Every obligation and duty in respect of payment of compensation, the
providing of medical and other treatment and care, the payment or
furnishing of any other benefit required by said Act and in respect of
the carrying out of the administrative procedure required or imposed by
said Act or the regulations in this part upon an employer shall be
discharged and carried out by the carrier except that the prescribed
report of injury or death shall be sent by the employer to the district
director and to the insurance carrier as required by 33 U.S.C. 930. Such
carrier shall be jointly responsible with the employer for the
submission of all reports, notices, forms, and other administrative
papers required by the district director or the Office in the
administration of said Act to be submitted by the employer, but any form
or paper so submitted where required therein shall contain in addition

employer on whose behalf it is submitted. Notice to or knowledge of an
employer of the occurrence of the injury or death shall be notice to or
knowledge of such carrier. Jurisdiction of the employer by a district
director, the Office, or appropriate appellate authority under said Act
shall be jurisdiction of such carrier. Any requirement under any
compensation order, finding, or decision shall be binding upon such
carrier in the same manner and to the same extent as upon the employer.
