(time and financial resources) is

collection requirements on respondents
can be properly assessed. Currently, the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The collection of this
information is necessary under
provisions of the Federal Employees’
Compensation Act (FECA) which states:
(1) Compensation must be adjusted to
reflect a claimant’s earnings while in
receipt of benefits (5 U.S.C. 8106); (2)
compensation is payable at the
augmented rate of 75 percent only if the
claimant has one or more dependents as
defined by the FECA (5 U.S.C. 8110); (3)
compensation may not be paid
concurrently with certain benefits from
other Federal Agencies, such as the
Office of Personnel Management, Social
Security, and the Veterans
Administration (5 U.S.C. 8116); (4)
compensation must be adjusted to
reflect any settlement from a third party
responsible for the injury for which the
claimant is being paid compensation (5
U.S.C. 8132); (5) an individual
convicted of any violation related to
fraud in the application for, or receipt
of, any compensation benefit, forfeits (as
of the date of such conviction) any
entitlement to such benefits, for any
injury occurring on or before the date of
conviction (5 U.S.C. 8148(a)); (6) no
Federal compensation benefit can be
paid to any individual for any period
during which such individual is
incarcerated for any felony offense (5
U.S.C. 8148(b)(1)). The information
collected through Form CA–1032 is
used to ensure that compensation being
paid on the periodic roll is correct. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through May 31, 2017.
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.
