Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506 (c)(2)(A)] This program helps to

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 March 31, 2017.
    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
