C. : Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology, 1998. OCLC Number: (OCoLC)40418875 Subject: Explosive ordnance disposal. Excerpt: . . . DODS UXO responsibility includes providing UXO site clean-up project management, assuring compliance with state and local laws and environmental regulations, assumption of liability, and appropriate interactions with the public. GOVERNMENT ACTIONS The government has taken a number of recent actions concerning UXO remediation. In the conference report accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994, Congress directed DOD to undertake a large scale detection and clearance technology demonstration. An Advanced Technology Demonstration was mandated by Congress and funded for Fiscal Years 1993 and 1994. Congress also directed the Army to develop technologies for detection, neutralization and removal of mines for Operations Other Than War in the FY 1995 National Defense Authorization Act conference report. The House Committee on National Security cited the need for a central authority to plan, oversee, and coordinate the research, development and acquisition of the technology applicable to area ordnance clearance. The General Accounting Office ( GAO ) in its September 1995 report UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE: A Coordinated Approach to Detection and Clearance Is Needed, recommended that the Secretary of Defense consult with other agencies involved and then develop a plan on how such a multi-agency clearinghouse would work and urged that an executive agent be designated to serve this clearinghouse function. GAO identified over 20 US organizations that conduct or fund research and development on systems to detect and clear UXO. The Secretary of Defense was directed to prepare a plan to define research and development priorities, program management, and cooperative activities with international programs.
