SUMMARY: The Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA), Department of Veterans

Affairs (VA), is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the

proposed collection of certain information by the agency. Under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Federal agencies are required to

publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed

collection of information, including each proposed extension of a

currently approved collection, and allow 60 days for public comment in

response to the notice. This notice solicits comments on the

information needed to clarify actions taken by the agency of original

jurisdiction regarding a claimant's disagreement with his or her rating

decision.

DATES: Written comments and recommendations on the proposed collection

of information should be received on or before April 30, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the collection of information

through Federal Docket Management System (FDMS) at www.Regulations.gov

or to Sue Hamlin, Board of Veterans' Appeals (01C), Department of

Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20420 or email

sue.hamlin@va.gov. Please refer to ``OMB Control No. 2900-0674'' in any

correspondence. During the comment period, comments may be viewed

online through FDMS.

Thanks Much Wings!

I am preparing my public Fed Reg comment for this one.

When VA proposes rules or anything at all that they request public comment on, it is certainly a way that all claimants can have some input into VA policy.

When the new PTSD regs came out as well as any past proposed regulations-hundreds of vets, survivors of vets, advocates, lawyer who rep vets, and vet reps and NSOs responded with comments.

The VA may not like what we say (I got email from VA on one past comment I made and thought they would delete it from the public record but they didnt)

but this is a way to let VA know how we feel about the important issues that control us when they become part of Title 38 USC.

Some hadit members here comment at the Fed Regs from time to time and that is GREAT!

BTW, the new link to the Federal Register, after March 16th,2012 is

I'm probably going to comment as well. Yesterday, I sent a request for the status of my "medical appeal" to the VAMC Fee Base Office. I had sent a formal NOD 4 months back, and have heard NOTHING. I have sent a Claim for 1151 dental work in the past, and they IGNORED that as well. For some reason, the VAMC seems to think their Decisions do not follow the Due Process regulations of Title 38. Hospital Administrations (Chief's, Director's, etc) seem not to think they are part of a system of laws!! ~Wings
