The public reporting burden for this data collection is estimated to average seven minutes per response. The burden estimate includes the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and submitting the form. This collection of information is mandatory, as it is needed by OWCP and authorized by 5 USC 8101 et seq., 30 USC 901 et seq., and 42 USC 7384d to collect this information to administer the FECA, BLBA and EEOICPA. The information collected is used to identify the eligibility of the claimant for benefits, and to determine coverage of services provided. Please send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information including suggestions for reducing this burden, and reference OMB control number 1240-0037 to the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, Department of Labor, Room S3522, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20210; and to the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (1240-0037), Washington, DC 20503.

We are authorized by OWCP to ask you for information needed in the administration of the FECA, Black Lung and EEOICPA programs. Authority to collect information is in 5 USC 8101 et seq.; 30 USC 901 et seq.; 38 USC 613; E.O. 9397; and 42 USC 7384d, 20 CFR 30.11 and E.O. 13179. The information we obtain to complete claims under these programs is used to identify you and to determine your eligibility. It is also used to decide if the services and supplies you received are covered by these programs and to ensure that proper payment is made. Your response regarding the medical service(s) received or the amount charged is required to receive payment for the claim. See 20 CFR §§ 10.801, 30.701, 725.406, 725.701, and 725.704. Failure to furnish information regarding the medical service(s) received or the amount charged will prevent payment on the claim. The information may also be given to other providers of services, carriers, intermediaries, medical review boards, health plans, and other organizations or Federal agencies, for the effective administration of Federal provisions that require other third-party payers to pay primary to Federal programs, and as otherwise necessary to administer these programs. For example, it may be necessary to disclose information about the benefits you have used to a hospital or doctor. Additional disclosures are made through routine uses for information contained in systems of records. See Department of Labor systems DOUGOVT-1, DOUESA-5, DOL/ESA-6, DOU ESA-29, DOL/ESA-30, DOL/ESA-43, DOL/ESA-44, DOUESA-49 and DOL/ESA-50 published in the Federal Register, Vol. 67, page 16816, Mon.
