ACTION:
SUMMARY: This Notice announces the
Department of Energy (DOE) acceptance
of claims in FY 2008 from eligible active
uranium and thorium processing sites
for reimbursement under Title X of the
Energy Policy Act of 1992. For FY 2008,
Congress has appropriated
approximately $19.8 million for
reimbursement of certain costs of
remedial action at these sites. The
approved amount of claims submitted
during FY 2007 and unpaid approved
balances for claims submitted in prior
years will be paid by April 30, 2008,
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 2008
appropriations, unpaid approved claim
balances (approximately $5.8 million),
and claims received in May 2007
(approximately $26 million).
DATES: The closing date for the
submission of claims in FY 2008 is May
1, 2008. These new claims will be
processed for payment by April 30,
2009, together with unpaid approved
claim balances from prior years, based
on the availability of funds from
congressional appropriations.
ADDRESSES: Claims should be forwarded
by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, to Mr. David Alan
Hicks, Title X Program Manager, U.S.
Department of Energy/EMCBC, @

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

certain costs of decontamination,
decommissioning, reclamation, and
other remedial action incurred by
licensees at active uranium and thorium
processing sites to remediate byproduct
material generated as an incident of
sales to the United States Government.
To be reimbursable, costs of remedial
action must be for work which is
necessary to comply with applicable
requirements of the Uranium Mill
Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978

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
Decontamination and Decommissioning
Fund established at the Department of
Treasury pursuant to section 1801 of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C.
2297g). Payment or obligation of funds
shall be subject to the requirements of
