The Notice was published in accordance with 38 U.S.C. 1172(a)(1), as created by section 202 of the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act. VA continues to review and assess information about military environmental exposure incidents, emerging scientific evidence regarding toxic substances and adverse health outcomes in deployed and nondeployed Veterans. Additionally, active epidemiological surveillance and ongoing monitoring of military exposures in collaboration with the Department of Defense are underway. If the scientific review concludes a possible association between military environmental exposure and an adverse health outcome is present, this may lead to additional research or be subject to a Federal Register notice and comment process, as required by section 1172. VA will publish other notices of this type as it reviews adverse health conditions and their possible association with military environmental exposures to provide health care, services and benefits to Veterans. This listening session aims to allow individuals to share their research, input and comments on certain adverse health conditions associated with military environmental exposure. Participants can also share their recommendations on other conditions that would benefit from review. Registration: Individuals interested in attending must register with Webex for the listening session. We will ask attendees if they want to provide verbal or written feedback during registration so we can coordinate enough time for verbal comments. However, verbal participation is not required to complete registration. If you wish to provide verbal or written feedback during the listening session, please register by November 3, 2023. Individuals who indicate interest in commenting will receive a confirmation message 2 business days before the session. Individuals who wish to submit materials to VA must do so by November 3, 2023, the Friday before the session. E:\FR\FM\24OCN1.SGM 24OCN1
