SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSHA
does not mandate that employers
establish fire brigades; however, if they
do so, they must comply with certain
provisions of the Standard. The
Standard imposes the following
paperwork requirements on each
employer who establishes a fire brigade:
Write an organizational statement;
ascertain the fitness of workers with
specific medical conditions to
participate in fire related operations;
and provide appropriate training and
information to fire brigade members. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
November 22, 2023 (88 FR 81435).
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
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 OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:06 Feb 09, 2024
Jkt 262001
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
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.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
OWCP is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to the DEEOIC
Authorization Forms, EE–22, EE–24,
EE–26, EE–28, EE–30, EE–32. OWCP/
DEEOIC is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of OWCP/
DEEOIC/s estimate of the burden related
to the information collection, including
the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used in the estimate;
• Suggest methods to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
information collection 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.
Background documents related to this
information collection request are
