ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: This final rule removes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ part titled, ‘‘Corps of Engineers, Research and Development, Laboratory Research and Development and Tests, Work for Others.’’ This part is redundant with existing internal agency guidance and otherwise covers internal agency operations that have no public compliance component or adverse public impact. Therefore, this part can be removed from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). DATES: This rule is effective on April 21, 2023. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Anthony Niles at (202) 761–1849 or by email at Anthony.R.Niles@ usace.army.mil. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 SUMMARY: This final rule removes the Corps’ regulation at 32 CFR part 555, titled ‘‘Corps of Engineers, Research and Development, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:48 Apr 20, 2023 Jkt 259001 Laboratory Research and Development and Tests, Work for Others.’’ Part 555 defines and establishes policies and procedures applicable to the performance of research, development, and tests at the Corps’ laboratory installations for other governmental and private agencies and organizations. Removing this part reduces confusion for the public as well as for the Corps regarding the current policies that govern performance of research, development, and tests at Corps facilities for other governmental and private agencies and organizations. Part 555 refers to an old structure of independent laboratories within the Corps and to facilities that no longer exist. The new updated internal agency policy refers to the more recent organization of the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and new laboratories and centers since publication of Part 555. For public accessibility purposes, the updated internal agency policy on this topic may be found in various sources. The applicability content covering the organizational elements and description of services that apply to research and developments and tests to be performed for other organizations are included in the strategy document providing the Corps’ overarching approach to research and development, titled ‘‘USACE Research and Development Strategy’’ (Strategy), which published in November 2021 (available at https:// www.erdc.usace.army.mil/About/ USACE-Research-and-DevelopmentStrategy-2022/); in Engineer Circular 70–2–38, ‘‘Civil Works Research, Development, and Technology Process,’’ which published on May 31, 2021 (available at https:// www.publications.usace.army.mil/ LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=eyI9_Sz-9Ng %3d&tabid=16426&portalid=76&mid= 31387); and in the Engineer Regulation 1140–1–211 (ER 1140–1–211), ‘‘Reimbursable Services,’’ which published on September 10, 2020 (available at https:// www.publications.usace.army.mil/ LinkClick.aspx?fileticket= DKAjxGGNI5w%3d&tabid= 16441&portalid=76&mid=43546). The policy content covering the terms and conditions of services, agreements, and funds for services are covered in ER 1140–1–211, and the policies, procedures and responsibilities for support agreements are covered in the DoD Instruction 4000.19, ‘‘Support Agreements,’’ which published on December 16, 2020 (available at https:// www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/ Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/ PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 400019p.pdf?ver=AgPBMZwTey4t8d kHDRM4ng%3D%3D). The terms of providing reimbursement for services content are discussed in ER 1140–1– 211. Additional content on this topic can be found in the Engineer Regulation 70–1–5, ‘‘Corps of Engineers Research and Development Program,’’ which published on December 31, 1989 (available at https:// www.publications.usace.army.mil/ Portals/76/Publications/Engineer Regulations/ER_70-1-5.pdf). The solicitation of public comment for this removal is unnecessary because the rule is out-of-date and has no public compliance component or adverse public impact. Because the regulation does not place a burden on the public, its removal does not provide a reduction in public burden or costs. This rule is not significant under Executive Order 12866, titled ‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review.’’ List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 555 Engineers Corps, Intergovernmental relations, Laboratories, Research. PART 555—[REMOVED] Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the preamble and under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 301, the Corps removes 32 CFR part 555. ■ Approved by: Michael L.

Final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its medical regulations to add chiropractic services to the definitions of medical services and preventive care. VA will further revise the definition of medical services to include rehabilitative services consistent with its statutory definition and to reflect changes made in other VA medical regulations and in prior legislation not previously codified. The amendments will make the amended regulations consistent with current practices, prior changes in law and other VA medical regulations, and changes in law made by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018. These amendments will not substantively change the current administration of medical benefits to veterans. SUMMARY: DATES: This rule is effective May 22, 2023. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anthony Lisi, D.C., Director, Veterans Health Administration Chiropractic Service, Rehabilitation and Prosthetic Services (12RPS3), 810 Vermont Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20420, (203) 932– 5711, ext. 5341. (This is not a toll-free number.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 21, 2021, VA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register (86 FR 58237) that would revise its medical regulations to explicitly include chiropractic and rehabilitative care. VA provided a 60-day comment period, which ended on December 20, 2021. VA received six comments on the proposed rule. Section 1710 of title 38 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) requires VA to furnish hospital care and medical services which the Secretary determines PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 24481 to be needed for eligible veterans. The term medical services is defined in 38 U.S.C. 1701(6) to include medical examination, treatment, and rehabilitation, and further lists particular types of medical services in section 1701(6)(A)–(H). Section 245 of Public Law 115–141, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (March 23, 2018), amended 38 U.S.C. 1701(6) to add chiropractic services to the definition of medical services, amended section 1701(8) to include chiropractic services to the definition of rehabilitative services, and amended section 1701(9) to add chiropractic examinations and services to the definition of preventive services. VA regulates definitions for certain terms, to include medical services, in title 38 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 17.30, and regulates the provision of hospital care and medical services in 38 CFR 17.38. This final rule amends 38 CFR 17.30 and 17.38, consistent with the proposed rule, to conform to these statutory changes and expressly recognize chiropractic services as medical services. All six comments—including one submitted by the American Chiropractic Association, the largest professional organization representing chiropractors in the U.S.—expressed support for the rule, and we thank the commenters for their support. While all comments were supportive, four warrant clarification. One commenter is a chiropractor working with veterans who expressed a personal desire, as well as a desire held by the commenter’s patients, to see chiropractic care covered as part of veteran medical benefits. We believe this commenter supported the addition of chiropractic services as part of the medical benefits package in proposed § 17.38(a)(2)(x) but may not have understood that chiropractic services have been provided by VA to veterans since 2000. We clarify for the commenter, and reiterate from the proposed rule, that the proposed changes are intended to expressly recognize chiropractic services as medical services available to veterans, making VA regulations consistent with changes in law made by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018 as well as with current VA practice. The proposed changes will not affect the administration of medical benefits, which currently include chiropractic services. We do not make any changes based on this comment. While voicing support for the proposed rule, one commenter stated the change does not go far enough, because it does not include other ‘‘whole-person’’ medical treatments and E:\FR\FM\21APR1.SGM 21APR1
