SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs (OWCP) is the 

primary agency responsible for the 

administration of the Energy Employees 

Occupational Illness Compensation 

Program Act of 2000, as amended 

(EEOICPA or Act), 42 U.S.C. 7384 et seq. 

The Act provides for timely payment of 

compensation to covered employees 

and, where applicable, survivors of such 

employees, who sustained either 

‘‘occupational illnesses’’ or ‘‘covered 

illnesses’’ incurred in the performance 

of duty for the Department of Energy 

and certain of its contractors and 

subcontractors. The Act sets forth 

eligibility criteria for claimants for 

compensation under Part B and Part E 

of the Act, and outlines the various 

elements of compensation payable from 

the Fund established by the Act. The 

information collections in this ICR 

collect demographic, factual and 

medical information needed to 

determine entitlement to benefits under 

the EEOICPA. This information 

collection is currently approved for use 

through August 31, 2010. 

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 approval for the revision 

of this information collection in order to 

carry out its responsibility to determine 

a claimant’s eligibility for compensation 

under the EEOICPA.
