8106 Name of Law: Federal Employees' Compensation Act
There is a reduction in the
number of respondents from the previous submission of 154 to 34, a
decrease in 120. Accordingly, the previous cost burden amount of
$74 is adjusted to $20 a decrease of $54. The previous burden hours
of 39 is adjusted to 9, a difference of 30. The adjustments are
resultant from a decrease in the number of claims for wage loss
filed by former federal employees in which earnings information is
sought from a private employer. There is only one revision to the
letter with the accommodation statement which is found at the
bottom of the letter. The current approved version reflects the
following statement “If you have a disability (a substantially
limiting physical or mental impairment), please contact our
office/claims examiner for information about the kinds of help
available, such as communication assistance (alternate formats or
sign language interpretation), accommodations and modifications.”
The revision will reflect the following: “If you have a disability
and are in need of communication assistance (such as alternate
formats or sign language interpretation), accommodations and/or
modifications, please contact OWCP.”
