SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    DoD is proposing to amend DFARS subpart 223.71, currently titled 
``Storage and Disposal of Toxic and Hazardous Materials,'' to conform 
subpart 223.71 to 10 U.S.C. 2692. Additionally, the contract clause at 
252.223.7006 is being reformatted to facilitate the use of automated 
contract writing systems.
    As part of DoD's retrospective analysis, a review of DFARS part 223 
was conducted for the purpose of streamlining the regulations. It was 
determined that additional clarification to DFARS 223 is needed to 
assure compliance with existing standards under 10 U.S.C. 2692, 
entitled Storage, Treatment, and Disposal of Nondefense Toxic and 
Hazardous Materials. Originally, DAR case 92-D361 was opened in 1993 to 
address the requirements of the Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 1993 (Pub. L. 102-484), which modified 10 U.S.C. 2692. An interim 
rule, DAR case 92-D361, was published in the Federal Register on May 
13, 1993, (58 FR 28458) to implement the requirements of 10 U.S.C. 2692 
and DoD Directive 6050.8. Prior to the interim rule, no coverage 
existed in the DFARS. However, DoD Directive 6050.8, Storage and 
disposal of non-DOD owned hazardous or toxic materials on DoD 
installations, had been previously issued on February 27, 1986, to 
cover the requirements of 10 U.S.C. 2692. Over the years a number of 
amendments to the statute have been issued. DoD Directive 6050.8 was 
cancelled on September 10, 1998, as having served its purpose. 
Accordingly, this rule proposes to amend DFARS 223.71 to better align 
the DFARS to the current provisions set forth in 10 U.S.C. 2692 by--
     Revising text to reflect current language and restrictions 
contained within the statute;
     Reorganizing and partially rewriting sections to provide 
greater clarity to contracting officers;
     Adding a new clause prescription under 223.7104; and
     Revising the basic clause and alternate to require 
flowdown of the clause to subcontractors.

A. Discussion

    This rule proposes to make the following changes:
     Revise the 223.71 heading by adding the word ``treatment'' 
and changing ``toxic and hazardous'' to ``toxic or hazardous''. The 
revised heading is ``Storage, Treatment, and Disposal of Toxic or 
Hazardous Materials''.
     Add a new section 223.7101, Definitions, to include the 
terms ``storage'' and ``toxic or hazardous materials'' and provide a 
cross reference to clause 252.223-7006, ``Prohibition on Storage, 
Treatment, and Disposal of Toxic or Hazardous Materials,'' where the 
terms are defined. The remaining sections in subpart 223.71 are 
renumbered as a result of adding the new section 223.7101, Definitions.
     Redesignate 223.7100, Policy, as section 223.7102, Policy. 
The redesignated section 223.7102, paragraph (a) adds the term 
``treatment'' to the 10 U.S.C. 2692 list of prohibited actions and 
includes a statement that the prohibition applies to toxic or hazardous 
materials ``that are not owned either by DoD or by a member of the 
armed forces (or a dependent of the member) assigned to or provided 
military housing on the installation, unless an exception in 223.7104 
applies.'' A new paragraph (b), implementing 10 U.S.C. 2692(c)(2), is 
added to state that when storage of toxic or hazardous materials is 
authorized based on imminent danger, the storage provided is required 
to be temporary and must cease once the imminent danger no longer 
exists. In all other cases, the storage or disposal is required to be 
terminated as determined by the Secretary.
     Redesignate 223.7101, Procedures, as section 223.7103, 
Procedures. The following changes are made to the redesignated section 
223.7102. Paragraph (a) is redesignated as paragraph (b). The original 
paragraph (b) is redesignated as subparagraph (a)(2) and revised for 
purposes of clarity and to conform to 10 U.S.C. 2692(b)(11). A new 
subparagraph (a)(1) is added to clearly identify and direct the reader 
to the prohibition exceptions.
     Redesignate 223.7102, Exceptions, as section 223.7104, 
Exceptions. The following changes are made to the redesignated section 
223.7104. Subparagraphs (a)(1) through (a)(9) are redesignated as 
(a)(2) through (a)(10), new subparagraphs (a)(1) and (a)(11) are added 
to the list of exceptions, and newly redesignated subparagraphs (a)(3), 
(a)(9), and (a)(10) are revised. Paragraph (b) is revised to require an 
additional finding by the Secretary of Defense that storage or disposal 
would not compete with private enterprise (see 10 U.S.C. 2692(c)). The 
additions and revisions to the redesignated section 223.7104 are as 
discussed below.
    Subparagraph (a)(1) adds an exemption to the prohibition for the 
storage, treatment, or disposal of materials used in connection with an 
activity of DoD or in connection with a service performed on a DoD 
installation for the benefit of DoD (see 10 U.S.C. 2692(b)(1)).
    Subparagraph (a)(3) is revised to expand the exception for storage 
or disposal of explosives when no alternative exists to State or local 
law enforcement under the conditions set forth in the subparagraph (see 
10 U.S.C. 2692(b)(3)).

