1996 DERP BUDGET GUIDANCE

The April 14, 1994 Management Guidance for the Defense Environmental
Restoration Program (DERP) contains data on the "outyear fiscal guidance
for FY1996" for DERP, which covers the bulk of Defense cleanup
operations. Cleanup operations at closing or recently closed bases - that is,
BRAC-funded - foreign installations, and contractor-owned facilities are not
included. These are preliminary figures, but they provide a sense of how the
Pentagon is dividing its cleanup resources. Note that the Formerly Used
Defense Sites (FUDS) program, managed by the Army Corps of Engineers,
approaches the magnitude of the active-base cleanup programs managed by
each of the three armed services. Given the size of that program, it is
appropriate that this year, for the first time, the Defense Environmental
Cleanup Program annual report lists FUDS for the first time.

Army $546,850,000
Navy $538,320,000
Air Force $518,700,000
Defense Logistics Agency $37,200,000
Defense Nuclear Agency $2,900,000
Formerly Uses Defense Sites $459,800,000

Total: $2,103,770,000
