          Subject: Department of Veterans Affairs: Traumatic Injury Protection Rider to
                  Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance

          Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), entitled
          Traumatic Injury Protection Rider to Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (RIN:
          2900-AM36). We received the rule on March 7, 2007. It was published in the Federal
          Registeras a final rule on March 8, 2007. 72 Fed. Reg. 10362.

          The final rule implements section 1032 of Public Law 109-13, which established an
          automatic traumatic injury protection rider to the Servicemembers' Group Life
          Insurance program for any insured servicemember who sustains certain serious
          traumatic injuries.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the VA's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that VA complied with the applicable requirements.
