DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment Standards Administration
Proposed Extension of the Approval of
Information Collection Requirements
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the
Employment Standards Administration
is soliciting comments concerning its
proposal to extend OMB approval of the
information collection: Notice of Final
Payment or Suspension of
Compensation Benefits (LS–208). A
copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by

ADDRESSES section of this Notice.

injured in maritime employment on the
navigable waters of the United States or
in adjoining areas customarily used by
an employer in loading, unloading,
repairing or building a vessel. In
addition, several acts extend Longshore
Act coverage to certain other employees.
Pursuant to section 914(g) of the
Longshore Act, and 20 CFR 702.235,
once an employer has made a final
payment on a compensation claim,
he/she shall file with the district
director in the affected compensation
district on or before the sixteenth day
after the final payment has been made,
a notice, in accordance with a form
prescribed by the Secretary, stating the
amount, type and dates of compensation
paid on the claim. Form
LS–208 has been designated for this
purpose. Form LS–208 is used by
insurance carriers and self-insured
employers to notify that payment under
the Longshore Act and extensions has
been terminated. The information is
used by OWCP district offices to
determine the return-to-work status of a
claimant. This information collection is
currently approved for use through
February 28, 2009.
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor is particularly interested in
comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
