{"abstract":"DOE has created a new Office of Health, Safety and Security to strengthen and improve formulation and implementation of health, safety and security policy. Incident to creation of the new office, DOE has transferred certain health, safety and security functions to the new office that previously were carried out by the Office of Environment, Safety and Health and the Office of Security and Safety Performance Assurance. Certain functions related to DOE's responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act have been transferred to the Office of the General Counsel. Other functions outside of the core mission of health, safety and security have been transferred to other DOE offices performing similar or related functions. This notice of final rulemaking makes technical amendments to DOE's regulations to substitute the officials to whom or offices to which functions have been transferred pursuant to the reorganization of offices and functions. DOE also is removing Office of Environment, Safety and Health regulations in 10 CFR part 852 because Congress has transferred that authority to the Department of Labor. Today's regulatory amendments do not alter substantive rights or obligations under current law.","action":"Final rule; technical amendment.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY","name":"Energy Department","id":136,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/136","parent_id":null,"slug":"energy-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2006/11/28/E6-20104.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":602,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":710,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":712,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":725,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":820,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":824,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":835,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":850,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":851,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":852,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":861,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":862,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":871,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1004,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1008,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1016,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1017,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1021,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1044,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1045,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1046,"title":10},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1049,"title":10}],"citation":"71 FR 68727","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: This rule is effective on November 28, 2006.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"E6-20104","effective_on":"2006-11-28","end_page":68738,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2006/11/28/E6-20104.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/11/28/E6-20104/technical-amendments-transfer-of-office-functions-and-removal-of-obsolete-regulations","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E6-20104?publication_date=2006-11-28","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2006-11-28/E6-20104/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":12,"page_views":{"count":273,"last_updated":"2026-07-26 06:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2006-11-28/pdf/E6-20104.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2006-11-28","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2006/11/28/E6-20104.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1901-AB22":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["1901-AB22"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T20:19:56Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":68727,"subtype":null,"title":"Technical Amendments: Transfer of Office Functions and Removal of Obsolete Regulations","toc_doc":"Technical amendments","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Air transportation","Aircraft","Alcohol abuse","Beryllium","Classified information","Drug abuse","Environmental impact statements","Federal buildings and facilities","Freedom of information","Government contracts","Government employees","Grant programs-health","Hazardous materials transportation","Hazardous substances","Health","Law enforcement","Lung diseases","Medical research","National defense","Nuclear energy","Nuclear materials","Occupational safety and health","Penalties","Plutonium","Privacy","Radiation protection","Radioactive materials","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Security measures","Whistleblowing","Workers' compensation"],"type":"Rule","volume":71}
