    (a) Policies and procedures applicable to explosive ordnance 
materials are contained in AR 75-1, AR 75-14, AR 75-15, AR 385-60, AR 
385-64, and AR 755-15 series regulations dealing with disposal of 
supplies & equipment. The disposal of deteriorated ammunitions and 
explosives will be in accordance with Army regulations in the 75, 385 
and 755 series. Every effort will be made to dispose of these wastes so

personnel safety considerations for Explosive Ordnance Disposal and 
Technical Escort Emergency Operations.
    (b) Deteriorated or unused explosives, munitions and rocket 
propellants may only be open-burned in non-urban areas and under 
conditions acceptable to Regional EPA and appropriate State Air 
Pollution Control authorities. Where there is an official prohibition 
against burning of such wastes, notification of restrictions and/or 
requests for assistance will be submitted through command channels to 
DAEN-ZCE.
    (c) Installation commanders will provide reports to DA, as 
requested, on the handling, use, inventory or disposal of explosive 
materials and on explosive accidents/incidents as required in AR 385-40.
