SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 1, 2025, DOL issued an NPRM to
revise its implementing regulations for the Vietnam Era Veterans'
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended. The public comment
period for the NPRM was scheduled to close on September 2, 2025. In
response to public comments, DOL is extending the public comment period
to September 17, 2025. DOL believes this 15-day extension is sufficient
and balances the agency's need for stakeholder input with the
Department's desire to proceed with the rulemaking in a timely manner.
Any prior denial of an extension request remains in effect to the
extent the request asked for more than a 15-day extension. No further
extensions will be granted.
