Beneficiary Travel Under 38 U.S.C. 111 Within the United States; 
Correction

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a document 
in the Federal Register on June 30, 2008 (73 FR 36796), amending its 
beneficiary travel regulations that provide a mechanism for payment of 
travel expenses within the United States under 38 U.S.C. 111 to help 
veterans and other persons obtain care and services from VA's Veterans 
Health Administration (VHA). That document contained a typographical 
error. This document corrects that error.

DATES: Effective Date: August 28, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tony Guagliardo, Chief Business Office 
(16), Veterans Health Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 
810 Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420; (202) 254-0406. (This is 
not a toll-free number.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 30, 2008, VA published a final rule 
in the Federal Register (73 FR 36796) amending its beneficiary travel 
regulation. The revised regulations, set forth at 38 CFR part 70, 
provide a mechanism for payment of travel expenses within the United 
States under 38 U.S.C. 111 to help veterans and other persons obtain 
care and services from VA's Veterans Health Administration. In making 
the necessary edits, a word was accidentally omitted in Sec.  70.10(b). 
This document corrects the error in Sec.  70.10(b) by removing ``care 
services'' and adding, in its place ``care or services''.
