Dear Ms. Rohrer:

SUBJECT: DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE COMMENTS ON VIRGINIA REGULATED MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS

As the Department of Defense (DoD) Regional Environmental Coordinator (REC) for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region III, Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic is responsible for coordinating responses to state environmental legislative and regulatory matters of interest on behalf of the military services. The DoD takes very seriously its dual responsibility to carry out its military mission while protecting the environment.

The DoD appreciates the opportunity to provide comments for consideration in response to proposed Regulated Medical Waste Management Regulations (repealing 9VAC20-120-10 through 9VAC20-120-1000 and adding 9VAC20-121-10 through 9VAC20-121-420). The enclosure provides DoD comments that will provide clarifications and recommended corrections to the regulations once adopted.
