SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL,
as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the OMB for
final approval. This program helps to
ensure requested data can be provided
in the desired format, reporting burden
(time and financial resources) is
minimized, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements can be properly
assessed.
Background: The Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP) is the
primary agency responsible for
administration of the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation
Program Act of 2000, as amended
(EEOICPA), 42 U.S.C. 7384 et seq.
EEOICPA provides for the payment of
compensation to covered employees
and, where applicable, survivors of
deceased employees, who sustained
either an ‘‘occupational illness’’ or a
‘‘covered illness’’ in the performance of
duty for the Department of Energy and
certain of its contractors and
subcontractors. One element of the
compensation provided to covered
employees is medical benefits for the
treatment of their occupational or
covered illnesses that are accepted as
compensable. OWCP contracts with a
private sector bill processing agent that
handles many of the tasks associated
with paying bills for medical treatment
provided to covered employees under
EEOICPA. This bill processing agent
uses an automated system that matches
incoming bills with the authorized
medical treatment of covered employees
before it issues payments, and a
provider of medical treatment, supplies
or services to covered employees must
provide the bill processing agent with
information necessary for creation of an
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703

authorization within the agent’s
automated system before a bill can be
paid. The collection of this information
is authorized by 20 CFR 30.400(a) and
(c), 30.403, 30.404(b) and 30.700. The
information collections in this ICR
collect demographic, factual and
medical information that OWCP and/or
its bill processing agent needs to process
bills for medical treatment, supplies or
services.
DOL authorizes this information
collection. 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 the
OMB under the PRA approves it 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.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Written
comments will receive consideration,
and summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval of the final
ICR. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB# 1240–0NEW.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential
business data, or other sensitive
statements/information in any
comments.
The 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.
• 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,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract:
This collection of information
supports NASA’s term and condition
regarding sexual harassment, other
forms of harassment, and sexual assault.
This term and condition requires
recipient organizations to report to
NASA any findings/determinations of
sexual harassment, other forms of
harassment, or sexual assault regarding
a NASA funded PI or Co-I. The new
term and condition will also require the
recipient to report to NASA if the PI or
Co-I is placed on administrative leave or
if the recipient has imposed any
administrative action on the PI or Co-I,
or any determination or an investigation
of an alleged violation of the recipient’s
policies or codes of conduct, statutes,
regulations, or executive orders relating
to sexual harassment, other forms of
harassment, or sexual assault.
In reviewing harassment notifications
pursuant to the term and condition, it
will be necessary for the Agency to have
complete information provided in a
consistent manner. The information
provided will be used by the Agency to
assess the matters reported and to
consult with the Authorized
Organizational Representative (AOR), or
designee of the reporting institution.
Based on the results of this review and
consultation, NASA may, if necessary,
assert its programmatic stewardship
responsibilities and oversight authority
to initiate the substitution or removal of
the PI or any co-PI, reduce the award
funding amount, or where neither of
those previous options is available or
adequate, to suspend or terminate the
award.
