SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

Purpose
EEOICPA establishes a program to
provide compensation to certain
employees who develop illnesses as a
result of their employment with DOE
and its predecessor Agencies, as well as
employees of certain of its contractors,
subcontractors, beryllium vendors and
AWEs. Section 7384l(4) of EEOICPA
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
7384l(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 location at
which the Dow Chemical Company in
California performed activities of an
AWE for purposes of EEOICPA was in
Pittsburg, California, not Walnut Creek,
California, as previously indicated in
the Federal Register.
In addition, the Ashland Oil site in
Tonawanda, New York; the Middlesex
Municipal Landfill in Middlesex, New
Jersey; Seaway Industrial Park in
Tonawanda, New York; the Shpack
Landfill in Norton, Massachusetts; and
the Woburn Landfill in Woburn,
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Massachusetts, were designated as AWE
facilities in the Department’s previous
lists even though they did not meet the
statutory definition of AWE facilities.
Records related to these five locations
indicate that these facilities were not
owned by an AWE and do not meet the
definition of AWE facilities because, as
disposal or landfill sites, they did not
‘‘process’’ or ‘‘produce,’’ for use by the
United States, material that emitted
radiation and was used in the
production of an atomic weapon.
Therefore, the designation of these five
locations as AWE facilities was
erroneous.
This Notice formally makes the
changes to the listing of covered
facilities as indicated below:
• The site location for Dow Chemical
Company is changed from Walnut
Creek, California, to Pittsburg,
California.
• The Ashland Oil site in
Tonawanda, New York, in no longer
designated as an AWE facility.
• The Middlesex Municipal Landfill
in Middlesex, New Jersey, is no longer
designated as an AWE facility. This
action has no effect on the separate
status of this worksite as a DOE facility
in 1984 and 1986 when environmental
remediation services were conducted by
Bechtel National Inc., pursuant to a
contract with DOE.
• Seaway Industrial Park in
Tonawanda, New York, is no longer
designated as an AWE facility.
• The Shpack Landfill in Norton,
Massachusetts, is no longer designated
as an AWE facility.
• The Woburn Landfill in Woburn,
Massachusetts, is no longer designated
as an AWE facility.
