Department of the Navy 

Meeting of the U.S. Naval Academy 

Board of Visitors

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of partially closed 

meeting. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Naval Academy 

Board of Visitors will meet to make such 

inquiry, as the Board shall deem 

necessary into the state of morale and 

discipline, the curriculum, instruction, 

physical equipment, fiscal affairs, and 

academic methods of the Naval 

Academy. The meeting will include 

discussions of personnel issues at the 

Naval Academy, the disclosure of which 

would constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of personal privacy. The 

executive session of this meeting will be 

closed to the public.

DATES: The open session of the meeting 

will be held on Friday, December 17, 

2004, from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The 

closed Executive Session will be held 

from 10:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in 

the Bo Coppedge Room of Alumni Hall 

at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, 

MD.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Lieutenant Commander T.J. Linardi, 

Executive Secretary to the Board of 

Visitors, Office of the Superintendent, 

U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice of meeting is provided per the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 

U.S.C. App. 2). The executive session of 

the meeting will consist of discussions 

of personnel issues at the Naval 

Academy and internal Board of Visitors 

matters. Discussion of such information 

cannot be adequately segregated from 

other topics, which precludes opening 

the executive session of this meeting to 

the public. Accordingly, the Secretary of 

the Navy has determined in writing that 

the meeting shall be partially closed to 

the public because it will be concerned 

with matters listed in section 552b(c)(2), 

(5), (6), (7) and (9) of title 5, United 

States Code. Due to unavoidable delay 

in administrative processing, the normal 

15 days notice could not be provided.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Reimbursement for Costs of Remedial 

Action at Active Uranium and Thorium 

Processing Sites

AGENCY: Office of Environmental 

Management, Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of the acceptance of Title 

X claims for reimbursement in fiscal 

year (FY) 2005 and the acceptance of 

plans for subsequent remedial action. 

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the 

Department of Energy (DOE) acceptance 

of claims in FY 2005 from eligible active 

uranium and thorium processing sites 

for reimbursement under Title X of the 

Energy Policy Act of 1992. For FY 2005, 

Congress has appropriated 

approximately $80 million for 

reimbursement of certain costs of 

remedial action at these sites. Because 

of the amount of unpaid approved 

claims within the current 

reimbursement ceilings (approximately 

$56 million), DOE plans to accelerate 

the FY 2005 reimbursements to 

licensees in advance of the April 30, 

2005, regulatory deadline, subject to 

availability of congressional 

appropriations for prior year claims that 

have been previously approved. The 

approved amount of claims submitted 

during FY 2004 will be paid by April 

30, 2005, subject to the availability of 

funds. If the available funds are less 

than the total approved claims, these 

payments will be prorated, if necessary, 

based on the amount of available FY 

2005 appropriations, unpaid approved 

claim balances (approximately $56 

million), and claims received in May 

2004 (approximately $25 million). 

This notice also announces the DOE 

acceptance of plans for subsequent 

decontamination, decommissioning, 

reclamation, and other remedial action 

(Plans for Subsequent Remedial Action). 

If Title X licensees expect to incur 

remedial action costs for remedial 

action after December 31, 2007, 

licensees must submit a Plan for 

Subsequent Remedial Action during 

calendar year (CY) 2005 or 2006, and 

DOE must approve a Plan submitted by 

a licensee by the end of CY 2007, if the 

costs incurred after CY 2007 are to be 

eligible for reimbursement.

DATES: The closing date for the 

submission of claims in FY 2005 is May 

2, 2005. These new claims will be 

processed for payment by April 29, 

2006, together with unpaid approved 

claim balances from prior years, based 

on the availability of funds from 

congressional appropriations. Plans for 

Subsequent Remedial Action may be 

submitted anytime after January 1, 2005, 

but no later than December 31, 2006.

ADDRESSES: Claims and Plans for 

Subsequent Remedial Action should be 

forwarded by certified or registered 

mail, return receipt requested, to the 

U.S. Department of Energy, National 

Nuclear Security Administration 

Service Center, Environmental Programs 

Department, PO Box 5400, 

Albuquerque, NM 87185–5400, or by 

express mail to the U.S. Department of 

Energy, National Nuclear Security 

Administration Service Center, 

Environmental Programs Department, H 

and Pennsylvania Streets, Albuquerque, 

NM 87116. All claims should be 

addressed to the attention of Mr. Gilbert 

Maldonado. Two copies of the claim 

should be included with each 

submission.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Contact Gilbert Maldonado at (505) 845–

4035 of the U.S. Department of Energy, 

National Nuclear Security 

Administration Service Center, 

Environmental Programs Department.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE 

published a final rule under 10 CFR part 

765 in the Federal Register on May 23, 

1994, (59 FR 26714) to carry out the 

requirements of Title X of the Energy 

Policy Act of 1992 (sections 1001–1004 

of Pub. L. 102–486, 42 U.S.C. 2296a et 

seq.) and to establish the procedures for 

eligible licensees to submit claims for 

reimbursement. DOE amended the final 

rule on June 3, 2003, (68 FR 32955) to 

adopt several technical and 

administrative amendments (e.g., 

statutory increases in the 

reimbursement ceilings). Title X 

requires DOE to reimburse eligible 

uranium and thorium licensees for 

certain costs of decontamination, 

decommissioning, reclamation, and 

other remedial action incurred by 

licensees at active uranium and thorium 

processing sites to remediate byproduct 

material generated as an incident of 

sales to the United States Government. 

To be reimbursable, costs of remedial 

action must be for work which is 

necessary to comply with applicable 

requirements of the Uranium Mill 

Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978 

(42 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.) or, where 

appropriate, with requirements 

established by a State pursuant to a 

discontinuance agreement under section 

274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 

(42 U.S.C. 2021). Claims for 

reimbursement must be supported by 

reasonable documentation as 

determined by DOE in accordance with 

10 CFR part 765. Funds for 

reimbursement will be provided from 

the Uranium Enrichment 

Decontamination and Decommissioning 

Fund established at the United States 

Department of Treasury pursuant to 

section 1801 of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2297g). Payment or 

obligation of funds shall be subject to 

the requirements of the Anti-Deficiency 

Act (31 U.S.C. 1341).

Authority: Section 1001–1004 of Public 

Law 102–486, 106 Stat. 2776 (42 U.S.C. 

2296a et seq.).

Issued in Washington DC on this 14th of 

December, 2004.
