provide vocational rehabilitation services to eligible workers with 
disabilities. 5 U.S.C. 8111(b) of the FECA provides that OWCP may pay 
an individual undergoing vocational rehabilitation a maintenance 
allowance, not to exceed $200 a month. 33 U.S.C. 908(g) of the LHWCA 
provides that person(s) undergoing such vocational rehabilitation shall 
receive maintenance allowances as additional compensation, not to 
exceed $25 a week. Form OWCP-17 is used to collect information 
necessary to decide the amount of any maintenance allowance to be paid. 
This information collection is currently approved for use through June 
30, 2012.
