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
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
(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
Law 102–486, 106 Stat. 2776 (42 U.S.C.

The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) seeks comments and
information related to a commercial
buildings technology evaluation
process. DOE is seeking to create a
process for evaluating emerging and
underutilized energy efficient
technologies for commercial buildings
based on the voluntary submittal of
product test data. The program would
be centered on a publicly accessible
listing of products that meet minimum
energy efficiency criteria specified for
the applicable technology type.
Evaluation under the criteria would be
based on product test data submitted by
manufacturers, then analyzed by DOE to
generate information related to the
energy savings of the products. For
those products that met the specified
minimum energy efficiency criteria, the
results of such analyses would be made
publicly available. The program would
provide centralized information on the
analysis factors in a manner that would
make results directly comparable
between products within the same
technology type or area.
DATES: Written comments and
information are requested on or before
June 27, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons may
submit comments, identified by docket
number EERE–2011–BT–NOA–0039, by
any of the following methods. Your
response should be limited to 3 pages.
Questions relative to responding to this
RFI may be sent to the same mailbox in
advance of your response, and will be
answered via e-mail.
