## Abstract

This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations captioned ``Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief'' which were established under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended (50 U.S.C. app. 511 et seq.). It deletes provisions that became obsolete because they were superseded by subsequent amendments to that Act. It also eliminates regulations that merely restate provisions of the Act and amendments thereto. Other provisions are rewritten for purpose of clarification.
