Abstract
On July 2, 1997, the Department of Labor published a proposal to amend various provisions of the regulations implementing the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA). More specifically, the amendments, which are now being published in final with only minor word changes in Secs. 702.204 and 702.236, will increase the maximum civil penalties that may be assessed under the LHWCA as required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (FCPIAA), as amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA).
