DoD’s Executive Order 13423: Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals Reduction Plan for Lifecycle Chemical Management May 8, 2008

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics EO Requirements (Jan 2007) Section 2. Goals for Agencies (e) – Ensure that the agency reduces the quantity of toxic and hazardous chemicals and materials acquired, used, or disposed of by the agency Section 3. Duties of Heads of Agencies (a) – Reduction or elimination of acquisition and use of toxic or hazardous chemicals E.O Implementing Instructions, Section VIII.A – “…each agency…shall develop written goals and support actions to identify and reduce the release and use of toxic and hazardous chemicals and materials, including toxic chemicals, hazardous substances, ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), and other pollutants that may result in significant harm to human health or the environment.” – The initial plan should address actions at the agency level.

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Organization of the DoD Plan Foundational Concepts – Builds upon existing programs as starting point for continual improvement – Employs the DoD Environmental Management System (EMS) framework Weapon Systems and Facilities Lifecycle Perspective – Focuses on three key phases: Acquisition, Operations & Sustainment, and Disposal Sound Business-Planning Approach – Characterizes current situation – Recognizes best practices and potential barriers – Uses gap analysis to identify next steps

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Groups Contributing to the Plan DoD Programs Germane to Toxic and Hazardous Chemical Management – Systems Acquisition Environment Safety and Occupational Health – Emerging Contaminants – Environmental Management Systems (EMS) – Green Procurement – Hazardous Material Business Transformation – Hazardous Waste – Ozone Depleting Substances – Toxics Release Inventory

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Evolution of the Plan Collaborative Development within OSD and the Components via – EO implementation work group – EO chemical plan sub-group Completion of Office of the Federal Environmental Executive (OFEE) Checklist – Self-assessment by eight (8) DoD major programs relevant to lifecycle chemical management – Compile and integrate program-specific submittals DoD internal review, staffing and approval by the EO Executive Committee

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics EO Executive Committee Proposed Overarching Objective: Champion E.O. implementation efforts and support the execution of the Implementation Plan. Proposed membership includes the Chair (DUSD(I&E)), and DUSD, ADUSD, and Component-level equivalents spanning the OUSD(AT&L) business areas

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics DoD Toxic & Hazardous Chemicals Reduction Plan Collective evaluation of DoD chemical management programs for gaps – February 29, 2008: Initiation of a Lifecycle Chemical Management gap analysis Establish centralized OSD policy for chemical management activities – March 31, 2008: Institutionalize the EO Executive Committee as a permanent, cross-functional, OSD-level body – May 30, 2008: Draft goals and roles for Lifecycle Chemical Management – August 29, 2008: Issue a policy memo launching a Lifecycle Chemical Management initiative within DoD Continue work necessary for DoD’s successful implementation of the toxic and hazardous chemical reduction goals set forth in EO –November 28, 2008: Submit to OMB/OFEE an update documenting progress to date and actions proposed to address gaps, overlaps and barriers to implement Lifecycle Chemical Management DoD Plan Submitted to OFEE on FEB 1, 2008

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Evolution of DoD Chemical Management 1990’s… … P2....Hazmat.……..…EMS/ESOHMS EO …….. “Pharmacies” DoD Lifecycle Chemical Management Transformation Timeline

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Building Blocks for Lifecycle Chemical Management DoD and Component Environmental Management Systems Component supply chain transformation providing materiel visibility at the chemical ingredient level – Army Single Army Logistics Enterprise – Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System – Global Combat Support System-Marine Corps – Others (?) Evolving data standards and sources – DoD Hazmat “BPR” standard data and risk-based business process – DoD centralized access to authoritative product and chemical data – International / Industry initiatives oUnited Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) Product Safety Data Initiative oSupplier-Retailer Chemical Ingredient Initiative

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Materiel Visibility at the Chemical* Level What is the nature, quantity, and location of chemicals in DoD’s supply chain? How are these chemicals being used? How are these chemicals being consumed, released, or disposed? *Chemicals may be in pure form, or ingredients of one or more items

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Product Identifier (GHS (d)) PRODUCT X SIGNAL WORD (GHS (a)) Hazard Statements (GHS (b)) Precautionary Statements (GHS (c)) Supplier Identification (GHS (e)) ACME Supply Company Address Phone Number [(01) DEC2003](99) [02-ABC2] Product Hazard Data Chemical Management Program Regulatory Data MSDS Data EMS Sustainable Operations Mission Requirements Improved operational control Align to DoD Hazmat Reengineering Initiative

Proposed Framework of Objectives Acquisition/ Procurement/ Construction Operations & Sustainment Disposal Transportation Fuel / energy conservation Chemical reduction Natural resource conservation Fuel / energy conservation Chemical reduction Natural resource conservation Fuel / energy conservation Chemical reduction Natural resource conservation Facilities Mgmt (Same as above) Supply Chain (Same as above) Procurement (Same as above) Electronics (Same as above) Weapon Systems Acquisition (Same as above) Lifecycle Phase DoD Business Line

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics On-going Actions at the DoD-Level Implementation of the DoD Plan – Institutionalize the Executive Committee (Charter) – Policy-level Gap Analysis – Draft goals, roles, responsibilities for Lifecycle Chemical Management – Define executable “next steps” toward Lifecycle Chemical Management and update the DoD Plan, accordingly DoD Business Transformation – Supply chain – Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health

Lifecycle Chemical Management Benefits Improve the safety and efficiency of supply chain processes today – Advance the identification and prioritization of mission-critical chemicals – Put the right product and the right data in the hands of the warfighter – Decrease the Department’s risks as well as costs Inform future decisions to improve sustainability of DoD supply chain missions – DoD chemical stockpiles – DoD’s research into ‘benign,’ sustainable chemicals – Responsiveness & competitiveness of U.S. industries

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Conclusion DoD has an excellent record supporting the War Fighter’s combat safety and medical needs. Implementation of the DoD Plan will help to extend this protection over the long term, with an eye on the War Fighter.
