Abstract
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is taking final action to amend its hearing regulations to repeal a prior amendment that specified that the provisions regarding hearings before the Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ) do not apply to hearings before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board). This action is being taken because of VA's decision that the prior amendment should have followed the notice- and-comment procedure of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
