The Office of Workers’ Compensation

and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act.
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. Title 20, CFR 702.317
provides for the referral of claims under
the Longshore Act for formal hearings.
This Section provides that before a case
is transferred to the Office of
Administrative Law Judges the district
director shall furnish each of the parties
or their representatives with a copy of
a prehearing statement form. The form
LS–18 is used to refer the case for
formal hearing under the Act. Each
party shall, within 21 days after receipt
of each form, complete it and return it
to the district director. Upon receipt of
the forms, the district director, after
checking them for completeness and
after any further conferences that, in
his/her opinion, are warranted, shall

law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not

The Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs administers the Federal
Employees’ Compensation Act, 5 U.S.C.
8133. Under the Act, eligible
dependents of deceased employees
receive compensation benefits on
account of the employee’s death. OWCP
has to monitor death benefits for current
marital status, potential for dual
benefits, and other criteria for qualifying
as a dependent under the law. The CA–
12 form is sent annually to beneficiaries
in death cases to ensure that their status
has not changed and that they remain
entitled to benefits. The information
collected is used by OWCP claims
examiners to ensure that death benefits
being paid are correct, and that
payments are not made to ineligible
survivors. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
