             Note From the Director, Legislative Operations

    This committee print consists of the enrolled text and 
explanatory material for the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2016 (S. 1356; Public Law 114-92).
    On May 15, 2015, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 
1735, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2016, and on June 18, 2015, the Senate passed its version of 
H.R. 1735. The House and Senate convened a conference committee 
to reconcile the differences between the two versions of the 
bill. On September 29, 2015, Chairman William M. ``Mac'' 
Thornberry filed the conference report to accompany H.R. 1735 
(H. Rept. 114-270) in the House. On October 1, 2015, the House 
agreed to the conference report to accompany H.R. 1735, and on 
October 7, 2015, the conference report was agreed to in the 
Senate. On October 22, 2015, H.R. 1735 was vetoed by the 
President and was returned to the House (H. Doc. 114-70).
    On October 28, 2015, the House passed H.R. 1314, the 
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, and on October 30, 2015, the 
Senate also passed H.R. 1314. The President signed the bill on 
November 2, 2015. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (Public Law 
114-74) did not fund Budget Function 050 to the level requested 
by the President in the fiscal year 2016 budget submission, and 
as agreed to by the conferees and authorized in H.R. 1735.
    This Act (Public Law 114-92) and the material found in this 
committee print are the product of an agreement between the 
House Committee on Armed Services and the Senate Committee on 
Armed Services on H.R. 1735 to conform to the funding levels in 
the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. The agreement includes a 
reduction of $5.1 billion from the level authorized in H.R. 
1735. The resulting agreement was brought to the House floor in 
the form of an amendment to S. 1356. On November 5, 2015, the 
House suspended the rules and passed S. 1356, as amended, by a 
vote of 370-58 (Roll no. 618). On November 10, 2015, the Senate 
agreed to the House amendment to S. 1356 by a vote of 91-3 
(Record Vote Number: 301). The President signed the legislation 
on November 25, 2015, and it became Public Law 114-92.
    Because the agreed-upon language was brought to the House 
in the form of an amendment to S. 1356, there is no conference 
report and no formal ``joint explanatory statement of the 
conference committee'' for S. 1356. Instead, Chairman William 
M. ``Mac'' Thornberry and Chairman John McCain submitted a 
``Joint Explanatory Statement to Accompany S. 1356, the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016'' in 
the Congressional Record on November 5, 2015 (pages H7955-
H8123). The text of the joint explanatory statement is included 
in this committee print. Section 5 of S. 1356 specifies that 
this explanatory material shall have the same effect with 
respect to the implementation of this legislation as if it were 
a joint explanatory statement of a committee of conference.
    In this joint explanatory statement, the provisions of H.R. 
1735, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2016 as passed by the House of Representatives on May 15, 2015, 
are generally referred to as ``the House bill.'' The provisions 
of the Senate amendment to H.R. 1735, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 as passed by the Senate 
on June 18, 2015, are generally referred to as ``the Senate 
amendment.'' The final form of the agreements reached during 
negotiations between the House and the Senate are referred to 
as ``the agreement.'' References in this joint explanatory 
statement that ``the House recedes'' or ``the Senate recedes'' 
on a particular provision reflect the outcome from the 
conference agreement on H.R. 1735.
    The following pages are organized in the manner of a 
traditional conference report.

        and evolving threat environment that requires advanced 
        and effective technology to protect soldiers while 
        allowing the soldiers to effectively carry out the 
        mission of the Army;
          (2) the heavy tactical vehicle protection kits 
        program provides the Army with improved and necessary 
        ballistic protection for the heavy tactical vehicle 
        fleet;
          (3) a secure heavy tactical vehicle fleet provides 
        the Army with greater logistical tractability and 
        offers soldiers the necessary flexibility to tailor 
        armor levels based on threat levels and mission 
        requirements; and
          (4) as Congress provides for a modern and secure 
        Army, it is necessary to provide the appropriate 
        funding levels to meet the tactical wheeled vehicle 
        protection kits acquisition objectives of the Army.

        66; 127 Stat. 816; 10 U.S.C. 111 note) to ensure that 
        it achieves savings in the total funding available for 
        major Department of Defense headquarters activities by 
        fiscal year 2020 that are not less than 25 percent of 
        the baseline amount. The modified plan shall establish 
        a specific savings objective for each major 
        headquarters activity in each fiscal year through

        authorized to be appropriated by this Act for fiscal 
        year 2016 for major Department of Defense headquarters 
        activities, adjusted by a credit for reductions in such 
        headquarters activities that are documented, as of the 
        date that is 90 days after the date of the enactment of 
        this Act, as having been accomplished in earlier fiscal

        major Department of Defense headquarters activities 
        that credits reductions accomplished in earlier fiscal 
        years in accordance with the December 2013 directive, 
        and a specific baseline amount for each such 
        headquarters activity that credits such reductions.

                commissaries and exchanges and to optimize the 
                operations of the resale system and the

                exchanges.

                retailers or other private sector entities to 
                determine their willingness to provide eligible 
                beneficiaries with discount savings on grocery 
                products and certain household goods.
                  (D) The closure of commissaries in locations

          (1) Programs authorized.--After the reports required

        described in such subsections, the Secretary may, 
        notwithstanding any requirement in chapter 147 of title 
        10, United States Code, conduct one or more pilot 
        programs to evaluate the feasibility and advisability 
        of processes and methods for achieving budget-
        neutrality in the delivery of commissary and exchange 
        benefits and other applicable benchmarks in accordance 
        with this section. The Secretary may authorize any 
        commissary or exchange, or private sector entity, 
        participating in any such pilot program to establish 
        appropriate prices in response to market conditions and 
        customer demand, provided that the level of savings 
        required by paragraph (3) is maintained.
          (2) Benchmarks.--If the Secretary conducts a pilot 
        program under this subsection, the Secretary shall 
        establish specific, measurable benchmarks for measuring 
        success in the provision of high quality grocery goods 
        and products, discount savings to patrons, and high 
        levels of customer satisfaction while achieving budget-
        neutrality in the delivery of commissary and exchange 
        benefits under the pilot program.
          (3) Required savings to patrons.--The Secretary shall 
        ensure that the level of savings to commissary and 
        exchange patrons under any pilot program under this 
        subsection is not less than the level of savings to 
        such patrons before the implementation of such pilot 
        program, as follows:
                  (A) Before commencing a pilot program the 
                Secretary shall establish a baseline of savings 
                to patrons achieved for each commissary or 
                exchange to participate in such pilot program 
                by comparing prices charged by such commissary 
                or exchange for a representative market basket 
                of goods to prices charged by local competitors 
                for the same market basket of goods.
                  (B) After commencement of such pilot program, 
                the Secretary shall ensure that each commissary 
                or exchange, or private sector entity, 
                participating in such pilot program conducts 
                market-basket price comparisons not less than 
                once a month and adjusts pricing as necessary 
                to ensure that pricing achieves savings to 
                patrons under such pilot program that are 
                reasonably consistent with the baseline savings 
                for the commissary or exchange established 
                pursuant to subparagraph (A).
          (4) Duration of authority.--The authority of the 
        Secretary to carry out a pilot program under this 
        subsection shall expire on the date that is five years 
        after the date of the enactment of this Act. However, 
        if a pilot program achieves budget-neutrality in the 
        delivery of commissary and exchange benefits and other 
        applicable benchmarks, as measured using the benchmarks 
        required by paragraph (2), the Secretary may continue 
        the pilot program for an additional period of up to 
        five years.
          (5) Reports.--

        needed to eliminate a documented deficiency that has

        support services that, as determined in writing by the 
        Secretary of Defense, are urgently needed to eliminate 
        a documented deficiency that impacts an ongoing or

        services.

        means a deliberate action to alter, disrupt, deceive, 
        degrade, or destroy computer systems or networks or the 
        information or programs resident in or transiting these

        that such official determines in writing would 
        unnecessarily impede the rapid acquisition and

        support services. In a case in which the needed 
        supplies and associated support services cannot be 
        acquired without an extensive delay, the senior 
        official shall require that an interim solution be 
        implemented and deployed using the procedures developed 
        under this section to minimize adverse consequences 
        resulting from the urgent need.
          ``(3) Use of funds.--(A) In any fiscal year in which 
        the Secretary makes a determination described in

SEC. 804. MIDDLE TIER OF ACQUISITION FOR RAPID PROTOTYPING AND RAPID 
                    FIELDING.

  (a) Guidance Required.--Not later than 180 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, in 
consultation with the Comptroller of the Department of Defense 
and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, shall 
establish guidance for a ``middle tier'' of acquisition 
programs that are intended to be completed in a period of two 
to five years.
  (b) Acquisition Pathways.--The guidance required by 
subsection (a) shall cover the following two acquisition 
pathways:
          (1) Rapid prototyping.--The rapid prototyping pathway 
        shall provide for the use of innovative technologies to 
        rapidly develop fieldable prototypes to demonstrate new 
        capabilities and meet emerging military needs. The 
        objective of an acquisition program under this pathway 
        shall be to field a prototype that can be demonstrated 
        in an operational environment and provide for a 
        residual operational capability within five years of 
        the development of an approved requirement.
          (2) Rapid fielding.--The rapid fielding pathway shall 
        provide for the use of proven technologies to field 
        production quantities of new or upgraded systems with 
        minimal development required. The objective of an 
        acquisition program under this pathway shall be to 
        begin production within six months and complete 
        fielding within five years of the development of an 
        approved requirement.
  (c) Expedited Process.--
          (1) In general.--The guidance required by subsection 
        (a) shall provide for a streamlined and coordinated 
        requirements, budget, and acquisition process that 
        results in the development of an approved requirement 
        for each program in a period of not more than six 
        months from the time that the process is initiated. 
        Programs that are subject to the guidance shall not be 
        subject to the Joint Capabilities Integration and 
        Development System Manual and Department of Defense 
        Directive 5000.01, except to the extent specifically 
        provided in the guidance.
          (2) Rapid prototyping.--With respect to the rapid 
        prototyping pathway, the guidance shall include--
                  (A) a merit-based process for the 
                consideration of innovative technologies and 
                new capabilities to meet needs communicated by 
                the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the combatant 
                commanders;
                  (B) a process for developing and implementing 
                acquisition and funding strategies for the 
                program;
                  (C) a process for cost-sharing with the 
                military departments on rapid prototype 
                projects, to ensure an appropriate commitment 
                to the success of such projects;
                  (D) a process for demonstrating and 
                evaluating the performance of fieldable 
                prototypes developed pursuant to the program in 
                an operational environment; and
                  (E) a process for transitioning successful 
                prototypes to new or existing acquisition 
                programs for production and fielding under the 
                rapid fielding pathway or the traditional 
                acquisition system.
          (3) Rapid fielding.--With respect to the rapid 
        fielding pathway, the guidance shall include--
                  (A) a merit-based process for the 
                consideration of existing products and proven 
                technologies to meet needs communicated by the 
                Joint Chiefs of Staff and the combatant 
                commanders;
                  (B) a process for demonstrating performance 
                and evaluating for current operational purposes 
                the proposed products and technologies;
                  (C) a process for developing and implementing 
                acquisition and funding strategies for the 
                program; and
                  (D) a process for considering lifecycle costs 
                and addressing issues of logistics support and 
                system interoperability.
          (4) Streamlined procedures.--The guidance for the 
        programs may provide for any of the following 
        streamlined procedures:

Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new 
subsection:
  ``(d)(1) The milestone decision authority for a major defense 
acquisition program reaching Milestone A after October 1, 2016, 
shall be the service acquisition executive of the military 
department that is managing the program, unless the Secretary 
of Defense designates, under paragraph (2), another official to 
serve as the milestone decision authority.
  ``(2) The Secretary of Defense may designate an alternate 
milestone decision authority for a program with respect to 
which--
          ``(A) the Secretary determines that the program is 
        addressing a joint requirement;
          ``(B) the Secretary determines that the program is 
        best managed by a Defense Agency;
          ``(C) the program has incurred a unit cost increase 
        greater than the significant cost threshold or critical 
        cost threshold under section 2433 of this title;
          ``(D) the program is critical to a major interagency 
        requirement or technology development effort, or has 
        significant international partner involvement; or
          ``(E) the Secretary determines that an alternate 
        official serving as the milestone decision authority 
        will best provide for the program to achieve desired 
        cost, schedule, and performance outcomes.
  ``(3)(A) After designating an alternate milestone decision 
authority under paragraph (2) for a program, the Secretary of 
Defense may revert the position of milestone decision authority 
for the program back to the service acquisition executive upon 
request of the Secretary of the military department concerned. 
A decision on the request shall be made within 180 days after 
receipt of the request from the Secretary of the military 
department concerned.
  ``(B) If the Secretary of Defense denies the request for 
reversion of the milestone decision authority back to the 
service acquisition executive, the Secretary shall report to 
the congressional defense committees on the basis of the 
Secretary's decision that an alternate official serving as 
milestone decision authority will best provide for the program 
to achieve desired cost, schedule, and performance outcomes. No 
such reversion is authorized after a program has incurred a 
unit cost increase greater than the significant cost threshold 
or critical cost threshold under section 2433 of this title, 
except in exceptional circumstances.
  ``(4)(A) For each major defense acquisition program, the 
Secretary of the military department concerned and the Chief of 
the armed force concerned shall, in each Selected Acquisition 
Report required under section 2432 of this title, certify that 
program requirements are stable and funding is adequate to meet 
cost, schedule, and performance objectives for the program and 
identify and report to the congressional defense committees on 
any increased risk to the program since the last report.
  ``(B) The Secretary of Defense shall review the acquisition 
oversight process for major defense acquisition programs and 
shall limit outside requirements for documentation to an 
absolute minimum on those programs where the service 
acquisition executive of the military department that is 
managing the program is the milestone decision authority and 
ensure that any policies, procedures, and activities related to 
oversight efforts conducted outside of the military departments 
with regard to major defense acquisition programs shall be 
implemented in a manner that does not unnecessarily increase 
program costs or impede program schedules.''.
  (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 133(b)(5) of such title is 
amended by inserting before the period at the end the 
following: ``, except that the Under Secretary shall exercise 
advisory authority, subject to the authority, direction, and 
control of the Secretary of Defense, over service acquisition 
programs for which the service acquisition executive is the 
milestone decision authority''.
  (c) Implementation.--
          (1) Implementation plan.--Not later than 180 days 
        after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
        Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional 
        defense committees a plan for implementing subsection 
        (d) of section 2430 of title 10, United States Code, as 
        added by subsection (a) of this section.
          (2) Guidance.--The Deputy Chief Management Officer of 
        the Department of Defense, in consultation with the

        October 1, 2016, the acquisition policy, guidance, and 
        practices of the Department of Defense conform to the 
        requirements of subsection (d) of section 2430 of title 
        10, United States Code, as added by subsection (a) of 
        this section. The guidance shall be designed to ensure 
        a streamlined decisionmaking and approval process and 
        to minimize any information requests, consistent with 
        the requirement of paragraph (4)(A) of such subsection 
        (d).

SEC. 828. PENALTY FOR COST OVERRUNS.

  (a) In General.--For each fiscal year beginning with fiscal 
year 2015, the Secretary of each military department shall pay 
a penalty for cost overruns on the covered major defense 
acquisition programs of the military department.
  (b) Calculation of Penalty.--For the purposes of this 
section:
          (1) The amount of the cost overrun or underrun on any 
        major defense acquisition program or subprogram in a 
        fiscal year is the difference between the current 
        program acquisition unit cost for the program or 
        subprogram and the program acquisition unit cost for 
        the program as shown in the original Baseline Estimate 
        for the program or subprogram, multiplied by the 
        quantity of items to be purchased under the program or 
        subprogram, as reported in the final Selected 
        Acquisition Report for the fiscal year in accordance 
        with section 2432 of title 10, United States Code.
          (2) Cost overruns or underruns for covered major 
        defense acquisition programs that are joint programs of 
        more than one military department shall be allocated 
        among the military departments in percentages 
        determined by the Under Secretary of Defense for 
        Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
          (3) The cumulative amount of cost overruns for a 
        military department in a fiscal year is the sum of the 
        cost overruns and cost underruns for all covered major 
        defense acquisition programs of the department in the 
        fiscal year (including cost overruns or underruns 
        allocated to the military department in accordance with 
        paragraph (2)).
          (4) The cost overrun penalty for a military 
        department in a fiscal year is three percent of the 
        cumulative amount of cost overruns of the military 
        department in the fiscal year, as determined pursuant 
        to paragraph (3), except that the cost overrun penalty 
        may not be a negative amount.
  (c) Transfer of Funds.--
          (1) Reduction of research, development, test, and 
        evaluation accounts.--Not later than 60 days after the 
        end of each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 
        2015, the Secretary of each military department shall 
        reduce each research, development, test, and evaluation 
        account of the military department by the percentage 
        determined under paragraph (2), and remit such amount 
        to the Secretary of Defense.
          (2) Determination of amount.--The percentage 
        reduction to research, development, test, and 
        evaluation accounts of a military department referred 
        to in paragraph (1) is the percentage reduction to such 
        accounts necessary to equal the cost overrun penalty 
        for the fiscal year for such department determined 
        pursuant to subsection (b)(4).
          (3) Crediting of funds.--Any amount remitted under 
        paragraph (1) shall be credited to the Rapid 
        Prototyping Fund established pursuant to section 804 of 
        this Act.
  (d) Covered Programs.--A major defense acquisition program is 
covered under this section if the original Baseline Estimate 
was established for such program under paragraph (1) or (2) of 
section 2435(d) of title 10, United States Code, on or after

        Defense and the contractor in assessing and responding 
        to data requests to support a conversion to 
        noncommercial acquisition procedures.
          (3) Changes in purchase quantities.
          (4) Costs associated with potential procurement

                and
                  (B) in paragraph (2), by striking 
                ``$50,000,000'' and inserting ``$100,000,000''.

  (a) Prohibition on Performance of Non-defense Audits by 
DCAA.--
          (1) In general.--Effective on the date of the 
        enactment of this Act, the Defense Contract Audit 
        Agency may not provide audit support for non-Defense 
        Agencies unless the Secretary of Defense certifies that 
        the backlog for incurred cost audits is less than 18 
        months of incurred cost inventory.
          (2) Adjustment in funding for reimbursements from 
        non-defense agencies.--The amount appropriated and 
        otherwise available to the Defense Contract Audit 
        Agency for a fiscal year beginning after September 30, 
        2016, shall be reduced by an amount equivalent to any 
        reimbursements received by the Agency from non-Defense 
        Agencies for audit support provided.
  (b) Amendments to Defense Contract Audit Agency Annual 
Report.--Section 2313a(a) of title 10, United States Code, is

                recovered costs both as a total number and as a 
                percentage of questioned costs; and'';
          (2) in paragraph (3), by striking ``; and'' and 
        inserting a semicolon;
          (3) by redesignating paragraph (4) as paragraph (5); 
        and
          (4) by inserting after paragraph (3) the following 
        new paragraph:

  (c) Review of Acquisition Oversight and Audits.--
          (1) Review required.--The Secretary of Defense shall 
        review the oversight and audit structure of the 
        Department of Defense with the goals of--
                  (A) enhancing the productivity of oversight 
                and program and contract auditing to avoid 
                duplicative audits; and
                  (B) streamlining of oversight reviews.
          (2) Recommendations.--The Secretary shall ensure 
        streamlined oversight reviews and avoidance of 
        duplicative audits and make recommendations in the 
        report required under paragraph (3) for any necessary 
        changes in law.
          (3) Report.--

                the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
                Defense shall submit to the congressional 
                defense committees a report on actions taken to 
                avoid duplicative audits and streamline 
                oversight reviews.

                        oversight reviews based on the review 
                        conducted under paragraph (1).
                          (ii) A comparison of commercial 
                        industry accounting practices, 
                        including requirements under the 
                        Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Public Law 
                        107-204; 15 U.S.C. 7201 et seq.), with 
                        the cost accounting standards 
                        prescribed under chapter 15 of title 
                        41, United States Code, to determine if 
                        some portions of cost accounting 
                        standards compliance can be met through 
                        such practices or requirements.
                          (iii) A description of standards of 
                        materiality used by the Defense 
                        Contract Audit Agency and the Inspector 
                        General of the Department of Defense 
                        for defense contract audits.

                        range of delays in contract awards due 
                        to the time necessary for the Defense 
                        Contract Audit Agency to complete pre-
                        award audits.
                          (v) The total costs of sustained or 
                        recovered costs both as a total number 
                        and as a percentage of questioned 
                        costs.
  (d) Incurred Cost Inventory Defined.--In this section, the 
term ``incurred cost inventory'' means the level of contractor

SEC. 894. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EVALUATION METHOD FOR PROCUREMENT OF 
                    AUDIT OR AUDIT READINESS SERVICES.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) Given the size, scope, and complexity of the 
        Department of Defense, the statutory deadline to 
        establish and maintain auditable financial statements, 
        starting with the fiscal year 2018 financial statement, 
        is one of the more challenging management tasks that 
        has ever faced the Department.
          (2) As the military services have never received a 
        clean opinion on their consolidated financial 
        statements and only recently begun auditing portions of 
        their financial statements, the audits of military 
        service financial statements will also be a complex 
        challenge for companies selected to provide audit 
        services.
          (3) The acquisition of services by the Department 
        abides by many rules and parameters, one of which is 
        the lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA) 
        evaluation method. LPTA is generally appropriate for 
        commercial or noncomplex services or supplies where the 
        requirement is clearly definable and the risk of 
        unsuccessful contract performance is minimal.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, 
before using the lowest price, technically acceptable 
evaluation method for the procurement of audit or audit 
readiness services, the Secretary of Defense should establish 
the values and metrics for evaluating companies offering audit 
services, including financial management and audit expertise 
and experience, personnel qualifications and certifications, 
past performance, technology, tools, and size.

SEC. 895. MITIGATING POTENTIAL UNFAIR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OF 
                    TECHNICAL ADVISORS TO ACQUISITION PROGRAMS.

  Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
this Act, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics shall review, and as necessary revise 
or issue, policy guidance pertaining to the identification, 
mitigation, and prevention of potential unfair competitive 
advantage conferred to technical advisors to acquisition 
programs.

SEC. 896. SURVEY ON THE COSTS OF REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.

  (a) Survey.--The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a survey 
of contractors with the highest level of reimbursements for 
cost type contracts with the Department of Defense during 
fiscal year 2014 to estimate industry's cost of regulatory 
compliance (as a percentage of total costs) with Government-
unique acquisition regulations and requirements in the 
categories of quality assurance, accounting and financial 
management, contracting and purchasing, program management, 
engineering, logistics, material management, property 
administration, and other unique requirements not imposed on 
contracts for commercial items.
  (b) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to 
the congressional defense committees a report on the findings 
of the survey conducted under subsection (a). The data received 
as a result of the survey and included in the report shall be 
aggregated to protect against the public release of proprietary 
information.

SEC. 897. TREATMENT OF INTERAGENCY AND STATE AND LOCAL PURCHASES WHEN 
                    THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ACTS AS CONTRACT 
                    INTERMEDIARY FOR THE GENERAL SERVICES 
                    ADMINISTRATION.

  Contracts executed by the Department of Defense as a result 
of the transfer of contracts from the General Services 
Administration or for which the Department serves as an item 
manager for products on behalf of the General Services 
Administration shall not be subject to requirements under 
chapter 148 of title 10, United States Code, to the extent such 
contracts are for purchases of products by other Federal 
agencies or State or local governments.

SEC. 898. COMPETITION FOR RELIGIOUS SERVICES CONTRACTS.

  The Department of Defense may not preclude a non-profit 
organization from competing for a contract for religious 
related services on a United States military installation.

SEC. 899. PILOT PROGRAM REGARDING RISK-BASED CONTRACTING FOR SMALLER 
                    CONTRACT ACTIONS UNDER THE TRUTH IN NEGOTIATIONS 
                    ACT.

  (a) Pilot Program Authorized.--The Secretary of Defense may 
conduct a pilot program to demonstrate the efficacy of using 
risk-based techniques in requiring submission of data on a 
sampling basis for purposes of section 2306a of title 10, 
United States Code (popularly known as the ``Truth in 
Negotiations Act'').
  (b) Increase in Thresholds.--For purposes of a pilot program 
under subsection (a), $5,000,000 shall be the threshold 
applicable to requirements under paragraph (1) of section 
2306a(a) of such title, as follows:
          (1) The requirement under subparagraph (A) of such 
        paragraph to submit cost or pricing data for a prime 
        contract entered into during the pilot program period.
          (2) The requirement under subparagraph (B) of such 
        paragraph to submit cost or pricing data for the change 
        or modification to a prime contract made during the 
        pilot program period.
          (3) The requirement under subparagraph (C) of such 
        paragraph to submit cost or pricing data for a 
        subcontract entered into during the pilot program 
        period.
          (4) The requirement under subparagraph (D) of such 
        paragraph to submit cost or pricing data for the change 
        or modification to a subcontract made during the pilot 
        program period.
  (c) Risk-based Contracting.--
          (1) Authority to require submission of cost or 
        pricing data on below-threshold contracts.--Subject to 
        paragraph (4), when certified cost or pricing data are 
        not required to be submitted pursuant to subsection (b) 
        for a contract or subcontract entered into or modified 
        during the pilot program period, such data may 
        nevertheless be required to be submitted by the head of 
        the procuring activity, if the head of the procuring 
        activity--
                  (A) determines that such data are necessary 
                for the evaluation by the agency of the 
                reasonableness of the price of the contract, 
                subcontract, or modification of a contract or 
                subcontract; or
                  (B) requires the submission of such data in 
                accordance with a risk-based contracting 
                approach established pursuant to paragraph (3).
          (2) Written determination required.--In any case in 
        which the head of the procuring activity requires 
        certified cost or pricing data to be submitted under 
        paragraph (1)(A), the head of the procuring activity 
        shall justify in writing the reason for such 
        requirement.
          (3) Risk-based contracting.--The head of an agency 
        shall establish a risk-based sampling approach under 
        which the submission of certified cost or pricing data 
        may be required for a risk-based sample of contracts, 
        the price of which is expected to exceed $750,000 but 
        not $5,000,000. The authority to require certified cost 
        or pricing data under this paragraph shall not apply to 
        any contract of an offeror that has not been awarded, 
        for at least the one-year period preceding the issuance 
        of a solicitation for the contract, any other contract 
        in excess of $5,000,000 under which the offeror was 
        required to submit certified cost or pricing data under 
        section 2306a of title 10, United States Code.
          (4) Exception.--The head of the procuring activity 
        may not require certified cost or pricing data to be 
        submitted under this subsection for any contract or 
        subcontract, or modification of a contract or 
        subcontract, covered by the exceptions in subparagraph 
        (A) or (B) of section 2306a(b)(1) of title 10, United 
        States Code.
          (5) Delegation of authority prohibited.--The head of 
        a procuring activity may not delegate functions under 
        this subsection.
  (d) Reports.--Not later than January 1, 2017, and January 1, 
2019, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
congressional defense committees a report on activities 
undertaken under this section.
  (e) Definitions.--In this section:
          (1) Head of an agency.--The term ``head of an 
        agency'' has the meaning given the term in section 2302 
        of title 10, United States Code.
          (2) Pilot program period.--The term ``pilot program 
        period'' means the period beginning on October 1, 2016, 
        and ending on September 30, 2019.

      TITLE IX--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT

Sec. 901. Update of statutory specification of functions of the Chairman 
          of the Joint Chiefs of Staff relating to joint force 
          development activities.
Sec. 902. Sense of Congress on the United States Marine Corps.

SEC. 901. UPDATE OF STATUTORY SPECIFICATION OF FUNCTIONS OF THE 
                    CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF RELATING TO 
                    JOINT FORCE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES.

  Section 153(a)(5) of title 10, United States Code, is amended 
by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
          ``(F) Advising the Secretary on development of joint 
        command, control, communications, and cyber capability, 
        including integration and interoperability of such 
        capability, through requirements, integrated 
        architectures, data standards, and assessments.''.

SEC. 902. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) As senior United States statesman Dr. Henry 
        Kissinger wrote in testimony submitted to the Committee 
        on Armed Services of the Senate on January 29, 2015, 
        ``The United States has not faced a more diverse and 
        complex array of crises since the end of the Second 
        World War.''.
          (2) The rise of non-state forces and near peer 
        competitors has introduced destabilizing pressures 
        around the globe.
          (3) Advances in information and weapons technology 
        have reduced the time available for the United States 
        to prepare for and respond to crises against both known 
        and unknown threats.
          (4) The importance of the maritime domain cannot be 
        overstated. As acknowledged in the March 2015 Navy, 
        Marine Corps, and Coast Guard maritime strategy, ``A 
        Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower: 
        Forward, Engaged, Ready'': ``Oceans are the lifeblood 
        of the interconnected global community. . . 90 percent 
        of trade by volume travels across the oceans. 
        Approximately 70 percent of the world's population 
        lives within 100 miles of the coastline.''.
          (5) The United States must be prepared to rapidly 
        respond to crises around the world regardless of the 
        nation's fiscal health.
          (6) In this global security environment, it is 
        critical that the nation possess a maritime force whose 
        mission and ethos is readiness--a fight tonight force, 
        forward deployed, that can respond immediately to 
        emergent crises across the full range of military 
        operations around the globe either from the sea or home 
        station.
          (7) The need for such a force was recognized by the 
        82nd Congress during the Korean War, when it mandated a 
        core mission for the nation's leanest force--the Marine 
        Corps--to be most ready when the nation is least ready.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the Marine Corps, within the Department of the 
        Navy, remain the Nation's expeditionary, crisis 
        response force;
          (2) the need for such a force with such a capability 
        has never been greater; and
          (3) accordingly, in recognition of this need and the 
        wisdom of the 82nd Congress, the 114th Congress 
        reaffirms section 5063 of title 10, United States Code, 
        which states that the Marine Corps--
                  (A) shall--
                          (i) be organized to include not less 
                        than three combat divisions and three 
                        air wings, and such other land combat, 
                        aviation, and other services as may be 
                        organic therein;
                          (ii) be organized, trained, and 
                        equipped to provide fleet marine forces 
                        of combined arms, together with 
                        supporting air components, for service 
                        with the fleet in the seizure or 
                        defense of advanced naval bases and for 
                        the conduct of such land operations as 
                        may be essential to the prosecution of 
                        a naval campaign; and
                          (iii) provide detachments and 
                        organizations for service on armed 
                        vessels of the Navy, provide security 
                        detachments for the protection of naval 
                        property at naval stations and bases, 
                        and perform such other duties as the 
                        President may direct;
                but these additional duties may not detract 
                from nor interfere with the operations for 
                which the Marine Corps is primarily organized;
                  (B) shall develop, in coordination with the 
                Army and the Air Force, those phases of 
                amphibious operations that pertain to the 
                tactics, techniques, and equipment used by 
                landing forces; and
                  (C) is responsible, in accordance with the 
                integrated joint mobilization plans, for the 
                expansion of peacetime components of the Marine 
                Corps to meet the needs of war.

        of authorizations made available to the Department of 
        Defense in this division for fiscal year 2016 between 
        any such authorizations for that fiscal year (or any 
        subdivisions thereof). Amounts of authorizations so 
        transferred shall be merged with and be available for 
        the same purposes as the authorization to which 
        transferred.
          (2) Limitation.--Except as provided in paragraph (3), 
        the total amount of authorizations that the Secretary 
        may transfer under the authority of this section may 
        not exceed $4,500,000,000.
          (3) Exception for transfers between military 
        personnel authorizations.--A transfer of funds between 
        military personnel authorizations under title IV shall 
        not be counted toward the dollar limitation in 
        paragraph (2).
  (b) Limitations.--The authority provided by subsection (a) to 
transfer authorizations--
          (1) may only be used to provide authority for items 
        that have a higher priority than the items from which 
        authority is transferred; and
          (2) may not be used to provide authority for an item 
        that has been denied authorization by Congress.
  (c) Effect on Authorization Amounts.--A transfer made from 
one account to another under the authority of this section 
shall be deemed to increase the amount authorized for the

        non-strategic, across-the-board budget cuts--remains an 
        unreasonable and inadequate budgeting tool to address 
        the deficits and debt of the Federal Government;
          (2) budget caps imposed by the Budget Control Act of 
        2011 (Public Law 112-25) impose unacceptable 
        limitations on the budget and increase risk to the 
        national security of the United States; and
          (3) the budget caps imposed by the Budget Control Act 
        of 2011 must be modified or eliminated through a 
        bipartisan legislative agreement.

SEC. 1013. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CENTRAL AMERICA.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) The stability and security of Central American 
        nations have a direct impact on the stability and 
        security of the United States.
          (2) Over the past decade, increased stability and 
        security in the Republic of Colombia has displaced 
        illicit trafficking to Central America, bringing with 
        it increased violence and instability.
          (3) According to the Global Study on Homicide 2013 of 
        the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, four of 
        the top five countries with the highest homicide rates 
        in the world were Central American nations, including 
        Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
          (4) In 2014, approximately 65,000 unaccompanied alien 
        children from Central America entered the United States 
        through its southwest border.
          (5) In November 2014, Guatemala, Honduras, and El 
        Salvador announced a Plan for the Alliance for 
        Prosperity of the Northern Triangle, which is a 
        comprehensive approach to address the ongoing violence 
        and instability facing these three nations by 
        stimulating economic opportunities, improving public 
        safety and rule of law, and strengthening institutions 
        to increase trust in the state.
          (6) The United States Government is supportive of the 
        Alliance for Prosperity, and President's strategy for 
        support includes $1,000,000,000 focused on promoting 
        prosperity and regional economic integration, enhancing 
        security, and promoting improved governance.
          (7) The Department of Defense continues to build the 
        capacity of our partners in the region to address their 
        security challenges and confront threats of mutual 
        concern.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the United States should, to the extent 
        practicable, prioritize efforts to address the 
        threatening levels of violence, instability, illicit 
        trafficking, and transnational organized crime that 
        challenge the sovereignty of Central American nations 
        and the security of the United States; and
          (2) in order to address such issues, the Department 
        of Defense, to the extent practicable, should--
                  (A) increase its operations, as the lead 
                agency of the United States Government, to 
                detect and monitor aerial and maritime illicit 
                trafficking into the United States;
                  (B) increase its efforts to support aerial 
                and maritime illicit trafficking interdiction 
                operations;
                  (C) increase its operations to build the 
                capacity of partner nations in Central America 
                to confront their own security challenges;
                  (D) support interagency programs and 
                activities in Central America addressing 
                instability, including development, education, 
                economic, political, and security challenges; 
                and
                  (E) promote observance of and respect for 
                human rights and fundamental freedoms and 
                respect for civilian control of the military.

                civil service for a period at least equal to 
                three times the length of the assignment, 
                unless the employee is sooner involuntarily 
                separated from the service of the employee's 
                agency; and

                    ACTIVITIES.

  It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) Iran continues to conduct a range of malign 
        military and intelligence activities in the region and 
        around the globe which constitute a significant threat

        interests of the United States and our allies and 
        partners;
          (2) Iran continues funding its conventional and 
        unconventional military development, including its 
        ballistic missile development programs, and its 
        acquisition of destabilizing conventional weapons,

        and build the collective capacity of our allies and 
        partners in the region to address threats;
          (3) the sale of advanced weaponry, including advance 
        air defense systems, to the Government of Iran 
        increases the risk of further destabilizing the region;

        sponsorship of terrorism, and the violation of the 
        human rights of the Iranian people justify continued 
        pressure by the United States; and

        region's security architecture, build our partners' 
        capacity to respond to external aggression, increase 
        the interoperability of our respective military forces, 
        and continue to better integrate their advanced 
        capabilities.

                    FEDERATION WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE INF 
                    TREATY.

  (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the development and deployment of a nuclear 
        ground-launched cruise missile by the Russian 
        Federation is in violation of the INF Treaty, and the 
        Russian Federation should return to compliance with the 
        INF Treaty;
          (2) the increasing role for nuclear weapons in the 
        Russian Federation's military strategy, and the 
        continuing violation of the INF Treaty threatens the 
        viability of the INF Treaty;
          (3) efforts taken by the President to compel the 
        Russian Federation to return to compliance with the INF 
        Treaty, including by developing military and 
        nonmilitary options, must be persistent and are in the 
        best interests of the United States, but cannot be 
        open-ended;
          (4) not only should the Russian Federation end its 
        cheating with respect to the INF Treaty, but also its 
        illegal occupation of the sovereign territory of 
        another nation, its plans for stationing nuclear 
        weapons on that nation's territory, and its cheating 
        and violation of as many as eight of its 12 arms 
        control obligations and agreements; and
          (5) there are several United States military 
        requirements that would be addressed by the development 
        and deployment of systems currently prohibited by the 
        INF Treaty.
  (b) Notifications of Russian Federation Violations of INF 
Treaty.--
          (1) In general.--The President shall submit to the 
        appropriate congressional committees a notification 
        of--

                flight-tested, deployed, or possesses a 
                military system that has achieved an initial 
                operating capability that is either a ground-
                launched ballistic missile or ground-launched 
                cruise missile with a flight-tested range of 
                between 500 and 5,500 kilometers; and
                  (B) whether the Russian Federation has begun

                and verification measures necessary to achieve 
                high confidence that any missile described in

        measures necessary to achieve high confidence that any 
        ground-launched ballistic missile or ground-launched 
        cruise missile with a flight-tested range of between 
        500 and 5,500 kilometers will be eliminated, the 
        Secretary of Defense shall, not later than 120 days 
        after that date, submit to the appropriate

                States.

                enhance the forces of the United States or 
                allies of the United States, whether or not 
                such capabilities are in compliance with the 
                INF Treaty and including capabilities that may 
                be acquired from allies of the United States.
                  (C) Active defenses to defend against

Defense shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees a copy of the Department of Defense policy regarding

SEC. 1660. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE NUCLEAR FORCE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 
                    OF THE AIR FORCE.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
          (1) On February 6, 2014, Air Force Global Strike 
        Command initiated a force improvement program for the 
        intercontinental ballistic missile force designed to 
        improve mission effectiveness, strengthen culture and 
        morale, and identify areas in need of investment by 
        soliciting input from airmen performing 
        intercontinental ballistic missile operations.
          (2) The intercontinental ballistic missile force 
        improvement program generated more than 300 
        recommendations to strengthen intercontinental 
        ballistic missile operations and served as a model for 
        subsequent force improvement programs in other mission 
        areas, such as bomber operations and sustainment.
          (3) On May 28, 2014, as part of the nuclear force 
        improvement program, the Air Force announced it would 
        make immediate improvements in the nuclear mission of 
        the Air Force, including enhancing career opportunities 
        for airmen in the nuclear career field, ensuring 
        training activities focused on performing the mission 
        in the field, reforming the personnel reliability 
        program, establishing special pay rates for positions 
        in the nuclear career field, and creating a new service 
        medal for nuclear deterrence operations.
          (4) Chief of Staff of the Air Force Mark Welsh has 
        said that, as part of the nuclear force improvement 
        program, the Air Force will increase nuclear-manning 
        levels and strengthen professional development for the 
        members of the Air Force supporting the nuclear mission 
        of the Air Force in order ``to address shortfalls and 
        offer our airmen more stable work schedule and better 
        quality of life''.
          (5) Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James, in 
        recognition of the importance of the nuclear mission of 
        the Air Force, proposed elevating the grade of the 
        commander of the Air Force Global Strike Command from 
        lieutenant general to general, and on March 30, 2015, 
        the Senate confirmed a general as commander of that 
        command.
          (6) The Air Force redirected more than $160,000,000 
        in fiscal year 2014 to alleviate urgent, near-term 
        shortfalls within the nuclear mission of the Air Force 
        as part of the nuclear force improvement program.
          (7) The Air Force plans to spend more than 
        $200,000,000 on the nuclear force improvement program 
        in fiscal year 2015, and requested more than 
        $130,000,000 for the program for fiscal year 2016.
          (8) Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said on November 
        14, 2014, that ``[t]he nuclear mission plays a critical 
        role in ensuring the Nation's safety. No other 
        enterprise we have is more important''.
          (9) Secretary Hagel also said that the budget for the 
        nuclear mission of the Air Force should increase by 10 
        percent over a five-year period.
          (10) Section 1652 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
        ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for 
        Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3654; 
        10 U.S.C. 491 note) declares it the policy of the 
        United States ``to ensure that the members of the Armed 
        Forces who operate the nuclear deterrent of the United 
        States have the training, resources, and national 
        support required to execute the critical national 
        security mission of the members''.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) the nuclear mission of the Air Force should be a 
        top priority for the Department of the Air Force and 
        for Congress;
          (2) the members of the Air Force who operate and 
        maintain the nuclear deterrent of the United States 
        perform work that is vital to the security of the 
        United States;
          (3) the nuclear force improvement program of the Air 
        Force has made significant near-term improvements for 
        the members of the Air Force in the nuclear career 
        field of the Air Force;
          (4) Congress should support long-term investments in 
        the Air Force nuclear enterprise that sustain the 
        progress made under the nuclear force improvement 
        program;
          (5) the Air Force should--
                  (A) regularly inform Congress on the progress 
                being made under the nuclear force improvement 
                program and its efforts to strengthen the 
                nuclear enterprise; and
                  (B) make Congress aware of any additional 
                actions that should be taken to optimize 
                performance of the nuclear mission of the Air 
                Force and maximize the strength of the 
                strategic deterrent of the United States; and
          (6) future budgets for the Air Force should reflect 
        the importance of the nuclear mission of the Air Force 
        and the need to provide members of the Air Force 
        assigned to the nuclear mission the best possible 
        support and quality of life.

        States remains safe, secure, reliable, credible, and 
        responsive, the United States must continually exercise 
        all capabilities required to conceptualize, study,

        manufacturing cycles and timelines to minimize the 
        amount of time and costs leading to an engineering 
        prototype and production.

        integration and coordination of all relevant elements 
        and processes of the Administration and the Department 
        of Defense required to ensure stockpile responsiveness.

        assessment, based on the most current information

                compared to cost savings estimated under

                contract was awarded.

                General considers appropriate.
          ``(3) Exception.--The Comptroller General may not 
        conduct a review under paragraph (1) or (2) of a report 
        relating to a contract to manage and operate a facility 
        of the National Nuclear Security Administration while a 
        protest described in subsection (a)(2) is pending with 
        respect to that contract.''; and

                subparagraph (B), by striking ``and (d)(2)''.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) in the past decade, competition of the management 
        and operating contracts for the national security 
        laboratories has resulted in significant increases in 
        fees paid to the contractors--funding that otherwise 
        could be used to support program and mission activities 
        of the National Nuclear Security Administration;
          (2) competition of the management and operating 
        contracts of the nuclear security enterprise is an 
        important mechanism to help realize cost savings, seek 
        efficiencies, improve performance, and hold contractors 
        accountable;
          (3) when the Administrator for Nuclear Security 
        considers it appropriate to achieve those goals, the 
        Administrator should conduct competition of such 
        contracts while recognizing the unique nature of 
        federally funded research and development centers; and
          (4) the Administrator should ensure that fixed fees 
        and performance-based fees contained in management and 
        operating contracts are as low as possible to maintain 
        a focus on national service while attracting high-
        quality contractors and achieving the goals of the 
        competition.

        infrastructure until the 2030s is an unacceptable risk 
        to the nuclear deterrent and the national security of 
        the United States; and
          (3) timelines for creating certain capacities for 
        production of plutonium pits and other nuclear weapons 
        components must be driven by the requirement to hedge

                including the numbers of pits produced that are 
                needed for nuclear weapons life extension 
                programs.
                  (B) The annual pit production requirement, 
                including the numbers of pits produced, to 
                support a responsive nuclear weapons 
                infrastructure to hedge against technical and 
                geopolitical risk.

JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO ACCOMPANY S. 1356, THE NATIONAL DEFENSE 
                 AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016

    [Note from the Director, Legislative Operations: The 
following is the text of the Joint Explanatory Statement to 
Accompany S. 1356, the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2016, as printed in the Congressional Record on 
November 5, 2015]
    The following consists of the explanatory material to 
accompany S. 1356, the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2016.
    Section 5 of the Act specifies that this explanatory 
statement shall have the same effect with respect to the 
implementation of this legislation as if it were a joint 
explanatory statement of a committee of conference.
    In this joint explanatory statement, the provisions of H.R. 
1735, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2016 as passed by the House of Representatives on May 15, 2015, 
are generally referred to as ``the House bill.'' The provisions 
of the Senate amendment to H.R. 1735, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 as passed by the Senate 
on June 18, 2015, are generally referred to as ``the Senate 
amendment.'' The final form of the agreements reached during 
negotiations between the House and the Senate are referred to 
as ``the agreement.'' References in the joint explanatory 
statement that ``the House recedes'' or ``the Senate recedes'' 
on a particular provision reflects the outcome from the 
conference agreement on H.R. 1735.
    On October 1, 2015, the Conference Report to accompany H.R. 
1735 was agreed to in the House by the Yeas and Nays [270-156]. 
On October 7, 2015, the Conference Report was agreed to in the 
Senate by the Yeas and Nays [70-27]. On October 22, 2015, HR. 
1735 was vetoed by the President and was returned to the House.
    On October 28, 2015, the House passed H.R. 1314, the 
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, by the Yeas and Nays [266-167], 
and on October 30, 2015, the Senate also passed H.R. 1314 by 
Yea-Nay vote [64-35]. The President signed the bill on November 
2, 2015. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-74) 
did not fully fund account 050 to the level requested by the 
President in his budget submission, and as agreed to by the 
conferees and authorized in H.R. 1735. As a result, the 
agreement includes a reduction of $5.0 billion from the level 
authorized in H.R. 1735 to conform to Public Law 114-74. The 
agreement between the two Houses addressed, in part, the 
concerns regarding the budget impact of H.R. 1735 expressed by 
the President in his veto message returning H.R. 1735 to the 
House. The resulting agreement was incorporated S. 1356, the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016.
Compliance with rules of the House of Representatives and Senate 
        regarding earmarks and congressionally directed spending items
    Consistent with the intent of clause 9 of rule XXI of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives and Rule XLIV of the 
Standing Rules of the Senate, neither the bill text reflected 
in the agreement nor the accompanying joint explanatory 
statement contains any congressional earmarks, congressionally 
directed spending items, limited tax benefits, or limited 
tariff benefits, as defined in such rules.
Summary of discretionary authorizations and budget implication
    The budget request for national defense discretionary 
programs within the jurisdiction of the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives for 
fiscal year 2016 was $604.2 billion. Of this amount, $534.2 
billion was requested for base Department of Defense programs, 
$50.9 billion was requested for overseas contingency 
operations, and $19.0 billion was requested for national 
security programs in the Department of Energy and the Defense 
Nuclear Facilities Safety Board.
    The agreement would authorize $599.2 billion in fiscal year 
2016, including $521.9 billion for base Department of Defense 
programs, $58.8 billion for overseas contingency operations, 
and $18.6 billion for national security programs in the 
Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety 
Board. The agreement reflects the $5.0 billion reduction to the 
President's budget request for national security (050) in order 
to conform to the revised budget caps contained in the 
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-74). It further 
reflects a realignment of some funds from the accounts for 
overseas contingency operations to the base budget.
    The two tables preceding the detailed program adjustments 
in Division D of the accompanying joint statement of managers 
summarize the discretionary authorizations in the agreement and 
the equivalent budget authority levels for fiscal year 2016 
defense programs.
Budgetary effects of this Act (sec. 4)
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 4) that 
would require the budgetary effects of this Act be determined 
in accordance with the procedures established in title I of the 
Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-139).
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision.

Stryker vehicle lethality upgrades
    The House bill contained an increase in funding for Stryker 
vehicle lethality upgrades of $35.0 million in Research, 
Development, Test & Evaluation, Army and $44.5 million in 
Procurement of Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles, Army 
respectively.
    The Senate amendment contained an increase in these same 
funding areas of $97.0 million and $314.0 million, 
respectively.
    The agreement, in Sections 4101 and 4102, includes 
increased funding in line with the Senate amendment.
    We support the Army's plan to upgrade 81 Stryker vehicles 
with increased lethality as requested by the U.S. Army Europe 
in a recent Operational Need Statement. We understand the 
urgency for this requirement given heightened security concerns 
of our NATO partners due to Russian aggression in Ukraine. As 
such, we expect the rapid production of fully serviceable, 
upgraded Strykers. In order to meet the compressed timeline for 
fielding upgraded Strykers to the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, we 
expect the Army to manage this program with dispatch and 
efficiency. Identified risks associated with cost, schedule, 
and performance are to be managed with focused controls and 
leadership. We view this initiative, which is intended to 
increase the combat power of a forward deployed unit, as an 
opportunity to succeed in accordance with significant 
acquisition reforms illustrated in many provisions within this 
bill.
    With regard to cost, we note the Army currently plans on 
starting with existing chassis of Stryker vehicles discarded 
during the upgrade to Double V Hull (DVH) Strykers. This 
approach appears to add significantly to the unit cost for the 
lethality upgrades which the Army has informed the defense 
committees may be approximately $4.5 million per vehicle. We 
note that the Army already has extensive upgrade programs for 
the Stryker vehicle to include additional DVH Strykers and the 
Engineering Change Proposal modernization program. It is 
unclear if the Army ultimately plans on adding the lethality 
initiative to DVH Strykers, including those equipped with the 
Engineering Change Proposal upgrade. We are concerned that 
simply adding a broad Stryker lethality package for the Army's 
Stryker Brigade Combat Teams could add billions of dollars to 
the already stressed resources of the combat vehicle portfolio. 
Therefore, the committee encourages the Army to reduce the unit 
cost of the Stryker lethality upgrade program and evaluate ways 
to more efficiently pursue upgrades to the Stryker vehicle 
fleet and Stryker Brigade Combat Teams.

                       Subtitle C--Navy Programs


Modification of CVN-78 class aircraft carrier program (sec. 121)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 114) that 
would amend subsection (f) of section 122 of the John Warner 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public 
Law 109-364; 120 Stat. 2104), as added by section 121(c) of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public 
Law 113-66; 127 Stat. 692), by adding a reporting requirement 
to the USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) quarterly report. Beginning 
January 1, 2016, the Secretary of the Navy would be required to 
submit, as part of the CVN-79 quarterly report, a description 
of new design and engineering changes to CVN-78 class aircraft 
carriers that exceed $5.0 million and occurred during the 
reporting period. The provision would require the report to 
include program or ship cost increases for each design or 
engineering change and any cost reduction achieved. The 
Secretary of the Navy and Chief of Naval Operations would each 
be required to sign this additional reporting requirement and 
would be precluded from delegating the certification. The 
required certification would have to include a determination 
that each change serves the national security interests of the 
United States; cannot be deferred to a future ship due to 
operational necessity, safety, or substantial cost reduction; 
and was reviewed and endorsed by the Secretary of the Navy and 
Chief of Naval Operations.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Amendment to cost limitation baseline for CVN-78 class aircraft carrier 
        program (sec. 122)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 111) that 
would further amend section 122 of the John Warner National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-
364) as amended by section 121(a) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) by 
adjusting the procurement cost cap for USS John F. Kennedy 
(CVN-79) and subsequent CVN-78 class aircraft carriers from 
$11,498,000,000 to $11,398,000,000.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would add an 
additional amendment to section 121(b) of the John Warner 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public 
Law 109-364), as amended by section 121(a) of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-
66). We recognize that the Department of the Navy has made 
considerable gains in controlling the cost of CVN-78 class 
aircraft carriers and believe further efforts at cost reduction 
are warranted. The current cost cap and cost estimate for CVN-
79 is $11.5 billion, which includes only limited program 
management reserve for unforeseeable issues during CVN-79 
construction. We expect the Department to continue to employ 
efforts to reduce costs on this ship class and accordingly are 
lowering the Congressional cap to $11.4 billion. However, if 
during construction of CVN-79 the Chief of Naval Operations 
determines that measures required to complete the ship within 
the revised cost cap shall result in an unacceptable reduction 
to the ship's operational capability, the Secretary of the Navy 
may increase the CVN-79 cost cap up to $11.5 billion. If such 
action is taken, the Secretary of the Navy shall adhere to the 
notification requirements specified in section 121(d) of the 
John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2007 (Public Law 109-364).
    We note that section 122 of the John Warner National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-
364) set the cost cap for the lead ship at $10.5 billion, plus 
adjustments for inflation and other factors, and at $8.1 
billion for subsequent CVN-78 class carriers, plus adjustments 
for inflation and other factors. Section 122 was amended by 
section 121(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66), which revised the cost 
cap for the lead ship to $12.9 billion, plus adjustments for 
inflation and other factors, and to $11.5 billion for 
subsequent CVN-78 class carriers, plus adjustments for 
inflation and other factors. We understand 90 percent or $3.1 
billion of the $3.4 billion increase in the cost cap for 
follow-on ships is attributable to economic inflation, which 
includes actual inflation realized and updated projections of 
future inflation based on Navy shipbuilding inflation indices. 
In view of this significant cost growth attributed to 
inflation, the Congressional Budget Office is directed to 
provide a report to the congressional defense committees no 
later than December 1, 2015 that includes the following 
elements:
    (1) Explanation of how inflation was calculated and 
projected in the cost estimates for CVN-78 class aircraft 
carriers in each annual budget from fiscal year 2007 to fiscal 
year 2015;
    (2) Description of inflation rates for CVN-78, CVN-79, and 
CVN-80, by fiscal year, from fiscal year 2007 until the 
obligation work limiting date for each ship;
    (3) Comparison of projected inflation rates vs. actual 
inflation rates for CVN-78 class aircraft carriers, by fiscal 
year, from fiscal year 2007 to fiscal year 2015;
    (4) Explanation of the key factors that are used to plan 
for and calculate current and projected inflation rates for 
CVN-78 class aircraft carrier cost estimates;
    (5) Explanation of root causes of inflation escalation 
above the planned inflation assumed in CVN-78 class aircraft 
carrier cost estimates; and
    (6) Component-level explanation of the $3.1 billion 
increase in the cost estimate for CVN-79 and following aircraft 
carriers attributable to economic inflation.

Extension and modification of limitation on availability of funds for 
        Littoral Combat Ship (sec. 123)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 116) that 
would amend section 123 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) by extending the limitation on 
funds for LCS-25 and LCS-26 until pre-existing requirements are 
met and would additionally require the Navy to provide to the 
congressional defense committees the following: an acquisition 
strategy for LCS-25 through LCS-32; a LCS mission module 
acquisition strategy; a plan to outfit Flight 0 and Flight 0+ 
Littoral Combat Ships with capabilities identified for the 
upgraded Littoral Combat Ship; and a current test and 
evaluation master plan for the Littoral Combat Ship mission 
modules.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Modification to multiyear procurement authority for Arleigh Burke-class 
        destroyers and associated systems (sec. 124)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 121) that would 
amend section 123(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to clarify that 
theSecretary of the Navy has the authority to procure Flight III 
destroyers as part of the existing Arleigh Burke-class multiyear 
procurement authority.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    The Senate report accompanying S. 3254 (S. Rept. 112-173) 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 
described Senate intent regarding the current multiyear 
procurement authority for Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and 
associated systems. The Senate report supported the change to 
buying Flight III destroyers through an engineering change 
proposal and the inclusion of such ships in the multiyear 
procurement authority, following submission of a specified 
report. The House report accompanying H.R. 1960 (H. Rept. 113-
102) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2014 expressed concern about the physical limitations 
associated with the integration of the Air and Missile Defense 
Radar on the Flight III version of the Arleigh Burke-class 
destroyer and requested a report to assess this integration 
process. Having received the required reports, we support the 
changes proposed by the Secretary of the Navy to integrate the 
Air and Missile Defense Radar into the Arleigh Burke-class 
destroyers and the addition of these Flight III ships to the 
current Arleigh Burke-class multiyear procurement contract.

Procurement of additional Arleigh Burke class destroyer (sec. 125)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 117) that 
would allow the Secretary of the Navy to enter into a contract 
beginning with the fiscal year 2016 program year for the 
procurement of 1 Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in addition to 
the 10 DDG-51s in the fiscal year 2013 through 2017 multiyear 
procurement contract or for 1 DDG-51 in fiscal year 2018. The 
Secretary may employ incremental funding for such procurement.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Refueling and complex overhaul of the USS George Washington (sec. 126)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 122) that would 
provide economic order quantity authority for the construction 
of two Ford-class aircraft carriers and incremental funding 
authority for the nuclear refueling and complex overhaul of 
five Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit new 
aircraft carrier program procurement authority to the nuclear 
refueling and complex overhaul of USS George Washington (CVN-
73).
    The Department of the Navy awarded a detail design and 
construction contract for the USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) on 
June 5, 2015. At the time of award, Program Executive Officer 
(PEO), Aircraft Carriers, Rear Admiral Thomas Moore, indicated 
``. . . with a stable design, mature requirements and an 
improved build process, we will reduce construction hours by 18 
percent, lower the cost to build the ship by almost $1 billion 
in real terms compared to CVN-78. . .''. Following $2.4 billion 
in cost growth on the lead ship, CVN-78, we are encouraged by 
the ongoing collaboration between the Department of the Navy 
and industry to achieve cost reductions. We note that other 
ship construction programs have been able to reduce costs 
through acquisition efficiencies and economic order decisions. 
Therefore, to better assess acquisition options, we direct the 
Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees by March 1, 2016, that provides an 
assessment of the merits associated with using economic order 
quantity procurement with CVN-80 and CVN-81. This report should 
assess the specific aircraft carrier components that would be 
best suited to include in a potential economic order quantity 
contract, and the estimated cost savings that could be achieved 
using this procurement authority.

Fleet replenishment oiler program (sec. 127)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 118) that 
would grant the Secretary of the Navy contracting authority to 
procure up to six fleet replenishment oilers (T-AO (X)). This 
new ship class is a non-developmental recapitalization program 
based on existing commercial technology and standards. The ship 
design is considered to be low risk by the Navy, with the 
design scheduled to be complete prior to the start of 
construction on the lead ship. This provision would enable an 
estimated $45.0 million in savings per ship, for ships 2-6, for 
a total of $225.0 million in savings compared to current annual 
procurement cost estimates.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Limitation on availability of funds for USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) 
        (sec. 128)

would limit $100.0 million in Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy 
procurement funds for USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) subject to 
the submission of a certification regarding full ship shock 
trials and two reports.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would provide the 
Secretary of Defense with waiver authority to delay full ship 
shock trials on the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) until after the 
ship's first deployment but prior to the first major 
maintenance availability.

Limitation on availability of funds for USS Enterprise (CVN-80) (sec. 
        129)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 113) that 
would limit $191.4 million in advance procurement funds for USS 
Enterprise (CVN-80), until the Secretary of the Navy submits a 
certification and report to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and of the House of Representatives. $191.4 million 
is the sum of funding requested for plans (detailed) and basic 
construction for CVN-80.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
submission of the certification and report to all four 
congressional defense committees, as well as require the 
certification be provided within 90 days of enactment of this 
Act.

Limitation on availability of funds for Littoral Combat Ship (sec. 130)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 115) that 
would limit 75 percent of fiscal year 2016 funds for research 
and development, design, construction, procurement or advance 
procurement of materials for the upgraded Littoral Combat Ships 
(LCS), designated as LCS-33 and subsequent, until the Secretary 
of the Navy submits to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and of the House of Representatives: a capabilities-
based assessment to assess capability gaps and associated 
capability requirements and risks for the upgraded LCS, an 
updated capabilities development document for the upgraded LCS, 
and a report describing the upgraded LCS modernization.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that changes the 
limitation to 50 percent of fiscal year 2016 funds and allows 
for a capabilities-based assessment or equivalent report.

Reporting requirement for Ohio-class replacement submarine program 
        (sec. 131)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 119) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit Ohio-class 
replacement submarine cost tracking information, together with 
annual budget justification materials. While the first Ohio-
class replacement submarine is not planned to be authorized 
until fiscal year 2021, the national importance of this program 
and significant cost will continue to merit close oversight by 
the congressional defense committees.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Secretary will mitigate any risks relating to the retirement. 
The provision would not apply to individual B-1, B-2, or B-52 
aircraft if the Secretary of the Air Force, on a case-by-case 
basis, determines the aircraft to be non-operational because of 
mishaps, other damage, or being uneconomical to repair.

Inventory requirement for fighter aircraft of the Air Force (sec. 151)

    The Senate amendment included a provision (sec. 132) that 
would amend section 8062 of title 10, United States Code, by 
adding a new subsection requiring the Secretary of the Air 
Force to maintain a minimum total active inventory of 1,950 
fighter aircraft, within which the Secretary would also be 
required to maintain a minimum of 1,116 fighter aircraft as 
primary mission aircraft inventory (combat-coded). The 
provision would also provide additional limitations on fighter 
retirements by requiring the Secretary of the Air Force to 
certify to certain specified criteria, and also require a 
detailed report in advance of retiring fighter aircraft.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment to strike the amendment 
to section 8062 of title 10, change the limitation period to a 
2-year period beginning on October 1, 2015, and reduce the 
minimum numbers of fighters required to be maintained by the 
Air Force to 1,900 total aircraft inventory and 1,100 primary 
mission aircraft inventory (combat-coded). The amendment would 
also eliminate the certification and detailed report 
requirements, and require specified information in a report to 
be included in the material submitted in support of the budget 
for a particular fiscal year, if proposing the retirement of 
fighter aircraft in that fiscal year's budget. The report would 
not apply to individual fighter aircraft if the Secretary of 
the Air Force, on a case-by-case basis, determines the aircraft 
to be non-operational because of mishaps, other damage, or 
being uneconomical to repair.
    We recognize that based on the 2010 Quadrennial Defense 
Review, the Air Force determined through extensive analysis 
that a force structure of 1,200 primary mission aircraft and 
2,000 total aircraft is required to execute the National 
Defense Strategy with increased operational risk. Subsequently, 
based on the 2012 Defense Strategic Guidance and fiscal 
constraints, analysis showed the Air Force could decrease 
fighter force structure capacity by approximately 100 
additional aircraft; however, at an even higher level of risk.
    We agree reductions in fighter force capacity below the 
1,900 total and 1,100 combat-coded inventory levels, in light 
of ongoing and anticipated operations in Iraq and Syria against 
the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, coupled with a 
potential delay of force withdrawals from Afghanistan and a 
revanchist Russia, poses excessive risk to the Air Force's 
ability to execute the National Defense Strategy, causes 
remaining fighter squadrons to deploy more frequently, and 
drives even lower readiness rates across the combat air forces.

Sense of Congress regarding the OCONUS basing of F-35A aircraft (sec. 
        152)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 139) that 
would express the sense of Congress regarding basing of the F-
35A aircraft outside of the continental United States.
    The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 136).
    The House recedes with an amendment to make technical and 
clarifying corrections.

       Subtitle E--Defense-Wide, Joint, and Multiservice Matters


Limitation on availability of funds for Joint Battle Command-Platform 
        (sec. 161)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 141) that would 
require the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, 
Logistics, and Technology to submit a report by March 1, 2016, 
to the congressional defense committees that addresses the 
effectiveness, suitability, and survivability shortfalls of the 
joint battle command-platform equipment identified by the 
Director of Operational Test and Evaluation in the Director's 
fiscal year 2014 annual report to Congress. This section would 
also further limit the obligation or expenditure of 25 percent 
of the funds for the joint battle command-platform until 30 
days after the Assistant Secretary submits such a report.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Report on Army and Marine Corps modernization plan for small arms (sec. 
        162)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 151) that 
would require the Secretaries of the Army and Navy to jointly 
submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
House of Representatives a report on the plan of the Army and 
Marine Corps to modernize small arms.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Study on use of different types of enhanced 5.56mm ammunition by the 
        Army and the Marine Corps (sec. 163)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 144) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees on the use of two different 
types of 5.56mm ammunition by the Army and the Marine Corps.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that requires the 
Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract with a federally 
funded research and development center (FFRDC) such as the 
Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) to conduct a study on the use 
of two different types of enhanced 5.56mm ammunition by the 
Army and the Marine Corps. We note that the CNA has conducted 
similar studies on small arms and small caliber ammunition and 
believe the CNA could meet the requirements of this study.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted


Limitation on Availability of Funds for AN/TPQ-53 Radar Systems

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 111) that would 
limit the obligation or expenditure of 25 percent of the funds 
for AN/TPQ-53 radar systems until 30 days after the date on 
which the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, 
Logistics, and Technology submits to the congressional defense 
committees a review of the current delegation of acquisition 
authority to the Program Executive Officer for Missiles and 
Space.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Stationing of C-130 H aircraft avionics previously modified by the 
        Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) in support of daily 
        training and contingency requirements for Airborne and Special 
        Operations Forces

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 120) that 
would require the Secretary of the Air Force to station 
aircraft previously modified by the C-130 Avionics 
Modernization Program (AMP) to support United States Army 
Airborne and United States Army Special Operations Command unit 
daily training and contingency requirements in fiscal year 
2017, and not require the aircraft to deploy in the normal 
rotation of C-130H units. The provision would also require the 
Secretary to provide such personnel as required to maintain and 
operate the aircraft.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We agree the Air Force must develop a plan that 
incorporates the five C-130H aircraft previously modified with 
the AMP upgrade, the four purchased AMP installation kits, the 
associated simulator equipment, and sustainment and training 
software into the restructured AMP Increments I and II effort. 
We also direct the Air Force to provide a briefing on this plan 
to the congressional defense committees not later than 60 days 
after enactment of this Act. We agree the American taxpayers to 
date have expended considerable funds on the C-130 AMP and 
deserve to receive maximum value for that expenditure.

Sense of Congress on F-16 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) 
        radar upgrade

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 140) that 
would express the sense of Congress on F-16 Active 
Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar upgrades that it is 
essential to our Nation's defense that: (1) Air Force aircraft 
modification funding be made available to purchase AESA radars 
as the Air Force bridges the gap between 4th- and 5th-
generationfighters; (2) The U.S. Government must invest in 
radar upgrades to ensure 4th-generation aircraft succeed at zero-fail 
missions; and (3) The First Air Force Joint Urgent Operational Needs 
request should be met as soon as possible.
    The House bill contained no similar provisions.
    The Senate recedes.
    We agree on the importance that should be accorded to 
funding AESA radar upgrades for existing aircraft.

Stryker Lethality Upgrades

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 161) that 
would authorize an increase in funding for Stryker vehicle 
lethality upgrades of $97.0 million in Research, Development, 
Test & Evaluation, Army and $314.0 million in Procurement of 
Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles, Army respectively.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    The outcome is reflected in the tables of this report in 
Sections 4101 and 4201 and includes additional funding in line 
with the Senate amendment.

         Title II--Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation


                              Budget Items


Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike System

    The budget request included $134.7 million in PE 64501N for 
the Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike 
(UCLASS) system.
    The House bill would authorize the budget request.
    The Senate amendment would not approve the request in PE 
64501N due to contracting delays caused by waiting on the 
results of the Department of Defense Intelligence Surveillance, 
and Reconnaissance Strategic Portfolio Review. These delays 
resulted in the Navy's having excess fiscal year 2015 funds in 
the program. The Senate amendment would instead provide an 
additional $725.0 million in Research, Development, Test and 
Evaluation, Defense-wide, including $350.0 million for 
continued development and risk reduction activities of the 
Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstration (UCAS-D) aircraft that 
would benefit the overall UCLASS program, and $375.0 million to 
be used for a competitive prototyping of at least two follow-on 
air systems that move the Department toward a UCLASS program 
capable of long-range strike in a contested environment.
    We believe that the Navy should develop a penetrating, air-
refuelable, unmanned carrier-launched aircraft capable of 
performing a broad range of missions in a non-permissive 
environment. We believe that such an aircraft should be 
designed for full integration into carrier air wing 
operations--including strike operations--and possess the range, 
payload, and survivability attributes as necessary to 
complement such integration. Although the Defense Department 
could develop land-based unmanned aircraft with attributes to 
support the air wing, we believe that the United States would 
derive substantial strategic and operational benefits from 
operating such aircraft from a mobile seabase that is self-
deployable and not subject to the caveats of a host nation.
    Therefore, we recommend an increase of $350.0 million to 
the UCLASS program and direct the Secretary of Defense to use 
these funds to conduct competitive air vehicle risk reduction 
activities that would lead to fielding penetrating, air-
refuelable, UCLASS air vehicles capable of performing a broad 
range of missions in a non-permissive environment.
    We direct the Navy to leverage both the lessons learned 
from the UCAS-D program and the existence of two operational 
UCAS-D demonstrator aircraft in support of these efforts. We 
also encourage the Secretaries of Defense and the Navy to 
consider all appropriate flexible acquisition authorities 
granted in law and in this Act, including those for rapid 
prototyping. Finally, we recommend that any contractual 
arrangements executed with this funding provide the Navy with 
sufficient technical data rights to support a subsequent 
competitive prototyping, follow-on development, or future 
multiple-sourced production efforts.
    We look forward to reviewing the results of the Department 
of Defense Intelligence Surveillance, and Reconnaissance 
Strategic Portfolio Review and also the report directed in 
section 217 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.

Integrated personnel and pay system for Army

    The budget request included $136.0 million in PE 65018A for 
the Integrated Personnel and Pay System--Army (IPPS-A).
    The House bill included the full requested amount.
    The Senate amendment included $86.0 million for IPPS-A, a 
reduction of $50.0 million.
    The agreement authorizes $121.0 million in PE 65018A for 
the Integrated Personnel and Pay System--Army (IPPS-A). 
Elsewhere in this Act, we include a legislative provision that 
limits obligation of funds for the program, until provision of 
a required report to Congress on program plans.

              Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations


Authorization of appropriations (sec. 201)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 201) that would 
authorize the appropriations for research, development, test, 
and evaluation activities at the levels identified in section 
4201 of division D of this Act.
    The Senate bill contained an identical provision (sec. 
201).
    The agreement includes this provision.

    Subtitle B--Program Requirements, Restrictions, and Limitations


Centers for Science, Technology, and Engineering Partnership (sec. 211)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 211) that 
would authorize a program to enhance the Department of Defense 
laboratories with innovative academic and industry partners in 
research and development activities.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Expansion of eligibility for financial assistance under Department of 
        Defense Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation 
        program to include citizens of countries participating in The 
        Technical Cooperation Program (sec. 212)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 216) that 
would expand the Department of Defense's Science, Mathematics, 
and Research for Transformation (SMART) program to include 
students from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and 
Canada.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the provision with an amendment to 
cap the number of new foreign students entering the program at 
five per year. We believe that this cap will help to ensure 
that the majority of the students in the program are U.S. 
citizens, while also giving the Department the flexibility to 
include foreign students on a trial basis. We also believe that 
this cap will allow the Department the opportunity to work out 
procedures and processes for the potential expansion to include 
other kinds of foreign students, should the Secretary of 
Defense determine that is in the national security interest.

Expansion of education partnerships to support technology transfer and 
        transition (sec. 213)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 221) that would 
allow institutions that support technology transition or 
transfer activities, such as business schools or law schools 
with technology management programs, to participate in 
education partnerships with Defense laboratories, as authorized 
in Section 2194 of title 10, United States Code.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the provision with amendments that 
would clarify to which institutions such authorities would 
extend, authorize a sabbatical and internship program for 
university faculty and students to work in Defense 
laboratories, and provide additional emphasis on technology 
transfer and transition projects. We believe that these 
amendments, taken together, would strengthen the purpose of the 
provision, which is to ensure that education partnerships are 
available for those wishing to engage in technology transfer or 
transition, in addition to traditional research projects.

Improvement to coordination and communication of Defense research 
        activities (sec. 214)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 231) that would 
improve the coordination and communication of defense research 
activities and technology domain awareness. The House bill 
directs the Secretary of Defense to promote, monitor, and 
evaluate programs not only among Defense research facilities, 
but also among other government facilities, as well as 
commercial and university entities. The House bill would also 
encourage the Department to achieve full awareness of 
scientific and technological advancement and innovation 
throughout the technology domain.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add 
additional direction to the Secretary of Defense to develop and 
distribute clear technical communications to all internal and 
external entities. We believe it is important that the 
Department more completely and robustly convey successes of 
Defense research and engineering activities.
    The Senate amendment would also direct the Secretary of 
Defense to ensure that publicly-funded Defense research 
facilities support national technological development goals and 
technological missions of other federal agencies, as 
appropriate. We believe that taxpayer funds used for scientific 
research should be used in support of the best interests of the 
U.S. government as a whole.

Reauthorization of Global Research Watch program (sec. 215)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 214) that 
would reauthorize the Global Research Watch program for an 
additional 10 years. The Senate provision would also expand the 
responsibilities of the program to include private sector 
entities, in addition to foreign governments.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes this provision.

Reauthorization of Defense research and development Rapid Innovation 
        Program (sec. 216)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 211) that would 
extend the authorization for the Department of Defense to 
execute activities for the Rapid Innovation Program through 
2020.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
213) that would reauthorize the Rapid Innovation Program for 5 
years. The Senate provision would also make technical changes 
to the program's guidelines and reporting requirements.
    The agreement contains the Senate provision with a 
technical edit from the House to extend the program through 
2023. We believe that it would be more effective to extend the 
program in a manner consistent with the end of the next program 
objective memorandum.

Science and technology activities to support business systems 
        information technology acquisition programs (sec. 217)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 215) that 
would mandate the establishment of science and technology 
activities that would help reduce the technical risk and life 
cycle costs of major information technology acquisition 
programs. The provision would require the Department to fund 
appropriate research, development, and capability-building 
activities to make it a ``smarter buyer'' of these programs.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the provision with an amendment 
directing the Department to conduct a gap analysis to identify 
relevant activities that are not being pursued in the current 
science and technology program.
    We recognize and appreciate that the Department does 
currently engage in some activities that address those 
described in this provision and the original report language 
from the Senate Armed Services Committee. However, we note with 
dismay the significant gaps in activities and technologies 
continue to exist. Examples of these gaps include lack of 
support for business process re-engineering, for lowering costs 
of customization of commercial software, for lowering 
maintenance costs, for open architectures, for engagement with 
management schools and small businesses, and for the conversion 
of legacy software to modern systems. We remain concerned that 
such gaps in science and technology activities related to 
business systems information technology acquisition, if left 
unaddressed, have the potential to severely hamper the 
Department's ability to field a modern and efficient 
information technology enterprise that meets the current and 
future needs of the Department.

Department of Defense technology offset program to build and maintain 
        the technological superiority of the United States (sec. 218)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 212) that 
would establish and initiative within the Department of Defense 
to maintain and enhance the military technological superiority 
of the United States. The provision would establish a program 
to accelerate the fielding of offset technologies, including, 
but not limited to, directed energy, low-cost high-speed 
munitions, autonomous systems, undersea warfare, cyber 
technology, and intelligence data analytics, developed by the 
department and to accelerate the commercialization of such 
technologies. The provision would also direct the Secretary to 
establish updated policies and new acquisition and management 
practices that would speed delivery of offset technologies into 
operational use. The provision would authorize $300.0 million 
for fiscal year 2016 for initiative, of which $150.0 million 
would be authorized specifically for directed energy.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes this provision with an amendment to 
remove the requirement for a strategy on the development of 
directed energy technologies.
    We are aware of the challenges facing the Department in 
maintaining technological superiority with regards to potential 
future adversaries. In authorizing the technology offset 
program in this provision, we recognize the need for the 
Department to have sufficient flexibility and resources to make 
sound strategic decisions for technology investment to respond 
to a more dire future security environment. We note that the 
Department has a number of initiatives, such as the Defense 
Innovation Initiative, and the Long-Range Research and 
Development Plan, to help guide those investments.
    In particular, the Armed Services Committees of the Senate 
and the House of Representatives have been focused on the role 
directed energy weapons will have in our future security 
environment, and have been proponents of maturing directed 
energy technologies to transition them to the warfighting 
community as quickly as possible. We are aware that the 
Department and the military services have various roadmaps for 
deploying these technologies, and consider this fund a major 
forcing function to drive accelerated development and 
transition.
    To better understand how the funds authorized in this 
section, in combination with other funds for directed energy 
programs, will be used to identify and transition promising 
directed energy technologies to the warfighting community, we 
direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
Armed Services Committees of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives no later than 180 days after the enactment of 
this Act. This briefing should include:
    1) A description of a program management process for the 
identification of directed energy efforts, including 
prototyping or exercise opportunities, where additional funding 
may support accelerated transition to urgent operational needs 
or programs of record;
    2) A description of coordination mechanisms between 
services and agencies undertaking directed energy activities, 
including coordination of science and technology prototyping, 
and programs of record;
    3) An identification of challenges from the warfighting 
community currently impeding the adoption of or confidence in 
directed energy weapons systems.
    4) An identification of policy, regulatory, or legislative 
impediments or challenges that currently constrain accelerated 
transition to the warfighting community; and
    5) Recommendations for how to improve the department's 
ability to transition promising directed energy technology 
initiatives to the warfighting community.

Limitation on availability of funds for F-15 infrared search and track 
        capability development (sec. 219)

    The House bill contained a provision (Sec. 213) that would 
limit the availability of funds for fiscal year 2016 for the 
research, development, test, and evaluation of F-15 infrared 
search and track capabilities until 30 days after the Secretary 
of Defense submits a specified report.
    The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Limitation on availability of funds for development of the shallow 
        water combat submersible (sec. 220)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 225) that would 
require a briefing to the congressional defense committees on 
the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) Shallow Water 
Combat Submersible (SWCS) program.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 218) that 
would prohibit the expenditure of more than 25 percent of the 
funds available for the SWCS program for fiscal year 2016 until 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and 
Logistics designates a civilian official within his office 
responsible for providing oversight and assistance to SOCOM for 
all undersea mobility programs and, in coordination with the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-
Intensity Conflict, provides the congressional defense 
committees a report on the SWCS program.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would modify to 50 
percent the amounts available for the SWCS program and modify 
associated reporting requirements.

Limitation on availability of funds for Medical Countermeasures Program 
        (sec. 221)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 212) that would 
limit the obligation and expenditure of 50 percent of the funds 
made available for the Department of Defense Medical 
Countermeasures program within the Chemical-Biological Defense 
Program until the Secretary of Defense provides a report to the 
congressional defense committees that validates the 
requirements and conducts an independent cost-benefit analysis 
to justify funding and efficiencies. This section would also 
require the Comptroller General of the United States to submit 
a review of the certification to the congressional defense 
committees within 60 days after the date on which the Secretary 
submits his report.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement contains the House provision with an 
amendment that would decrease the limitation from 50 percent to 
25 percent pertaining only to those funds used for research 
development test and evaluation (RDT&E) activities in the 
Advanced Development and Manufacturing facility per se and not 
all the RDT&E activities associated with the Medical 
Countermeasures Program.
    We further note that Consistent with GAO report 15-257 
(June 2015), the Secretary shall report to the congressional 
defense committees no later than February 28, 2016 on the 
designation of an individual responsible for managing 
infrastructure for the Department of Defense Chemical and 
Biological defense programs, to include shared-use facilities 
such as those within the Advanced Development and Manufacturing 
program, in order to minimize duplication of effort within the 
Department of Defense and other agencies of the federal 
government. The Secretary of defense shall notify the 
congressional defense committees of the appointment of such 
individual no later than 15 days after such designation. 
Further, we direct the Comptroller General to review the roles 
and responsibilities of the official designated to be 
responsible for infrastructure management, and to brief the 
congressional defense committees no later than March 31, 2016.

Limitation on availability of funds for distributed common ground 
        system of the Army (sec. 222)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 219) that 
would limit the amount of funds available to be obligated or 
expended by the Secretary of the Army to not more than 75 
percent of the amounts authorized to be obligated for fiscal 
year 2016 until a review of the program planning for the 
distributed common ground system of the Army is submitted to 
the congressional defense and intelligence committees.
    The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1624).
    The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Limitation on availability of funds for distributed common ground 
        system of the United States Special Operations Command (sec. 
        223)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1625) that would 
limit the availability of funds for the Special Operations 
Command's Distributed Common Ground System to 75 percent of the 
funds authorized to be obligated by the program until the 
Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command conducts a review 
of the program planning and submits the findings of such review 
to the congressional defense committees and the 
congressionalintelligence committees and the House Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
220) that would limit the availability of research, 
development, test, and evaluation funds for the distributed 
common ground system of the U.S. Special Operations Command 
(SOCOM) until the Commander of SOCOM submits a report to the 
congressional defense committees.
    The House recedes.

Integrated personnel and pay system for Army (sec. 224)

    The agreement includes a provision (sec. 224) that would 
limit the ability of the Secretary of the Army to obligate more 
than 75 percent of the total authorized amount of fiscal year 
2016 program funds for Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army 
(IPPS-A) program until the Secretary of the Army provides a 
report to the congressional defense committees on the 
performance of legacy systems, changes in human resources 
organization and financial system capabilities, and 
alternatives to the current cost of IPPS-A.

                 Subtitle C--Reports and Other Matters


Streamlining the Joint Federated Assurance Center (sec. 231)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 217) that 
would streamline the Department of Defense's Joint Federated 
Assurance Center by eliminating an unnecessary layer of 
bureaucracy between the Center's steering group and its working 
groups.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes this provision.

Demonstration of persistent close air support capabilities (sec. 232)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 233) that 
would require the Secretary of the Air Force, the Secretary of 
the Army, and the Director of the Defense Advanced Research 
Projects Agency (DARPA) to jointly conduct a demonstration of 
the Persistent Close Air Support (PCAS) capability in fiscal 
year 2016.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment to strike the phrase 
``as identified by the United States Air Force Close Air 
Support Forum'' from subparagraph (b)(1). The amendment would 
also replace all occurrences of the word ``shall'' with 
``may,'' and add a paragraph directing a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees by December 1, 2016 on the 
assessment of demonstration results and cost estimates for 
transition of any desired technologies.
    We strongly encourage the three parties to conduct the PCAS 
demonstration, as the benefits would likely provide a large 
payoff in increased capability for what is estimated to be 
minimal resource investment. In response to the challenge of 
diverse platforms and user populations of the close air support 
mission, the Joint Requirements Oversight Council, in 2009, in 
its Close Air Support Capabilities-Based Assessment, 
recommended that ``Platforms should field flexible systems that 
utilize an improved architecture which migrates the processing 
of digital messages to a Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) based 
processor and away from the [aircraft] operational flight 
programs.''
    We observe that with repeated Air Force proposals to retire 
their fleet of A-10 aircraft, the integration of game-changing 
and relatively inexpensive technologies to improve close air 
support mission operations and results on other platforms could 
be beneficial in assuaging concerns of divesting a particular 
aircraft, even a type with close air support as its primary 
mission.
    We also agree that the Director of DARPA should provide 
resources to the maximum extent practical to minimize costs 
borne by the participating Services to accomplish the 
demonstration activities.

Strategies for engagement with historically black colleges and 
        universities and minority-serving institutions of higher 
        education (sec. 233)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 222) that would 
require the Secretaries of the military departments to each 
develop a strategy for engagement with and support of the 
development of scientific, technical, engineering, and 
mathematics capabilities with historically black colleges and 
universities and minority-serving institutions. The provision 
would also require the Secretary of Defense to develop a 
strategy that encompasses the strategies developed by the 
military departments.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that ensures that such 
strategies are developed by all organizations within the 
Department of Defense that are engaged in basic research, 
thereby broadening the provision to cover all appropriate 
Defense entities.
    We note that in implementing the requirements of this 
provision, the Secretary of Defense may seek information from 
the directorates of the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority 
Participation program (LSAMP) and Historically Black Colleges 
and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) of the 
National Science Foundation; the American Association for the 
Advancement of Science; the Emerging Researchers National 
Conference in Science, Technology, Engineering, and 
Mathematics; the University of Florida Institute for African-
American Mentoring in Computing Sciences (IAAMCS); the Hispanic 
Association of Colleges and Universities; the National Indian 
Education Association; and such other institutions, 
organizations, or associations as the Secretary deems useful.

        Army tactical unmanned aerial systems (sec. 234)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 229) that would 
express the Sense of Congress on the capabilities provided by 
unmanned aerial systems that use wide area surveillance 
sensors. The provision would also require the Secretary of the 
Army to conduct a market survey and flight assessment of 
commercial-off-the-shelf wide area surveillance sensors 
suitable for insertion on Army tactical unmanned aerial 
systems.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
sense of Congress, modify the reporting requirements for the 
market survey, require an assessment of current wide area 
surveillance systems that are currently used or could be used 
on Army tactical unmanned aerial systems, as well as require 
the Secretary of the Army to assess the advisability and 
feasibility of upgrading wide area surveillance systems for 
Army tactical unmanned aerial systems.

Force to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees, not later than January 29, 2016, on the baseline 
and alternatives to the Navy's Tactical Air Combat Training 
System Increment II. The provision would also limit the Navy 
from approving or designating a contract award for the 
specified system until 15 days after the date of the submittal 
of the report.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment striking subparagraph 
(c) to remove the limitation.

    The House recedes with an amendment to have the Secretary 
report to the congressional defense committees.

Assessment of Air-Land Mobile Tactical Communications and Data Network 
        Requirements and Capabilities (sec. 237)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 231) that 
would require the Director of Cost Assessment and Program 
Evaluation (CAPE) to contract with an independent entity to 
conduct a comprehensive assessment of current and future 
requirements and capabilities to determine the technological 
feasibility, achievability, suitability, and survivability of a 
tactical communications and data network. The provision would 
also prohibit the Secretary of the Army from obligating more 
than 50 percent of funds available in Other Procurement, Army 
for the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical, Increment 2 
program subject to the submission of the independent entity's 
report.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
limitation of funds, and require the Director of CAPE to seek 
to enter into a contract with a federally funded research and 
development center to conduct a comprehensive assessment of 
current and future requirements and capabilities of the Army 
with respect to air-land ad hoc, mobile tactical communications 
and data networks, including the technological feasibility, 
suitability, and survivability of such networks.
    We believe the Director of CAPE shall select a federally 
funded research and development center with direct, long-
standing, and demonstrated experience and expertise in program 
test and evaluation of concepts, requirements, and technologies 
for joint tactical communications and data networking to 
perform the assessment. The Institute for Defense Analysis may 
be such an entity with expertise needed for such a detailed 
assessment.

assurance study to assess the presence, scope, and effect on 
Department of Defense operations of counterfeit electronic 
parts that have passed through the Department of Defense supply 
chain and into fielded systems.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes the provision with an amendment to 
assign responsibility for the study to the executive agent for 
printed circuit board technology. We believe that the executive 
agent is the most appropriate official to conduct such a study. 
The amendment would also require JFAC to conduct a technical 
assessment for indications of malicious tampering on any parts 
assessed that demonstrate unusual or suspicious failure 
mechanisms. We believe that such follow-up is critical for 
ensuring maximum impact and benefit of the study.

Airborne data link plan (sec. 239)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 234) that 
would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics and the Vice Chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff to jointly, in consultation with the Secretary 
of the Air Force and the Secretary of the Navy, to develop a 
plan on airborne data links between fifth-to-fifth, and fifth-
to-fourth generation aircraft. The provision would also limit 
funding for the TALON HATE and Multi-Domain Adaptable 
Processing System programs until the plan was briefed to the 
congressional defense committees.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment to add a date of 
February 15, 2016 for the plan briefing, and to strike 
subsection (c).

