DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Update on Reimbursement for Costs of 

Remedial Action at Uranium and 

Thorium Processing Sites 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of the Title X claims 

during fiscal year (FY) 2017. 

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the 

Department of Energy’s (DOE) 

acceptance of claims in FY 2017 from 

eligible uranium and thorium 

processing site licensees for 

reimbursement under Title X of the 

Energy Policy Act of 1992. The 

Consolidated Appropriations Act of 

2017 provided $30,000,000 for Title X 

uranium and thorium reimbursements 

to be made available to the Title X 

licensees on a prorated basis. 

DATES: The closing date for the 

submission of FY 2017 Title X claims is 

September 15, 2017. The claims will be 

processed for payment together with 

any eligible unpaid approved claim 

balances from prior years, based on the 

availability of funds from congressional 

appropriations. If the total approved 

claim amounts exceed 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 U.S. Department of 

Energy, Office of Legacy Management, 

Attn: Mark Kautsky, Lead for Review of 

Title X Reimbursement of Claims, U.S. 

Department of Energy, Office of Legacy 

Management, 2597 Legacy Way, Grand 

Junction, Colorado 81503. Two copies of 

the claim should be included with each

Theresa Kliczewski, Title X Program 

Lead and Coordinator, at (202) 586– 

3301, of the U.S. Department of Energy,

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 uranium and thorium 

processing sites to remediate byproduct 

material generated resulting from the 

sales to the United States Government. 

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 

(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
