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/.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of
November 2014.

Deputy Undersecretary for International
Affairs.

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

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.

Compensation Programs.
