SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Occupational Safety and
Health Onsite Consultation Agreements
information collection. The OSHA
Onsite Consultation Service Program
offers free and confidential advice to
small and medium-sized businesses in
all States across the country, with
priority given to high-hazard worksites.
The requirements specified in the
Onsite Consultation regulations for
cooperative agreements, 29 CFR part
1908, are necessary to ensure uniform
delivery of onsite consultation services
nationwide. The regulatory procedures
specify the activities carried out by State
Onsite Consultation Programs funded by
the Federal government, as well as the
responsibilities of employers who
receive onsite consultation services.
This information collection has been
classified as a revision, because the
OSHA is making minor edits to the
Safety and Health Program Assessment
Worksheet, Form OSHA–33, that reflect
new terminology and revised
requirements associated with the
revised 2012 OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard, 29 CFR
1910.1200. Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970 sections 7(c)(1) and
21(c) authorize this information
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 656(c)(1) and
670(c).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:38 Nov 02, 2018
Jkt 247001
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1218–0110. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. New
requirements would only take effect
upon OMB approval. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on March 30, 2018 (83
FR 13792).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the address shown in
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30)
days of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1218–0110. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

I. Background
The Energy Employees Occupational
Illness Compensation Program Act of
2000, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7384 et
seq.), was originally enacted on October
30, 2000, and the primary responsibility
E:\FR\FM\05NON1.SGM
05NON1
55402
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 214 / Monday, November 5, 2018 / Notices
for administering EEOICPA was
assigned to the Department of Labor
(DOL) by Executive Order 13179 (65 FR
77487). In section 2(c)(vii) of that
Executive Order, DOE was directed to
publish a list in the Federal Register of
Atomic Weapons Employer (AWE)
facilities, DOE facilities, and facilities
owned and operated by a Beryllium
Vendor (as those terms are defined in
sections 7384l(5), 7384l(12) and
7384l(6) of EEOICPA, respectively).
Pursuant to this direction, DOE
published a list of these three types of
facilities covered under EEOICPA on
January 17, 2001 (66 FR 4003), and
subsequently revised and republished
the entire list on June 11, 2001 (66 FR
31218), December 27, 2002 (67 FR
79068), July 21, 2003 (68 FR 43095) and
August 23, 2004 (69 FR 51825). In
subsequent notices published on
November 30, 2005 (70 FR 71815), June
28, 2007 (72 FR 35448), April 9, 2009
(74 FR 16191), August 3, 2010 (75 FR
45608), May 26, 2011 (76 FR 30695),
February 6, 2012 (77 FR 5781), February
11, 2013 (78 FR 9678), July 16, 2015 (80
FR 42094) and February 17, 2016 (81 FR
8060), DOE further revised the August
23, 2004 list by removing a total of 21
AWE facilities, and formally designating
one additional AWE facility, without
republishing the list in its entirety.
Following the amendments to
EEOICPA that were enacted as subtitle
E of Title XXXI of the Ronald W. Reagan
National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2005, Public Law 108–375,
118 Stat. 1811, 2178 (October 28, 2004),
OWCP promulgated final regulations
governing its expanded responsibilities
under EEOICPA on December 29, 2006
(71 FR 78520). One of those regulations,
20 CFR 30.5(x)(2), indicates that OWCP
has adopted the list of DOE facilities
that was published by DOE on August
23, 2004, and notes that OWCP ‘‘will
periodically update this list as it deems
appropriate in its sole discretion by
publishing a revised list of covered
[DOE] facilities in the Federal Register.’’
In making these updates, § 30.5(x)(1)
specifies that the Director of OWCP is
solely responsible for determining if a
particular work site under consideration
meets the statutory definition of a
Department of Energy facility. This sole
responsibility is derived from the grant
of primary authority to DOL to
administer the EEOICPA claims process
contained in section 2(a)(i) of Executive
Order 13179.
II. Purpose
Since OWCP last published a notice
listing all DOE facilities covered under
EEOICPA in the January 20, 2015
Federal Register, the Director of OWCP
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:38 Nov 02, 2018
Jkt 247001
has made a number of determinations in
connection with claims filed under
EEOICPA. Those determinations are
briefly described in this Supplementary
Information and are memorialized in the
two updated lists of DOE facilities
published by OWCP today.
