Title: Technical Changes to the Title II Regulations (3342F) 
Abstract: This rule amended our regulations by correcting a cross-reference affecting entitlement to mother's and father's benefits, to include alternatives to the 9-month duration of marriage requirement. We deleted an out-of-date cross-reference to the definition of "substantially all." In its place, we restored the regulatory definition for "substantially all" that had been inadvertently deleted to show if a grandchild is dependent based on our support requirements. Also, we revised headings in six of our regulations to conform to plain language provisions of Executive Order 12866, as amended and amended another regulation for clarity and to correct a typographical error.
