Federal agencies and the public an early

Title: Common Core of Data National

Abstract: As a result of American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(ARRA), NCES has been asked to add
six data items to the Common Core of
Data National Public Education
Financial Survey (NPEFS) in order to
allow an adjustment in the state per
pupil expenditure (SPPE) used in
allocating Title I, Impact Aid, and other
ED funds. The Department must be able
to exclude the ARRA expenditures from
the SPPE so that they will not affect the
allocation process. States are already
required to track the ARRA revenues
separately. The six additional data items
will provide the necessary detail to
exclude ARRA expenditures from SPPE
and allow states to report total ARRA
expenditures and their functional
allocations, such as for classroom
instruction or school construction. The
estimated additional data burden time is
8 hours per respondent, for a total of 79
burden hours per state data technician
and 19 burden hours per state data
manager (total 5,264 burden hours).
NPEFS annually gathers universe
information from states about revenues
and expenditures for public education,
specifically revenues by source and
expenditures by function and object,
such as school administration costs,
student transportation, food services,
salaries, benefits, and supply costs.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Adjusted Indemnification Amount
Department of Energy.
Notice of adjusted
indemnification amount.
AGENCY:
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy
(DOE) is announcing the adjusted
amount of indemnification provided
under subsection 170d. of the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954 (AEA), 42 U.S.C.
2210d., commonly known as the PriceAnderson Act, consistent with section
607 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005,
Public Law 109–58 (EPAct 2005).
Section 607 (‘‘Inflation Adjustment’’) of
EPAct 2005 amended subsection 170t.
of the AEA by requiring the adjustment
of the indemnification amount not less
than once during each 5-year period
following July 1, 2003, in accordance
with the aggregate percentage change in
the Consumer Price Index (CPI) since
that date. This notice announces
$11.961 billion as the inflation-adjusted
amount based on the aggregate
percentage change in the CPI during the
initial 5-year period.
DATES: This action is effective October
14, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
S. Boulden III, Acting Director (HS–40),
Office of Enforcement, Office of Health,
Safety and Security, U.S. Department of
Energy, 19901 Germantown Road,
Germantown, Maryland 20874, (301)
903–2178; or Sophia Angelini, Attorney
Advisor (GC–52), Office of the General
Counsel, U.S. Department of Energy,
1000 Independence Ave., SW.,
Washington, DC 20585, (202) 586–6975.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Price-Anderson Act, section 170
of the AEA (42 U.S.C. 2210), establishes
a system of financial protection for
persons who may be liable for and
persons who may be injured by a
‘‘nuclear incident,’’ as defined at section
11q. of the AEA (42 U.S.C. 2014q.). The
Price-Anderson Act is administered by
DOE with respect to the nuclear
activities of DOE contractors acting on
its behalf. Subsection 170d. provides
that the Secretary of Energy shall enter
into agreements of indemnification with
any person who may conduct activities
under a contract with DOE that involve
the risk of public liability and that are
not subject to the financial protection
requirements of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission. DOE’s Price-Anderson Act
indemnification contract provisions are
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:35 Oct 13, 2009
Jkt 220001
codified in the Department of Energy
Acquisition Regulation (DEAR), which
sets forth a standard nuclear
indemnification clause, the Nuclear
Hazard Indemnity Agreement at 48 CFR
952.250–70, that is incorporated into all
DOE contracts and subcontracts
involving source, special nuclear, or byproduct material.
The Price-Anderson Amendments Act
of 2005 (PAAA 2005), enacted as part of
EPAct 2005, sections 601 through 610,
altered the indemnity provisions in
several ways. Specifically, the PAAA
2005 altered the amount of the
indemnification by: (1) Specifying $10
billion as the amount of the
indemnification for nuclear incidents
within the United States resulting from
contractual activities on behalf of DOE
(section 604); (2) directing the
adjustment of this indemnification
amount not less than once during each
five-year period in accordance with the
aggregate percentage change in the CPI
(section 607); and (3) increasing the
indemnification amount for nuclear
incidents outside the United States from
$100 million to $500 million (section
605).
With regard to the inflation
adjustment for indemnification, the
AEA subsection 170t. was amended by
adding a new provision requiring the
adjustment of ‘‘the amount of
indemnification provided under an
agreement of indemnification under
subsection d. not less than once during
each 5-year period following July 1,
2003, in accordance with the aggregate
percentage change in the Consumer
Price Index since—(A) that date, in the
case of the first adjustment under this
paragraph; or (B) the previous
adjustment under this paragraph.’’
Under the AEA subsection 170t.(3), the
term ‘‘Consumer Price Index’’ is defined
to mean the CPI for all urban consumers
published by the Secretary of Labor. The
CPI in July 2003 was 183.9. In July 2008,
the CPI was 219.964. This represents an
increase of approximately 19.61%.
Application of this increase to the initial
$10 billion DOE indemnification
amount results in an inflation-adjusted
indemnification amount of $11.961
billion.
The inflation adjustment under AEA
subsection 170t. applies only to a
nuclear incident within the United
States. Accordingly, the indemnification
amount for a nuclear incident outside
the United States continues to be $500
million.
The next inflation adjustment will be
based on the incremental change in the
CPI between July 1, 2008 and the date
of the adjustment, which will be no later
than July 1, 2013.

This notice of indemnification
inflation adjustment is a ‘‘rule’’ as
defined in the Administrative Procedure
Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 551(4)). However,
the APA (5 USC 553(b)(B)) does not
require an agency to use the public
notice and comment process ‘‘when the
agency for good cause finds (and
incorporates the finding and a brief
statement of reasons therefore in the
rules issued) that notice and public
procedure thereon are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.’’ In this instance, DOE has
concluded that solicitation of public
comment is unnecessary. Congress has
required DOE to adjust the amount of
indemnification provided under an
agreement of indemnification under
section 170d. to reflect inflation in the
initial and each subsequent 5-year
period following July 1, 2003, and
provided no discretion regarding the
substance of the adjustment process.
DOE is required only to perform a
ministerial computation to determine
the relevant inflation adjustment. On
the same basis, DOE finds good cause,
pursuant to 5 USC 553(d)(3) to waive
the requirement for a 30-day delay in
the effective date for this rule. As such,
this rule is effective October 14, 2009.
DOE has determined that this notice
of indemnification inflation adjustment
is the type of action that does not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant impact on the human
environment as set forth in DOE’s
regulations implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). Specifically, the
rule is covered under the categorical
exclusion in paragraph A6 of Appendix
A to subpart D, 10 CFR part 1021, which
applies to rulemakings that are strictly
procedural. Accordingly, neither an
environmental assessment nor an
environmental impact statement is
required.
Dated: Issued in Washington, DC, on
September 22, 2009.
Steven Chu,
Secretary of Energy.
