The previous approved number of
annual responses, 2,832 is being reduced to 842, which represent a
reduction of 1,990. The currently approved number of hours is 1,346
and the requested number of hours is 419, a decrease of 927.
Likewise, costs burden is now estimated at $219 versus the
previously approved $1,360, which represents a decrease of $1,141.
Decrease in these numbers is suggested as a result of SOL
implementing a more accurate system for monitoring all third-party
matters, resulting in a more accurate method of estimating the
number of respondents. Additionally, as SOL and respondents are
using electronic means, costs associated with mailing have reduced
approximately 50 percent. Summary of revisions to these letters are
the following: CA-1108 – • The letter has been expanded to
automatically calculate attorney fee/court costs when data is
entered into items 9 and 11. • A statement was added on page one of
the form to advise beneficiaries of their net entitlement of
money/property remaining after expenses of a suit/settlement has
been settled. • The Instructions were expanded in Lines 9 and 11 to
include a statement regarding calculations of attorney fee/court
costs. • At the bottom of the Instructions, the OWCP File Number is
