Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150, notice of this meeting is provided

as a resurgence in the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted availability of
presenters, Committee Members, VA facility leadership, caused travel
disruptions and altered scheduling dates. These exceptional
circumstances were out of the control of the Agency and Committee but
directly impacted the ability to definitively determine meeting dates
and also meet the 15-day notice period. Accordingly, and upon a finding
that exceptional circumstances exist that warrant providing notice less
than 15 calendar days prior to the meeting of the Committee, the
Advisory Committee Management Officer waives the notification
requirements pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b).
The purpose of the Committee is to advise the VA regarding the
provision by VA of benefits and services to assist Veterans in the

shall take into account the needs of Veterans who served in combat
theaters of operation. The Committee assembles, reviews, and assesses
information relating to the needs of Veterans readjusting to civilian
life and the effectiveness of VA services in assisting Veterans in that
readjustment.
