SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs administers the
Federal Employees' Compensation Act, (5 U.S.C. 8101, et seq.), which
provides for continuation of pay or compensation for work related
injuries or disease that result from Federal Employment. Regulation 20
CFR 10.104 designates form CA-2a as the form to be used to request
information from claimants with previously accepted injuries who claim
a recurrence of disability, and from their employer, if applicable. The
form requests information relating to the specific circumstances
leading up to the recurrence as well as information about their
employment and earnings.

including whether the information has practical utility;
<bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of OWCP/DFELHWC's estimate of the
burden related to the information collection, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used in the estimate;
<bullet> Suggest methods to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be collected; and
<bullet> 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.
