SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

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. Legal authority for this 

information collection is found at 33 

U.S.C. 930(a) and (b). 

The LS–202 is used by employers 

initially to report injuries that have 

occurred which are covered under the 

Longshore Act and its related statutes. 

The LS–210 is used to report additional 

periods of lost time from work. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

The OWCP/DFELHWC is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) 

titled, ‘‘Employer’s First Report of Injury 

or Occupational Illness (LS–202), 

Employer’s Supplementary Report of 

Accident or Occupational Illness (LS– 

210).’’ 

OWCP/DFELHWC 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 OWCP/ 

DFELHWC’s estimate of the burden of 

the proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used in 

the estimate. 

• Suggest methods to 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 submission of 

responses.
