Proposed Extension of the Approval of Information Collection 
Requirements

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to 
reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance 
consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing 
collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA95). This program helps to ensure that 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 on respondents 
can be properly assessed. Currently, the Office of Workers' 
Compensation Programs is soliciting comments concerning the proposed 
collection: Rehabilitation Plan and Award (OWCP-16). A copy of the 
proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting 
the office listed below in the addresses section of this notice.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the 
addresses section below on or before October 10, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by mail, delivery service, or by 
hand to Ms. Yoon Ferguson, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution 
Ave. NW., Room S-3323, Washington, DC 20210; by fax to (202) 354-9647; 
or by Email to [email protected]. Please use only one method of 
transmission for comments (mail/delivery, fax, or Email). Please note 
that comments submitted after the comment period will not be 
considered.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) is the agency 
responsible for administration of the Longshore and Harbor Workers' 
Compensation Act (LHWCA), 33 U.S.C. 901 et seq., and the Federal 
Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), 5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq. Both of these 
acts authorize OWCP to pay for approved vocational rehabilitation 
services to eligible workers with work-related disabilities. In order 
to decide whether to approve a rehabilitation plan, OWCP must receive a 
copy of the plan, supporting vocational testing materials and the 
estimated cost to implement the plan, broken down to show the fees, 
supplies, tuition and worker maintenance payments that are 
contemplated. OWCP also must receive the signature of the 
rehabilitation counselor to show that the proposed plan is appropriate. 
Form OWCP-16 is the standard format for the collection of this 
information. The regulations implementing these statutes allow for the 
collection of information needed for OWCP to determine if a 
rehabilitation plan should be approved and payment of any related 
expenses should be authorized. This information collection is currently 
approved for use through September 30, 2017.

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;

[[Page 37122]]

    * 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

rehabilitation plan should be approved and payment of any related 
expenses authorized.
