50730 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 158 / Tuesday, August 17, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

are generally caused by exposure to a 

harmful substance or condition. If the 

individual claims compensation for an 

occupational illness or infection, the 

date of injury is the date the illness 

becomes ‘‘manifest’’ to the individual. 

The injury is ‘‘manifest’’ when the 

individual learns, or reasonably should 

have learned, that he or she is suffering 

from the illness, that the illness is 

related to his or her work with the 

responsible employer, and that he or she 

is disabled as a result of the illness. 

(3) Hearing loss. If the individual 

claims compensation for hearing loss, 

the date of injury is the date the 

individual receives an audiogram with 

an accompanying report which 

indicates the individual has suffered a 

loss of hearing that is related to 

employment. 

(4) Death-benefit claims. If the 

individual claims compensation for an 

employee’s death, the date of injury is 

the date of the employee’s death, even 

if his or her death was the result of an 

event or incident that happened on an 

earlier date. 

(b) If the date of injury is before 

February 17, 2009, the individual’s 

entitlement is governed by section 

2(3)(F) as it existed prior to the 2009 

amendment. 

(c) If the date of injury is on or after 

February 17, 2009, the employee’s 

eligibility is governed by the 2009 

amendment to section 2(3)(F). 

9. Add § 701.505 to read as follows: 

§ 701.505 May an employer stop paying 

benefits awarded prior to the effective date 

of the recreational vessel exclusion 

amendment if the employee would now fall 

within the exclusion? 

No. If an individual was awarded 

compensation for an injury occurring 

before February 17, 2009, the employer 

must still pay all benefits awarded, 

including disability compensation and 

medical benefits, even if the employee 

would be excluded from coverage under 

the amended exclusion. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 9th day of 

August 2010.

Director, Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this rule, no 

further activity is contemplated. If EPA 

receives adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the Rules section of this Federal 

Register.
