DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Reimbursement for Costs of Remedial
Action at Active Uranium and Thorium
Processing Sites
Office of Environmental
Management, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of the acceptance of Title
X claims for reimbursement in fiscal
year (FY) 2006 and the acceptance of
plans for subsequent remedial action.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This Notice announces the
Department of Energy (DOE) acceptance
of claims in FY 2006 from eligible active
uranium and thorium processing sites
for reimbursement under Title X of the
Energy Policy Act of 1992. For FY 2006,
Congress has appropriated
approximately $20 million for
reimbursement of certain costs of
remedial action at these sites. The
approved amount of claims submitted
during FY 2005 and unpaid approved
balances for claims submitted in FY
2004 will be paid by April 28, 2006,
subject to the availability of funds. If the
available funds are less than the total
approved claims, these payments will
be prorated, if necessary, based on the
amount of available FY 2006
appropriations, unpaid approved claim
balances (approximately $0.45 million),
and claims received in May 2005
(approximately $22 million).
This also provides notice of the
continuing DOE acceptance of plans for
subsequent decontamination,
decommissioning, reclamation, and
other remedial action (Plans for
Subsequent Remedial Action). If Title X
licensees expect to incur remedial
action costs for remedial action after
December 31, 2007, licensees must
submit a Plan for Subsequent Remedial
Action during calendar year (CY) 2005
or 2006, and DOE must approve a Plan
submitted by a licensee by the end of
CY 2007, if the costs incurred after CY
2007 are to be eligible for
reimbursement.
The closing date for the
submission of claims in FY 2006 is May
1, 2006. These new claims will be
processed for payment by April 27,
2007, together with unpaid approved
claim balances from prior years, based
on the availability of funds from
congressional appropriations. Plans for
Subsequent Remedial Action must be
submitted no later than December 31,
2006.
DATES:
Claims and Plans for
Subsequent Remedial Action should be
forwarded by certified or registered
mail, return receipt requested, to the
U.S. Department of Energy, 19901
