**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
OWCP administers the Federal Employees' Compensation Act. Payment of compensation for partial disability to injured Federal workers is required by 5 U.S.C. 8106 which also requires OWCP to obtain information regarding a claimant's earnings during a period of eligibility to compensation. The CA-1027, Request for Employment Information, is the form used to obtain information for an individual who is employed by a private employer. This information is used to determine the claimant's entitlement to compensation benefits. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the *Federal Register* on March 9, 2022 (87 FR 13331).
