Office of Workers Compensation Program Tracking System (OWCP)

The Office of Workers Compensation Program Tracking System (OWCP) serves as a consolidated database that maintains information used by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to track and manage all DOT workers' compensation claims, including medical claim history and treatment. The OWCP administers four major disability compensation programs: the Federal Employees’ Compensation Program (FECA), the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Program, the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program (DEEOIC), and the Black Lung Benefits Program. These compensation programs provide wage replacement benefits, medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and other benefits to certain workers or their dependents who experience work-related injury or occupational disease. The Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs seeks to protect the interests of workers who are injured or become ill on the job, their families and their employers by making timely, appropriate, and accurate decisions on claims, providing prompt payment of benefits, and helping injured workers return to gainful work as early as is feasible. The FAA is updating and publishing this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for the OWCP  in accordance with Section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002 because the OWCP processes Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from members of the public, including citizens or Legal Permanent Residents (LPR).
