SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 19, 2020, VA published a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend VA
regulations governing the TSGLI
program. 85 FR 50973. That rulemaking also proposed to deny a petition for rulemaking requesting that VA:
1. Amend the definition of traumatic event in current 9.20b1 to include application of . . . explosive ordnance . . . causing damage to a living being.
2. Amend the definition of traumatic injury in current 9.20c2ii to include a physical illness or disease . . . caused by . . . explosive ordnance.
3. Amend the list of exclusions in current 9.20e4i to provide that a scheduled loss resulting from a physical illness or disease caused by explosive ordnance will not be excluded from TSGLI coverage.
4. Add the following definition of explosive ordnance to current 9.20e6: all munitions containing explosives, . . . including, but . . .
not limited to, improvised explosive devices IEDs.
This SNPRM does not propose any substantive changes to the previously published proposed rule. Rather, through this SNPRM, we simply seek to 1 clarify that VA proposes to deny the petition for rulemaking for the reasons set forth in the preamble to the proposed rulemaking, see 85 FR 50982
83, and 2 provide additional opportunity for public comment on that subject specifically because the August 2020 proposed rule may not have been entirely clear that the issues raised in the petition and the proposed denial thereof were subject to public comment.
VA hereby invites comments on the petition and the proposed denial thereof. Before making a final decision on the petition and the issuance of a final rulemaking, VA will consider all DATES:

comments received during the comment period ending on October 19, 2020, in response to the August 2020 proposed rule and all comments received in response to this SNPRM by the closing date. If you submitted a comment regarding the petition in response to the August 2020 proposed rule, you do not need to submit the same comment again. This SNPRM does not reopen the other proposals that were contained in the August 2020 proposed rulemaking or request further comments on those proposals.
Paperwork Reduction Act This proposed rule contains no provisions constituting a collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act 44 U.S.C. 35013521.
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, when regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, and other advantages;
distributive impacts; and equity.
Executive Order 13563 Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has determined that this rule is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
VAs impact analysis can be found as a supporting document at http
www.regulations.gov, usually within 48
hours after the rulemaking document is published. Additionally, a copy of the rulemaking and its impact analysis are available on VAs website at http
www.va.gov/orpm by following the link for VA Regulations Published From FY
2004 Through Fiscal Year to Date.
Regulatory Flexibility Act The Secretary hereby certifies that this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as they are defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601612.
Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605b, the initial and final regulatory flexibility analysis requirements of 5 U.S.C. 603
and 604 do not apply.
Unfunded Mandates The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 1532, that agencies prepare an assessment of

anticipated costs and benefits before issuing any rule that may result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more adjusted annually for inflation in any one year. This proposed rule would have no such effect on State, local, and tribal governments, or on the private sector.