Specifically, the Director of OWCP
has determined that the Enewetak
RADLAB, located on Enewetak Atoll
and now within the Republic of the
Marshall Islands, meets the definition of
a Department of Energy facility for the
purposes of claims filed under EEOICPA
because a predecessor agency of DOE
entered into a contract with an entity to
provide radiological support during the
remediation of the Pacific Proving
Ground by the Defense Department. In
addition, OWCP’s research has led the
Director to clarify or otherwise modify
the designation of two other work sites
that have appeared in OWCP’s prior
published lists. The first of these
appears in List 1 published below as the
Dayton Project, and the Director has
modified the designation for this
multiple-location work site so it
includes another location in Dayton,
Ohio known as floors 4, 5 and 6 of the
Warehouse located at 601 East Third
Street because OWCP’s research shows
that the DOE contractor for the Dayton
Project also performed work under a
contract with a predecessor agency of
DOE at that additional location. This
expansion does not have any effect on
the other locations associated with the
Dayton Project, or on the covered time
period for the Dayton Project. The
Director has also clarified the
designation of a second work site,
which previously appeared in List 1 as
the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center,
Stanford University in Palo Alto,
California. This work site now appears
as the SLAC National Accelerator
Laboratory in Menlo Park, California in
this publication. This clarification does
not have any effect on the status of the
work site in question, and is only
intended to more precisely identify that
facility and its location. And finally,
OWCP has moved one work site that
appeared in previous publications in
List 2 to List 1 in this publication. The
Middlesex Municipal Landfill in
Middlesex, New Jersey now appears in
the list of work sites that have only been
DOE facilities following DOE’s decision
to remove that work site’s status as an
AWE facility in its July 16, 2015 Federal
Register notice. This move from List 2
to List 1 does not have any effect on the
status of the work site as a Department
of Energy facility for remediation
purposes in 1984 and 1986.
By updating the two lists found
below, OWCP is presenting the public
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
with the most current listing of DOE
facilities in order to assist potential
claimants and their families. OWCP is
continuing its efforts in this area as it
adjudicates claims filed under
EEOICPA, and further revisions of these
lists should be expected. Although DOE
maintains a website (https://
ehss.energy.gov/Search/Facility/
findfacility.aspx) that provides
information on AWE facilities,
Beryllium Vendor facilities and DOE
facilities to the public, the information
on that website regarding DOE facilities
should not be relied upon as it may not
be up to date, nor is it binding on
OWCP’s adjudication of claims filed
under EEOICPA. Instead, OWCP is
solely authorized to give the public
notice of the Director’s determinations
regarding DOE facilities.
III. Introduction to the Lists
The five complete lists previously
published by DOE included all three
types of work sites described in
Executive Order 13179, i.e., AWE
facilities, Beryllium Vendor facilities,
and DOE facilities. On the other hand,
the lists published on June 23, 2009,
November 24, 2010, March 6, 2012,
April 8, 2013, January 20, 2015 and
again today by OWCP only include
work sites that meet the definition of a
Department of Energy facility, because
the authority to designate both AWE
facilities and Beryllium Vendor
facilities has been granted to DOE.
However, since some work sites can
meet the definition of more than just
one type of covered work site during
either the same or differing time
periods, simply presenting one list of
DOE facilities (without also
differentiating among them in some
easily understood fashion) could lead
the reader to wrongly conclude that a
listed work site has always been a DOE
facility when, in fact, it only had that
status during a brief period. To lessen
the potential for this type of
misunderstanding, OWCP has decided
to continue its practice of presenting
two separate lists of DOE facilities.
The first list consists exclusively of
work sites that have only been DOE
facilities for purposes of coverage under
EEOICPA, and the second list consists
of work sites that have also been at least
one other type of covered work site in
addition to a DOE facility. To see what
other types of covered work sites the
DOE facilities appearing in the second
list are or have been, readers can refer
to the Federal Register notices
published by DOE on August 23, 2004
(69 FR 51825), November 30, 2005 (70
FR 71815), June 28, 2007 (72 FR 35448),
April 9, 2009 (74 FR 16191), August 3,

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 214 / Monday, November 5, 2018 / Notices
2010 (75 FR 45608), May 26, 2011 (76
FR 30695), February 6, 2012 (77 FR
5781), February 11, 2013 (78 FR 9678),
July 16, 2015 (80 FR 42094) and
February 17, 2016 (81 FR 8060). Since
covered time periods for a particular
DOE facility are statutorily limited to
periods during which ‘‘operations’’ are
or were performed by or on behalf of
DOE (or its predecessor agencies) at that
DOE facility, and when DOE (or its
predecessor agencies) either had a
proprietary interest in the facility or had
entered into a particular type of contract
with an entity regarding the facility, the
lists below include date ranges during
which covered employment at each
work site could have been performed.
These date ranges, however, often do
not reflect the exact day and month that
a work site either acquired or lost its
status as a DOE facility, and are not
considered binding on OWCP in its
adjudication of individual claims under
EEOICPA. Rather, they are presented in
this notice for the sole purpose of
informing the public of the current
results of OWCP’s research into the
operational histories of these work sites,
some of which extend back to the
establishment of the Manhattan
Engineer District of the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers on August 13, 1942.
OWCP’s efforts in this area are
continuing, and it expects that the date
ranges included in this notice will
change with the publication of future
notices.
