§ 936. Regulations and reports
(a) Promulgation; applicability of section 553 of title 5
The Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Health and Human Services are authorized to issue such
regulations as each deems appropriate to carry out the provisions of this subchapter. Such regulations shall

Within 120 days following the convening of each session of Congress the Secretary of Health and Human
Services shall submit to the Congress an annual report upon the subject matter of part B of this subchapter,
and, after January 1, 1974, the Secretary of Labor shall also submit such a report upon the subject matter of
this part.
(c) Compliance with State workmen's compensation laws; conflicts between State and Federal provisions
Nothing in this subchapter shall relieve any operator of the duty to comply with any State workmen's
compensation law, except insofar as such State law is in conflict with the provisions of this subchapter and
the Secretary by regulation, so prescribes. The provisions of any State workmen's compensation law which
provide greater benefits than the benefits payable under this subchapter shall not thereby be construed or
held to be in conflict with the provisions of this subchapter.
