SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Notice of Law Enforcement Officer's Injury or 
Occupational Disease and Notice of Law Enforcement Officer's Death 
information collection. Form CA-721, Notice of Law Enforcement 
Officer's Injury or Occupational Disease, and Form CA-722, Notice of 
Law Enforcement Officer's Death, are used for filing claims for 
compensation for injury and death to non-Federal law enforcement 
officers under Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) provisions 
that provide compensation for law enforcement officers not employed by 
the U.S. killed or injured while apprehending persons suspected of 
committing Federal crimes. See 5 U.S.C. 8191 et seq. The forms provide 
the basic information needed to process the claims made for injury or 
death. This information collection has been classified as a revision, 
because accommodation language was added to the form and the 
instructions page. The FECA authorizes this information collection. See 
5 U.S.C. 8193.
    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 it is approved by the OMB under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1240-0022. The DOL notes that existing information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB continue in effect while 
they undergo review; however, new requirements would only take effect 
upon OMB approval. For additional substantive

Federal Register on October 5, 2016 (81 FR 69087).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1240-0022. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information 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.
