Title: State Cemetery Grants: Aid to States for Establishment, Expansion, and Improvement of Veterans Cemeteries 
Abstract: The proposed rule revises 38 CFR part 39 to amend Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations for the State Cemetery Grants Program to implement and update information on program requirements and the application process for participants. The amendment formalizes new standards and provides guidance on how States may obtain funding for grants to expand, establish, or improve State veterans cemeteries. The rule is published as proposed in the Federal Register to provide information to the public on how to apply for Federal funding for State veterans cemeteries. A 60-day public comment period is provided. It is subject to the requirements of the Administrative Procedures Act and E.O. 12866 because the rule is an interpretation of statute. The proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities; only those States that apply for funding may be direct beneficiaries.
