SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval, under the PRA, for 
a reinstatement without change to the Securing Financial Obligations 
Under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act and its 
Extensions. Forms LS-275-IC, LS-275-SI and LS-276 cover the submission 
of information by insurance carriers and self-insured employers 
regarding their ability to meet their financial obligations under the 
Longshore Act and its extensions. This Information collection request 
allows the agency to use a previously approved version from the same 
information collection under the OMB Control Number provided with the 
original approval and has been classified as a reinstatement without 
change.
    This proposed information collection is subject to the PRA. A 
Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an 
information collection, unless the OMB under the PRA approves it and 
displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, 
notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally 
be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information if the collection of information does not display a valid 
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional 
substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice 
published in the Federal Register on November 5, 2019 (84 FR 59646).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty-(30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1240-0005. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     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 submission of responses.
