Form 83-C was submitted to OMB on July 11, 2006 requesting approval for the Spanish-language versions of approved Forms EE-1, EE-2, EE-3, EE-4, and EE-7 for use in this information collection. The inclusion of these forms will not increase the previously approved burden hours. These forms are required to determine a claimant's eligibility for compensation under the EEOICPA, and are required to enable eligible claimants to receive benefits.
