Policy and Guidance

DoD has issued guidance to assist installations in applying EPCRA regulations to DoD activities.  The current DoD EPCRA Policy "Consolidated Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Policy for DoD Installations, Munitions Activities, and Operational Ranges" (21 September 2006) should be used in conjunction with EPA EPCRA guidance to determine an installation's reporting requirements.  Where conflicts exist between the DoD and EPA guidance, DoD personnel should follow DoD guidance first and foremost.  The DoD EPCRA Policy consolidates and supersedes all previous DoD EPCRA policies issued by the Office of the Secretary of Defense.  The previous policies include (for reference only):
