Subject: [CPEO-MEF] Hunter Amendments
 
The following three amendments were filed by Representative Duncan Hunter. All three appeared in the package that DOD submitted to Congress, however, they did not make it into the Readiness markup nor were they reported out of the full committee. If the Rules Committee approves the amendments they will be offered on the House floor later this week.


Clarifies the application of the conformity provisions of the Clean Air Act to make them more cooperative and not prohibitory when an activity is undertaken. The section maintains the Department of Defense's obligation to conform its military readiness activities to applicable State Implementation Plans, but will give the Department three years to demonstrate conformity.

Hunter #44

Provides that the presence of explosives, unexploded ordnance, munitions, munitions fragments, or constituents thereof off an operational range, or the migration off an operational range of such items, constitutes a "release" under the Comprehensive Environmental Restoration, Compensation, and Liability Act and excludes from the definition of "release" under the Act the presence of explosives, unexploded ordnance, munitions, munitions fragments, or constituents thereof that have been deposited incidental to normal use on a military range.
