Form OWCP-915 is used to claim
reimbursement for out-of-pocket covered medical expenses paid by a
beneficiary, and must be accompanied by required billing data
elements (prepared by the medical provider) and by proof of payment
by the beneficiary.
US Code:
42
USC 7384 Name of Law: Energy Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA)
US Code: 5 USC
8101 Name of Law: Employees Compensation Act
US Code: 30
USC 901 Name of Law: Black Lung Benefits Act
As use of the OWCP-915 form
decreases, the total number submitted also decreases. For this
reason there is a net Burden adjustment decrease of 6,877 hours.
While not expected to change respondent burden, this ICR has been
characterized as a revision because the agency has reformatted
elements of Form OWCP-915 (e.g., replaced an obsolete logo with the
DOL Seal, OMB Control Number, additional notice on rights for
persons with disabilities, and removed references to the no longer
existent Employment Standards Administration). Upon OMB's clearance
of this request OWCP will update the form to show the new
expiration date.
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 following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
