is not a toll-free telephone number.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 20, 2021, VA published a proposed
rule in the Federal Register (86 FR 27340) which would amend its
regulations that contain the program name Vocational Rehabilitation and
Employment, the position title of Vocational Rehabilitation and
Employment Officer and the position title of the Executive Director of
Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment. VA provided a 60-day comment
period, which ended on July 19, 2021. We received no comments on the
proposed rule. This rule adopts as a final rule, without changes, the
proposed rule published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2021. Based
on the rationale set forth in the notice of proposed rulemaking and in
this document, VA adopts the proposed rule as a final rule.
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
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 effects, and other advantages; distributive impacts;
and equity). Executive Order 13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review) emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility.
The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has determined that
this rule is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order
12866. The Regulatory Impact Analysis associated with this rulemaking
can be found as a supporting document at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
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). The factual basis for this certification is based on this
rulemaking does not change VA's policy regarding small businesses, does
not have an economic impact to individual businesses, and there is no
increased or decreased costs to small business entities. Therefore,
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the initial and final regulatory
flexibility analysis requirements of 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604 do not apply.
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 one year. This final rule will have no such effect on
State, local, and tribal governments, or on the private sector.
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This final rule contains no provisions constituting a collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3521).
Assistance Listing
The Assistance Listing numbers and titles for the programs affected
by this document are 64.116, Vocational Rehabilitation for Disabled
Veterans; 64.125, Vocational and Educational Counseling for
Servicemembers and Veterans; 64.128, Vocational Training and
Rehabilitation for Vietnam Veterans' Children with Spina Bifida or
Other Covered Birth Defects.
Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to Subtitle E of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (known as the Congressional Review Act) (5 U.S.C.
801 et seq.), the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
designated this rule as not a major rule, as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
