                       TITLE 32--NATIONAL DEFENSE
 
        CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (CONTINUED)
 
PART 203_TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION (TAPP) IN DEFENSE 
 
Sec. 203.4  Major components of the TAPP process.

    (a) The Department of Defense will issue purchase orders to 
technical assistance, facilitation, training, and other public 
participation assistance providers subject to the purchase limit per 
order as resources continue to be available. If multiple purchase orders 
are needed to assist community members of a particular RAB or TRC, the 
combined sum of these purchase orders cannot exceed $100,000 or, during 
any one year, the lesser of $25,000 or 1 percent of the installation's 
total projected environmental restoration cost-to-complete. Note that 
these limitations refer to the maximum allowable technical assistance 
funding per RAB/TRC. Resources available within a given year may vary. 
These limitations apply unless a waiver is granted by the DoD Component 
Secretary or equivalent for the installation in question. The $100,000 
total and $25,000 annual limitations may be waived, as appropriate, to 
reflect the complexity of response action, the nature and extent of 
contamination at the installation, the level of activity at the 
installation, projected total needs as identified by the TAPP recipient, 
the size and diversity of the affected population, and the ability of 
the TAPP recipient to identify and raise funds from other sources.
    (b) Community members of the RAB/TRC will provide a description of 
the services requested (TAPP Project Description) and, if desired, the 
names of one or more proposed technical assistance providers to the DoD 
RAB Co-Chair, who will ensure the application is submitted to the 
installation commander or other designated authority and to the 
appropriate DoD contracting office. Technical assistance providers 
proposed by the community members of a RAB or TRC at each DoD 
installation that meets the minimum set of organizational qualifications 
guidelines provided by the Department of Defense in Sec. 203.12 of this 
part will be added to the governments list of bidders for the proposed 
procurement.
