(2) A volunteer leader enrolled in the
Peace Corps under section 2505 of title
22; and
(3) An applicant for enrollment as a
volunteer or volunteer leader during a
period of training under section 2507(a)
of title 22 before enrollment.
Entitlement to disability
compensation payments does not
commence until the day after the date
of termination of service as a volunteer.
5 U.S.C. 8142(b).
Farr-Castle directs the Secretary of the
Department of Labor to authorize the
Director of the Peace Corps to furnish
medical benefits to a volunteer, who is
injured during the volunteer’s period of
service, for a period of 120 days
following the termination of such
service if the Director certifies that the
volunteer’s injury probably meets the
requirements set forth in 5 U.S.C.
8142(c)(3).
To this end, the Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP) and
the Peace Corps have collaborated to
initiate a new form, the CA–15, Peace
Corps Volunteer Authorization for
Examination and/or Treatment, that will
authorize medical treatment for recently
terminated Peace Corps volunteers who
require medical treatment for injuries/
exposure sustained in the performance
of their volunteer service. Issuance of
this form will solely be at the discretion
of the Peace Corps, and will bridge a gap
between the occurrence of an initial
injury and/or disease exposure and the
actual adjudication of a claim by OWCP
by helping ensure that recently
terminated volunteers receive prompt
medical care, without delay, for a period
of 120 days following separation from
service.
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,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor (DOL) is
requesting an approval of a new
information collection. This information
collection is essential to the mission of
DOL and the Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP)
Longshore and Harbor Workers’
Compensation Act (LHWCA or Act).
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 employer in loading, unloading,
repairing, or building a vessel. In
addition, several acts extend the
LHWCA’s coverage to certain other
employee groups. LHWCA section 39(a)
generally authorizes the Secretary of
Labor to prescribe rules and regulations
to implement the Act. See 33 U.S.C.
939(a).
Title 20 CFR 702.132 empowers the
District Directors to award or deny
attorney fees for services rendered on
behalf of a claimant. In addition, 20 CFR
702.134 establishes certain guidelines
for determining an attorney fee when
the employer or carrier declines to pay
compensation. The attorney
representing a claimant must file an

jspears on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
itemized fee petition for services
performed at the Office of Workers’
Compensation (OWCP). Form (LS–4)
has been designated for this purpose.
The implementing regulations at 20
CFR 702.321 require that pursuant to
section 8(f) of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 908(f),
if the work injury resulted in additional
disability or impairment when
combined with a pre-existing condition,
the employer is liable for the first 104
weeks of compensation and the Special
Fund is liable thereafter. Hearing loss
claims are different in that the Special
Fund pays for the pre-existing hearing
loss and the employer for the added
hearing loss. Request for relief must be
submitted by the employer/carrier to
OWCP and relief may be granted by the
District Director or an Administrative
Law Judge. To identify and timely
respond to the requests from the
employers and carriers, OWCP is
requiring Form LS–5 Application for
Special Fund Relief be submitted. The
regulatory provisions are codified at 20
CFR 702.321. Because the Form LS–5 is
of a statutory and regulatory nature, it
should be formalized in a uniform
manner and in a clear writing.
The implementing regulations at 20
CFR 702.142 require that pursuant to
section 9(g) of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 909(g),
compensation paid to aliens not
residents, or about to become
nonresidents, of the United States or
Canada shall be in the same amount as
provided for residents except that
dependents in any foreign country shall
be limited to surviving spouse and child
or children, or if there be no surviving
spouse or child or children, to surviving
father or mother whom the employee
has supported, either wholly or in part,
for the period of 1 year prior to the date
of injury. The Director, OWCP, may, at
his or her option, or upon the
application of the employer or
insurance carrier, shall commute all
future installments of compensation to
be paid to such aliens by paying or
causing to be paid to them one-half of
the commuted amount of such future
installments of compensation as
determined by the Director. [See
LHWCA 33 U.S.C. 909(g)].
In response to its stakeholders and to
facilitate the commutation of payments
to injured workers, and the beneficiaries
of deceased workers, OWCP is requiring
Form LS–6 Commutation Request with
the Public Burden Statement and
Privacy Act Statement. The regulatory
provisions are codified at CFR 702.142.
Because the Form LS–6 is of a statutory
and regulatory nature, it should be
formalized in a uniform manner and in
a clear writing.
Title 20 CFR 702.311 empowers the
District Directors to resolve disputes
with respect to claims in a manner
designed to protect the rights of the
parties and to resolve such disputes at
the earliest practicable date. In some
cases, the best resolution method is an
informal conference. See also 33 U.S.C.
923(a) (same); 20 CFR 702.301 (‘‘[B]y
§ 702.311 et seq., the district directors
are empowered to amicably and
promptly resolve such problems by
informal procedures.’’) In addition, 20
CFR 702.312–702.316 establish certain
guidelines for conducting informal
conferences. Usually one of the parties
requests an intervention or informal
conference to assist with dispute
resolution. Prior to scheduling an
informal conference, the issues in
dispute must be established and the
District Director, or designee, will
determine if the type of intervention
requested is the most effective means for
resolving the disputed issues. The Form
LS–7, Request for Intervention, will be
used for that purpose.
Title 20, CFR 702.242 pursuant to 33
U.S.C. 908(i) allow the parties to settle
claims for compensation and/or medical
benefits. A Settlement Approval Request
is a time sensitive request because once
the parties submit a settlement, the
District Director within thirty days must
determine if the settlement is adequate,
whether it was procured under duress
and issue a Compensation Order in
response. To facilitate prompt
processing of settlement approval
requests, OWCP is requiring the parties
to use Form LS–8 as a cover page. The
parties must also attach a signed
settlement document that outlines the
terms of the settlement.
Title 20 CFR 702.315(a)requires the
District Directors to issue formal
compensation orders, ‘‘Following an
informal conference at which agreement
is reached on all issues, the deputy
commissioner shall (within 10 days

