              <Paragraph>The Department of Labor (DOL) was created by act of March 4, 1913 (29 U.S.C. 551). Congress first created a Bureau of Labor in the Interior Department by act of June 24, 1884. The Bureau of Labor later became independent as a Department of Labor without executive rank by act of June 13, 1888. It returned to bureau status in the Department of Commerce and Labor, which was created by act of February 14, 1903 (15 U.S.C. 1501; 29 U.S.C. 1 note).</Paragraph>

              <Paragraph>Prior to 1972, the Office of Administrative Law Judges (OALJ) comprised two Administrative Law Judges (referred to as "hearing examiners" until November 7, 1972) who adjudicated a small number of cases arising primarily under Presidential Executive Orders. In 1972, OALJ's role was significantly expanded to include a more diverse range of labor-related cases. It presently employs 42 judges in Washington, DC, and seven district offices located in various cities around the country. OALJ's judges are not political appointees and are guaranteed decisional independence by, and appointed under, the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 500 et seq. Judges within OALJ preside over trial-type hearings in various matters, including claims for compensation and medical or survivor’s benefits under the Longshore and Black Lung statutes; antidiscrimination and retaliation complaints arising under Executive Order 11246 and several whistleblower statutes; enforcement actions brought by other agencies within the Department of Labor such as the Wage and Hour Division and the Employee Benefits Security Administration; and immigration cases granting or denying employers' requests to hire foreign workers in numerous professional and nonprofessional occupations on either a temporary or permanent basis. Appeals from decisions by OALJ's judges are typically reviewed by either the Administrative Review Board or Benefits Review Board and subsequently by the U.S. Courts of Appeals and U.S. Supreme Court.</Paragraph>

              <Paragraph>By making timely and appropriate decisions on claims, promptly paying benefits, and helping workers return to their jobs quickly, the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) protects the interests of workers who are injured or become ill on the job. OWCP serves specific employee groups that are covered under four major disability compensation statutes by mitigating the financial burden resulting from workplace injury or illness and promoting return to work when appropriate. The statutes are the Federal Employees' Compensation Act, serving Federal employees; the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, serving certain employees engaged in maritime employment on navigable waters in the United States; the Black Lung Benefits Act, serving coal miners who are totally disabled due to pneumoconiosis, a respiratory disease associated with the prolonged inhalation of coal dust; and the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Act, serving eligible workers who became ill as a result of work in the nuclear weapons industry. Dependents or survivors may also be eligible for benefits.</Paragraph>

              <Heading>Administrative Review Board</Heading>
              <Paragraph>The Administrative Review Board (ARB) consists of five members appointed by the Secretary. It issues final agency decisions for appeals cases under a wide range of worker protection laws, including the McNamara O'Hara Service Contract Act and the Davis Bacon Act. The appeals cases primarily address environmental, transportation, and securities whistleblower protection; H-1B immigration provisions; child labor law violations; employment discrimination; job training; seasonal and migrant workers; and Federal construction and service contracts. The Board's cases generally arise upon appeal from decisions of Department of Labor Administrative Law Judges or the Administrator of the Department's Wage and Hour Division. Depending upon the statute at issue, the parties may appeal the Board's decisions to Federal district or appellate courts and, ultimately, to the U.S. Supreme Court.</Paragraph>
