(a) Report.—Not later than one year after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit
to the congressional defense committees a report identifying
the installations of the Department of Defense that have
military housing owned or controlled by the Federal
Government that should be monitored for levels of radon at or
above the action level established by the Environmental
Protection Agency, including those installations evaluated in

of the DoD's Management of Health and Safety Hazards in
Government-Owned and Government-Controlled Military Family
Housing” (DODIG-2020-082).
(b) Testing Procedures and Standards.—The Secretary of
each military department shall establish procedures at
installations identified under subsection (a) under the
jurisdiction of the Secretary concerned for testing for radon
at military housing owned or controlled by the Federal
Government that are consistent with current national
consensus standards and are in compliance with applicable
Federal regulations in order to ensure radon levels at such
housing are below recommended levels established by the
Environmental Protection Agency, whether through—
(1) regular testing (a minimum of one time every five years
for all housing, and a minimum of one time every two years
for housing that is above recommended radon levels
established by the Environmental Protection Agency until
radon levels are reduced to at or below such levels) of such
housing; or
(2) the installation of monitoring equipment in such
housing.
(c) Notification Regarding Need for Mitigation.—If, as a
result of testing conducted pursuant to procedures
established under subsection (b), a unit of military housing
owned or controlled by the Federal Government requires radon
mitigation to ensure radon levels are below recommended
levels established by the Environmental Protection Agency,
the head of the installation providing the housing unit shall
submit to the Secretary of the military department concerned,
not later than seven days after the determination of the need
for radon mitigation, the mitigation plan for the housing
unit.
