SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Employees’ Compensation Act, 

in relevant part, provides vocational 

rehabilitation services to eligible injured 

Federal employees to facilitate their 

return to work. See 5 U.S.C 8104(a). The 

cost of providing these vocational 

rehabilitation services is paid from the 

Federal Employees’ Compensation 

Fund, and annual appropriations 

language provides the OWCP with legal 

authority to use amounts from the Fund 

to reimburse private sector employers 

for a portion of the salary of reemployed 

disabled Federal workers hired through 

the OWCP Assisted Reemployment 

Program. Employers submit Form CA– 

2231 to claim reimbursement for wages 

paid under the Assisted Reemployment 

Program. The OWCP is revising this 

information collection to enhance its 

disclosures to persons with disabilities; 

however, no changes are sought for the 

information collected on Form CA– 

2231. For additional substantive 

information about this ICR, see the 

related noticed published in the Federal 

Register on February 19, 2013 (78 FR 

11683). 

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 1240–0018. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on July 

31, 2013; however, 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 requirements 

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– 

0018. 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.
