Department of Energy April 4, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In light of the passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 (Pub. L. 113-76), funds were not made available in FY 2014 to the Department of Energy (DOE) for reimbursement for cleanup work performed by licensees at eligible uranium and thorium processing sites in accordance with Title X of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-486). However, licensees may submit their claims for cleanup work with the understanding that DOE may be able to perform audits/financial review on the claims but cannot provide licensees with reimbursements. If licensees do not submit claims in FY 2014, they can do so the following year. In order to keep an accurate account of claims, DOE will continue to provide an annual status report or report letter on reimbursements to licensees of eligible uranium and thorium processing sites. If licensees submit claims in FY 2014, those licensees are not required to resubmit those same claims in later years.

This notice contains corrections to the order (RM01-8-000, et al) which was published in the Federal Register of Friday, March 14, 2014 (79 FR 14369). This order updated the EQR Data Dictionary to indicate how market participants should enter information in certain fields of the new EQR system so that the new system's validation process will more readily accept filings. These updates to the EQR Data Dictionary enable the implementation of the Commission's revised EQR filing process. This order also updated the EQR Data Dictionary's list of Balancing Authority names and abbreviations to reflect changes in the official source of such data.
