hold a new competition in FY 2010. Authorizing current grantees to request additional funds would be a more appropriate and effective means of continuing current projects and would result in a more cost-effective use of Federal funds.

Therefore, the Secretary proposes to waive the requirements in 34 CFR 75.250, which prohibit project periods exceeding five years, and the requirements in 34 CFR 75.261(c)(2), which limit the extension of a project period if it involves the obligation of additional Federal funds. With this waiver and extension of project period: (1) Current Presidential Academies and Congressional Academies grantees would receive FY 2010 funds and continue to operate through FY 2012 to implement an additional budget period of up to 24 months; and (2) we would not announce a new competition or make new awards under the Presidential Academies or Congressional Academies programs in FY 2010.

If the waiver of 34 CFR 75.250 and 34 CFR 75.261(c)(2) proposed in this notice is made, the requirements applicable to continuation awards for current Presidential Academies and Congressional Academies grantees in 34 CFR 75.253 would apply to any continuation awards sought by eligible current grantees under these programs.

The waiver of 34 CFR 75.250 and 75.261(c)(2) would not exempt current Presidential Academies and Congressional Academies grantees from the account-closing provisions of 31 U.S.C. 1552(a), nor would it extend the availability of funds previously awarded to current grantees. As a result of 31 U.S.C. 1552(a), appropriations available for a limited period may be used for payment of valid obligations for only five years after the expiration of their period of availability for Federal obligation. After that time, the unexpended balance of those funds is canceled and returned to the U.S. Treasury Department and is unavailable for restoration for any purpose.

We will announce the final waiver and extension of project period, if any, in a notice in the Federal Register. We will determine the final waiver and extension of project period after considering responses to this notice and other information available to the Department. Proposed Waiver and Extension of Project Period—Presidential Academies and Congressional Academies

The Secretary proposes to waive the requirements in 34 CFR 75.250 and 75.261(c)(2), which prohibit project periods exceeding five years and extensions of project periods that involve the obligation of additional Federal funds, for the current Presidential Academies and Congressional Academies grantees. Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

The Secretary certifies that this proposed waiver and extension of project period would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

The small entities that would be affected by this notice are those that have been historically eligible to receive an award under a competition for the Presidential Academies and Congressional Academies programs:

(1) Institutions of higher education. (2) Museums. (3) Libraries. (4) Other public and private agencies, organizations and institutions (including for-profit institutions).

(5) Consortia of such agencies, organizations, and institutions that show their organizations’ demonstrated expertise in historical methodology or the teaching of history.

The Secretary certifies that the proposed waiver and extension of project period would not have a significant economic impact on these entities because the proposed waivers and the activities required to support the additional years of funding would not impose excessive regulatory burdens or require unnecessary Federal supervision. The proposed waiver would impose minimal requirements to ensure the proper expenditure of program funds, including requirements that are standard for continuation awards. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

This notice does not contain any information collection requirements. Intergovernmental Review

These programs are subject to Executive Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR part 79. One of the objectives of the Executive Order is to foster an intergovernmental partnership and a strengthened federalism. The Executive Order relies on processes developed by State and local governments for coordination and review of proposed Federal financial assistance.

This document provides early notification of our specific plans and actions for these programs.

**AGENCY :**  Department of Energy.

**ACTION :**  Notice of revision of list of covered facilities.

**SUMMARY :**  The Department of Energy ( ‘‘Department’’ or ‘‘DOE ’’ ) periodically publishes or revises a list of facilities covered under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000, as amended ( ‘‘EEOICPA ’’ or ‘‘Act’’ ).

and January 17, 2001. DOE intends to provide any future updates to its facility list only on its Web site.

**ADDRESSES :**  The Department welcomes comments on this notice. Comments should be addressed to: Patricia R. Worthington, PhD, 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, PhD, Director, Office of Health and Safety (HS–10), (301) 903–5926.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Purpose

The 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 the 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. ’’ The Act defines a DOE facility, in pertinent part, as ‘‘ any building, structure, or premise, including the grounds upon which such building, structure, or premise is located—(A) in which operations are, or have been, conducted by, or on behalf of, the Department of Energy . . .; and (B) with regard to which the Department of Energy has or had—(i) a proprietary interest; or (ii) entered into a contract with an entity to provide management and operation, management and integration, environmental remediation services, construction, or maintenance services. ’’

It has recently come to the attention of the Department that one facility was previously mistakenly designated as an AWE facility because the designated facility was owned by the U.S. Government, and the statutory definitions of AWE and AWE facility exclude facilities owned by the United States. A second entity identified as an AWE facility is being removed from the list because the work performed by that entity was not related to production of an atomic weapon and was not performed for, or on behalf of, DOE or its predecessor Agencies. DOE has also recently become aware of additional information regarding the work locations for two previously listed AWEs and related periods of covered work; and needed corrections for the covered time period for three other covered facilities on the list. This new information is reflected in changes to the list of covered facilities. DOE intends to provide any future updates to its facility list only on its Web site found at: http://www.hss.doe.gov/ healthsafety/FWSP/Advocacy/faclist/ findfacility.cfm. This notice formally makes the changes to the list as indicated below:

• Painsville Site (Diamond Magnesium Company) of Ohio is no longer designated as an AWE facility because the work performed at that site was not related to atomic weapons production and was not conducted by, or on behalf of, DOE or its predecessor Agencies.

• St. Louis Airport Storage Site is no longer designated as an AWE facility because the facility was owned by the U.S. Government. However, it is currently designated by the Department of Labor as a DOE facility.

• The facility description for Babcock and Wilcox Technologies, Inc. (BWXT), Nuclear Facility in Lynchburg, Virginia, is modified by adding a second site where covered operations took place to reflect recently discovered information. In addition, the covered time period is being changed to include the period of time covered work was performed at this second site. Thus, an additional time from 1956 to 1959 is being added.

• The covered period for Blockson Chemical Company in Joliet, Illinois, is changed from 1951–1962 to 1951–June 1960 because newly discovered information indicates that no uranium processing took place at that facility for the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), a predecessor to DOE, after June 1960.

• The facility description for Carborundum Company, of Niagara Falls, New York, is changed by adding a second distinct work location for this company, and the time period of the work performed is changed to include the years 1943–1944 and 1959–1967. These changes are made to reflect recently discovered information.

• The covered period for Texas City Chemicals, Inc. (TCC), Texas City, Texas, is changed from 1952–1956 to October 1953–September 1955 to reflect recently discovered records, which indicates that the work on behalf of AEC was not begun until October 1953 and ended in September 1955.

• The covered period for the Wah Chang facility in Albany, Oregon, is changed from 1956–1959 to 1971–1972 based on recently discovered information.

Issued in Washington, DC, on June 21,
2010. Glenn S. Podonsky, Chief Health, Safety and Security Officer, Office of Health, Safety and Security.
