DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Energy Employees Occupational

Illness Compensation Program Act of

2000; Revision to List of Covered

Facilities

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of revision of listing of

covered facilities.

SUMMARY: Periodically, the Department

of Energy (‘‘Department’’ or ‘‘DOE’’)

publishes a list of facilities covered

under the Energy Employees

Occupational Illness Compensation

Program Act of 2000 (‘‘Act’’), Title 36 of

Public Law 106–398 (66 FR 4003; 66 FR

31218). This notice revises the previous

lists because it has been found that

some designated atomic weapons

employers should not have been so

designated. Previous lists were

published on August 23, 2004, July 21,

2003, December 27, 2002, June 11, 2001

and January 17, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Michael A. Montopoli, MD, MPH,

Acting Director, Office of Health

Services (EH–54) 202–586–6178.

ADDRESSES: The Department welcomes

comments on this list. Comments

should be addressed to: Michael A.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Purpose

The Energy Employees Occupational

Illness Compensation Program Act of

2000 (‘‘Act’’), Title 36 of Public Law

106–398, establishes a program to

provide compensation to certain

employees who developed illnesses as a

result of their employment with the

Department of Energy, its predecessor

agencies and certain of its contractors

and subcontractors. Section 3621

defines an atomic weapons employer

(AWE) as an entity, other than the

United States, that (A) processed or

produced, for use by the United States,

material that emitted radiation and was

used in the production of an atomic

weapon, excluding uranium mining and

milling; and (B) is designated by the

Secretary of Energy as an atomic

weapons employer for purposes of the

compensation program. Section 3621

goes on to define an atomic weapons

employer facility as a facility, owned by

an atomic weapons employer, that is or

was used to process or produce, for use

by the United States, material that

emitted radiation and was used in the

production of an atomic weapon,

excluding uranium mining or milling.

It has recently come to the attention

of the Department that a number of

entities previously designated as AWE’s

failed the basic definitional test for an

AWE because the designated entities

were agencies of the United States

Government. Since the definition of an

AWE specifically excludes the United

States, these previously-made

designations are invalid. To make it

clear that these entities are not covered

under the Act, this notice formally

removes the following entities from the

list.

• Frankford Arsenal, previously

designated as an AWE in Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania

• National Bureau of Standards, Van

Ness Street, previously designated as an

AWE in the District of Columbia

• Seneca Army Depot, previously

designated as an AWE in Romulus, New

York

• Picatinny Arsenal, previously

designated as an AWE in Dover, New

Jersey

Issued in Washington, DC, November 23,

2005.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health, Office
