| General Provisions |
This part describes how OWCP pays compensation under the FECA to
employees of the United States who are neither citizens nor residents of
the United States, any territory or Canada, as well as to any dependents
of such employees. It has been determined that the compensation provided
under the FECA is substantially disproportionate to the compensation for
disability or death which is payable in similar cases under local law,
regulation, custom or otherwise, in areas outside the United States, any
territory or Canada. Therefore, with respect to the claims of such
employees whose injury (or injury resulting in death) has occurred
subsequent to December 7, 1941, or may occur, the regulations in this
part shall apply.
