PART 3—ADJUDICATION

and Dependency and Indemnity
Compensation
1. The authority citation for part 3,
subpart A continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501(a), unless
otherwise noted.
2. Amend § 3.307 by revising the

ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
§ 3.307 Presumptive service connection
for chronic, tropical or prisoner-of-war
related disease, disease associated with
exposure to certain herbicide agents, or
disease associated with contaminants in
the water supply at Camp Lejeune; wartime
and service on or after January 1, 1947.
(a) General. A chronic, tropical,
prisoner of war related disease, a
disease associated with exposure to
certain herbicide agents, or a disease
associated with contaminants in the
water supply at Camp Lejeune listed in
§ 3.309 will be considered to have been
incurred in or aggravated by service
under the circumstances outlined in this
section even though there is no
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
evidence of such disease during the
period of service. No condition other
than one listed in § 3.309(a) will be
considered chronic.
(1) Service. The veteran must have
served 90 days or more during a war
period or after December 31, 1946. The
requirement of 90 days’ service means
active, continuous service within or
extending into or beyond a war period,
or which began before and extended
beyond December 31, 1946, or began
after that date. Any period of service is
sufficient for the purpose of establishing
the presumptive service connection of a
specified disease under the conditions
listed in § 3.309(c) and (e). Any period
of service is sufficient for the purpose of
establishing the presumptive service
connection of a specified disease under
the conditions listed in § 3.309(f), as
long as the period of service also
satisfies the requirements to establish a
presumption of exposure to
contaminants in the water supply at
Camp Lejeune under paragraph
(a)(7)(iii) of this section.
*
*
*
*
*
(7) Diseases associated with exposure
to contaminants in the water supply at
Camp Lejeune. (i) For the purposes of
this section, contaminants in the water
supply means the volatile organic
compounds trichloroethylene (TCE),
perchloroethylene (PCE), benzene and
vinyl chloride, that were in the on-base
water-supply systems located at United
States Marine Corps Base Camp
Lejeune, during the period beginning on
August 1, 1953, and ending on
December 31, 1987.
(ii) The diseases listed in § 3.309(f)
shall have become manifest to a degree
of 10 percent or more at any time after
service.
(iii) A veteran, or former reservist or
member of the National Guard, who had
no less than 30 days (consecutive or
nonconsecutive) of service at Camp
Lejeune during the period beginning on
August 1, 1953, and ending on
December 31, 1987, shall be presumed
to have been exposed during such
service to the contaminants in the water
supply, unless there is affirmative
evidence to establish that the individual
was not exposed to contaminants in the
water supply during that service. The
last date on which such a veteran, or
former reservist or member of the
National Guard, shall be presumed to
have been exposed to contaminants in
the water supply shall be the last date
on which he or she served at Camp
Lejeune during the period beginning on
August 1, 1953, and ending on
December 31, 1987. For purposes of this
section, service at Camp Lejeune means
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
any service within the borders of the
entirety of the United States Marine
Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine
Corps Air Station New River, North
Carolina, during the period beginning
on August 1, 1953, and ending on
December 31, 1987, as established by
military orders or other official service
department records.
(iv) Exposure described in paragraph
(a)(7)(iii) of this section is an injury
under 38 U.S.C. 101(24)(B) and (C). If an
individual described in paragraph
(a)(7)(iii) of this section develops a
disease listed in 38 CFR 3.309(f), VA
will presume that the individual
concerned became disabled during that
service for purposes of establishing that
the individual served in the active
military, naval, or air service.
(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501(a))
■
3. Add § 3.309(f) to read as follows:
§ 3.309 Disease subject to presumptive
service connection.
*
*
*
*
*
(f) Disease associated with exposure
to contaminants in the water supply at
Camp Lejeune. If a veteran, or former
reservist or member of the National
Guard, was exposed to contaminants in
the water supply at Camp Lejeune
during military service and the exposure
meets the requirements of § 3.307(a)(7),
the following diseases shall be serviceconnected even though there is no
record of such disease during service,
subject to the rebuttable presumption
provisions of § 3.307(d).
(1) Kidney cancer.
(2) Liver cancer.
(3) Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
(4) Adult leukemia.
(5) Multiple myeloma.
(6) Parkinson’s disease.
(7) Aplastic anemia and other
myelodysplastic syndromes.
(8) Bladder cancer.

Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) proposes to update a
portion of the Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Air Regulations. Requirements
applying to OCS sources located within
25 miles of States’ seaward boundaries
must be updated periodically to remain
consistent with the requirements of the
corresponding onshore area (COA), as
mandated by the Clean Air Act, as
amended in 1990 (the Act). The portion
of the OCS air regulations that is being
updated pertains to the requirements for
OCS sources for which Maryland is the
designated COA. In the Rules and
Regulations section of this Federal
Register, EPA is taking this action as a
direct final rule without prior proposal

noncontroversial submittal and
anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set
forth in the direct final rule. If no
adverse comments are received in
response to this action, no further
activity is contemplated. If EPA receives
adverse comments, the direct final rule
will be withdrawn and all public
comments received will be addressed in
a subsequent final rule based on this
proposed rule. EPA will not institute a
