address: (1) The evaluation and
improvement of the nationwide
workforce and labor market information
(WLMI) system and statewide systems
that comprise the nationwide system;
and (2) how the Department and the
States will cooperate in the management
of those systems. These systems include
programs to produce employmentrelated statistics and State and local
workforce and labor market information.
The Department of Labor anticipates
the WIAC will accomplish its objectives
by: (1) Studying workforce and labor
market information issues; (2) seeking
and sharing information on innovative
approaches, new technologies, and data
to inform employment, skills training,
and workforce and economic
development decision making and
policy; and (3) advising the Secretary on
how the workforce and labor market
information system can best support
workforce development, planning, and
program development. Additional
information is available at
www.doleta.gov/wioa/wiac/.
Purpose: The WIAC is currently in the
process of identifying and reviewing
issues and aspects of the WLMI system

systems. As part of this process, the
Advisory Council meets to gather
information and to engage in
deliberative and planning activities to
facilitate the development and provision
of its recommendations to the Secretary
in a timely manner.
Agenda: Beginning at 9:00 a.m. on
November 16, 2016, the Advisory
Council will briefly review the minutes
of the previous meeting held July 13 and
14, 2016. The Advisory Council will
then hear briefings from members on the
current WLMI systems and its
customers, and begin to discuss where
and how improvements can be made to
the existing WLMI system. The meeting
will end for the day at 4:30 p.m.
The meeting will resume at 9:00 a.m.
on November 17, 2016. The second day

discussions, with the goal of outlining
the next steps for drafting
recommendations for making
improvements to the WLMI systems.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
I. Background
The Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs (OWCP) administers the
Longshore and Harbor Workers’
Compensation Act (LHWCA). LHWCA
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
employer in loading, unloading,
repairing, or building a vessel. In
addition, several Acts extend the
Longshore Act’s coverage to certain
other employees. The following
regulations have been developed to
implement the Act’s provisions and to
provide clarification in those areas
where it was deemed necessary (20 CFR
702.162, 702.174, 702.175, 20 CFR
702.242, 20 CFR 702.285, 702.321,
702.201, and 702.111). In some cases,
prior regulations have been updated and
changed either to reflect the intent of
the amended Act or to correct
recognized deficiencies. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through January 31,
2017.
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,
75161
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
