          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; Claims for
          Compensation Under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation
          Program Act (RIN: 1215-AB51). We received the rule on June 8, 2005. It was
          published in the Federal Register as an interim final rule; request for comments on
          June 8, 2005. 70 Fed. Reg. 33590.

          The interim final rule governs the administration of the Energy Employees
