Proposed Rule.
Proposed Rule.
SUMMARY
The
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations
to implement a statutory mandate that VA provide health care to certain
veterans who served at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, for at least 30
days during the period beginning on January 1, 1957, and ending on
December 31, 1987. The law requires VA to furnish hospital care and
medical services for these veterans for certain illnesses and conditions
that may be attributed to exposure to toxins in the water system at
Camp Lejeune. This proposed rule does not implement the statutory
provision requiring VA to provide health care to these veterans' family
members; regulations applicable to such family members are currently in
development and will be promulgated through a separate notice.
