VA RIN: 2900-AN70 Publication ID: Fall 2010 
Title: ●Secretary's Authority to Provide Remedial Relief 
Abstract: This document proposes to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) delegation of authority regulation, which provides relief on account of administrative error, to include instances of natural or man-made emergencies, and to allow the Secretary to waive existing regulatory requirements and authorize temporary remedial action through administrative means. These proposed changes would allow the Secretary to promptly institute administrative relief to ensure that claimants and beneficiaries are not deprived of their rights or benefits when natural or man-made emergencies disrupt normal procedures.
