We manage various government-owned facilities on behalf of the U.S. Government. At such facilities, environmental
compliance and remediation costs have historically been primarily the responsibility of the government and we relied (and
continue to rely with respect to past practices) upon government funding to pay such costs. While the government remains
responsible for capital and operating costs associated with environmental compliance, responsibility for fines and penalties
associated with environmental noncompliance is typically borne by either the government or the contractor, depending on the
contract and the relevant facts. Fines and penalties are unallowable costs under the contracts pursuant to which such facilities
are managed.
Most of the laws governing environmental matters include criminal provisions. If we were convicted of a criminal violation
of certain federal environmental statutes, including the Federal Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, the facility or facilities
involved in the violation would be placed by the EPA on the “Excluded Parties List” maintained by the Government Services
Administration. The listing would continue until the EPA concluded that the cause of the violation had been cured. Listed
facilities cannot be used in performing any U.S. Government contract awarded during any period of listing by the EPA.
Additional information regarding the effect of compliance with environmental protection requirements and the resolution of
environmental claims against Raytheon and its operations is contained in Item 1A “Risk Factors,” “Commitments and
Contingencies” within Item 7 and “Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
