Justice Department
The Department of Justice ("the Department") revises its existing regulations implementing the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act ("the Act" or "RECA"), to reflect changes to RECA contained in two legislative enactments: the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act Amendments of 2000 ("2000 Amendments"), enacted on July 10, 2000; and the 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act ("Appropriations Authorization Act"), enacted on November 2, 2002. After enactment of the 2000 Amendments, the Department published two related rulemakings in the Federal Register to implement the legislation. The first, a final rule published on August 7, 2002, reflected technical changes to the Act made by the 2000 Amendments. The second, also published on August 7, 2002, was a proposed rule implementing those changes in the 2000 Amendments that required public notice and comment. Since publication of these two rulemakings, the Appropriations Authorization Act was passed; that legislation required modification to both the final and proposed rules. Therefore, this rulemaking accomplishes two essential tasks: discusses comments received regarding the "proposed" rule and reflects relevant changes made by the Department in connection with those comments; and incorporates technical revisions to the rule in order to implement the Appropriations Authorization Act.
