TITLE 15--COMMERCE AND TRADE
CHAPTER 53--TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL
SUBCHAPTER I--CONTROL OF TOXIC SUBSTANCES
Sec. 2621. National defense waiver
The Administrator shall waive compliance with any provision of this
chapter upon a request and determination by the President that the
requested waiver is necessary in the interest of national defense. The
Administrator shall maintain a written record of the basis upon which
such waiver was granted and make such record available for in camera
examination when relevant in a judicial proceeding under this chapter.
Upon the issuance of such a waiver, the Administrator shall publish in
the Federal Register a notice that the waiver was granted for national
defense purposes, unless, upon the request of the President, the
Administrator determines to omit such publication because the
publication itself would be contrary to the interests of national
defense, in which event the Administrator shall submit notice thereof to
the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and the House of
Representatives.
