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.
The Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs (OWCP) is the agency
responsible for administration of the
Federal Employees’ Compensation Act
(FECA), 5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq., the Black
Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), 30 U.S.C. 901
et seq., and the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation
Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA), 42
U.S.C. 7384 et seq. All three of these
statutes require that OWCP reimburse
beneficiaries for travel expenses for
covered medical treatment. In order to
determine whether amounts requested
as travel expenses are appropriate,
OWCP must receive certain data
elements, including the signature of the
physician for medical expenses claimed
under the BLBA. Form OWCP–957 is
the standard format for the collection of
these data elements. The regulations
implementing these three statutes allow
