Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000; Revision to List of Covered Facilities
The Department of Energy (``Department'' or ``DOE'') periodically publishes or revises a list of facilities covered under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000, as amended (``EEOICPA'' or ``Act''). This notice amends the previous lists by (1) Removing two facilities designated as atomic weapons employer (AWE) facilities that should not have been so designated; (2) correcting the covered periods for three listed AWE facilities; and (3) identifying an additional work site for each of two previously listed facilities. In addition, for one of the listed facilities for which a second work site is being identified, there is a related change in the covered period. Previous lists or revisions were published on April 9, 2009, June 28, 2007, November 30, 2005, August 23, 2004, July 21, 2003, December 27, 2002, June 11, 2001, and January 17, 2001. DOE intends to provide any future updates to its facility list only on its Web site.
Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation by Transmission Owning and Operating Public Utilities
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is proposing to amend the transmission planning and cost allocation requirements established in Order No. 890 to ensure that Commission-jurisdictional services are provided on a basis that is just, reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential. With respect to transmission planning, the proposed rule would provide that local and regional transmission planning processes account for transmission needs driven by public policy requirements established by State or Federal laws or regulations; improve coordination between neighboring transmission planning regions with respect to interregional facilities; and remove from Commission-approved tariffs or agreements a right of first refusal created by those documents that provides an incumbent transmission provider with an undue advantage over a nonincumbent transmission developer. Neither incumbent nor nonincumbent transmission facility developers should, as a result of a Commission-approved tariff or agreement, receive different treatment in a regional transmission planning process. Further, both should share similar benefits and obligations commensurate with that participation, including the right, consistent with State or local laws or regulations, to construct and own a facility that it sponsors in a regional transmission planning process and that is selected for inclusion in the regional transmission plan. With respect to cost allocation, the proposed rule would establish a closer link between transmission planning processes and cost allocation and would require cost allocation methods for intraregional and interregional transmission facilities to satisfy newly established cost allocation principles.
