Workers’ Compensation; Proposed

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) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. 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 Office 

of Workers’ Compensation (OWCP) is 

soliciting comments concerning the 

proposed collection: Request for 

Examination and/or Treatment (LS–1). 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request can be obtained by 

contacting the office listed below in the 

address section of this Notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

addresses section below on or before 

February 14, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs (OWCP) administers the 

Longshore and Harbor Workers’ 

Compensation Act (LHWCA). 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 

employee in loading, unloading, 

repairing or building a vessel. In 

addition, several acts extend coverage to 

certain other employees. 

Under section 7 (33 U.S.C., Chapter 

18, Section 907) of the Longshore Act 

the employer/insurance carrier is 

responsible for furnishing medical care 

for the injured employee for such period 

of time as the injury or recovery period 

may require. Form LS–1 serves two 

purposes: it authorizes the medical care, 

and it provides a vehicle for the treating 

physician to report the findings, 

treatment given, and anticipated 

physical condition of the employee. 

This information collection is currently 

approved for use through May 31, 2011. 

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 carry 

out its responsibility to verify 

authorized medical care and entitlement 

to compensation benefits. 

Agency: Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs. 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Title: Request for Examination and/or 

Treatment. 

OMB Number: 1240–0029.
