                   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.
