                        the National Center for Credibility Assessment 
                        to the Director of the Defense Intelligence 
                        Agency may be limiting the ability of the 
                        Center to effectively serve the Federal 
                        customer base of the Center;
                            (ii) the failure of the Director of

                        Director as security executive for the Federal 
                        Government, to define in policy the term 
                        ``Executive Agent'' may be further limiting the

                        resources to carry out the critical Federal 
                        mission of the Center; and
                            (iii) the evolution of the Center from an

                        serving 27 departments and agencies and 
                        responsible for all Federal credibility 
                        assessment training, oversight, and research 
                        and development, has resulted in a convoluted 
                        oversight structure based on legacy reporting 
                        requirements.
                    (B) Report.--Not later than October 1, 2018, the

                        the Underground Facilities Analysis Center to 
                        the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency 
                        may be limiting the ability of the Center to

                        community customer base of the Center;
                            (ii) the failure of the Director of 
                        National Intelligence to define in policy the 
                        term ``Executive Agent'' may be further 
                        limiting the ability of the Center to receive 
                        sufficient resources to carry out the critical 
                        mission of the Center; and

                        community and Department of Defense with 
                        respect to underground facilities are not 
                        adequately being met given the scale and 
                        complexity of the problem set and the 
                        relatively small amount of funding currently 
                        received by the Center.

                        Defense with respect to underground facilities 
                        and the ability of the Center to meet such 
                        requirements;
                            (iii) the effectiveness of the current
