SUBJECT: Report to Congress - Status ofFo eign-Manufactured Polychlorinated Biphenyls 

(PCBs) 

• Recommend you sign the letters (TAB A) transmitting the Report to Congress on the state of 

Foreign Manufactured PCBs under the control of DoD outside the United States (TAB B). 

PCBs are chlorinated hydrocarbons that cause cancer. It was primarily used as coolant in 

transformers until their manufacture was banned internationally in 2001. 

• Section 317(c) of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act of2007, Pub. L. 109-

364, directs the Secretary of Defense to submit the report on the remaining volume ofPCBs 

that may require transportation into the United States for disposal, treatment, or storage; and a 

description of efforts to either reduce the volume of such PCBs or to develop alterative options 

for their disposal, treatment, or storage (TAB C). 

• While DoD no longer buys or installs equipment containing PCBs (U.S.- or foreign-made), 

the Department's policy is to replace the equipment at the end of service life. Therefore, 

disposal of equipment containing PCBs will continue for many years. 

• DoD has foreign-made PCBs in many countries. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has 

identified options where DoD owns PCBs, except for Japan. DoD has approximately 1.8 

million pounds of equipment containing foreign-made PCB's still in service in Japan. The 

Japanese Government has been unable to allow DoD access to its disposal facilities due to 

restrictions based upon Japanese law. DLA and U.S. Forces Japan will continue to work with 

the Government of Japan to gain access to in-country disposal capacity. 

• In the meantime, DoD must bring these PCBs to the United States for disposal. In accordance 

with the Toxic Substances Control Act, EPA must issue an exemption to import foreign-made 

PCBs for disposal. Each exemption is for a specified quantity of PCBs and is only valid for 2 

years. DLA has successful imported and destroyed PCBs from Japan under 2 previous 

exemptions. DLA is preparing a third petition for a third exemption. 

• TAB D is the compliance matrix showing that all reporting requirements have been met. 

• Preparation of this report cost approximately $13,000 at TAB E. 

RECOMMENDATION: Sign the letters at TAB A.

Report to Congress in Response to Section 317 of Public Law 109-364, 

the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 

I. INTRODUCTION 

Section 317(c) of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act of2007, Public 

Law 109-364, directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on the status of foreignmanufactured Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) under the control of the Department of Defense 

(DoD) outside the United States. The report requires DoD to address the remaining volume of 

PCBs that may require transportation into the United States for disposal, treatment, or storage; 

and to provide a description of efforts to either reduce the volume of such PCBs or to develop 

alterative options for their disposal, treatment, or storage. 

II. STATUS OF FOREIGN-MANUFACTURED PCBs UNDER THE CONTROL OF 

THE DoD OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES 

DoD historically has used foreign-manufactured PCB-containing equipment at 

installations in eight countries: Belgium, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Spain, Turkey, and the 

United Kingdom (Report to Congress, Foreign-Manufactured PCBs at U.S. Military Installations 

Overseas, March 1999). Such equipment has been and continues to be taken out of service on 

U.S. military installations overseas and temporarily stored until disposal can be arranged in 

accordance with international and local law and disposal capacity. The inventory of PCBcontaining equipment includes items such as transformers (drained and un-drained), large and 

small capacitors, voltage regulators, switches, electromagnets, circuit breakers, reclosers, 

electrical cable, electric light ballasts, some types of used dielectric fluids, contaminated soil, and 

debris. 

III. REMAINING VOLUME OF FOREIGN-MANUFACTURED PCBs 

DoD currently holds equipment containing foreign-manufactured PCBs in only two 

countries: Japan and the Republic of Korea. Table 1 (below) provides an estimated inventory of 

foreign-manufactured PCBs still under DoD control in these two countries, including PCBcontaining materials awaiting disposal as of August 2012. The table also provides estimated 

quantities of PCBs that will require disposal through 2016 as PCB-containing equipment 

continues to reach the end of its useful life and is taken out of service. 

United States Forces Korea <USFK): USFK has 117,592 pounds of equipment 

containing foreign-manufactured PCBs remaining in that country. This quantity is on schedule 

to be taken out of service by September 2015, in compliance with the Korean Overseas 

Environmental Governing Standards. As of August 2012, USFK had 69,625 pounds of 

equipment containing foreign-manufactured PCBs awaiting treatment and disposal. Since incountry treatment and disposal options are available, these foreign-manufactured PCBs will not 

require importation into the United States, barring an unforeseen circumstance. 
United States Forces. Japan (USFJ): U.S. installations on mainland Japan have mostly 

foreign-manufactured PCBs, while installations on Okinawa have both U.S. and foreignmanufactured PCBs. Overall, the generation of PCB waste has steadily declined in Japan 

because newer, replacement equipment is required to be PCB-free. As of August 2012, the USFJ 

had approximately 213,423 pounds of equipment containing foreign-manufactured PCBs 

awaiting treatment and disposal. 

Table 1 presents: (1) annual estimates through CY 2016 of foreign-manufactured PCBs 

under the control of DoD in Japan and the Republic of Korea; and (2) the concentration of PCBs 

in PCB-containing equipment, represented in parts-per-million (ppm).

Columns A through D reflect annual estimates of PCB-containing equipment coming out

quantity of foreign-manufactured PCBs under the control of DoD remaining in Japan. 

