Allowance for Private Purchase of an

Government-Furnished Graveliner for
a Grave in a VA National Cemetery
Department of Veterans Affairs.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) is updating the monetary
allowance payable for qualifying
interments that occur during calendar
year (CY) 2021, which applies toward
the private purchase of an outer burial
receptacle (or ‘‘graveliner’’) for use in a
VA national cemetery. The allowance is
equal to the average cost of Governmentfurnished graveliners less any VA
administrative costs. The purpose of
this notice is to notify interested parties
of the average cost of Governmentfurnished graveliners; administrative
costs that relate to processing and
paying the allowance; and the amount
of the allowance payable for qualifying
interments that occur during CY 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
William Carter, Chief of Budget
Execution Division, National Cemetery
Administration, Department of Veterans
Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW,
Washington, DC 20420. The telephone
number is 202–461–9764 (this is not a
toll-free number).
DATES: This notice is effective January 1,
2021.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA is
authorized by 38 U.S.C. 2306(e)(3) and
(4) to 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 qualified interments
that occur during CY 2021 is the average
SUMMARY:

cost of Government-furnished
graveliners in fiscal year (FY) 2020, less
the administrative cost incurred by VA
in processing and paying the allowance
in lieu of the Government-furnished
graveliner.
The average cost of Governmentfurnished graveliners is determined by
taking VA’s total cost during a fiscal
year for single-depth 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
pre-placed in gravesites as part of the
cemetery gravesite development projects
and all double-depth graveliners. Using
this method of computation, the average
cost was determined to be $381.00 for
FY 2020.
The administrative cost is based on
the costs incurred by VA during CY
2020 that relate to processing and
paying an allowance in lieu of the
Government-furnished graveliner. This
cost has been determined to be $9.00.
Therefore, the allowance payable for
qualifying interments occurring during
CY 2021, is $372.00.
Signing Authority
The Secretary of Veterans Affairs, or
designee, approved this document and
authorized the undersigned to sign and
submit the document to the Office of the
Federal Register for publication
electronically as an official document of
the Department of Veterans Affairs.
