                                                     BURDEN DISCLOSURE NOTICE

The public reporting burden for this data collection is estimated to average seven minutes per response. The burden estimate includes the time
for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and submitting the form.
This collection of information is mandatory, as it is needed by OWCP and authorized by 5 USC 8101 et seq., 30 USC 901 et seq., and 42 USC
7384d to collect this information to administer the FECA, BLBA and EEOICPA. The information collected is used to identify the eligibility of the
claimant for benefits, and to determine coverage of services provided. Please send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other
aspect of this collection of information including suggestions for reducing this burden, and reference OMB control number 1240-0037 to the
Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, Department of Labor, Room S3522, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20210; and to
the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (1240-0037), Washington, DC 20503. NOTE: Please do not send your

                                                        PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
We are authorized by OWCP to ask you for information needed in the administration of the FECA, Black Lung and EEOICPA programs.
Authority to collect information is in 5 USC 8101 et seq.; 30 USC 901 et seq.; 38 USC 613; E.O. 9397; and 42 USC 7384d, 20 CFR 30.11 and
E.O. 13179. The information we obtain to complete claims under these programs is used to identify you and to determine your eligibility. It is
also used to decide if the services and supplies you received are covered by these programs and to ensure that proper payment is made. Your
response regarding the medical service(s) received or the amount charged is required to receive payment for the claim. See 20 CFR §§ 10.801,
30.701, 725.406, 725.701, and 725.704. Failure to furnish information regarding the medical service(s) received or the amount charged will
prevent payment on the claim. The information may also be given to other providers of services, carriers, intermediaries, medical review boards,
health plans, and other organizations or Federal agencies, for the effective administration of Federal provisions that require other third-party
payers to pay primary to Federal programs, and as otherwise necessary to administer these programs. For example, it may be necessary to
disclose information about the benefits you have used to a hospital or doctor. Additional disclosures are made through routine uses for
information contained in systems of records. See Department of Labor systems DOUGOVT-1, DOUESA-5, DOL/ESA-6, DOU ESA-29, DOL/
ESA-30, DOL/ESA-43, DOL/ESA-44, DOUESA-49 and DOL/ESA-50 published in the Federal Register, Vol. 67, page 16816, Mon. April 8,
2002, or as updated and republished. You should be aware that P.L. 100-503, the "Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988,"
permits the government to verify information by way of computer matches.

                                                                    NOTICE
If you have a substantially limiting physical or mental impairment, Federal disability nondiscrimination law gives you the right to receive help
from OWCP in the form of communication assistance, accommodation and modification to aid you in the claims process. For example, we will
provide you with copies of documents in alternate formats, communication services such as sign language interpretation, or other kinds of
adjustments or changes to account for the limitations of your disability. Please contact our office or your claims examiner to ask about this
assistance.
