DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment Standards Administration 

Proposed Extension of the Approval of 

Information Collection Requirements 

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 

Employment Standards Administration 

is soliciting comments concerning its 

proposal to extend OMB approval of the 

information collection: Notice of Final 

Payment or Suspension of 

Compensation Benefits (LS–208). 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 

October 6, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Ms. Hazel M. Bell, U.S. 

Department of Labor, 200 Constitution 

Ave., NW., Room S–3201, Washington, 

DC 20210, telephone (202) 693–0418, 

fax (202) 693–1451, e-mail 

bell.hazel@dol.gov. Please use only one 

method of transmission for comments 

(mail, fax, or e-mail). 

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 adjoining areas customarily used by 

an employer in loading, unloading, 

repairing or building a vessel. In 

addition, several acts extend Longshore 

Act coverage to certain other employees. 

Pursuant to section 914(g) of the 

Longshore Act, and 20 CFR 702.235, 

once an employer has made a final 

payment on a compensation claim, 

he/she shall file with the district 

director in the affected compensation 

district on or before the sixteenth day 

after the final payment has been made, 

a notice, in accordance with a form 

prescribed by the Secretary, stating the 

amount, type and dates of compensation 

paid on the claim. Form 

LS–208 has been designated for this 

purpose. Form LS–208 is used by 

insurance carriers and self-insured 

employers to notify that payment under 

the Longshore Act and extensions has 

been terminated. The information is 

used by OWCP district offices to 

determine the return-to-work status of a 

claimant. This information collection is 

currently approved for use through 

February 28, 2009. 

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 for the 

extension of this currently approved 

information collection in order to carry 

out its responsibility to meet the 

statutory requirements to provide 

compensation or death benefits under 

the Act to workers covered under the 

Act. 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Agency: Employment Standards 

Administration.
