BCTINDEX - Subject List for FECA & OWCP Directives

This index contains all OWCP and FECA bulletins, circulars and transmittals from FY '86
forward. The headings should be used in the titles of bulletins and circulars.

FB - FECA Bulletin
FC - FECA Circular
FT - FECA Transmittal
OB - OWCP Bulletin
OC - OWCP Circular
OT - OWCP Transmittal

Directives should be filed in directive number order, but they are listed in this index in the order
of their release. The date in parentheses indicates when the issuance was indexed. There are six
distribution lists for OWCP and FECA issuances, each with a different set of recipients
determined by the subject matter of the issuance. Therefore, a person with one job title may
have a different set of issuances from a person with another job title.
