More Refined Tracking Requirements For MMRP Proposed

Washington, D.C. Lawmakers are debating the FY10 National Defense Authorization Act in Congress. Although the funding levels for FY10 UXO cleanup are still being debated, some lawmakers are asking for more refined cost tracking of MMRP budgets. This is evident in House Bill HR 2647 which includes a section on "Military Munitions Response Sites" (sec 318). Section 318 requires DoD to track MMRP funding requests annually by State and County. Previous Annual Reports to Congress only tracked MMRP funding by State.
