DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Reimbursement for Costs of Remedial 

Action at Active Uranium and Thorium 

Processing Sites 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of the acceptance of Title 

X claims during fiscal year (FY) 2011. 

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the 

Department of Energy (DOE) acceptance 

of claims in FY 2011 from eligible active 

uranium and thorium processing site 

licensees for reimbursement under Title 

X of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. In 

FY 2009, Congress appropriated $70 

million for Title X in the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 

(Recovery Act). In addition, Congress 

provided $10 million for Title X through 

the normal appropriation process. As of 

the end of FY 2010, there are 

approximately $24.3 million of 

Recovery Act funds available for 

reimbursement in FY 2011, as well as 

the $10 million provided by the FY 

2009 appropriation. Approximately $9 

million of the Recovery Act funds will 

be reimbursed to licensees in early 

calendar year 2011 following the review 

of claims received by April 30, 2010. 

DATES: The closing date for the 

submission of claims in FY 2011 is 

April 29, 2011. These new claims will 

be processed for payment by April 30, 

2012, together with any eligible unpaid 

approved claim balances from prior 

years, based on the availability of funds 

from congressional appropriations. If 

the total of approved claim amounts 

exceeds the available funding, the 

approved claim amounts will be 

reimbursed on a prorated basis. All 

reimbursements are subject to the 

availability of funds from congressional 

appropriations. 

ADDRESSES: Claims should be forwarded 

by certified or registered mail, return 

receipt requested, to Mr. David Alan

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 Pub. L. 

102–486, 106 Stat. 2776 (42 U.S.C. 2296a et 

seq.).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collected by the FERC– 

725D, ‘‘Facilities Design, Connections 

and Maintenance Reliability Standards’’ 

(OMB Control No. 1902–0247), is 

required to implement the statutory 

provisions of section 215 of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA) (16 USC 824o). On 

August 8, 2005, the Electricity 

Modernization Act of 2005, which is 

Title XII, Subtitle A, of the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), was 

enacted into law.1 EPAct 2005 added a 

new section 215 to the FPA, which 

required a Commission-certified Electric 

Reliability Organization (ERO) to 

develop mandatory and enforceable 

reliability standards, which are subject 

to Commission review and approval. 

Once approved, the reliability standards 

may be enforced by the ERO subject to 

Commission oversight, or the 

Commission can independently enforce 

reliability standards.2

On February 3, 2006, the Commission 

issued Order No. 672, implementing 

section 215 of the FPA. Pursuant to 

Order No. 672, the Commission certified 

one organization, North American 

Electric Reliability Council (NERC), as 

the ERO. The reliability standards 

developed by the ERO and approved by 

the Commission will apply to users, 

owners and operators of the Bulk-Power 

System, as set forth in each reliability 

standard. 

On November 15, 2006, NERC filed 20 

revised reliability standards and three 

new reliability standards for 

Commission approval. The Commission 

addressed the 20 revised Reliability 

Standards in Order No. 693.3 The three 

new reliability standards were approved 

by FERC on December 27, 2007 in Order 

705 and were designated by NERC as 

follows: 

• FAC–010–1 (System Operating 

Limits Methodology for the Planning 

Horizon). 

• FAC–011–1 (System Operating 

Limits Methodology for the Operations 

Horizon). 

• FAC–014–1 (Establish and 

Communicate System Operating Limits). 

These standards were subsequently 

modified by NERC in April of 2008 and 

submitted to the Commission for 

approval. On March 20, 2009 the 

Commission approved NERC’s 

modifications to the FAC standards in 

Order No. 722 and NERC now 

designates these standards as FAC–010– 

2, FAC–011–2, and FAC–014–2.4 The 

three newly approved FAC reliability 

standards require planning authorities 

and reliability coordinators to establish 

methodologies to determine system 

operating limits (SOLs) for the bulkWReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