Plan for advanced weapons technology war games (sec. 240)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 223) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to develop a plan for 
integrating advanced technologies, such as directed energy 
weapons, hypersonic strike systems, and autonomous systems into 
broader title 10 war games to improve socialization with the 
warfighter and the development and experimentation of various 
concepts for employment by the Armed Forces.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with some technical amendments.

Independent assessment of F135 engine program (sec. 241)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 214) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract with

corrections to correct typographical errors.

Sense of Congress regarding facilitation of a high quality technical 
        workforce (sec. 243)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 227) that would 
express a sense of Congress that the Department of Defense 
should explore using existing authorities for all Federally 
Funded Research and Development Centers to help facilitate and 
shape a high quality scientific and technical workforce that 
can support the Department's needs. In addition, the provision 
would make a number of findings, including that the country's 
scientific and technical workforce is a matter of national 
security, that the Department's support for technical education 
programs facilitates the training of the future workforce, and 
that the highly skilled workforce already employed is qualified 
to facilitate training of a future workforce.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand the 
provision to include all defense laboratories. We believe that 
the paragraphs of the provision apply to all Defense 
laboratories, not only the Federally Funded Research and 
Development Centers, and that all should be recognized as such.
    We find that:
    (1) The quality of the future scientific and technical 
workforce of the United States and the access of the Department 
of Defense to a high quality scientific and technical workforce 
are matters of national security concern;
    (2) The support of the Department of Defense for science, 
technology, engineering, and mathematics education programs 
facilitates the training of a future scientific and technical 
workforce that will contribute significantly to the research, 
development, test, and evaluation functions of the Department 
of Defense and the readiness of the future Armed Forces;
    (3) Defense laboratories and federally funded research and 
development centers sponsored by the Department of Defense 
employ a highly skilled workforce that is qualified to support 
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education 
initiatives, including through meaningful volunteer 
opportunities in primary and secondary educational settings and 
cooperative relationships and arrangements with private sector 
organizations and State and local governments, and to 
facilitate the training of a future scientific and technical 
workforce;
    (4) Robust participation in scientific and technical 
conferences, including industry and international conferences, 
will strengthen the national security scientific and technical 
workforce.

amendment would increase funding by a total of $23.0 million 
including $15.0 million for integrated aircraft survivability 
and $8.0 million for ballistic protection
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    The outcome is reflected in section 4101 and 4201 of this 
Act, and includes funding in line with the Senate amendment.

                       Items of Special Interest


Apportionment of small business funds under continuing resolutions

    We believe that under a continuing budget resolution (CR), 
federal agencies remain responsible for assessing the Small 
Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Small Business 
Technology Transition (STTR) set-asides, and executing program 
support for small business technology innovation. To support 
Department of Defense access to small business innovation, we 
believe that Department comptrollers should move expeditiously 
to calculate the SBIR/STTR assessments, and make those funds 
available to military services and agency SBIR/STTR programs 
commensurate with those assessments, on a timeline that 
supports program effectiveness.

Expedited approval for attendance at conferences in support of science 
        and innovation activities of Department of Defense and the 
        National Nuclear Security Administration

    We note with concern that since the Departments of Defense 
and Energy have implemented updated conference policies, in 
response to requirements from the Office of Management and 
Budget, attendance at science and technology conferences by 
department personnel has reduced dramatically. According to a 
report from the Government Accountability Office in March 2015, 
conference attendance from the Army Research Laboratory 
declined from about 1300 attendees in 2011 to about 100 
attendees in 2013. A similar drop in attendance was reported 
from Sandia National Laboratories. The report highlights that 
such a drop in attendance risks a decline in the quality of 
scientific research, difficulty in recruiting and retaining 
qualified scientists and engineers, and a diminished leadership 
role for the two departments within the global science and 
technology community. The report also notes that the new 
departmental policies are not meeting the needs of personnel 
requesting approval to travel to conferences.
    Given the importance of conference attendance for an active 
exchange of scientific information and for recruiting and 
retaining high-quality technical talent, and therefore 
maintaining technological superiority, we are concerned that 
the conference attendance approval policies are undermining and 
eroding the science and technology missions of both departments 
as well as the ability of personnel to engage in cutting-edge 
research, development, testing, and evaluation. We believe that 
technical conference participation is especially important to 
keep program managers aware of new trends in technology, so 
that they may make better informed decisions on behalf of 
taxpayers.
    To maintain global technology awareness and to support 
retention of technical staff, we believe that the Departments 
should strive to follow the best practices of the innovative 
private and academic institutions in developing management and 
oversight practices for conference participation. We are 
concerned that in specific technical fields of interest to 
defense, such as hypersonics and cybersecurity, the lack of 
participation in conferences is ceding U.S. leadership to 
competitor nations.
    In response to these findings and concerns, we direct the 
Secretaries of Defense and Energy to revise current policies 
within the Department of Defense and National Nuclear Security 
Administration, respectively, whereby requests for scientific 
conference attendance are adjudicated within one month, and 
approvals are granted as appropriate within one month. Further, 
we direct the Secretaries of Defense and Energy to ensure that 
any decisions to disapprove conference attendance through these 
revised policies are made if and only if the appropriate 
officials determine that the disapproval would have a net 
positive impact on research and development and on program 
management quality, and not simply default disapprovals 
necessitated by a bureaucratic inability to make a timely 
decision. In addition, we direct that these new policies be 
implemented no later than 90 days after the enactment of this 
act.
    We recommend that, through these revised policies, 
laboratory and test center directors be given the authority to 
approve conference attendance, provided that the attendance 
would meet the mission of the laboratory or test center and 
that sufficient laboratory or test center funds are available.
    We direct the Secretaries of Defense and Energy each to 
report to the Senate Armed Services Committee and the House 
Armed Services Committee on the revised policies from their 
respective agencies, as well as an assessment of their benefits 
and drawbacks, along with measures for tracking the 
effectiveness of the new policies. We further direct that this 
report be submitted no later than one year after the enactment 
of this act.

Protection of advanced technologies

    We have concerns that the Department of Defense, while 
taking necessary steps to pursue and create innovative 
technologies and to access global sources of innovation, also 
needs to better protect such technologies against unauthorized 
disclosure to or theft by potential adversaries. We are 
concerned that some adversaries have clear strategies (1) to 
overcome our general technology protection efforts and specific 
program protection measures, and (2) to mitigate our efforts to 
increase our technological superiority. For this reason, we 
believe that the Department would benefit from better 
technology and program protection planning and more effective 
cybersecurity measures.
    Therefore, we direct the Secretary of Defense to conduct a 
review of methodologies that potential adversaries are 
exploiting to gain unauthorized access to technologies and 
intellectual property, and to circumvent current export control 
and other technology protection regimes. Additionally, the 
Department should review structures of business relationships, 
such as partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, 
and consortia, to assess the potential that these types of 
relationships present additional opportunities for exploitation 
by adversaries. Further, we direct the Secretary to brief the 
results of the review to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and House of Representatives by March 15, 2016, 
including any recommendations that may necessitate legislative 
action.

planned reductions in management headquarters. In addition, 
this section would further modify section 904 of Public Law 
113-66 to require the Department to implement its planned 
reduction in management headquarters budgets and personnel for 
certain organizations in the National Capital Region. Lastly, 
it would clarify that civilian employees funded from working-
capital funds are not subject to the reduction requirement.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
351) that would cut 30 percent from the budgets of headquarters 
activities over the next 4 years and require the Secretary of 
Defense to perform a comprehensive review of these activities 
and consider elimination, consolidation, and downsizing where 
appropriate.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
Department to plan and budget for $10.0 billion in cost savings 
in its headquarters, administrative and support activities 
between fiscal year 2015 and 2019. The amendment would also 
require at least a 25 percent reduction to headquarters 
activities, which would count towards the $10.0 billion 
savings. Finally, the amendment would require a comprehensive 
review of headquarters, administrative and support functions 
with an eye towards streamlining and consolidating these 
functions across the Department of Defense.
    We believe that the Secretary must credit the reductions, 
as having been accomplished in earlier fiscal years in 
accordance with the December 2013 Directive, as part of the 
baseline amount under this section for all of the Department of 
Defense headquarters and the specific baseline amounts for each 
such headquarters activity.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted


Additional authorization of appropriations for the Office of Economic 
        Adjustment

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 302) that would 
authorize $25.0 million for transportation projects on local 
roads that would help mitigate traffic congestion associated 
with the military facility.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note that the Defense Access Road program provides such 
funds around military installations where warranted.

Report on efforts to reduce high energy costs at military installations

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 312) that 
would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics, in consultation with the assistant 
secretaries responsible for energy installations and 
environment for the military services and the Defense Logistics 
Agency, to conduct an assessment of the efforts to achieve cost 
savings at military installations with high energy costs.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We encourage the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, 
Installations, and Environment to include in the Department's 
Annual Energy Management Report an assessment of cost reduction 
efforts by military installations with high energy costs to 
include state and local partnership opportunities.

Exemption of Department of Defense from alternative fuel procurement

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 315) that would 
amend section 526 of the Energy Independence and Security Act 
of 2007 (Public Law 110-140) to exempt the Department of 
Defense from the requirements related to contracts for 
alternative or synthetic fuel in that section.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Limitation on plan, design, refurbishing, or construction of biofuels 
        refineries

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 316) that would 
require the Department of Defense to obtain a congressional 
authorization before entering into a contract for the planning, 
design, refurbishing, or construction of a biofuels refinery.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Comprehensive study on impact of proposed ozone rule

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 317) that would 
require the Department of Defense to conduct a comprehensive 
study on the impact of any final rule to the National Ambient 
Air Quality Standards for Ozone on military readiness.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Assignment of certain new requirements based on determinations of cost-
        efficiency

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 321) that would 
assign certain new work requirements based on determinations of 
cost-efficiency.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note that sec. 321 is one of three provisions, along 
with sections 717 and 907, that we considered that cited 
Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 7041.04, ``Estimating 
and Comparing the Full Costs of Civilian and Active-Duty 
Military Manpower and Contract Support,'' as the prescribed 
methodology for making cost comparisons between DOD workforce 
sectors if the work is not inherently governmental or otherwise 
exempt from private-sector performance. We also note that the 
Senate Committee on Armed Services included in Senate Report 
114-49 language directing the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report setting forth the results of a study comparing the fully 
burdened cost of performance by Department of Defense (DOD) 
civilians and contractors.
    We recognize that the costing methodology in DODI 7041.04, 
while validated by the DOD Office of Cost Assessment and 
Program Evaluation (CAPE), ``continues to have certain 
limitations,'' as reported by the Government Accountability 
Office in GAO-13-792, ``Opportunities Exist to Further Improve 
DOD's Methodology for Estimating the Costs of Its Workforces.'' 
In the same report, GAO raised questions ``about the extent to 
which . . . officials throughout DOD are aware of a requirement 
to use the methodology for decisions other than in-sourcing.''
    In light of these findings, we direct the Secretary of 
Defense, in responding to the reporting requirement in Senate 
Report 114-49 referenced above, to address the following 
additional items: (1) What steps has the Department taken to 
comply with the recommendations in GAO-13-792 for improving the 
costing methodology in DODI 7041.04; (2) What guidance has the 
Office of the Secretary of Defense issued to military 
components and defense agencies regarding the use of the cost-
comparison process to make workforce mix decisions; (3) What 
roles do CAPE and the Office of the DOD Comptroller play in the 
cost-comparison process, both prior to workforce sourcing 
decisions being made and in tracking workforce sourcing 
outcomes; (4) What is the Office of the Secretary of Defense 
doing to ensure the skills, training, or experience needed to 
effectively perform manpower cost comparisons are available in 
the DOD workforce, including completion of the competency gap 
assessments cited in GAO-13-188, ``Critical Skills and 
Competency Assessments Should Help Guide DOD Civilian Workforce 
Decisions''; and (5) How will the findings in the report 
required in Senate Report 114-49 be used to improve and correct 
current limitations of the cost-comparison process outlined in 
DODI 7041.04?

Access to wireless high-speed Internet and network connections for 
        certain members of the Armed Forces deployed overseas

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 334) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to enter into contracts with 
third-party vendors to provide wireless high-speed Internet and 
network connections for certain members of the Armed Forces 
deployed overseas.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Assessment of outreach for small business concerns owned and controlled 
        by women and minorities required before conversion of certain 
        functions to contractor performance

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 336) that would 
limit the conversion of a function to performance by a 
contractor until an assessment has been made as to whether the 
Department has carried out sufficient outreach programs to 
assist small business concerns owned and controlled by women 
(as such term is defined in section 8(d)(3)(D) of the Small 
Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(d)(3)(D))) and small business 
concerns owned and controlled by socially and economically 
disadvantaged individuals (as such term is defined in section 
8(d)(3)(C) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(d)(3)(C))) 
that are located in the geographic area near the military base.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Pilot program on intensive instruction in certain Asian languages

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 354) 
authorizing the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
National Education Board, to carry out a pilot program to 
assess the feasibility and advisability of providing 
scholarships in accordance with the David L. Boren National 
Security Education Act of 1991 (50 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.) to 
individuals for intensive language instruction in a covered 
Asian language where deficiencies exist.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We note the need for intensive Asian language training, and 
direct the Secretary of Defense to provide the defense 
committees with a briefing no later than April 15, 2016, on the 
steps Department of Defense is taking to meet that need within 
the context of the Administration's policy to rebalance to the 
Asia-Pacific region.

Sense of Senate on finding efficiencies within the working-capital fund 
        activities of the Department of Defense

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1005) that 
would provide a sense of the Senate for the Secretary of 
Defense to ensure a strong organic industrial base workforce.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement does not include this provision.
    We note that the Secretary of Defense should continue to 
optimize existing workload plans to ensure a strong organic 
industrial base workforce.

Revisions in permanent active duty end strength minimum levels (sec. 
        402)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 402) that would 
revise the permanent Active-Duty end strength minimum levels 
contained in Section 691(b) of title 10, United States Code.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 402) that 
would repeal section 691 of title 10, United States Code. The 
provision would also amend section 115 of title 10, United 
States Code, to provide the Secretary of Defense and the 
service secretaries authority to vary military personnel end 
strengths below those authorized in title IV of this Act.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 
subsection (e) of section 691 of title 10, United States Code, 
to increase the variance authority of the Secretary of Defense 
contained in that section from 0.5 percent to 2 percent.

Reserve, 2,260; the Air National Guard of the United States, 
14,748; and the Air Force Reserve, 3,032.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 412) that 
would authorize the end strengths for the Reserves on Active 
Duty in support of the reserve components by the same amounts 
as the House bill and further required the Chief of the 
National Guard Bureau to take into account the actual number of 
members of the Army National Guard of the United States serving 
in each state as of September 30 each year when allocating 
full-time duty personnel in the Army National Guard of the 
United States.
    The Senate recedes.
    We note that the Senate amendment expressed the Sense of 
the Senate that the National Guard Bureau should account for 
states that routinely recruit and retain members in excess of 
state authorizations when allocating full-time operational 
support duty personnel. We encourage the National Guard Bureau 
to consider this when allocating full-time duty support 
personnel.

require the Secretary of Defense to include measuring the 
combat readiness of combat units, including special operations 
forces, when developing gender-neutral occupational standards.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
523).
    The Senate recedes.
    We note that the development of gender-neutral occupational 
standards is vital in determining the occupational assignments 
of all members of the Armed Forces. We believe that studies 
being conducted by the Armed Forces are important to the 
development of these standards and should incorporate the best 
scientific practices available and that the Armed Forces should 
consider these studies carefully to ensure they do not result 
in unnecessary barriers to service and that decisions on 
occupational assignments be based on objective analysis and not 
negatively impact combat effectiveness, including units whose 
primary mission is to engage in direct ground combat at the 
tactical level.

which the commander of a military installation in the United 
States may authorize a member of the Armed Forces who is 
assigned to duty at the installation to carry a concealed 
personal firearm on the installation.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to establish a process by which the 
commander of a military installation in the United States, 
reserve center, recruiting center, or other defense facility 
may authorize a member of the Armed Forces who is assigned to 
the installation or facility to carry an appropriate firearm on 
the installation if the commander determines it necessary as a 
personal or force-protection measure. The amendment requires 
the Secretary of Defense to consider the views of senior 
leadership of military installations in establishing the 
process.
    We remain concerned about the response times to active 
shooter attacks on U.S. military installations and facilities. 
We believe that such response times should be diminished in 
order to protect U.S. servicemembers and their families. We 
believe that commanders of U.S. military installations and 
facilities should take steps to arm additional personnel in 
order to diminish response times to active shooter attacks if 
they believe that arming those personnel will contribute to 
that goal.

Establishment of breastfeeding policy for the Department of the Army

524).
    The House recedes.

Appeals by a victim based on an assertion that the victim's

amend section 1044e(b) of title 10, United States Code, to

Special Victims' Counsel, may have been undertaken in

require the Secretary of Defense to direct the military 
departments to implement additional selection requirements 
requiring adequate criminal justice experience before they are 
assigned as Special Victims' Counsel and to prescribe 
standardized training requirements. The House provision would 
also amend section 1044e(e) of title 10, United States Code, to 
require the Secretary of Defense to establish program 
performance measures and standards to provide centralized, 
standardized oversight and assessment of Special Victims' 
Counsel program effectiveness and client satisfaction. The 
amendment would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
require the military departments to conduct regular evaluations 
to ensure Special Victims' Counsel are assigned to locations 
that maximize the opportunity for face-to-face interactions 
between counsel and clients, and to develop effective means for 
interaction between counsel and clients when face-to-face 
communication is not feasible.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 548) that would 
amend section 856(b)(1) of title 10, United States Code 
(Article 56(b)(1), Uniform Code of Military Justice) to require 
a minimum punishment of a dismissal or dishonorable discharge 
and confinement for 2 years for servicemembers convicted of 
certain sex-related offenses.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Right of victims of offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice 
        to timely disclosure of certain materials and information in

would amend section 806b(a) of title 10, United States Code, 
(Article 6b(a), UCMJ) to require timely disclosure by the trial

public with court-martial docketing information and case 
filings.

    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Establishment of Office of Complex Investigations within the National 
        Guard Bureau

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 554) that 
would add a new section to Chapter 1101 of title 10, United 
States Code, that would establish an Office of Complex 
Investigations within the National Guard Bureau (NGB), with 
authority to assist the States in administrative investigations 
of sexual assault involving members of the National Guard, and 
circumstances involving members of the Guard where States have 
limited jurisdiction or authority and such other circumstances 
as the Chief of the NGB directs.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.

        Department of Defense medical treatment facilities in cases 
        involving any sex-related offense

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 555) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to issue uniform guidance with 
respect to mental health records of the alleged victim in any

practitioners nor acknowledged or released by the medical 
treatment facility except as ordered by a military judge or 
hearing officer described in section 832(b) of title 10, United 
States Code, (Article 32(b), Uniform Code of Military Justice).
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We understand that the release of mental health records can 
constitute an invasion of privacy. We are also aware that 
overly broad restrictions on release of mental health records 
could adversely impact necessary law enforcement investigations 
such as when the alleged victim is deceased. We direct the 
Secretary of Defense to issue specific, uniform guidance 
regarding release of mental health records to ensure an 
appropriate balance between the interests of law enforcement 
and victim privacy.

Public availability of records of certain proceedings under the Uniform 
        Code of Military Justice

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 556) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to make available to the 
public, electronically through a website of the Department of 
Defense, specified information for all proceedings under the 
Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) including special and 
general courts-martial, actions by a convening authority under 
section 860 of title 10, United States Code (Article 60, UCMJ), 
reviews conducted by the Courts of Criminal Appeals under

Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces under section 867 
(Article 67, UCMJ).
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We encourage the Secretary of Defense to adopt an 
electronic system with capabilities similar to those of the 
Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system to 
provide Special Victims' Counsel, victims, and the general 
public with court-martial docketing information and case 
filings.

Revision of Department of Defense Directive-Type memorandum 15-003,

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 557) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to revise the Department of 
Defense Directive-Type memorandum 15-003, relating to 
registered sex offender identification, notification, and 
monitoring in the Department of Defense.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-
22), enacted on May 29, 2015, amends the Sex Offender 
Registration and Notification Act to require the Secretary of 
Defense to provide to the Attorney General information to be 
included in the National Sex Offender Registry and the Dru 
Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website regarding certain 
sex offenders.

Sense of Congress on the service of military families and on sentencing 
        retirement-eligible members of the Armed Forces

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 557) that 
would express the sense of Congress that military juries should 
not face the difficult choice between imposing a fair sentence 
or protecting the benefits of a member of the Armed Forces for 
the sake of family members, that family members of retirement-
eligible members should not be adversely affected by the loss 
of the member's military benefits as a result of a court-
martial conviction, and welcoming the opportunity to work with 
the Department of Defense to develop authorities to improve the 
military justice system and protect benefits that military 
families have helped earn.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

dependents of members of the Armed Forces on military family 
readiness matters.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Direct employment pilot program for members of the National Guard and 
        Reserve

authorize a direct employment pilot program for members of 
theNational Guard and Reserve in the amount of up to $20.0 million per 
fiscal year.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Program regarding civilian credentialing for skills required for 
        certain military occupational specialties

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 568) that would 
amend section 558 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) by adding additional 
military occupational specialties to the pilot program required 
under that section.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Availability of cyber security and IT certifications for Department of 
        Defense personnel critical to network defense

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 570a) that would 
authorize the Department of Defense to utilize funds to obtain 
cyber security and IT certifications for Department of Defense 
personnel critical to network defense.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We recognize that industry cyber security and IT 
certifications may be helpful to a certain category of network 
operators and maintainers, but may not be comparable to the 
training required for more advanced network defense skills 
needed by critical personnel at the Department of Defense. We 
are concerned that the full scope of needs in this area as 
compared to the funding available are not yet well understood, 
nor is the contribution of these industry certifications to the 
training needed of the cyber mission forces. We believe that 
until those requirements are better understood, the current 
scope of funded certification activities should remain stable 
until there is a better established connection between cyber 
security and IT certifications and the skills required for 
specific positions with the Department of Defense. However, we 
note industry recognized cyber security and IT certifications 
may be beneficial for some Department of Defense personnel 
critical to network defense. Therefore, we encourage the 
Secretary of Defense to examine the needs of the Department and 
determine the extent and role industry cyber security and IT 
certifications should play in workforce management.

        military dependent students

honorable to conduct that occurred during the period for which

    The House recedes.

Posthumous commission as a captain in the regular Army for Milton 
        Holland

Holland, who, while serving as sergeant major of the 5th 
Regiment, United States Colored Infantry, was awarded the Medal 
of Honor in recognition of his action on September 29, 1864, at

express a sense of Congress supporting the decision of the Army 
to posthumously promote Master Sergeant (retired) Naomi Horwitz

Priority processing of applications for Transportation Worker 
        Identification Credentials for members undergoing discharge or 
        release from the Armed Forces

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 589) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to consult with the 
Secretary of Homeland Security to afford a priority in the 
processing of applications for a Transportation Worker 
Identification Credential (TWIC) submitted by members of the 
Armed Forces who are undergoing separation, discharge, or 
release from the Armed Forces under honorable conditions. The 
provision would also require the Secretary of Defense and the 
Secretary of Homeland Security to jointly submit a report on 
the implementation requirements of this provision not later 
than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We consider it unacceptable that servicemembers 
transitioning from Active Duty, and recent honorably discharged 
veterans, continue to report significant delays in processing 
time to be issued Transportation Workers Identification 
Credentials (TWIC). Further, the Transportation Security 
Administration requires Active-Duty personnel as well as 
veterans who recently transitioned from Active Duty to undergo 
and pay for a separate security review before issuing TWIC. 
Because many transitioning servicemembers are qualified and 
motivated to serve in the maritime industry, we expect the 
Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security 
to consult to eliminate processing delays and waive fees for 
transitioning servicemembers and for honorably discharged 
veterans.

        separating from the Armed Forces

for reduced prices on services, consumer products, and 
pharmaceuticals for individuals possessing a Recognition of 
Service ID Card.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We note that an alternative option exists for honorably 
discharged veterans to utilize state-issued ID cards that 
designate veteran status. Veterans in 44 states and the 
District of Columbia may apply for a driver's license or State-
issued ID card that designates veteran status. The remaining 
states (California, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, 
and Washington) are either pending legislation or have 
legislation that has been signed into law but is not yet 
effective. Additionally, since January 2014, honorably 
separated members of the Uniformed Services are able to obtain 
an ID card providing proof of military service through the 
joint DOD-VA eBenefits web portal.

Revised policy on network services for military services

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 591) that 
would generally limit the use of uniformed military personnel 
in the provision of network services for military installations 
in the continental United States.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We are concerned that the military services, particularly 
the Air Force, are devoting more resources and uniformed 
military personnel for the provision of network services than 
are necessary, considering the commercial network services 
capabilities that may be available at lower costs. While we 
believe the use of uniformed military personnel for network 
services is necessary in some cases, for example aboard ships 
or at expeditionary bases, there is less rationale for this use 
of uniform military personnel at permanent military 
installations within the continental United States.
    Therefore, we direct the Director of Cost Assessment and 
Program Evaluation (CAPE) to evaluate the potential savings for 
the Department of Defense in both resources and military end 
strength that could be achieved by increasing the use of 
commercial network services capabilities within the continental 
United States. CAPE shall provide a briefing on their findings, 
including any recommendations, to the congressional defense 
committees no later than March 1, 2016.

Affairs solely by reason of honorary veteran status.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Improved enumeration of members of the Armed Forces in any tabulation 
        of total population by Secretary of Commerce

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 593) that 
would amend section 1141 of title 13, United States Code, to 
require that the Secretary of Commerce, beginning with the 2020 
Decennial census of population, in taking any tabulation of 
total population by States, to take appropriate measures to 
ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, that all members of 
the Armed Forces deployed abroad on the date of taking such 
tabulation are (1) fully and accurately counted; and (2) 
properly attributed to the state in which their permanent duty 
station or homeport is located on such date.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

        Installation Access Card

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 596) that would

military departments should provide for the issuance of a Gold 
Star Installation Access Card to family members of deceased 
members of the Armed Forces in order to expedite access to 
installations for the purpose of obtaining on-base services and 
military benefits for which a Gold Star family member is 
eligible.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note that the Department of the Army has initiated a 
program to provide Gold Star Installation Access Cards to Gold 
Star family members and encourage the other military 
departments to do the same.

        Veterans Affairs

          Title VI--Compensation and Other Personnel Benefits


                     Subtitle A--Pay and Allowances


No fiscal year 2016 increase in basic pay for general and flag officers 
        (sec. 601)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 601) that 
would authorize a pay raise of 1.3 percent for all members of 
the uniformed services in pay grades O-6 and below effective 
January 1, 2016, and that would freeze the monthly basic pay 
for all general and flag officers, including for those whose 
monthly basic pay is limited to the rate of pay for level II of 
the Executive Schedule.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would remove 
reference to the pay raise for grades O-6 and below.
    We note that the President has authority under section 
1009(e) of title 37, United States Code, to implement the 1.3 
percent pay raise for pay grades O-6 and below in the absence 
of a provision specifically setting a different pay raise.

Limitation on eligibility for supplemental subsistence allowances to 
        members serving outside the United States and associated 
        territory (sec. 602)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 606) that 
would sunset on September 30, 2016, the supplemental 
subsistence allowance for servicemembers serving inside the 
United States. Servicemembers serving outside the United 
States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the United States 
Virgin Islands, or Guam would still be eligible to receive the 
supplemental subsistence allowance from the Department of 
Defense. The provision is based on the final report of the 
Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Phased-in modification of percentage of national average monthly cost 
        of housing usable in computation of basic allowance for housing 
        inside the United States (sec. 603)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 602) that 
would amend section 403(b) of title 37, United States Code, to 
authorize the Secretary of Defense to reduce the monthly amount 
of the basic allowance for housing (BAH) by up to 5 percent of 
the national average for housing for a given pay grade and 
dependency status. Servicemembers will not see this 
modification of their BAH until they change duty stations.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement contains the Senate provision with an 
amendment that would reduce the monthly amount of the BAH 
through a tiered system with 1 percent in 2015, 2 percent in 
2016, 3 percent in 2017, 4 percent in 2018, and 5 percent in 
2019 and each fiscal year thereafter. We strongly believe that 
this change to the calculation of BAH should not be used to 
justify the collection of out-of-pocket housing expenses, in 
excess of BAH, from servicemembers assigned to a housing unit 
acquired or constructed using the authority in subchapter IV of 
chapter 169 of title 10, United States Code.

Extension of authority to provide temporary increase in rates of basic 
        allowance for housing under certain circumstances (sec. 604)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 601) that would

of a regular or reserve component of the Armed Forces.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

would authorize transportation to transfer ceremonies for the 
family and next of kin of members of the Armed Forces who die 
overseas during humanitarian relief operations.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

     Subtitle D--Disability Pay, Retired Pay, and Survivor Benefits


                       Part I--Retired Pay Reform


Modernized retirement system for members of the uniformed services 
        (sec. 631)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 632) that would 
establish a new military retirement defined benefit that, when 
combined with the government-matching Thrift Savings Plan, as 
described elsewhere in this Act, would comprise a new hybrid 
retirement system. This new system would apply to new entrants 
after January 1, 2018, and to those already serving members who 
choose to opt-in. The new defined benefit would continue to 
apply only to those members who reach 20 years of service, with 
a multiplier rate of 2.0 times years of service rather than the 
current rate of 2.5 times years of service.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
632).
    The agreement includes the House provision with an 
amendment that would limit servicemembers who may opt-in to the 
new retirement system to those with less than 12 years of 
service. The agreement also includes an amendment that would 
repeal the modified cost-of-living adjustment for members under 
the age of 62 made by section 403 of the Bipartisan Budget Act 
of 2013 (Public Law 113-67; 127 Stat. 1186), as amended by 
section 10001(a) of the Department of Defense Appropriations 
Act, 2014 (division C of Public Law 113-76; 128 Stat. 151), 
section 2 of Public Law 113-82 (128 Stat. 1009), and section 
623 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-
291; 128 Stat. 3403).

Full participation for members of the uniformed services in the Thrift 
        Savings Plan (sec. 632)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 631) that would 
provide a government-matching Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) benefit 
for those who would enter uniformed service on or after October 
1, 2017, or a member serving before that date who makes a 
voluntary election to opt-in to the new plan. The TSP element 
would provide a 1 percent automatic agency contribution to all 
uniformed servicemembers upon reaching 60 days of service and 
continue until they would reach their second year of service. 
At 2 years of service, a member's TSP would vest and the 
Secretary concerned would begin matching TSP contributions up 
to 5 percent of that servicemember's base pay for a maximum 
government contribution totaling 6 percent of basic pay. 
Uniformed servicemembers would be automatically enrolled at 3 
percent matching contributions with the option to raise or 
lower their contribution level. TSP government-funded matching 
contributions would continue until a uniformed servicemember 
leaves or retires from the uniformed service.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
631) that would set the applicable initial entry date at 
January 1, 2018, provide a maximum government contribution of 5 
percent (with the first one percent being an automatic agency 
contribution), and stop the government match at 20 years of 
service.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with an 
amendment to provide government matching contributions in the 
TSP through 26 years of service. We note that all uniformed 
servicemembers who would enter and serve prior to the date of 
implementation of the modernized retirement system would be 
grandfathered into the old retirement system.

Lump sum payments of certain retired pay (sec. 633)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 633) that 
would allow the voluntary election of lump sum payments of 
retired pay for those under the modernized retirement system 
who serve 20 or more years of service. Members who elect to 
take the lump sum may choose to take 100 percent or 50 percent 
of the discounted present value of their defined retirement 
benefit that would be due to them prior to becoming fully 
eligible for Social Security.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would allow 
members who elect to take the lump sum an option of choosing to 
take 50 percent or 25 percent of the discounted present value 
of their defined retirement benefit that would be due to them 
prior to becoming fully eligible for Social Security.
    We strongly urge the Secretaries concerned to coordinate 
with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs on counseling, or 
otherwise informing, new retirees on the impact this election 
may have on their eligibility for certain benefits administered 
by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

Continuation pay after 12 years of service for members of the uniformed 
        services participating in the modernized retirement systems 
        (sec. 634)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 633) that would 
direct the Secretary concerned to provide continuation pay to 
servicemembers serving under the new military retirement system 
described above who reach 12 years of service, contingent upon 
such members agreeing to serve another 4 years of service.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
634).
    The Senate recedes.

committees of Congress on March 1, 2016.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

later than March 1, 2016, to the Committees on Armed Services 
of the Senate and the House of Representatives, setting forth a 
plan to privatize the Defense Commissary System, in whole or in

of the United States to provide a report that assesses the plan 
of the Department to privatize the Defense Commissary System to 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives within 120 days following submission of 
thereport by the Secretary of Defense. Following submission of the 
Comptroller General's assessment of the Department's commissary 
privatization plan, the Department would be required to carry out a 2-
year pilot program at no fewer than five commissaries in the largest 
markets of the commissary system to assess the feasibility and 
advisability of the plan. Within 180 days after completion of the pilot 
program, the Secretary of Defense would submit a report to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives that provides an assessment of the commissary 
privatization plan.
    The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec. 
1025) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report, not later than February 1, 2016, to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
assessing the viability of privatizing the commissary system, 
in part or in whole. The Secretary would submit the report 
prior to development of any plans or pilot program to privatize 
commissaries or the commissary system. The provision would also 
require the Comptroller General of the United States to provide 
a report that assesses the plan of the Department to privatize 
the Defense Commissary System to the committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than May 1, 2016. The provision would make Section 652 of 
the Senate amendment null and void.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
not later than March 1, 2016, that provides a comprehensive 
plan to make delivery of commissary and exchange benefits 
budget neutral by October 1, 2018. The amendment would also 
require the Comptroller General of the United States to provide 
a report that assesses the Department's plan to make the 
commissary and exchange benefit budget neutral to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives within 120 days following submission of the 
report by the Secretary of Defense. The amendment would 
authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct one or more pilot 
programs to evaluate processes and methods for achieving budget 
neutral commissary and exchange benefits.

        Surcharge, Non-appropriated Fund, and Privately-financed Major 
        Construction Program (sec. 652)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 653) that 
would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
examine the policies and procedures of the Secretary of Defense 
to ensure timely notification of construction projects proposed 
to be funded through the Commissary Surcharge, Non-appropriated 
Fund, and Privately-financed Major Construction Program of the 
Department of Defense and to submit to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a 
report containing an assessment of this program no later than 
180 days after enactment of this Act.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

                       Subtitle F--Other Matters


Improvement of financial literacy and preparedness of members of the 
        Armed Forces (sec. 661)

    The House bill contained provision (sec. 651) that would 
require financial literacy training for servicemembers upon 
arrival at the first duty station and upon arrival at each 
subsequent duty station for servicemembers below the pay grade 
of E-5 in the case of enlisted personnel and below the pay 
grade of O-4 in the case of officers. The provision would 
further require financial literacy training for each 
servicemember at various career and life milestones. The 
provision would also direct the Department of Defense to 
include a financial literacy and preparedness survey in the 
status of forces survey. The provision would also express the 
sense of the Congress that the Secretary of Defense should work 
with other departments, agencies, and nonprofit organizations 
to improve financial literacy and preparedness with support 
from the service secretaries. This provision was recommended by 
the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization 
Commission.
    The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (secs. 
581, 582, and 583).
    The agreement includes the House provision with a technical 
amendment.

Recordation of obligations for installment payments of incentive pays, 
        allowances, and similar benefits when payment is due (sec. 662)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 587) that 
would provide express authority for the long-established 
practice of the Department of Defense of obligating bonus and 
special and incentive pay installment payments at the time 
payment is due and payable. This provision is in response to a 
recent U.S. Government Accountability Office opinion, Comp. 
Gen. B-325526--Obligation of Bonuses under Military Service 
Agreements, July 16, 2014, which concluded that the Department 
of Defense cedes fiscal exposure to servicemembers when it 
enters into such agreements and should change its obligational 
practices to obligate the entire bonus amount when the 
agreement is signed.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

        live together

limit the basic allowance for housing (BAH) for dual military 
married couples who are assigned within normal commuting 
distance from each other to one allowance at the with dependent 
rate, for the member with the higher pay grade. The provision 
would also limit BAH for uniformed servicemembers above E-3 
residing with other uniformed servicemembers to 75 percent of 
their otherwise prevailing rate, or the E-4 without dependents 
rate, whichever is greater. Affected members would see no 
reduction in their BAH as a result of this provision so long as 
they maintain uninterrupted eligibility to receive BAH within a 
particular housing area.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We intend to reform this policy next year. We direct the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report no later than March 1, 
2016, to the Senate and House Committees on Armed Services 
containing an assessment and recommendations of the Secretary 
on how to amend the current BAH system to most accurately 
capture actual housing costs as a limiting element of the basic 
allowance for housing, to include an assessment of BAH as 
applied in particular circumstances where the current benefit 
may over- or under-compensate individuals based on their actual 
housing costs, to include single members of the armed forces 
and those who share accommodations with other members receiving 
the benefit. In developing these recommendations, the Secretary 
shall consider the primary purpose of the benefit to offset 
housing costs of uniformed members incurred by virtue of their 
service.

Repeal of inapplicability of modification of basic allowance for 
        housing to benefits under the laws administered by the 
        Secretary of Veterans Affairs

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 605) that 
would repeal subsection (b) of section 604 of the Carl Levin

Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) effective January 
1, 2016.
    The House bill contained no similar amendment.
    The Senate recedes.
    We note that the Senate and House Veterans Affairs 
Committees intend to take up this matter. If it is not 
addressed by May 2016, it will be re-considered for the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.

Policies of the Department of Defense on travel of next of kin to 
        participate in the dignified transfer of remains of members of 
        the Armed Forces and civilian employees of the Department of 
        Defense who die overseas

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 624) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to review the current 
policies of the Department of Defense regarding travel 
authorization for family and next of kin of servicemembers and 
civilian employees of the Department of Defense.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We note that the Department of Defense has notified the 
congressional defense committees it is already conducting the 
review described in this provision. Further, the agreement 
includes a separate provision to make the necessary changes in 
law for the authorization for travel to the dignified transfer 
ceremony for family and next of kin of members of the Armed 
Forces who die overseas in support of humanitarian operations. 
We expect the Secretary, upon conclusion of the aforementioned 
review, to make regulatory changes in order to address 
inequities within the system, as the Secretary determines are 
appropriate.

Authority for retirement flexibility for members of the uniformed 
        services

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 635) that 
would give the Secretary concerned the flexibility to modify

supply for the region and submits a report on the study to 
Congress.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

        exchange systems pending submission of required report on

prohibit the Secretary of Defense from taking action to replace 
or consolidate the defense commissary and exchange systems 
before submission of the report on the defense commissary 
system required by section 634 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291).
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Transitional compensation and other benefits for dependents of members 
        of the Armed Forces ineligible to receive retired pay as a 
        result of court-martial sentence

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 642) that 
would add a new section 1059a to title 10, United States Code, 
to authorize the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
Homeland Security to carry out a program that would authorize 
monthly transitional compensation, including commissary and 
exchange store access, to dependents or former dependents of a 
member of the Armed Forces who is ineligible to receive retired 
pay as a result of a court-martial sentence. The provision 
would allow the secretary concerned to determine that a 
dependent or former dependent would not be eligible for 
transitional compensation if that person was an active 
participant in the conduct constituting the offense under 
chapter 47 of title 10.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Commissary system matters

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 651) that 
would authorize the Department of Defense to treat second 
destination transportation costs for commissary goods and 
supplies overseas like transportation costs within the United 
States by transferring those costs to the commissary patron in 
the price of goods. In addition, the provision would authorize 
the Department to transfer the cost of obtaining supplies 
required for the daily operations of commissaries and store-
level offices dedicated to supporting commissary operations 
from the defense working capital fund to the surcharge fund. 
The provision would also authorize the Defense Commissary 
Agency to establish the sales price of merchandise sold in 
commissary stores in amounts sufficient to finance the purchase 
of operating supplies and replenishment of merchandise 
inventories.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Availability for purchase of Department of Veterans Affairs memorial 
        headstones and markers for members of reserve components who 
        performed certain training

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 652) that would 
amend section 2306 of title 38, United States Code, to require 
the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to make available for 
purchase a memorial headstone or marker for the marked or 
unmarked grave of an individual who, as a member of the 
National Guard or reserve component, performed inactive duty 
training or Active Duty for training for at least 6 years. The 
individual must not have served on Active Duty and must 
otherwise be eligible on account of the nature of the 
individual's separation from the Armed Forces or other causes.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We understand that members of the reserve component who 
wish to purchase a memorial headstone or marker can purchase a 
nearly identical headstone or marker from private vendors.

                   Title VII--Health Care Provisions


           Subtitle A--TRICARE and Other Health Care Benefits


Access to TRICARE Prime for certain beneficiaries (sec. 701)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 705) that would 
amend section 732(c)(3) of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to authorize an 
eligible TRICARE beneficiary to make a one-time election for 
TRICARE Prime if the beneficiary: 1) resides in a location in 
which TRICARE Prime is no longer available because of the 
location in which the beneficiary resides; and 2) the 
beneficiary resided within 100 miles of a military medical 
treatment facility as of December 25, 2013. This provision 
would not apply to an affected eligible beneficiary who 
resides, as of December 25, 2013, greater than 100 miles from a 
military medical treatment facility and is an eligible 
beneficiary by reason of service in the Army, Navy, Air Force, 
or Marine Corps.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

Modifications of cost-sharing for the TRICARE pharmacy benefits program 
        (sec. 702)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 702) that 
would require modifications of prescription drug co-pays for 
the TRICARE pharmacy benefits program for years 2016 through 
2025. After 2025, the Department of Defense (DOD) would 
establish co-pay amounts equal to the co-pay amounts for the 
previous year adjusted by an amount, if any, to reflect 
increases in costs of pharmaceutical agents and prescription 
dispensing fees. With this provision, beneficiaries would 
continue to receive prescription drugs at no cost in military 
medical treatment facilities, and there would be no changes to 
co-pays for survivors of members who died on Active Duty or for 
a disabled member retired under chapter 61 of title 10, United 
States Code, and their family members.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would modify 
prescription drug co-pays beginning in 2016.
    We agree that comprehensive reform of the military health 
care system is essential and commit to working with the 
Department of Defense in fiscal year 2017 to begin reforming 
the military healthcare system. This reform must improve 
access, quality and the experience of care for all 
beneficiaries; maintain medical readiness of the military 
health professionals; and ensure the long-term viability and 
cost effectiveness of the military health care system. The 
current system has not kept pace with the best practices and 
latest innovations in the commercial healthcare market and will 
not meet the future needs of the DOD, the servicemembers, 
families, or retirees. In order to modernize and improve the 
military healthcare system, we agree that all elements of the 
current system must be re-evaluated, and that increases to fees 
and co-pays will be a necessary part of such a comprehensive 
reform effort.

Expansion of continued health benefits coverage to include discharged 
        and released members of the Selected Reserve (sec. 703)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 703) that 
would amend section 1078a of title 10, United States Code, to 
authorize a member of the Selected Reserve, who is discharged 
or released under other than adverse conditions from service in 
the Selected Reserve, to be eligible to enroll, for a period of 
18 months, in the Department of Defense program of continued 
health benefits coverage.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
member of the Selected Reserve to be enrolled in TRICARE 
Reserve Select immediately preceding the discharge of the 
member.

