SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7384 
                    *et seq.*), was originally enacted on October 30, 2000. Primary responsibility for administration of EEOICPA was assigned to the Department of Labor (DOL) by Executive Order 13179 (“Providing Compensation to America's Nuclear Weapons Workers”) of December 7, 2000 (65 FR 77487). In 
                    ( print page 29723)
                    section 2(c)(vii) of that Order, DOE was directed to “publish in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     a list of atomic weapons employer facilities within the meaning of section [7384l(5)] of the Act, Department of Energy employer facilities within the meaning of section [7384l(12)] of the Act, and a list of facilities owned and operated by a beryllium vendor, within the meaning of section [7384l(6)] of the Act.” Pursuant to this direction, DOE initially published a list of all three types of facilities covered under EEOICPA on January 17, 2001 (66 FR 4003), and subsequently revised and republished the entire list on June 11, 2001 (66 FR 31218), December 27, 2002 (67 FR 79068), July 21, 2003 (68 FR 43095), and August 23, 2004 (69 FR 51825). In notices published on November 30, 2005 (70 FR 71815), June 28, 2007 (72 FR 35448) and April 9, 2009 (74 FR 16191), DOE further revised the list by formally removing a total of ten atomic weapons employer facilities from it without republishing the list in its entirety. Following the amendments to EEOICPA that were enacted as subtitle E of Title XXXI of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005, Public Law 108-375, 118 Stat. 1811, 2178 (October 28, 2004), DOL promulgated interim final and final regulations governing its expanded responsibilities under EEOICPA on June 8, 2005 (70 FR 33590) and December 29, 2006 (71 FR 78520). One of these regulations, 20 CFR 30.5(x)(2), indicates that DOL has adopted the list of DOE facilities that was published by DOE on August 23, 2004, and notes that “DOL will periodically update this list as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion by publishing a revised list of covered [DOE] facilities in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    .” In making these updates, 30.5(x)(1) specifies that the Director of OWCP is responsible for determining whether or not a particular work site under consideration meets the definition of a 
                    *Department of Energy facility.*
                     This sole responsibility is derived from the grant of primary authority to DOL to administer the EEOICPA claims process contained in section 2(a)(i) of Executive Order 13179. II. Purpose Since DOE last published a list of all three types of facilities covered under EEOICPA in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     on August 23, 2004, the Director of OWCP has made a number of determinations regarding the status of work sites in connection with claims filed under EEOICPA. Those determinations are described in this 
                    **Supplementary Information**
                     and are memorialized in the lists that follow. Six new sites have been added to the lists of DOE facilities published today: Two in New Mexico, two in Tennessee, one in Utah and one in Massachusetts. The two added in New Mexico are the Kirtland Operations Office at Kirtland Air Force Base (AFB) in Albuquerque, and Hangar 481 at Kirtland AFB. The two added in Tennessee are the former Clinton Engineer Works in Oak Ridge and the Office of Scientific and Technical Information also in Oak Ridge, the one added in Utah is the Uranium Mill in Moab, and the one added in Massachusetts is the former Hood Building in Cambridge. OWCP's research has also led it to rename or otherwise modify the designation of a few work sites that were previously included by DOE in its 
                    **Federal Register**
                     lists. The Huntington Pilot Plant in Huntington, West Virginia now appears in these lists as the Reduction Pilot Plant; however, only the name of this facility has changed. Second, the Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC), a facility with multiple locations in both Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, California has been divided into separate contiguous facilities and appears in the lists published today as the following four facilities—Area IV of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory in Ventura County; and the Canoga Complex, the De Soto Complex and the Downey Facility in Los Angeles County. Third, OWCP has determined that four of the five buildings (Buildings 30, 31, 37 and 38, but not 14) known collectively as the Linde Ceramics Plant in Tonawanda, New York, which were previously designated by DOE as an Atomic Weapons Employer (AWE) facility, actually constitute their own separate DOE facility. Fourth, OWCP has determined that Atomics International in Los Angeles County, California will no longer be considered to be a DOE facility; this action has no effect on the site's status as a statutory Beryllium Vendor facility. And finally, OWCP has determined that the previous DOE facility known as Gilman Hall, University of California in Berkeley, California, will no longer be considered a DOE facility because the University of California is the managing and operating contractor for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory rather than a work site. By incorporating these changes into the two lists found below, OWCP is presenting the public with the most current listing of DOE facilities in order to assist potential claimants and their families. OWCP is continuing its research efforts in this area, and further revisions of these lists should be expected. While DOE maintains a Web site (
                    *http://www.hss.energy.gov/​healthsafety/​fwsp/​advocacy/​faclist/​findfacility.cfm*) that provides information on AWE facilities, Beryllium Vendor facilities and DOE facilities to the public, the information on that Web site regarding DOE facilities should not be relied upon as it may not be up to date, nor is it binding on OWCP in its adjudication of any claims filed under EEOICPA. Instead, OWCP is solely authorized to give the public notice of determinations regarding DOE facilities. III. Introduction to the Lists The five complete lists previously published by DOE included all three types of work sites described in Executive Order 13179, 
                    *i.e.,*
                     AWE facilities, Beryllium Vendor facilities, and DOE facilities. The lists published today by OWCP, however, only include work sites that meet the statutory definition of a 
                    *Department of Energy facility*
                     found at section 7384l(12) of EEOICPA, because the authority to designate AWE facilities and Beryllium Vendor facilities has been granted to DOE, not DOL, pursuant to section 7384l(4)(B) of EEOICPA and section 2(c)(iv) of Executive Order 13179. However, since some work sites can meet the definition of more than one type of covered work site during either consecutive or concurrent time periods, simply presenting one list of DOE facilities (without also differentiating among them in some easily understood fashion) could lead the reader to wrongly conclude that a work site has always been a DOE facility when, in fact, it only had that status during a brief period. To lessen the potential for this type of misunderstanding, OWCP has decided to present two separate lists of DOE facilities. The first list consists exclusively of work sites that have only been DOE facilities for purposes of coverage under EEOICPA, and the second list consists of work sites that have also been at least one other type of covered work site in addition to a DOE facility. To see what other types of covered work sites the DOE facilities appearing in the second list are or have been, readers can refer to the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     notices published by DOE on August 23, 2004 (69 FR 51825), November 30, 2005 (70 FR 71815), June 28, 2007 (72 FR 35448) and April 9, 2009 (74 FR 16191). Because coverage under EEOICPA for DOE facilities is limited to periods during which “operations” were performed by or on behalf of DOE (or its 
                    ( print page 29724)
                    predecessor agencies), 
                    *and*
                     when DOE either had a proprietary interest in the site or had entered into a particular type of contract with an entity at the site, the lists below include date ranges during which covered employment at each site could have been performed. These date ranges, however, are not considered binding on OWCP in its adjudication of individual claims under EEOICPA and are presented in this notice for the sole purpose of informing the public of the current results of OWCP's research into the operational histories of these work sites, some of which extend back to the establishment of the Manhattan Engineer District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on August 13, 1942. OWCP's research efforts in this area are continuing, and it expects that the date ranges currently included in this notice will change with the publication of future notices. DOE facilities appearing on the lists that have undergone environmental remediation at the direction of or directly by DOE are identified by the following symbol—†—after the date range during with such environmental remediation occurred.
