                    SUBCHAPTER I--GENERAL AUTHORITIES
 
Sec. 502. Judicial review of rules and regulations

    An action of the Secretary to which section 552(a)(1) or 553 of 
title 5 (or both) refers (other than an action relating to the adoption 
or revision of the schedule of ratings for disabilities adopted under 
section 1155 of this title) is subject to judicial review. Such review 
shall be in accordance with chapter 7 of title 5 and may be sought only 
in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. However, 
if such review is sought in connection with an appeal brought under the 
provisions of chapter 72 of this title, the provisions of that chapter 
shall apply rather than the provisions of chapter 7 of title 5.
