    This part describes how OWCP pays compensation under the FECA to 

employees of the United States who are neither citizens nor residents of 

the United States, any territory or Canada, as well as to any dependents 

of such employees. It has been determined that the compensation provided 

under the FECA is substantially disproportionate to the compensation for 

disability or death which is payable in similar cases under local law, 

regulation, custom or otherwise, in areas outside the United States, any 

territory or Canada. Therefore, with respect to the claims of such 

employees whose injury (or injury resulting in death) has occurred 

subsequent to December 7, 1941, or may occur, the regulations in this 

part shall apply.
