I. Background
The Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs administers the Longshore
and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act.
The Act provides benefits to workers
injured in maritime employment on the
navigable waters of the United States or

an employer in loading, unloading,
repairing, or building a vessel. In
addition, several acts extend the
Longshore Act’s coverage to certain
other employees.
Under sections 914(b) & (c) of the
Longshore Act, a self-insured employer
or insurance carrier is required to pay
compensation within 14 days after the
employer has knowledge of the injury or
death. Upon making the first payment,
the employer or carrier shall
immediately notify the district director
of the payment. Form LS–206 has been
designated as the proper form on which
report of first payment is to be made.
This information collection is currently
approved for use through October 31,
2011.
