-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the Department of Energy's (DOE) 
acceptance of claims in FY 2015 from eligible active uranium and 
thorium processing site licensees for

[[Page 18611]]

reimbursement under Title X of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 
102-486, as amended). The Consolidated and Further Continuing 
Appropriations Act, FY 2015 (Pub. L. 113-235) provided $10 million for 
Title X reimbursements and will be made available to the Title X 
licensees on a prorated basis. The FY 2016 Department of Energy Office 
of Environmental Management's Congressional Budget Request requests 
$32.96 million for the Title X Program.

DATES: The closing date for the submission of FY 2015 Title X claims is 
July 20, 2015. The claims will be 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 should be forwarded by certified or registered mail, 
return receipt requested, to U.S. Department of Energy, Office of 
Legacy Management, Attn: Russel Edge, Title X Program Manager for 
Review of Reimbursement of Claims, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of 
Legacy Management, 11025 Dover Street, Suite 1000, Westminster, CO 
80021. Two copies of the claim should be included with each submission.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Theresa Kliczewski, Title X Program 
Coordinator, at (202) 586-3301, of the U.S. Department of Energy, 
Office of Environmental Management, Office of Disposition Planning & 
Policy.

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 uranium and thorium processing 
sites to remediate byproduct material generated resulting from the 
sales to the United States Government. To be reimbursable, costs of 
remedial action must be for work which 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 determined by DOE in accordance with 10 CFR part 765. 
Funds for reimbursement will be provided from the Uranium Enrichment 
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 the Anti-Deficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 1341).

    Authority:  Section 1001-1004 of Public Law 102-486, 106 Stat. 
2776 (42 U.S.C. 2296a et seq.).

    Issued in Washington, DC, on April 1, 2015.

Management.
