VA Removes Obsolete Rural Veterans Coordination Pilot Regulations

The Department of Veterans Affairs is officially removing its regulations for a grant program that ended years ago. The agency is clearing out 38 CFR part 64 from the Code of Federal Regulations because the statutory authority for the Grants for the Rural Veterans Coordination Pilot expired and was not renewed.

Why it matters: This is a housekeeping action rather than a policy change. The practical effect is simply that the VA’s rulebook no longer contains text for a program that does not exist. It prevents confusion for anyone who might mistakenly believe the Rural Veterans Coordination Pilot is still accepting applications or has active funding.

Who it affects

• Community-based organizations and local government entities that previously applied for these grants (though the program has been closed since 2017).
