Which of the following is NOT one of the three federal workers' compensation programs listed?

Federal workers’ compensation programs are designed to provide wage replacement and medical benefits for work-related injuries or illnesses. The programs that do this include FECA for federal employees, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act for maritime workers, and the Black Lung Benefits Act for coal miners. The Occupational Safety and Health Act, on the other hand, is a safety and health regulatory statute that sets standards and enforces them to prevent injuries. It does not itself provide compensation, which is why it’s not one of the federal workers’ compensation programs.