Access to health care under the TRICARE program for beneficiaries of 
        TRICARE Prime (sec. 704)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 711) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that covered 
TRICARE beneficiaries obtain health care appointments within 
access standards and wait-time goals established by the 
Department of Defense for primary care and specialty care or, 
if the beneficiary is unable to obtain an appointment within 
the wait-time goals, to offer the beneficiary an appointment 
with a contracted health care provider. The provision would 
also require the Secretary to publish health care access 
standards in the Federal Register and on a publicly accessible 
Internet web site of the Department of Defense and to publish 
appointment wait-times for primary and specialty care on the 
publicly accessible Internet web site of each military medical 
treatment facility.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to ensure that TRICARE Prime beneficiaries 
obtain health care appointments within health care access 
standards established by the Secretary, including through 
health care providers in the TRICARE preferred provider 
network. The amendment would also require the Secretary to 
publish health care access standards in the Federal Register 
and on a publicly accessible Internet web site of the 
Department of Defense.

Expansion of reimbursement for smoking cessation services for certain 
        TRICARE beneficiaries (sec. 705)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 704) that 
would amend section 713(f) of the Duncan Hunter National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-
417) to expand reimbursement for smoking cessation services for 
certain TRICARE beneficiaries.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

                 Subtitle B--Health Care Administration


Waiver of recoupment of erroneous payments caused by administrative 
        error under the TRICARE program (sec. 711)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 715) that 
would amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, to 
authorize the Secretary of Defense to waive recoupment of 
payment from a covered TRICARE beneficiary who has benefited 
from an erroneous TRICARE payment in which all of the following 
apply: (1) the payment was made due to an administrative error 
by an employee of the Department of Defense or a TRICARE 
program contractor; (2) the covered beneficiary, or in the case 
of a minor, the parent or guardian of the covered beneficiary, 
reasonably believed the covered beneficiary was entitled to the 
benefit of such payment; (3) the covered beneficiary relied on 
the expectation of benefit entitlement; and (4) the Secretary 
determines that a waiver of recoupment of such payment is 
necessary to prevent an injustice. In the case of 
administrative error on the part of a TRICARE contractor, the 
provision would require the Secretary to impose financial 
responsibility on the contractor for the erroneous payment.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Publication of data on patient safety, quality of care, satisfaction, 
        and health outcome measures under the TRICARE program (sec. 
        712)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 732) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to publish public data 
on measures used to assess patient safety, quality of care, 
patient satisfaction, and health outcomes on the primary 
Internet web site of the Department of Defense and on the 
primary Internet web site of that facility that provided the 
health care.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
section 1073b of title 10, United States Code, to require the 
Secretary of Defense to publish appropriate data on measures 
used to assess patient safety, quality of care, patient 
satisfaction, and health outcomes of each military medical 
treatment facility on a publicly available Internet web site of 
the Department of Defense. The provision would also require 
data for health care provided by a military medical treatment 
facility to be accessible on the primary Internet web site of 
that facility. The provision would prohibit the Department 
publishing any data related to risk management activities of 
the Department.

Expansion of evaluation of effectiveness of the TRICARE program to 
        include information on patient safety, quality of care, and 
        access to care at military medical treatment facilities (sec. 
        713)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 733) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than March 1, 2016, and each year 
thereafter, a comprehensive report on patient safety, quality 
of care, and access to care at military medical treatment 
facilities.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
section 717(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106) to require the Department 
of Defense to include data on patient safety, quality of care, 
and access to care at each military medical treatment facility 
in the annual report to Congress on TRICARE program 
effectiveness.

Portability of health plans under the TRICARE program (sec. 714)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 712) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that 
beneficiaries who are covered under a TRICARE health plan can 
seamlessly access health care under that health plan in each 
TRICARE program region.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Joint uniform formulary for transition of care (sec. 715)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 701) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans 
Affairs to establish a joint uniform formulary that would 
include pain, sleep disorder, psychiatric drugs, and drugs for 
other conditions critical for transition of a servicemember 
from treatment furnished by the Department of Defense to 
treatment furnished by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Licensure of mental health professionals in TRICARE program (sec. 716)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 712) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that a qualified 
mental health professional is eligible for reimbursement under 
the TRICARE program as a certified mental health counselor by 
meeting certain qualification criteria. The provision would 
also establish a special rule for certain practicing mental 
health professionals to deem them to be qualified mental health 
professionals during the period preceding January 1, 2027, even 
though those professionals do not meet the established 
qualification criteria in the provision. The House bill also 
contained a provision (sec. 725) that would express a sense of 
Congress that the Department of Defense should continue to 
support members of the Armed Forces and their families by 
providing family counseling and individual counseling services 
that reduce the symptoms of post-traumatic stress and other 
behavioral health disorders and empowers members to be 
emotionally available to their spouses and children.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provisions.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would deem 
certain mental health professionals eligible for reimbursement 
under the TRICARE program during the period preceding January 
1, 2021.
    We note that the Department of Defense published a final 
rule to implement the TRICARE Certified Mental Health Counselor 
provider as a qualified mental health provider authorized to 
independently diagnose and treat TRICARE beneficiaries and 
receive reimbursement for services. Counselors must possess a 
master's or higher-level degree from a Council for 
Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs 
accredited mental health counseling program of education and 
pass the National Clinical Mental Health Counseling 
Examination. We consider these reasonable criteria to help 
ensure TRICARE beneficiaries obtain mental health care from 
qualified counselors and do not believe another extension of 
the transition for qualification as a TRICARE Certified Mental 
Health Counselor beyond the extension in this provision would 
be advisable.
    Additionally, we agree that the Department of Defense 
should continue to support members of the Armed Forces and 
their families by providing readily available family and 
individual counseling services that reduce the symptoms of 
post-traumatic stress and other behavioral health disorders and 
empower members to be available emotionally to their spouses 
and children. We believe the Department should consider 
industry standards established by the medical community when 
developing standards for family and individual counseling 
services at military installations.

Designation of certain non-Department mental health care providers with 
        knowledge relating to treatment of members of the Armed Forces 
        (sec. 717)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 716) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense, not later than 1 year 
after enactment of this Act, to develop a system by which any 
non-Department mental health care provider that meets 
eligibility criteria relating to knowledge and understanding of 
military culture and knowledge of evidence-based mental health 
treatments approved by the Secretary, would receive a mental 
health provider readiness designation from the Department. The 
provision would also require the Secretary to establish and 
update a provider list and maintain a publicly available 
registry of mental health providers receiving such designation.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Comprehensive standards and access to contraception counseling for 
        members of the Armed Forces (sec. 718)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 714) that 
would require the Department of Defense to provide, through 
clinical practice guidelines, current and evidence-based 
standards of care regarding contraception methods and 
counseling to all health care providers employed by the 
Department and to ensure service women have access to 
comprehensive contraception counseling prior to deployment and 
throughout their military careers. The provision would also 
require the Secretary of Defense to establish a uniform, 
standard curriculum to be used in family planning education 
programs for all members of the Armed Forces.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

                 Subtitle C--Reports and Other Matters


Provision of transportation of dependent patients relating to 
        obstetrical anesthesia services (sec. 721)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 726) that would 
amend section 1040(a)(2) of title 10, United States Code, to 
strike the expiration date regarding the authority to transport 
dependent patients relating to obstetrical anesthesia services.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Extension of authority for DOD-VA Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund 
        (sec. 722)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 721) that would 
amend section 8111 of title 38, United States Code, to extend 
the authority for the DOD-VA Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund 
through September 30, 2020.
    The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
719).
    The agreement includes this provision.

Extension of authority for Joint Department of Defense-Department of 
        Veterans Affairs Medical Facility Demonstration Fund (sec. 723)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 722) that would 
amend section 1704(e) of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), as amended by section 
722 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-
291), to extend the authority for the Joint Department of 
Defense-Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Facility 
Demonstration Fund from September 30, 2016, to September 30, 
2017.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
718).
    The House recedes.

Limitation on availability of funds for Office of the Secretary of 
        Defense (sec. 724)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 713) that would 
amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, by inserting 
a new section after section 1073b, to prohibit the Secretary of 
Defense from realigning or restructuring a military medical 
treatment facility (MTF) until 90 days following the date the 
Secretary submits a report to the congressional defense 
committees on the proposed restructuring or realignment of the 
MTF.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit to 75 
percent the obligation or expenditure of funds available for 
fiscal year 2016 for the office of the Secretary of Defense 
until the date on which the Secretary of Defense submits to the 
congressional defense committees the report required by section 
713(a)(2) of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public 
Law 113-291). Without that report and the subsequent required 
assessment of the report by the Comptroller General of the 
United States, we remain concerned that the Department has not 
fully considered all relevant factors that may impact the 
availability and delivery of health care services to eligible 
beneficiaries in its study of military health system 
modernization. We expect the Department to make available, upon 
request, all available data regarding any decisions to 
eliminate health care services and to relocate health care 
personnel from military medical treatment facilities in the 
future.

Pilot program on urgent care under TRICARE program (sec. 725)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 701) that 
would authorize a covered beneficiary under the TRICARE program 
to access up to four urgent care visits per year without the 
need to obtain pre-authorization for such visits.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to carry out a 3-year pilot program to 
allow covered beneficiaries under the TRICARE program to access 
urgent care visits without the need to obtain pre-authorization 
for those visits. The amendment would require the Secretary to 
submit two interim reports and one final report on the pilot 
program to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives.
    We note that current TRICARE policy requires TRICARE Prime 
beneficiaries to obtain pre-authorization for urgent care 
visits. This administrative burden encourages beneficiaries to 
utilize emergency departments inappropriately for urgent care 
needs. We believe this pilot program would help beneficiaries 
choose the most appropriate source for the health care they 
need and potentially lower health care costs for the Department 
of Defense.

Pilot program on incentive programs to improve health care provided 
        under the TRICARE program (sec. 726)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 720) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot 
program to assess value-based incentive programs to encourage 
institutional and individual health care providers under the 
TRICARE program to improve quality of care, experience of care, 
and health of beneficiaries.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit interim reports on the pilot 
program at 1-year intervals following implementation of the 
program and a final report on the program by September 30, 
2019.

Limitation on availability of funds for Department of Defense 
        Healthcare Management Systems Modernization (sec. 727)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 723) that would 
limit obligation or expenditure of funds for fiscal year 2016 
for the Department of Defense Healthcare Management Systems 
Modernization until the date on which the Secretary of Defense 
makes the certification required by section 713(g)(2) of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public 
Law 113-66).
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 738) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
Veterans Affairs to submit a report to Congress on 
interoperability between electronic health records of their 
Departments.
    The Senate recedes.

Submittal of information to Secretary of Veterans Affairs relating to 
        exposure to airborne hazards and open burn pits (sec. 728)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 739) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
Secretary of Veterans Affairs, not later than 180 days after 
the date of enactment of this Act and periodically thereafter, 
information available to the Secretary of Defense to supplement 
and support information in the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn 
Pit Registry established by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. 
The provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
include information on any research and surveillance activities 
conducted by the Department of Defense to evaluate incidence 
and prevalence of respiratory illnesses to servicemembers 
exposed to open burn pits during deployments.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Plan for development of procedures to measure data on mental health 
        care provided by the Department of Defense (sec. 729)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 713) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that all 
primary care and mental health care providers of the Department 
of Defense receive, or have already received, initial evidence-
based training on the recognition, assessment, and management 
of individuals at risk for suicide and any additional training 
that may be required based on evidence-based changes in mental 
health practice. Within 1 year of the date of enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary would be required to provide a report to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives that assesses the mental health workforce of 
the Department and the long-term mental health care needs of 
servicemembers and their dependents. The provision would also 
require the Secretary to develop procedures to measure mental 
health data relating to outcomes, variations in outcomes among 
military medical treatment facilities, and barriers to 
implementation of clinical practice guidelines and other 
evidence-based treatments by mental health providers of the 
Department of Defense.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a plan 
for the Department of Defense to develop procedures to compile 
and assess data relating to: (1) outcomes for mental health 
care provided by the Department; (2) variations in such 
outcomes among different medical facilities of the Department; 
and (3) barriers, if any, to the implementation by mental 
health care providers of the clinical practice guidelines and 
other evidence-based treatments and approaches recommended for 
such providers.
    We are aware that the Department has policies and 
procedures in place that require primary care providers to 
receive annual training on suicide prevention, and that the 
Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs 
submitted a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives in April 2015, on a 
coordinated, unified plan to ensure adequate mental health 
counseling resources to address the long-term needs of all 
members of the Armed Forces, veterans, and their families.

Report on plans to improve experience with and eliminate performance 
        variability of health care provided by the Department of 
        Defense (sec. 730)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 734) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than 180 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, a comprehensive report describing the 
current and future plans, with estimated completion dates, of 
the Department of Defense to improve the experience of care of 
beneficiaries and to eliminate performance variability for 
health care provided in military medical treatment facilities 
and in the TRICARE purchased care network. This provision would 
also require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
submit, not later than 180 days after the Secretary submits the 
comprehensive report, a report to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives that 
assesses the report of the Secretary of Defense.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Comptroller General study on gambling and problem gambling behavior 
        among members of the Armed Forces (sec. 731)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 740) that 
would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
conduct a study on gaming facilities at military installations 
and problem gambling among members of the Armed Forces, and to 
submit a report, within 1 year of the date of enactment of this 
Act, to the congressional defense committees.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted


Access to broad range of methods of contraception approved by the Food 
        and Drug Administration for members of the Armed Forces and 
        military dependents at military treatment facilities

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 702) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that every military 
medical treatment facility has a sufficient stock of a broad 
range of contraceptive methods approved by the Food and Drug 
Administration to be able to dispense any contraceptive method 
to service women and other female beneficiaries eligible for 
healthcare in those facilities.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note that military medical treatment facilities stock 
and dispense a broad range of contraceptive methods approved by 
the Food and Drug Administration to service women and other 
eligible female beneficiaries. We encourage the Department of 
Defense to ensure that deployed service women have access to 
prescription contraceptives throughout the duration of their 
deployments.

Access to contraceptive method for duration of deployment

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 703) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that service women 
who use prescription contraceptives receive, prior to 
deployment, a sufficient supply of those contraceptives for the 
duration of their deployments.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We expect the Secretary of Defense to ensure that service 
women who use contraceptives have contraceptives available 
throughout their deployment. This can be accomplished by use of 
the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy program or other means.

Access to infertility treatment for members of the Armed Forces and 
        dependents

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 704) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
service secretaries, to provide reproductive counseling and 
infertility treatments, including continuation of infertility 
services during a change of duty station relocation, to members 
and dependents of members of the Armed Forces.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note that section 729 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) requires the Secretary of 
Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees assessing the access of members of the Armed Forces 
and their dependents to reproductive counseling and infertility 
treatments. The Department of Defense has not yet provided this 
report to the committees. We believe that a thorough study of 
this report must be done prior to enacting legislation on this 
issue.

Pilot program on treatment of members of the Armed Forces for post-
        traumatic stress disorder related to military sexual trauma

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 705) that 
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot 
program to award grants to community partners to provide 
intensive outpatient programs to treat members of the Armed 
Forces suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder resulting 
from military sexual trauma, including treatment for substance 
abuse, depression, and other issues related to those 
conditions.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We note that the Services already have capabilities to 
provide intensive outpatient services for substance abuse 
rehabilitation and behavioral health disorders. The Navy has 12 
substance abuse rehabilitation programs located at intensive 
outpatient program sites in the United States and overseas, and 
the Air Force has one program. The Army is establishing 
intensive outpatient programs at 17 military medical treatment 
facilities by fiscal year 2016, and these programs will offer 
multi-week intensive behavioral health services to treat 
patients with severe behavioral health conditions like post-
traumatic stress disorder.

Unified medical command

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 711) that would 
amend chapter 6 of Title 10, United States Code, to require the 
President, through the Secretary of Defense and with the advice 
and consent of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to 
establish a unified command for medical operations to provide 
medical services to the Armed Forces and other eligible health 
care beneficiaries.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Pilot program for operation of network of retail pharmacies under 
        TRICARE pharmacy benefits program

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 714) that would 
authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot program 
to evaluate whether a preferred retail pharmacy network will 
generate cost savings for the Department of Defense.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We observe that the Department of Defense (DOD) already 
operates a large preferred retail pharmacy network and 
prescriptions filled in those pharmacies are subject to the 
federal ceiling price policy established under section 1074g(f) 
of title 10, United States Code.
    We note with concern that DOD did not proactively monitor 
the effects of the transition of maintenance medications 
specific to affected beneficiaries from retail pharmacies to 
mail order and military medical treatment facility (MTF) 
pharmacies, including important effects such as availability of 
medications, timeliness and accuracy of prescriptions filled, 
and satisfaction for the TRICARE for Life pharmacy pilot 
established by section 716 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239). 
Accordingly, for the first 12 months following the expansion of 
the pilot program requirements to additional TRICARE 
beneficiaries as of October 1, 2015, we direct the DOD to 
provide to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives a quarterly report detailing the 
results of monitoring the effects of the transition from retail 
pharmacies to mail order and MTF pharmacies on affected 
beneficiaries, including actions taken to address any issues 
identified as a result of these monitoring efforts. Each 
quarterly report shall be submitted no later than 30 days after 
the end of the respective quarter of the fiscal year.

Limitation on conversion of military medical and dental positions to 
        civilian medical and dental positions

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 717) that 
would amend chapter 49 of title 10, United States Code, to 
provide that a medical or dental position within the Department 
of Defense may not be converted to a civilian medical or dental 
position unless the Secretary of Defense determines that: (1) 
the position is not a military essential position; (2) 
conversion of the position would not result in the degradation 
of medical or dental care or the medical or dental readiness of 
the Armed Forces; and (3) conversion of the position to a 
civilian medical or dental position is more cost effective than 
retaining the position as a military medical or dental 
position, consistent with Department of Defense Instruction 
7041.04.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Primary blast injury research

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 724) that would 
require the peer-reviewed Psychological Health and Traumatic 
Brain Injury Research Program of the Department of Defense to 
conduct a study on blast injury mechanics covering a broad 
range of blast injury conditions, including traumatic brain 
injury.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Publication of certain information on health care provided by the 
        Department of Defense through the Hospital Compare website of 
        the Department of Health and Human Services

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 731) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a 
memorandum of understanding with the Secretary of Health and 
Human Services to report, and make publicly available through 
the Hospital Compare Internet web site of the Department of 
Health and Human Services, information on quality of care and 
health outcomes regarding patients treated at military medical 
treatment facilities.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We strongly encourage the Department of Defense to 
demonstrate greater transparency of quality of care and health 
outcomes data by making such data available on the Hospital 
Compare web site of the Department of Health and Human 
Services.

Report on plan to improve pediatric care and related services for 
        children of members of the Armed Forces

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 735) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than 180 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, a report setting forth the plan of the 
Department to improve pediatric care and related services for 
children of members of the Armed Forces.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We encourage the Department of Defense to continue 
improvement in the delivery of healthcare services to pediatric 
patients, especially those patients with severe disabilities, 
and to correct deficiencies noted in the report from the 
Secretary of Defense required by Section 735 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-
239). We direct the Department of Defense to include pediatric 
health outcome measures in the annual report to Congress on 
TRICARE program effectiveness.

Comptroller General report on use of quality of care metrics at 
        military treatment facilities

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 737) that 
would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
submit a report, not later than 1 year after the date of 
enactment of this Act, to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives on the Department 
of Defense's use of quality of care metrics in military medical 
treatment facilities.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We note a requirement, in a separate section of this bill, 
for the Comptroller General of United States to submit a report 
assessing the Department's plans to improve health outcomes, to 
create health value, and to ensure the provision of quality 
health care in military medical treatment facilities and 
through purchased care.

Report on implementation of data security and transmission standards 
        for electronic health records

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 741) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
Veterans Affairs to submit a joint report to Congress by June 
1, 2016, on the implementation of security and data 
transmission standards by the Departments in the deployment of 
new or updated electronic health records.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

  Title VIII--Acquisition Policy, Acquisition Management, and Related 
                                Matters


             Subtitle A--Acquisition Policy and Management


Required review of acquisition-related functions of the Chiefs of Staff 
        of the Armed Forces (sec. 801)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 802) that would 
require the Chief of Staff of the Army, the Chief of Naval 
Operations, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and the 
Commandant of the Marine Corps to review their current 
authorities provided in sections 3033, 5033, 5043, and 8033 of 
title 10, United States Code, and other relevant statutes and 
regulations related to defense acquisitions for the purpose of 
developing such recommendations that the Chief concerned or the 
Commandant considers necessary to further or strengthen the 
role of the Chief concerned or the Commandant in the 
development of requirements, acquisition processes, and the 
associated budget practices of the Department of Defense.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Role of Chiefs of Staff in the acquisition process (sec. 802)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 801) that 
would amend section 2547 of title 10, United States Code, to 
enhance the role of Chiefs of Staff in the defense acquisition 
process. This provision would reinforce the role and 
responsibilities of the Chiefs of Staff in decisions regarding 
the balancing of resources and priorities, and associated 
tradeoffs among cost, schedule, technical feasibility, and 
performance on major defense acquisition programs.
    The House bill had no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Expansion of rapid acquisition authority (sec. 803)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 802) that 
would amend section 806(c) of the Bob Stump National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (10 U.S.C. 2302 note), 
as amended by section 811 of the Ronald W. Reagan National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Public Law 108-
375). This provision would enhance the rapid acquisition 
authority currently provided to the Secretary of Defense by 
allowing the Secretary to use this authority for two new 
categories of supplies and associated support services that the 
Secretary determines: (1) are urgently needed and impact an 
ongoing or anticipated contingency operation that, if left 
unfulfilled, could potentially result in loss of life or 
critical mission failure; or (2) are urgently needed to 
eliminate a deficiency that as the result of a cyber attack has 
resulted in critical mission failure, the loss of life, 
property destruction, or economic effects, or is likely to 
result in critical mission failure, the significant loss of 
life, property destruction, or economic effects.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Middle tier of acquisition for rapid prototyping and rapid fielding 
        (sec. 804)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 803) that 
would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics to issue guidance for an expedited 
and streamlined ``middle tier'' of acquisition programs that 
are intended to be completed within 5 years. These programs 
would be distinctive from ``rapid acquisitions'' that are 
generally completed within 6 months to 2 years and 
``traditional'' acquisitions that last much longer than 5 
years.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Use of alternative acquisition paths to acquire critical national 
        security capabilities (sec. 805)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 805) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to establish procedures 
and guidelines for alternative acquisition pathways to acquire 
capital assets and services that meet critical national 
security needs.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
procedures to be developed within 180 days.

Secretary of Defense waiver of acquisition laws to acquire vital 
        national security capabilities (sec. 806)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 806) that 
would allow the Secretary of Defense to waive acquisition law 
or regulation for the purpose of acquiring a capability that is 
in the vital interest of the United States and is not otherwise 
available to the Armed Forces of the United States. The 
Secretary shall notify the congressional defense committees at 
least 30 days before exercising the waiver authority and 
designate a senior official who shall be personally responsible 
and accountable for the rapid and effective acquisition and 
deployment of the needed capability.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Acquisition authority of the Commander of United States Cyber Command 
        (sec. 807)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 807) that 
would authorize limited acquisition authority for the Commander 
of United States Cyber Command (CYBERCOM).
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
the Commander of CYBERCOM may obligate and expend up to $75.0 
million of the funds made available for each fiscal year from 
2016 through 2021. The amendment would add a requirement for an 
implementation plan, the review of programs being acquired 
under this authority by the Cyber Investment Management Board, 
and an annual end of year assessment. The amendment would also 
make a number of technical and conforming edits.
    We believe the Commander of CYBERCOM should utilize this 
limited acquisition authority to fulfill cyber operations-
peculiar and cyber capability-peculiar requirements the 
services are unable to meet to ensure the Department of Defense 
is adequately postured to defend and respond to cyber threats. 
We maintain that this limited authority should not be construed 
to replace the acquisition responsibilities of the military 
services to fulfill their man, train and equip requirements. We 
believe successful demonstration of these acquisition 
authorities will require implementation of memoranda of 
agreement with the military services to define enduring 
responsibilities and more explicit definition cyber operations-
peculiar and cyber capability-peculiar requirements.

Report on linking and streamlining requirements, acquisition, and 
        budget processes within Armed Forces (sec. 808)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 801) that would 
require the Chief of Staff of the Army, the Chief of Naval 
Operations, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and the 
Commandant of the Marine Corps to each submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees on their efforts to leverage 
their existing statutory authorities in a manner that links and 
streamlines their services' requirements, acquisition, and 
budget processes in order to foster improved outcomes.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Advisory panel on streamlining and codifying acquisition regulations 
        (sec. 809)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 808) that 
would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology and Logistics to establish an advisory panel on 
streamlining acquisition regulations.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Review of time-based requirements process and budgeting and acquisition 
        systems (sec. 810)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 809) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff to review the requirements process to 
provide for a time-based or phased distinction between 
capabilities needed to be deployed urgently, within 2 years, 
within 5 years, and longer than 5 years.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment to clarify the scope of 
the review.

Subtitle B--Amendments to General Contracting Authorities, Procedures, 
                            and Limitations


Amendment relating to multiyear contract authority for acquisition of 
        property (sec. 811)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 806) that would 
strike the existing requirement that the head of an agency must 
determine that substantial savings would be achieved before 
entering into a multiyear contract.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
that significant savings would be achieved before entering into 
a multiyear contract.
    We agree that the government should seek to maximize 
savings whenever it pursues multiyear procurement. However, we 
also agree that significant savings (estimated to be greater 
than $250.0 million), and other benefits, may be achieved even 
if it does not equate to a minimum of 10 percent savings over 
the cost of an annual contract. We expect a request for 
authority to enter into a multiyear contract will include (1) 
the estimated cost savings, (2) the minimum quantity needed, 
(3) confirmation that the design is stable and the technical 
risks are not excessive, and (4) any other rationale for 
entering into such a contract.

Applicability of cost and pricing data and certification requirements 
        (sec. 812)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 822) that 
would limit the applicability of the Truth in Negotiations Act 
(Public Law 87-653; 10 U.S.C. section 2306a) to offset 
agreements.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would provide for 
an exception to this limitation for subcontracts and contracts 
under the offset agreement for work performed in a foreign 
country that are directly-related to the weapon systems of 
defense-related item being purchased under the contract.

Rights in technical data (sec. 813)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 825) that 
would clarify procedures for the validation of rights in 
technical data for subsystems and components of major weapon 
systems; and establish a government-industry advisory panel to 
review sections 2320 and 2321 of title 10, United States Code.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Procurement of supplies for experimental purposes (sec. 814)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 826) that 
would update the experimental acquisition authority in section 
2373 of title 10, United States Code, to apply to 
transportation, energy, medical, and space flight and to 
clarify when provisions of Chapter 137 of title 10 apply to 
such procurements.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Amendments to other transaction authority (sec. 815)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 853) would make 
permanent the other transactions authority (OTA) for 
contracting established in section 845 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160), as 
modified most recently by section 812 of the Carl Levin and 
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). The provision would 
also make changes to the authority to use such mechanisms.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (section 
804) that modified the authority, as well as modifying the 
definition of a ``non-traditional'' defense contractor.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) make 
section 845 authority permanent; (2) clarify the authority to 
use section 845 authority to acquire prototypes or follow-on 
production items to be provided to contractors as government-
furnished equipment; (3) ensure that innovative small business 
firms are authorized to participate in other transactions under 
section 845 without the requirement for a cost-share (except 
where the small business is partnered with a large business in 
a transaction); and (4) clarify the use of follow-on production 
contracts or other transactions authority. The provision 
further requires the Department of Defense to study the 
benefits of permitting not-for-profit entities to enter into 
other transactions agreements without the requirement for cost 
sharing.
    We believe that the flexibility of the OTA authorities of 
section 2371 of title 10, United States Code, and the related 
and dependent authorities of section 845 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-
160) as modified and codified in this provision, can make them 
attractive to firms and organizations that do not usually 
participate in government contracting due to the typical 
overhead burden and ``one size fits all'' rules. We believe 
that expanded use of OTAs will support Department of Defense 
efforts to access new source of technical innovation, such as 
Silicon Valley startup companies and small commercial firms.

Amendment to acquisition threshold for special emergency procurement 
        authority (sec. 816)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 854) that would 
raise the simplified acquisition threshold from $100,000 to 
$500,000, the micro-purchase threshold from $3,000 to $5,000, 
and the special emergency procurement authority threshold for 
purchases inside the United States from $250,000 to $750,000 
and for purchases outside the United States from $1.0 million 
to $1.5 million, and the small business reservation threshold 
from $100,000 to $500,000.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 
section 1903 of title 41, United States Code to raise the 
special emergency procurement authority threshold.

Revision of method of rounding when making inflation adjustment of 
        acquisition-related dollar thresholds (sec. 817)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 855) that would 
amend section 1908(e)(2) of title 41, United States Code, to 
change the rounding method that is used when scheduled 
adjustments are made to certain acquisition-related dollar 
thresholds.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

 Subtitle C--Provisions Relating to Major Defense Acquisition Programs


Acquisition strategy required for each major defense acquisition 
        program, major automated information system, and major system 
        (sec. 821)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 822) that would 
establish a new section in chapter 144 of title 10, United 
States Code, that requires an acquisition strategy for each 
major defense acquisition program and each major system 
approved by a Milestone Decision Authority (MDA).
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
841).
    The agreement includes a provision that combines these two 
provisions. The provision would mandate that the Department of 
Defense create an acquisition strategy for each major defense 
acquisition program, each major automated information system, 
and each major system approved by an MDA. The provision further 
outlines key areas that should be considered in the strategies, 
as well as a process for the periodic review of the strategy by 
the MDA.

Revision to requirements relating to risk management in development of 
        major defense acquisition programs and major systems (sec. 822)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 823) that would 
establish a new section in chapter 144 of title 10, United 
States Code that requires the program acquisition strategy for 
each major defense acquisition program or major system to 
include an identification of major program risks and a risk 
management and mitigation strategy.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
842).
    The agreement includes a provision that combines these two 
provisions designed to reduce programmatic risk. The provision 
mandates that the program acquisition strategy specifically 
address approaches to manage and mitigate risks, and highlights 
a number of techniques that support such mitigation. The 
provision further highlights the importance of prototyping as a 
risk mitigation approach.
    We expect that the risk mitigation aspects of a program 
acquisition strategy should be addressed with each increment of 
a program. Further, we expect that the comprehensive approach 
to risk mitigation should identify: each individual risk to the 
program; risk management and mitigation activities developed to 
address the risks; and resources to support those mitigation 
activities.

Revision of Milestone A decision authority responsibilities for major 
        defense acquisition programs (sec. 823)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 825) that would 
amend section 2366a of title 10, United States Code, to require 
the Milestone Decision Authority to make a written 
determination, in lieu of a certification, before approving 
milestone A.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
844).
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that combines these 
two provisions. The provision establishes the Milestone 
Decision Authority's responsibility to ensure that an 
acquisition program has demonstrated sufficient knowledge to 
enter into a risk reduction phase following Milestone A and has 
sound plans to progress to the development phase before 
granting milestone approval. It specifies the considerations 
the milestone decision authority must take into account, 
thereby addressing the critical activities that need to precede 
and occur during the succeeding risk reduction phase.

Revision of Milestone B decision authority responsibilities for major 
        defense acquisition programs (sec. 824)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 826) that would 
amend section 2366b of title 10, United States Code, to require 
the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) to make a written 
determination, instead of a certification, for some of the 
existing certification requirements before approving milestone 
B.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
845).
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that combines these 
two provisions.
    The provision establishes the MDA's responsibility to 
ensure that an acquisition program has demonstrated sufficient 
knowledge to enter a development phase and has sound plans in 
place to deliver the required capability, before granting 
milestone approval. It specifies the considerations the MDA 
must take into account, thereby addressing the critical 
activities that need to precede and occur during the 
development phase. It further specifies that the MDA must 
certify that the program has a high likelihood of accomplishing 
its intended mission based on a formal post-preliminary design 
review assessment, and that the technology in the program has 
been demonstrated in a relevant environment based on an 
independent review and assessment.

Designation of milestone decision authority (sec. 825)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 843) that 
would amend section 2430 of title 10, United States Code, to 
designate the service acquisition executives as the milestone 
decision authority for major acquisition programs managed by 
the military services; require that if a program managed by the 
services breaches thresholds in the Nunn-McCurdy Act, section 
2433 of title 10, United States Code, the Secretary of Defense 
shall revoke service milestone decision authority for the 
program; clarify that for service programs where the service 
acquisition executive is the milestone decision authority the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 
Logistics would exercise advisory authority; require that the 
service secretaries and service chiefs certify in each Selected 
Acquisition Report that program requirements are stable and 
funding is adequate to meet cost, schedule, and performance 
objectives for each major defense acquisition program; require 
the Deputy Chief Management Officer to issue guidance to ensure 
that acquisition policy, guidance, and practices support a 
streamlined decision making and approval process that minimizes 
information requests on service managed programs; and require 
not later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act, the 
Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense 
committees a plan to implement the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics advisory authority 
for service acquisition programs. The provision mandated 
implementation of the changes within 1 year of the date of 
enactment of the Act.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
the provision would apply to new programs reaching milestone A 
after October 1, 2016; modify certain certification 
requirements; and require the Secretary of Defense to review 
the acquisition oversight process for major defense acquisition 
programs and limit outside requirements for documentation to an 
absolute minimum on those service managed programs. We note 
that the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics should only exercise advisory 
authority, subject to the overall authority, direction, and 
control of the Secretary of Defense, over service acquisition 
programs for which the service acquisition executive is the 
milestone decision authority.

Tenure and accountability of program managers for program definition 
        periods (sec. 826)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 846) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to revise Department of 
Defense guidance for defense acquisition programs to address 
the tenure and accountability of program managers for the 
program definition period of defense acquisition programs.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment to clarify the period 
of time to which the required guidance applies, and to include 
authority for the Secretary of Defense to adjust program 
management assignment tenures, under certain circumstances.

Tenure and accountability of program managers for program execution 
        periods (sec. 827)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 847) that 
would address the tenure and accountability of program managers 
for the program execution period of defense acquisition 
programs.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment to clarify the elements 
of the guidance to be issued as a result of the provision.

Penalty for cost overruns (sec. 828)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 849) under 
which each military department would pay an annual penalty in 
the amount of 3 percent of the cumulative cost overrun on all 
of its major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs).
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

to better access commercial industry sources.

Independent study of implementation of defense acquisition workforce 
        improvement efforts (sec. 845)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 816) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense, within 30 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, to enter into a contract with an 
independent research entity that is a not-for-profit entity or 
a federally funded research and development center with 
appropriate expertise and analytical capability to carry out a

subsequent procurements of such items.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Acquisition Regulation Supplement of inapplicable defense-
unique statues to contracts for commercial items and commercial 
available off-the-shelf items.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would require the

will realize a significant cost savings as compared to the cost 
of procuring a similar quantity of such item or level of 
service using commercial acquisition procedures.

                  Subtitle F--Industrial Base Matters


Amendment to Mentor-Protege Program (sec. 861)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that would 
codify the Department of Defense Mentor-Protege Pilot Program 
in Title 10 United States Code as a permanent program.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 877) that 
would extend the authorization for Department of Defense 
Mentor-Protege Pilot Program by 1 year.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 
eligibility requirements, forms of assistance, extension of the 
authorization and reporting requirements.
    We note that the Congressionally-mandated Mentor Protege 
program is intended to support efforts of small and 
disadvantaged businesses to partner with established defense 
suppliers to improve their ability to deliver needed 
technologies and services to the Department of Defense. The 
committee is concerned that the program may not always be 
executed to most effectively achieve mandated goals. Analysis 
of this program indicates that in some cases, protege firms 
participating in this program had received millions of dollars 
in federal prime contract awards prior to the establishment of 
their Mentor-Protege agreements, indicating they may have 
possessed sufficient ability to market their goods and services 
to federal customers without the need for additional 
developmental assistance.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense to report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services and the Senate Committee on Armed 
Services, within 90 days of the enactment of this Act, on 
changes to program policy and metrics that would ensure the 
program meets the goal of enhancing the defense supplier base 
in the most effective and efficient manner. The report shall 
include recommendations to better direct the developmental 
assistance to the most appropriate disadvantaged small business 
concerns, including nontraditional defense contractors 
currently providing goods or services in the private sector 
that are most critical to enhancing the capabilities of the 
defense supplier base and fulfilling key Department needs. The 
report shall describe how the Department will strengthen the 
review processes of program investments to ensure activities 
proposed in developmental plans are necessary for the protege's 
development, taking into account the protege's reported prime 
contract and subcontract awards, and that mentors are obtaining 
the best value for all reimbursed activities. The report shall 
also assess alternate models for incentives for participation 
by mentor companies in the program other than direct 
reimbursement, and shall detail program metrics that would 
enable the Department evaluate the program's return on 
investment and the actual impact of the development assistance 
on the protege's ability to support DOD needs. We recommend 
that the Secretary ensure that the annual reports generated by 
the Defense Contract Management Agency are sufficient to be 
used to evaluate team performance and mentor reimbursement.
    Further, we direct the U.S. Comptroller General of the 
United States, within 1 year of enactment of this Act, report 
to the House Committee on Armed Services and the Senate 
Committee on Armed Services, with an assessment of the efficacy 
of the DOD Mentor-Protege pilot program, recommend ways to 
harmonize the DOD Mentor-Protege pilot program with the Small 
Business Administration's Mentor-Protege program, and discuss 
whether the reimbursement mechanism for the DOD Mentor-Protege 
pilot program should be maintained.

Amendments to data quality improvement plan (sec. 862)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 832) that would 
amend section 15(s) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
644(s)) to require the Administrator of the Small Business 
Administration to annually provide to the Committee on Small 
Business of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
Small Business and Entrepreneurship of the Senate 
certificationof the accuracy and completeness of data reported on 
bundled and consolidated contracts. This section would also require the 
Comptroller General of the United States to provide a report to the 
aforementioned committees not later than the first day of fiscal year 
2019 on the effectiveness of the certification process and an 
assessment of whether contracts were accurately labeled as bundled or 
consolidated.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Notice of contract consolidation for acquisition strategies (sec. 863)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 833) that would 
amend section 44(c)(2) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
657q(c)(2)) to require the senior procurement executive or 
chief acquisition officer to announce through a public website 
that a determination has been made to bundle or consolidate 
contracts within 1 week of making the determination, but no 
later than 1 week prior to the issuance of a solicitation.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Clarification of requirements related to small business contracts for 
        services (sec. 864)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 834) that would 
amend section 8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
637(a)(17)) to clarify that the statute applies to contracts 
for goods, but not services or construction. We note that the 
non-manufacturer rule (NMR) was established to ensure that, 
when competition for a contract for goods is restricted to 
small businesses, the goods ultimately purchased were indeed 
the product of a small business. However, we are concerned that 
the NMR is being applied to services and construction contracts 
and could limit small business participants contracting for 
services and construction to the Federal Government. Therefore, 
we believe this clarification to section 8(a)(17) is necessary.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Certification requirements for Business Opportunity Specialists, 
        commercial market representatives, and procurement center 
        representatives (sec. 865)

amend section 15 and section 4 of the Small Business Act (15 
U.S.C. 644 and 633, respectively) to set certification 
requirements for commercial market representatives and to 
modify the current certification requirements for procurement 
center representatives and Business Opportunity Specialists.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

Modifications to requirements for qualified HUBZone small business 
        concerns located in a base closure area (sec. 866)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 842) that would 
amend section 152(a)(2) of title I of division K of the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005 (15 U.S.C. 632 note) to 
extend the length of time covered base closure areas may 
participate in the Historically Underutilized Business Zone 
(HUBZone) program to either 8 years or until the Small Business 
Administration announces which areas will qualify for the 
HUBZone program after the next decennial census data is 
released. This section would also amend section 
3(p)(5)(A)(i)(l) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
632(p)(5)(A)(i)(I)) to include allowed covered base closure 
area HUBZone participants to meet the program's employment 
requirements by hiring 35 percent of their employees from any 
qualified HUBZone, and would amend section 3(p)(4)(D) of the 
Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(p)(4)(D)) to extend physical 
boundaries of the covered base closure area, for purpose of the 
HUBZone program, to include lands within a 25-mile radius of 
the base.
    The Senate amendment contained two similar provisions (sec. 
882 and 883) that would amend the Small Business Act, title 15, 
United States Code to authorize the inclusion of qualified 
disaster areas to the Historically Underutilized Business Zone 
program administered by the Small Business Administration and 
to authorize the inclusion of base closure areas to the 
Historically Underutilized Business Zone program administered 
by the Small Business Administration.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine 
both provisions.

amend section 15(e)(4) and 15(q)(1) of the Small Business Act 
(15 U.S.C. 644(e)(4) and 15 U.S.C. 644(q)(1)), respectively, by 
requiring agencies to give due consideration to the 
capabilities and past performances of the small businesses that 
submit offers as teams or joint ventures when the contract is 
bundled, consolidated, or for a multiple-award contract.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Modification to and scorecard program for small business contracting 
        goals (sec. 868)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 844) that would 
codify a requirement to publish a scorecard on agency 
achievements regarding contract awards to small businesses and 
require a Government Accountability Office report on the 
effectiveness of the scorecard methodology.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment to remove the 
requirement for the establishment and execution of the program 
before the end of fiscal year 2017.

Establishment of an Office of Hearings and Appeals in the Small 
        Business Administration; petitions for reconsideration of size 
        standards (sec. 869)

    The Senate recedes.

Additional duties of the Director of Small and Disadvantaged Business 
        Utilization (sec. 870)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 885) that 
would require the small business offices in the Office of the 
Secretary of Defense and the military departments to serve as 
intermediaries between small businesses and contracting 
officials prior to the award of contracts in cases where a 
small business prospective contractor notifies the small 
business office that it has reason to believe that the 
contracting process has been modified to preclude a small 
business from bidding on the contract or would give another 
contractor an unfair competitive advantage.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
section 15(k) of the Small Business Act (title 15, United 
States Code, section 644) to describe the responsibilities of 
federal agency Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business 
Utilization offices in cases where a small business concern 
prior to the award of a contract believes that a solicitation, 
request for proposal, or request for quotation might unduly 
restrict the ability of the small business concern to compete 
for the award.

Including subcontracting goals in agency responsibilities (sec. 871)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 841) that would 
amend section 1633(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act

consideration of success in attainment of small business 
subcontracting goals as part of agency responsibilities.

would amend section 834(d) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 (Public Law

Congress on any negotiated comprehensive subcontracting plan 
that the Secretary determines did not meet the subcontracting 
goals negotiated in the plan for the prior fiscal year.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Pilot program for streamlining awards for innovative technology 
        projects (sec. 873)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 831) that 
would establish a pilot program to provide an exception from 
the requirements under sections 2306a(1) and 2313 of title 10, 
United States Code, for contracts or subcontracts valued at 
less than $7.5 million that are awarded based on a technical 
merit based selection procedure.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Surety bond requirements and amount of guarantee (sec. 874)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 839) that would: 
(1) amend section 411 of the Small Business Investment Act of 
1958 (15 U.S.C. 694b(c)(1)) to increase the guarantee rate for 
surety bonds issued pursuant to the Small Business 
Administration's (SBA) Preferred Program to 90 percent; (2) 
amend chapter 93 of title 31, United States Code, to require 
that individual sureties have sufficient assets to redeem the 
bonds; and (3) provide for a study by the Comptroller General 
of the effects of these changes on small and disadvantaged 
business enterprises.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would retain the 
provision addressing the SBA program and the provision 
governing the use of individual sureties. However, each 
provision will be subject to a 1-year delay in implementation 
to allow for the necessary rulemaking. The agreement does not 
retain the provisions amending the SBA surety bond program, nor 
does it provide for a study by the Comptroller General.
    We believe the compromise will allow for greater protection 
of federal agencies and subcontractors protected by surety 
bonds, while allowing the SBA more time to document the effects 
of changes to the surety bond program made by section 1695 of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 
(Public Law 112-239).

additional requirement for the Secretary of Defense to also 
determine the extent to which the requirements associated with 
defense acquisition programs can be satisfied by the present 
and projected performance capacities of industries supporting 
the sectors or capabilities in the assessment and evaluate the 
reasons for any variance from applicable preceding 
determinations.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
review of the number of industry sources and whether 
requirements could be satisfied by industries not actively 
supporting the Department of Defense.

