II. Review Focus
DOL 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;
and also the agency’s estimates
associated with the annual burden cost
incurred by respondents and the
government cost associated with this
collection of information;
• 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
In order to meet its statutory
responsibilities under the INA, the
Department needs to extend an existing
collection of information pertaining to
labor condition applications that are
used in the H–1B, H–1B1, and E–3 visa
programs and allow employers to bring
foreign labor to the U.S. on a temporary
basis.
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 that 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 1205–0310. OMB authorization
for an ICR cannot be for more than three

(3) years without renewal, and the
current approval for this collection is
scheduled to expire on May 31, 2018.
The DOL seeks to extend PRA
authorization for this revised
information collection for three (3) more
years.
In the past the respondents have been
for-profit businesses and not-for-profit
institutions. On rare occasions the
respondents have been local, State,
tribal governments, or the Federal
government. The Secretary uses the
collected information to determine if
employers are meeting their statutory
and regulatory obligations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: 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–
16. As DFEC is focusing more on
program integrity issues, in particular
medical billing, and to strengthen efforts
to reduce potential fraud and abuse, this
form is intimately tied to those efforts
and DFEC would like to incorporate
recent and upcoming policy changes
(e.g., new guidance/forms for compound
and opioid medications—OMB 1240–
0055). The proposed revisions provide
more clarification regarding who may be
authorized to initiate the CA–16 and
who is authorized to provide medical
treatment, to include qualifications and
definitions of these authorization
officials. Further clarification is
provided regarding non-authorization
for compound medication and the
requirements to be enrolled with our
Medical Bill Processing Contractor to
receive payments for services rendered.