IV. EFFORTS BY DoD AND OTHER FEDERAL AGENCIES TO REDUCE THE 

VOLUME OF FOREIGN-MANUFACTURED PCBs 

A. Reducing the Volume of Foreign-Manufactured PCBs 

On the Department's overseas installations, the majority of equipment that contains 

foreign-manufactured PCBs is DoD-owned. Current U.S. and host-nation regulations do not 

mandate the removal from use of PCB-containing equipment; however, the Overseas 

Environmental Baseline Guidance Document (OEBGD) (DoD 4715.05-G, May 1, 2007), 

provides guidance to the Department's overseas installations on the elimination of PCBcontaining equipment and products. Under the OEBGD guidelines, the Department's overseas 

installations should procure replacement equipment that meets newer PCB-regulation standards. 

Consequently, all DoD installations have restrictions on purchasing or otherwise taking control 

of equipment containing PCBs. DoD installations in Japan continue to encourage that nation to 

utilize PCB-free equipment when supplied under a host nation-funded construction program. 

2 
Occasionally, DoD overseas installations accept and manage foreign-manufactured PCBs 

on behalf ofF ederal agencies that are under similar mandates to reduce or eliminate use of the 

PCB-containing equipment; however at present, no DoD installations overseas have such PCBs. 

DoD will, however, continue to honor requests from other Federal agencies to manage 

equipment containing foreign-manufactured PCBs. 

The OEBGD prescribes environmental compliance standards that DoD's overseas 

installations must meet regarding the management of PCBs. Under this guidance, DoD 

continues to manage the PCB inventory while reducing its volume over time. It is anticipated 

that equipment containing foreign-manufactured PCBs now in the Republic of Korea will come 

out of service entirely by FY 2015, in compliance with the Korean Overseas Environmental 

Governing Standards. PCB treatment and disposal will be managed locally in the Republic of 

Korea. 

The OEBGD also provides specific guidance consistent with international and U.S. 

requirements relating to the storage, treatment, and disposal of PCB waste - DoD installations 

are required to dispose of all PCB waste in accordance with standards established by the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As the disposal agent for DoD, the Defense Logistics 

Agency (DLA) awards and administers disposal contracts for foreign-manufactured PCBs. DLA 

Disposition Services handles disposal in accordance with DoD 4160.21-M, "Defense Materiel 

Disposition Manual." Depending on the country in which a DoD installation is located, PCB 

disposal occurs either in-country or via export to the United States through a petition to the EPA 

for "Exemption Under Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to Import and Dispose ofPCBs." 

Currently, only foreign-manufactured PCBs in Japan require importation into the United 

States for disposal. DoD has imported approximately 3.6 million pounds ofPCBs and PCBcontaining equipment pursuant to two exemptions previously granted by the EPA: the first 

covering the period from April18, 2003, to April17, 2004; and the second covering the period 

fro~ January 7, 2008, to January 6, 2009. 

B. Development of Alternative Options for the Disposal, Treatment, or Storage of ForeignManufactured PCBs 

Long-term storage ofPCB-containing equipment or waste is not a viable option for DoD. 

Risks and costs from long term storage of any PCB waste increase over time as storage 

containers deteriorate, increasing the dangers of leakage or personnel exposure. Such risks are 

often exacerbated on overseas installations, as those installations are typically smaller, storage 

space is at a premium, and surrounding civilian communities are located in very close proximity. 

Continued accumulations of equipment containing PCBs, indefinite storage capacities, human 

error, and increased regional potential for natural disasters further heighten the risks of spillage 

or exposure. Long-term storage also adversely impacts mission, as PCB waste occupies valuable 

storage space that would otherwise be available for mission requirements. 

Without a bilateral or multilateral agreement, the Basel Convention on the Control of 

Trans boundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal prohibits waste shipments 

between nations that are parties to the Convention and those that are not. The United Kingdom, 

Germany, and Belgium each have facilities that are now used to treat, and are technologically 

3 
capable of disposing ofU.S.-generated PCB waste. The Republic of Korea has facilities with the 

capability to treat low-level PCB wastes. The remainder ofUSFK PCB waste is exported to 

tliird countries for disposal, and DoD works with those countries to develop options for the 

disposal of PCB waste in-country. 

In-country PCB disposal is especially difficult in Japan, as that nation has limited 

treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. The situation is compounded by the fact that Japan 

restricts the export of any foreign-manufactured PCBs to third countries for disposal. Therefore, 

DoD must return such foreign-manufactured PCBs to the United States as the country of origin. 

Even though the Government of Japan has been successful in the construction and operation of 

five new PCB treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, these facilities are dedicated to 

processing only domestically generated high-concentration PCB waste. 

In CY 2011, USFJ and DLA informally pursued inquiries with Japanese sources 

regarding DoD's interest in the treatment and disposal ofPCBs in private Japanese facilities. 

The private facilities are certified by Japan's Ministry of Environment and only treat low-level 

PCB waste. As indicated in Column G of Table 1, equipment containing low concentrations of 

foreign-manufactured PCBs held by DoD installations in Japan constitute over 92 percent of that 

country's total PCB inventory. DLA's efforts identified one private Japanese firm that indicated 

a potential capability to process less than 20 percent of DoD's current low-PCB concentration 

waste stream in Japan. Even at that level, however, the potential for local PCB-processing in 

Japan is of significant interest to DLA; consequently, DLA is continuing to explore this avenue. 

The United States will continue to work with the Government of Japan to see if 

implementing in-country treatment and disposal of foreign-manufactured PCBs under DoD 

control in Japan will be possible. However, even if in-country disposal is viable, it will not 

account for all waste streams generated. Therefore, DoD is preparing a petition to the 

Administrator of EPA for exemption under TSCA to import and properly dispose of foreignmanufactured PCBs and PCB items in the United States.