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Comment Procedures
We are publishing notice of records
schedules in which agencies propose to
dispose of records they no longer need
to conduct agency business. We invite
public comments on these records
schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C.
3303a(a), and list the schedules at the
end of this notice by agency and
subdivision requesting disposition
authority.
In addition, this notice lists the
organizational unit(s) accumulating the
records or states that the schedule has
agency-wide applicability. It also
provides the control number assigned to
each schedule, which you will need if
you submit comments on that schedule.
We have uploaded the records
schedules and accompanying appraisal
memoranda to the regulations.gov
docket for this notice as ‘‘other’’
documents. Each records schedule
contains a full description of the records
at the file unit level as well as their
proposed disposition. The appraisal
memorandum for the schedule includes
information about the records.
We will post comments, including
any personal information and
attachments, to the public docket
unchanged. Because comments are
public, you are responsible for ensuring
that you do not include any confidential
or other information that you or a third
party may not wish to be publicly
posted. If you want to submit a
comment with confidential information
or cannot otherwise use the
regulations.gov portal, you may contact
request.schedule@nara.gov for
instructions on submitting your
comment.
We will consider all comments
submitted by the posted deadline and
consult as needed with the Federal
agency seeking the disposition
authority. After considering comments,
we will post on regulations.gov a
‘‘Consolidated Reply’’ summarizing the
PO 00000
Frm 00088

