SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSHA 

does not mandate that employers 

establish fire brigades; however, if they 

do so, they must comply with certain 

provisions of the Standard. The 

Standard imposes the following 

paperwork requirements on each 

employer who establishes a fire brigade: 

Write an organizational statement; 

ascertain the fitness of workers with 

specific medical conditions to 

participate in fire related operations; 

and provide appropriate training and 

information to fire brigade members. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 22, 2023 (88 FR 81435). 

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 the OMB 

approves it 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 OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years 

without renewal. The DOL notes that 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review.

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. One element of the 

compensation provided to covered 

employees is medical benefits for the 

treatment of their occupational or 

covered illnesses that are accepted as 

compensable. OWCP contracts with a 

private sector bill processing agent that 

handles many of the tasks associated 

with paying bills for medical treatment 

provided to covered employees under 

EEOICPA. This bill processing agent 

uses an automated system that matches 

incoming bills with the authorized 

medical treatment of covered employees 

before it issues payments, and a 

provider of medical treatment, supplies 

or services to covered employees must 

provide the bill processing agent with 

information necessary for creation of an 

authorization within the agent’s 

automated system before a bill can be 

paid. The collection of this information 

is authorized by 20 CFR 30.400(a) and 

(c), 30.403, 30.404(b) and 30.700. The 

information collections in this ICR 

collect demographic, factual and 

medical information that OWCP and/or 

its bill processing agent needs to process 

bills for medical treatment, supplies or 

services. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

OWCP is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed information 

collection related to the DEEOIC 

Authorization Forms, EE–22, EE–24, 

EE–26, EE–28, EE–30, EE–32. 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 

at DOL–OWCP/DEEOIC located at 200 

Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, 

DC 20210. Questions about the 

information collection requirements
