I. Background
Division of Federal Employees’

Existing Approved Collection;
Comment Request

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

Compensation (CA–7); Authorization for
Examination and/or Treatment (CA–16);

the Services of an Attendant (CA–1090);
Referral to a Medical Specialist (CA–
1305); OWCP Requirements for
Audiological Examination (CA–1087);
Referral for a Complete Audiologic and
Otologic Examination (CA–1331);
Outline for Audiologic Examination
(CA–1332); Work Capacity Evaluation,
Psychiatric/Psychological Conditions
(OWCP–5a); Work Capacity Evaluation,
Cardiovascular/Pulmonary Conditions
(OWCP–5b); and Work Capacity
Evaluation, Musculoskeletal Conditions
(OWCP–5c). A copy of the proposed

Notice.
The Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs (OWCP) administers the
Federal Employees’ Compensation Act
(FECA), 5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq. The statute
provides for the payment of benefits for
wage loss and/or for permanent
impairment to a scheduled member,
arising out of a work related injury or
disease. The Act outlines the elements
of pay which are to be included in an
individual’s pay rate, and sets forth
various other criteria for determining
eligibility to and the amount of benefits,
including: Augmentation of basic
compensation for individuals with
qualifying dependents; a requirement to
report any earnings during a period that
compensation is claimed; a prohibition
against concurrent receipt of FECA
benefits and benefits from OPM or
certain VA benefits; a mandate that

money collected from a liable third
party found responsible for the injury
for which compensation has been paid
is applied to benefits paid or payable.
This information collection is currently
approved for use through January 31,
2018. This ICR has been classified as a
revision, because of a change to the CA–
1332, which will include additional

been diagnosed, has impacted a
claimant’s daily living and whether
such diagnosis is or isn’t due to federal
employment.

collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including

agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the

clarity of the information to be
