SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: These meetings are being
held pursuant to Sec. 308 of the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
Act of 2014 (WIOA) (Pub. L. 113–128),
which amends Sec. 15 of the WagnerPeyser Act of 1933 (29 U.S.C. 491–2).
The WIAC is an important component
of WIOA. The WIAC is a federal
advisory committee of workforce and
labor market information experts
representing a broad range of national,
State, and local data and information
users and producers. The WIAC was
established in accordance with
provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA), as amended (5
U.S.C. App.) and will act in accordance
with the applicable provisions of FACA
and its implementing regulation at 41
CFR 102–3. The purpose of the WIAC is
to provide recommendations to the
Secretary of Labor (Secretary), working
jointly through the Assistant Secretary
for Employment and Training and the
Commissioner of Labor Statistics, to
address: (1) the evaluation and
improvement of the nationwide
workforce and labor market information
(WLMI) system and statewide systems
that comprise the nationwide system;
and (2) how the Department and the
States will cooperate in the management
of those systems. These systems include
programs to produce employmentrelated statistics and State and local
workforce and labor market information.
The Department of Labor anticipates
the WIAC will accomplish its objectives
by: (1) studying workforce and labor
market information issues; (2) seeking
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:00 Sep 30, 2022
Jkt 259001
and sharing information on innovative
approaches, new technologies, and data
to inform employment, skills training,
and workforce and economic
development decision making and
policy; and (3) advising the Secretary on
how the workforce and labor market
information system can best support
workforce development, planning, and
program development. Additional
information is available at www.dol.gov/
agencies/eta/wioa/wiac/meetings.
Purpose: The WIAC is currently in the
process of identifying and reviewing
issues and aspects of the WLMI system
and statewide systems that comprise the
nationwide system and how the
Department and the States will
cooperate in the management of those
systems. As part of this process, the
Advisory Council meets to gather
information and to engage in
deliberative and planning activities to
facilitate the development and provision
of its recommendations to the Secretary
in a timely manner.
Agenda: The agenda topics for the
October 25, 2022 meeting are: (1) review
minutes from the previous meeting, (2)
review and discuss the sub-committee
work on industrial policy, (3) review
and discuss the sub-committee work on
post-pandemic effects on the labor
market, (4) develop a set of
recommendations regarding the subcommittee discussions, (5) comment
period for the general public, and (6)
other business as needed. The agenda
topics for the October 27, 2022, meeting
are: (1) review minutes from the
previous meeting, (2) review and
discuss the sub-committee work on
worker experiences and skills, (3)
develop a set of recommendations
regarding the sub-committee discussion,
(4) comment period for the general
public, and (5) other business as
needed. A detailed agenda will be
available at www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/
wioa/wiac/meetings shortly before the
meetings commence.
The Advisory Council will open the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
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
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:00 Sep 30, 2022
Jkt 259001
(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), February 17, 2016 (81 FR
8060) and
August 3, 2022 (87 FR 47399), DOE
further revised the August 23, 2004 list
by removing a total of 24 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) and amended those final
regulations on February 8, 2019 (84 FR
3026). One of those regulations, 20 CFR
30.5(y)(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(y)(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 Sec. 2(a)(i) of Executive
Order 13179.
II. Purpose
Since OWCP last published a notice
listing all DOE facilities covered under
EEOICPA in the November 5, 2018
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 Elza Gate work
site, located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee,
meets the definition of a Department of
Energy facility for the purposes of
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
claims filed under EEOICPA because an
entity conducted environmental
remediation at the site under contract to
DOE. In addition, OWCP’s research has
led the Director to modify the
designation of the Reduction Pilot Plant
that has appeared in OWCP’s prior
published lists by extending the covered
period for that work site to include the
additional period January 1, 1964
through November 26, 1978. As a result,
the modified period of coverage for this
work site now spans the time period
from 1951 through May 18, 1979, with
the period November 27, 1978 through
May 18, 1979 for remediation only.
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,
November 5, 2018 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
E:\FR\FM\03OCN1.SGM
03OCN1
59833
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 190 / Monday, October 3, 2022 / Notices
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,
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), February
17, 2016 (81 FR 8060) and August 3,
2022 (87 FR 47399). 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.

(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 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), February 17, 2016
(81 FR 8060) and
August 3, 2022 (87 FR 47399), DOE further revised the August 23,
2004 list by removing a total of 24 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) and amended those final regulations on February 8, 2019 (84 FR
3026). One of those regulations, 20 CFR 30.5(y)(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(y)(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 Sec. 2(a)(i) of Executive Order 13179.
II. Purpose
Since OWCP last published a notice listing all DOE facilities
covered under EEOICPA in the November 5, 2018 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 Elza
Gate work site, located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, meets the definition
of a Department of Energy facility for the purposes of claims filed
under EEOICPA because an entity conducted environmental remediation at
the site under contract to DOE. In addition, OWCP's research has led
the Director to modify the designation of the Reduction Pilot Plant
that has appeared in OWCP's prior published lists by extending the
covered period for that work site to include the additional period
January 1, 1964 through November 26, 1978. As a result, the modified
period of coverage for this work site now spans the time period from
1951 through May 18, 1979, with the period November 27, 1978 through
May 18, 1979 for remediation only.
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, November 5, 2018 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
[[Page 59833]]
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, 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), February 17, 2016 (81 FR 8060) and August
3, 2022 (87 FR 47399). 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.
