Subject
Summary:

Members of Congress have raised concerns about how the military's initiatives to better target environmental cleanup funds have been affected by the availability of funds. GAO found that the Defense Department ( DOD) uses its planning, programming, and budgeting process to make funding decisions, and DOD components ultimately make site-specific decisions. When DOD received less money than requested or rescissions occurred, Environmental Security provided written or oral guidance for DOD components' actions. Cleanup schedule delays occurred at installations when the funding received was more or less than planned. Reports of cleanup schedule and other impacts varied according to individual project circumstances and were not clearly linked to installation planned and allocated funding levels.
