How long will the rules in the special senses and speech body system be in effect?
We are extending the effective date of the special senses and speech body system in parts A and B of the listings until 5 years after the effective date of these final rules, except we intend to revise the Disturbance of labyrinthine-vestibular function and Loss of speech listings before then. The rules will remain in effect only until that date unless we extend them. We will continue to monitor the rules and may revise them before the end of the 5-year period.
