Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a reduction in the number of respondents from the previous submission of 154 to 34, a decrease in 120. Accordingly, the previous cost burden amount of $74 is adjusted to $20 a decrease of $54. The previous burden hours of 39 is adjusted to 9, a difference of 30. The adjustments are resultant from a decrease in the number of claims for wage loss filed by former federal employees in which earnings information is sought from a private employer. There is only one revision to the letter with the accommodation statement which is found at the bottom of the letter. The current approved version reflects the following statement “If you have a disability (a substantially limiting physical or mental impairment), please contact our office/claims examiner for information about the kinds of help available, such as communication assistance (alternate formats or sign language interpretation), accommodations and modifications.” The revision will reflect the following: “If you have a disability and are in need of communication assistance (such as alternate formats or sign language interpretation), accommodations and/or modifications, please contact OWCP.”
