1Opinion of the Court

PHILLIPS, Circuit Judge:

Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. (Newport News) has petitioned for review of the Benefits Review Board’s decision and order modifying the Administrative Law Judge’s benefits award to Sam A. Howard under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), as amended, 33 U.S.C. §§ 901 et seq. The BRB, adopting the Director’s interpretation of 33 U.S.C. § 908(f) (hereinafter § 8(f)) of the LHWCA, held that the ALJ had erroneously failed to find Newport News liable for 104 weeks of Howard’s permanent total disability benefits award. We affirm.
