would allow time schedules and
objectives to be met sooner and/or at
less cost than was anticipated.
11 CFR 9423.41(d)—Request for
advance or reimbursement. This section
requires that grantee requests for
Treasury check advance payments and
for reimbursement under
nonconstruction grants be submitted on
SF–270.
11 CFR 9423.42—Recordkeeping. This
section requires grantees and
subgrantees to retain all required
records for three years from the starting
date.
11 CFR 9423.42(b)(3)—Transfer of
records. This section provides that the
awarding agency may request transfer of
records to its custody when it
determines that the records possess
long-term retention value.
11 CFR 9423.50—Closeout. This
section requires the grantee to submit all
financial, performance, and other
reports required as a condition of the
grant. This includes the final
performance or progress report (SF–
PPR), the Federal Financial Report (SF–
425) or Outlay Report and Request for
Reimbursement for Construction
Programs (SF 271), the final request for
payment (SF 270), invention disclosure,
and Federally-owned property report.
Needs and Uses: On March 12, 1987,
President Reagan signed a memorandum
directing all affected Executive
departments and agencies to
simultaneously issue a common rule
that adopted governmentwide terms and
conditions for grants to State and local
governments. The departments and
agencies followed the guidelines of
OMB Circular A–102, and adopted the
wording of the Circular verbatim, with
their statutory deviations. The common
rule was issued on March 11, 1988, and
has been updated periodically to reflect
new legislation and Executive Orders.
EAC, which was created by the Help
America Vote Act of 2002, is codifying
the common rule at 11 CFR part 9423,
and this regulation includes the OMBrequired reporting and recordkeeping.
The pre-award information, (SF–424,
Application for Federal Assistance), is
used to qualify and select grant
applications. The post-award
information, (SF–425, Federal Financial
Report; SF–270, Request for Advance or
Reimbursement; and SF–271 Outlay
Report & Request for Reimbursement for
Construction Programs), is used to
monitor grantee performance. The afterthe-grant information, (SF–425, Federal
Financial Report), is used to close out
the grant awards. The information is
necessary to ensure minimum fiscal
control and accountability for Federal
funds and deter fraud, waste, and abuse.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Reimbursement for Costs of Remedial
Action at Active Uranium and Thorium
Processing Sites
Department of Energy.
Notice of the acceptance of Title
X claims during fiscal year (FY) 2009.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: This Notice announces the
Department of Energy (DOE) acceptance
of claims in FY 2009 from eligible active
uranium and thorium processing sites
for reimbursement under Title X of the
Energy Policy Act of 1992. For FY 2009,
Congress has not completed the
appropriation process for DOE,
including funds for the reimbursement
of certain costs of remedial action at
these sites. If no funds are appropriated,
the approved amount of claims
submitted during FY 2008 and unpaid
approved balances for claims submitted
in prior years will be carried forward for
payment in FY 2010, subject to the
availability of funds. If FY 2009 funds
are appropriated, and if the available
funds are less than the total approved
claims, these payments will be prorated
based on the amount of available FY
2009 appropriations, unpaid approved
claim balances (approximately $8.6
million), and claims received in May
2008 (approximately $34 million).
DATES: The closing date for the
submission of claims in FY 2009 is May
1, 2009. These new claims will be
processed for payment by April 30,
2010, together with unpaid approved
claim balances from prior years, based
on the availability of funds from
congressional appropriations.

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 Public Law 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 active uranium and thorium
milling 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 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
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
the Anti-Deficiency Act (31 U.S.C.
1341).

Authority: Section 1001–1004 of Public

There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the below listed
comment date, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Jkt 217001
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
14 copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to
the applicant and to every other party in
the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commenters
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission (except for the mailing of
environmental documents issued by the
Commission) and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
Motions to intervene, protests and
comments may be filed electronically
via the Internet in lieu of paper; see, 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission’s Web
site under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link. The
Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings.
