Coordination of Federal Authorizations for Electric Transmission Facilities
The Coordinated Interagency Transmission Authorizations and Permits Program (CITAP) streamlines federal permitting for electric transmission facilities by coordinating multi-agency authorizations and establishing binding deadlines. The rule creates an Integrated Interagency Pre-Application Process enabling DOE to prepare a unified environmental review document under NEPA and coordinate compliance with endangered species protections and historic preservation requirements while promoting early stakeholder engagement.

The program applies continuous evaluation to DOE/NNSA employees and contractors in designated positions, assessing conditions affecting judgment including substance abuse, mental/physical disorders, and security concerns.
Allegations of Research Misconduct
10 CFR Part 733 establishes Department of Energy policy for handling allegations of research misconduct in federally funded research. Research misconduct is defined as fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, performing, or reviewing research, excluding honest error.

Power and Transmission Rates
10 CFR Part 903 establishes procedures for public participation in power and transmission rate adjustments by four federal Power Marketing Administrations (Alaska, Southeastern, Southwestern, and Western Area). The regulations define rate development processes, public consultation requirements, Secretary interim approval, and FERC submission, distinguishing minor adjustments (under 1% revenue change or systems with low capacity/sales) from major adjustments requiring full public participation.
Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High-Level Radioactive Waste
10 CFR Part 961 establishes standard contract terms for the Department of Energy to accept title to, transport, and dispose of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste from civilian nuclear power reactor owners and generators. Owners and generators pay fees to recover DOE's full disposal costs, with receipts deposited in the Nuclear Waste Fund. Contracts must be executed by June 30, 1983, or by the date the owner/generator commences generation or takes title to such waste, whichever is later.
General Regulations for the Charges for the Sale of Power from the Boulder Canyon Project
The Western Area Power Administration establishes general regulations for computing charges for electricity sales from the Boulder Canyon Project (Hoover Dam), effective June 1, 1987. The regulations define methodology for pricing capacity and energy sales under authority of the Boulder Canyon Project Act of 1928, the Adjustment Act of 1940, and the Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984, superseding prior regulations and defining key billing and contractual terms.
Procedures for Determining Eligibility for Access to Classified Matter and Special Nuclear Material or Eligibility to Hold a Sensitive Position
This Department of Energy regulation establishes procedures for determining eligibility of DOE employees, contractors, and other designated persons for access to classified information, special nuclear material, and sensitive positions. It implements multiple executive orders and the National Security Adjudicative Guidelines, outlining administrative review and appeals processes while ensuring fairness and preventing retaliation.
Definition of Nonrecourse Project-Financed
This regulation defines 'nonrecourse project-financed' under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 for identifying new independent power production facilities. Nonrecourse project-financed means debt is secured by facility assets and revenues (including electric output sales), with electric utilities having no repayment obligation. Limited guarantees and cost overrun commitments do not disqualify a facility provided the borrower's primary repayment obligation derives from facility revenues. Fully equity-financed projects also qualify.
Protection of Human Subjects
10 CFR Part 745 establishes the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, applying to all federally-conducted, supported, or regulated research involving human subjects. Department heads determine coverage and may grant waivers consistent with Belmont Report principles. The policy permits equivalent foreign procedures and does not supersede state, local, tribal, or foreign laws providing additional protections.
Transfer of Real Property at Defense Nuclear Facilities for Economic Development
10 CFR Part 770 establishes procedures for the Department of Energy to transfer real property at closed or downsized defense nuclear facilities through sale or lease to support economic development. The rule includes indemnification procedures for claims arising from releases of hazardous substances or contaminants resulting from DOE activities, subject to NEPA review and fund availability.
Reimbursement for Costs of Remedial Action at Active Uranium and Thorium Processing Sites
10 CFR Part 765 establishes federal reimbursement procedures for remedial action costs at active uranium and thorium processing sites licensed under the NRC or Agreement States. Licensees may claim reimbursement for decontamination, decommissioning, reclamation, and other remedial costs attributable to byproduct material from US sales, subject to individual site caps of $6.25 per ton and aggregate caps of $350 million for uranium and $365 million for thorium sites, both adjusted for inflation.
Claims for Patent and Copyright Infringement
10 CFR Part 782 establishes procedures for the Department of Energy to investigate, settle, and dispose of patent and copyright infringement claims. Claimants must submit written claims with allegations of infringement, compensation requests, patent/copyright citations, identification of allegedly infringing items or processes, and supporting documentation. The General Counsel is authorized to investigate and administratively resolve claims before litigation.
Nuclear Safety Management
10 CFR Part 830 establishes nuclear safety management requirements for DOE contractors, personnel, and other parties conducting activities affecting DOE nuclear facility safety. It excludes NRC-licensed activities, Naval Nuclear Propulsion operations, DOT-regulated transportation, nuclear waste activities, and space-based nuclear systems. The regulation defines key safety concepts including documented safety analyses, hazard categories, criticality, technical safety requirements, and administrative controls, applying a graded approach to compliance proportional to facility hazards and mission.
Restrictions on Aircraft Landing and Air Delivery at Department of Energy Nuclear Sites
10 CFR Part 862 prohibits aircraft landing, air delivery, and aircraft operations at DOE nuclear sites, with limited exceptions for federal government, state/local law enforcement, and emergency landings. The rule defines applicable aircraft types, designated sites, and procedures for removal of downed aircraft. Violations may result in criminal penalties under the Atomic Energy Act.
Patent Compensation Board Regulations
10 CFR Part 780 establishes procedures for the Patent Compensation Board under the Department of Energy to handle atomic energy patent proceedings. The Board determines reasonable royalty fees, grants awards, declares patents affected with public interest, issues patent licenses, and awards compensation under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and Invention Secrecy Act. The regulations define the Board's jurisdiction, filing procedures, document service requirements, and application processes.
Standby Support for Certain Nuclear Plant Delays
10 CFR Part 950 establishes a standby support program providing risk insurance contracts to sponsors of new advanced nuclear facilities approved after 1993. The program covers costs from delays caused by NRC regulatory review failures, pre-operational hearings, or litigation, with indemnification up to $500 million for the first two reactors and $250 million for subsequent reactors.
General Guidelines for the Preliminary Screening of Potential Sites for a Nuclear Waste Repository
10 CFR Part 960 establishes general guidelines for the preliminary screening and evaluation of potential sites for nuclear waste repositories under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. The regulations define key terms such as accessible environment, candidate sites, containment, and controlled areas, and establish the framework by which the Department of Energy evaluates site suitability in coordination with the NRC and affected states and Indian tribes.
