for targeted sampling. It also would 

permit BLS to target only the units 

meeting the specific set of 

characteristics desired allowing BLS to 

delve into specific areas of economic 

interest without burdening 

establishments which do not meet the 

specific targeted features. The QBS is 

designed to encourage a fast response 

and minimize respondent burden. In 

this manner, BLS can provide 

information that is needed quickly and 

is not collected elsewhere. 

Through the second operations test, 

the BLS will continue to evaluate the 

following goals: To develop and 

evaluate a QBS system, to understand 

the extent to which ARS respondents 

have access to different types of 

information in order to provide 

parameters for future QBS, and to 

estimate response rates. In addition, the 

second test will afford further analysis 

of more refined sampling methodology 

and efforts to improve response rates, 

and will allow the development of a 

detailed cost model for use in potential 

future production. 

III. Desired Focus of Comments 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• 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. 

• 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.

Division of Longshore and Harbor 

Workers’ Compensation; Proposed 

Extension of Existing Collection; 

Comment Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95). This program helps to ensure 

that 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 on respondents 

can be properly assessed. Currently, the 

Division of Longshore and Harbor 

Workers’ Compensation is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

collection: Carrier’s Report of Issuance 

of Policy (LS–570). A copy of the 

proposed information collection request 

can be obtained by contacting the office 

listed below in the ADDRESSES section of 

this Notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section below on or before 

February 26, 2019. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by mail, delivery service, or by hand to 

Ms. Yoon Ferguson, U.S. Department of 

Labor, 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Room 

S–3323, Washington, DC 20210; by fax 

(202) 354–9647; or email to 

ferguson.yoon@dol.gov. Please use only 

one method of transmission for 

comments (mail/delivery, fax, or email). 

Please note that comments submitted 

after the comment period will not be 

considered. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

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 Longshore and Harbor Workers’ 

Compensation binds the carrier to full 

liability for the named employer’s 

obligations under the Act or its 

extensions. 20 CFR 703.118. This 

information collection is currently 

approved for use through May 31, 2019. 

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 

approval of the extension of this 

currently approved information 

collection. The information is necessary 

(i) to ensure compliance by employers, 

(ii) to bind the carrier to the liabilities 

of the employer under 20 CFR 703.118 

and (iii) so that the districts can identify 

the correct carrier for claims to ensure 

prompt payment of compensation to 

injured workers. 

Type of Review: Extension.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This is a request for authorization to 

collect information under the NASA 

Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement (NFS) Clause, 1852.223–70, 

Safety and Health Measures and Mishap 

Reporting, formerly entitled ‘‘Safety and 

Health.’’ While the clause is proposed to 

be revised to eliminate some 

information collected requirements, two 

distinct information collection 

requirements will remain (1) 

notification of a Type A, B, C, or D 

Mishap, or a close call as defined in 

NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) 

8621.1 Mishap and Close Call 

Reporting, Investigating and 

Recordkeeping, and (2) quarterly reports 

specifying lost-time frequency rate, 

number of lost-time injuries, exposure, 

and accident/incident dollar losses. 

II. Methods of Collection 

Electronic. 

III. Data 

Title: Safety and Health Measures and 

Mishap Reporting. 

OMB Number: 2700–0160. 

Type of review: Renewal. 

NSF clause 1852.223–70, Safety and 

health measures and mishap reporting. 

Under this clause, NASA contractors are 

to immediately notify the contracting 

officer when a mishap (Type A, B, C, D 

or Close Call) occurs. The data the 

contractors provide to NASA includes 

incident location, date and time of 

incident, number of fatalities if known, 

number of hospitalized employees if 

known, type of injury if known, type of 

damage if known, contact person, 

contact person phone, number, and brief 

description of the incident. 

NASA estimates that the notification 

of a mishap will take a contractor 

approximately 4 hours, counting initial 

notifications, supervisory notifications, 

and contracting officer notifications.
