DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Reimbursement for Costs of Remedial

Action at Active Uranium and Thorium

Processing Sites

AGENCY: Office of Environmental

Management, Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of the acceptance of

claims and the availability of funds for

reimbursements in fiscal year 1995.

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the

Department of Energy’s acceptance of

claims for reimbursement and the

availability of approximately $41.7

million in funds for fiscal year 1995 for

reimbursements of certain costs of

remedial action at eligible active

uranium and thorium processing sites

pursuant to Title X of the Energy Policy

Act of 1992. The Department of Energy

anticipates that claims submitted by

licensees in fiscal year 1995 together

with outstanding approved claims from

fiscal year 1994 will exceed $41.7

million and would therefore be subject

to prorated payment. In addition, the

Department of Energy is announcing an

adjustment for inflation to the statutory

per dry short ton limit on

reimbursement to uranium licensees

and the aggregate limit on

reimbursement to uranium and thorium

licensees. Lastly, the Department of

Energy is announcing changes in the

quantity of Federal-related or total dry

short tons of byproduct material and

Federal reimbursement ratio for the

Western Nuclear Incorporated, Split

Rock mill site, in Jeffrey City, Wyoming,

and the American Nuclear Corporation,

Gas Hills mill site, in Gas Hills,

Wyoming, and the preliminary per dry

short ton limit on reimbursement to

uranium licensees.

DATES: The closing date for the

submission of claims for reimbursement

in fiscal year 1995 is June 16, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Claims may be mailed to the

Environmental Restoration Division,

U.S. Department of Energy, 2155

Louisiana NE., Suite 10000,

Albuquerque, NM 87110. All claims

should be addressed to the attention of

James B. Coffey and sent by registered

or certified mail, return receipt

requested.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

James Coffey, Environmental

Restoration Division, U.S. Department

of Energy, (505) 845–4628.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department of Energy published a final

rule under 10 CFR part 765 in the

Federal Register on May 23, 1994 (59

FR 26714) to implement 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. Title X requires the

Department of Energy 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 of costs of remedial

action must be supported by reasonable

documentation as determined by the

Department of Energy in accordance

with 10 CFR part 765. Section

1001(b)(2) of the Energy Policy Act of

1992 limits the amount of

reimbursement paid to any one licensee

of an active uranium site to an amount

not to exceed $5.50, as adjusted

annually for inflation, multiplied by the

dry short tons of byproduct material

located at the site on October 24, 1992,

and generated as an incident of sales to

the United States. Total reimbursement,

in the aggregate, for work performed at

the active uranium processing sites shall

not exceed $270 million, as adjusted

annually for inflation. Total

reimbursement for work performed at

the active thorium processing site shall

not exceed $40 million, as adjusted

annually for inflation, and is limited to

costs incurred for offsite disposal.

Funds for reimbursement will be

provided from the Uranium Enrichment

Decontamination and Decommissioning

Fund established at the United States

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).

To make the inflation adjustments

indicated above, the Department of

Energy is required by 10 CFR 765.12 to

apply the Consumer Price Index-Urban

(CPI-U) annually, beginning in 1994,

using the CPI-U as published by the

Bureau of Labor Statistics within the

Department of Commerce for the

preceding calendar year. The CPI-U for

1993 was 1.030. Therefore, the adjusted

values of the $5.50 per dry short ton,

$270 million, and $40 million statutory

ceilings in 1994 were $5.67 per dry

short ton, $278.1 million, and $41.2

million, respectively (i.e., $5.50, $270

million, and $40 million multiplied by

1.030 equals $5.67, $278.1 million, and