        881)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 851) that would

implementation of policies, procedures, and activities related 
to operational test and evaluation, and to take appropriate 
action to ensure that the conduct of operational test and 
evaluation activities do not unnecessarily impede program 
schedules or increase program costs.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
that all relevant Department of Defense acquisition, management 
and oversight agencies consider the potential for increases in

capabilities related to services contracts requirements 
development, source selection, and contract oversight and 
management.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Streamlining of requirements relating to defense business systems (sec. 
        883)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 858) that would 
revise section 2222 of title 10, United States Code, to clarify 
responsibilities for the management of defense business 
information technology systems. As a result, this section would 
repeal the current reporting requirement contained in section 
2222 of title 10, United States Code, and insert a new annual 
reporting requirement through the year 2020 on the revised 
requirements of section 2222.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (section 
871).
    The agreement includes a provision that would combine the 
two provisions. The revised section 2222 of title 10, United 
States Code, streamlines the requirements for development and 
management of business systems, as well as associated reporting 
requirements; mandates elements of guidance to be issued by the 
Secretary of Defense on investments in and acquisition of 
business systems; clarifies the responsibilities of senior 
officials in the acquisition and management of business 
systems; and emphasizes the need for robust business process 
engineering prior to investment in commercial technology or the 
modification of commercial systems for use by the Department of 
Defense.

Procurement of personal protective equipment (sec. 884)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 860) that would 
ensure the Secretary of Defense uses best value contracting 
methods to the maximum extent practicable when procuring an 
item of personal protective equipment.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
824 that would: (1) prohibit the use of reverse auctions and 
lowest priced technically acceptable (LPTA) contracting methods 
for the procurement of personal protective equipment where the 
level of quality needed or the failure of the item could result 
in combat casualties; and (2) establish a preference for best 
value contracting methods when procuring such equipment.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment to combine the two 
provisions to ensure that the Department of Defense to the 
maximum extent practicable uses best value criteria for the 
procurement of these items.
    We are concerned that an overarching bias towards reducing 
prices paid by the Department of Defense (DOD) to the exclusion 
of other factors could result in DOD buying low cost products 
that have the potential to negatively impact the safety of U.S. 
military personnel. We believe this could be a particular 
problem with the quality of personal protective equipment such 
as combat helmets, body armor, ballistic eye protection, and 
other similar individual equipment issued to U.S. military 
personnel.

Amendments concerning detection and avoidance of counterfeit electronic 
        parts (sec. 885)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 861) that would 
amend section 818(c)(2)(B) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) to 
expand the eligibility for covered contractors to include costs 
associated with rework and corrective action related to 
counterfeit electronic parts as allowable costs under 
Department of Defense contracts.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would allow the 
Department of Defense to approve of industry-selected trusted 
suppliers.

Exception for AbilityOne products from authority to acquire goods and 
        services manufactured in Afghanistan, Central Asian States, and 
        Djibouti (sec. 886)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 865) that would 
amend Section 886 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2008 (10 U.S.C. 2302 note) and Section 1263 of the 
Carl Levin and Howard P. `Buck' McKeon National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) to 
exclude items that can be procured under the AbilityOne 
procurement list outlined in section 8503(a) of title 41, 
United States Code from preferred local procurement in 
Afghanistan, Iraq, Central Asia, and Djibouti.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
884) that would amend section 886, National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (10 U.S.C. 2302 note) 
and section 801 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) to exclude items in the 
procurement list described in section 8503(a) of title 41 from 
preferred local procurement in Afghanistan and Central Asia, if 
such a good can be produced and delivered by a qualified non-
profit agency for the blind or a non-profit agency for other 
severely disabled in a timely fashion to support mission 
requirements.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Effective communication between government and industry (sec. 887)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 866) that would 
require the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to prescribe 
a regulation making clear that agency acquisition personnel are 
permitted and encouraged to engage in responsible and 
constructive exchanges with industry, so long as those 
exchanges are consistent with existing law and regulation and 
do not promote an unfair competitive advantage to particular 
firms.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Standards for procurement of secure information technology and cyber 
        security systems (sec. 888)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 870) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to conduct an assessment of 
the application of the Open Trusted Technology Provider 
Standard to Department of Defense procurements for information 
technology and cyber security acquisitions.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand on 
the types of open technology standards to be assessed.

Unified information technology services (sec. 889)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 873) that 
would require the Department of Defense to conduct a business 
case analysis to determine the most effective and efficient way 
to acquire common services across Department of Defense (DOD) 
networks and ensure interoperability and competition.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Cloud strategy for Department of Defense (sec. 890)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 874) that 
would require the Chief Information Officer (CIO) of the 
Department of Defense to develop a cloud strategy for the 
secret level of classified data and the Secret Internet 
Protocol network (SIPRnet). The provision would also require 
the CIO to develop a consistent pricing and cost recovery 
process for the use by Department of Defense components of the 
Intelligence Community's cloud services. The provision would 
also require the CIO to assess the feasibility and advisability 
of imposing a minimum set of open standards for cloud 
infrastructure, middle-ware, metadata, and application 
programming interfaces to promote interoperability, information 
sharing, access to data, and competition.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Development period for Department of Defense information technology 
        systems (sec. 891)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 875) that 
would amend section 2445b of title 10, United States Code, to 
modify requirements applicable to a major automated information 
system program that fails to achieve a full deployment decision 
within 5 years after the initiation of the program.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Revisions to pilot program on acquisition of military purpose 
        nondevelopmental items (sec. 892)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 876) that 
would amend section 866 of the Ike Skelton National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383) to 
expand the applicability of the pilot program on the 
acquisition of military purpose nondevelopmental items to 
additional classes of contractors and apply the standards of 
the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (10 U.S.C. 2304) to 
these contracts.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Improved auditing of contracts (sec. 893)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 878) that 
would authorize the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) to 
provide outside audit support to non-Defense Agencies upon 
certification that the backlog for incurred cost audits is less 
than 12 months of incurred cost inventory.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit the 
DCAA from providing outside audit support to non-Defense 
Agencies until DCAA certifies that the backlog for incurred 
costs is less than 18 months of incurred-cost inventory, not 
require the Secretary of Defense to use outside auditing staff 
to help address DCAA's audit backlog, and streamline reporting 
requirements.

Sense of Congress on evaluation method for procurement of audit or 
        audit readiness services (sec. 894)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 864) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to establish values and 
metrics for the procurement of audit or audit readiness 
services and review the offeror's past performance before using 
a lowest price, technically acceptable evaluation method for 
the procurement of such services.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment stating that before 
using the lowest price, technically acceptable evaluation 
method for the procurement of audit or audit readiness 
services, the Secretary of Defense should establish the values 
and metrics for evaluating companies offering audit services, 
including financial management and audit expertise and 
experience, personnel qualifications and certifications, past 
performance, technology, tools, and size.

Mitigating potential unfair competitive advantage of technical advisors 
        to acquisition programs (sec. 895)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 881) that 
would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics to issue guidance on identifying and 
addressing potential unfair competitive advantage of technical 
advisors to acquisition officials.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment to revise the guidance 
required under the provision.
    We believe that the technical advisors described in the 
provision include contractors, federally funded research and 
development centers, university-affiliated research centers, 
non-profit entities, and federal laboratories that provide 
systems engineering and technical direction, participate in 
technical evaluations, support preparation of specifications or 
work statements, or otherwise provide technical advice to 
acquisition officials on the conduct of defense acquisition 
programs. We further believe that ``potentially unfair 
competitive advantage'' includes unequal access to acquisition 
officials responsible for award decisions or allocation of 
resources, or to acquisition information relevant to award 
decisions or allocation of resources.
    In responding to this provision, we expect the Secretary to 
review these definitions, as well as the efficacy of current 
conflict-of-interest policies, the use of non-disclosure 
agreements, the application of appropriate regulations, and 
decisions to allocate resources through direct award of funds 
to intramural programs or sole-source task orders to entities 
that provide technical advice on defense programs versus open 
and competitive extramural solicitations. Based on the results 
of this review, we expect the Secretary to review and revise 
guidance to clarify these issues if necessary.
    We also expect the Secretary to develop metrics and 
processes for collecting and evaluating complaints and concerns 
relating to examples of the exploitation of unfair competitive 
advantage by technical advisors.

Survey on the costs of regulatory compliance (sec. 896)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 879) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a survey of 
defense contractors with the highest level of reimbursements 
for cost-type contracts and identify the cost to industry of 
regulatory compliance with government unique acquisition 
regulations and requirements that are not imposed on commercial 
item contracts.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Treatment of interagency and State and local purchases when the 
        Department of Defense acts as contract intermediary for the 
        General Services Administration (sec. 897)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 847) on the 
sense of Congress on the treatment of the procurement of fire 
hoses.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
830) that would clarify that the requirements under chapter 148 
of title 10, United States Code would not apply to a contract 
executed by the Department of Defense where the Department is 
acting as an intermediary for the General Services 
Administration (GSA) for purchase of products by other federal 
agencies or state and local governments.
    The House recedes.
    We note that the chapter 148 process of obtaining a 
domestic non-availability determination of certain products, 
such as fire hoses, could have a significant effect on the 
ability of Federal agencies to respond to natural disasters or 
other emergencies.

Competition for religious services contracts (sec. 898)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 829) that 
would ensure that non-profit organizations can compete for 
contracts for religious related services on a United States 
military installation.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Pilot program regarding risk-based contracting for smaller contract 
        actions under the Truth in Negotiations Act (sec. 899)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 823) that 
would amend the Truth in Negotiations Act (Public Law 87-653; 
10 U.S.C. section 2306a) to raise the threshold for the 
requirement to provide certified cost or pricing data in non-
price competitive procurements on non-commercial items from the 
current $750,000 to $5.0 million and require the Department of 
Defense (DOD) to establish a risk-based contracting approach, 
under which certified cost or pricing data would be required 
for a risk-based sample of contracts, to ensure that DOD is 
getting fair and reasonable prices for such contracts.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would establish a 
pilot program to test this authority.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted


Sense of Congress on the desired tenets of the defense acquisition 
        system

    The House bill contained provisions (sec. 800 and sec. 821) 
that express the sense of Congress that acquisition reform 
efforts and weapon system acquisitions require improvement.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note the concern that the incentives of the current 
acquisition system lead to too many defense acquisitions 
concurrently chasing finite dollars. We are concerned that the 
Nation often endures weapons delivered late, at too high of a 
cost, with performance that falls short, and that are difficult 
and costly to maintain. Furthermore, the conventional 
acquisition process is not sufficiently agile to support 
warfighter demands.
    We express the need for reform for national security 
reasons to maintain technological and military dominance. We 
are concerned that the current process is so rigid and time-
consuming that the Department is often unable to effectively 
tap into the innovation occurring in the commercial 
marketplace. We note that commercial research and development 
(R&D) now represents 75 percent of the national total, and 
global R&D is now more than twice that of the United States. We 
suggest that removing unnecessary legislative, regulatory, and 
cultural barriers to new commercial competitions is necessary 
to create better incentives for and increased access to 
innovation beyond the Department. We believe these steps are 
critical for national security in the future, especially in 
areas such as cyber security, robotics, data analytics, 
miniaturization, and autonomy.
    We are concerned that the Department of Defense currently 
lacks effective oversight over a contracted services portfolio 
that has grown in magnitude over the last decade. The military 
departments and defense agencies have failed to adopt leading 
private sector best practices in the acquisition and management 
of commercially available services and information 
technologies. Departmental leadership has limited insight into 
the services being acquired and even less awareness of the 
services that may be needed in the future.
    We believe that the acquisition reform provisions in this 
bill are a first start in addressing these challenges but it 
will require all stakeholders in the acquisition system--the 
Department of Defense, Congress, and industry--to work together 
to achieve success. Success will be measured by the timely 
delivery of affordable and effective military equipment and 
services. We will continue to work for an acquisition system 
that is more proactive, agile, transparent, and innovative.

Independent study of matters related to bid protests

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 803) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract, 
within 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
with an independent research entity that is a not-for-profit 
entity or a federally funded research and development center 
with appropriate expertise and analytical capability to carry 
out a comprehensive study of factors leading to bid protests 
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 880) 
that would require a report by the Government Accountability 
Office on bid protests.
    The agreement does not include either of these provisions.

Compliance with inventory of contracts for services

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 807) that would 
limit the expenditure of funds authorized for the operation of 
the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
Readiness until certain conditions are met regarding the 
Department of Defense's compliance with the requirement for an 
inventory of contracts for services.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We continue to recognize the value of obtaining better 
visibility over the use of services contracts by defense 
components and agencies to better understand how contracted 
services are being used to support Department of Defense 
missions. We note a distinction between services contracts 
which are measured in the same manner as staff augmentation 
contracts of contractor full-time equivalents and performance-
based services contracts and other services contracts which 
rely on a high degree of embedded capital equipment and 
business process re-engineering. We direct the Secretary of 
Defense to examine the approach the Department is taking to 
comply with section 2330a, United States Code, and determine 
whether it is or is not producing a product that enhances the 
oversight of service contracting activities and submit a report 
explaining the results of that examination to the congressional 
defense committees no later than March 1, 2016, including 
efforts to better manage contractor and civilian personnel 
costs within the Department. We recognize the information 
technology aspects of the inventory present technical 
challenges and encourage the Secretary of Defense to 
investigate and pursue existing Department of Defense and 
service component information technology systems which could 
present a timely solution and provide data relevant to 
strategic workforce planning. To the extent that the Secretary 
identifies that the process and technology are not producing an 
oversight-enhancing product, we expect the Secretary to propose 
an alternative method of inventory.

Requirement for acquisition skills assessment biennial strategic 
        workforce plan

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 814) that would 
amend section 115b of title 10, United States Code, which 
requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a biennial 
strategic workforce plan on critical skills and competencies of 
the civilian employee workforce of the Department of Defense, 
to include an additional assessment of new or expanded critical 
skills and competencies needed by the civilian employee 
workforce to address new acquisition process requirements 
established by law or policy.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Modification to requirements relating to determination of contract type 
        for major defense acquisition programs and major systems

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 824) that would 
amend section 2306 of title 10, United States Code, by adding a 
new subsection, and repealing the requirements in certain 
subsections of section 818 of the John Warner National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364), 
relating to the modification of Department of Defense 
regulations.
    The Senate amendment contained a related provision (sec. 
821) that would require the Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement to be revised to establish a preference 
for fixed-price contracts, including fixed-price incentive 
contracts, in the determination of contract type for 
development programs.
    The agreement does not include either provision.

Requirement that certain ship components be manufactured in the 
        national technology and industrial base

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 836) that would 
amend section 2534(a) of title 10, United States Code, and 
would require certain auxiliary ship components to be procured 
from a manufacturer in the national technology and industrial 
base.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Policy regarding solid rocket motors used in tactical missiles

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 837) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that every tactical 
missile program of the Department of Defense that uses solid 
propellant as the primary propulsion system shall have at least 
one rocket motor supplier within the national technology and 
industrial base and would allow the Secretary to waive this 
requirement in the case of compelling national security 
reasons.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We agree on the importance of sustaining rocket motor 
production options to ensure a healthy tactical missile 
industrial base.

FAR Council membership for administrator of Small Business 
        Administration

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 838) that would 
amend section 1302 of title 41, United States Code, by adding 
the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to the 
Federal Acquisition Regulatory (FAR) Council.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We believe that the FAR Council should work closely with 
the Small Business Administration to ensure that consistent 
regulations are issued from both organizations, to the benefit 
of both Federal agencies and their small business contractors.

Limitations on reverse auctions

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 846) that would 
amend the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631 et. seq.) to 
prohibit the use of reverse auctions for the purchase of 
construction services; goods purchased to protect Federal 
employees, members of the Armed Forces, or civilians from 
bodily harm; and goods or services awarded based on factors 
other than price and technical responsibility if the contract 
is awarded using a Small Business Act procurement authority. 
For all other reverse auctions conducted using a Small Business 
Act procurement authority, the provision required training of 
contracting officers, restricted the activities that could be 
undertaken by third-party agents, required honesty in price 
rankings, and required that revisions to offers be permitted 
throughout the course of the auction.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note that similar language independent of the Small 
Business Act and applicable only to the Department of Defense 
was adopted as section 824 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). Recognizing that two-thirds of 
reverse auctions are conducted outside of the Department of 
Defense, we see value in addressing the use of this procurement 
method in civilian agencies but believe it is premature to 
place additional restrictions upon the Department until section 
824 of last year's authorization is implemented.

Extension of limitation on aggregate annual amount available for 
        contract services

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 863) that would 
extend the limitation on the aggregate annual amount available 
for contract services.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Strengthening program and project management performance by the 
        Department of Defense

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 867) that would 
require the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to 
develop a plan to strengthen program and project management 
performance for improving management of IT programs and 
projects.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
810) that would outline Department of Defense responsibilities 
under chapter 87 of title 10, United States Code for improving 
program and project management.
    The agreement does not include either provision.

Synchronization of defense acquisition curricula

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 868) that would 
require that the President of the Defense Acquisition 
University convene an annual review board to synchronize 
defense acquisition curricula across the Department of Defense.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note that the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) plays 
an important role in enhancing the quality and innovative 
capacity of the defense acquisition workforce. DAU training and 
education will be critical to enable the workforce to better 
position DOD to access global and commercial technologies and 
services, as well as to put the tenets of acquisition reform 
into actual practice. We urge DAU to work with other 
educational institutions within and outside DOD to leverage a 
wide array of available expertise and synchronize acquisition 
educational activities, best practices and curricula. Further, 
in order to enhance education and training of the acquisition 
workforce and support effective acquisition reform, we direct 
DAU to engage with leading educational and research experts on 
procurement and acquisition issues from both within and outside 
the Federal Government, including through personal exchanges, 
joint studies and analyses, and other interactions.

Research and analysis of defense acquisition policy

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 869) that would 
amend section 1746(a) of title 10, United States Code to add 
examples of academic institutions that could be used for the 
research and analysis of defense acquisition policy issues.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Modifications to the justification and approval process for certain 
        sole-source contracts for small business concerns

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 871) that would 
repeal the requirement for the simplified justification and 
approval process established in section 811 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-
84; 123 Stat. 2405; 41 U.S.C. 3304 note).
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Annual report on foreign procurements

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 886) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report 
relating to specific foreign procurements by the Department of 
Defense that result from waivers to the Buy America Act.
    The House bill had no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We note that the Department's Report to Congress on Fiscal 
Year 2014 Purchases from Foreign Entities identified 
approximately $5.4 billion in spending on nearly 23,000 
purchases for which the restrictions of the Buy America Act are 
not applicable because they are for items that are manufactured 
and used outside the United States.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
appropriate congressional defense committees a report listing 
specific procurements by the Department of Defense in fiscal 
year 2016 of articles, materials, or supplies valued greater 
than $5.0 million, using the exception under section 
8302(a)(2)(A) of title 41, United States Code, relating to 
articles, materials, and supplies for use outside the United 
States. We note that this report may be submitted as part of 
the report required under section 8305 of such title.

                     Legislative Provisions Adopted


Update of statutory functions of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
        Staff relating to joint force development activities (sec. 901)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 903) that would 
amend section 153(a)(5), title 10, United States Code, by 
adding a new subsection that would require the Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff to advise the Secretary of Defense on 
development of joint command, control, communications and cyber 
capability, including integration and interoperability of such 
capability through requirements, integrated architectures, data 
standards and assessments.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
901).
    The Senate recedes.

Sense of Congress on the United States Marine Corps (sec. 902)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 904) that would 
express the sense of Congress that the United States Marine 
Corps, within the Department of the Navy, should remain the 
Nation's expeditionary crisis response force and that the 
Marine Corps should be organized, trained, and equipped in the 
manner and for such purposes specified in section 5063 of title 
10, United States Code.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1048).
    The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.

change the period for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 
review of the Unified Command Plan from 2 years to 4 years.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Reorganization and redesignation of Office of Family Policy and Office

                      Title X--General Provisions


                     Subtitle A--Financial Matters


General transfer authority (sec. 1001)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1001) that would 
allow the Secretary of Defense to transfer up to $5.0 billion 
of fiscal year 2016 funds authorized in division A of this Act 
to unforeseen higher priority needs.
    The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1001) that 
would allow the Secretary of Defense to transfer up to $4.5 
billion of fiscal year 2016 funds authorized in division A of 
this Act to unforeseen higher priority needs.
    The House recedes.

Accounting standards to value certain property, plant, and equipment 
        items (sec. 1002)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1003) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with the Federal 
Accounting Standards Advisory Board to establish accounting 
standards for large and unordinary general property, plant, and 
equipment items.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The agreement includes this provision.

Report on auditable financial statements (sec. 1003)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1004) that would 
require the Department of Defense to develop a report ranking 
organizations according to their advancement in the achievement 
of auditable financial statements.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
reporting requirement.
    We note that 2015 marks 10 years implementing audit and 
financial management improvement efforts under the Department's 
Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) plan. We are 
concerned that recent setbacks could affect the long term goals 
of the Department. For fiscal year 2014, the Department 
significantly scaled back its effort to audit the one-year 
Statement of Budgetary Activity (SBA) instead of the multi-year 
Statement of Budgetary Resources (SBR) required by the 2014 
statutory deadline. In 2015, the Department withdrew its clean 
opinion on the Marine Corps' fiscal year 2012 SBA. Despite 
substantial and unquantified resources being invested in IT 
systems, personnel, training, and consulting services over the 
last decade, progress remains limited.
    The Department's 2017 deadline to declare audit readiness 
for its full complement of financial statements is fast 
approaching. Well-known and well-documented material weaknesses 
that are supposed to be addressed under the FIAR plan remain in 
place. We look forward to continued discussions with the 
Department on how these weaknesses will be resolved in time for 
the full audit of the Department's fiscal year 2018 financial 
statements.
    Further, we believe that the Department should better 
understand best practices of private and public sector 
organizations who have obtained and maintained clean audits, 
including many who are large, multinational corporations, deal 
with emergency operations, and work with classified materials 
and activities. We expect that the implementation of some of 
these practices, especially the use of organizational 
incentives to drive change, development of milestones to 
measure progress towards auditability, and more strategic and 
rigorous business process re-engineering and IT modernization, 
will support DOD's efforts to obtain clean audits in a more 
effective and efficient manner.

Sense of Senate on sequestration (sec. 1004)

    The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1004) that 
stated sequestration is an inadequate budgeting tool to address 
the nation's deficits and debt and that relief must be 
accomplished for fiscal year 2016 and 2017. Furthermore relief 
should include equal defense and non-defense relief and be 
offset through changes in mandatory and discretionary 
categories, and revenues.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that states budget caps 
imposed by the Budget Control Act of 2011 must be modified or 
eliminated through a bipartisan legislative agreement.

Annual audit of financial statements of Department of Defense 
        components by independent external auditors (sec. 1005)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1002) that 
would require the Department of Defense Inspector General to 
fulfill its statutory audit responsibilities to perform 
financial statement audits for the military departments and 
other designated components of the Department by contracting 
with independent external auditors.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 
selection and reporting requirements.

                  Subtitle B--Counter-Drug Activities


Extension of authority to support unified counter-drug and 
        counterterrorism campaign in Colombia (sec. 1011)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1011) that 
would extend for 2 fiscal years the authority of the Secretary 
of Defense to provide assistance to support the unified 
counter-drug and counterterrorism campaign of the Government of 
Colombia (Section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Public Law 108-375), as most recently 
amended by section 1011 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291).
    The House bill contained no similar provisions.
    The House recedes.

Extension and expansion of authority to provide additional support for 
        counter-drug activities of certain foreign governments (sec. 
        1012)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1011) that would 
extend, by 1 year, the authority to provide support for 
counter-drug activities of certain foreign governments 
originally authorized by subsection (a)(2) of section 1033 of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 
(Public Law 105-85), and most recently amended by section 1013 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 201 
(Public Law 113-291).
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1012) that 
would amend section 1033 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (Public Law 105-85), as most recently 
amended by section 1013 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). Specifically, the provision 
would extend the Department of Defense's (DOD) authority to 
provide additional support for counter-drug activities of 
certain foreign governments through fiscal year 2017, as well 
as add Kenya, Tanzania, and Somalia as countries eligible to 
receive assistance under this authority.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would add the 
Governments of Kenya and Tanzania to the list of governments 
eligible to receive support under this authority as well as 
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
congressional defense committees on the Department's planned 
use of this authority in the future.
    We believe that the growing nexus between terrorism and 
transnational organized crime in East Africa warrants increased 
attention by the Department of Defense. Therefore, we direct 
the Secretary of Defense to develop and submit not later than 
December 31, 2015 a plan for building the capacity of the 
Government of Somalia to combat the threat posed by illicit 
trafficking.

Sense of the Congress on Central America (sec. 1013)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1012) that would 
express a series of findings and a statement of policy on a 
Plan Central America to address violence, instability, illicit 
trafficking, and transnational organized crime in the region.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the 
Sense of Congress that the United States should, to the extent 
practicable, prioritize efforts to address the challenges to 
regional security in Central America.

                Subtitle C--Naval Vessels and Shipyards


Additional information supporting long-range plans for construction of 
        naval vessels (sec. 1021)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1024) that 
would require the Secretary of the Defense to provide 
additional information in the annual naval vessel construction 
plan required by section 231 of title 10, United States Code.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund (sec. 1022)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1051) that would 
amend section 1022 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
(Public Law 113-291) by expanding the transfer authority 
provided to the National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund from the 
Department of the Navy to the Department of Defense; providing 
authority to enter into economic order quantity contracts for 
ballistic missile submarines and other nuclear powered vessels; 
and providing incremental funding and facilities funding 
authority. This section further requires the Secretary of the 
Navy to submit a report on the Fund to the congressional 
defense committees by March 1, 2016, and annually through the 
year 2025.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision that would 
expand the transfer authority provided to the National Sea-
Based Deterrence Fund from the Department of the Navy to the 
Department of Defense (sec. 1022).
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand the 
Fund to include the authorization of incremental funding 
authority, economic order quantity contract authority, advance 
construction authority, and transfer authority from any 
Department of Defense appropriation. In addition, the Senate 
amendment would add the authorization to transfer unobligated 
fiscal year 2017 funds into the Fund.
    Because the Ohio-class replacement program is scheduled to 
carry 70 percent of our nation's strategic weapons and the 
fiscal investments will make this program one of the largest 
acquisition efforts in the Department of Defense, we believe 
that the Secretary should have the authority to implement 
streamlined financial management and acquisition strategies for 
the program, including appropriate use of incremental funding 
and economic order quantity authority. We believe that the 
National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund could provide the Secretary 
with that flexibility, while ensuring that Congress has the 
correct visibility into the program. To that end, we expect 
that a budget request for the Fund would be accompanied by 
information sufficient for Congress to exercise adequate 
oversight of the Fund and urge the Secretary of Defense to 
develop a fiscal strategy that supports this strategic 
investment.
    To better assess the most efficient method of procuring the 
Ohio-class replacement program and providing the oversight 
necessary for this unique investment, we direct the Secretary 
of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees with the fiscal year 2017 budget request that 
includes the following elements:
          (1) The acquisition strategy to build Ohio-class 
        replacement submarines that will leverage the enhanced 
        procurement authorities provided in the Fund, including 
        allocation, facility, and vendor base considerations;
          (2) An identification of any additional authorities 
        the Secretary may need to make management of the Ohio-
        class replacement more efficient;
          (3) An assessment of the acquisition strategy 
        developed in paragraph (1) with a conventional 
        acquisition strategy to include a cost assessment and 
        overall impacts to the submarine industrial base;
          (4) A description of how funds would be requested in 
        and obligated from the National Sea-Based Deterrence 
        Fund, including what, if any, connection the Fund will 
        have with other appropriations accounts (e.g., 
        Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy);
          (5) An explanation of how financial management 
        accountability and transparency would be maintained 
        related to funds moving in to and out of the National 
        Sea-Based Deterrence Fund; and
          (6) Ohio-class replacement construction elements that 
        have been included in Research, Development, Testing 
        and Evaluation, Navy budget request, including nuclear 
        components and common missile compartment construction 
        efforts, listed by program element title and number 
        with requested funding.
    We look forward to reviewing the Secretary's report, 
including options to better support an efficient acquisition 
strategy that could include coordinating with the Virginia-
class submarine program, which will continue during the Ohio-
class replacement submarine construction period. According to 
the Navy, it is likely that these programs will share some 
common components. The Navy may be able to coordinate component 
procurement across both submarine programs to achieve better 
efficiency and cost savings. Such coordination might be managed 
within the normal appropriations accounts, or could be 
facilitated by providing additional flexibility within the 
Fund.

Extension of authority for reimbursement of expenses for certain Navy 
        mess operations afloat (sec. 1023)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1022) that would 
extend the authority for reimbursement of expenses for certain 
Navy mess operations afloat authorized in section 1014 of the 
Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417), as amended by section 1021 of 
the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383), from September 30, 2015 to 
September 30, 2020, and certain technical and clarifying 
amendments.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1023).
    The Senate recedes.

Availability of funds for retirement or inactivation of Ticonderoga- 
        class cruisers or dock landing ships (sec. 1024)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1023) that would 
limit the obligation and expenditure of funds authorized to be 
appropriated or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 
for the retirement, inactivation, or storage of Ticonderoga-
class cruisers and Whidbey Island-class amphibious ships. The 
provision would also require the modernization of two 
Ticonderoga-class cruisers to begin in fiscal year 2016 only 
after sufficient materials are available to begin the 
modernization period. Finally, the modernization period would 
be limited to 2 years with the ability of the Secretary of the 
Navy to extend the period for another 6 months.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would only 
prohibit the retirement, preparation for retirement, 
inactivation, or placement in storage of any Ticonderoga-class 
cruisers or Whidbey Island-class amphibious ships, except to 
allow the modernization and upgrades for those ships to 
continue in accordance with the plan required by section 1026 
of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-
291).
    The Navy is inducting two cruisers into modernization 
status in fiscal year 2015 and plans to induct two additional 
cruisers into this status in fiscal year 2016. However, 
weunderstand the Navy has not programmed the manpower and operations 
funding for the remaining seven cruisers in the future years defense 
program (FYDP) beyond fiscal year 2016. We also understand that the 
FYDP does not support the long-term plan for modernization of these 
cruisers and dock landing ships beyond fiscal year 2018.
    This is at odds with statements by Secretary of the Navy 
Ray Mabus that he is ``100-percent'' committed to ensuring the 
ships are modernized and returned back to sea and similar 
statements by other administration officials.
    The lack of fiscal support in the fiscal year 2016 FYDP and 
previous requests for the early retirement of some of these 
cruisers has led us to question the administration's resolve to 
retain all of these cruisers through the end of their service 
lives. In order to demonstrate the administration's commitment 
to the plan, it is incumbent on the administration to close 
this gap in force structure statements and fiscal decisions. 
Continued congressional acceptance of the Navy's plan will be 
predicated on the administration's decision to fully program 
across the FYDP for manpower, readiness, and modernization for 
all cruisers and dock landing ships.

Limitation on the use of funds for removal of ballistic missile defense 
        capabilities from Ticonderoga class cruisers (sec. 1025)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1024) that would 
prohibit the removal of ballistic missile capabilities from any 
of the Ticonderoga-class cruisers until the Secretary of the 
Navy certifies to the congressional defense committees that the 
Navy has obtained the ballistic missile capabilities required 
by the most recent Navy Force Structure Assessment or 
determined to upgrade such cruisers with an equal or improved 
ballistic missile defense capability.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that adds the 
following third option to the Secretary of the Navy's 
certification--obtaining at least 40 large surface combatants 
with ballistic missile defense capability.

Independent assessment of United States Combat Logistic Force 
        requirements (sec. 1026)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 143) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to enter into an agreement 
with a federally funded research and development center to 
conduct an assessment of the anticipated future demands of the 
combat logistics force ships of the Navy and the challenges 
these ships may face when conducting and supporting future 
naval operations in contested maritime environments. This 
section would also require the Secretary of Defense to submit 
the assessment to the congressional defense committees by April 
1, 2016.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

    The House recedes with an amendment to terminate the 
prohibition on December 31, 2016 and clarify the list of 
countries to which a detainee from Guantanamo cannot be

would prohibit the use of funds provided to the Department of 
Defense for the transfer or release of individuals detained at 
United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to or within 
the United States. This provision would allow transfers to the 
United States for trial or continued detention pursuant to the 
Authorization for the Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40)

comprehensive detention strategy to be provided to the 
congressional defense committees setting forth the details of 
such a detention strategy for current and future individuals 
captured and held pursuant to the Authorization for Use of 
Military Force pending the end of hostilities. We expect that 
discussion to include an explanation of the Department's plan 
for the disposition of all detainees held at Guantanamo, on a 
case-by-case basis, and the costs associated with each element 
of that plan.

Prohibition on use of funds for realignment of forces or closure of

modify section 127b of title 10, United States Code, to make 
permanent the authority to make rewards to a person providing 
information or non-lethal assistance to U.S. Government 
personnel or government personnel of allied forces 
participating in a combined operation with U.S. Armed Forces 
conducted outside the United States against terrorism, or 
providing such information or assistance that is beneficial to 
force protection associated with such an operation.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1039) that would modify and extend section 127b of title 10, 
United States Code through December 31, 2016, as well as create 
a notification requirement for when the Secretary of Defense 
designates a country as a country in which an operation is 
occurring in connection with which rewards may be paid by this 
section.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would make the 
authority permanent and incorporate the notification 
requirement from the Senate provision.

Sunset on exception to congressional notification of sensitive military 
        operations (sec. 1043)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1031) that would 
modify section 130f of title 10, United States Code, by 
striking the exception to the notification requirement for a 
sensitive military operation executed within the territory of 
the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan pursuant to the 
Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40).
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would repeal the 
exception for sensitive military operations conducted within 
the territory of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan on 
December 31, 2017.
    In the classified annex that accompanies this report, we 
direct periodic reporting on Afghanistan to the congressional 
defense committees.

Repeal of semiannual reports on obligation and expenditure of funds for 
        the combating terrorism program (sec. 1044)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1033) that would 
modify reporting requirements for budget information related to 
program for combating terrorism as required by section 229 of 
title 10, United States Code. This section would specifically 
eliminate subsection (d) of section 229, regarding semiannual 
reports on obligations and expenditures.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Limitation on interrogation techniques (sec. 1045)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1040) that 
would limit interrogation techniques to those in the Army Field 
Manual for individuals in the custody or under the effective 
control of an officer, employee, or agent of the United States 
Government, or detained within a facility owned, operated, or 
controlled by a department or agency of the United States, in 
any armed conflict.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would make the 
limitation on interrogation techniques inapplicable to law 
enforcement and requires an update to the Army Field Manual no 
sooner than three years after the date of enactment. We 
recognize that law enforcement personnel may continue to use 
authorized non-coercive techniques of interrogation, and that 
Army Field Manual 2-22.3 is designed to reflect best practices 
for interrogation to elicit reliable statements.

         Subtitle E--Miscellaneous Authorities and Limitations


Department of Defense excess property program (sec. 1051)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1052) that would 
make changes to excess defense article donations authorized 
under section 2576a of title 10, United States Code. 
Specifically, the provision would require the establishment of 
a public website containing information on certain transfers 
made under the program, establish specific criteria for State 
program managers to be met before the Defense Logistics Agency 
may transfer certain types of equipment, and mandate several 
reviews of program objectives and efficacy, to include training 
recommendations, by a federally funded research and development 
center, the Comptroller General of the United States, and the 
Department of Defense.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment to include additional 
requirements on transfer of controlled property, a study on 
controlled property transfers, the incidence of controlled 
property that is lost or unaccounted for, and procedures 
governing the return of controlled property to the Department 
of Defense.

        activities (sec. 1052)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1060b) that 
would amend Section 2576a of title 10, United States Code, to 
include border security activities as a specific category 
eligible for the transfer of excess personal property of the 
Department of Defense.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We note that any controlled equipment, as designated in 
Department of Defense Instruction 4160.28, Volume 2, or any 
succeeding instruction, transferred to the Department of 
Homeland Security through the ``1033 program'' as amended by 
this section remains the property of the Department of Defense, 
and this section does not authorize the Department of Homeland 
Security to transfer controlled DOD equipment to any non-
federal entity. We expect the Department of Defense and the 
Department of Homeland Security to use memoranda of agreement 
similar to those used for the transfer of equipment to law 
enforcement agencies to state the conditions of transfer and 
compliance, including that non-compliance requires the return 
of all equipment to DOD.

Management of military technicians (sec. 1053)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1046) that 
would convert not less than 20 percent of the general 
administration, clerical, financial, and office service 
occupation positions identified in the report of the Secretary 
of Defense under section 519 of the Ike Skelton National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 112-
81; 125 Stat. 1397) from military technician (dual status) 
positions to positions filled by individuals who are employed 
under section 3103 of title 5, United States Code, by no later 
than January 1, 2017. The provision also requires the phased-in 
termination of military technicians (non-dual status) to begin 
on January 1, 2017.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Limitation on transfer of certain AH-64 Apache helicopters from Army 
        National Guard to regular Army and related personnel levels 
        (sec. 1054)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1053) that would 
change section 1712 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Authority to provide training and support to personnel of foreign 
        ministries of defense (sec. 1055)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (1082) that 
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to provide training to 
personnel of foreign ministries of defense (or ministries with 
security force oversight), or regional organizations with 
security missions for the purpose of: (1) enhancing civilian 
oversight of foreign security forces; (2) establishing 
responsible defense governance and internal controls in order 
to help build effective, transparent, and accountable defense 
institutions; (3) assessing organizational weaknesses and 
establishing a roadmap for addressing shortfalls; and (4) 
enhancing ministerial, general or joint staff, service level 
core competencies such as personnel and readiness, acquisition 
and logistics, strategy and policy, and financial management.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset the 
authority on December 31, 2017.

Information operations and engagement technology demonstrations (sec. 
        1056)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1055) that would 
authorize the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot program 
or multiple pilot programs related to information and strategic 
communications capabilities to support the geographic and 
functional combatant commanders.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to carry out a series of technology 
demonstrations, subject to the availability of funds for such 
purpose or to a prior approval reprogramming, related to 
information operations and information engagement to support 
the geographic and functional combatant commanders, with 
associated notification requirements.

Prohibition on the use of funds for the retirement of helicopter sea 
        combat squadron 84 and 85 aircraft (sec. 1057)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1056) that would 
prohibit the obligation of appropriated funds to retire, 
prepare to retire, transfer or place in stowage any aircraft in 
Helicopter Sea Squadrons 84 and 85 until the Secretary of the 
Navy certifies to Congress that the Navy has conducted a cost-
benefit analysis, identified a replacement capability and 
deployed the capability.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
    We expect the directed cost-benefit analysis to include any 
cost-sharing arrangements between the combatant commanders, 
including U.S. Special Operations Command, and the Navy, as 
well as a long term plan for recapitalization of the deployed 
capability.

Limitation on availability of funds for destruction of certain 
        landmines (sec. 1058)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1057) that 
limits the Department of Defense's ability to destroy any anti-
personnel landmines (APL) until the Secretary of Defense 
provides a comprehensive study on the tactical and operational 
impacts of a ban on APL, a strategy for replacing current APL 
systems that are compliant with current DOD policy, and a 
certification that alternative systems will not endanger 
members of the Armed Forces. The provision provides an 
exception for landmines certified as unsafe by the Secretary.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
required certification and would link the limitation on the 
obligation or expenditure of funds for the destruction of anti-
personnel landmine munitions, with the exception included in 
the House provision, to the delivery of a new report to be 
delivered to Congress within 180 days after the enactment of 
this Act.
    We understand the Secretary of Defense is conducting an 
Analysis of Alternatives (AOA) on Area Denial Capability 
Development to include next generation anti-personnel 
landmines, and that the AOA is expected to be complete in the 
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. We expect this AOA to 
inform the report required in this provision. We further direct 
the Secretary of Defense to provide the AOA to the 
congressional defense committees on its completion.

congressional committees, not later than 120 days after the 
enactment of this Act, a report containing summaries of the 
defense planning guidance and contingency planning guidance 
developed in accordance with the requirements of such section, 
and to include those summaries in the annual budget documents 
submitted to Congress. Additionally, this section would provide 
a limitation on the obligation or expenditure of 25 percent of 
the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act for 
Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide, for the Office of the 
Secretary of Defense, until 15 days after the date on which the 
Secretary of Defense submits the first report required by this 
section.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
funding limitation for the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

Expedited meetings of the National Commission on the Future of the Army 
        (sec. 1061)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1069) that would 
amend section 1702(f) of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
McKeon National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2015 
(Public Law 113-291: 128 Stat. 3665). The section would be 
amended by adding at the end the following new sentence: 
``Section 10 of Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 
I) shall not apply to a meeting of the Commission unless the 
meeting is attended by 5 or more members of the Commission.''

    The Senate recedes.

Modification of certain reports submitted by Comptroller General of the 
        United States (sec. 1062)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1062) that would 
amend section 3255(a)(2) of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2455), to provide the Comptroller 
General of the United States, in any odd-numbered year, 150 
days to submit the report required by such section. This 
provision would also amend section 3134 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) to 
eliminate a requirement for the Comptroller General to conduct 
a final review of all projects carried out by the Department of 
Energy's Office of Environmental Management using American 
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Public Law 111-5) funds.
    The Senate amendment contained two similar provisions (sec. 
3120 and 3121) that would extend the Government Accountability 
Office's annual reporting deadline for reviewing the budget of 
the National Nuclear Security Administration weapons program 
from 90 days to 150 days in odd-numbered years when NNSA is 
required to submit a detailed Stockpile Stewardship Management 
Plan (SSMP). Additionally, section 3121 would repeal phase 
three of section 3134 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) related to defense 
environmental cleanup projects, as the Government 
Accountability Office has reported on all phases of this 
project.
    The Senate recedes. We emphasize that, to support the 
legislative calendar in odd-numbered years, the Comptroller 
General should still provide the congressional defense 
committees interim briefings on the SSMP.

on the Department of Defense's plans for implementing the 
geographically distributed force laydown in the area of 
responsibility of U.S. Pacific Command.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Independent study of national security strategy formulation process 
        (sec. 1064)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1064) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to contract with an 
independent research entity to carry out a study of the 
Department of Defense role in, and process for, the formulation 
of national security strategy. This study would include several 
case studies on the role of the Department of Defense in the 
formulation of previous national security strategies and issues 
related to the formulation process throughout the history of 
the United States and a complete review and analysis of the 
current national security strategy formulation process as it 
relates to the Department of Defense.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would also 
require the report to include recommendations for the executive 
and legislative branches on the best practices for enabling the 
Department of Defense to formulate long-term strategy. We 
believe the Secretary of Defense should continue to make every 
effort to recruit, cultivate, and further strategic thinking 
within the Department.

operational needs of the remotely piloted aircraft community.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Studies of fleet platform architectures for the Navy (sec. 1067)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1021) that 
would direct the Secretary of Defense to commission three 
studies to be submitted to the congressional defense committees 
in unclassified, and to the extent necessary, in classified 
versions to recommend potential future fleet architectures. 
These studies would provide competing visions and alternatives 
for future fleet architectures. One study would be performed by 
the Department of the Navy, with input from the Naval Surface 
Warfare Center Dahlgren Division. The second study would be 
performed by a federally funded research and development 
center. The third study would be conducted by a qualified 
independent, non-governmental institute, as selected by the 
Secretary of Defense.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
required submission date of the reports to April 1, 2016.
    We note that the majority of the total ownership costs for 
Navy surface ships, almost 70 percent, is comprised of 
operating and support costs incurred over the life of a ship. 
Personnel costs are the largest contributor to operating and 
support costs incurred over a ship's life cycle. As such, 
transitioning from the personnel- and workload-intensive ships 
of the past to optimally crewed ships with reduced workloads 
has potential to free up resources for the Navy to use in 
recapitalizing the fleet. However, previous studies have found 
that reduced and optimal manning initiatives were implemented 
without complete analysis and may have had detrimental effects 
on crew training and the material condition of some legacy 
class ships. In addition, reductions in crew size are 
frequently offset by increases in shore support and contractor 
personnel to address shipboard workload.
    The Navy's newest surface ship classes, the Ford-class 
aircraft carrier, the Littoral Combat Ship and the Zumwalt-
class destroyer, have been designed to leverage technology and 
optimal manning concepts to reduce the total crew sizes aboard 
these ships, but the impact of these efforts on reducing total 
ownership costs have not been fully demonstrated. Therefore, we 
direct the Comptroller General of the United States to prepare 
a report to the congressional defense committees by July 1, 
2016 as to the following elements:
          1. To what extent has the Navy implemented reduced 
        manning initiatives in the surface fleet?
          2. To what extent has the Navy identified total 
        manpower requirements, including both shipboard and 
        shore-based, to support optimally manned ships over 
        their life cycle?
          3. To what extent have manning reductions on Navy 
        surface ships resulted in reductions to total ownership 
        costs and to what extent has the Navy realized its 
        projected manpower reductions and cost savings?
          4. How have reduced manning initiatives impacted the 
        Navy's plans to operate and support ship classes in the 
        areas of personnel, training, and maintenance (e.g., 
        training qualification times, contractor support for 
        shipboard maintenance, shipboard system casualties)?
          5. To what extent does the Navy rely on technological 
        innovations and design features to enable manning 
        reductions in new ship construction, and to what extent 
        have these reductions been realized after the ships 
        have entered service?

