Department of Veterans Affairs May 10, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of a currently approved collection, and allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. This notice solicits comments on information needed to determine whether State homes providing nursing home care and adult day health care are providing high quality care to eligible veterans.

On November 26, 2003, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a final rule in the Federal Register at 68 FR 66534 (VA's portion at 66618) implementing changes to the governmentwide nonprocurement debarment and suspension common rule (NCR). The NCR sets forth the common policies and procedures that Federal Executive branch agencies must use in taking suspension or debarment actions. At that time, ``Subpart GLimited Denial of Participation'' (LDP), was inadvertently eliminated instead of being redesignated as subpart J. This technical amendment reinstates the dropped regulatory text for former subpart G in the new subpart J of part 44.
