        Subpart B_Filing Notices and Claims; Submitting Evidence
 
Sec. 10.118  Does the employer participate in the claims process in any 
other way?

    (a) The employer is responsible for submitting to OWCP all relevant 
and probative factual and medical evidence in its possession, or which 
it may acquire through investigation or other means. Such evidence may 
be submitted at any time.
    (b) The employer may ascertain the events surrounding an injury and 
the extent of disability where it appears that an employee who alleges 
total disability may be performing other work, or may be engaging in 
activities which would indicate less than total disability. This 
authority is in addition to that given in Sec. 10.118(a). However, the 
provisions of the Privacy Act apply to any endeavor by the employer to 
ascertain the facts of the case (see Sec. Sec. 10.10 and 10.11).
    (c) The employer does not have the right, except as provided in 
subpart C of this part, to actively participate in the claims 
adjudication process.
