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. The Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs has
determined that this rule is a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866. The Regulatory Impact Analysis
associated with this rulemaking can be
found as a supporting document at
www.regulations.gov.
Denis McDonough, Secretary of
Veterans Affairs, approved this

authorized the undersigned to sign and

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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 proposed rule would
have no such effect on State, local, and
tribal governments, or on the private
sector.

For the reasons stated in the
preamble, the Department of Veterans
Affairs proposes to amend 38 CFR part
17 as set forth below:
PART 17—MEDICAL
1. The authority citation for part 17
continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501, and as noted in
specific sections.
*
*
*
*
*
2. Amend § 17.108 by revising
paragraph (c)(1) and adding paragraph
(c)(5) to read as follows:
■
§ 17.108 Copayments for inpatient hospital
care and outpatient medical care.
*
*
*
*
*
(c)(1) Except as provided in
paragraphs (d), (e), or (f) of this section,
a veteran, as a condition for receiving
outpatient medical care provided by VA
(provided either directly by VA or
obtained by VA by contract, provider
agreement, or sharing agreement), must
agree to pay VA (and is obligated to pay
VA) a copayment as set forth in
paragraph (c)(2), (c)(4) or (c)(5) of this
section.
*
*
*
*
*
(5) The copayment for outpatient
medical care furnished to a veteran who
VA determines to be at high risk for
suicide is zero dollars ($0). This
copayment level will begin once the
veteran is determined to be at high risk
for suicide and will remain in place
until the veteran is no longer at high
risk for suicide.
*
*
*
*
*
■ 3. Amend § 17.110 by adding
paragraph (b)(6) to read as follows:
§ 17.110

National Perchloroethylene Air
Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning
Facilities Technology Review;

Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.
AGENCY:
On December 27, 2021, the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) proposed amendments to the
National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for
dry cleaning facilities using
perchloroethylene (PCE) as the cleaning
solvent (PCE Dry Cleaning NESHAP).
The proposed amendments addressed
the results of the technology review for
the PCE Dry Cleaning NESHAP, in
accordance with section 112 of the
Clean Air Act (CAA). This action is
being issued to correct a typographical
error which stated that we would hold
a virtual public hearing if anyone
contacted us requesting a public hearing
on or before January 11, 2022 (i.e., 15
days after publication of the proposed
rule). However, that same notice also
said that if requested, the virtual hearing
would be held on January 11, 2022.
Logistically, we cannot have the same
date for both actions because we need
to know several days ahead of time
whether stakeholders request a hearing
so that we have sufficient time to plan
accordingly and make all the necessary
arrangements. For most proposed rules,
the EPA states that if anyone contacts us
requesting a public hearing on or before
a date five days after publication of the
proposed rule, that the EPA will hold
such public hearing on a date 15 days
after publication of such rule. To correct
this error, in this correction notice, EPA
states that if anyone contacts us
requesting a public hearing on or before
January 10, 2022 the virtual hearing will
be held on January 20, 2022. As
