SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Purpose

    EEOICPA establishes a program to provide compensation to certain 
employees who develop illnesses as a result of their employment with 
AWEs, DOE and its predecessor Agencies, certain of its contractors and 
subcontractors, and listed beryllium vendors. 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 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 the 
Mathieson Chemical Company (also known as Pasadena Chemical 
Corporation, Olin Mathieson Chemical Company, and Mobil Mining and 
Minerals Company) facility in Pasadena, Texas, should not have been 
designated as an AWE facility because no material that emitted 
radiation, which was processed or produced by the Mathieson Chemical 
Company, was used in the production on an atomic weapon.
    This notice formally makes the change to the listing of covered 
facilities by removing the Mathieson Chemical Company facility in 
Pasadena, Texas, as an AWE facility under EEOICPA.

    Issued in Washington, DC on May 17, 2011.
Glenn S. Podonsky,
Chief Health, Safety and Security Officer, Office of Health, Safety and 
Security.
