 Dear Mr. Chairman:

      Subject: Used Oil Collection and Disposal Practices Followed
                by Federal Agencies (GAO/PLRD-83-12)

      This report is in response to your March 31, 1982, letter
 requesting that we review certain matters related to used oil col-
 lection and disposal practices of selected Federal agencies.
 Specifically, you asked that we

      --review actions taken by the Department of Defense (DOD) in
        response to recommendations in our 1977 report l/ on ways
        DOD could improve oil recycling;

      --compare waste oil recovery and disposal policies of several
        agencies, including agencies in the New York City area;

      --deternine what role the Environmental Protection Agency
        (EPA) had played in developing Government policy on used
        oil recovery; and

      --assess whether EPA or any other Federal agency had devel-
        oped an effective Government-wide policy to insure
        environmentally safe and conservation-oriented handling
        of used motor oil.

 On July 21, 1982, we gave members of your staff an interim brief-
 ing on our findings. The information you requested is summarized
 in this letter. The first subject listed above, DOD's actions on
 our 1977 report, is addressed in more detail in enclosure I, and
 the other three subjects are discussed in enclosure II.
