The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Environment must notify the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives within 48 hours after learning about a use or spill of aqueous film‑forming foam, whether concentrate or mixed, if it is greater than 10 gallons of concentrate or greater than 300 gallons of mixed foam. The notice must say the installation name, the date, the amount, type and concentration, the cause, and a short summary of what happened.