DOE facilities appearing on the lists
that have undergone environmental
remediation at the direction of or
directly by DOE are identified by the
following symbol—†—after the date
range during which such environmental
remediation occurred. During those
periods, only the work of employees of
DOE contractors who actually
performed the remediation is ‘‘covered
work’’ under EEOICPA.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Office of Workers' Compensation Programs
Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of
2000, as Amended
AGENCY: Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, Labor Department.
ACTION: Notice of revision of listing of covered Department of Energy
facilities.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) is
publishing a list of Department of Energy (DOE) facilities covered
under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program
Act of 2000, as amended (EEOICPA).
DATES: This notice revises and republishes the listing of DOE
facilities that was last published by OWCP on January 20, 2015 (80 FR
2735) to include additional determinations made on this subject through
November 5, 2018.
ADDRESSES: OWCP welcomes comments regarding this list. Individuals who
wish to suggest changes to this list may provide information to OWCP at
the following address: U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Workers'
Compensation Programs, Division of Energy Employees Occupational
Illness Compensation, Room C-3321, 200 Constitution Avenue NW,
Washington, DC 20210. You may also suggest changes to this list by
email at [email protected]. You should include ``DOE facilities
list'' in the subject line of any email containing comments on this
list.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rachel P. Leiton, Director, Division
of Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation, Office of
Workers' Compensation Programs, U.S. Department of Labor, Room C-3321,
200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20210. Telephone: 202-693-
0081 (this is not a toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act
of 2000, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7384 et seq.), was originally enacted on
October 30, 2000, and the primary responsibility
[[Page 55402]]
for administering EEOICPA was assigned to the Department of Labor (DOL)
by Executive Order 13179 (65 FR 77487). In section 2(c)(vii) of that
Executive Order, DOE was directed to publish a list in the Federal
Register of Atomic Weapons Employer (AWE) facilities, DOE facilities,
and facilities owned and operated by a Beryllium Vendor (as those terms
are defined in sections 7384l(5), 7384l(12) and 7384l(6) of EEOICPA,
respectively). Pursuant to this direction, DOE published a list of
these three types of facilities covered under EEOICPA on January 17,
2001 (66 FR 4003), and subsequently revised and republished the entire
list on June 11, 2001 (66 FR 31218), December 27, 2002 (67 FR 79068),
July 21, 2003 (68 FR 43095) and August 23, 2004 (69 FR 51825). In
subsequent notices published on November 30, 2005 (70 FR 71815), June
28, 2007 (72 FR 35448), April 9, 2009 (74 FR 16191), August 3, 2010 (75
FR 45608), May 26, 2011 (76 FR 30695), February 6, 2012 (77 FR 5781),
February 11, 2013 (78 FR 9678), July 16, 2015 (80 FR 42094) and
February 17, 2016 (81 FR 8060), DOE further revised the August 23, 2004
list by removing a total of 21 AWE facilities, and formally designating
one additional AWE facility, without republishing the list in its
entirety.
Following the amendments to EEOICPA that were enacted as subtitle E
of Title XXXI of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2005, Public Law 108-375, 118 Stat. 1811, 2178
(October 28, 2004), OWCP promulgated final regulations governing its
expanded responsibilities under EEOICPA on December 29, 2006 (71 FR
78520). One of those regulations, 20 CFR 30.5(x)(2), indicates that
OWCP has adopted the list of DOE facilities that was published by DOE
on August 23, 2004, and notes that OWCP ``will periodically update this
list as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion by publishing a
revised list of covered [DOE] facilities in the Federal Register.'' In
making these updates, Sec. 30.5(x)(1) specifies that the Director of
OWCP is solely responsible for determining if a particular work site
under consideration meets the statutory definition of a Department of
Energy facility. This sole responsibility is derived from the grant of
primary authority to DOL to administer the EEOICPA claims process
contained in section 2(a)(i) of Executive Order 13179.
II. Purpose
Since OWCP last published a notice listing all DOE facilities
covered under EEOICPA in the January 20, 2015 Federal Register, the
Director of OWCP has made a number of determinations in connection with
claims filed under EEOICPA. Those determinations are briefly described
in this Supplementary Information and are memorialized in the two
updated lists of DOE facilities published by OWCP today.
Specifically, the Director of OWCP has determined that the Enewetak
RADLAB, located on Enewetak Atoll and now within the Republic of the
Marshall Islands, meets the definition of a Department of Energy
facility for the purposes of claims filed under EEOICPA because a
predecessor agency of DOE entered into a contract with an entity to
provide radiological support during the remediation of the Pacific
Proving Ground by the Defense Department. In addition, OWCP's research
has led the Director to clarify or otherwise modify the designation of
two other work sites that have appeared in OWCP's prior published
lists. The first of these appears in List 1 published below as the
Dayton Project, and the Director has modified the designation for this
multiple-location work site so it includes another location in Dayton,
Ohio known as floors 4, 5 and 6 of the Warehouse located at 601 East
Third Street because OWCP's research shows that the DOE contractor for
the Dayton Project also performed work under a contract with a
predecessor agency of DOE at that additional location. This expansion
does not have any effect on the other locations associated with the
Dayton Project, or on the covered time period for the Dayton Project.
