SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) provides, under 5 
U.S.C. 8191, et seq. and 20 CFR 10.735, that non-Federal law 
enforcement officers injured or killed under certain circumstances are 
entitled to the benefits of the Act, to the same extent as if they were 
employees of the Federal Government. The CA-721 and CA-722 are used by 
non-Federal law enforcement officers and their survivors to claim 
compensation under the FECA. Form CA-721 is used for claims for injury. 
Form CA-722 is used for claims for death. The authority for this 
collection is 5 U.S.C. 8191-8193.

II. Desired Focus of Comments

    OWCP/DFELHWC is soliciting comments concerning the proposed 
information collection related to the Notice of Law Enforcement 
Officer's Injury or Occupational Disease (CA-721) and Notice of Law 
Enforcement Officer's Death (CA-722). OWCP/DFELHWC is particularly 
interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, 
including whether the information has practical utility;
     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;
     Suggest methods to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and
     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.
    Background documents related to this information collection request 
are available at https://regulations.gov and at DOL-OWCP/DFELHWC
