Arbitration Proceedings Arbitration between the parties will be subject to the following:
CFR PART 200 AND FEDERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS EXPLANATION TIPS and TIPS Members will sometimes seek to make purchases with federal funds. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. Part 200 of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (sometimes referred to as “XXXXX”),Vendor's response to the following questions labeled "2 CFR Part 200 or Federal Provision" will indicate Vendor's willingness and ability to comply with certain requirements which may be applicable to TIPS purchases paid for with federal funds, if accepted by Vendor. Your responses to the following questions labeled "2 CFR Part 200 or Federal Provision" will dictate whether TIPS can list this awarded contract as viable to be considered for a federal fund purchase. Failure to certify all requirements labeled "2 CFR Part 200 or Federal Provision" will mean that your contract is listed as not viable for the receipt of federal funds. However, it will not prevent award. If you do enter into a TIPS Sale when you are accepting federal funds, the contract between you and the TIPS Member will likely require these same certifications.
Stipulation The undersigned stipulates and agrees to the above findings fact and conclusions of law and waives its rights to administrative hearing and judicial review of the Commissioner’s Order.
Settlement of Disputes between the contracting parties 1. Any dispute between the Contracting Parties concerning the interpretation or application of this Agreement shall, if possible, be settled through diplomatic channels. 2. If any dispute between the Contracting Parties cannot be settled within six months (6) It shall upon the request of either Contracting Party, be submitted to an arbitral tribunal. 3. Such an arbitral tribunal shall be constituted for each individual case in the following way. Within two (2) months of the receipt of the request for arbitration, each Contracting Party shall appoint one member of the Tribunal. The two members shall then select a national of a third State, who on approval by the two Contracting Parties shall be appointed Chairman of the Tribunal. The Chairman shall be appointed within two (2) months from the date of appointment of the other two members. 4. If within the periods specified in paragraph 3 of this article the necessary appointments have not been made, either Contracting Party may, in the absence of any other agreement, invite the President of the International Court of Justice to make the necessary appointments. If the President is a national of either Contracting Party or if he is otherwise prevented from discharging the said function, the Vice-President shall be invited to make the necessary appointments. if the Vice- President is a national of either Contracting Party or if he is also prevented from discharging the function, the said member of the International Court of Justice the oldest who is not a national of either Contracting Party shall be invited to make the necessary appointments. 5.

Stipulated Facts For purposes of this Agreement only, the following constitutes a summary of facts by the EPA and SCDHEC upon which this Agreement is based. A. The DOE owns and operates the SRS. The SRS produces plutonium, tritium, and other special nuclear materials for national defense, for other governmental uses, and for civilian uses. The SRS is the nation's primary source of reactor-produced nuclear defense materials. Construction of the SRS began in 1951. The SRS is located near Aiken, South Carolina, and is approximately twenty-five (25) miles southeast of Augusta, Georgia. The SRS encompasses approximately three hundred (300) square miles. B. In March 1979, the SRS discontinued operation of seven (7) chemical, metal, and pesticide disposal pits. In 1984, under the approval and supervision of the State of South Carolina, the SRS excavated these pits and removed contaminated material. Additional groundwater monitoring xxxxx were installed. C. On December 19, 1979, pursuant to the State of South Carolina's regulations, the SRS notified the SCDHEC of SRS's hazardous waste management activities. The SRS submitted a copy of its notification to the EPA. D. In August 1980, pursuant to Section 3010 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. § 6910, the SRS notified EPA of SRS's hazardous waste management activities and submitted a copy of the notification to the SCDHEC. E. On September 29, 1980, the SRS submitted "Part A" of its hazardous waste management permit application to the SCDHEC and EPA. Since that time, the SRS has modified its "Part A" to include new units or modifications to existing units. The SRS submitted "Part B" of its permit application on February 11, 1985. F. In February 1984, the SRS began groundwater corrective/remedial action by the use of an air stripper at the SRS M-Area. G. On May 8, 1984, the SRS prepared an assessment of its waste disposal sites and groundwater impacts (Technical Summary Groundwater Quality Protection Program at Savannah River Plant). H. On May 31, 1984, the DOE notified the EPA of potential CERCLA sites at DOE facilities, including the SRS. I. On January 7, 1987, the SRS submitted to EPA a document entitled, "Waste Management Units - Savannah River Plant," which contained a listing of solid waste management units (SWMUs) on the SRS. The SWMUs list is revised annually and provided to EPA and SCDHEC. J. On September 30, 1987, the SCDHEC and EPA issued a RCRA permit for the SRS. The Federal RCRA permit requires the SRS to initiate RFIs for listed SWMUs under the authority of RCRA Sections 