pursuant to Title X of the Energy Policy

Act of 1992. The Department of Energy

anticipates that claims submitted by

licensees in fiscal year 1997 together

Department of Energy published a final

rule under 10 CFR part 765 in the

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

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 the Department of Energy

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