Sfmt 4703
comments, responding to them, and
noting any changes we have made to the
proposed records schedule. We will
then send the schedule for final
approval by the Archivist of the United
States. You may elect at regulations.gov
to receive updates on the docket,
including an alert when we post the
Consolidated Reply, whether or not you
submit a comment. You may request
additional information about the
disposition process through the contact
information listed above.
We will post schedules on our
website in the Records Control Schedule
(RCS) Repository, at https://
www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/rcs,
after the Archivist approves them. The
RCS contains all schedules approved
since 1973.
Background
Each year, Federal agencies create
billions of records. To control this
accumulation, agency records managers
prepare schedules proposing retention
periods for records and submit these
schedules for NARA’s approval. Once
approved by NARA, records schedules
provide mandatory instructions on what
happens to records when no longer
needed for current Government
business. The records schedules
authorize agencies to preserve records of
continuing value in the National
Archives or to destroy, after a specified
period, records lacking continuing
administrative, legal, research, or other
value. Some schedules are
comprehensive and cover all the records
of an agency or one of its major
subdivisions. Most schedules, however,
cover records of only one office or
program or a few series of records. Many
of these update previously approved
schedules, and some include records
proposed as permanent.
Agencies may not destroy Federal
records without the approval of the
Archivist of the United States. The
Archivist grants this approval only after
thorough consideration of the records’
administrative use by the agency of
origin, the rights of the Government and
of private people directly affected by the
Government’s activities, and whether or
not the records have historical or other
value. Public review and comment on
these records schedules is part of the
Archivist’s consideration process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor (DOL) is requesting an approval of a new
information collection. This information collection is essential to the
mission of DOL and the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP)
Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA or Act). 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 employer in loading, unloading, repairing, or
building a vessel. In addition, several acts extend the LHWCA's
coverage to certain other employee groups. LHWCA section 39(a)
generally authorizes the Secretary of Labor to prescribe rules and
regulations to implement the Act. See 33 U.S.C. 939(a).
Title 20 CFR 702.132 empowers the District Directors to award or
deny attorney fees for services rendered on behalf of a claimant. In
addition, 20 CFR 702.134 establishes certain guidelines for determining
an attorney fee when the employer or carrier declines to pay
compensation. The attorney representing a claimant must file an
[[Page 38673]]
itemized fee petition for services performed at the Office of Workers'
Compensation (OWCP). Form (LS-4) has been designated for this purpose.
The implementing regulations at 20 CFR 702.321 require that
pursuant to section 8(f) of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 908(f), if the work
injury resulted in additional disability or impairment when combined
with a pre-existing condition, the employer is liable for the first 104
weeks of compensation and the Special Fund is liable thereafter.
Hearing loss claims are different in that the Special Fund pays for the
pre-existing hearing loss and the employer for the added hearing loss.
Request for relief must be submitted by the employer/carrier to OWCP
and relief may be granted by the District Director or an Administrative
Law Judge. To identify and timely respond to the requests from the
employers and carriers, OWCP is requiring Form LS-5 Application for
Special Fund Relief be submitted. The regulatory provisions are
codified at 20 CFR 702.321. Because the Form LS-5 is of a statutory and
regulatory nature, it should be formalized in a uniform manner and in a
clear writing.
The implementing regulations at 20 CFR 702.142 require that
pursuant to section 9(g) of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 909(g), compensation
paid to aliens not residents, or about to become nonresidents, of the
United States or Canada shall be in the same amount as provided for
residents except that dependents in any foreign country shall be
limited to surviving spouse and child or children, or if there be no
surviving spouse or child or children, to surviving father or mother
whom the employee has supported, either wholly or in part, for the
period of 1 year prior to the date of injury. The Director, OWCP, may,
at his or her option, or upon the application of the employer or
insurance carrier, shall commute all future installments of
compensation to be paid to such aliens by paying or causing to be paid
to them one-half of the commuted amount of such future installments of
compensation as determined by the Director. [See LHWCA 33 U.S.C.
909(g)].
In response to its stakeholders and to facilitate the commutation
of payments to injured workers, and the beneficiaries of deceased
workers, OWCP is requiring Form LS-6 Commutation Request with the
Public Burden Statement and Privacy Act Statement. The regulatory
provisions are codified at CFR 702.142. Because the Form LS-6 is of a
statutory and regulatory nature, it should be formalized in a uniform
manner and in a clear writing.
Title 20 CFR 702.311 empowers the District Directors to resolve
disputes with respect to claims in a manner designed to protect the
rights of the parties and to resolve such disputes at the earliest
practicable date. In some cases, the best resolution method is an
informal conference. See also 33 U.S.C. 923(a) (same); 20 CFR 702.301
(``[B]y Sec. 702.311 et seq., the district directors are empowered to
amicably and promptly resolve such problems by informal procedures.'')
In addition, 20 CFR 702.312-702.316 establish certain guidelines for
conducting informal conferences. Usually one of the parties requests an
intervention or informal conference to assist with dispute resolution.
Prior to scheduling an informal conference, the issues in dispute must
be established and the District Director, or designee, will determine
if the type of intervention requested is the most effective means for
resolving the disputed issues. The Form LS-7, Request for Intervention,
will be used for that purpose.
Title 20, CFR 702.242 pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 908(i) allow the
parties to settle claims for compensation and/or medical benefits. A
Settlement Approval Request is a time sensitive request because once
the parties submit a settlement, the District Director within thirty
days must determine if the settlement is adequate, whether it was
procured under duress and issue a Compensation Order in response. To
facilitate prompt processing of settlement approval requests, OWCP is
requiring the parties to use Form LS-8 as a cover page. The parties
must also attach a signed settlement document that outlines the terms
of the settlement.
Title 20 CFR 702.315(a)requires the District Directors to issue
formal compensation orders, ``Following an informal conference at which
agreement is reached on all issues, the deputy commissioner shall
(within 10 days after conclusion of the conference), embody the
agreement in a memorandum or within 30 days issue a formal compensation
order. The District Director may also issue an Order Approving
Stipulations signed by all parties. Form LS-9 Stipulation Approval
Request will be submitted together with the parties' stipulated
agreement.
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

enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the

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
