PER CURIAM:

       Zurich American Insurance Group seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s

decision and order affirming the administrative law judge’s award of black lung benefits

pursuant to 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-944 (2012). Our review of the record discloses that the

Board’s decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without reversible error.

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. Zurich

Am. Ins. Grp. v. Dir., Office of Workers’ Comp. Programs, No. 16-0122-BLA (B.R.B.

Oct. 26, 2016). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.

                                                                   PETITION DENIED
