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) 2008. 

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the 

Department of Energy (DOE) acceptance 

of claims in FY 2007 from eligible active 

uranium and thorium processing sites 

for reimbursement under Title X of the 

Energy Policy Act of 1992. For FY 2007, 

DOE requested Congress to appropriate 

$20 million for reimbursement of 

certain costs of remedial action at these 

sites. As of the date of this notice, a final 

appropriation has not been received for 

FY 2007. Therefore, the total amount of 

funds for reimbursing Title X claims in 

FY 2007 is not known. The approved 

amount of claims submitted during FY 

2006 and unpaid approved balances for 

claims submitted in prior years will be 

paid by April 30, 2007, 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 2007 appropriations, 

unpaid approved claim balances 

(approximately $2.8 million), and 

claims received in May 2006 

(approximately $25 million). 

DATES: The closing date for the 

submission of claims in FY 2007 is May 

1, 2007. These new claims will be 

processed for payment by April 30, 

2008, together with unpaid approved 

claim balances from prior years, based 

on the availability of funds from 

congressional appropriations. 

ADDRESSES: Claims should be forwarded 

by certified or registered mail, return 

receipt requested, to Mr. David Alan 

Hicks, Title X Program Manager, U.S. 

Department of Energy/EMCBC, @ 

Denver Federal Center, P.O. Box 25547, 

Denver, Colorado 80225–0547. Three 

copies of the claim should be included 

with each submission. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Contact David Mathes at (301) 903–7222 

of the U.S. Department of Energy, Office 

of Environmental Management, Office of 

Disposal Operations. 

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 11th day 

of January, 2007.
