paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the
Employment Standards Administration
is soliciting comments concerning the
proposed collection: Provider
Enrollment Form (OWCP–1168). A copy
of the proposed information collection
request can be obtained by contacting
the office listed below in the ADDRESSES
section of this Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section below on or before
September 18, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
I. Background
The Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs (OWCP) is the agency
responsible for administration of the
Federal Employees’ Compensation Act
(FECA), 5 U.S.C. 8101, et seq., the Black
Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), 30 U.S.C. 901
et seq., the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation
Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA), 42
U.S.C. 7384 et seq., and the Longshore
and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act
(LHWCA), 33 U.S.C. 901 et seq. These
statutes require OWCP to pay for
medical services provided to
beneficiaries. In order for OWCP’s
billing contractor to pay providers of
these services with its automated bill
processing system, providers must
‘‘enroll’’ with one or more of the OWCP
programs that administer the statutes by
submitting certain profile information,
including identifying information, tax
I.D. information, and whether they
possess specialty or sub-specialty
training. Form OWCP–1168 is used to
obtain this information from each
provider. If this information is not
obtained before the provider submits his
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
or her first bill, the bill payment process
is prolonged and increases the burden
on providers. This information
collection is currently approved for use
through March 31, 2007.
II. Review Focus
The Department of Labor is
particularly interested in comments
which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions
The Department of Labor seeks
approval for the extension of this
information collection in order to carry
out a wide range of automated medical
bill ‘‘edits’’, such as, the identification
of duplicate billings, the application of
pertinent fee schedules that apply to the
programs, utilization review, and fraud
and abuse detection. This information is
also used to furnish timely and detailed
reports to providers on the status of
previously submitted bills.
Type of Review: Extension.
Agency: Employment Standards
Administration.
Title: Provider Enrollment Form.
OMB Number: 1215–0137.
Agency Number: OWCP–1168.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Total Respondents: 48,242.
Total Responses: 48,242.
Time per Response: 8 minutes.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 6,416.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
$0.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintenance): $20,262.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request; they will
also become a matter of public record.
