SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs, (OWCP)
administers the Longshore and Harbor
Workers’ Compensation Act. This Act
was amended on October 27, 1972, to
provide for continuation of death
benefits for a child or certain other
surviving dependents after the age of 18
years (to age 23) if the dependent
qualifies as a student as defined in
section 2 (18) of the Act. The benefit
would also be terminated if the
dependent completes four years of
education beyond high school. Form
LS–266 is to be submitted by the parent
or guardian for whom continuation of
benefits is sought. The statements
contained on the form must be verified
by an official of the education
institution. The information is used by
the DOL to determine whether a
continuation of the benefits is justified.
This information collection is currently
approved for use through March 31,
2014.
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
whether the information will have
practical utility;
* Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
* Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
* Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions: The Department
of Labor seeks the extension of approval
of this information collection in order to
ensure that employers are complying
with the reporting requirements of the
Act and to ensure that injured claimants
receive all compensation benefits to
which they are entitled.
