DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Convention on Supplementary 

Compensation for Nuclear Damage 

Contingent Cost Allocation 

AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel, 

Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of extension of public 

comment period for reply comments. 

SUMMARY: On July 27, 2010, the 

Department of Energy (DOE) published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

inquiry (NOI) and request for comment 

from the public in its development of 

regulations pertaining to section 934, of 

the Energy Independence and Security 

Act of 2007 (‘‘Act’’). Section 934 

addresses how the United States will 

meet its obligations under the 

Convention for Supplementary 

Compensation for Nuclear Damage 

(‘‘CSC’’) including its obligation to 

contribute to an international 

supplementary fund in the event of 

certain nuclear incidents. The NOI 

provided a September 27, 2010, 

deadline for comments, which was 

subsequently extended to October 27, 

2010 in response to a public request for 

extension. This notice announces a 

second and final extension of the 

comment period to November 30, 2010. 

DATES: DOE will accept comments and 

information regarding the NOI and the 

development of regulations under the 

Act received no later than November 30, 

2010. 

ADDRESSES: Any comments submitted 

must identify section 934 of the Act, as 

appropriate. Comments may be 

submitted using any of the following 

methods: 

• E-mail: 

Section934Rulemaking@Hq.Doe.Gov 

Include Section 934 in the subject line 

of the message.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

27, 2010, the DOE published an NOI in 

the Federal Register (75 FR 43945) on 

the development of regulations under 

section 934 of the Act, entitled 

‘‘Convention on Supplementary 

Compensation for Nuclear Damage 

Contingent Cost Allocation.’’ Section 

934 addresses how the United States 

will meet its obligations under the CSC 

and, in particular, its obligation to 

contribute to an international 

supplementary fund in the event of 

certain nuclear incidents. Section 934 

authorizes the Secretary of Energy to 

issue regulations establishing a 

retrospective risk pooling program by 

which nuclear suppliers will reimburse 

the United States government for any 

such contribution. This retrospective 

risk pooling program will operate with 

respect to nuclear incidents that are 

covered by the international 

supplementary fund, take place outside 

the United States, and are not covered 

by the Price-Anderson Act 

indemnification. 

The NOI requested public comment 

from interested persons regarding 

specific as well as general questions and 

provided for the submission of 

comments by September 27, 2010. 

Thereafter, DOE received comments 

dated August 10, 2010, from the Nuclear 

Energy Institute (NEI) stating that the 

issues related to the risk pooling 

program warranted additional time for 

nuclear suppliers to provide comments 

to DOE and requesting an extension to 

October 27, 2010. Accordingly, on 

August 24, 2010, DOE published a 

notice in the Federal Register (75 FR 

51986) extending the period for 

submitting public comments to October 

27, 2010. 

DOE has now received comments 

dated October 8, 2010, from Contractors 

International Group on Nuclear Liability 

(CIGNL), a nongovernmental group of 

major U.S. nuclear suppliers, requesting 

an extension of the public comment 

period to November 30, 2010. CIGNL 

stated that the complexity and number 

of issues presented in the NOI for public 

comment has made it difficult for 

CIGNL members to carefully review and 

coordinate comments. For example, 

CIGNL noted that there is little or no 

data now available to identify which 

entities located in, or carrying out 

activities in, the United States have or 

are furnishing goods or services to 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
64718 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 20, 2010 / Notices 

foreign nuclear installations and that it 

has so far identified as many as 300 to 

1,800 types of goods or services that go 

into constructing and operating a 

nuclear power plant. CIGNL stated its 

intent to work through these issues and 

difficulties with a view toward 

development of an approach to propose 

to DOE for establishing the CSC cost 

allocation formula among U.S. nuclear 

suppliers. As observed by CIGNL, it 

would be beneficial if the major U.S. 

nuclear suppliers provided to DOE 

comprehensive and informed comments 

on the cost allocation formula and 

related issues in response to the NOI. 

DOE has determined that extension of 

the comment period is appropriate 

based on the foregoing reasons and is 

hereby extending the comment period to 

November 30, 2010. Given the 

importance of proceeding in a timely 

manner toward development of 

regulations pertaining to section 934, 

DOE does not intend to grant any 

further extensions. Accordingly, DOE 

will consider any comments received by 

November 30, 2010 to be timely 

submitted. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on October 14, 

2010.
