submit written statements for the Committee's review 
to Nancy Copeland, Designated Federal Officer, Department of Veterans 
Affairs, Veterans Benefits Administration, Compensation Service, Policy 
Staff, 810 Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20420 or email at 
Nancy.Copeland@va.gov. Because the meeting is being held in a 
government building, a photo I.D. must be presented at the Guard's Desk
