(2) submit to the Committees on Veterans Affairs of the House of Representatives and the Senate the results of the review, which may serve as a guide for coverage increases within the existing administrative incremental structure.
(b) Amount Described.— The amount described in this subsection is the amount equal to—
(1) $500,000; multiplied by
(2) the average percentage by which the Consumer Price Index changed during the five fiscal years preceding the review under subsection (a).
