SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Background 

The Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs, (OWCP) administers the 

Longshore and Harbor Workers’ 

Compensation Act. This Act was 

amended on October 27, 1972, to 

provide for continuation of death 

benefits for a child or certain other 

surviving dependents after the age of 18 

years (to age 23) if the dependent 

qualifies as a student as defined in 

section 2(18) of the Act. The benefit 

would also be terminated if the 

dependent completes four years of 

education beyond high school. Form 

LS–266 is to be submitted by the parent 

or guardian for whom continuation of 

benefits is sought. The statements 

contained on the form must be verified 

by an official of the education 

institution. The information is used by 

the DOL to determine whether a 

continuation of the benefits is justified. 

This information collection is currently 

approved for use through January 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 

ensure that employers are complying 

with the reporting requirements of the 

Act and to ensure that injured claimants 

receive all compensation benefits to 

which they are entitled.

International Business Machines (IBM), 

Global Technology Services Delivery 

Division, Including On-Site Leased 

Workers From Artech, Greenville, 

South Carolina; Amended Certification 

Regarding Eligibility To Apply for 

Worker Adjustment Assistance 

In accordance with Section 223 of the 

Trade Act of 1974, as amended (‘‘Act’’), 

19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor 

issued a Certification of Eligibility to 

Apply for Worker Adjustment 

Assistance on August 25, 2010, 

applicable to workers of International 

Business Machines (IBM), Global 

Technology Services Delivery Division, 

Greenville, South Carolina. The 

Department’s Notice of determination 

was published in the Federal Register 

on September 15, 2010 (75 FR 56143). 

At the request of a State Workforce 

Agent, the Department reviewed the 

certification for workers of the subject 

firm. The workers provide customer 

help desk support. 

During the review, the company 

confirmed that workers leased from 

Artech were employed on-site at the 

Greenville, South Carolina location of 

IBM, Global Technology Services 

Delivery Division. The Department has 

determined that these workers were 

sufficiently under the control of the 

subject firm to be considered leased 

workers. 

Based on these findings, the 

Department is amending this 

certification to include workers leased 

from Artech working on-site at the 

Greenville, South Carolina location of 

IBM, Global Technology Services 

Delivery Division. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–74,164 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

All workers of International Business 

Machines (IBM), Global Technology Services 

Delivery Division, including on-site leased
