ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

In a document published in the Federal Register on February 14, 2002 (67 FR 6872), we amended VA's adjudication regulations to provide for payment of special monthly compensation for a woman veteran who loses one or both breasts as a result of service-connected disability. The document contains typographical errors in the “Note” at the end of diagnostic code 7626 in § 4.116 “Schedule or ratings—gynecological conditions and disorders of the breast.” This document corrects those typographical errors.