3004(u) and (v). The State Hazardous Waste permit contains similar conditions under Section 44-56- 10, et seq., of the Hazardous Waste Management Act. The list of SWMUs was revised on May 30, 1990, to include a total of eighty-one (81) SWMUs. K. On October 16, 1987, the SRS submitted to EPA draft Hazard Ranking System (HRS) scores and supporting information for sixty-six (66) potential sites on the SRS. On April 28, 1988, the SRS submitted to EPA its Preliminary Assessments for these sites. L. In December 1987, the SRS published its final environmental impact statement (EIS), entitled, "Waste Management Activities for Groundwater Protection: Savannah River Plant; Aiken, South Carolina." The purpose of the EIS was to identify and select a waste management strategy for the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous, radioactive, and mixed wastes. M. On May 2, 1988, the SRS submitted an RFI Program Plan to EPA and SCDHEC pursuant to its RCRA permit. On September 6, 1989, EPA conditionally approved the RFI Program Plan. N. On July 14, 1989, EPA proposed the SRS for inclusion on the NPL at 40 CFR Part 300 (54 Federal Register 29820). O. On November 21, 1989, EPA finalized the SRS on the NPL at 40 CFR Part 300 (54 Federal Register 48184), which became effective on December 21, 1989. P. The SRS is engaged in the generation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes as defined in RCRA, 42 U.S.C. §§ 6901, et seq., and as defined in the HWMA, S.C. Code Xxx. §§ 44-56-10, et seq. (Supp 1988). Q. The SRS releases, has released, and threatens to release hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants into the environment, as defined in CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601, et seq. R. Hazardous constituents, as defined by RCRA, and hazardous substances as defined by CERCLA, are present in the environment at the SRS.
Arbitration Process Any arbitration will be conducted pursuant to the applicable rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association, as modified herein, to the extent such modifications are not prohibited by the Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in Indianapolis, Indiana. The parties will select a single arbitrator, but in the event that the parties are unable to agree, the arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator will be a practicing attorney with significant expertise in litigating and/or presiding over cases involving the substantive legal areas involved in the dispute. The parties to the arbitration will not request, and the arbitrator will not order, that any discovery be taken or provided, including depositions, interrogatories or document requests, except to the extent the amount in controversy exceeds $50,000. The arbitration will be concluded within three months of the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator’s findings, reasoning, decision, and award will be stated in writing and based upon applicable law. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In the event that the arbitration results in an award which imposes an injunction or contains a monetary award in excess of $100,000, the award will be reviewable on appeal initiated by filing notice of appeal with the AAA office within 30 days of the award, governed by the AAA Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules and conducted by a panel of three new arbitrators, ruling by majority, under the procedure for appointment from the national roster of arbitrators. Unless the applicable Arbitration Rules require otherwise, arbitration fees and costs will be shared equally by the claimant(s) and respondent(s), respectively, in any arbitration proceeding. Should the AAA be unavailable, unable or unwilling to accept and administer the arbitration of any claim under these arbitration provisions as written, the parties will agree on a substitute arbitration organization, such as JAMS, that will enforce the arbitration provisions as written. Because this Agreement memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. More information about arbitration, including the Arbitration Rules, is available at xxx.xxx.xxx or by calling 0-000-000-0000.
Consent to Arbitration 17.1 Each Party consents to the submission of a claim to arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 17.2 The consent given in Article 17.1 and the submission by a disputing investor of a claim to arbitration shall satisfy the requirement of: (a) Chapter II of the ICSID Convention (Jurisdiction of the Centre) and the Additional Facility Rules for written consent of the parties; and (b) Article II of the New York Convention for an agreement in writing.
Arbitration Decisions Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the arbitrator(s) shall render a decision within ninety (90) Calendar Days of appointment and shall notify the Parties in writing of such decision and the reasons therefor. The arbitrator(s) shall be authorized only to interpret and apply the provisions of this LGIA and shall have no power to modify or change any provision of this Agreement in any manner. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon the Parties, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The decision of the arbitrator(s) may be appealed solely on the grounds that the conduct of the arbitrator(s), or the decision itself, violated the standards set forth in the Federal Arbitration Act or the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act. The final decision of the arbitrator(s) must also be filed with FERC if it affects jurisdictional rates, terms and conditions of service, Interconnection Facilities, or Network Upgrades.
