The new information collection requirements that needed OMB approval 
are derived from sections 8131 and 8132 of the FECA, and its

requests for information necessary to calculate the amount of the 
United States' statutory right to a refund out of the proceeds of a

damages for an injury compensable under the FECA.
    On July 14, 2003, OMB approved this information collection request 
for three years. The OMB control number assigned to this information 
collection is 1215-0200. The approval for this information collection 
will expire on July 31, 2006.
