Abstract
The Office of General Counsel has changed its field structure from 52 District Counsel offices to 23 Regional Counsel offices. Previously, each District Counsel office was headed by a District Counsel who was authorized to take various actions on behalf of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The new Regional Counsel offices are each headed by a Regional Counsel. In accordance with the provisions of 38 U.S.C. 512, this document delegates to the Regional Counsels the same authority and responsibility to act for VA as was previously granted to District Counsels. This document also sets forth the jurisdiction and address of each Regional Counsel.
