Adjusted Indemnification Amount
The Department of Energy (DOE) is announcing the adjusted amount of indemnification provided under subsection 170d. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (AEA), 42 U.S.C. 2210d., commonly known as the Price-Anderson Act, consistent with section 607 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 109-58 (EPAct 2005). Section 607 (``Inflation Adjustment'') of EPAct 2005 amended subsection 170t. of the AEA by requiring the adjustment of the indemnification amount not less than once during each 5-year period following July 1, 2003, in accordance with the aggregate percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) since that date. This notice announces $11.961 billion as the inflation-adjusted amount based on the aggregate percentage change in the CPI during the initial 5-year period.
Guidance on Ex Parte Communications
The Department of Energy sets forth guidance on ex parte communications during informal rulemaking proceedings. The guidance is intended to encourage the public to provide DOE with all information necessary to develop rules that advance the public interest, while ensuring that rulemaking proceedings are not subject to improper influence from off-the-record communications. As President Obama stated in a January 21, 2009 memorandum, ``Executive departments and agencies should offer Americans increased opportunities to participate in policymaking and to provide their Government with the benefits of their collective expertise and information.'' (74 FR 4685) DOE intends this guidance to provide both increased public participation in the rulemaking process and additional transparency during that process.