Report on strategy to protect United States national security interests 
        in the Arctic region (sec. 1068)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1043) that 
would direct the Secretary of Defense to submit not later than 
1 year after the date of enactment of this Act a report that

this Act on the administration and oversight Department of 
Veterans Affairs of contracts for the design and construction 
of major medical facility projects, as defined in section 
8104(a)(3)(A) of title 38, United States Code.

Representatives not later than March 1, 2016, and each year 
thereafter, the most current Department of Defense Munitions 
and Munitions Sufficiency Assessments, as defined in Department 
of Defense Instruction 3000.04. The provision would also 
require the Department of Defense to provide the committees the 
most recently approved Joint Requirements Oversight Council 
memo resulting from the annual Munitions Requirements Process.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset the 
requirement to submit reports and assessments in the provision 
2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act.

Potential role for United States ground forces in the Pacific theater 
        (sec. 1071)

assessment of a potential future role for U.S. ground forces in 
the island chains of the western Pacific in creating anti-
access/area denial (A2/AD) capabilities in cooperation with 
host nations to deter and defeat aggression in the region.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with amendments.
    We direct the Secretary and the Chairman to conduct the 
assessment required by subsection (a) using operations research 
methods and wargaming, in addition to historical analysis of 
the use of ground forces by the United States and Japan in the 
Pacific theater during World War II, technical analysis, 
analysis of force structure impacts, and any other analysis 
they deem appropriate. Further, in making this assessment, the 
Secretary should consider the potential geopolitical impact on 
the United States posture in the Pacific theater associated 
with a strategy of long-term engagement by United States ground 
forces.
    We also direct the Secretary and the Chairman to confer 
with U.S. Pacific Command; the Joint Requirements and Analysis 
Division and the wargaming resources of the Warfighting 
Analysis Division of the Force Structure, Resources, and 
Assessment Directorate of the Joint Staff, augmented as 
necessary and appropriate from the war colleges of the military 
departments; the Office of Net Assessment; any appropriate 
federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs); and 
any other organizations or divisions as they deem appropriate.
    Additionally, we note that the term ``ground forces'' in 
this section is inclusive of all U.S. military services, 
including both the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps.

    The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
repeal of reports to those reports enacted by a National 
Defense Authorization Act. The amendment also requires the 
Department of Defense to provide the congressional defense 
committees a list of all reports still required, the citation 
for each report, and a draft legislative provision for the 
repeal of such reports.
    We note the importance and value of reports from the 
Department of Defense as a key enabler of effective oversight. 
However, we also note the burden excessive reporting places on 
the Department and we are eager to strike a balance in the 
coming years.

would mandate the implementation of reforms in the personnel 
security clearance process, insider threat detection and 
prevention, and physical security in the Department of Defense 
(DOD) and elsewhere in the Federal Government.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with technical and clarifying amendments.
    The provision would:
          (1) Require the Secretary of Defense to develop a 
        plan to implement Continuous Evaluation (``CE'') for 
        Department of Defense employees to reduce critical gaps 
        in background investigations; to develop and implement 
        an Insider Threat strategy detailing the Department's 
        plan to provide a centralized capability that can 
        quickly analyze the results of automated records checks 
        and reports of behavior of concern and recommend action 
        as appropriate; to centralize the programmatic 
        authority of such activities under one official (the 
        Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence); to 
        provide resources for the expedited deployment of 
        identity management systems for access to DOD 
        facilities which was a critical gap identified in the 
        aftermath of the Fort Hood and Washington Navy Yard 
        shootings; and to centralize control of requests for 
        security clearances from the Office of Personnel 
        Management (OPM) to achieve efficiencies, as well as 
        other key recommendations resulting from the study by 
        the Director of Cost Analysis and Program Evaluation 
        mandated by section 907 of the National Defense 
        Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014.
          (2) Require the Secretary of Defense to develop 
        standards for physical and logical access to secured 
        facilities and information systems, and requires the 
        Secretary, in coordination with the Office of 
        Management and Budget (OMB), the Chair of the 
        Performance Accountability Council (PAC), and the 
        Administrator of the Government Services 
        Administration, to develop a capability to share and 
        apply electronic identity information across the 
        government.
          (3) Require OMB to formalize the Security, 
        Suitability and Credentialing Line of Business to 
        ensure adequate oversight and efficient investments are 
        made across the enterprise.
          (4) Require the PAC Chair to develop a plan to ensure 
        reciprocity management systems function effectively and 
        securely. The intent is also for agencies to formulate 
        a plan to address how an automated and continuous 
        background check for national security personnel will 
        travel with that individual as long as they hold a 
        clearance, regardless of changes in employer and 
        program or contract support.
          (5) Require the PAC Chair, along with the Security 
        and Suitability Executive Agents and the Secretary of 
        Defense, to jointly develop a plan to ensure 
        implementation of uniform self-reporting requirements 
        for all personnel who hold a clearance, including 
        contractors. The provision mandates that reported 
        information be shared with those who have a need to 
        know, to ensure that individuals with derogatory 
        information are not allowed to move around the 
        government without the negative information being 
        known.
    The second part of the provision would:
          (1) Clarify and update the agencies covered under 
        section 9101. This section has not been updated since 
        2000--before the creation of the Department of Homeland 
        Security and the Office of the Director of National 
        Intelligence. This revision also includes agencies that 
        are delegated authority by the Security and Suitability 
        Executive Agents and expands the ``covered agency'' 
        definition to explicitly include contractor background 
        investigators working on behalf of covered agencies.
          (2) Clarify and update the applicable purposes of 
        investigation to expressly include basic suitability or 
        fitness assessments, credentialing under Homeland 
        Security Presidential Directive 12, Transportation 
        Security Administration Security Threat Assessment 
        Programs, and Federal Aviation Administration checks 
        required by Federal Statute.
          (3) Permit investigative agencies to conduct both 
        biometric (fingerprint) and biographic checks for 
        criminal history records information, as appropriate. 
        The investigative agencies are to determine what is 
        appropriate. Nothing under this section prohibits the 
        Federal Bureau of Investigation from requiring a 
        request for criminal history record information.
          (4) Amend section 9101 to indicate that when more 
        than one automated system can provide the same 
        information, the most cost-effective system to the 
        Federal Government shall be used.
          (5) Require that the Department of State, Bureau of 
        Consular Affairs, American Citizen Services (ACS), 
        release information about in individual's interaction 
        with law enforcement or intelligence organizations 
        abroad if that individual has contacted ACS for 
        assistance after they have been arrested or has been in 
        contact with intelligence agencies of a foreign country 
        while abroad.
          (6) Require contractors who conduct background 
        investigations on behalf of a covered agency to comply 
        with necessary security requirements when accessing an 
        automated information delivery system to request 
        criminal history record information.
          (7) Clarify Title 5 U.S.C. section 7512 to strengthen 
        the Federal Government's ability to take action against 
        individuals who falsify background investigation 
        information.
          (8) Require an annual report from the PAC to describe 
        and analyze the extent and effectiveness of federal, 
        state, and local systems for sharing criminal history 
        record information; analyze the extent and 
        effectiveness of education programs regarding criminal 
        history record information sharing; provide updates on 
        the implementation of best practices for sharing 
        criminal history record information, including ongoing 
        limitations experienced by investigators; and provide 
        descriptions of other limitations to investigators and 
        State and local law enforcement agencies.
          (9) Request a Government Accountability Office report 
        summarizing the major characteristics of federal 
        critical infrastructure protection access controls, as 
        well as background check and credentialing standards 
        for the protection of critical infrastructure and key 
        resources.

requires the CMP to provide a report to Congress after the 
conclusion of the pilot program, obtain a federal firearm 
license to conduct any and all handgun sales, and adhere to all 
local, state, and federal laws in respect to handgun sales.

Modification of requirements for transferring aircraft within the Air 
        Force inventory (sec. 1088)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1086) that would 
amend section 345 of the Ike Skelton National Defense

require the Secretary of the Navy to submit a mine 
countermeasures master plan to the congressional defense 
committees along with the annual budget request of each fiscal 
year from 2018 through 2023. This provision would also require 
the Secretary of the Navy to submit a one-time report to the 
congressional defense committees within 1 year of enactment of 
this Act as to current and future mine countermeasure force 
structure based on current mine countermeasure capabilities, 
including an assessment as to whether certain decommissioned 
ships should be retained in reserve operating status.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require, as 
part of the one-time report, an assessment of the Littoral 
Combat Ship (LCS) mine countermeasures mission package 
increment one performance against the initial operational test 
and evaluation criteria, as well as an assessment of other 
commercially available mine countermeasures systems that could 
supplement or supplant LCS mine countermeasures mission package 
systems.

Congressional notification and briefing requirement on ordered 
        evacuations of United States embassies and consulates involving 
        the use of United States Armed Forces (sec. 1091)

express a sense of Congress on the importance of ensuring the 
safety and security of members of the Armed Forces of the 
United States overseas pending an ordered evacuation of a 
United States embassy or consulate and require the Secretary of 
Defense and the Secretary of State to notify and brief 
appropriate congressional committees as soon as practicable 
after the initiation of an ordered evacuation.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
    We believe that it is critical to ensure the safety and 
security of all U.S. personnel stationed overseas, including 
members of the Department of Defense ordered to assist in an 
ordered evacuation of a U.S. embassy or consulate. We expect 
the notification required by this provision should include, to 
the extent practicable: (1) an overview of the ordered 
evacuation, (2) an overview of the manner and location from 
which the Department of State will continue to conduct the 
duties and responsibilities of the embassy or consulate, (3) a

number of affected sites that received the live Bacillus 
anthracis over time.

    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

manufacturing, and industrial base policy to the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Logistics and Materiel Readiness.

Consideration of strategic materials in preliminary design review

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 859) that would 
require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics to ensure that Department of Defense 
Instruction 5000.02 and other applicable guidance receive full 
consideration during preliminary design review for strategic 
materials requirements over the life cycle of the product.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Authority to transfer funds to the National Nuclear Security 
        Administration to sustain nuclear weapons modernization and 
        Naval Reactors

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1002) that would 
provide the Secretary of Defense the authority to transfer up 
to $150.0 million to the nuclear weapons and naval reactor 
programs of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) 
if the amount authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made 
available for fiscal year 2016 for the weapons activities of 
the NNSA is less than $8.9 billion (the amount specified for 
fiscal year 2016 in the report required by section 1251 of the

    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We note that weapon systems are increasingly reliant on 
software and the sustainment of these systems presents new 
issues and challenges. Weapon systems may include proprietary 
data and unique software that could limit sustainment to a 
single entity and may result in cost increases and increased 
risk to operations and readiness.
    We recommend the Department examine private sector and 
government best practices to inform its software sustainment 
strategy. Additionally, we encourage the Secretary of Defense 
to determine if the current definitions and policies regarding 
software sustainment provides adequate guidance for program 
managers to ensure software system sustainment planning include 
assessments of both public and private capabilities, costs, and 
operational risks.

documents relating to the transfer of individuals detained at 
Guantanamo to Qatar.

Treatment of certain previously transferred Army National Guard 
        helicopters as counting against number transferable under 
        exception to limitation on transfer of Army National Guard 
        helicopters

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1045) that 
would require the Secretary of the Army to report to Congress 
the number of Army National Guard AH-64 helicopters that have 
been transferred to the original equipment manufacturer for 
remanufacture. The provision would also treat that number as 
counting against the number required to be transferred from the 
Army National Guard to the regular Army pursuant to section 
1712 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Sense of Congress on consideration of the full range of Department of 
        Defense manpower worldwide in decisions on the proper mix of 
        military, civilian, and contractor personnel to accomplish the 
        National Defense Strategy

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1047) that 
expressed the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense 
should consider the full range of Department of Defense 
manpower available worldwide in making decisions on the proper 
mix of military, civilian, and contractor personnel to 
accomplish the National Defense Strategy.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Space available travel for environmental morale leave by certain 
        spouses and children of deployed members of the Armed Forces

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1054) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to authorize space-available 
travel for environmental morale leave by certain unaccompanied 
spouses and dependent children of deployed members of the Armed 
Forces.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note that that effective June 9, 2015 the Department of 
Defense (DOD) policy on space-available travel for dependents 
of deployed members was updated to authorize dependents of 
military members deployed for thirty or more consecutive days 
to travel space-available on DOD aircraft.

Limitation on availability of funds for modifying command and control 
        of United States Pacific Fleet

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1058) that would 
limit the availability of fiscal year 2016 funds to modify 
command and control relationships to give Fleet Forces Command 
operational and administrative control of Navy forces assigned 
to the Pacific Fleet.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Prohibition on closure of United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, 
        Cuba

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1059) that 
prohibited the President from closing or abandoning the United 
States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and required that 
the obligations of the United States under Article III of the 
Treaty Between the United States and Cuba signed on May 29, 
1934 are met.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Civilian Aviation Asset Military Partnership Pilot Program

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1060a) that 
would establish a pilot program that would grant authority to 
the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Federal 
Aviation Administration. The aim of the Civilian Aviation Asset 
Military Partnership Pilot Program would be to award 
competitive grants of no more than $2.5 million for 
infrastructure or tower improvements and repairs at up to three 
eligible airports that support military and civilian operations 
per fiscal year.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Limitation on use of funds to deactivate the 440th Airlift Wing

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1060c) that 
would limit the availability of funds authorized to be 
appropriated for the deactivation of the 440th Airlift Wing 
until the Secretary of Defense certified the deactivation of 
the wing would not affect the military readiness of the 
airborne and special operations units stationed at Fort Bragg, 
North Carolina.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
136).
    The House recedes.
    We agree to include the Senate provision elsewhere in this 
Act because it would require sufficient certification by the 
Secretaries and Chiefs of Staff of the Army and the Air Force 
as to the military readiness of Army airborne and special 
operations units regarding support from Air Force airlift 
operations.

Study and report on role of Department of Defense in formulation of 
        long-term strategy

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1065) that 
requires the Secretary of Defense to direct the Office of Net 
Assessment (ONA) to conduct a study on the role of the 
Department of Defense in the formulation of long-term strategy, 
and to submit a report to the congressional defense committees 
on the results of the study not later than 2 years after the 
date of the enactment of this Act.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note our continued support for the work of the Office of 
Net Assessment and applaud senior Department leadership for 
their engagement with ONA.

Report on plans for the use of domestic airfields for homeland defense 
        and disaster response

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1065) that 
would require, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the 
Secretary of Transportation, to submit to the appropriate 
committees of Congress a report setting forth an assessment of 
the plans for airfields in the United States that are required 
to support homeland defense and local disaster response 
missions.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with 
the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secretary of 
Transportation, to submit to the Committee on Armed Services, 
the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, and 
the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the 
Senate and the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on 
Homeland Security, and the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure of the House of Representatives a report that 
contains an assessment of the plans for airfields in the United 
States that are required to support homeland defense and 
disaster response missions. The report shall include:
          (1) A description of the criteria used to determine 
        the capabilities and locations of airfields in the 
        United States needed to support safe operations of 
        military aircraft in the execution of homeland defense 
        and local disaster response missions;
          (2) A description of the processes and procedures in 
        place to ensure that contingency plans for the use of 
        airfields in the United States that support both 
        military and civilian air operations are coordinated 
        among the Department of Defense and other Federal 
        agencies with jurisdiction over those airfields;
          (3) An assessment of the impact, if any, to logistics 
        and resource planning as a result of the reduction of 
        certain capabilities of airfields in the United States 
        that support both military and civilian air operations; 
        and
          (4) A review of the existing agreements and 
        authorities between the Commander of the United States 
        Northern Command and the Administrator of the Federal 
        Aviation Administration that allow for consultation on 
        decisions that impact the capabilities of airfields in 
        the United States that support both military and 
        civilian air operations.
    The report shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may 
include a classified annex.

Report on potential threats to members of the Armed Forces of United 
        States Naval Forces Central Command and United States Fifth 
        Fleet in Bahrain

    The House bill contained a provision (Sec. 1066) that would 
require a report on potential threats to members of the Armed 
Forces of the United States Naval Forces Central Command and 
the United States Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to 
the Armed Services Committees of the House of Representatives 
and the Senate, not later than 120 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, on threats posed to Department of 
Defense personnel and operations associated with United States 
military installations in Bahrain. The report should, at a 
minimum, include an assessment of the current security 
situation in Bahrain, the safety and security of Department of 
Defense personnel and dependents, and appropriate measures to 
mitigate the threat to U.S. operations and personnel including 
potential alternative facilities should U.S. personnel require 
temporary relocation.

Conflict of interest certification for investigations relating to 
        whistleblower retaliation

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1088) that 
would require each investigator involved in a covered 
investigation to submit to the Inspector General of the 
Department of Defense or the Inspector General of the military 
department, as applicable, a certification that there was no 
conflict of interest between the investigator, any witness 
involved in the covered investigation, and the covered employee 
or member of the Armed Forces, as applicable, during the 
conduct of the covered investigation.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We expect that the Department of Defense and the military 
services will establish uniform procedures to ensure there are 
no conflicts of interest for persons investigating 
whistleblower complaints.

Determination and disclosure of transportation costs incurred by 
        Secretary of Defense for congressional trips outside the United 
        States

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1091) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to determine the cost of 
transportation provided in the case of a trip taken by a 
Member, officer, or employee of the Senate or the House of 
Representatives in carrying out official duties outside the 
United States and to report that cost not later than 10 days 
after completion of the trip to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate or the House of Representatives, and to 
make the information available on the Secretary's official 
public website until the expiration of the 4 year period which 
begins on the final day of the trip involved.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We support public disclosure of official travel by Members, 
officers, and employees of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives. To this end, we note that section 1754(b) of 
title 22, United States Code, contains reporting and disclosure 
requirements for congressional travel outside the United 
States, including a requirement for reports to be open to 
public inspection and published in the Congressional Record. We 
recognize that there are circumstances under which 
transportation provided by the Department of Defense best meets 
the needs of congressional delegations, ranging from protecting 
the safety and security of the delegations, expediency, and 
accessing destinations that have little or no commercial air 
service. We further note that the Committees on Armed Services 
of the Senate and the House of Representatives each maintain 
policies and processes to provide further oversight of travel 
requests by members and employees of the committees.

Observance of Veterans Day

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1095) that would 
amend chapter 1 of title 36, United States Code, to add a new 
section that would require the President to issue a 
proclamation each year calling on the people of the United 
States to observe 2 minutes of silence on Veterans Day in honor 
of the service and sacrifice of veterans throughout the history 
of the Nation.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Business case analysis of decision to maintain C-130J aircraft at 
        Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1096) that would 
require the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct, not later 
than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, a 
business case analysis of the decision to maintain 10 C-130J 
aircraft at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We recognize that the report provided to the committees by 
the Secretary of the Air Force in April 2015 in response to as 
required by section 138 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), included information on the 
business case for maintaining 10 C-130J aircraft at Keesler Air 
Force Base, Mississippi.

Sense of Congress regarding cyber resiliency of National Guard networks 
        and communications systems

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1097) that would 
express a sense of Congress that the National Guard personnel 
need to have situational awareness and reliable communications 
in the event of an emergency, terrorist attack, or natural or 
man-made disaster, and that the current communications and 
networking systems for the National Guard, including commercial 
wireless solutions, are interoperable with the systems of 
civilian first responders.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note the importance of National Guard personnel having 
robust situational awareness and reliable communications in the 
event of a natural or man-made disaster that are interoperable 
with the systems of civilian first responders. In disaster 
situations, the National Guard serves as a critical bridge 
linking military and civilian response capabilities, and thus 
has the requirement to maintain a broad range of communications 
equipment. We encourage the National Guard to constantly 
explore ways to improve and expand its communications and 
networking capabilities to provide for enhanced performance and 
resilience in the face of cyber attacks or disruptions, as well 
as other instances of degradation.

                  Title XI--Civilian Personnel Matters


                     Legislative Provisions Adopted


Procedures for reduction in force of Department of Defense civilian 
        personnel (sec. 1101)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 906) that would 
express the sense of the Congress that the Secretary of Defense 
should proceed with the collaborative work with employee 
representatives on the ``New Beginnings'' performance 
management and workforce incentive system and begin 
implementation of the new system at the earliest possible date.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1103) that 
would provide the Secretary of Defense with the authority to 
establish procedures to provide that, in implementing any 
reduction in force for civilian positions in the Department of 
Defense in the competitive service or the excepted service, the 
determination of which employees shall be separated from 
employment in the Department of Defense shall be made primarily 
on the basis of performance.
    The agreement includes the Senate provision with an 
amendment that would express the sense of the Congress 
contained in the House provision.

One-year extension of temporary authority to grant allowances, 
        benefits, and gratuities to civilian personnel on official duty 
        in a combat zone (sec. 1102)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1101) that would 
extend by 1 year the discretionary authority of the head of a 
federal agency to provide allowances, benefits, and gratuities 
comparable to those provided to members of the Foreign Service 
to an agency's civilian employees on official duty in a combat 
zone.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1107).
    The Senate recedes.

Extension of rate of overtime pay for Department of the Navy employees 
        performing work aboard or dockside in support of the nuclear-
        powered aircraft carrier forward deployed in Japan (sec. 1103)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1103) that would 
amend section 5542(a)(6)(B) of title 5, United States Code, to 
extend for 1 year the authority for a civilian employee of the 
Department of the Navy who is assigned to temporary duty to 
perform work aboard, or dockside in direct support of, the 
nuclear aircraft carrier that is forward deployed in Japan to 
receive overtime pay.
    The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
1108).
    The agreement includes this provision.

Modification to temporary authorities for certain positions at 
        Department of Defense research and engineering facilities (sec. 
        1104)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1104) that would 
modify section 1107 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) to allow for the 
noncompetitive conversion of students that have graduated from 
an applicable institution of higher learning to a permanent 
appointee. In addition, the House provision would change the 
percentages of the work force that would be eligible for 
certain direct hiring authorities.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1109) that would change the percentage of the work force that 
would be eligible for bachelor's degree holder direct hiring 
authority.
    The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

Required probationary period for new employees of the Department of 
        Defense (sec. 1105)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1101) that 
would set the required probationary period for new employees of 
the Department of Defense at 2 years. The provision would also 
give discretionary authority to the service secretary concerned 
to extend a probationary period of a new employee of the 
Department of Defense.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement contains the Senate provision with a 
technical amendment.
    In extending the probationary period for new employees of 
the Department of Defense (DOD), we expect the Secretary of 
Defense to ensure that supervisors optimize the additional 
probationary time by educating supervisors on the importance of 
tracking when an individual's probationary period is ending and 
directing the supervisor to make an affirmative decision or 
otherwise take appropriate action. The Secretary should take 
steps to ensure DOD supervisors are aware of the range of tools 
and guidance available through the Office of Personnel 
Management, including on-line and in-person training and 
guidebooks. We note that the probationary period extension will 
be beneficial only if an agency has effective performance 
management practices in place and uses the extra time for the 
purpose intended. We expect the Secretary of Defense to assess 
the adequacy of leadership training provided to supervisors in 
DOD components and Defense agencies in order to ensure 
supervisors obtain the skills needed to effectively conduct 
performance management responsibilities.

Delay of periodic step increase for civilian employees of the 
        Department of Defense based upon unacceptable performance (sec. 
        1106)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1102) that 
would provide the Secretary of Defense with the authority to 
require satisfactory performance by civilian employees in order 
to qualify for periodic step increases based on that service.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

United States Cyber Command workforce (sec. 1107)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1104) that 
would provide enhanced hiring and retention authorities to the 
Secretary of Defense for civilians on the staff of the United 
States Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) and the elements of the 
CYBERCOM components of the Armed Forces. These enhanced 
authorities are modeled after the personnel authorities in 
title 10 provided for the staff of the intelligence components 
of the Department of Defense. These authorities are also 
similar to those that Congress provided in 2014 for the cyber 
workforce at the Department of Homeland Security. The provision 
also would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a plan 
to Congress on implementation of these authorities.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with technical and clarifying amendments, 
including an amendment that would delay the effective date of 
the authority granted under this section until 30 days after 
receipt of an implementation plan submitted by the Secretary of 
Defense to the congressional defense committees.

One-year extension of authority to waive annual limitation on premium 
        pay and aggregate limitation on pay for Federal civilian 
        employees working overseas (sec. 1108)

    The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1105) that 
would authorize the head of an executive agency to waive 
limitation on the aggregate of basic and premium pay payable 
through calendar year 2016 to an employee who performs work in 
an overseas location that is in the area of responsibility of 
the Commander, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), or a location 
that was formerly in the CENTCOM but has been moved to an area 
of responsibility of the Commander, U.S. Africa Command, in 
support of a contingency operation or an operation in response 
to a declared emergency. The amount payable may not exceed the 
total annual compensation payable to the Vice President under 
section 104 of title 3, United States Code.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Pilot program on dynamic shaping of the workforce to improve the 
        technical skills and expertise at certain Department of Defense 
        laboratories (sec. 1109)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1111) that 
would authorize Department of Defense laboratories to conduct a 
pilot program to use specific new authorities to improve the 
dynamic shaping of their technical workforces, including the 
ability to hire technical experts into flexible length and 
renewable term appointments, exercise flexibility in applying 
existing authorities for accessing the expertise of recently 
retired technical personnel and offer voluntary early 
retirement and voluntary separation incentives.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The agreement contains the Senate provision with the 
inclusion of a few technical clarifying amendments.
    We believe that the ability of the Department of Defense 
laboratories to be flexible in both hiring and shaping their 
workforce is critical to maintaining a world-class research 
workforce that can adapt over time to new and emerging areas of 
technical need. The Senate and House Armed Services Committees, 
in coordination with the Oversight and Government Reform 
Committee of the House of Representatives and the Homeland 
Security and Government Affairs Committee of the Senate, have 
been active in modifying and seeking new authorities to make 
the Defense laboratories agile and attractive places for 
civilian researchers and engineers.
    We believe that taking stock of the authorities granted 
over the past 10 years and understanding their effects on 
attracting, recruiting and retaining a skilled workforce are 
important. Therefore, we direct the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering, in coordination with the 
military departments and laboratory directors, to brief the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
Representatives, the Oversight and Government Reform Committee 
of the House of Representatives and the Homeland Security and 
Government Affairs Committee of the Senate no later than 90 
days of the enactment of this Act. This briefing should include 
how the military departments, the laboratories, and the Office 
of the Secretary of Defense are using these authorities, 
metrics for understanding the effectiveness of these 
authorities, and any recommendations for legislative or 
regulatory action to improve the functioning of these 
authorities.

Pilot program on temporary exchange of financial management and 
        acquisition personnel (sec. 1110)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1112) that 
would authorize a pilot program to assess the feasibility and 
advisability of the temporary assignment of financial 
management and acquisition personnel to nontraditional defense 
contractors as defined by section 2303(9) of title 10, United 
States Code, and of covered employees of such contractors to 
the Department of Defense. Nontraditional defense contractors 
are commercial companies who either do not do business with the 
Department of Defense or do so exclusively through commercial 
terms and conditions. This authority would expire on September 
30, 2019.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would make the 
authority permissive rather than mandatory and would modify the 
terms and conditions of participation in the pilot program by 
the private-sector employees.
    We believe that any exchange of government personnel with 
industry designed to improve skills and knowledge of finance 
and acquisition should be with those types of firms that do not 
traditionally do business with the Department of Defense and as 
such may offer different business management approaches to 
address similar problems. These firms also do not pose the same 
potential conflict of interest concerns that any exchange with 
a traditional defense contractor would pose.

Pilot program on enhanced pay authority for certain acquisition and 
        technology positions in the Department of Defense (sec. 1111)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1113) that 
would authorize a pilot program to assess the feasibility and 
advisability of using a higher-level pay authority to attract 
and retain high-quality acquisition and technology experts in 
positions responsible for management and developing complex, 
high-cost, technological acquisition efforts of the Department 
of Defense. We are concerned that in some cases the Department 
of Defense cannot competitively compensate the senior-level 
government program managers and engineers required for the 
government to oversee major defense acquisitionprograms. This 
provision would allow, in select cases, for the Department of Defense 
to pay a higher rate of compensation to recruit and retain senior 
acquisition officials who are exceptionally well qualified. These 
officials would be limited to a 5-year term. This authority would 
expire on October 1, 2020.
    The House bill contained no similar amendment.
    The House recedes.

Pilot program on direct hire authority for veteran technical experts 
        into the defense acquisition workforce (sec. 1112)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1114) that 
would authorize a 5-year pilot program for the service 
acquisition executives of each military department to directly 
appoint qualified veteran candidates for scientific, technical, 
engineering, and mathematics positions in the defense 
acquisition activities. This direct hire authority would be 
limited to no more than 1 percent of the total number of 
positions in the acquisition workforce in each military 
department that are filled as of the close of the previous 
fiscal year.
    The House bill contained no similar amendment.
    The House recedes.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to 
the congressional defense committees on the use of this 
authority no later than 2 years after the date of enactment of 
the Act.

Direct hire authority for technical experts into the defense 
        acquisition workforce (sec. 1113)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1115) that 
would authorize the service secretaries of each military 
department to directly appoint qualified candidates possessing 
a scientific or engineering degree to positions in the defense 
acquisition activities. This direct hire authority would be 
limited to no more than 5 percent of the total number of 
scientific and engineering positions in the acquisition 
workforce in each military department that are filled as of the 
close of the previous fiscal year. This authority would expire 
December 31, 2020.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted


Authority to provide additional allowances and benefits for Defense 
        Clandestine Service employees

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1102) that would 
grant the Secretary of Defense the authority to provide 
additional allowances and benefits for Defense Clandestine 
Service employees.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Preference eligibility for members of reserve components of the Armed 
        Forces appointed to competitive service; clarification of 
        appeal rights

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1105) that would 
create a hiring preference for certain members of the reserve 
components of the Armed Forces for the competitive service and 
would clarify the appeals rights of individuals hired under 
section 3330a of title 5, United States Code.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

             Title XII--Matters Relating to Foreign Nations


                  Subtitle A--Training and Assistance


One-year extension of logistical support for coalition forces 
        supporting certain United States military operations (sec. 
        1201)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1201) that would 
amend section 1234 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), as most recently 
amended by section 1223 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), by authorizing 
the Secretary of Defense to provide supplies, services, 
transportation, and other logistical support to coalition 
forces supporting U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan 
during fiscal year 2016.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Strategic framework for Department of Defense security cooperation 
        (sec. 1202)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1202) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
Secretary of State, to develop a strategic framework for 
Department of Defense security cooperation to guide 
prioritization of resources and activities. This section would 
also require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
Secretary of State, to submit a report on the strategic 
framework for security cooperation to the congressional defense 
committees, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, 
and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of

Redesignation, modification, and extension of National Guard State 
        Partnership Program (sec. 1203)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1203) that would 
amend section 1205 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) by modifying and 
extending the authorization for the National Guard State 
Partnership Program (SPP) by 2 years, would require the Chief 
of the National Guard Bureau to establish and submit a list of 
core competencies to support SPP activities to the Secretary of 
Defense for approval, and would require the Secretary of 
Defense to establish a fund to administer and execute the funds 
authorized and appropriated for SPP.

State Partnership Program and direct the Under Secretary of 
Defense (Comptroller) and Under Secretary of Defense (Policy) 
to conduct an advisability and feasibility study as to whether 
a central fund should be created to support the activities 
associated with the State Partnership Program.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would make 
clarifying changes, would require the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a legislative proposal if it is found to be advisable 
and feasible to establish a central fund for the program, and 
would extend the underlying authority for the program for 5 
years.
    We encourage DOD to consider if it would be useful to 
establish a list of core competencies of the National Guard to 
be used to better educate security assistance officers and 
countries participating in the State Partnership Program about 
the capabilities that can be brought to bear by the Guard. The 
Secretary should inform the Armed Services Committees of the 
House of Representatives and the Senate if such a step is 
considered to be useful.

Extension of authority for non-reciprocal exchanges of defense 
        personnel between the United States and foreign countries (sec.

authorization for non-reciprocal exchanges of defense personnel 
between the United States and foreign countries through

    We further note that the briefing shall include a 
description of how the Department of Defense evaluates program 
and project outcomes and impact, including cost effectiveness 
and extent to which programs meet designated goals.

Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, to 
provide, on a non-reimbursable basis, logistic support, 
supplies, and services to the national military forces of an 
allied country conducting counterterrorism operations in Africa 
if the Secretary of Defense determines that the provision of

United States; and (2) critical to the timely and effective 
participation of such national military forces in such 
operations.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.

would authorize the Secretary of Defense to provide 
intelligence training to foreign military intelligence units to 
increase partner capacity.

Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence to provide semi-
annual reports to the congressional defense committees on the 
military intelligence training performed by Department of 
Defense of foreign military intelligence personnel and the 
authorities under which such activities are conducted.
    We believe that the current matrix of capacity building 
authorities may not sufficiently cover sustained intelligence 
training for foreign military forces for purposes other than 
counterterrorism operations and stability operations with whom 
the United States partners or may need to partner in the 
future. Based on the reports and any potential gaps in 
authorities, we will evaluate whether further authorities 
should be included in the 2017 authorizing legislation.

    The House recedes with an amendment requiring the Secretary 
of Defense to submit a notification to certain congressional 
committees should the national security exception be exercised.

Extension and modification of Commanders' Emergency Response Program 
        (sec. 1211)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1211) that would 
amend section 1201 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), as most recently 
amended by section 1221 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), by extending for 
1 year the Commanders' Emergency Response Program (CERP) in 
Afghanistan and authorizing $5.0 million for fiscal year 2016.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1222) that would make up to $10.0 million available during 
fiscal year 2016 for CERP in Afghanistan, and would authorize 
certain payments to redress injury and loss in Iraq.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would limit 
amounts available during Fiscal Year 2016 to not exceed $5.0 
million, require the Secretary of Defense to submit revised 
guidance to take into account the modifications to CERP made by 
this provision and would allow the Secretary to begin payments 
to redress injury and loss in Iraq 30 days after the submission 
of a report related to the conditions for which payment would 
be made and the manner in which claims for payments shall be 
verified.

Extension and modification of authority for reimbursement of certain 
        coalition nations for support provided to United States 
        military operations (sec. 1212)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1212) that would 
extend the authority for reimbursement of coalition nations for 
support provided to the U.S. for military operations in 
Afghanistan through fiscal year 2016 and would authorize $1.3 
billion. Of the $1.0 billion in reimbursement authorized for 
Pakistan during fiscal year 2016, $400.0 million would not be 
eligible for a waiver unless the Secretary of Defense certifies 
that Pakistan is conducting military operations against the 
Haqqani Network and is actively coordinating with the 
Government of Afghanistan to restrict the movement of militants 
along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1224) that would extend the authority to make Coalition Support 
Fund (CSF) payments to reimburse certain nations for support 
provided to U.S. military operations in Afghanistan and would 
authorize to $1.2 billion, of which $900.0 million would be 
provided to Pakistan. Of the $900.0 million, $100.0 million 
would be authorized for a pilot program.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
$1.2 billion and would limit the authorization for 
reimbursement to Pakistan to $900.0 million. Of the $900.0 
million, $350.0 million would not be eligible for a waiver 
unless the Secretary of Defense certifies that Pakistan has met 
certain conditions. An additional $100.0 million of CSF would 
be made available for Pakistan for direct assistance for a 
pilot program for stability activities undertaken in the 
Federally Administered Tribal Areas, including the provision of 
funds to the Pakistan military and the Pakistan Frontier Corps 
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
    We encourage the continuation of military operations 
undertaken by the Pakistan Military in the Federally 
Administered Tribal Area but note the need for further action 
against terrorist organizations such as the Haqqani Network.

Additional matter in semiannual report on enhancing security and 
        stability in Afghanistan (sec. 1213)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1213) that would 
state the sense of Congress that the President's decision to

is consistent with the ability of the Afghan National Security 
Forces to sustain itself and secure Afghanistan, and that the 
U.S. President should review maintaining the U.S. advisory 
mission beyond 2016.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1221) that would require a certification by the President to 
the congressional defense committees that the reduction of U.S. 
forces in Afghanistan will result in an acceptable level of 
risk to U.S. national security objectives.
    The House recedes with an amendment that adds an assessment 
of risks associated with the drawdown of U.S. forces to the 
semiannual report required by section 1225 of the Carl Levin 
and Howard P. `Buck' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291).

amended by section 832 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66), through December

Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), for 1 year and would 
extend the quarterly reporting requirement through March 31, 
2017. This section would authorize that, during fiscal years 
2015-16, the excess defense articles transferred from the 
stocks of the Department of Defense to the military and

Congress that the necessity of providing special immigrant 
status should be assessed at regular intervals by the Committee 
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives taking into account the scope of the current 
and planned presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and would 
make technical amendments.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of 
State, to authorize OSC-I to conduct training activities in 
support of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and Counter Terrorism 
Service personnel at a base or facility of the Government of 
Iraq. This section would limit the total authorized funding for 
operations and activities for OSC-I to $143.0 million in fiscal 
year 2016 and would require the Secretary of Defense and the 
Secretary of State to submit a report assessing how OSC-I 
integrates into Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State, not later than 
February 15, 2016, to jointly submit to certain congressional 
committees a strategy for the Middle East and to counter 
violent extremism.

Modification of authority to provide assistance to counter the Islamic 
        State of Iraq and the Levant (sec. 1223)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1223) that would 
authorize $715.0 million in fiscal year 2016 for assistance to 
the military and security forces associated with the Government 
of Iraq, of which not less than 25 percent of such funds would 
be obligated to such groups as Kurdish and tribal security 
forces with a national security mission. This section would 
require an assessment by the Secretary of Defense and Secretary 
of State of the conditions of the Government of Iraq relating 
to political inclusiveness, minority integration, and efforts 
to address grievances of ethnic and sectarian minorities. If 
the assessment is not submitted or Iraq has not substantially 
achieved the conditions contained in the assessment, the 
Secretaries would be required to withhold the provision of 
assistance pursuant to the ``Iraq Train and Equip Authority'' 
under section 1236 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) and 60 percent of 
such assistance would go directly to certain groups.
    The Senate amendment contained provisions (sec. 1225, 1229, 
1271) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the congressional defense committees within 30 days 
if the Secretary determines that equipment provided by the 
United States to Iraq has been transferred to or acquired by a 
violent extremist organization and would add an additional 
element to the quarterly report under the Iraq Train and Equip 
authority to include a list of units restricted from receiving 
assistance under that authority as a result of vetting.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the 
sense of Congress that: (1) the Islamic State of Iraq and the 
Levant poses an acute threat to the people and territorial 
integrity of Iraq (ISIL), (2) defeating ISIL is critical to 
maintaining a unified Iraq, and (3) the United States in 
coordination with coalition partners should provide security 
assistance in an expeditious and responsive manner to the 
national security forces associated with the Government of Iraq 
including Kurdish and tribal security forces or other security 
forces with a national security mission. The amendment would 
also require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
State to jointly submit an assessment, to certain congressional 
committees on the extent to which the Government of Iraq is 
increasing political inclusiveness, addressing grievances of 
ethnic and sectarian minorities, and enhancing minority 
integration in the political and military structures in Iraq. 
Taking into account such an assessment, in the event the 
President determines that the Government of Iraq has failed to 
take substantial action to: (1) increase political 
inclusiveness, (2) address the grievances of ethnic and 
sectarian minorities, and (3) enhance minority integration in 
the political and military structures in Iraq; the Secretary of 
Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, would be 
authorized to provide, in coordination to the extent 
practicable with the Government of Iraq, assistance pursuant to 
the Iraq Train and Equip authority directly to the Kurdish 
Peshmerga, Sunni tribal security forces, or other local 
security forces with a national security mission for the 
purpose of supporting international coalition efforts against 
ISIL. We note that local security forces with a national 
security mission may include, in addition to Sunni tribal 
elements, local security forces that are committed to 
protecting highly vulnerable ethnic and religious minority 
communities, such as Yazidi, Christian, Assyrian and Turkoman 
communities, against the ISIL threat. Additionally, this 
section would prohibit assistance pursuant to the Iraq Train 
and Equip authority from being provided to the Government of 
Iraq unless the Secretary of Defense certifies that the 
Government of Iraq has taken actions as may be reasonably 
necessary to safeguard against such assistance being 
transferred to, or acquired by violent extremist organizations, 
including designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) or 
an organization that is known to be under the command and 
control of, or is associated with the Government of Iran.

        Inherent Resolve (sec. 1224)

Resolve and the force protection and combat search and rescue 
requirements be continuously evaluated, and would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense 
committees a report on the U.S. Armed Forces deployed in 
support of OIR.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require a 
report to the congressional defense committees, not later than 
30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act and every 
90 days thereafter, on United States Armed Forces deployed in 
support of Operation Inherent Resolve.

that would be incurred by the Army for such program, and $42.8 
million for costs that would be incurred by the Air Force for 
such program.

would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on 
the military support the Secretary considers necessary to 
provide to recipients of assistance upon their return to Syria.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would: (1) 
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on what 
support is determined to be necessary to provide recipients of 
assistance upon their return to Syria; (2) modify quarterly 
reporting matters; and (3) require certain information to 
accompany reprogramming requests.

        border security operations (sec. 1226)

1202) that would authorize assistance to Jordan and Lebanon in 
any fiscal year through fiscal year 2020 for the purposes of 
sustaining security along their borders with Syria and/or Iraq. 
Regarding assistance to the Government of Lebanon, the 
provision would prohibit reimbursement of Hezbollah or any 
forces other than the armed forces of Lebanon.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make 
available to Jordan and Lebanon funds not to exceed $150.0 
million for each country in any 1 fiscal year for reimbursement 
from amounts authorized pursuant to section 1233 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2008 (P.L. 
110-181) and section 1534 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for fiscal year 2015 (P.L. 113-291), the Counterterrorism

its malign military activities constitute a grave threat to 
regional stability and the national security interests of the 
U.S. and its allies.

