Final rule; correction. AGENCY: ACTION: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a final rule amending its Schedule for Rating Disabilities regulations pertaining to the skin body system in the Federal Register on Friday, July 13, 2018.

Therefore, VA is issuing this technical correction to ensure that skin disabilities are rated correctly. SUMMARY: This correction is effective August 13, 2018.

This document corrects this technical error by removing the phrase ‘‘more than’’ from the 30 percent rating criteria under the General Rating Formula for the Skin. This error does not affect any benefits which were previously paid as the final rule for skin will not become effective until August 13, 2018.

Schedule for Rating Disabilities: Skin; Correction

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a final rule 
amending its Schedule for Rating Disabilities regulations pertaining to 
the skin body system in the Federal Register on Friday, July 13, 2018. 
VA has since determined that certain language added to the final rule 
was unintended and could be construed to prevent appropriate disability 
compensation ratings from being assigned to veterans. Therefore, VA is 
issuing this technical correction to ensure that skin disabilities are 
rated correctly.

DATES: This correction is effective August 13, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephanie Li, Chief, Regulations Staff 
(211D), Compensation Service, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 
Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420, (202) 461-9700. (This is not a 
toll-free telephone number.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On Friday, July 13, 2018, VA published in 
the Federal Register (83 FR 32592) a final rule amending its Schedule 
for Rating Disabilities regulations pertaining to the skin body system.
    In Sec.  4.118, under the General Rating Formula for the Skin for 
DCs 7806, 7809, 7813-7816, 7820-7822, AND 7824, the 30 percent criteria 
published in the final rule, contains a phrase ``Characteristic lesions 
involving more than'' without a corresponding explanation for the 
additional phrase ``more than.''
    VA notes that the inclusion of the phrase ``more than'' in the 
final rule was clearly a technical error. This document corrects this 
technical error by removing the phrase ``more than'' from the 30 
percent rating criteria under the General Rating Formula for the Skin. 
This error does not affect any benefits which were previously paid as 
the final rule for skin will not become effective until August 13, 
2018.
    In FR Doc. 18-14957, appearing on page 32598 in the Federal 
Register of July 13, 2018, correct the following:
