Proposed Extension of Existing
Collection; Comment Request
ACTION:
Notice.
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 its
proposal to extend OMB approval of the
information collection: Statement of
Recovery (SOR) Forms (CA–1108 and
CA–1122). 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
SUMMARY:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: Under section 8131 a
Federal employee can sustain a workrelated injury, for which he or she is
eligible for compensation under the
Federal Employees’ Compensation Act
(FECA), under circumstance that create
a legal liability in some third party to
pay damages for the same injury. When
this occurs, section 8131 of the FECA (5
U.S.C. 8131) authorizes the Secretary of
Labor to either require the employee to
assign his or her right of action to the
United States or to prosecute the action.
When the employee receives a payment
for his or her damages, whether from a
final court judgment on or a settlement
of the action, section 8132 of the FECA
(5 U.S.C. 8132) provides that the
employee ‘‘shall refund to the United
States that amount of compensation
paid by the United States * * *.’’ To
enforce the United States’ statutory right
to this refund, the Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP) has
promulgated regulations that require
both the reporting of these types of
payments (20 CFR 10.710) and the
submission of the type of detailed
information necessary to calculate the
amount of the required refund (20 CFR
10.707(e)). The information collected by
Form CA–1122 is requested from the
claimant if he or she received a payment
for damages without hiring an attorney.
Form CA–1108 requests this
information from the attorney if one was
hired to bring suit against the third
party. If SOL is contacted directly, SOL
would provide the attorney the CA–
1108. Furthermore, by memorandum of
agreement between OWCP with the
United States Postal Service (USPS),
USPS may administer the third party
aspects of certain cases. The USPS must

follow the guidelines established by
OWCP for processing any funds
recovered from the third party,
including the use of the OMB-approved
SOR. This information collection is
currently approved for use through June
30, 2012.
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 approval for the
extension of this currently approved
information collection in order to
exercise its responsibility to enforce the
United States’ right to this refund. These
forms will be used to obtain information
about amounts received as the result of
a final judgment in litigation, or a
settlement of the litigation, brought
against a third party who is liable for
damages due to compensable workrelated injury.
