SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) provides, under 5
U.S.C. 8191, et seq. and 20 CFR 10.735, that non-Federal law
enforcement officers injured or killed under certain circumstances are
entitled to the benefits of the Act, to the same extent as if they were
employees of the Federal Government. The CA-721 and CA-722 are used by
non-Federal law enforcement officers and their survivors to claim
compensation under the FECA. Form CA-721 is used for claims for injury.
Form CA-722 is used for claims for death. The authority for this
collection is 5 U.S.C. 8191-8193.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
OWCP/DFELHWC is soliciting comments concerning the proposed
information collection related to the Notice of Law Enforcement
Officer's Injury or Occupational Disease (CA-721) and Notice of Law
Enforcement Officer's Death (CA-722). OWCP/DFELHWC 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/DFELHWC'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.