[[Page 4650]]

    Subparagraph (a)(9) is revised to remove the term ``a private 
person'' and expands the exception for the storage of toxic or 
hazardous materials not owned by DoD but is required or generated in 
connection with the authorized and compatible use of a facility of DoD, 
including the use of such a facility for testing material or training 
personnel (see 10 U.S.C. 2692(b)(9)).
    Subparagraph (a)(10) is revised to remove the term ``non-DoD owned 
material'' and replace it with ``toxic or hazardous materials not owned 
by DoD'', remove the term ``by a private person,'' remove the language 
concerning commercial use of an industrial facility and replace it to 
reflect use of a facility of that military department when the 
Secretary enters into a contract or agreement with the prospective 
user, and replace the term ``that person's'' with ``the prospective 
user's'' (see 10 U.S.C. 2692(b)(10)).
    Subparagraph (a)(11) adds an exemption for the storage of material 
not owned by DoD when the Secretary of the military department 
concerned determines the material is required or generated in 
connection with the use of a space launch facility on a DoD 
installation or other land controlled by the United States (see 10 
U.S.C. 2692(b)(11)).
     A new section 223.7105, Reimbursement, is added to provide 
that the Secretary of Defense may assess a charge for any storage or 
disposal provided under the subpart. Any assessed costs shall be 
identified in the contract and are required to be paid to the 
Government on a reimbursable cost basis and (see 10 U.S.C. 2692(d)(1)).
     Redesignate 223.7103, Contract clause, as section 
223.7106, Contract clause, and revise the clause title to read 
``Prohibition on Storage, Treatment, and Disposal of Toxic or Hazardous 
Materials''. The changes made to the redesignated section 223.7106 are 
discussed below.
    Paragraph (a) revises the basic clause prescription by broadening 
the clause application to include solicitations and contracts that may 
require access to a DoD installation, unless a determination is made 
under 223.7104(a)(10). Offerors and contractors requiring access to a 
DoD installation will be put on notice of the prohibition of storing, 
treating, or disposing of non-DoD toxic or hazardous waste on a DoD 
installation.
    Paragraph (b) is revised to reflect the revised title for the 
alternate clause and the redesignation of 223.7102(a)(9) as 
223.7104(a)(10).
     The clause 252.223-7006 titled is revised to read 
``Prohibition on Storage, Treatment, and Disposal of Toxic or Hazardous 
Materials.'' New clause preface paragraphs (a) and (b) are added to 
address use of the basic and alternate clauses. Additional changes are 
made to the basic and alternate clauses as discussed below:
    The basic clause is expanded to include the treatment and 
reimbursement of costs to the Government. A requirement to flow down 
the substance of the basic clause is also added.
    The alternate clause is modified to reflect the redesignation of 
223.7102(a)(9) as 223.7104(a)(10). The flowdown provision is expanded 
to all subcontractors that may be permitted access to a DoD 
installation. The alternate clause also clarifies that the substance of 
the clause shall be flowed down to all subcontract tiers and that the 
prime Contractor is not relieved of liability by flowing the substance 
of the clause down to subcontractors.

