الملخص

On January 17, 2001, and again on June 11, 2001, the Department of Energy ("Department" or "DOE") published a list of facilities covered under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Act of 2000 ("Act"), title 36 of Public Law 106-398. (66 FR 4003; 66 FR 31218). The Act establishes a program to provide compensation to individuals who developed illnesses as a result of their employment in nuclear weapons production-related activities and at certain federally-owned facilities in which radioactive materials were used. This notice revises the previous lists and provides additional information about the covered facilities, atomic weapons employers, and beryllium vendors. The original notice provides detailed background information about this matter.
