Presidential Determination on Classified Information Concerning the Air Force's Operating Location Near Groom Lake, Nevada Memorandum for the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency [and] the Secretary of the Air Force I find that it is in the paramount interest of the United States to exempt the United States Air Force's operating location near Groom Lake, Nevada
(the subject of litigation in Kasza v. Browner (D. Nev. CV-S-94-795-PMP) and
Frost v. Perry (D. Nev. CV-S-94-714-PMP)) from any applicable requirement for the disclosure to unauthorized persons of classified information concerning that operating location. Therefore, pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

This exemption shall be effective for the full one-year statutory period.
Nothing herein is intended to: (a) imply that in the absence of such a
Presidential exemption, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
or any other provision of law permits or requires disclosure of classified information to unauthorized persons; or (b) limit the applicability or enforcement of any requirement of law applicable to the Air Force's operating
location near Groom Lake, Nevada, except those provisions, if any, that would require the disclosure of classified information.