B. Clause With an Alternate

    In order to facilitate the use of automated contract writing 
systems, DoD is processing multiple cases, by DFARS part, to modify the 
naming convention for clauses with alternates, revise the clause 
prescriptions and clause prefaces, and provide the full text of each 
alternate in the regulation.
    This rule proposes to revise the title of the basic clause and its 
alternate, consistent with the new naming convention for clauses with 
alternates. The title of the basic clause is revised to read 
``Prohibition on Storage, Treatment, and Disposal of Toxic or Hazardous 
Materials-Basic.'' Likewise, the title of the alternate clause is 
revised to read ``Prohibition on Storage, Treatment, and Disposal of 
Toxic or Hazardous Materials-Alternate'' in lieu of ``Alternate I''.
    Providing the full text of the alternate clause in the regulation 
should make the clause clearer to DoD contracting officers and to 
offerors. The current convention for alternates is to show in the 
regulation only the changed material that differs from the basic 
solicitation provision or clause. Providing the full text of the 
alternate in the regulation will clarify the paragraph substitutions.

III. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563

    Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess 
all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). E.O. 
13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, 
of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. 
This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, is subject to 
review under section 6(b) of E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and 
Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 
U.S.C. 804.

IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    DoD does not expect this proposed rule to have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the 
meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq, 
because the objective of the rule is to conform the DFARS with the 
statute regarding the storage, treatment, or disposal of toxic or 
hazardous materials not owned by DoD on DoD installations and to 
facilitate the use of automated contract writing systems. However, an 
initial regulatory flexibility analysis has been performed and is 
summarized as follows:
    The legal basis for the rule is 10 U.S.C. 2692, as amended. DoD is 
proposing to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 
Supplement (DFARS) to conform to the statute and apply the new paradigm 
for clauses with alternates.
    This rule affects contractors and subcontractors performing 
contracts that involve the storage, treatment, or disposal of toxic or 
hazardous materials not owned by DoD on a DoD installation. The Federal 
Procurement Data System does not provide identification of how many 
contractors and subcontractors (whether large or small) may be 
affected. Although the rule does provide more exceptions to the 
prohibition, as provided in 10 U.S.C. 2692, it also implements 10 
U.S.C. 2692(d)(1), which provides that the Secretary of Defense may 
assess a charge for any storage or disposal provided under this 
section. Any such charge shall be on a reimbursable cost basis.
    The rule does not duplicate, overlap, or conflict with any other 
Federal rules. No alternatives were determined that will accomplish the 
objectives of the rule.
    DoD invites comments from small business concerns and other 
interested parties on the expected impact of this rule on small 
entities.
    DoD will also consider comments from small entities concerning the 
existing regulations in subparts affected by this rule in accordance 
with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested parties must submit such comments 
separately and should cite 5 U.S.C. 610 (DFARS Case 2013-D013), in 
correspondence.

V. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The rule does not contain any information collection requirements 
that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 
the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).

member) assigned to or provided military housing on the installation, 
unless an exception in 223.7104 applies.
    (b) When storage of toxic or hazardous materials is authorized 
based on an imminent danger, the storage provided shall be temporary 
and shall cease once the imminent danger no longer exists. In all other 
cases of storage or disposal, the storage or disposal shall be 
terminated as determined by the Secretary of Defense.


223.7103  Procedures.

    (a)(1) Storage, treatment, or disposal of toxic or hazardous 
materials not owned by DoD on a DoD installation is prohibited unless--
    (i) One or more of the exceptions set forth in 223.7104(a) is met 
including requisite approvals; or
    (ii) Secretary of Defense authorization is obtained under the 
conditions set forth in 223.7104(b).
    (2) When storage, treatment, or disposal of toxic or hazardous 
materials not owned by DoD is authorized in accordance with this 
subpart, the contract shall specify the types and quantities of toxic 
or hazardous materials that may be temporarily stored, treated, or 
disposed of in connection with the contract or as a result of the 
authorized use of a DoD facility or space launch facility. All 
solicitations and contracts shall specify the conditions under which 
storage, treatment, or disposal is authorized.
    (b) If the contracting officer is uncertain as to whether 
particular activities are prohibited or fall under one of the 
exceptions in 223.7104, the contracting officer should seek advice from 
the cognizant office of counsel.


