DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS



38 CFR Part 4



RIN 2900-AM60



 

Schedule for Rating Disabilities; Appendices A, B, and C



AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.



ACTION: Final rule.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------



SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is revising its 

Schedule for Rating Disabilities, Appendices A, B, and C to include all 

current diagnostic codes. Appendix A is also amended to include all the 

diagnostic code historical information since the last review.



DATES: Effective Date: This amendment is effective April 19, 2007.



FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Trude Steele, Regulations Staff 

(211D), Compensation and Pension Service, Veterans Benefits 

Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, 

NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 273-7210.



SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Schedule for Rating Disabilities, 38 CFR 

Part 4, Appendices A, B, and C have not been updated since July 1, 

1988. These Appendices are tools for users of the Schedule for Rating 

Disabilities. The Appendices reflect changes to the diagnostic criteria 

in the Schedule for Rating Disabilities.

    We have amended the Appendices to add changes to the Schedule for 

Rating Disabilities since the Appendices were last updated. 

Additionally, we removed language in Appendix A that showed when a 

diagnostic code was updated to correct spelling, revise text, or other 

additional changes, which had no impact on the disability code. Those 

changes were incorporated within the text when amended. All diagnostic 

codes in Appendix A will now be categorized by when they were added, 

removed, whether the criterion was amended, and whether the disability 

evaluation was amended. We will continue to include the date for 

historical purposes. We revised Appendices B and C to provide the 

current diagnostic codes and disability terminology. We will continue 

to update the Appendices as the Schedule for Rating Disabilities is 

revised.



Administrative Procedures Act



    This final rule merely replaces inaccurate examples and does not 

alter the content of the regulations. Accordingly, there is a basis for 

dispensing with prior notice and comment and the delayed effective date 

provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553.



Paperwork Reduction Act



    This document contains no provisions constituting a collection of 

information under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521).



Regulatory Flexibility Act



    The Secretary hereby certifies that this final rule will not have a 

significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 

as they are defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-

612. This final rule would not affect any small entities. Only VA 

beneficiaries could be directly affected. Therefore, pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. 605(b), this final rule is exempt from the initial and final 

regulatory flexibility analysis requirements of sections 603 and 604.



Executive Order 12866



    Executive Order 12866 directs agencies to assess all 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, 

and other advantages; distributive impacts; and equity). The Executive 

Order classifies a ``significant regulatory action,'' requiring review 

by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) unless OMB waives such 

review, as any regulatory action that is likely to result in a rule 

that may: (1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or 

more or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the 

economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public 

health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or 

communities; (2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere 

with an action taken or planned by another agency; (3) Materially alter 

the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan 

programs or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; or (4) 

Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the 

President's priorities, or the principles set forth in the Executive 

Order.

    The economic, interagency, budgetary, legal, and policy 

implications of this final rule have been examined and it has been 

determined not to be a significant regulatory action under Executive 

Order 12866.



Unfunded Mandates



    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 

1532, that agencies prepare an assessment of 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 year. This final rule would have no such effect on 

State, local, and tribal governments, or on the private sector.



Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Numbers and Titles



    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance program numbers and 

titles for this final are 64.104, Pension for Non-Service-Connected 

Disability for Veterans and 64.109, Veterans Compensation for Service-

Connected Disability.
