Title: Enrollment--Provision of Hospital and Outpatient Care to Veterans--Subpriorities of Priority Categories 7 and 8 and Enrollment Level Decision 
Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published in the Federal Register on January 17, 2003, an interim final rule amending VA's medical regulations at 38 CFR part 17 to establish additional subpriorities within enrollment priority categories 7 and 8 and to provide that, beginning January 17, 2003, VA will continue to treat all veterans currently enrolled in any category and will treat new enrollees in categories 1 through 7. However, the interim final rule provided that VA will suspend the enrollment of additional veterans who are in the lowest statutory enrollment category (priority category 8). Based on the rationale set forth in the interim final rule, VA is adopting the provisions of the interim final rule as a final rule without change.
