- Purpose and Scope. This Chapter describes the LHWCA District
Office (DO) Statistical Report, Form LS-3 (Exhibit 2, PM 10-200), and the
procedures for its preparation and submission to the National Office (NO). It
applies to all DOs administering the LHWCA, as extended, with the exception of
the District of Columbia Workmen's Compensation Act. This report provides the
DOs and the NO with statistical information on a number of case processing
activities such as new cases created, cases closed, conferences, etc., during
the reporting period.
- Related Chapters. This Chapter incorporates and augments
Chapter 2 Part 9 (Statistical Report Generation) of the Longshore Case
Management System (LCMS) Manual which describes the procedures for generating
the automated statistical reports. Chapter 9-300 of the LHWCA Procedure Manual
deals with preparation of Form LS-3s, the Supplemental Statistical Report.
- Responsibilities.
- The District Director (DD) is responsible for insuring the
accuracy of the reports by providing necessary training to DO staff on the
timely and accurate entry of required data into the LCMS. When the LS-3 is
generated by the LCMS, the DD is also responsible for reviewing the report for
accuracy and consistency.
- All DO staff must enter accurate and timely data into the LCMS
for case processing actions within their individual areas of responsibility.
- Reporting Period. The LS-3 covers the period from the
beginning of business of the first work day of the month through the last work
day of the month. To insure accurate and complete statistics the report should
be run on the evening of the last work day of the month or first thing on the
morning of the first work day of the new month.
- Definitions. The LS-3 reports on seventeen categories of case
status and case processing activities, several of which are further delineated
into subcategories (see Form LS-3, Exhibit 2, PM 10-200). For example, Item 3
summarizes case status for the current month in three categories: a. Open
Cases, b. Closed Cases, and c. Total Cases. Each of these in turn is broken out
by the particular LHWCA extension under which the case was reported.
- Submission of Report. The LS-3, LS-3s and the Workload and
Performance Standards report should be telefaxed or e-mailed to the National
Office at the end of each month. The reports should be sent so as to be
received in the National Office no later than 5 work days after the last
workday of the report month.
