SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

VA is amending its final rule 2900-AR09, Nomenclature Change for Position Title to fix technical errors published on September 15, 2021, in the Federal Register at 86 FR 51274. Specifically, in updating the position title of “Director, Loan Guaranty Service” to “Executive Director, Loan Guaranty Service”, references to “Deputy Director, Loan Guaranty Service” and “Assistant Director, Loan Guaranty Service” were inadvertently updated as well.
