cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL,
as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the OMB for
final approval. This program helps to
ensure requested data can be provided
in the desired format, reporting burden
(time and financial resources) is
minimized, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements can be properly
assessed.
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
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.
Authorized insurance carriers are
required to report the issuance of
policies and endorsements under the
Longshore and Harbor Workers’
Compensation Act and its extensions,
the Defense Base Act, Outer Continental
Shelf Lands Act and Non-Appropriated
Fund Instrumentalities Act, to the
Department of Labor’s Office of
Workers’ Compensation Programs
(OWCP). 20 CFR 703.116. Carriers use
the form LS–570 for this purpose. Filing
the form LS–570 with OWCP’s Division
of Federal Employees’, Longshore and
Harbor Workers’ Compensation binds
the carrier to full liability for the named
employer’s obligations under the Act or
its extensions.
Legal authority for this information
collection is found at 33 U.S.C. 932(a)
and 33 U.S.C. 939.
Regulatory authority is found at 20
CFR 703.116 and 20 CFR 703.118.
This information collection is subject

Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential
business data, or other sensitive

agency’s estimate of the burden of the
