Division of Federal Employees' Compensation; Proposed Extension 
of the Approval of Information Collection Requirements

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to 
reduce 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 Office of Workers' Compensation Programs is soliciting 
comments concerning the proposed collection: Claim for Compensation by 
Dependents Information Reports (CA-5, CA-5b, CA-1031, CA1074, Letter of 
Compensation Due at Death and Letter of Student/Dependency). A copy of 
the proposed information collection request can be obtained by

Notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The forms included in this package are forms used by Federal 
employees and their dependents to claim benefits, to prove continued 
eligibility for benefits, to show entitlement to remaining compensation 
payments of a deceased employee and to show dependency under the 
Federal Employees' Compensation Act. There are six forms in this 
information collection request. The information collected by Forms CA-
5, is used by dependents for claiming compensation for the work related 
death of a Federal Employee and CA-5b is used by other survivors. Form 
CA-1031 is used in disability cases and provides information to 
determine whether a claimant is actually supporting a dependent and is 
entitled to additional compensation. Form CA-1074 is a follow up to CA-
5b to request clarification of any information that is unclear and 
incomplete in the CA-5b. The letter of ``Compensation Due at Death'' is 
used to request information necessary to distribute compensation due 
when an employee dies who was receiving or who was entitled to 
compensation at the time of death for either disability benefits or a 
scheduled award. The letter of ``Student/Dependency'' is used to obtain 
information regarding the student status of a dependent. When a child 
reaches 18 years of age, they are no longer considered an eligible 
dependent unless they are a full time student or incapable of self-
support. This information collection is currently approved for use 
through May 31, 2010.
