SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs (OWCP) administers the
Longshore and Harbor Workers’
Compensation Act (LHWCA). The Act
provides benefits to workers injured in
maritime employment on the navigable
waters of the United States or in an
adjoining area customarily used by an
employee in loading, unloading,
repairing or building a vessel. In
addition, several acts extend coverage to
certain other employees.
Under section 7 (33 U.S.C., Chapter
18, Section 907) of the Longshore Act
the employer/insurance carrier is
responsible for furnishing medical care
for the injured employee for such period
of time as the injury or recovery period
may require. Form LS–1 serves two
purposes: it authorizes the medical care,
and it provides a vehicle for the treating
physician to report the findings,
treatment given, and anticipated
physical condition of the employee.
This information collection is currently
approved for use through May 31, 2011.
III. Current Actions
The Department of Labor seeks the
extension of approval of this
information collection in order to carry
out its responsibility to verify
authorized medical care and entitlement
to compensation benefits.
Agency: Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs.
Type of Review: Extension.
Title: Request for Examination and/or
Treatment.
OMB Number: 1240–0029.
Agency Number: LS–1.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit.
Total Respondents: 24,000.
Total Annual Responses: 72,000.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
77,760.
Estimated Time per Response: 65
minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
$0.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintenance): $33,840.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
