What is CDCs oversight role in reviewing the Armys chemical agent disposal program?
CDC’s oversight role in the program complies with the public law that requires CDC to review plans and other information particulars associated with transportation and disposal of lethal chemical warfare materials to ensure that public health and safety are adequately protected. This law specifies that these plans must include a description of the methods and facilities to be used, the destruction schedule, and the management organization. CDC’s role does not include oversight of the storage of chemical warfare agents.
