## Abstract

This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations captioned ``STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT AND RELATED RESPONSIBILITIES.'' It removes VA regulations that in essence restate Government-wide standards contained in 5 CFR Part 735 and Chapter XVI. It also amends the VA regulations to refer VA employees to the Government-wide standards. The intended effect of this final rule is to delete unnecessary and repetitive material in VA regulations and to refer VA employees to the Government-wide standards.
