. If no public comment is received during the period allowed for comment or unless otherwise published in the
Federal Register
by VA, the modified system of records will become effective a minimum of 30 days after date of publication in the
Federal Register
. If VA receives public comments, VA shall review the comments to determine whether any changes to the notice are necessary.