The Director has also clarified the designation of a second work site,
which previously appeared in List 1 as the Stanford Linear Accelerator
Center, Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. This work site
now appears as the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park,
California in this publication. This clarification does not have any
effect on the status of the work site in question, and is only intended
to more precisely identify that facility and its location. And finally,
OWCP has moved one work site that appeared in previous publications in
List 2 to List 1 in this publication. The Middlesex Municipal Landfill
in Middlesex, New Jersey now appears in the list of work sites that
have only been DOE facilities following DOE's decision to remove that
work site's status as an AWE facility in its July 16, 2015 Federal
Register notice. This move from List 2 to List 1 does not have any
effect on the status of the work site as a Department of Energy
facility for remediation purposes in 1984 and 1986.
By updating the two lists found below, OWCP is presenting the
public with the most current listing of DOE facilities in order to
assist potential claimants and their families. OWCP is continuing its
efforts in this area as it adjudicates claims filed under EEOICPA, and
further revisions of these lists should be expected. Although DOE
maintains a website (https://ehss.energy.gov/Search/Facility/findfacility.aspx) that provides information on AWE facilities,
Beryllium Vendor facilities and DOE facilities to the public, the
information on that website regarding DOE facilities should not be
relied upon as it may not be up to date, nor is it binding on OWCP's
adjudication of claims filed under EEOICPA. Instead, OWCP is solely
authorized to give the public notice of the Director's determinations
regarding DOE facilities.
III. Introduction to the Lists
The five complete lists previously published by DOE included all
three types of work sites described in Executive Order 13179, i.e., AWE
facilities, Beryllium Vendor facilities, and DOE facilities. On the
other hand, the lists published on June 23, 2009, November 24, 2010,
March 6, 2012, April 8, 2013, January 20, 2015 and again today by OWCP
only include work sites that meet the definition of a Department of
Energy facility, because the authority to designate both AWE facilities
and Beryllium Vendor facilities has been granted to DOE. However, since
some work sites can meet the definition of more than just one type of
covered work site during either the same or differing time periods,
simply presenting one list of DOE facilities (without also
differentiating among them in some easily understood fashion) could
lead the reader to wrongly conclude that a listed work site has always
been a DOE facility when, in fact, it only had that status during a
brief period. To lessen the potential for this type of
misunderstanding, OWCP has decided to continue its practice of
presenting two separate lists of DOE facilities.
The first list consists exclusively of work sites that have only
been DOE facilities for purposes of coverage under EEOICPA, and the
second list consists of work sites that have also been at least one
other type of covered work site in addition to a DOE facility. To see
what other types of covered work sites the DOE facilities appearing in
the second list are or have been, readers can refer to the Federal
Register notices published by DOE on August 23, 2004 (69 FR 51825),
November 30, 2005 (70 FR 71815), June 28, 2007 (72 FR 35448), April 9,
2009 (74 FR 16191), August 3,
[[Page 55403]]
2010 (75 FR 45608), May 26, 2011 (76 FR 30695), February 6, 2012 (77 FR
5781), February 11, 2013 (78 FR 9678), July 16, 2015 (80 FR 42094) and
February 17, 2016 (81 FR 8060). Since covered time periods for a
particular DOE facility are statutorily limited to periods during which
``operations'' are or were performed by or on behalf of DOE (or its
predecessor agencies) at that DOE facility, and when DOE (or its
predecessor agencies) either had a proprietary interest in the facility
or had entered into a particular type of contract with an entity
regarding the facility, the lists below include date ranges during
which covered employment at each work site could have been performed.
These date ranges, however, often do not reflect the exact day and
month that a work site either acquired or lost its status as a DOE
facility, and are not considered binding on OWCP in its adjudication of
individual claims under EEOICPA. Rather, they are presented in this
notice for the sole purpose of informing the public of the current
results of OWCP's research into the operational histories of these work
sites, some of which extend back to the establishment of the Manhattan
Engineer District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on August 13,
1942. OWCP's efforts in this area are continuing, and it expects that
the date ranges included in this notice will change with the
publication of future notices.
DOE facilities appearing on the lists that have undergone
environmental remediation at the direction of or directly by DOE are
identified by the following symbol--[dagger]--after the date range
during which such environmental remediation occurred. During those
periods, only the work of employees of DOE contractors who actually
performed the remediation is ``covered work'' under EEOICPA.
