applicant lists the identifying vehicle 

information and an independent 

mechanic attests that the vehicle meets 

the required safety standards. Form 

WH–515 is a doctor’s certificate used to 

document that a motor vehicle driver or 

operator meets the minimum DOT 

physical requirements that the 

Department has adopted. 

The Department proposes a 

substantive change with the proposed 

debut of the FLCE portal, which will 

allow respondents to fill out WH–530, 

WH–535, and WH–540 online and 

submit electronically. Respondents will 

be able to upload WH–514 and WH– 

514a to the portal as well. The 

Department also proposes minor 

revisions to forms WH–515, WH–530, 

WH–535, and WH–540. These revisions 

clarify the instructions and ensure that 

applicants provide a contact email 

address. There are no revisions to the 

WH–514 and WH–514a forms. 

II. Review Focus: The Department 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 submissions 

of responses. 

III. Current Actions: The Department 

seeks approval to revise this information 

collection to ensure effective 

administration of the requirements 

governing FLCs and FLCEs under 

MSPA.

OWCP/DEEOIC is soliciting comments

Employees Occupational Illness 

Compensation Program Act Form (EE– 

1A). The form is required to determine 

a claimant’s eligibility for compensation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs (OWCP) is the primary agency 

responsible for administration of the 

Energy Employees Occupational Illness 

Compensation Program Act of 2000, as 

amended (EEOICPA), 42 U.S.C. 7384 et 

seq. EEOICPA provides for the payment 

of compensation to covered employees 

and, where applicable, survivors of 

deceased employees, who sustained 

either an ‘‘occupational illness’’ or a 

‘‘covered illness’’ in the performance of 

duty for the Department of Energy and 

certain of its contractors and 

subcontractors. Following acceptance of 

an occupational illness or a covered 

illness, claimants can file for 

‘‘consequential illnesses.’’ 

A consequential illness is a newly 

diagnosed medical condition that a 

physician links to a previously accepted 

work-related illness. Currently, OWCP 

does not have a specific form that 

claimants can utilize to file a claim for 

consequential illnesses. The absence of 

a specific form to file claims for 

consequential illnesses has made it 

difficult for stakeholders to submit these 

types of claims and/or understand the 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 14, 2024 / Notices 11321 

process. The use of a standardized form, 

along with instructions, will provide 

claimants with a more precise filing 

mechanism. In addition, OWCP will be 

able to differentiate claims more easily 

for consequential illnesses from other 

claim types, increase the accuracy of 

claim tracking, and improve 

consequential illness claim adjudication 

timeliness. The collection of this 

information is authorized by 20 CFR 

30.100, 30.103, 30.505 and 30.620. 

The information collection in this 

Information Collection Request collects 

demographic, factual and medical 

information that OWCP needs to process 

claims for consequential illnesses. The 

collection in this ICR and the purpose 

is listed below. The associated 

regulatory authority for this ICR is listed 

above. 

EE–1A—Claim for Consequential 

Illness Benefits Under the Energy 

Employees Occupational Illness 

Compensation Program Act will be used 

to initiate claims for consequential 

illnesses under the Act. It requests 

information about the employee/ 

claimant, the specific medical diagnoses 

that they claim as consequential 

illness(es), and previous awards or 

settlements received in connection with 

the claimed consequential illnesses. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

OWCP is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed information 

collection titled, ‘‘Claim for 

Consequential Illness Benefits, EE–1A. 

OWCP/DEEOIC is particularly 

interested in comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information has practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of OWCP/ 

DEEOIC’s estimate of the burden related 

to the information collection, including 

the validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used in the estimate; 

• Suggest methods to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

information collection 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. 

Background documents related to this 

information collection request are 

available at https://regulations.gov and
