AGENCY:
This Notice announces the
Department of Energy’s (DOE)
acceptance of claims in FY 2021 from
eligible uranium and thorium
processing site licensees for
reimbursement under Title X of the
Energy Policy Act of 1992. The FY 2022
DOE Office of Environmental
Management’s Congressional Budget
Request included $33.5 million for the

processed for payment together with
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 must be submitted
by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, to Jalena Dayvault,
U.S. Department of Energy, Office 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 active uranium and thorium
processing sites. The eligible licensees
incurred these costs to remediate
byproduct material, generated as an
incident of sales to the United States
Government of uranium or thorium that
was extracted or concentrated from ores
processed primarily for their source
material contents. 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

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 120 / Friday, June 25, 2021 / Notices

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
