SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To aid in the employment of Federal 
employees with disabilities related to an on-the-job injury, employers 
submit Form CA-2231 to claim reimbursement for wages paid under the 
assisted reemployment project. This information allows for a prompt 
decision on payment. For additional substantive information about this 
ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on August 
2, 2022 (87 FR 47232).
    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 the OMB approves it 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 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than 
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
