number) or by email at

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2008, Public Law 110–181, 

amended the Federal Employees’ 

Compensation Act (FECA) by 

establishing a FECA death gratuity 

benefit of up to $100,000 for eligible 

beneficiaries of Federal employees and 

Non-Appropriated Fund Instrumentality 

employees who die from injuries 

incurred in connection with service 

with an Armed Force in a contingency 

operation. See 5 U.S.C. 8102a. The 

OWCP associates three forms with this 

ICR. Form CA–40 requests information 

necessary from an employee who 

chooses to name alternate beneficiaries 

from those otherwise established by 

law. Form CA–41 provides the means 

for those named beneficiaries to file 

benefit claims. Information provided by 

such claimants allows the OWCP to 

determine payment eligibility. The 

statute and regulations also require 

Agencies to notify the OWCP 

immediately upon the death of a 

covered employee, and Form CA–42 

provides the means to accomplish this 

notification. This latter form requests 

information necessary to administer any 

claim for benefits resulting from such a 

death. 

This ICR has been classified as a 

revision, because the OWCP has 

enhanced disclosures on the forms 

about how the Agency uses information 

collected under this ICR and the 

accommodations available for 

respondents with disabilities. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 19, 2013 (78 FR 11638). 

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 1240–0017. It should be noted 

that existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. New 

information collection provisions would 

only take effect upon OMB approval. 

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 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– 

0017. 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.
