## Abstract

The Department of Veterans Affairs published a document on February 6, 1997, amending 38 CFR part 3 by removing Sec. 3.51. At that time, we failed to remove all the cross-references to 38 CFR 3.51 in other parts of 38 CFR. This document corrects that error by removing those cross-references.
