SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An attorney or other representative may

[[Page 8252]]

represent an individual filing for compensation benefits with the OWCP. 
The representative is entitled to request a fee for services under the 
Federal Employees' Compensation Act and under the Longshore and Harbor 
Workers' Compensation Act; however, the OWCP must approve the fee 
before the representative can make any demand for payment. This ICR 
sets forth the criteria for the information the respondent must present 
in order to have the fee approved by the OWCP. The information 
collection does not impose a particular form or format for the 
application, provided all required information is presented. The 
Federal Employees' Compensation Act and Longshore and Harbor Workers' 
Compensation Act authorize this information collection. See 5 U.S.C. 
8127 and 33 U.S.C. 928.
    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 it is approved by the OMB under the PRA 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. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1240-0049.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the DOL seeks to extend PRA authorization 
for this information collection for three (3) more years, without any 
change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that existing 
information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a 
month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For additional 
substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice 
published in the Federal Register on September 11, 2015 (80 FR 54804).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1240-0049. 
The OMB 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.
    Agency: DOL-OWCP.
    Title of Collection: Representative Fee Request.
    OMB Control Number: 1240-0049.
    Affected Public: Private Sector--businesses or other for-profits.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 9,307.
    Total Estimated Number of Responses: 9,307.
    Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 4,654 hours.
