Sec. 702.102  Establishment and modification of compensation districts, establishment of suboffices and jurisdictional areas.

    (a) The Director has, pursuant to section 39(b) of the Longshore and 
Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C. 939(b), established 
compensation districts as required for improved administration or as 
otherwise determined by the Director (see 51 FR 4282, Feb. 3, 1986). The 
boundaries of the compensation districts may be modified at any time, 
and the Director shall notify all interested parties directly by mail of 
the modifications.
    (b) As administrative exigencies from time to time may require, the 
Director may, by administrative order, establish special areas outside 
the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii, or change or modify 
any areas so established, notwithstanding their inclusion within an 
established compensation district. Such areas shall be designated 
``jurisdictional areas.'' The Director shall also designate which of his 
district directors shall be in charge thereof.
    (c) To further aid in the efficient administration of the OWCP, the 
Director may from time to time establish suboffices within compensation 
districts or jurisdictional areas, and shall designate a person to be in 
charge thereof.
