SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
Middle Class Tax Relief and Job
Creation Act of 2012, Subtitle D, ShortTime Compensation Program, also
known as the Layoff Prevention Act of
2012, concerns States that currently
participate in, or wish to initiate a new
program in, a layoff aversion program
known as short time compensation
(STC) or worksharing. The law requires
applications, new administrative
processes, monitoring, and reporting of
data between State Workforce Agencies
(SWAs) and the ETA. The ETA has
principal oversight responsibility for the
Unemployment Insurance (UI) program
that SWAs operate. The ETA has
developed data collections for the
proper oversight of State STC programs,
because of the many changes to the
funding and administration of the UI
system introduced in the Layoff
Prevention Act.
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 1205–0499. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
December 31, 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 notice published in the Federal
Register on August 13, 2012 (77 FR
48175).

this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Control Number 1205–
0499. The OMB is particularly
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.

The
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, 30 U.S.C. 901 et seq., and
the Energy Employees Occupational
Illness Compensation Program Act of
2000, 42 U.S.C. 7384 et seq. All three of
these statutes require the OWCP to pay
for covered medical treatment provided
to beneficiaries; this medical treatment
can include medicinal drugs dispensed
by pharmacies. In order to determine
whether amounts billed for drugs are
appropriate, the OWCP must receive the
required data elements—including the
name of the patient/beneficiary, the
National Drug Code number of each
drug prescribed, the quantity provided,
the prescription number and the date
the prescription was filled. The
regulations implementing these statutes
require the collection of information
needed to enable the OWCP to
determine whether bills for drugs
submitted directly by pharmacies or as
reimbursement requests submitted by
claimants should be paid. See 20 CFR
10.801, 30.701, 725.701 and 725.705.
