Data notes

The final version of the law, as each chamber passed it. A chamber that passed it by voice vote or unanimous consent has no count. “Method not stated” means the record does not say how the chamber voted. Where the record has a member-by-member vote, the “Who voted for it” section shows who voted yea.

Summary

The Congressional Research Service’s plain-language summary of what the law does.

Amends the Energy Policy Act 1992 with respect to reimbursement of licensees by the Secretary of Energy for any of the costs of decontamination, decommissioning, reclamation, and other remedial action at an active uranium or thorium processing site which are attributable to byproduct material generated as an incident of sales to the United States. Extends the mandate for such reimbursements through December 31, 2007. Repeals the alternative circumstance that costs be placed into escrow no later than December 31, 2002, and replaces it with the requirement for a plan for subsequent decontamination, decommissioning, reclamation, and other remedial action in the case of costs incurred by a licensee after December 31, 2007.

Extends from 2005 to 2008 the dateline by which the Secretary must determine whether certain authorized appropriations exceed amounts reimbursable to licensees.
