Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for the Securing Financial Obligations Under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA) and its Extensions information collection. The LHWCA requires a covered employer to secure the payment of compensation under the Act and its extensions by purchasing insurance from a carrier authorized by the Secretary of Labor to write insurance under the LHWCA, or by becoming an authorized self-insured employer. Each authorized insurance carrier or carrier seeking authorization is required to establish annually that its LHWCA obligations are fully secured through an applicable state guaranty or analogous fund, a deposit of security with the Division of Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation (DLHWC), or a combination of both. Similarly, each authorized self-insurer or employer seeking authorization is required fully to secure its LHWCA obligations by depositing security with the DLHWC. These requirements are designed to assure the prompt and continued payment of compensation and other benefits by the responsible carrier or self-insurer to injured workers and their survivors. Forms associated with this information collection [Forms LS–275 IC, Agreement and Undertaking (Insurance Carrier); LS–275 SI, Agreement and Undertaking (SelfInsured Employer); and LS–276, Application for Security Deposit Determination] obtain information used to determine appropriate security deposit amounts and to insure compliance with the security deposit requirements. LHWCA section 32 authorizes this information collection. See 33 U.S.C. 932. This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1240–0005. mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:55 Sep 15, 2016 Jkt 238001 OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2016. The DOL seeks to extend PRA authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
