Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 125 / Wednesday, June 30, 2010 / Notices 37781 

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.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Energy Employees Occupational 

Illness Compensation Program Act of 

2000; Revision to List of Covered 

Facilities 

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’’). This notice 

amends the previous lists by (1) 

Removing two facilities designated as 

atomic weapons employer (AWE) 

facilities that should not have been so 

designated; (2) correcting the covered 

periods for three listed AWE facilities; 

and (3) identifying an additional work 

site for each of two previously listed 

facilities. In addition, for one of the 

listed facilities for which a second work 

site is being identified, there is a related 

change in the covered period. Previous 

lists or revisions were published on

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.

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.
