burden of the proposed collection of information, including the

Description: The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2008, Public Law 110-181, was enacted on January 28, 2008. Section 1105
of Public Law 110-181 amended the Federal Employees' Compensation Act
(FECA) creating a new section 8102a effective upon enactment. This
section establishes a new FECA death gratuity benefit of up to $100,000
for eligible beneficiaries of federal employees and Non-Appropriated
Fund Instrumentality employees who die from injuries incurred in
connection with service with an Armed Force in a contingency operation.
Section 8102a also permits agencies to authorize retroactive payment of
the death gratuity for employees who died on or after October 7, 2001,
in service with an Armed Force in the theater of operations of
Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Form CA-40
requests the information necessary from the employee to accomplish this
variance. Form CA-41 provides the means for those named beneficiaries
and possible recipients to file claims for those benefits and requests
information from such claimants so that OWCP may determine their
eligibility for payment. Further, the statute and regulations require
agencies to notify OWCP immediately upon the death of a covered
employee. CA-42 provides the means to accomplish this notification and
requests information necessary to administer any claim for benefits
resulting from such a death. For additional information, see related
notice published in the Federal Register on January 28, 2010 (75 FR
page 4586).
