DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Energy Employees Occupational 

Illness Compensation Program Act of 

2000; Revision to the List of Covered 

Facilities 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of revision of listing of 

covered facilities. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(‘‘Department’’ or ‘‘DOE’’) periodically 

publishes revisions to its list of facilities 

covered under the Energy Employees 

Occupational Illness Compensation 

Program Act of 2000, as amended 

(‘‘EEOICPA’’ or ‘‘Act’’). This notice 

amends the list of covered facilities by 

removing the designation of the 

Monsanto Chemical Company in 

Dayton, Ohio, and the United Lead 

Company of New Jersey as atomic 

weapons employer (AWE) facilities. 

ADDRESSES: The Department welcomes 

comments on this notice. Comments 

should be addressed to: Patricia R. 

Worthington, Ph.D., Director, Office of 

Health and Safety (HS–10), 

U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 

Independence Avenue SW., 

Washington, DC 20585. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Patricia R. Worthington, Ph.D., Director, 

Office of Health and Safety (HS–10), 

(301) 903–5926. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice amends the list of covered 

facilities by removing the designation of 

the Monsanto Chemical Company in 

Dayton, Ohio, and the United Lead 

Company of New Jersey as atomic 

weapons employer (AWE) facilities. 

Previous lists of revisions were 

published by DOE on May 26, 2011 (76 

Federal Register (FR) 102); June 30, 

2010 (75 FR 125), as amended August 3, 

2010 (75 FR 148); April 9, 2009 (74 FR 

67); June 28, 2007 (72 FR 124); 

November 30, 2005 (70 FR 229); August 

23, 2004 (69 FR 162); July 21, 2003 (68 

FR 139); December 27, 2002 (67 FR 249); 

June 11, 2001 (66 FR 112); and January 

17, 2001 (66 FR 11). 

Purpose 

EEOICPA establishes a program to 

provide compensation to certain 

employees who develop illnesses as a 

result of their employment with AWEs, 

DOE and its predecessor Agencies, 

certain of its contractors and 

subcontractors, and listed beryllium 

vendors. Section 3621(4) of the Act 

(codified at 42 U.S.C. 7384l(4)) defines 

an AWE as ‘‘an entity, other than the 

United States, that—(A) processed or 

produced, for use by the United States, 

material that emitted radiation and was 

used in the production of an atomic 

weapon, excluding uranium mining and 

milling; and (B) is designated by the 

Secretary of Energy as an [AWE] for 

purposes of the compensation 

program.’’ Section 3621(5) defines an 

AWE facility as ‘‘a facility, owned by an 

[AWE], that is or was used to process or 

produce, for use by the United States, 

material that emitted radiation and was 

used in the production of an atomic 

weapon, excluding uranium mining or 

milling.’’ 

It has recently come to the attention 

of the Department that the listing for the 

United Lead Company in Middlesex, 

New Jersey, was duplicative of the 

listing of the Middlesex Sampling 

Plant—a DOE facility in New Jersey for 

which United Lead Company was the 

operator. A second facility operated by 

the Monsanto Chemical Company in 

Dayton, Ohio, was mistakenly identified 

as an AWE facility. Records related to 

the Monsanto facility indicate that 

Monsanto provided construction and 

management and operations services at 

the Dayton facility during the period 

identified on the facility list pursuant to 

contracts with DOE and, therefore, it 

should not be designated as an AWE 

facility. 

This notice formally makes the 

changes to the listing of covered 

facilities as indicated below: 

• Removes the United Lead Company 

in Middlesex, New Jersey, as an AWE 

facility under EEOICPA because it was 

duplicative of the listing of the 

Middlesex Sampling Plant—a DOE 

facility in New Jersey for which the 

United Lead Company was the operator. 

• The Monsanto Chemical Company 

facility in Dayton, Ohio, is no longer 

designated as an AWE facility. This 

change has no effect on any 

determination by the Department of 

Labor regarding the status of the site. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on January 25, 

2012.
