of International Labor Affairs, U.S. 

Department of Labor, at (202) 693–4843 

(this is not a toll-free number). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ILAB 

announces the publication of the sixth 

edition of the List of Goods Produced by 

Child Labor or Forced Labor, pursuant 

to the TVPRA of 2005, as amended. 

ILAB published the initial List on 

September 10, 2009, and has since 

published updated editions annually. 

Beginning this year, ILAB will update 

and publish the List every other year, 

pursuant to changes in the law enacted 

in 2013. See 22 U.S.C. 7112(b). The 

2014 edition adds two new goods 

(alcoholic beverages and meat), and one 

new country (Yemen) to the List. 

Section 105(b) of the TVPRA 

mandates that ILAB develop and 

publish a list of goods from countries 

that ILAB ‘‘has reason to believe are 

produced with child labor or forced 

labor in violation of international 

standards.’’ 22 U.S.C. 7112(b)(2). ILAB’s 

Office of Child Labor, Forced Labor, and 

Human Trafficking carries out this 

mandate. The primary purposes of the 

List are to raise public awareness about 

the incidence of child labor and forced 

labor in the production of goods in the 

countries listed and to promote efforts 

to eliminate such practices. A full 

report, including the updated List and a 

discussion of the List’s methodology, as 

well as Frequently Asked Questions and 

a bibliography of sources, are available 

on the Department of Labor Web site at: 

http://www.dol.gov/ilab/reports/childlabor/list-of-goods/.

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 

employer in loading, unloading, 

repairing, or building a vessel. In 

addition, several acts extend the 

Longshore Act’s coverage to certain 

other employees. Pursuant to section 

914(d) of the Longshore Act, and 

20CFR702.251, if an employer 

controverts the right to compensation, 

he/she shall file with the district 

director in the affected compensation 

district on or before the fourteenth day 

after he/she has knowledge of the 

alleged injury or death, a notice, in 

accordance with a form prescribed by 

the Secretary, stating that the right to 

compensation is controverted. Form LS– 

207 has been designated for this 

purpose. Form LS–207 is used by 

insurance carriers and self-insured 

employers to controvert claims under 

the Longshore Act and extensions. The 

information is used by OWCP district 

offices to determine the basis for not 

paying benefits in a case. This 

information collection is currently 

approved for use through February 28, 

2015. 

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 meet the 

statutory requirements to provide 

compensation or death benefits under 

the Act to workers covered by the Act.
