employer, documents the hours of work,
certifies the payment of wages to the
claimant for which reimbursement is
sought, and summarizes the nature and
costs of the wage reimbursement
program for a prompt decision by
OWCP. This information collection is
currently approved for use through
September 30, 2019.
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

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;
