Supplementary Information

The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) provides, under 5 U.S.C. 8191, et.seq. and 20 CFR 10.735, that non-Federal law enforcement officers injured or killed under certain circumstances are entitled to the benefits of the Act, to the same extent as if they were employees of the Federal Government. The CA-721 and CA-722 are used by non-Federal law enforcement officers and their survivors to claim compensation under the FECA. Form CA-721 is used for claims for injury. Form CA-722 is used for claims for death. The authority for this collection is 5 U.S.C. 8191-8193. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on May 8, 2026 (91 FR 25387).
