‘‘Final Recommendations of the 

Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force’’. 

SUMMARY: On June 12, 2009, the 

President established an Interagency 

Ocean Policy Task Force, led by the 

Chair of the Council on Environmental 

Quality. The Task Force was charged 

with developing, with appropriate 

public input, a recommended national 

policy for the stewardship of the ocean, 

our coasts, and the Great Lakes; a 

framework for policy coordination, 

including specific recommendations to 

improve coordination and collaboration 

among Federal, State, tribal, and local 

authorities, and regional governance 

structures; an implementation strategy 

that identifies a set of priority 

objectives; and a framework for effective 

costal and marine spatial planning. 

On July 19, 2010, the Task Force 

submitted its Final Recommendations to 

the President. They provide: (1) Our 

Nation’s first ever National Policy for 

the Stewardship of the Ocean, Our 

Coasts, and the Great Lakes; (2) a 

strengthened governance structure to 

provide sustained, high-level, and 

coordinated attention to ocean, coastal, 

and Great Lakes issues; (3) a targeted 

implementation strategy that identifies 

and prioritizes nine categories for action 

that the United States should pursue; 

and (4) a framework for effective coastal 

and marine spatial planning that 

establishes a comprehensive, integrated, 

ecosystem-based approach to address 

conservation, economic activity, user 

conflict, and sustainable use of ocean, 

coastal, and Great Lakes resources. 

DATES: None. 

ADDRESSES: The Task Force’s Final 

Recommendations are available at 

http://www.whitehouse.gov/oceans or 

by writing to The Council on 

Environmental Quality, Attn: Michael 

Weiss, 722 Jackson Place, NW., 

Washington, DC 20503.

Director for Ocean and Coastal Policy,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

12, 2009, President Obama issued a 

Memorandum to the Heads of Executive 

Departments and Agencies that 

established an Interagency Ocean Policy 

Task Force, led by the Chair of the 

Council on Environmental Quality. That 

Presidential memo charged the Task 

Force with, within 90 days, developing 

recommendations that include: (1) A 

national policy for the oceans, our 

coasts, and the Great Lakes; (2) a United 

States framework for policy 

coordination of efforts to improve 

stewardship of the oceans, our coasts, 

and the Great Lakes; and (3) an 

implementation strategy that identifies 

and prioritizes a set of objectives the 

United States should pursue to meet the 

objectives of a national policy. On 

September 17, 2009, the Task Force’s 

Interim Report addressing these three 

items was issued for 30 days public 

comment. The comment period ended 

on October 17, 2009. 

The Task Force was also charged 

with, within 180 days, developing a 

recommended framework for effective 

coastal and marine spatial planning. 

The memorandum provides that the 

framework should be ‘‘a comprehensive, 

integrated, ecosystem-based approach 

that addresses conservation, economic 

activity, user conflict, and sustainable 

use of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes 

resources consistent with international 

law, including customary international 

law as reflected in the 1982 United 

Nations Convention on the Law of the 

Sea.’’ On December 14, 2009, the Task 

Force’s Interim Framework addressing 

this item was issued for 60 days public 

comment. The comment period ended 

on February 12, 2010. 

In response to this direction, the Task 

Force has completed its Final 

Recommendations of the Interagency 

Ocean Policy Task Force (Final 

Recommendations). The Task Force 

Final Recommendations set a new 

direction for improved stewardship of 

the ocean, our coasts, and the Great 

Lakes. They provide: (1) Our Nation’s 

first ever National Policy for the 

Stewardship of the Ocean, Our Coasts, 

and the Great Lakes; (2) a strengthened 

governance structure to provide 

sustained, high-level, and coordinated 

attention to ocean, coastal, and Great 

Lakes issues; (3) a targeted 

implementation strategy that identifies 

and prioritizes nine categories for action 

that the United States should pursue; 

and (4) a framework for effective coastal 

and marine spatial planning that 

establishes a comprehensive, integrated, 

ecosystem-based approach to address 

conservation, economic activity, user 

conflict, and sustainable use of ocean, 

coastal, and Great Lakes resources. 

The Final Recommendations are now 

available at the National Ocean Council 

Web site at http://www.whitehouse.gov/

the FPA (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). 

On November 17, 2003, the 

Department of Energy (DOE) issued 

Order No. EA–281, which authorized 

Manitoba to transmit electric energy 

from the United States to Canada as a 

power marketer using existing 

international transmission facilities for a 

two-year term. DOE renewed the 

Manitoba export authorization as of 

November 17, 2005, in Order No. EA– 

281–A for an additional five-year term. 

That Order will expire on November 17, 

2010. On July 15, 2010, Manitoba filed 

an application with DOE for renewal of 

the export authority contained in Order 

No. EA–281–A for an additional tenyear term. 

The electric energy that Manitoba 

proposes to export to Canada would be 

surplus energy purchased from electric 

utilities, Federal power marketing 

agencies, and other entities within the 

United States. The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

Manitoba have previously been 

authorized by Presidential permits

Energy Employees Occupational 

Illness Compensation Program Act of 

2000; Corrected Revision to List of 

Covered Facilities 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of corrected 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’’). On June 30, 2010, 

DOE published a notice (75 FR 37781) 

that amended the previous lists. DOE 

has determined that the June 30, 2010, 

notice should be replaced. This 

corrected notice now replaces the 

previous lists by removing two facilities 

designated as atomic weapons employer 

(AWE) facilities that should not have 

been so designated. Previous lists or 

revisions were published on April 9, 

2009, June 28, 2007, November 30, 

2005, August 23, 2004, July 21, 2003,

ADDRESSES: The Department welcomes 

comments on this notice. Comments

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.’’ 

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. 

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. This change has no 

effect on the determination of the 

Department of Labor that the work site 

is a DOE facility.

2010.
