BILLING CODE 4910-15-P DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS 38 CFR Part 21 RIN 2900-AL69 Reservists' Education: Revision of Eligibility Requirements for the Montgomery GI Bill—Selected Reserve AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment. SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA)published a document in the **Federal Register** on January 10, 2006 (71 FR 1496), revising eligibility requirements for the Montgomery GI Bill—Selected Reserve program. In that document, we inadvertently removed paragraphs (e)(2) through (e)(4) of § 21.7550 when we revised redesignated paragraph (e)(1). This document reinstates the dropped regulatory text of those paragraphs. DATES: Effective on January 10, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brandye R. Kidd, Management and Program Analyst, Department of Veterans Affairs (225C), 810 Vermont Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20420,
(202)273-7420. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA)made revisions to 38 CFR 21.7550(e) in order to update the regulations to reflect the date that reservists would no longer be eligible for benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill—Selected Reserve program. In making the necessary adjustments to reflect the appropriate time limits, paragraphs (e)(2) through(e)(4) of § 21.7550 were accidentally removed. A typographical error occurred in the amendatory instruction to the Office of Federal Register editor. We instructed the editor “to revise redesignated paragraph (e)” when it was our intention only to revise redesignated paragraph (e)(1). Consequently, the revised regulatory text of redesignated paragraph (e)(1) replaced paragraphs (e)(2) through (e)(4). This document reinstates the regulatory text of paragraphs (e)(2) through (e)(4) of § 21.7550.
