| last deceased spouse | the most recently deceased individual who was married to the surviving spouse at that individual's death, except that an individual dying before calendar year 2011 cannot be considered the last deceased spouse of such surviving spouse. The temporary regulations in §§ 20.2010-3T(a)(3) and 25.2505-2T(a)(3) clarify that remarriage alone does not affect who will be considered the last deceased spouse and does not prevent the surviving spouse from including in the surviving spouse's applicable exclusion amount the DSUE amount of the deceased spouse who most recently preceded the surviving spouse in death. The temporary regulations further clarify that the identity of the last deceased spouse of the surviving spouse for purposes of portability is not affected by whether the estate of the last deceased spouse elects portability of the deceased spouse's DSUE amount or whether the last deceased spouse has any DSUE amount available. This is consistent with the statutory language, which refers to the “last deceased spouse of such surviving spouse” without further qualification, as well as with the Technical Explanation, which states that “[t]he last deceased spouse limitation applies whether or not the last deceased spouse has any unused exclusion or the last deceased spouse's estate makes a timely election.” JCX-55-10, at page 52, n. 57; see also General Explanation, JCS-2-11, at page 554, n. 1582. | United States | 77 FR 36150 |

| limited/suggestive evidence of an association | that “[e]vidence is suggestive of an association between TBI and a specific health outcome in human studies but is limited because chance, bias, and confounding could not be ruled out with reasonable confidence.” Based on our independent review and analysis of these two research studies, we agree with the IOM's conclusion. In the Bower study, there was insufficient differentiation of data to determine how many subjects had mild TBI with LOC, and the study has limited utility for our purposes because of broad confidence intervals and the possibility that mild TBI could not be identified based solely on a review of the medical records. The Goldman study concluded solely that there was an increased risk of Parkinson's disease in patients that had TBI with LOC or post-traumatic amnesia and no association between duration of LOC and Parkinson's disease. VA does not believe that the available scientific evidence warrants expanding the list of conditions in paragraph (d)(1)(i) to include mild TBI with LOC, and so we make no changes based on this comment. | United States | 78 FR 76196 |
