Plan Hazardous Waste Management Plan Naval Station Rota, Spain 5 GLOSSARY In addition to the definitions provided in Chapter 6 (Hazardous Waste) of the Environmental Final Governing Standards for Spain, the following terms are included in this Hazardous Waste Management Plan. Excess hazardous material – Hazardous materials used on a ship that are to be offloaded for determination as reusable hazardous material or disposal as hazardous waste. Generating activity – organization that is creating the hazardous waste. Numero de identificación fiscal (NIF) – An identifier used in many countries, including the countries of the European Union for Value Added Tax purposes. Hazardous Waste Management Plan Naval Station Rota, Spain 6 1 INTRODUCTION Activities at Naval Station (NAVSTA) Rota, Spain generate hazardous waste (HW) and excess hazardous materials (HM) during routine operations, such as maintenance and repair activities. The proper management and disposal of the HW is necessary to protect the health and safety of personnel aboard NAVSTA Rota and the local environment. This Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP) has been developed to provide guidance related to the management of hazardous waste (HW) handling, storage, and disposal activities at NAVSTA Rota, Spain. The Hazardous Waste Program Manager (HWPM) is responsible for development, maintenance, and oversight of the implementation of this HWMP. The HWMP is specifically designed to be a working tool and to address the responsibilities and actions required of affected personnel in order to comply with requirements for the management of HW at NAVSTA Rota. These requirements are established by the Environmental Final Governing Standards for Spain (FGS-Spain), and by policies, instructions, and other applicable directives issued by Department of Defense (DoD); Department of Navy (DoN); Commander Navy Region Europe, Africa, and Southwest Asia (CNREURAFSWA); and NAVSTA Rota. Throughout this HWMP, all subsequent citations from the FGS-Spain are simply referred to as the “FGS.” In addition, it should be noted that the nomenclature for FGS section numbers includes a reference to the FGS chapter and paragraph (for example, FGS Section C6.3.1 refers to FGS Chapter 6, Paragraph 3.1). Table 1-1 provides a cross-reference between the current (2014) FGS-Spain requirements and the location of the corresponding information in this plan. The HWMP will be kept current to reflect changes in regulatory requirements and waste management activities conducted at NAVSTA Rota. The plan will be reviewed at least annually and revised as necessary (at least every five years) by the NAVSTA Rota HWPM in accordance with the instructions to the “Hazardous Waste Management Plan Record of Revisions” located at the front of this plan.

  • Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program: Background and Issues for Congress (name redacted) Specialist in Naval Affairs October 25, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL33745 Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program Summary The Aegis ballistic missile defense (BMD) program, which is carried out by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and the Navy, gives Navy Aegis cruisers and destroyers a capability for conducting BMD operations. Under MDA and Navy plans, the number of BMD-capable Navy Aegis ships is scheduled to grow from 33 at the end of FY2016 to 49 at the end of FY2021. The figure for FY2020 may include up to four BMD-capable Aegis cruisers in reduced operating status as part of a program to modernize 11 existing Aegis cruisers. Under the Administration’s European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) for European BMD operations, BMD-capable Aegis ships are operating in European waters to defend Europe from potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as Iran. BMD-capable Aegis ships also operate in the Western Pacific and the Persian Gulf to provide regional defense against potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as North Korea and Iran. The Aegis BMD program is funded mostly through MDA’s budget. The Navy’s budget provides additional funding for BMD-related efforts. MDA’s proposed FY2017 budget requests a total of $1,774.8 million in procurement and research and development funding for Aegis BMD efforts, including funding for two Aegis Ashore sites in Poland and Romania that are to be part of the EPAA. MDA’s budget also includes operations and maintenance (O&M) and military construction (MilCon) funding for the Aegis BMD program.

    NAVY TRAINING SYSTEM PLAN FOR THE EP-3E AIRCRAFT N88-NTSP-A-50-8605E/D FEBRUARY 2003 N88-NTSP-A-50-8605E/D February 2003 EP-3E AIRCRAFT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The EP-3E Aircraft is the Navy’s only land based, long range, fixed wing, Signal Intelligence (SIGINT), electronic warfare, reconnaissance aircraft. The EP-3E Aircraft provides tactical electronic reconnaissance capability for Battle Group and Joint Commanders. Currently, the EP-3E Aircraft is undergoing two major upgrades, the EP-3E Sensor System Improvement Program (SSIP) and the SIGINT Joint Signal Avionics Family (JSAF) Modernization (JMOD) program upgrade. In the 1990s, 12 P-3C non-update aircraft were converted to EP-3E Aircraft SSIP configuration under a Conversion In Lieu Of Procurement Program. The EP-3E Aircraft Sensor System Improvement Program (SSIP) is an Acquisition Category (ACAT) IVT program, and is in the Production and Deployment phase of the Defense Acquisition System (DAS). The EP-3E Aircraft JSAF Modernization Program JMOD program is an ACAT III program, and is in the System Development and Demonstration phase of the DAS. EP-3E Aircraft JMOD Initial Operational Capability (IOC) is scheduled for FY05. EP-3E Aircraft are operated by Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron ONE (VQ-1) located at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington, and Fleet Air Reconnaissance TWO (VQ-2) located at Naval Station Rota, Spain. A multi-disciplinary aircrew of 24 highly skilled officer and enlisted personnel provide full mission capability for the reconnaissance platform. Patrol Squadron Thirty (VP-30) provides pipeline training for EP-3E Flight Engineers, Pilots and Naval Flight Officers (NFO).