223.7104  Exceptions.

    (a) The prohibition of 10 U.S.C. 2692 does not apply to any of the 
following:
    (1) The storage, treatment, or disposal of materials that will be 
or have been used in connection with an activity of DoD or in 
connection with a service to be performed on a DoD installation for the 
benefit of DoD.
    (2) The storage of strategic and critical materials in the National 
Defense Stockpile under an agreement for such storage with the 
Administrator of General Services Administration.
    (3) The temporary storage or disposal of explosives in order to 
protect the public or to assist agencies responsible for Federal, 
State, or local law enforcement in storing or disposing of explosives 
when no alternative solution is available, if such storage or disposal 
is made in accordance with an agreement between the Secretary of 
Defense and the head of the Federal, State, or local agency concerned.
    (4) The temporary storage or disposal of explosives in order to 
provide emergency lifesaving assistance to civil authorities.
    (5) The disposal of excess explosives produced under a DoD 
contract, if the head of the military department concerned determines, 
in each case, that an alternative feasible means of disposal is not 
available to the contractor, taking into consideration public safety, 
available resources of the contractor, and national defense production 
requirements.
    (6) The temporary storage of nuclear materials or nonnuclear 
classified materials in accordance with an agreement with the Secretary 
of Energy.
    (7) The storage of materials that constitute military resources 
intended to be used during peacetime civil emergencies in accordance 
with applicable DoD regulations.
    (8) The temporary storage of materials of other Federal agencies in 
order to provide assistance and refuge for commercial carriers of such 
material during a transportation emergency.
    (9) The storage of any material that is not owned by DoD, if the 
Secretary of the military department concerned determines that the 
material is required or generated in connection with the authorized and 
compatible use of a facility of DoD, including the use of such a 
facility for testing material or training personnel.
    (10) The treatment and disposal of any toxic or hazardous materials 
not owned by DoD if the Secretary of the military department concerned 
determines that the material is required or generated in connection 
with the authorized and compatible use of a facility of that military 
department and the Secretary enters into a contract or agreement with 
the prospective user that--
    (i) Is consistent with the best interest of national defense and 
environmental security; and
    (ii) Provides for the prospective user's continued financial and 
environmental responsibility and liability with regard to the material.
    (11) The storage of any material that is not owned by DoD if the 
Secretary of the military department concerned determines that the 
material is required or generated in connection with the use of a space 
launch facility located on a DoD installation or on other land 
controlled by the United States.
    (b) The Secretary of Defense may grant an exception to the 
prohibition in 10 U.S.C. 2692 when essential to protect the health and 
safety of the public from imminent danger if the Secretary otherwise 
determines the exception is essential and if the storage or disposal 
authorized does not compete with private enterprise.


223.7105  Reimbursement.

    The Secretary of Defense may assess a charge for any storage or 
disposal provided under this subpart. If a charge

[[Page 4652]]

is to be assessed, then such assessment shall be identified in the 
contract with payment to the Government on a reimbursable cost basis.


223.7106  Contract clause.

    Use the basic or the alternate of the clause at 252.223-7006, 
Prohibition on Storage, Treatment, and Disposal of Toxic or Hazardous 
Materials, in all solicitations and contracts which require, may 
require, or permit contractor access to a DoD installation.

paragraph (d).

PROHIBITION ON STORAGE, TREATMENT, AND DISPOSAL OF TOXIC OR HAZARDOUS 
MATERIALS--ALTERNATE I (DATE)

    (a) Definitions. As used in this clause--
    Storage means a non-transitory, semi-permanent or permanent 
holding, placement, or leaving of material. It does not include a
