DATES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Contact Anjanette Suggs by telephone at 202–354–9660 or by email at suggs.anjanette@dol.gov. 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) administers the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA). The Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) administers the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) under statutes 5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq. Congress gave the Secretary of Labor authority to prescribe rules and regulations necessary for the administration and enforcement of the FECA. 5 U.S.C. 8149. The FECA requires the United States to provide compensation to individuals who sustain an injury while in the course of federal employment. 5 U.S.C. 8102. Part of the compensation Congress provided for federal employees is for scheduled impairments. 5 U.S.C. 8107. The Secretary is proposing a new schedule award filing process (with the implementation of a new form, CA–9, Claim for Schedule Impairment) to more PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 efficiently collect the information necessary to support a claim for a scheduled impairment when an injured employee has sustained permanent impairment to a member or function of the body pursuant to the FECA under Section 8107. Information collected on Form CA–9 provides OWCP with the statutory requirements for permanent impairment claims and must be used to claim compensation for impairment to a body part covered under the schedule established by 5 U.S.C. 8107. In the vast majority of cases whereby permanent impairment is claimed, a claimant continues to be employed by the federal government. In those cases, the Form CA–9 is completed by a federal employee and their supervisor, therefore not affecting the public, as contemplated under the PRA. See 5 CFR 1320.3(c)(3). The Form CA–9 is required of a member of the public on rare occasions, such as when compensation is claimed after the claimant’s federal employment has been terminated. It is estimated that no more than 775 of these forms are required of members of the public through the course of a year. Therefore, this request for clearance by OMB only pertains to a small percentage of the overall use of this particular form. 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 be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB Number 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.
