Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 49 / Monday, March 15, 2010 / Notices
intent to preserve the practical benefits
of utilizing consent decrees in antitrust
enforcement, stating: ‘‘[n]othing in this
section shall be construed to require the
court to conduct an evidentiary hearing
or to require the court to permit anyone
to intervene.’’ 15 U.S.C. § 16(e)(2). The
language wrote into the statute what
Congress intended when it enacted the
Tunney Act in 1974, as Senator Tunney
explained: ‘‘[t]he court is nowhere
compelled to go to trial or to engage in
extended proceedings which might have
the effect of vitiating the benefits of
prompt and less costly settlement
through the consent decree process.’’
119 Cong. Rec. 24,598 (1973) (statement
of Senator Tunney). Rather, the
procedure for the public interest
determination is left to the discretion of
the court, with the recognition that the
court’s ‘‘scope of review remains sharply
proscribed by precedent and the nature
of Tunney Act proceedings.’’ SBC
Commc’ns, 489 F. Supp. 2d at 11.4
VIII. DETERMINATIVE DOCUMENTS
There are no determinative materials
or documents within the meaning of the
APPA that were considered by the

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

(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: Notice of Law
Enforcement Officer’s Injury or
Occupational Disease (CA–721) and
Notice of Law Enforcement Officer’s
Death (CA–722). A copy of the proposed

law enforcement officers and their
survivors to claim compensation under
the FECA. Form CA–721 is used for
claims for injury. Form CA–722 is used
for claims for death. This information
collection is currently approved for use
through August 31, 2010.
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 the extension of approval
to collect this information to determine
eligibility for benefits.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP) is the
federal agency responsible for
administration of the War Hazards
Compensation Act (WHCA), 42 U.S.C.
1701 et seq. Under section 1704(a) of the
WHCA, an insurance carrier or selfinsured who has paid workers’
compensation benefits to or on account
of any person for a war-risk hazard may
seek reimbursement for benefits paid
(plus expenses) out of the Employment
Compensation Fund for the Federal
Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA)
at 5 U.S.C. 8147. Form CA–278 is used
by insurance carriers and the selfinsured to request reimbursement. The
information collected is used by OWCP
staff to process requests for
reimbursement of WHCA benefit
payments and claims expense that are
submitted by insurance carriers and
self-insureds. The information is also
used by OWCP to decide whether it
should opt to pay ongoing WHCA
benefits directly to the injured worker.
This information collection is currently
approved for use through August 31,
2010.
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor is particularly interested in
comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
