[CPEO-MEF] SERVICE BRANCHES TO PAY FOR ADS

[dzweifel@sbcglobal.net]

To all interested parties:

Have rcvd numerous inquiries regarding who should be ear-marked to absorb the
costs. Here's a potential solution.

In regards to the amendment to Section 2705 (d)(2) of Title 10, US Code re
"APPLICABILITY OF CERTAIN PROCEDURAL & ADMIN. RQMTS TO RABs."

All RABs will turn to their respective service branches to fund & place ads in
local newspapers. The prime contractors can be delegated w/this responsibility
if the particular service branch so wishes, it's their call.

Here at the former MCAS Tustin, Ca. our BEC/BRAC Env. Coordinator Jerry Dunaway
w/SWDIVNAVENGCMD delegates that responsibility to Bechtel Corp. as they are the
prime on-site.

Southwest Div. Naval Engineering Cmd has initiated this practice @ Tustin & El
Toro RABs since 1994.

All in all this is quite a good recommendation because it's a real hassle to
publish in the Federal Register every month or so.

This amendment will probably not be deleted in S. 1050/NATL DEF AUTH ACT FOR FY
2004 as it wends its way through the Joint Conference Committee.
