Subtitle E of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 ( 42 U.S.C. 7385s et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 3681 the following: In this section, the term site exposure matrices means an exposure assessment of a Department of Energy facility that identifies— the toxic substances or processes that were commonly used in each building or process of the facility, including the trade name (if any) of the substance; and the time frame during which the potential for exposure to toxic substances existed at such facility.
Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of the Toxic Exposure Safety Act of 2020 , the Secretary of Labor shall, in coordination with the Secretary of Energy, create or update site exposure matrices for each Department of Energy facility based on the records, files, and other data provided by the Secretary of Energy and such other information as is available, including information available from the former worker medical screening programs of the Department of Energy.
Beginning 90 days after the initial creation or update described in subsection (b), and each 90 days thereafter, the Secretary shall update the site exposure matrices with all information available as of such time from the Secretary of Energy. The Secretary of Energy shall furnish to the Secretary of Labor any information that the Secretary of Labor finds necessary or useful for the production of the site exposure matrices under this section, including records from the Department of Energy former worker medical screening program.
The Secretary of Labor shall make available to the public, on the primary website of the Department of Labor— the site exposure matrices, as periodically updated under subsections
(b)and (c); each site profile prepared under section 3633(a); any other database used by the Secretary of Labor to evaluate claims for compensation under this Act; and statistical data, in the aggregate and disaggregated by each Department of Energy facility, regarding— the number of claims filed under this subtitle and the number of claims filed by members of the Toxic Special Exposure Cohort who are covered under subtitle B; the illnesses claimed; the number of claims filed for each illness and, for each claim, whether the claim was approved or denied; the number of claimants receiving compensation; and the length of time required to process each claim, as measured from the date on which the claim is filed to the final disposition of the claim. There is authorized and hereby appropriated to the Secretary of Energy, for fiscal year 2021 and each succeeding year, such sums as may be necessary to support the Secretary of Labor in creating or updating the site exposure matrices. .
