PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT 

 

The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a) authorizes OWCP to ask you for information needed in the administration of the 

EEOICPA program. Authority to collect information is in 42 USC 7384d, 20 CFR 30.1 et seq. and E.O. 13179. The information we obtain is 

used to decide if the services and supplies being billed for are covered by the program and to insure that proper payment is made. There are 

no penalties for failure to supply information; however, failure to furnish information regarding the medical service(s) at issue will prevent 

payment of the bill. Failure to supply the claim number or CPT codes will delay payment or may result in rejection of the authorization request 

because of incomplete information. 

 

We are authorized to request a taxpayer identification number (TIN) or Social Security Number (SSN) under the Debt Collection Improvement 

Act of 1996, 31 U.S.C. 7701(c)(1), which mandates us to require persons who are doing business with a Federal agency to furnish a TIN or 

SSN. The SSN or TIN, and other information maintained by us may be used for identification, to support debt collection efforts carried on by the 

Federal government, and for other purposes required or authorized by law. Additional disclosures are made through routine uses for 

information contained in systems of records. See Department of Labor system DOL/OWCP-11 published in the Federal Register, Vol. 81, page 

25868, April 29, 2016, or as updated and republished. 

 

You should be aware that P.L. 100-503, the “Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988,” permits the government to verify 

information by way of computer matches.

PUBLIC BURDEN STATEMENT 

 

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a 

collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 

1240-0060. There are no penalties for failure to supply information; however, failure to furnish information regarding the medical service(s) 

requested will prevent payment of the bill. We estimate that it will take an average of ten minutes to complete this collection of information, 

including time for reviewing instructions, abstracting information from the patient’s records and entering the data onto the form. This time is 

based on familiarity with standardized coding structures. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection 

of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the Department of Labor, Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, Division 

of Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation, Room C3321, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20210. DO NOT 

SEND THE COMPLETED FORM TO THIS OFFICE.
