Burden Reduction Due to:
Using Information Technology
Short Statement:
The burden for this collection has decreased by 12,219 due to a decrease in forms received and accessibility to electronic submission. This burden includes 30 hours burden for a new form, the LS-272, which has been added to this collection. Additionally, the final rule published 8/18/2015 (80 FR 12917) broadened the acceptable methods by which claimants, employers, and insurers can communicate with OWCP. Instead of mandating the transmission of information by postal mail, the rule allows OWCP and private parties to use electronic and other commonly used communication methods. It also provided flexibility for OWCP to allow submission of information using future technologies.
