Delegations of Authority; Tort Claims

This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations regarding delegations of authority for determining and reconsidering claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act. We believe these amendments will facilitate the processing of claims. This document also makes miscellaneous nonsubstantive changes to various regulatory provisions by revising or adding authority citations, updating titles of positions and VA subunits, correcting typographical errors, and making other nonsubstantive changes for the purpose of clarification.
