SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL,
as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for final
approval. This program helps to ensure
requested data can be provided in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements can be properly assessed.
Background: The Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP)

Compensation Act, which provides for
continuation of pay or compensation for
work related injuries or disease that
result from Federal employment. Under
5 U.S.C. 8149, the Secretary of Labor
may prescribe rules and regulations
necessary for the administration and
enforcement of this subchapter.
Regulation 20 CFR 10.104 designates
form CA–2a as the form to be used to
request information from claimants with
previously-accepted injuries, who claim
a recurrence of disability, and from their
supervisors. The form requests
information relating to the specific
circumstances leading up to the
recurrence as well as information about
their employment and earnings. The
information provided is used by OWCP
claims examiners to determine whether
a claimant has sustained a recurrence of
disability related to an accepted injury
and, if so, the appropriate benefits
payable. This information collection is
currently approved for use through
November 30, 2020.
DOL authorizes this information
collection. This information collection
is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a
collection of information, and the public
is generally not required to respond to
an information collection, unless the
OMB under the PRA approves it and
displays a currently valid OMB Control
Number. In addition, notwithstanding
any other provisions of law, no person
shall generally be subject to penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of
information that does not display a
valid Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Written
comments will receive consideration,
and summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval of the final
ICR. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB# 1240–0009.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential
business data, or other sensitive
statements/information in any
comments.
The DOL is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility.

• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information 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.
