SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) is the agency 
responsible for administration of the Federal Employees' Compensation 
Act (FECA), 5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq., the Black Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), 
30 U.S.C. 901 et seq., and the Energy Employees Occupational Illness 
Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA), 42 U.S.C. 7384 et seq. All 
three statutes require OWCP to pay for covered medical treatment that 
is provided to beneficiaries, and also to reimburse beneficiaries for 
any out-of-pocket covered medical expenses they have paid. Form OWCP-
915, Claim for Medical Reimbursement, is used for this purpose and 
collects the necessary beneficiary and medical provider data in a 
standard format. Regulations implementing the FECA, BLBA and EEOICPA 
programs require the collection of information that is needed to 
determine if reimbursement claims submitted by beneficiaries can be 
paid. (20 CFR 10.802, 30.702, 725.701 and 725.705). This information 
collection is currently approved for use through January 31, 2016.

II. Review Focus

    The Department of Labor is particularly interested in comments 
which:
    * 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 
submissions of responses.

III. Current Actions

    The Department of Labor seeks the approval of the extension of this 
currently approved information collection in order to carry out its 
responsibility to provide payment for certain covered medical services 
to injured employees who are covered under the Acts.
