End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental InformationSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Currently, a claimant who disagrees with a decision by a Veterans Service Center may appeal that decision by filing a notice of disagreement (NOD). Under 38 CFR 3.2600, a claimant who has filed a timely NOD may also obtain de novo review of the decision of the Veterans Service Center by requesting such review with the NOD or within 60 days after the date that VA mails notice of the availability of de novo review. We proposed reducing that 60-day period to 15 days. However, we have determined that revision of the de novo review process is unnecessary at this time. Therefore, we are withdrawing the proposal.
