eligible uranium and thorium 

processing site licensees for 

reimbursement under the Energy Policy 

Act of 1992. The FY 2023 DOE Office

Congressional Budget Request included 

$24.4 million for the Title X Uranium 

and Thorium Reimbursement Program. 

DATES: The closing date for the 

submission of FY 2022 Title X claims is 

September 7, 2022. The claims will be 

processed for payment together with 

any eligible unpaid approved claim

All reimbursements are subject to the 

availability of funds from congressional 

appropriations. 

ADDRESSES: Claims must be submitted

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. The eligible licensees 

incurred these costs to remediate 

byproduct material, generated as an 

incident of sales to the United States 

Government of uranium or thorium that 

was extracted or concentrated from ores 

processed primarily for their source 

material contents. To be reimbursable, 

costs of remedial action must be for 

work that is necessary to comply with 

applicable requirements of the Uranium 

Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 

1978, as amended (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, as amended (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.).
