AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: This Notice announces the
Department of Energy’s (DOE)
acceptance of claims in FY 2017 from
eligible uranium and thorium
processing site licensees for
reimbursement under Title X of the
Energy Policy Act of 1992. The
Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2017 provided $30,000,000 for Title X
uranium and thorium reimbursements
to be made available to the Title X
licensees on a prorated basis.
DATES: The closing date for the
submission of FY 2017 Title X claims is
September 15, 2017. The claims will be

any eligible unpaid approved claim
balances from prior years, based on the
availability of funds from congressional
appropriations. If the total approved
claim amounts exceed the available
funding, the approved claim amounts
will be reimbursed on a prorated basis.
All reimbursements are subject to the
availability of funds from congressional
appropriations.
ADDRESSES: Claims should be forwarded
by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, to U.S. Department of
Energy, Office of Legacy Management,
Attn: Mark Kautsky, Lead for Review of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE
published a final rule under 10 CFR part
765 in the Federal Register on May 23,
1994, (59 FR 26714) to carry out the
requirements of Title X of the Energy
Policy Act of 1992 (sections 1001–1004
of Pub. L. 102–486, 42 U.S.C. 2296a et
seq.) and to establish the procedures for
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 uranium and thorium
processing sites to remediate byproduct
material generated resulting from the
sales to the United States Government.
To be reimbursable, costs of remedial
action must be for work that 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
