Implementation of National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence Projects
Abstract
This evaluation was initiated in response to a request from the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Environmental Security) to review the National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence (NDCEE). This report is the third and final to be issued by the Inspector General, DoD, in accordance with the request. Congress established NDCEE in FY 1990. The NDCEE mission is to transfer environmentally acceptable materials and processes to DoD organizations and private industry, to provide training that supports the use of environmentally acceptable technologies, to support applied research and development and, where appropriate, to transfer new technologies. On March 14, 2000, the Secretary of the Army reassigned executive agency responsibility for NDCEE from the Army Materiel Command to the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations and Environment). The Secretary of the Army is currently restructuring the NDCEE DoD working group into an executive advisory board that consists of the Executive Agent as Chair and the Deputy Assistant Secretaries (Environment) for the three Services. The NDCEE program has received $212.2 million in congressional appropriations from FY 1990 through FY 2000. Reimbursable funding from FY 1993 through FY 2000 totaled $58.9 million.
