                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT

 

       CHAPTER VI--CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD INVESTIGATION BOARD

 

PART 1620_ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THE FEDERAL TORT CLAIMS 

ACT--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  1620.10  Action on approved claim.



    (a) Payment of a claim approved under this part is contingent on 

claimant's execution of a Standard Form 95 (Claim for Damage, Injury or 

Death); a claims settlement agreement; and a Standard Form 1145 (Voucher 

for Payment), as well as any other forms as may be required. When a 

claimant is represented by an attorney, the Voucher for Payment will 

designate both the claimant and his or her attorney as payees, and the 

check will be delivered to the attorney, whose address is to appear on 

the Voucher for payment.

    (b) Acceptance by the claimant, his or her agent, attorney, or legal 

representative, of an award, compromise or settlement made under 28 

U.S.C. 2672 or 28 U.S.C. 2677 is final and conclusive on the claimant, 

his or her agent, attorney, or legal representative, and any other 

person on whose behalf or for whose benefit the claim has been 

presented, and constitutes a complete release of any and all claims 

against the United States and against any employee of the Federal 

Government whose act(s) or omission(s) gave rise to the claim, by reason 

of the same subject matter. To that end, as noted above, the claimant, 

as well as any agent, attorney or other legal representative that 

represented the claimant during any phase of the process (if applicable) 

must execute a settlement agreement with the CSB prior to payment of any 

funds.
