ACTION:
Final rule. SUMMARY: The Department of Labor is revising its regulations to reflect the Secretary's delegation of authority to administer the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act and its extensions (LHWCA) and the Black Lung Benefits Act
(BLBA)to the Director, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP). This authority previously resided with the Employment Standards Administration (ESA), which has now been dissolved. DATES: Effective October 15, 2010. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shelby Hallmark, Director, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, U.S. Department of Labor, Room S-3524, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20210. *Telephone:*
(202)693-0031 (this is not a toll-free number). TTY/TDD callers may dial toll free 1-800-877-8339 for further information. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background of This Rulemaking Prior to November 8, 2009, the Secretary had delegated her statutory authority to administer the LHWCA and the BLBA to the Assistant Secretary for the Employment Standards Administration. Secretary's Order 13-71, 36 FR 8755 (May 12, 1971). The Assistant Secretary, in turn, delegated authority to administer both programs to OWCP, one of ESA's sub-agencies. On November 8, 2009, the Secretary dissolved ESA into its constituent components. *See* Secretary's Order 10-2009, 74 FR 58834 (Nov. 13, 2009). The Secretary then delegated her authority to administer the LHWCA and the BLBA directly to the Director, OWCP. *Id.* The changes made by this rule simply reflect this administrative reorganization and do not change any substantive rule governing administration of these statutes. II. Summary of the Rule A. Revision of 20 CFR Chapter VI Heading This rule revises the heading of 20 CFR chapter VI, which contains regulations governing the administration of the LHWCA and the BLBA. (A full list of citations for the statutes addressed by 20 CFR chapter VI is set forth at 20 CFR 701.101.) The rule replaces the title “Employment Standards Administration, Department of Labor” with “Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, Department of Labor.” The heading change reflects the abolition of ESA and the Secretary's current delegation of administrative authority over the LHWCA and the BLBA to OWCP. B. Section 701.201 Office of Workers' Compensation Programs This rule has been revised to remove references and cross-references to the now-dissolved ESA and to clarify the Secretary's delegation of authority for the administration of the LHWCA and the BLBA to OWCP. III. Statutory Authority Section 39(a) of the LHWCA (33 U.S.C. 939(a)) and sections 411(b) and 426(a) of the BLBA (30 U.S.C. 921(b) and 936(a)); 5 U.S.C. 301 (Departmental Regulations); 29 U.S.C. 551 *et seq.* (Establishment of Department; Secretary; Seal); and Reorganization Plan No. 6 1950 (5 U.S.C. App. 1 Reorg. Plan 6 1950) authorize the Secretary of Labor to prescribe rules and regulations necessary for the administration and enforcement of the LHWCA and the BLBA. IV. Rulemaking Analyses Administrative Procedure Act Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA)exempts “rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice” from proposed rulemaking ( *i.e.,* notice-and-comment rulemaking). 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A). Rules are also exempt when an agency finds “good cause” that notice and comment rulemaking procedures would be “impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.” 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). An agency may similarly make the rule effective upon publication when it determines that delaying the effective date of the rule, as normally required by 5 U.S.C. 553, is unnecessary and good cause exists to make the rule effective immediately. 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). Here, the Department has determined that this rulemaking meets the notice-and-comment exemption requirements in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A) and (b)(3)(B). The Department's revisions to the 20 CFR chapter VI heading and § 701.201 pertain solely to the delegation of administrative authority within the Department, and do not alter any substantive standard. The Department does not believe public comment is necessary for these minor revisions. For these reasons, the Department also finds that good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the revisions effective immediately upon publication in the **Federal Register** . Regulatory Flexibility Act Because the Department has concluded that this action is not subject to the Administrative Procedure Act's proposed rulemaking requirements, it is not subject to the regulatory flexibility provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 *et seq.* ). Unfunded Mandates Reform Act This action does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments or impose a significant intergovernmental mandate (2 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ). Paperwork Reduction Act This action does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ). Executive Order 12866 This action is not a “significant regulatory action” and is therefore not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735 (Oct. 4, 1993)).
