list only on its Web site. 

ADDRESSES: The Department welcomes

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.