Secretary of Defense determines that there exists reasonable 
grounds to believe that Russia has deployed certain weapon 
systems onto the territory of Ukraine. Further, the Chairman of 
the Joint Chiefs of Staff shall submit to the congressional 
defense committees, no later than June 30, 2016, a strategy to 
respond to the military threat posed by the Russian Federation 
deploying covered weapons systems onto the territory of the 
Ukraine.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand the 
notification to include the deployment of covered weapon 
systems into the Russian territory of Kaliningrad, and would 
require the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to include in 
current planning options for responding to the military threat 
posed by the Russian Federation deploying covered weapons into 
the territory of Ukraine and Kaliningrad, including 
opportunities for allied cooperation. The agreement also 
addresses the requirement to report on the status of exercises 
with, planning or preparing to deploy, or deploying certain 
weapons systems, onto the territory of the Ukraine in another 
section of this Act, and includes reporting on deployment of 
such weapons systems in the Russian territory of Kaliningrad in 
that section. The provision would terminate after 5 years.

Measures in response to non-compliance by the Russian Federation with 
        its obligations under the INF Treaty (sec. 1243)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1243) that would 
require the President to submit to the appropriate 
congressional committees a notification of whether the Russian 
Federation has flight-tested, deployed, or possessed a military 
system that has achieved an initial operation capability of a 
covered missile system, and whether the Russian Federation has 
begun steps to return to full compliance with the Intermediate-
Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, including by agreeing to 
inspections and verification measures necessary to achieve high 
confidence that any covered missile system will be eliminated, 
as required by the INF Treaty upon its entry into force.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1671) that would require the President to notify the 
appropriate congressional committees with respect to whether 
the Russian Federation has flight-tested, deployed, or 
possessed a military system that has achieved an initial 
operating capability that is in violation of the INF Treaty or 
has begun taking measures to return to full compliance with the 
INF Treaty. The provision would also require the Secretary of 
Defense to submit a report to the appropriate congressional 
committees on the status of updates provided to the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and other allies of the 
United States on the Russian Federation's flight testing, 
operational capability, and deployment of ground-launched 
ballistic missiles in violation of the INF Treaty. If the 
Russian Federation fails compliance measures by the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense will also 
submit to Congress, a plan outlining the development of 
military capabilities, including counterforce capabilities, 
countervailing strike capabilities, and active defense to 
defend against intermediate-range ground-launched cruise 
missile attacks.
    The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Modification of notification and assessment of proposal to modify or 
        introduce new aircraft or sensors for flight by the Russian 
        Federation under the open skies treaty (sec. 1244)

    The House bill contained two provisions (sec. 1244 and 
1265) that would amend section 1242 (b)(1) of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-
291; 128 Stat. 3564) to extend reporting requirements from 30 
days to 90 days and extend oversight to include the commander 
of each relevant combatant command as well as the Joint Chiefs 
of Staff. Additionally, the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Secretary of State this provision limits 
obligated funds to less than 50 percent until a report on any 
meetings of the Open Skies Consultative Commission during the 
prior year is delivered to Congress to the appropriate 
committees.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1672) that would modify Section 1242(b) of the Carl Levin and 
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) by adding a 
requirement to include an assessment by the commander of each 
combatant command potentially affected by a proposal of the 
Russian Federation to modify or introduce a new aircraft or 
sensor for flight under the Open Skies Treaty, including an 
assessment of the potential effects of the proposal on 
operations and any potential vulnerabilities. The provision 
would also require that not later than 30 days after the date 
of any meeting of the Open Skies Consultative Commission, the 
Secretary of Defense submit to the defense committees of 
Congress a report on such meeting, including a description of 
any agreements entered into during such meeting, and whether 
any such agreement will result in a modification to the 
aircraft or sensors that will be subject to the Open Skies 
Treaty.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
three similar provisions and limit the availability of funds 
made available for fiscal year 2016 for arms control 
implementation (PE 0305145F) to not more than 75 percent until 
the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of 
State, submits a report to Congress describing any meetings of 
the Open Skies Consultative Commission during the prior year, a 
description of any agreements entered into during such 
meetings, and a description of future year proposals for 
modification to aircraft sensors that will be subject to the 
Open Skies Treaty.

Prohibition on availability of funds relating to sovereignty of the 
        Russian Federation over Crimea (sec. 1245)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1247) that would 
prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated or made available 
by this Act through fiscal year 2016 for the Department of 
Defense to implement any action or policy that recognizes the 
de facto sovereignty of Russia over Crimea, or any country 
whose central government has taken steps to recognize or 
support Russia's illegal occupation of Crimea. The provision 
included a waiver if the Secretary of Defense certifies and 
reports that doing so would be in the national security 
interest of the United States.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with a technical and clarifying 
amendment.

Limitation on military contact and cooperation between the United 
        States and the Russian Federation (sec. 1246)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1248) that would 
prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made 
available for fiscal year 2016 to be used for bilateral 
military-to-military contact or cooperation between the United 
States and the Russian Federation without certain 
certifications by the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
with the Secretary of State, or unless certain waiver 
conditions are met.
    The Senate bill did not contain a similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with a technical and clarifying 
amendment.

Limitation on funds for implementation on the New START Treaty (sec. 
        1247)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1249) that would 
limit all authorized funds that would be used for 
implementation of the New START Treaty until the President 
certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that the 
armed forces of the Russian Federation are no longer illegally 
occupying Ukrainian territory; the Russian Federation is 
respecting the sovereignty of all Ukrainian territory; the 
Russian Federation is no longer taking actions that are 
inconsistent with the INF Treaty; the Russian Federation is in 
compliance with the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty 
and has lifted its suspension of Russian observance of its 
treaty obligations; and there have been no inconsistencies by 
the Russian Federation with the New START Treaty requirements.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that changes the 
limitation to a reporting requirement on the reasons continued 
implementation of the New START treaty is in the national 
security interests of the United States, for any year in which 
the New START Treaty is in effect and the following conditions 
apply (and steps taken to remedy the conditions), the Russian 
Federation (i) continues to occupy Ukraine territory, (ii) 
disrespects the sovereignty of Ukraine territory, (iii) is not 
in full compliance with the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty, 
(iv) is not in compliance with the CFE Treaty and has not 
lifted its suspension of observing the Treaty, and (v) is not 
reducing its deployed strategic delivery vehicles, which are 
under the central limits of the New START Treaty. We are 
concerned about the impact of Russia increasing its number of 
deployed strategic delivery vehicles, but notes that this 
increase is occurring within the legally-binding New START 
Treaty caps.

Additional matters in annual report on military and security 
        developments involving the Russian Federation (sec. 1248)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1255) that 
would add a reporting requirement to section 1245 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public 
Law 113-291) requiring an assessment of the force structure and 
capabilities of Russian military forces stationed in the Arctic 
region, Kaliningrad, and Crimea, as well as an assessment of 
the Russian military strategy in the Arctic region.
    The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would create an 
additional element to require a description of the testing, 
production, deployment, and sale or transfer of the Club-K 
cruise missile system by the Russian Federation.

Report on alternative capabilities to procure and sustain nonstandard 
        rotary wing aircraft historically procured through 
        Rosoboronexport (sec. 1249)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1256) that 
would require an independent assessment on the feasibility and 
advisability of using alternative industrial base capabilities 
to procure and sustain nonstandard rotary wing aircraft 
historically acquired through the Russian state corporation 
Rosoboronexport as well as an analysis of alterations that may 
be required for waivers of foreign military sales requirements 
and procedures for approval of airworthiness certificates 
associated with such alternative capabilities.
    The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
    The House recedes with technical and clarifying amendments.
    We direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics, not later than 180 days after date 
of the enactment of this Act and in consultation with the 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to provide an interim 
brief to the Committees on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate on the initial findings, 
conclusions, and recommendations of the independent assessment 
required by this section.

Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (sec. 1250)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1532) that would 
authorize $200.0 million for the Secretary of Defense, in 
concurrence with the Secretary of State, to provide assistance 
and sustainment to the military and national security forces of 
Ukraine. This assistance would include the explicit authority 
to provide lethal weapons of a defensive nature to the security 
forces of Ukraine.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1251) that would authorize $300.0 million for the Secretary of 
Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, to 
provide security assistance and intelligence support to 
military and other security forces of Ukraine.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
$50.0 million of the funds authorized to be available only for 
lethal assistance and counterartillery radars unless the 
Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of 
State, certifies that use of such funds for lethal assistance 
is not in the U.S. national security interest. If the 
certification is made, such funds could be used for assistance 
or support to Partnership for Peace (PfP) nations, or for 
exercises and training for the security forces of PfP nations 
or the Government of Ukraine to assist in preserving their 
sovereignty and territorial integrity against Russian 
aggression.
    We emphasize the importance of providing support to the 
Government of Ukraine in defending itself against actions by 
Russia and Russian-backed separatists that continue to violate 
ceasefire agreements. We note the success of current training 
of Ukrainian security forces by U.S. forces and encourage 
expansion of such training efforts as provided for in this 
section. We further note the growing threat to the sovereignty 
and territorial integrity of other nations in the region and 
stress the importance of assisting such nations in developing 
the capability to defend against Russian aggression.

Training for Eastern European national military forces in the course of 
        multilateral exercises (sec. 1251)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1252) that 
would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence 
of the Secretary of State, to provide multilateral or regional 
training, and pay the incremental expenses of participating in 
such training, for the national military forces of countries in 
Eastern Europe that are a signatory to the Partnership for 
Peace Framework Documents but not a member of the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or that became a NATO 
member after January 1, 1999.
    The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical and clarifying amendment 
that further refines the types of training authorized under 
this section to training provided in the course of the conduct 
of a multilateral exercise in which the U.S. Armed Forces are a 
participant and that is comparable to or complimentary of 
training the U.S. Armed Forces receive in the course of such 
multilateral exercises. Training authorized under this section 
would be for certain specified purposes, including enhancing 
the interoperability of the trained forces to be able to 
participate in NATO or coalition operations, or to increase the 
capacity of those forces to respond to external threats or 
hybrid warfare.

        Subtitle F--Matters Relating to the Asia-Pacific Region


Strategy to promote United States interests in the Indo-Asia-Pacific 
        region (sec. 1261)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1253) that would 
require the President to develop an overall strategy to promote 
U.S. interests in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region and to provide 
policy directives and priority goals to relevant U.S. 
Government departments and agencies.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1265) that would require the report to be completed within 120 
days of enactment.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would delay the 
date the strategy is due to March 1, 2017.
    The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1262) that 
would express the sense of the Congress to reaffirm the 
importance of the rebalance to the Asia-Pacific region. In 
order to maintain the credibility of the U.S. policy to 
rebalance towards the Indo-Asia-Pacific theater, we believe it 
is vital that the United States continue to shift forces to the 
region to strengthen the ability of the United States Armed 
Forces to project power to shape the choices of regional 
states. Any reduction or failure to adequately resource U.S. 
force structure in the U.S. Pacific Command would diminish the 
rebalance policy.
    The House bill included a number of provisions that would 
express the sense of the Congress regarding the various 
contributions of different allies and partner nations (sec. 
1251, sec. 1252, sec. 1254, sec. 1255, and sec. 1272).
    We note the 70th Anniversary of the end of Allied military 
engagement in the Pacific theater, marking the end of the 
Second World War and joins with a grateful nation in expressing 
respect and appreciation to the members of the U.S. Armed 
Forces who served in the Pacific theater during the Second 
World War.
    Further, we believe any long-term strategy for the Indo-
Asia-Pacific region must include continued engagement with 
allies and partners in the region.
    The United States values its alliance with the Government 
of Japan as a cornerstone of peace and security in the region. 
The United States welcomes Japan's decision to contribute more 
proactively to regional and global peace and security. 
Furthermore, we note that the Senkaku Islands are under the 
administrative control of Japan. We oppose any unilateral 
actions by a third party that would seek to undermine such 
administration, and remain committed under the Treaty of Mutual 
Cooperation and Security to respond to any armed attack in the 
territories under the administration of Japan. Finally, we 
acknowledge the significant and unprecedented financial 
contributions the Government of Japan has made to facilitate 
U.S. military access in both Japan and Guam.
    We also note that the alliance between the United States 
and the Republic of Korea has served as an anchor for 
stability, security, and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula, in 
the Asia-Pacific region, and around the world. The United 
States and the Republic of Korea should continue further 
cooperation by strengthening the combined defense posture on 
the Korean Peninsula and enhancing mutual security based on the 
Republic of Korea-United States Mutual Defense Treaty. We 
support the vision of a Korean Peninsula free of nuclear 
weapons, free from the fear of war, and peacefully reunited on 
the basis of democratic and free market principles. Finally, we 
acknowledge the significant financial contributions the 
Republic of Korea has made to facilitate U.S. military access 
on the Korean Peninsula.
    We note that United States has an upgraded, strategic-plus 
relationship with India based on regional cooperation, space 
science cooperation, and defense cooperation. We believe that 
the defense relationship between the United States and the 
Republic of India is strengthened by the common commitment of 
both countries to liberal democracy should continue to expand. 
Further, we welcome the role of the Republic of India in 
providing security and stability in the Indo-Pacific region and 
beyond, and we support the implementation of the United States-
India Defense Framework Agreement and the India Defense Trade 
and Technology Initiative (DTTI).

Requirement to submit Department of Defense policy regarding foreign 
        disclosure or technology release of Aegis Ashore capability to 
        Japan (sec. 1262)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1256) that would 
express the sense of Congress that a decision by the Government 
of Japan to purchase Aegis Ashore for its self-defense could 
create a significant opportunity for promoting interoperability 
and integration of air- and missile defense capability with 
close allies, could provide for force multiplication benefits, 
and could potentially alleviate force posture requirements on 
multi-mission assets. This provision would also require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees, a copy of the Department of Defense policy 
regarding foreign disclosure or technology release of Aegis 
Ashore capability to allies, including Japan, that possess sea-
based Aegis weapons system-equipped naval vessels.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
references to other allies and would edit the title of the 
provision to directly reference the Government of Japan.

South China Sea Initiative (sec. 1263)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1261) that 
would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence 
of the Secretary of State, to provide assistance and training 
for the purposes of increasing maritime security and the 
maritime domain awareness of foreign countries in the South 
China Sea. The provision would authorize $50.0 million from 
amounts authorized to be appropriated for the Department of 
Defense Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) account 
for fiscal year 2016, with increases in funding levels in 
subsequent fiscal years, to provide assistance to the recipient 
countries, which include Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, 
Thailand, and Vietnam. The provision would require that the 
Secretary of Defense provide prior notification to the 
congressional defense committees not later than 15 days before 
exercising this authority.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
$50.0 million from amounts authorized to be appropriated for 
the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2016 only and, if the 
Secretary uses these funds to provide assistance and training 
under this authority during the first half-year of fiscal year 
2016, the Secretary must submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees on the account or accounts that were used to 
provide the funds. The authority to provide assistance and 
training cannot be exercised after September 30, 2020. We 
expect the Department to request additional funding for the 
South China Sea Initiative in fiscal years 2017 through 2020 as 
part of the annual budget request.

                       Subtitle G--Other Matters


Two-year extension and modification of authorization for non-
        conventional assisted recovery capabilities (sec. 1271)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1261) that would 
extend, for 1 year, the authority of the Department of Defense 
to continue to develop, manage, and execute a Non-Conventional 
Assisted Recovery (NAR) personnel recovery program for isolated 
Department of Defense (DOD), U.S. Government, and other 
designated personnel supporting U.S. national interests 
worldwide. This section would allow the Secretary of Defense to 
use up to $25.0 million in funds authorized to be appropriated 
for the Department of Defense for operation and maintenance for 
such recovery programs through fiscal year 2017.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1282) that would extend the authority of the Department of 
Defense to establish, develop, and maintain NAR capabilities 
for 2 additional years. The provision would also designate the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-
Intensity Conflict (ASD SOLIC) as the primary civilian within 
DOD with programmatic and policy oversight responsibilities for 
such activities.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
the Secretary of Defense to use up to $25.0 million in funds 
authorized for operation and maintenance for NAR.
    We note that the agreement would designate the ASD SOLIC as 
the primary civilian within DOD with programmatic and policy 
oversight responsibilities for such activities. Given the 
sensitive nature of NAR activities, including the authorized 
use of irregular forces, groups, and individuals, the committee 
believes that ASD SOLIC is the most appropriate civilian office 
within the Department to exercise oversight of such activities 
and associated policies.

Amendment to the annual report under Arms Control and Disarmament Act 
        (sec. 1272)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1262) that would 
amend subsection (e) of section 403 of the Arms Control and 
Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C. 2593a) and would require the 
Director of National Intelligence to submit to the appropriate 
congressional committees a report that details each instance of 
inconsistent behavior by a state party of an arms control 
treaty or related agreement to which the United States is a 
party.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

involving weapons of mass destruction from section 1204 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public 
Law 113-66) through September 30, 2020.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1203) that would extend the authority for the Secretary of 
Defense to provide Weapons of Mass Destruction incident 
response training and basic equipment to foreign first 
responders until September 30, 2018.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
authority through September 30, 2019.

Modification of authority for support of special operations to combat 
        terrorism (sec. 1274)

    The House bill contained a provision that would amend the 
authority for support of special operations to combat terrorism 
contained in section 1208 of the Ronald W. Reagan National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Public Law 108-
375), as amended, by increasing the annual cap on the authority 
from $75.0 million to $100.0 million.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would increase 
the annual cap on the authority from $75.0 million to $85.0 
million and would require the Secretary of Defense to notify 
the congressional defense committees not later than 15-days 
prior to initiating the authority.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense to notify the 
congressional defense committees of funding changes to Section 
1208 programs when such a proposed increase exceeds 20 percent 
of the current approved total for that particular program or 
$500,000, whichever amount is less.

Limitation on availability of funds to implement the Arms Trade Treaty 
        (sec. 1275)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1270) that would 
limit the Department of Defense's ability to implement the Arms 
Trade Treaty while also permitting the Department to assist 
foreign governments in bringing their laws and regulations to a 
level equal to that of the United States.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.
    We note that a substantively identical provision was 
included in the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2015 (Public 
Law 113-291).

Report on the security relationship between the United States and the 
        Republic of Cyprus (sec. 1276)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1271) that would 
require, not later than 90 days after the enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State to jointly 
submit an assessment of the military capability of Cyprus to 
defend against threats to its national security.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1274), requiring an assessment of the U.S.-Cyprus bilateral

    The House recedes.

Sense of Congress on European defense and the North Atlantic Treaty 
        Organization (sec. 1277)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1280) that would 
express the sense of the Congress that the U.S. should continue 
to work with aspirant countries for entry into the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and work with NATO members 
to identify current and future security threats as well as 
ensuring sufficient funding is obligated to meet NATO 
responsibilities.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1254) that 
would express the sense of Congress urging the United States to 
encourage NATO allies to meet defense budget commitments made 
at the Wales Summit in September 2014 and to continue to 
coordinate defense investments to improve deterrence against 
Russian aggression and terrorist organizations as well as more 
appropriately balancing defense spending across the alliance.
    The House recedes with an amendment that expresses the 
sense of Congress that the United States should continue NATO's 
open-door policy for nations that share Alliance values, are 
willing to assume the responsibilities and obligations of 
membership, and are in a position to contribute to the security 
of the North Atlantic area, as well as encouraging continued 
work with aspirant countries to prepare for entry into NATO.

Briefing on the sale of certain fighter aircraft to Qatar (sec. 1278)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1273) that 
would express the sense of the Senate that the United States 
should promptly consider the sale of fighter aircraft to the 
Government of Qatar and requires a report describing the risks 
and benefits as they relate to such a sale.
    The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would require a 
briefing to certain congressional committees on the risks and 
benefits of the sale of fighter aircraft to Qatar.

United States-Israel anti-tunnel cooperation (sec. 1279)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1267) that would 
establish a cooperative research and development program with 
Israel to develop anti-tunneling defense capabilities to 
detect, map, and neutralize underground tunnels.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1272).
    The House recedes with an amendment that requires the 
Secretary of Defense to designate an appropriate research and 
development entity of a military department as the lead agency 
of the Department of Defense to carry out this section, 
establishes an annual limit on the amount that can be provided, 
and requires matching contributions from the Government of 
Israel.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense, not later than 1 year 
after the date of the enactment of this Act, to submit to 
congressional defense committees a report that includes: (1) 
instances of tunnels being used to attack installations of the 
United States or allies of the United States; (2) trends or 
developments in tunnel attacks throughout the world; (3) key 
technologies employed by potential adversaries and challenges 
faced when using tunnels; (4) the capabilities of the 
Department of Defense for defending fixed or forward locations 
from tunnel attacks; (5) the plans, including with respect to 
funding, of the Secretary for countering threats posed by 
tunnels.

NATO Special Operations Headquarters (sec. 1280)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1263) that would 
make permanent the authority for the North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization Special Operations Headquarters, as first 
authorized in section 1244(a) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84).
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

section 1244(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84; 123 Stat. 2541), as most 
recently amended by section 1272(a) of the National Defense

would express the sense of the Senate on Taiwan's asymmetric 
military capabilities and bilateral training activities.
    The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1264) that 
would encourage the Secretary of Defense to carry out a program 
of exchanges of senior military officers and senior officials 
between the United States and Taiwan to improve military to 
military relations between the United States and Taiwan.
    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1257) that would

    The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 1263) 
that would express the sense of the Senate on Taiwan's 
asymmetric military capabilities and bilateral training 
activities.
    We believe that the United States, in accordance with the 
Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8), should continue to make 
available to Taiwan such defense articles and services as may 
be necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-
defense. The United States should continue to support the 
efforts of Taiwan to integrate innovative and asymmetric 
capabilities to balance the growing military capabilities of 
the People's Republic of China, including fast-attack craft, 
coastal-defense cruise missiles, rapid-runway repair systems, 
offensive mines, and submarines optimized for defense of the 
Taiwan straits. With regards to training, we believe the 
military forces of Taiwan should be permitted to participate in 
bilateral training activities hosted by the United States that 
increase credible deterrent capabilities of Taiwan, 
particularly those that emphasize the defense of Taiwan Island 
from missile attack, maritime blockade, and amphibious invasion 
by the People's Republic of China. Toward this end, we believe 
that Taiwan should be encouraged to participate in exercises 
that include realistic air-to-air combat training, including 
the exercise conducted at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, and 
Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, commonly referred to as ``Red 
Flag.''
    We recommend that the Secretary of Defense carry out a 
program of exchanges of military officers between the United 
States and Taiwan designed to improve military-to-military 
relations between the United States and Taiwan. The officer 
exchanges should include field-grade officers, particularly 
officers with combat and specialized experience, and general 
officers, who can provide support to Taiwan to develop and 
improve its joint warfighting capabilities.
    We also note that section 1259A of the Fiscal Year 2015 
National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 113-291) includes the 
recommendation on inviting Taiwan to the humanitarian 
assistance and disaster relief portions of multilateral 
exercises.

        States and Taiwan

those two countries.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

implementation efforts of the U.S. Strategy to Prevent and 
Respond to Gender-Based Violence Globally.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We believe that gender-based violence undermines the 
health, economic stability, and security of nations which, in 
turn, has an impact on United States interests. The committee 
notes that the United States Global Strategy on Gender-based 
Violence Prevention and Response requires the participation of 
the Department of Defense (DOD) in efforts to implement the 
strategy. We encourage the continued efforts of the DOD in 
support of the United States Global Strategy on Gender-based 
Violence Prevention and Response.
    Additionally, we direct the Secretary of Defense, not later 
than 180 days after the enactment of this Act, to provide to 
the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
Representatives, a report on efforts to prevent and respond to 
gender-based violence globally in support of the United States' 
strategy, including a description of the efforts of DOD in the 
Interagency Working Group to implement the international 
gender-based violence prevention and response strategy and an 
assessment of the human and financial resources necessary to 
fulfill the purpose and duties of such strategy.

well as the citizens and nationals of other states from Yemen.

Report on violence and cartel activity in Mexico

    We note that ongoing violence associated with transnational 
organized crime poses a threat to the security interests of 
Mexico and the United States. We recognize the shared 
commitment of the United States and Mexico to combat this 
threat and expect the Secretary of Defense to update 
periodically the Committees Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate on the Department's security 
cooperation activities with the Government of Mexico.

        financiers from operating in its country

practicable, the efforts of the Government of Afghanistan to 
promote the security of Afghan women and girls. This section

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1542) that would 
authorize various transfer authorities, reporting requirements, 
and other associated activities for the Joint Improvised 
Explosive Device (IED) Defeat Fund during fiscal year 2016, and

the plan for consolidation and alignment of rapid acquisition 
organizations.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1532) that would authorize the Joint IED Defeat Fund and 
provide the Secretary of Defense with the authority to 
investigate, develop and provide equipment, supplies, services, 
training, facilities, personnel, and funds to assist in the 
defeat of improvised explosive devices for operations in 
Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and other operations or military 
missions designated by the Secretary.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit the 
transition of the Joint IED Defeat Organization to a combat 
support agency, require the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
plan by January 31, 2016 for the activities, functions, and 
resources of Joint IED Defeat Organization to be fully and 
completely transitioned to an office under the authority, 
direction, and control of an executive agent by September 30, 
2016. Additionally, if the full transition is not complete by 
September 30, 2016 none of the funds in the Joint IED Defeat 
Fund would be available to the Department of Defense after 
September 30, 2016.
    We urge the Secretary of Defense to provide information to 
the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
Representatives and Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for 
any activities conducted pursuant to subsection (b).
    We understand that as of March 11, 2015, the Deputy 
Secretary of Defense formally initiated the transition of the 
Joint IED Defeat Organization to a new combat support agency 
named the Joint Improvised-Threat Agency (JIDA) with the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics 
as the component lead. We have concerns regarding this current 
transition and believe a new strategy and implementation plan 
is required that would provide for a more streamlined approach 
to integrating the roles, missions, and activities of the JIDA 
into an existing military department, rather than establishing 
a new combat support agency within the Office of the Secretary 
of Defense. This would create reduced overhead management costs 
while maintaining institutional core knowledge for counter 
defeat and detection capabilities for IEDs and other improvised 
threats. The intent of this required new transition so not to 
disrupt ongoing, near-term counter-IED activities in support of 
overseas contingency operations.

Availability of improvised explosive device defeat funds for training 
        of foreign security forces to defeat improvised explosive 
        devices (sec. 1533)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1533) that 
would authorize up to $30.0 million of the amounts authorized 
to be appropriated for fiscal year 2016 for the Joint 
Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund to provide training for 
foreign security forces to increase effectiveness in defeating 
improvised explosive devices. The provision would require 
training be provided only pursuant to other provisions of law.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
conform the provision to a related provision concerning the 
Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization included 
elsewhere in this Act.

Comptroller General report on use of certain funds provided for 
        Operation and Maintenance (sec. 1534)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1543) that would 
require the Comptroller General to submit a report specifying 
how funds for overseas contingency operations were ultimately 
used.
    The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
report to funds authorized in section 4303.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

initiatives to reassure allies and partners and to deter 
aggression and intimidation by Russian, in order to enhance 
security and stability in the region.

    The House recedes.
    We urge the Department of Defense to enhance efforts in 
Europe to reassure allies and partners and deter further 
aggression and intimidation by the Russian Government to 
enhance security and stability in the region through: (1) 
increased U.S. military presence, exercises, training, 
prepositioning of equipment and infrastructure; (2) increased 
emphasis on countering unconventional warfare methods in areas 
such as cyber warfare, information operations, and intelligence 
operations; and (3) increased security assistance to allies and 
partners in Europe.

Secretary on space control activities.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment clarifying the roles 
and responsibilities of the cross-functional team.
    We direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to 
the congressional defense committees within 180 days on the 
roles and responsibilities for space control activities within 
the Department of Defense; efforts underway to streamline 
decision making and limit bureaucracy for space control within 
the Department; and a description of how the Space Security and

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383) by 
limiting the delegation of waiver authority to a level no lower 
than the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add the 
secretaries of the military departments to the waiver authority 
delegation limitation.

Rocket propulsion system development program (sec. 1606)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1603) that would 
amend section 1604 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. `Buck' 
McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
(Public Law 113-291) by inserting a section on streamlined 
acquisition; a clarification that, of the funds authorized to 
be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for 
fiscal year 2016 for the rocket propulsion system required by 
section 1604 of Public Law 113-291, the Secretary of Defense 
would be permitted to obligate or expend such funds only for 
the development of such rocket propulsion system, and the 
necessary interfaces to the launch vehicle, to replace non-
allied space launch engines by 2019 as required by such 
section; and a requirement for the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing on the streamlined acquisition approach, 
requirements, and acquisition strategy.
    The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 1606) 
that would amend section 1604 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
`Buck' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) to include a plan for the 
development and fielding of a full-up engine.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
availability of funds only for the development of a rocket 
propulsion system and the necessary interfaces to, or 
integration of, the launch vehicle, to replace non-allied space 
launch engines by 2019 as required by section 1604 of the Carl 
Levin and Howard P. `Buck' McKeon National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291).
    The amendment would specify that funds may be used for the 
integration of a rocket propulsion system on a new or existing 
launch vehicle. Funds may not be used to develop or procure a 
new launch vehicle or infrastructure.
    The agreement would also direct the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide the congressional defense committees a 
briefing no later than 90 days from the date of enactment on a 
plan for the development and fielding of a full-up rocket 
propulsion system.

Exception to the prohibition on contracting with Russian suppliers of 
        rocket engines for the evolved expendable launch vehicle 
        program (sec. 1607)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1604) that would 
amend section 1608 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
(Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3626; 10 U.S.C. 2271 note).
    The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 1603) 
that would amend section 1608 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3626; 10 U.S.C. 2271 
note).
    The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
section 1608 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public 
Law 113-291) by modifying the exception to the prohibition. The 
amendment would except contracts awarded for the procurement of 
property or services for space launch activities that includes 
the use of not more than a total of five rocket engines 
designed or manufactured in the Russian Federation that prior 
to February 1, 2014, were either fully paid for by the 
contractor or covered by a legally binding commitment of the 
contractor to fully pay for such rocket engines. The amendment 
would also add an additional exception which would allow 
contracts, not covered under the other exceptions, that are 
awarded for the procurement of property or services for space 
launch activities that include the use of not more than a total 
of four additional rocket engines designed or manufactured in 
the Russian Federation. Therefore, the agreement allows for a 
total of nine Russian rocket engines, aside from the waiver 
authority and the existing contract number FA8811-13-C-0003 
awarded on December 18, 2013. Of those nine engines, not more 
than four additional rocket engines can be procured from the 
Russian Federation as five of the nine allowed under the 
(c)(1)(B) exception would have already been fully paid for as 
of February 1, 2014.
    The existing exception on the placement of orders or the 
exercise of options under the contract number FA8811-13-C-0003 
and awarded on December 18, 2013 and the existing waiver remain 
unchanged and unaffected.
    We believe that the continued reliance on Russian rocket 
engines represents a significant risk to our national security 
and that their use should be minimized to the greatest extent 
practicable while maintaining assured access to space and 
competition.
    Consistent with the limitations established by this 
provision, we direct the Secretary of Defense, in coordination 
with the Director of National Intelligence, to evaluate options 
for an executable backup plan for assured access to space that 
maintains competition as feasible. We expect the report to 
consider options in the event of a national emergency including 
using a Delta launch vehicle, relying on the National 
Aeronautics and Space Administration's launch capability, 
acquiring or leveraging space launch services provided by 
international partners consistent with the National Space 
Transportation Policy, or any other options that the Secretary 
deems feasible. The report shall include identification of 
requirements, feasibility, costs, infrastructure, security, 
timelines, required authorities and risks and benefits 
associated with each option considered. The Secretary shall 
submit the results in the form of a briefing to the appropriate 
congressional committees no later than April 15, 2016.

Acquisition strategy for evolved expendable launch vehicle program 
        (sec. 1608)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1606) that would 
express the sense of Congress concerning the need for an 
updated, phased acquisition strategy and contracting plan for 
the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program and that 
the acquisition strategy and contracting plan should eliminate 
the currently structured EELV launch capability (ELC) 
arrangement after the current contractual obligations, among 
other statements. The provision would require the Secretary of 
the Air Force to discontinue the current ELC arrangement by the 
latter of either the date on which the Secretary determines 
that the obligations of the contracts relating to such 
arrangement have been met, or by December 31, 2020. The 
provision would also require the Secretary to apply consistent 
and appropriate standards to certified EELV providers with 
respect to certified cost and pricing data, and audits, in 
accordance with section 2306a of title 10, United States Code; 
would require the Secretary to develop and carry out a 10-year 
acquisition strategy for the EELV program, in accordance with 
section 2273 of title 10, United States Code, and other 
elements of the provision; would require any contract for 
launch services to account for the value of the ELC arrangement 
per contract line item numbers in the bid price of the offeror 
as appropriate per launch; and would require a report on the 
acquisition strategy.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1604) that 
would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from awarding a 
contract, renewing a contract, or maintaining a separate 
contract line item for the procurement of property or services 
for space launch capabilities under the Evolved Expendable 
Launch Vehicle (EELV) program. The provision would allow for 
the Secretary to waive the requirement if the Secretary 
determines that: (1) awarding or renewing, or maintaining a 
separate contract line item for launch capabilities is 
necessary for the national security interests of the United 
States and the contract or contract line item does not support 
space launch activities using rocket engines designed or 
manufactured in the Russian Federation; and (2) failing to 
award or renew such a contract or maintain such a contract line 
item would have significant consequences to national security 
and result in the significant loss of life or property or 
economic harm. The provision would not apply to the placement 
of orders or the exercise of options under the contract 
numbered FA8811-13-C-003 and awarded on December 18, 2013. That 
exception would expire on September 30, 2019.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
sense of Congress language; revise the date for discontinuing 
the current ELC arrangement to not later than December 31, 2019 
for existing contracts using rocket engines designed or 
manufactured in the Russian Federation and not later than 
December 31, 2020 for existing contracts using domestic rocket 
engines; and clarify language concerning the acquisition 
strategy required.

Allocation of funding for evolved expendable launch vehicle program 
        (sec. 1609)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1605) that 
would realign the cost share of the Evolved Expendable Launch 
Vehicle (EELV) Launch Capabilities (ELC) between the Air Force 
and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The provision 
would require, for fiscal years 2017, 2018, or 2019, that the 
Air Force request for ELC funding bear the same ratio to the 
total number of Air Force cores to be procured under the 
Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Launch Services (ELS).
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
Director of the Office of Management and Budget to submit a 
certification with the budgets for fiscal years 2017, 2018, and 
2019 that the cost share between the Air Force and the National 
Reconnaissance Office for the evolved expendable launch vehicle 
launch capability program equitably reflects the appropriate 
allocation of funding for the Air Force and the National 
Reconnaissance Office, respectively, based on the launch 
schedule and national mission forecast. The amendment would 
also require sufficient rationale to justify such cost share.

Procurement of wideband satellite communications (sec. 1610)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1607) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to designate a senior 
Department of Defense official to procure wideband satellite 
communications, both military and commercial, to meet the 
requirements of the Department. Additionally, this section 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
congressional defense committees, a plan to meet the 
requirements of the Department for satellite communications, 
including identification of roles and responsibilities, no 
later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1609) that would require the Department of Defense Executive 
Agent for Space to submit by January 31, 2016 a plan to the 
congressional defense committees for consolidating the 
acquisition of commercial satellite communications (COMSATCOM) 
services from across the Department of Defense into a program 
office in the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center. The 
plan would require consolidation to take place within a 3-year 
period. It would also require an assessment of the current 
management and overhead costs, a projection of the consolidated 
management and overhead costs, and an estimate of the cost of 
consolidation. The provision would require the Director of Cost 
Assessment and Program Evaluation to review and validate each 
of the estimates.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a plan for the consolidation of 
the acquisition of wideband satellite communications. The 
amendment would require the Secretary to identify and designate 
a single acquisition agent and implementation of the 
consolidation plan. The amendment would also allow the 
Secretary to forgo implementation if the Secretary determines 
that the implementation will require significant additional 
funding or is not in the interests of national security.

Analysis of alternatives for wide-band communications (sec. 1611)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1611) that 
would require an analysis of alternatives for the replacement 
of the Wideband Global Satellite System with a report due to 
the congressional defense committees by March 31, 2017. The 
analysis required shall take into account future bandwidth of 
space, air, and ground communications systems.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Modification of pilot program for acquisition of commercial satellite 
        communication services (sec. 1612)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1609) that would 
modify an existing pilot program for acquisition of commercial 
satellite communications services by removing the requirement 
to use the working capital fund and authorize multiple methods 
or pathfinder efforts to be used within the pilot program. 
Additionally, the Secretary would have to establish metrics to 
track the progress of meeting the objectives of the program and 
provide annual briefings on the progress of the pilot program, 
concurrent with the submission of the budget request in each 
year from fiscal year 2017 through fiscal year 2020.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1612) that would direct the Department of Defense to seek to 
achieve order-of-magnitude improvements in communications 
capability as a goal of pilot programs for commercial satellite 
communications.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to conduct the pilot program, remove the 
requirement to use the working capital fund for the pilot 
program and authorize multiple methods or pathfinder efforts to 
be used within the pilot program. The amendment would also 
direct the Department to seek to achieve order-of-magnitude 
improvements in communications capability as a goal of pilot 
programs for commercial satellite communications. We believe 
that Department of Defense should use this program to explore 
new and innovative ways to acquire commercial satellite 
communications for the benefit of the warfighter and the 
taxpayers. This should include new activities to meet the goals 
established in the pilot program while also leveraging the 
Department's pathfinder efforts.

Integrated policy to deter adversaries in space (sec. 1613)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1614) that would 
state a sense of Congress regarding space defense, as outlined 
in the National Space Policy of 2010.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1601) that would require the President to establish an 
interagency process to develop a policy to deter adversaries in 
space. This integrated deterrence policy would be developed 
with the objectives of (1) reducing risks to the United States 
and its allies in space; and (2) protecting and preserving the 
rights, access, capabilities, use, and freedom of action of the 
United States in space and the right of the United States to 
respond to an attack in space and, if necessary, deny 
adversaries the use of space capabilities hostile to the 
national interests of the United States. The provision would 
require the President to provide a report setting forth the 
deterrence policy and the answers to Enclosure 1, regarding 
offensive space control policy, of the classified annex to this 
Act, to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives 
within 180 days of the date of enactment. If the report 
required and the answers to Enclosure 1 are not provided within 
180 days of the date of enactment, the provision would 
prohibit, until provided, the obligation or expenditure of 
$10.0 million of the amounts authorized to be appropriated or 
otherwise made available to the Department of Defense for 
fiscal year 2016 to provide support services to the Executive 
Office of the President.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Prohibition on reliance on China and Russia for space-based weather 
        data (sec. 1614)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1610) that would 
prohibit reliance on space-based weather data from the 
Government of the People's Republic of China or the Government 
of the Russian Federation, and would require the Secretary of 
Defense to certify that the Department of Defense does not rely 
on, or in the future does not plan to rely on, space-based 
weather data for national security purposes, that is provided 
by the Government of the People's Republic of China, the 
Government of the Russian Federation, or an entity owned or 
controlled by the Government of China or the Government of 
Russia.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

Limitation on availability of funds for weather satellite follow-on 
        system (sec. 1615)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1608) that would 
limit any funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or 
otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 for the weather 
satellite follow-on system until the Secretary of Defense 
provides a briefing to the congressional defense committees on 
a plan to address the requirements of the Department of Defense 
for cloud characterization and theater weather imagery, and 
that such plan will not negatively affect the commanders of the 
combatant commands and will meet the requirements of the 
Department for cloud characterization and theater weather 
imagery.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 
limitation of funds from a full limitation to a limitation on 
half of the funds.
    We are aware and supportive of the efforts to reassess the 
appropriate portions of the analysis of alternatives (AoA) for 
space-based environmental monitoring in consideration of the 
changes that have occurred since the original AoA that was 
completed.

Limitations on availability of funds for the Defense Meteorological 
        Satellite program (sec. 1616)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1607) that 
would prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated 
in fiscal year 2016 and any unobligated funds made available 
for appropriation in fiscal year 2015 for the Defense 
Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) or the launch of 
Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellite #20 (DMSP-
20) until the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff jointly certify to the congressional 
defense committees that: (1) relying on civil and international 
contributions tomeet space-based environmental monitoring 
requirements is insufficient or is a risk to national security and 
launching DMSP-20 will meet those requirements; (2) launching DMSP-20 
is the most affordable solution to meeting requirements validated by 
the Joint Requirements Oversight Council; and (3) nonmaterial solutions 
within the Department of Defense, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration (NOAA), or the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration (NASA) are incapable of providing a solution for cloud 
characterization and theater weather requirements as validated by the 
Joint Requirements Oversight Council.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that reduces the fence 
in fiscal year 2015 to half of any unobligated funds made 
available for appropriation and clarifies the elements of the 
certification.

Streamline commercial space launch activities (sec. 1617)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1613) that 
would direct the Secretary of Transportation, in consultation 
with the Secretary of Defense, the Administrator of the 
National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the commercial 
space sector, and the heads of other executive agencies as 
appropriate to report annually on actions taken to remove 
duplication and minimize inconsistencies across the federal 
government for commercial space launch requirements and 
approval. The report shall be submitted to the congressional 
defense committees, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science 
and Transportation and the House Committee on Science, Space 
and Technology.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.

    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
sense of Congress.

Evaluation of exploitation of space-based infrared system against 
        additional threats (sec. 1620)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1611) that would 
require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics, in cooperation with the Secretary of 
the Navy, the Secretary of the Air Force, and the Director of 
National Intelligence, to conduct an evaluation of the Space-
based Infrared System to detect, track, and target, or develop 
the capability to do the detect, track and target, against the 
full-range of threats to the United States, deployed members of 
the Armed Forces, and the allies of the United States, and 
provide the results of such evaluation to the congressional 
defense committees not later than December 31, 2016.
    The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment replacing the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics 
with the Commander, U.S. Strategic Command and adding the 
Commander, U.S. Northern Command.
    We note that the classified annex accompanying the House 
bill includes further discussion related to this section.

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1628) that would 
require the Director of National Intelligence to provide a 
report to the congressional defense committees and the 
congressional intelligence committees on how the Director 
ensures that the National Intelligence Program budgets for the 
elements of the Intelligence Community that are within the 
Department of Defense are adequate to satisfy the national 
intelligence needs of the Department, as required by section 
102A(p) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 
3024(p)). The report would specifically include a description 
of how the Director incorporates the needs of the Chairman of 
the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the commanders of the unified and 
specified commands into the metrics used to evaluate the 
performance of the elements of the Intelligence Community that 
are within the Department of Defense in conducting intelligence 
activities funded under the National Intelligence Program.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Report on management of certain programs of Defense intelligence 
        elements (sec. 1636)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1629) that would 
require the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence to 
review the Science and Technology Research and Foreign Material 
Exploitation work being conducted by the intelligence elements 
of the Department of Defense and recommend any changes and 
realignment of organizations that should take place.

    The Senate recedes.
    We continue to have concerns about the activities of the 
Intelligence Systems Support Office which was transferred from 
the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence 
to the Air Force in fiscal year 2015 and believes that there 
are significant synergies and potential savings to be gained 
through consolidation of these activities with other 
intelligence elements of the Department of Defense. The 
committees are also concerned about the Foreign Material 
Exploitation activities which were transferred in fiscal year 
2015 as well and believe that these elements could also be 
consolidated with organizations elsewhere in the Defense 
Intelligence Enterprise.

opportunities for weapon systems to collect intelligence, and 
accounting for the support requirements the weapon systems will 
place on the Defense Intelligence Enterprise once fielded.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We believe it is important to ensure that the Department is 
taking into consideration both intelligence assessments of 
potential adversaries, as well as the exquisite intelligence 
required to make new weapon systems work to their fullest 
potential.

