SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs (OWCP) is the agency 

responsible for administration of the 

Federal Employees’ Compensation Act 

(FECA), 5 U.S.C. 8101—administered by 

the Division of Federal Employees’ 

Compensation Program; the Black Lung 

Benefits Act (BLBA), 30 U.S.C. 901— 

administered by the Division of Coal 

Miner Workers’ Compensation Program; 

and the Energy Employees Occupational 

Illness Compensation Program Act of 

2000 (EEOICPA), 42 U.S.C. 7384 

administered by the Division of Energy 

Employees Occupational Illness 

Compensation Programs. All three of 

these statutes require that OWCP pay for 

medical treatment of beneficiaries; 

BLBA also requires that OWCP pay for 

medical examinations and related 

diagnostic services to determine 

eligibility for benefits under that statute. 

In order to determine whether billed 

amounts are appropriate, OWCP needs 

to identify the patient, the injury or 

illness that was treated or diagnosed, 

the specific services that were rendered 

and their relationship to the workrelated injury or illness. The regulations 

implementing these statutes require the 

use of Form OWCP–1500 for medical 

bills submitted by certain physicians 

and other providers (20 CFR 10.801, 20 

CFR 725.704, 30.701, 725.405, 

725.406(e), 725.701 and 725.715). 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

OWCP is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed information 

collection related to the Health 

Insurance Claim Form (OWCP–1500). 

OWCP 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’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 located at 200 

Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, 

DC 20210. Questions about the 

information collection requirements 

may be directed to the person listed in 

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION section of 

this notice. 

III. Current Actions

concerns the Health Insurance Claim 

Form, OWCP–1500. OWCP has updated 

the data with respect to the number of 

respondents, responses, burden hours, 

and burden costs supporting this 

information collection request from the 

previous information collection request.

collection.

Compensation Programs.
