FAQ for August
Each month we will be featuring a FAQ that captures comments and concerns that we sometimes receive from claimants. Additional FAQs on a variety of topics similar to the one listed below can be found on our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page.
- What is the Department of Energy's (DOE's) responsibility under Subtitle B of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (The Act)?
DOE works with DOE contractors, subcontractors, and designated beryllium vendors to provide worker and facility records and data requested by
the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Labor. In addition, DOE maintains a list of facilities covered under The
Act. This list is published in the Federal Register and is periodically updated.
In addition to periodic publication of the list in the Federal Register, DOE also maintains the searchable covered facility database. This database contains additional information pertaining to each of the facilities noted in the Federal Register, including years of activity and a general overview of facility activities.
