                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS
 
  CHAPTER VI--EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 701--GENERAL; ADMINISTERING AGENCY; DEFINITIONS AND USE OF TERMS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 701.102  Organization of this subchapter.

    This part 701 is intended to provide a general description of the 
regulations in this subchapter, information as to the persons and 
agencies within the Department of Labor authorized by the Secretary of 
Labor to administer the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation 
Act and its extensions and the regulations in this subchapter, and 
guidance as to the meaning and use of specific terms in the several 
parts of this subchapter. Part 702 of this subchapter contains the 
general administrative regulations governing claims filed under the 
LHWCA, and part 703 of this subchapter contains the regulations 
governing authorization of insurance carriers, authorization of self-
insurers, and issuance of certificates of compliance with said insurance 
regulations, as required by sections 32 and 37 of the LHWCA, 33 U.S.C. 
932, 937. Inasmuch as the extensions of the LHWCA (see Sec. 701.101) 
incorporate by reference nearly all of the provisions of the LHWCA, such 
that the regulations governing the latter apply to the extensions with 
very few exceptions, it has been determined that no useful purpose would 
be served by repeating the same provisions for each of the extensions. 
Accordingly, the regulations in parts 702 and 703 shall apply to the 
administration of the extensions (DBA, DCCA, OCSLA, and NFIA), unless 
otherwise noted. The exceptions to the general applicability of parts 
702 and 703 of this subchapter are set forth in succeeding parts in this 
subchapter. Part 704 of this subchapter contains the exceptions for the 
DBA, the DCCA, the OCSLA, and the NFIA.
