Jkt 226001
Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA)
and the Longshore and Harbor Workers’
Compensation Act (LHWCA). These acts
provide vocational rehabilitation
services to eligible workers with
disabilities. The FECA provides that the
OWCP may pay an individual
undergoing vocational rehabilitation a
maintenance allowance, not to exceed
$200 a month. The LHWCA provides
that persons undergoing such vocational
rehabilitation shall receive maintenance
allowances as additional compensation.
The Rehabilitation Maintenance
Certificate, Form OWCP–17, is used to
collect information necessary to
determine the amount of any
maintenance allowance to be paid. Form
OWCP–17, is submitted to the OWCP by
program participants or contractors the
agency hires to provide vocational
rehabilitation services requesting
payment of an additional rehabilitation
maintenance amount to cover incidental
costs of obtaining vocational
rehabilitation services. For example,
when a disabled worker attends a
training program, Form OWCP–17 may
be used to request reimbursement of
out-of-pocket costs such as travel
expenses. This ICR technically qualifies
as a revision under the PRA, because the
agency has reformatted elements of
Form OWCP–17 (e.g., replaced an
obsolete logo with the DOL Seal and
removed references to the no longer
existent Employment Standards
Administration).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1240–0012. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on June
30, 2012; however, it should be noted
that existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional information, see the related
notices published in the Federal
Register on February 9, 2012, (77 FR
6824) and April 5, 2012 (77 FR 20654).

order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Control Number 1240–

interested in comments that:
• 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 submission of
responses.
