Initial ImplementationInitial Implementation
• UFP-QAPP is voluntary consensus policy– Once adopted by Federal department, agency, or program,
use is mandatory within that organization– Each participating Federal department, agency, or program
must develop its own implementation plan• DoD and EPA Office of Solid Waste and
Emergency Response have approved• EPA OSWER issued Directive on implementation• FFRRO and EPA Quality Staff issued joint
guidance on applicability of UFP-QAPP to all EPA Programs
• Office of the Under Secretary of Defense Memorandum of 11 Apr 06
• Joint EPA-DoD Implementation Memo under development
