2000; Revision to List of Covered
Facilities
Department of Energy.
Notice of revision of listing of
covered facilities.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
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,
