Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The previous approved number of annual responses, 2,832 is being reduced to 842, which represent a reduction of 1,990. The currently approved number of hours is 1,346 and the requested number of hours is 419, a decrease of 927. Likewise, costs burden is now estimated at $219 versus the previously approved $1,360, which represents a decrease of $1,141. Decrease in these numbers is suggested as a result of SOL implementing a more accurate system for monitoring all third-party matters, resulting in a more accurate method of estimating the number of respondents. Additionally, as SOL and respondents are using electronic means, costs associated with mailing have reduced approximately 50 percent. Summary of revisions to these letters are the following: CA-1108 – • The letter has been expanded to automatically calculate attorney fee/court costs when data is entered into items 9 and 11. • A statement was added on page one of the form to advise beneficiaries of their net entitlement of money/property remaining after expenses of a suit/settlement has been settled. • The Instructions were expanded in Lines 9 and 11 to include a statement regarding calculations of attorney fee/court costs. • At the bottom of the Instructions, the OWCP File Number is requested if there is a refund as noted in Line 18. CA-1122 - • Spacing for the OWCP Case Number and Employee Name have been added. • At the bottom of the Instructions, the OWCP File Number is requested if there is a refund as noted in Line 9.
