SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Correction
In FR. Doc. 2024–01535 appearing at
89 FR 5263 in the Federal Register of
Friday, January 26, 2024, on page 5264,
in the third column, the following
corrections are made to the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section, I.
Background subsection:
1. The first four full paragraphs of that
third column are corrected to read as
follows:
OWCP believes that the the two forms
used to monitor compound and opiate
medication further strengthens medical
management procedures for prescription
drugs, assist our stakeholders in
controlling costs afrom medically
unnecessary treatements, and lessens
the impact of potential drug addiction
and medical fraud. However, OWCP is
bifurcating the CA–26 from this
collection so that it may be transferred
to 1240–0NEW where it will be renamed
OWCP–26. (The OWCP–26 will be
updated to be applicable in all of
OWCP’s program areas; otherwise, it
will remain the same. The public and
stakeholders for all programs will have
opportunity to comment on the new
form with the upcoming publication of
the 60-day Federal Register Notice for
1240–0NEW.)
A major goal of the FECA program is
to return an injured employee back to
employment as soon as medically
feasible. The CA–27 form is a means for
injured workers to continue receiving
opiod drugs only where medically
necessary and simultaneously gives
OWCP greater oversight in monitoring
opioid use.
OWCP has issued regulations relating
to its authority to require prior
authorization for medical treatment
which will now be applied through the
CA–27 to opioids. (20 CFR 10.310,
10.800 & 10.809). Requiring Prior
Authorization will assist OWCP in
determining whether the prescribed
medication will assist in curing, giving
relief, and lessening the degree of
disability. FECA further provides OWCP
the authority to conduct such
investigation as necessary before making
an award of compensation (including
the need for medical treatment by
certain prescription drugs). 5 U.S.C.
8124(a)(2). Finally, 5 U.S.C. 8149
provides OWCP the authority to
prescribe rules and regulations
necessary for the administration of
FECA.
PO 00000
Frm 00075

Sfmt 4703
As such, the CA–27, Authorization
Request form and Certification/Letter of
Medical Necessity or Opioid
Medications, fulfill these requirements
and obligations under the FECA.
2. On page 5265, in the first column,
the following corrections are made to
the summary of the collection contained
in subsection III. Current Actions:
Type of Review: Revision.
