Sec.  25.201  How is the Special Schedule applied for employees in Australia?

    (a) The special schedule of compensation established by subpart B of 
this part shall apply in Australia with the modifications or additions 
specified in paragraph (b) of this section, as of December 8, 1941, in 
all cases of injury (or death from injury) which occurred between 
December 8, 1941 and December 31, 1961, inclusive, and shall be applied 
retrospectively in all such cases of injury (or death from injury). 
Compensation in all such cases pending as of July 15, 1946, shall be 
readjusted accordingly, with credit taken in the amount of compensation 
paid prior to such date. Refund of compensation shall not be required if 
the amount of compensation paid in any such case, otherwise than through 
fraud, misrepresentation or mistake, and prior to July 15, 1946, exceeds 
the amount provided for under this paragraph, and such case shall be 
deemed compromised and paid under 5 U.S.C. 8137.
    (b) The total aggregate compensation payable in any case under 
paragraph (a) of this section, for injury or death or both, shall not 
exceed the sum of $4,000, exclusive of medical costs. The maximum 
monthly rate of compensation in any such case shall not exceed the sum 
of $50.
    (c) The benefit amounts payable under the provisions of the 
Commonwealth Employees' Compensation Act of 1930-1964, Australia, shall 
apply as of January 1, 1962, in Australia, as the exclusive measure of 
compensation in cases of injury (or death from injury) according on and 
after January 1, 1962, and shall be applied retrospectively in all such 
cases, occurring on and after such date: Provided, that the compensation 
payable under the provisions of this paragraph shall in no event exceed 
that payable under the FECA.
