1Opinion of the Court
POLITZ, Chief Judge:
Ingalls Shipbuilding, Inc. again seeks relief from statutory penalties for late payment of Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act 1 claims on the basis of a letter of excuse granted by the deputy commissioner 2 of the Department of Labor’s Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs. Bound by our prior decision holding this letter invalid, and declining to apply the principles of equitable estoppel against the government, we reject the petition for review and affirm the assessment of penalties by the Benefits Review Board.
