Sec.  10.11  Who maintains custody and control of FECA records?



    All records relating to claims for benefits filed under the FECA, 

including any copies of such records maintained by an employing agency, 

are covered by the government-wide Privacy Act system of records 

entitled DOL/GOVT-1 (Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, Federal 

Employees' Compensation Act File). This system of records is maintained 

by and under the control of OWCP, and, as such, all records covered by 

DOL/GOVT-1 are official records of OWCP. The protection, release, 

inspection and copying of records covered by DOL/GOVT-1 shall be 

accomplished in accordance with the rules, guidelines and provisions of 

this part, as well as those contained in 29 CFR parts 70 and 71, and 

with the notice of the system of records and routine uses published in 

the Federal Register. All questions relating to access/disclosure, and/

or amendment of FECA records maintained by OWCP or the employing agency, 

are to be resolved in accordance with this section.
