Form 83-C was submitted to OMB on July
11, 2006 requesting approval for the Spanish-language versions of
approved Forms EE-1, EE-2, EE-3, EE-4, and EE-7 for use in this
information collection. The inclusion of these forms will not
increase the previously approved burden hours. These forms are
required to determine a claimant's eligibility for compensation
under the EEOICPA, and are required to enable eligible claimants to
receive benefits. The Spanish versions of the forms listed above
will be available for electronic submission once approval for use
is received from OMB.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
