Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 3, 2011 / Notices 24871 

Education to advise the Secretary of 

Education on the funding and 

administration (including the 

development of regulations, and 

administrative policies and practices) of 

any program over which the Secretary 

has jurisdiction and includes Indian 

children or adults as participants or 

programs that may benefit Indian 

children or adults, including any 

program established under Title VII, 

Part A of the Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act. The Council submits to 

the Congress, not later than June 30 of 

each year, a report on the activities of 

the Council that includes 

recommendations the Council considers 

appropriate for the improvement of 

Federal education programs that include 

Indian children or adults as participants 

or that may benefit Indian children or 

adults, and recommendations 

concerning the funding of any such 

program. 

One of the Council’s responsibilities 

is to develop and provide 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

Education on the funding and 

administration (including the 

development of regulations, and 

administrative policies and practices) of 

any program over which the Secretary 

has jurisdiction that can benefit Indian 

children or adults participating in any 

program which could benefit Indian 

children. The purpose of this closed 

meeting is to convene the Council to 

review, advise, and provide 

recommendations to the Secretary on 

the procurement of services to 

accomplish this responsibility. Council 

members will discuss contract options 

and costs during the closed meeting. 

The meeting must be conducted in 

closed session because public 

discussion of procurement information 

would disclose independent 

government cost estimates and 

contracting options, adversely 

impacting the confidentiality of the 

contracting process and is therefore 

protected by exemption 9(B) of section 

552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C.

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 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 25th of 

April 2011.
