Section 3621(4) of the Act (codified at 42 U.S.C. 7384l(4)) defines an 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 [AWE] for the purposes of the compensation program.’’ Section 3621(5) defines an AWE facility as ‘‘a facility, owned by an [AWE], 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 one facility was previously mistakenly designated as an AWE facility because the designated facility was owned by the U.S. Government, and the statutory definitions of AWE and AWE facility exclude facilities owned by the United States. A second entity identified as an AWE facility is being removed from the list because the work performed by that PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 entity was not related to production of an atomic weapon and was not performed for, or on behalf of, DOE or its predecessor Agencies. This notice formally makes the changes to the list as indicated below: • Painsville Site (Diamond Magnesium Company) of Ohio is no longer designated as an AWE facility because the work performed at that site was not related to atomic weapons production and was not conducted by, or on behalf of, DOE or its predecessor Agencies. • St. Louis Airport Storage Site is no longer designated as an AWE facility because the facility was owned by the U.S. Government. This change has no effect on the determination of the Department of Labor that the work site is a DOE facility. Issued in Washington, DC, on July 26, 2010. Glenn S.
