                 Act

         Pursuant to section 801(a) (2) (A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
         major rule promulgated by the Department of Labor (DOL), Office of Workers'
         Compensation Programs, entitled Performance of Functions Under This Chapter;
         Claims for Compensation Under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness
         Compensation Program Act (RIN: 1215-AB32). We received the rule on May 25,
         2001. It was published in the Federal Register as an interim final rule; request for
         comments on May 25, 2001. 66 Fed. Reg. 28948.

         The interim final rule governs the administration of the Energy Employees
         Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA). It provides lump-sum
         payments and medical benefits to covered employees of the Department of Energy,
         its predecessor agencies, and certain of its vendors, contractors, and subcontractors
         and, where applicable, survivors of such employees. The EEOICPA also provides for
         the payment of smaller lump-sum payments and medical benefits to individuals
         already found eligible for benefits under section 5 of the Radiation Exposure
         Compensation Act and, where applicable, their survivors.
