Comments and questions about the ICR 

listed below should be received 5 days 

prior to the requested OMB approval 

date. 

The OMB 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

are to respond, including through the

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

Agency: Division of Federal 

Employment Compensation. 

Title of Collection: Death Gratuity 

Benefit. 

OMB Control Number: 1215–AB66. 

Frequency of Collection: On Occasion. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

household; Federal Government. 

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 15 

minutes. 

Total Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 2,635. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden 

Hours: 659. 

Total Estimated Annual Costs Burden 

(excluding hour costs): $0. 

Description: The National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, 

Public Law 110–181, was enacted on 

January 28, 2008. Section 1105 of Public 

Law 110–181 amended the Federal 

Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) 

creating a new section 8102a effective 

upon enactment. This section will 

establish a new FECA death gratuity 

benefit for eligible beneficiaries of 

federal employees and NonAppropriated Fund Instrumentality 

(NAFI) employees who die from injuries 

incurred in connection with service 

with an Armed Force in a contingency 

operation. Section 8102a also permits 

agencies to authorize retroactive 

payment of the death gratuity for 

employees who died on or after October 

7, 2001, in service with an Armed Force 

in the theater of operations of Operation 

Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi 

Freedom. To help it exercise its 

responsibility to administer this benefit, 

the Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs (OWCP) has promulgated an 

interim final rule. The statute and 

regulations allow for employees to vary 

the statutory order of precedence for 

beneficiaries and to designate 

alternative recipients of this benefit. 

Form CA–40 requests the information 

necessary from the employee to 

accomplish this variance. Form CA–41 

provides the means for those named 

beneficiaries and possible recipients to 

file claims for those benefits and 

requests information from such 

claimants so that OWCP may determine 

their eligibility for payment. 

Furthermore, the statute and regulations 

require agencies to notify OWCP 

immediately upon the death of a 

covered employee. CA–42 provides the 

means to accomplish this notification 

and requests information necessary to 

administer any claim for benefits 

resulting from such a death. 

Why are we requesting Emergency 

Processing? In accordance with 5 CFR 

1320.13, emergency processing of this 

collection is essential to the mission of 

the agency, and the agency cannot 

reasonably comply with the normal 

clearance procedures under this Part 

because the use of normal clearance 

procedures is reasonably likely to 

prevent or disrupt the collection of 

information or is reasonably likely to 

cause a statutory deadline to be missed. 

The agency has taken all practicable 

steps to consult with interested agencies 

and members of the public to minimize 

the burden of the collection of this 

information. 

Under 5 CFR 1320.13, it is requested 

that this collection be submitted and 

approved on an emergency basis. Under 

the National Defense Authorization Act 

for FY2008, an amendment to the FECA 

allows for immediate death gratuity 

payments to eligible survivors of 

Federal employees and employees of 

nonappropriated funded 

instrumentalities (NAFI) who die of 

injuries sustained in connection with 

the employee’s service with an Armed 

Force serving in a contingency 

operation. While the Public Law became 

effective January 28, 2008, it also 

provides a provision in which a death 

gratuity may also be paid to eligible 

survivors of employees from certain 

agencies who died on or after October 

7, 2001, due to injuries incurred in 

connection with the service of an 

Armed Force in the theatre of operations 

of Operation Enduring Freedom and 

Operation Iraqi Freedom. 

The OWCP FECA has been delegated 

the authority to administer the 

adjudication of claims and payment of 

the death gratuity under new section 5 

U.S.C. 8102a, and has initiated a new 

collection with 3 distinct forms to meet 

stature requirements. Because of the 

immediate and retroactive provisions of 

this Law, the Agency requests that an 

immediate review and authorization of 

this collection be approved for 180 days 

to implement section 8102a. The agency 

will subsequently follow up with 

normal processing procedures to allow 

for the routine three-year extension of 

this collection.
