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. 5 U.S.C. 8102a 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. 5 U.S.C. 8102a also allows 

federal employees to vary the order of 

precedence of beneficiaries or to name 

alternate beneficiaries. 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. This 

information collection is currently 

approved for use through June 30, 2013. 

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 extension of approval to 

collect this information in order to carry 

out its responsibility to meet the 

statutory requirements of the Federal 

Employees’ Compensation Act. The 

information contained in these forms is 

used by the Division of Federal 

Employees’ Compensation to determine 

entitlement to benefits under the Act, to 

verify dependent status, and to initiate, 

continue, adjust, or terminate benefits 

based on eligibility criteria.
