“The Director has two administrative interests that suffice to give him standing. Should the Board’s decision stand, the Director will be forced to devote substantial administrative resources to the readjudication of claims initially heard by hearing officers not appointed under [the Administrative Procedure Act]. Second, since § 421(b)(2)(F) of the amended FCMHSA, 30 U.S.C. § 931 (b)(2)(F), directs the Secretary to assess the adequacy of state workmen’s compensation laws by determining whether they are consistent with procedures set forth in the incorporated LHWCA, the Secretary or his designated officials need to know whether the amended or the original LHWCA provisions are applicable.”
