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 Office of
Management and Budget (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.
The Department of Labor (DOL) is
requesting an approval of an
information collection as a result of the
Sam Farr and Nick Castle Peace Corps
Reform Act of 2018 (Farr-Castle), which
modified various aspects of the Peace
Corps, including changes to the
provision of health care to volunteers.
Peace Corps Volunteers are in the
performance of duty while abroad
during the period of Peace Corps service
for purposes of FECA coverage. An
injury sustained outside the United
States during service is deemed
proximately caused by such service,
unless the injury or illness was
proximately caused by willful
misconduct, intention to bring about
injury or death, or intoxication.
Under the provisions of the FECA, 5
U.S.C. 8142 of the FECA provides that,
(a) For the purpose of this section,
‘‘volunteer’’ means—
(1) a volunteer enrolled in the Peace
Corps under section 2504 of title 22;
(2) a volunteer leader enrolled in the
Peace Corps under section 2505 of title
22; and
(3) an applicant for enrollment as a
volunteer or volunteer leader during a
period of training under section 2507(a)
of title 22 before enrollment.
Entitlement to disability
compensation payments does not
commence until the day after the date
of termination of service as a volunteer.
5 U.S.C. 8142(b).
Farr-Castle—directs the Secretary of
the Department of Labor to authorize the
Director of the Peace Corps to furnish
medical benefits to a volunteer, who is
injured during the volunteer’s period of
service, for a period of 120 days
following the termination of such
service if the Director certifies that the
volunteer’s injury probably meets the
requirements set forth in 5 U.S.C.
8142(c)(3).

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 213 / Friday, November 4, 2022 / Notices
To this end, the Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP) and
the Peace Corps collaborated on this
form which authorizes medical
treatment for recently terminated Peace
Corps volunteers who require medical
treatment for injuries/exposure
sustained in the performance of their
volunteer service. Issuance of this form
is solely at the discretion of the Peace
Corps and bridges the gap between the
occurrence of an initial injury and/or
disease exposure and the actual
adjudication of a claim by OWCP. This
form helps to ensure that recently
terminated volunteers receive prompt
medical care, without delay, for a period
of 120 days following separation from
service. The collection of this
information is authorized under 5 CFR
1320.3(c)(3), and 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–1240–0059.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

• 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 submission of
responses.