                 Subtitle C--Cyberspace-Related Matters


Codification and addition of liability protections relating to 
        reporting on cyber incidents or penetrations of networks and 
        information systems of certain contractors (sec. 1641)

amend section 941 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) as a new section 393 of 
title 10, United States Code, and also amend section 391 of 
such title, to provide for liability protection for covered 
contractors reporting cyber incidents to the Department of 
Defense through these two statutorily required mechanisms.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Authorization of military cyber operations (sec. 1642)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1631) that 
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to develop, prepare, 
coordinate, and (when authorized by the President to do so) to 
conduct a military cyber operation in response to malicious 
cyber activity carried out against the United States or a 
United States person by a foreign power (as defined in section 
101 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 
U.S.C. 1801)).
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
the authority to conduct cyber operations shall be exercised 
when appropriately authorized.
    We note that nothing in this provision shall be construed

defense committees the integrated policy to deter adversaries 
in cyberspace required by section 941 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.
    We note that section 941 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (127 Stat. 837; Public 
Law 113-66), required the President to establish an interagency 
process to provide for the development of an integrated policy 
to deter adversaries in cyberspace. The provision required the 
President, not later than 270 days after the date of enactment, 
which occurred on December 26, 2013, to submit to the 
congressional defense committees a report setting forth that 
integrated policy to deter adversaries in cyberspace. The 
report required has not been provided. We believe that an 
integrated policy to deter adversaries in cyberspace is 
essential to ensuring the national security of the United 
States and countering the cyber threats posed by our 
adversaries. We remain concerned that the failure to establish 
a well-articulated strategy for deterring potential adversaries 
from conducting cyber attacks, emboldens our adversaries and 
increases the likelihood of cyber attacks in the near future.

Authorization for procurement of relocatable Sensitive Compartmented 
        Information Facility (sec. 1644)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1634) that

cyber capabilities to include: (1) the unified platform, (2) a 
persistent cyber training environment, and (3) a cyber 
situational awareness and battle management system.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
the Secretary of Defense shall designate an entity within a 
military department to be responsible for the critical cyber 
capabilities identified in the provision.

Assessment of capabilities of United States Cyber Command to defend the 
        United States from cyber attack (sec. 1646)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1636) that 
would require the Principal Cyber Advisor (PCA) to sponsor an 
independent panel to assess the ability of the National Mission 
Forces of the U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) to reliably prevent 
or block large-scale attacks on the United States by foreign 
powers with capabilities comparable to those of countries like 
China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia in the 2020 and 2025 
timeframes.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
requirement for an independent assessment.

Evaluation of cyber vulnerabilities of major weapon systems of the 
        Department of Defense (sec. 1647)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1635) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to evaluate the cyber 
vulnerabilities of every major Department of Defense weapons 
system by not later than December 31, 2019.

updates to the congressional defense committees on activities 
undertaken in the evaluation of major weapon systems occur as 
part of the quarterly cyber operations briefings required under 
section 484 of title 10, United States Code.

Comprehensive plan and biennial exercises on responding to cyber 
        attacks (sec. 1648)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1637) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct national-
level cyber exercises not less frequently than once every 2 
years for a period of 6 years. In preparing and executing these 
exercises, the Secretary would be required to coordinate with 
the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of National 
Intelligence, the Director of the FBI, and the heads of the 
critical infrastructure sector-specific agencies designated 
under Presidential Policy Directive 21. The Secretary also 
would be required to consult with governors of the States and 
the owners and operators of critical infrastructure. The 
exercises would be based on scenarios in which critical 
infrastructure is attacked through cyberspace and the President 
directs the Secretary to defend the Nation and to provide 
support to civil authorities in responding and recovering from 
the attacks.
    The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 1638) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop a 
comprehensive plan for the United States Cyber Command to 
support civil authorities in responding to cyber attacks by 
foreign powers against the United States or a United States 
person.
    The House bill contained no similar provisions.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would combine both 
Senate provisions.
    In carrying out the requirements of this section concerning 
national-level cyber exercises, we encourage the Department to 
coordinate activities with the Secretary of Homeland Security, 
consistent with section 227 of the Homeland Security Act of 
2002 (6 U.S.C. 149), to the maximum extent practicable. We 
believe such exercises should include opportunities to address 
the full spectrum of cyber defense and mitigation capabilities 
available to the Federal Government, and when appropriate 
should leverage existing National Cyber Exercise programs, such 
as the Department of Homeland Security Biennial Cyber Storm 
Program.

Sense of Congress on reviewing and considering findings and 
        recommendations of Council of Governors on cyber capabilities 
        of the Armed Forces (sec. 1649)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1639) that 
would express that it is the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of Defense should review and consider any findings 
and recommendations of the Council of Governors pertaining to 
cyber mission force requirements and any proposed reductions in 
and synchronization of the cyber capabilities of active or 
reserve components of the Armed Forces.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

comprehensive assessments of all aspects of the nuclear 
deterrence mission and provide such assessments to the 
Secretary and the Chief of Staff. This section would also 
require that, by March 30, 2016, the Secretary shall 
consolidate, to the extent the Secretary determines 
appropriate, under a major command commanded by a single 
general officer, the responsibility, authority, accountability, 
and resources for carrying out the nuclear deterrence mission. 
The major command would be made responsible, to the extent the

requirement that the Chief of Staff of the Air Force be 
responsible for overseeing the safety, security, effectiveness, 
and credibility of the nuclear deterrence mission of the Air 
Force as well as requiring the designation of a Deputy Chief of 
Staff to carry out the duties as listed in section 1651 of the 
House bill. The amendment contains a sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of the Air Force should consolidate, to the extent 
the Secretary determines appropriate, under a major command 
commanded by a single general officer the responsibility, 
authority, accountability, and resources for carrying out all 
aspects of the nuclear deterrence mission of the Air Force and 
that this should be memorialized through a series of enduring 
directives and orders. The amendment further requires the 
Secretary of the Air Force to submit to the congressional 
defense committees a report no later than February 28, 2016 on 
what actions have been taken or are planned to reorganize, 
streamline, and clarify responsibilities, authorities, 
accountability, and resources within the Air Force for the 
nuclear deterrence mission. This report must include what 
guidance, directives, and orders have been or will be issued to 
institutionalize these changes.

         Subtitle E--Missile Defense Programs and Other Matters


Prohibitions on providing certain missile defense information to 
        Russian Federation (sec. 1671)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1661) that would 
prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated for the 
Department of Defense to provide the Russian Federation with 
``hit-to-kill'' technology and telemetry data for missile 
defense interceptors or target vehicles and information 
relating to the velocity at burnout of missile defense 
interceptors or targets of the United States. This provision 
would also provide the President with a single use waiver to 
provide Russia with information regarding ballistic missile 
early warning in the event the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, and the 
Commander of U.S. European Command jointly certify to the 
President and the congressional defense committees that the 
provision of such information is required because of a failure 
of the early warning system of Russia. The provision would 
allow the prohibitions to expire on January 1, 2031.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1659) that would amend Section 1246(c)(2) of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-
66; 127 Stat. 923), as amended by Section 1243(2)(A) of the 
Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 
Stat. 3564) to extend the limitation on providing certain 
sensitive missile defense information to the Russian Federation 
through fiscal year 2017.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that removes the 
President's single use waiver, clarifies that the provision 
does not prohibit the United States from providing early 
warning data to the Russian Federation, and allows the 
provision to expire on January 1, 2017.

Prohibition on integration of missile defense systems of Russian 
        Federation into missile defense systems of United States (sec. 
        1672)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1663) that would 
prohibit the use of any authorized funds by this Act for fiscal 
years 2016 through 2031 for the Department of Defense or for 
the contributions of the United States to the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization (NATO) to integrate a missile defense 
system of the Russian Federation into any missile defense 
system of the United States or NATO.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
the use of funds authorized for fiscal years 2016 and 2017 for

provide that none of the funds authorized to be appropriated 
for programs related to the Patriot lower tier air and missile 
defense capability that depend specifically on the results of 
the analysis of alternatives (AOA) regarding the Patriot lower 
tier air and missile defense capability of theArmy, may be 
obligated or expended until the results of the AOA are submitted to the 
congressional defense committees.
    This section would also provide that the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics could waive 
the application of the limitation in this section if the Under 
Secretary determines that it is necessary to prevent an 
unacceptable risk to mission performance of the Patriot system 
and notifies the congressional defense committees of the 
decision to use such waiver authority.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would reduce the 
limitation to 30 days after the submission of the AOA to the 
congressional defense committees.
    The committees understand that the AOA will be completed by 
August 2015, prior to the beginning of fiscal year 2016. The 
committees do not intend to limit funding for programs or 
technology that could support Patriot modernization regardless 
of the options chosen based on the AOA. The committees believe 
a modernized Patriot capability is vital to a robust air and 
missile defense capability of the Army, and that such 
capability is further required for the protection of deployed 
U.S. Armed Forces and allied forces. The committees are 
committed to the modernization of Patriot and, elsewhere in 
this Act, recommend full funding of the budget request for 
these activities.

Integration and interoperability of air and missile defense 
        capabilities of the United States (sec. 1675)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1666) that would 
require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics and the Vice Chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff to ensure the interoperability and integration 
of certain U.S. air and missile defense systems. Additionally, 
it would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency and 
the Secretary of the Army to conduct at least one intercept or 
flight test per year that demonstrates interoperability and 
integration among the covered air and missile defense 
capabilities, and would provide waiver authority.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Integration and interoperability of allied missile defense capabilities 
        (sec. 1676)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1667) that would 
require the Commander of U.S. European Command, the Commander 
of U.S. Central Command, and the Commander of U.S. Pacific 
Command to submit to the Secretary of Defense and the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff an assessment of the opportunities for 
integration and interoperability of air and missile defense 
capabilities of the United States with those capabilities of 
allies of the United States, including carrying out the 
planning, risk assessments, policy development and concept of 
operations development necessary to assure the integration and 
interoperability of U.S. and allied air and missile defense 
capabilities by December 31, 2017.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar amendment.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would include 
interoperability in the title and that would make it clear that 
such integration and interoperability should be ensured to the 
extent that specific integration arrangements are agreeable to 
the partner nation or among the partner nations involved in 
those arrangements.

Missile defense capability in Europe (sec. 1677)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1668) that would 
ensure the Aegis Ashore site to be deployed in the Republic of 
Poland has anti-air warfare (AAW) capability upon the site 
achieving full operating capability. It would also require that 
the Aegis Ashore site in Romania be retrofitted with AAW 
capability no later than December 31, 2018. It would also 
require the Secretary to evaluate the feasibility, benefit, and 
cost of using the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile or the Standard 
Missile-2 in providing the anti-air warfare capability. 
Additionally, it would require the Secretary of Defense to 
study no less than three sites in the U.S. European Command 
(EUCOM) area of responsibility for the deployment of the 
Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery; ensure 
that the THAAD battery is available for rotational deployment 
to the EUCOM area of responsibility; and to examine sites to 
pre-position such THAAD battery if such pre-position is 
necessary for military requirements.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1653) that would express the sense of the Congress that the 
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the relevant 
combatant command, should ensure that arrangements are in 
place, including support from North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization (NATO) allies, to provide anti-air defense 
capability at all NATO missile defense sites in support of 
phases 2 and 3 of the European Phased Adaptive Approach. Not 
later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional 
defense committees a report describing the plan of the 
Secretary to provide anti-air defense capability at the sites 
and the contributions being made by NATO to support the 
provision of the anti-air defense capability.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would state the 
sense of the Congress that the Secretary of Defense should 
ensure that arrangements are in place, including support from 
other members of NATO and the host nations, to provide air 
defense capabilities at the Aegis Ashore sites in Romania and 
Poland by not later than June 1, 2019. The agreement would 
require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
Secretary of State, to submit a request to NATO to support an 
air defense capability at the Aegis Ashore sites in Romania and 
Poland. The Secretary shall submit a notification to the 
appropriate congressional committees by not later than April 1, 
2016, as to whether NATO has agreed in principle to provide 
such capability. Not later than 180 days after the enactment of 
this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
congressional defense committees a report describing the plan 
and budget profile to provide an air defense capability to the 
Aegis Ashore sites in Romania and Poland and an assessment of 
the air and ballistic missile threat to United States military 
installations in Europe, including the Naval Shore Facility in 
Devesulu, Romania and the planned site in Redzikowo, Poland. We 
also direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure, not later than 
180 days after enactment, that a terminal high altitude area 
defense battery is available for rotational deployment to the 
area of responsibility of the United States European Command 
unless the Secretary notifies the congressional defense 
committees that such a battery is needed in another combatant 
command's area of responsibility. The Secretary of Defense 
shall also implement the direction contained in the classified 
annex of this Act bearing on this matter.

Availability of funds for Iron Dome short-range rocket defense system 
        (sec. 1678)

authorize $165.0 million for procurement and co-production of 
the David's Sling Weapon System and the Arrow 3 Upper Tier 
missile defense system. This provision would further specify 
the terms and conditions that shall be achieved by the Director 
of the Missile Defense Agency and the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics prior to the 
disbursement of the authorized funds.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1655) that would authorize $165.0 million for the Missile 
Defense Agency to provide to the Government of Israel to 
procure the David's Sling Weapon System and the Arrow 3 Upper 
Tier Interceptor program, including for co-production of parts 
and components in the United States by United States industry. 
The funds may be disbursed after certain conditions, which 
include a certification by the Director of the Missile Defense 
Agency and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics that in the case of co-production for 
the David's Sling Weapon System, not less than half of such co-
production is carried out by United States industry.
    The House recedes to the Senate with an amendment that 
would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics to certify that the Government of 
Israel has demonstrated the successful completion of key 
knowledge points; that such funds will be provided on the basis 
of a one-for-one cash match made by Israel or in another 
mutually agreed matching amount; that the United States has 
entered into a bilateral agreement with Israel; that there is 
complete transparency on the requirement of Israel for the 
number of interceptors and batteries to be procured; that 
technical milestones are established for co-production; that 
there is a joint approval process for third party sales; and 
that the level of co-production for the David's Sling Weapon 
System is equal to or greater than 50 percent for U.S. 
industry.The Under Secretary may waive the certification if the 
funds are provided to Israel solely for funding the procurement of 
long-lead components and that the long-lead procurement will be 
conducted in a manner that maximizes co-production in the United States 
without incurring additional non-recurring engineering activity or 
cost. The Director of the Missile Defense Agency would also be required 
to submit to the Congress, at the same time the President submits to 
Congress the budget request for fiscal year 2017, a plan to achieve a 
rate of co-production by United States industry of parts and components 
of the David's Sling Weapon System at a rate that is not less than 50 
percent.

Boost phase defense system (sec. 1680)

collaboration and cooperation between MDA and other Department 
of Defense components, and directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide the congressional defense committees with a report, 
within 120 days of enactment of this Act, of Department of 
Defense efforts to develop and deploy a boost phase airborne 
laser weapon system for missile defense.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prioritize 
feasible and cost-effective efforts, would eliminate the 
requirement for a senior level advisory group and require a 
report on the efforts of the Department of Defense to develop 
and deploy an airborne or other boost phase defense system by 
fiscal year 2025. The report should also include 
recommendations from industry on emerging technologies that 
could be applied for boost phase missile defense, and an 
evaluation by MDA of those recommendations. We also encourage 
the Department of Defense to develop concept of operations for 
those boost phase missile defense systems for which it intends 
to develop prototypes to accompany its fiscal year 2017 budget 
request.

publishes the draft environmental impact statements (EIS) being 
conducted for the candidate sites.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1651) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan for 
expediting the deployment time for a potential future 
continental United States interceptor site by at least 2 years, 
and submit to the congressional defense committees a report on 
such plan not later than 30 days after the transmittal of the 
EIS required by the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2013. The provision would require the Comptroller 
General to assess the Department's report on the deployment 
plan and submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees with findings and recommendations.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
Director of the Missile Defense Agency, in consultation with 
the Commander of United States Northern Command, to designate 
the preferred location in the United States for the potential 
future deployment of a missile defense site not later than 30 
days after the Secretary of Defense publishes the draft EIS 
pursuant to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2013. The determination of such site should be based on 
operational effectiveness and cost effectiveness in addition to 
the results of the EIS. The Secretary would be permitted to 
submit any updates to the designation that he finds appropriate 
after the final EIS is submitted. According to the Missile 
Defense Agency, the draft EIS is anticipated to be completed 
and published in the Federal Register by January 2016 and the 
EIS is anticipated to be finalized between April and July of 
2016.
    Not later than 30 days after the Secretary of Defense 
completes the final designation of the missile defense site, 
the Secretary of Defense shall develop and submit to the 
congressional defense committees a plan for expediting the 
deployment time for a potential future continental interceptor 
site by at least 2 years, in the case that the decision is made 
to proceed with such deployment. Not later than 90 days after 
the Secretary of Defense submits the plan to Congress, the 
Comptroller General of the United States is to provide its 
assessment of that plan. The Secretary of Defense may not 
obligate or expend such planning and design funds for military 
construction as are authorized in this Act until such date as 
the final EIS is published.

Additional missile defense sensor coverage for the protection of United 
        States homeland (sec. 1684)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1673) that would 
require the sea-based X-band (SBX) radar to be relocated to a 
new homeport on the East Coast of the United States no later 
than December 31, 2020, and shall have an at-sea capability of 
not less than 120 days per year. Prior to relocating the sea-
based X-band radar, the Director of the Missile Defense Agency 
(MDA) would be required to certify that the relocation would 
not impact the missile defense of Hawaii. Additionally, this 
provision would require the Director of MDA to begin siting 
studies, environmental impact surveys, and any other 
appropriate studies and evaluations to base the sea-based X-
band radar at a site on the East Coast.
    The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1652) 
that would require the Director of MDA, in cooperation with the 
relevant combatant command, to deploy by not later than 
December 31, 2020, a long-range discrimination radar or other 
appropriate tracking and discrimination sensor capabilities in 
a location optimized to support the defense of the homeland of 
the United States against emerging long-range ballistic missile 
threats from Iran.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the 
sense of the Congress that additional missile defense sensor 
discrimination capabilities are needed to enhance the 
protection of the United States homeland against potential 
long-range ballistic missiles from Iran. Accordingly, the 
Director of MDA shall, in cooperation with the relevant 
combatant command, deploy by not later than December 31, 2020, 
a long-range discrimination radar or other appropriate sensor 
capability in a location optimized to support the defense of 
the homeland of the United States from emerging long-range 
ballistic missile threats from Iran. The Director of MDA shall 
commence any siting studies and other required evaluations 
necessary to carry out the homeport reassignment of the SBX to 
the east coast. The Director of MDA shall commence a study to 
evaluate at leastthree possible additional locations, selected 
by the Director of MDA, that would be best suited for future deployment 
of an advanced missile defense sensor site at a location, whether in 
the United States or not, optimized against threats from Iran. In the 
event that the Department of Defense determines to move the SBX to the 
east coast, such a relocation may not be carried out until the date on 
which the Director of MDA certifies to the congressional defense 
committees that Hawaii will have adequate missile defense coverage 
prior to any reassignment of the homeport of the SBX. The Director of 
MDA shall include in the budget request for each fiscal year until 
December 31, 2020 an update on his progress in implementing this 
provision.

included language in the report accompanying its bill, that 
would request a report from the Missile Defense Agency on the 
need for a space-based interceptor layer, assessment of the 
maturity of necessary technology, and an estimate of the 
effectiveness and cost of such a space-based missile defense 
layer.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
Director of the Missile Defense Agency, in coordination with 
the Director of the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency 
and the Secretary of the Air Force, to commence the concept 
definition of a space-based ballistic missile intercept layer 
and report its findings to the defense committees not later 
than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act. The 
agreement does not include the language in the original House 
provision that would direct MDA to begin design, engineering 
evaluations, or research and development on a space-based 
layer. Not later than March 31, 2016, the Director of the 
Missile Defense Agency shall provide to the congressional 
defense committees an interim briefing on the plan described in 
subsection (c) (2). In light of this agreement, the Missile 
Defense Agency does not have to submit to the congressional 
defense committees the report on a space-based missile defense 
interceptor as directed in the Senate Report 114-49 
accompanying the Senate bill.

to current ballistic missile defense system sensors to offset 
capacity demands on current Aegis ships, Aegis Ashore sites, 
and Patriot and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense capability 
and to meet the requirements of the combatant commanders. Such 
review would be further reviewed and evaluated by the Secretary 
of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It 
would further require that the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Policy and the Secretary of State to jointly identify any 
obstacles to foreign military sales of Aegis Ashore or co-
financing of additional Aegis Ashore sites.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that includes certain 
technical changes that would eliminate the requirement for the 
President to enter into negotiations on host nation agreements 
for Aegis Ashore sites. We also add direction that the 
Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs include 
in their evaluation recommendations for potential future 
locations of Aegis Ashore sites.

current capability gaps in meeting such requirement.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to oversee the 
development of warfighter requirements for persistent and 
survivable capabilities to detect, identify, determine the 
status, track, and support engagement of strategically 
important mobile or relocatable assets. The requirements shall 
be used for the purpose of informing applicable acquisition 
programs (including those involving systems-of-systems required 
to integrate multiple inputs and outputs of related left-of-
launch information) and architecture planning funded through 
the Military Intelligence Program, the National Intelligence 
Program, and non-intelligence programs. The Vice Chairman shall 
also oversee the development of the enabling framework for 
intelligence support to integrated air and missile defense and, 
as appropriate, the development of requirements for 
capabilities to be acquired to achieve integrated operation.

Extension of requirement for Comptroller General of the United States 
        review and assessment of missile defense acquisition programs 
        (sec. 1688)

repeal or revise reporting requirements related to missile 
defense. These requirements include removing annual reports on 
the Missile Defense Executive Board, and removing a required 
report on the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1660) that 
would amend section 232 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) and would extend 
various reporting requirements by an additional 5 years to 
Comptroller General of the United States reviews and 
assessments of missile defense acquisition programs.
    The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. We note that 
several annual reporting requirements directed toward the

    The House recedes with an amendment that would transform 
the provision into a sense of Congress with a reporting 
requirement. We expect the Department to include in the 
required report whether there are any potential ambiguity 
problems created by conventional prompt global strike 
capability, including any involving the launch of a 
conventionally-armed ballistic missile from a submarine 
platform, that it is aware of as of the date of the Milestone A 
acquisition decision, and if so, to also include in the 
required report what specific measures he is recommending to 
address those problems. Additionally, such report should 
include whether there are any appropriate bilateral cooperative 
or verification measures he recommends and the timeline for 
decision and implementation of such measures and their cost.

           Title XXIV--Defense Agencies Military Construction


Summary

    The budget request included authorization of appropriations 
of $2.3 billion for military construction for the defense 
agencies and $58.7 million for family housing for the defense 
agencies for fiscal year 2016.
    The agreement includes authorization of appropriations of 
$2.3 billion for military construction for the defense agencies 
and $58.7 million for family housing for the defense agencies 
for fiscal year 2016.
    The budget request included $239.9 million for the Hospital 
Replacement, Increment 7 at Fort Bliss, Texas. We support the 
authorization for appropriations in an amount equivalent to the 
ability of the military department to execute in the year of 
the authorization for appropriations. For this project, we 
believe that the Department of Defense has exceeded its ability 
to fully expend the funding requested for fiscal year 2016. As 
such, the agreement recommends $189.9 million, a reduction of 
$50.0 million, for this project.
    The budget request included $47.2 million for the SOF 
Logistics Support Unit One Ops Fac. #2 at Naval Base Coronado, 
California. We note that the utilities needed to support this 
facility are not available and are not programmed until fiscal 
year 2017. Without these utilities, we note that the facility 
would not be complete and useable. While we support the 
requirement for this project, and the agreement includes $47.2 
million for this project, we expect the Department of Defense 
to sequence the construction of this project in a manner that 
ensures the required supporting utilities are available at the 
time the construction is complete.
    The budget request included $10.0 million for contingency 
construction at various world-wide locations. We note that the 
Department of Defense has not requested a military construction 
project using funds from this account since 2008. As such, the 
agreement recommends no funds, a reduction of $10.0 million, 
for this program.
    In addition, we recommend an increase of funding for a 
military construction project not included in the budget 
request, $30.0 million for the Missile Defense Agency Military 
Construction Planning and Design activities for an East Coast 
site for homeland missile defense.

total of projects across various locations, each project of 
which is less than $3.0 million. This section would also 
preclude the ability to set-aside operation and maintenance 
facilities restoration and modernization funds for the 
exclusive purpose of funding energy projects. It would require 
installation energy projects to compete in the normal process 
of determining installation requirements.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
2402).
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Authorization of appropriations, defense agencies (sec. 2403)

construction at the levels identified in section 4601 of

    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
2403).
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.
    We note that the amounts associated with the following 
projects remain available under the original project 
authorization:
          (1) $20,800,000 (the balance of the amount authorized 
        under section 2401(b) of the Military Construction 
        Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (division B of 
        Public Law 112-239; 126 Stat. 2129) for the Aegis 
        Ashore Missile Defense System Complex at Deveselu, 
        Romania);
          (2) $141,039,000 (the balance of the amount 
        authorized under section 2401(a) of the Military 
        Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 
        (division B of Public Law 112-81; 125 Stat. 1672), as 
        amended by section 2404(a) of the Military Construction 
        Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (division B 
        Public Law 112-239; 126 Stat. 2131), for a data center 
        at Fort Meade, Maryland);
          (3) $50,500,000 (the balance of the amount authorized 
        under section 2401(a) of the Military Construction 
        Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (division B of 
        Public Law 112-81; 125 Stat. 1672) for an Ambulatory 
        Care Center at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland);
          (4) $54,300,000 (the balance of the amount authorized 
        under section 2401(a) of the Military Construction 
        Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (division B of 
        Public Law 112-81; 125 Stat. 1672) for an Ambulatory 
        Care Center at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas); and
          (5) $123,827,000 (the balance of the amount 
        authorized as a Military Construction, Defense-Wide 
        project by title X of the Supplemental Appropriations 
        Act, 2009 (Public Law 111-32; 123 Stat. 1888) for a 
        data center at Camp Williams, Utah).
    We also note that overlapping statutory authorities between 
title 10, United States Code, and title 50, United States Code, 
have resulted in challenges and delays in executing a recent 
emergency military construction project. Specifically, the 
overlap found in section 2803 of title 10, United States Code, 
and section 3304 of title 50, United States Code, resulted in a 
significant delay in a request for emergency funds. Therefore, 
we direct the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
Director of National Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees and the congressional 
intelligence committees not later than March 1, 2016, on the 
statutory authorities for infrastructure investments that 
support both the Department of Defense and the Intelligence 
Community. The briefing should include a comparison of 
authorities found in both titles for infrastructure 
investments, a discussion of any discrepancies between the 
authorities, the impact that identified discrepancies may have 
on the timely execution of an infrastructure investment, and, 
if necessary, recommendations for legislation to clarify or 
streamline the statutory authorities to ensure the timely and 
effective execution of an infrastructure investment.
    Furthermore, we expect supporting classified material for 
any ongoing or future classified projects to be delivered to 
the congressional defense committees in a more timely fashion, 
to ensure proper oversight and consideration is given to these 
projects.

        (sec. 2404)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2404) that would 
modify the authority provided by section 2401 of the Military

        beneficial to the Department of Defense and Kuwait Military 
        Forces (sec. 2804)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2802) that would 
authorize the Secretary of Defense, after consultation with the 
Secretary of State, to accept contributions from the Government 
of the State of Kuwait in support of construction, maintenance,

        Subtitle B--Real Property and Facilities Administration


Protection of Department of Defense installations (sec. 2811)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1042) that 
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to protect the 
buildings, grounds, and property that are under the 
jurisdiction, custody, or control of the Department of Defense 
(DOD) and persons on that property. The provision provides that 
the Secretary may designate personnel to: (1) enforce federal 
laws and regulations for the protection of persons and 
property; (2) carry firearms; (3) make arrests; and (4) conduct 
investigations of offenses against the property of the DOD. 
This new authority would not apply in those locations currently 
under the protection of the Federal Protective Service, for 
example, office buildings provided by the General Services 
Administration in which DOD organizations are tenants.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Enhancement of authority to accept conditional gifts of real property 
        on behalf of military service academies (sec. 2812)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2811) that would 
provide consistency across the military service academies on 
the acceptance of a gift of real property, if the gift of such 
real property is conditioned upon the property bearing a 
specified name. This section would authorize the military 
service academies to accept such a gift if the acceptance and 
naming would not reflect unfavorably on the United States, and 
the real property has not otherwise been named by an act of 
Congress. This section would also require the secretaries of 
the military departments to issue uniform regulations governing 
circumstances under which gifts conditioned on naming rights 
may be accepted.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would restrict 
the ability to delegate this authority to only individuals 
appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

Utility systems conveyance authority (sec. 2813)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2811) that 
would clarify section 2688(j) of title 10, United States Code, 
to allow for conveyance of additional utility systems to an 
entity already operating other utility systems on a joint base 
if doing so would be in the best interest of the government and 
is supported by an independent cost estimate.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with a technical amendment.
    We note that there has been confusion about whether the 
definition of a utility system for the treatment of wastewater 
includes the treatment of stormwater. We believe, consistent 
with the Department of Defense's interpretation, that 
wastewater includes stormwater.

Leasing of non-excess property of military departments and Defense 
        Agencies; treatment of value provided by local education 
        agencies and elementary and secondary schools (sec. 2814)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2812) that 
would amend section 2667 of title 10, United States Code, by 
authorizing the secretary concerned to lease non-excess 
property for consideration in an amount below fair market value 
if the lease is to a local education agency or an elementary or 
secondary school. This provision is intended to help local 
education agencies and schools that are providing support for 
military families.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Force-structure plan and infrastructure inventory and assessment of 
        infrastructure necessary to support the force structure (sec. 
        2815)

require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report, as part of 
the budget justification documents accompanying the President's 
budget request for fiscal year 2017, that details a 20-year 
force structure plan for each of the military services and a 
comprehensive inventory of worldwide infrastructure. The report 
would also compare these two items to determine the 
infrastructure necessary to support the force structure, 
discuss the categories of excess infrastructure and 
infrastructure capacity, and assess the value of retaining 
certain excess infrastructure to accommodate contingency, 
mobilization, or surge requirements. In addition, this 
provision would require the Comptroller General of the United 
States to prepare an evaluation of such force-structure plans 
and infrastructure inventory not later than 60 days after the 
date on which the plans and inventory are submitted to 
Congress. The committee encourages the Secretary of Defense and 
the Comptroller General to also take into consideration, as 
appropriate, the recommendations regarding force structure and 
force sizing provided by the July 31, 2014, assessment of the 
2014 Quadrennial Defense Review by the National Defense Panel.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove 
certain elements of the proposed review including a review of 
efficiencies from joint tenancy of military installations and 
potential restrictions on facilities outside the United States.

Temporary reporting requirements related to main operating bases, 
        forward operating sites, and cooperative security locations 
        (sec. 2816)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2813) that would 
amend section 2687a(a) of title 10, United States Code, by 
adding a requirement for the Secretary of Defense to include 
with the existing overseas basing report a strategic summary 
for each main operating base, forward operating site, or 
cooperative security location within the U.S. Central Command 
and U.S. Africa Command area of responsibility. This provision 
would sunset in fiscal year 2020.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make the 
requirements applicable to operating locations that have been 
newly designated, or had a change in its designation as a main 
operating base, forward operating site, or cooperative security 
location since the previous fiscal year's report.

Exemption of Army off-site use and off-site removal only non-mobile 
        properties from certain excess property disposal requirements 
        (sec. 2817)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2816) that 
would exempt from the requirements of title V of the McKinney-
Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11411 et seq.) certain 
non-mobile properties that are not feasible for transfer and 
use for the purposes of that act.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

  Subtitle C--Provisions Related to Asia-Pacific Military Realignment


Limited exception to restriction on development of public 
        infrastructure in connection with realignment of Marine Corps 
        forces in Asia-Pacific region (sec. 2821)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2821) that would 
amend restrictions placed on the development of civilian 
infrastructure on Guam to support the realignment of Marine 
Corps Forces in the Asia-Pacific region to allow the use of 
funds for infrastructure projects that are identified in the 
report of the Economic Adjustment Committee required by section 
2831(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66). This section would also permit 
the use of funding for the planning and design of such 
projects.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
the Secretary of Defense to proceed only with projects intended 
to improve water and wastewater systems that are identified in 
the report prepared by the Secretary of Defense under section 
2822(d)(2) of the Military Construction Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2014 (P.L. 113-66).
    We believe that projects which are directly connected to 
the Department of Defense's actions, and are fiscally 
responsible, are appropriate investments for the Department of 
Defense, but projects without a direct military connection 
should be funded through local or other non-defense federal 
funding.

Annual report on Government of Japan contributions toward realignment 
        of Marine Corps forces in Asia-Pacific region (sec. 2822)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2822) that would

the congressional defense committees for each of fiscal years 
2017-26 that addresses the total amount contributed from the 
Government of Japan to the Support for United States Relocation 
to Guam Account during the most recent year, as well as the 
anticipated contributions to be made during the current and 
next Japanese fiscal years. The report would also cover the 
infrastructure projects carried out on Guam or the Commonwealth 
of the Northern Mariana Islands in the previous fiscal year 
using funds from the Support for United States Relocation to 
Guam Account, as well as the projects anticipated to be carried 
out during the next fiscal year. This section would also repeal 
a reporting requirement from the Duncan Hunter National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417).
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with technical amendment.

                      Subtitle D--Land Conveyances


Release of reversionary interest retained as part of the conveyance to 
        the Economic Development Alliance of Jefferson County, Arkansas 
        (sec. 2831)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2821) that 
would amend the terms of conveyance contained in section 2827 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 
(Public Law 104-201) to allow the conveyance for other than the 
conditions contained in the section 2827, if the Economic 
Development Alliance pays fair market value for the property 
and the costs associated with conveyance are born by the 
Economic Development Alliance.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Land exchange authority, Mare Island Army Reserve Center, Vallejo, 
        California (sec. 2832)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2831) that would 
authorize a land exchange involving a parcel of real property 
under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Army on the site 
of the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, California, 
in the event that a current real property exchange process is 
unsuccessful.

    The Senate recedes.

        Field, Florida (sec. 2833)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2832) that would 
authorize the Secretary of the Navy to convey a parcel of real 
property, including any improvements thereon, containing Navy 
Outlying Landing Field Site 8 in Escambia County, Florida, to 
Escambia County. In exchange, this section would require 
Escambia County to convey to the Secretary of the Navy a parcel 
of property that is suitable for use as a Navy outlying landing 
field to replace Navy Outlying Landing Field Site 8.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
2822).
    The Senate recedes.

authorize the Secretary of the Army to release the rights and 
the reversionary interests reserved by the United States for a 
parcel of land at Camp Villere, Louisiana, to the State of 
Louisiana to transfer the parcel to the Louisiana Agricultural 
Finance Authority and make available real property to the 
Louisiana Military Department that is suitable for use for 
National Guard training and operational support.

amend section 2971(b) of the Military Construction 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (division B of Public 
Law 113-66; 27 Stat. 1044) to provide for an additional public 
land withdrawal in San Bernardino County, California, to 
support operations at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, 
California. The provision would also amend Section 2979 of the 
same Act to convert both land withdrawals from 25-year 
withdrawals into permanent withdrawals.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would include 
only the additional land withdrawal, leaving the original 
withdrawal period through March 31, 2039.

        markings (sec. 2851)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2861) that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to modify the Unified

Force engineering technical letter, and any other Department of 
Defense guidance on airfield pavement markings as necessary to 
permit the use of Type III category of retro-reflective beads. 
In addition, the Secretary shall develop appropriate policy to 
ensure that determination of the category of retro-reflective 
beads used on airfields is determined on an installation-by-
installation basis based on local conditions and the life-cycle 
maintenance costs of the pavement markings.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Resources Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-229), through May 8, 
2018.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted


Change in authorities relating to scope of work variations for military 
        construction projects

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2802) that 
would amend section 2853 of title 10, United States Code, to 
authorize a military service to increase the scope of a 
military construction project by up to 10 percent once the 
service secretary involved approves the increase and notifies 
the congressional defense committees of the increase and the 
reasons for it.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Special authority for minor military construction projects for child 
        development program facilities

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2804) that would

the appropriate Secretary to carry out an unspecified minor 
military construction project with an approved cost equal to or 
less than $15.0 million to create, expand, or modify a child 
development program facility serving children under 13 years of 
age.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Sense of the Congress regarding base housing projects

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2805) that would 
express the sense of the Congress regarding how the Department 
of Defense should consider commuting times and available land 
on base when prioritizing base housing projects.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note that the Department already considers commute times 
and available land, among other issues, when making base 
housing decisions and encourage the Department to continue to 
do so.

Consultation requirement in connection with Department of Defense major 
        land acquisitions

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2812) that would 
modify section 2664(a) of title 10, United States Code, to 
require consultation by the Secretary concerned with the chief 
executive officer of the state, district, or territory as to 
options for completing the real property acquisition.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note that the Secretary concerned is already required to 
obtain a specific military construction authorization in 
accordance with section 2802 of title 10, United States Code, 
and comply with National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 
U.S.C. 4321) before any major land acquisition can be 
implemented.

Modification of facility repair notification requirement

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2813) that 
would modify section 2811 of title 10, United States Code, by 
adding new congressional notifications for facility repair 
projects that are expected to cost more than 75 percent of the 
estimated cost of a military construction project to replace 
the facility or the facility is located at an overseas location 
that has not been designated a main operating base or forward 
operating site. These new reporting requirements would only 
apply to facility repair projects that are expected to cost 
more than $1.0 million.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We believe that, as a matter of practice, the Department of 
Defense should notify the congressional defense committees of 
the expenditure of significant funding for repairs at overseas 
locations that have not been designated as a main operating 
base or forward operating site even if such expenditures do not 
meet the thresholds specified in section 2811 of title 10, 
United States Code.

Arsenal installation reutilization authority

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2815) that would 
allow the Secretary with authority over a military 
manufacturing arsenal to delegate leasing authority to the 
commander of the military manufacturing arsenal.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note that section 2667 of title 10, United States Code, 
provides the Secretary concerned the authority to lease non-
excess property and that the Secretary has the ability to 
delegate authority to approve such leases. Therefore, we 
encourage the Secretary concerned to consider delegating 
authority to lease non-excess property at military 
manufacturing arsenals if the Secretary concerned believes such 
delegation of authority would be in the best interest of the 
Department.

Sense of Congress on coordination of hunting, fishing, and other 
        recreational activities on military land

would express the sense of Congress on the coordination between 
the Department of Defense and state fish and wildlife managers, 
tribes, and local governments to facilitate communication with 
hunting, fishing, and recreational use groups prior to 
traditional hunting, fishing, and recreational use seasons.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.
    We note the extensive process that base commanders go 
through in coordinating with appropriate state and local groups 
when opening the base for hunting, fishing, and other 
recreational activities.

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2835) that would

department determines a military purpose does not exist, or the

Amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act

prohibit the designation of federal property as a National 
Historic Landmark or for nomination to the World Heritage List 
if the head of the agency managing the federal property objects 
to such inclusion or designation for reasons of national 
security. This section would also authorize the expedited 
removal of federal property listed on the National Register of 
Historic Places if the managing agency of that federal property 
submits a request to the Secretary of Interior for such removal 
for reasons of national security.

    The House recedes.

Protection and recovery of greater sage grouse

U.S.C. 1533(b)(3)(B)) through September 30, 2025. This section 
would prohibit the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary 
of Agriculture from amending any Federal resource management 
plan applicable to Federal lands in a State in which the 
Governor of the State has notified the Secretaries concerned 
that the State has a State management plan in place. Lastly, 
this section would also require the Secretary of the Interior

    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Improvement to accountability of Department of Energy employees and 
        projects (sec. 3111)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3113) that would 
amend subtitle C of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2442) to add a new section 
requiring the Secretary of Energy and the Administrator for 
Nuclear Security to jointly notify the specified congressional 
committees the number of covered employees whose security 
clearance was revoked during the previous year and the length 
of time such employees were employed by the Department of 
Energy or NNSA since such revocation. This provision would also 
require that the Secretary of the Administrator may not pay to 
a covered employee a salary bonus during the one-year period 
beginning on the date on which the Secretary of the 
Administrator determines that the covered employee committed 
improper program management or whose actions undermined health, 
safety or security, while providing the authority to waive the 
denial of a salary bonus. Additionally, the provision would 
require the Secretary or Administrator to notify the specified 
congressional committees of the actions being taken against DOE 
or NNSA contractors, pursuant to contractual terms, whose 
actions lead to project or program delays or cost-growth.

3118) that would provide authority to the Administrator of the 
National Nuclear Security Administration to withhold bonus 
payments to employees who engage in improper program management 
on the date such a determination is made.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would reference 
the terms of exceeding cost, scope and schedule to those 
established in section 4713 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act 
(50 U.S.C. 2753) or the terms of critical decision three of 
Department of Energy Order 413.3B (Program and Project 
Management for the Acquisition of Capital Assets) as well as, 
pursuant to a requirement to issue new Departmental or 
Administration guidance, actions that jeopardize the health, 
safety, or security of employees or facilities of the 
Administration or another element of the Department of Energy 
involved in nuclear security or in carrying out defense nuclear 
nonproliferation activities. The amendment further provides for 
a waiver for either program management or health, safety or 
security with notification to the congressional committees of 
the waiver and a period of 60 days elapses following the 
notification. The amendment further requires notifying the 
congressional defenses committees if a contractor of the 
National Nuclear Security Administration exceeds cost, scope 
and schedule as defined by section 4713 of the Atomic Energy 
Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2753) or by critical decision three of 
Department of Energy Order 413.3B (Program and Project 
Management for the Acquisition of Capital Assets), including an 
explanation as to whether termination of the contract is an 
appropriate remedy, a description of the terms of the contract 
regarding award fees and performance, and a description of what 
options under the contract will be exercised in response. If 
such information cannot be submitted by reason of a contract 
enforcement action a notification shall be submitted of the 
enforcement action and the date on which the required 
information shall be submitted.

Stockpile responsiveness program (sec. 3112)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3115) that would 
amend the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2521) to 
establish that it is the policy of the United States to 
sustain, enhance, and continually exercise all capabilities 
required to conceptualize, study, design, develop, engineer, 
certify, produce, and deploy nuclear weapons to ensure the 
nuclear deterrent of the United States remains safe, secure, 
reliable, credible, and responsive. The Secretary of Energy, 
acting through the Administrator for Nuclear Security and in 
consultation with the Secretary of Defense, would be required 
to carry out a program in parallel with the stockpile 
stewardship program and stockpile management program to fulfill 
this policy. This section would also stipulate a series of 
objectives for this program. Finally, this section would amend 
certain existing annual reporting requirements to ensure robust 
attention on the program by senior leaders and enable 
congressional oversight of the status and effectiveness of the 
program.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3111) that 
would to develop a responsive capabilities program to exercise 
the design capabilities of the weapons complex that would lead 
to shorter and most cost effective design and engineering tools 
and manufacturing methods for parts and joint test assemblies 
that would lead to actual prototype testing as the final 
exercise, similar to an ongoing effort already underway at the 
National Nuclear Security Administration.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that adds to the House 
provision the importance of an integrated design life cycle, to 
shorten design, certification, and manufacturing timelines in 
order to minimize the amount of time and costs leading to an 
engineering prototype and production.

Notification of cost overruns and selected acquisition reports for 
        major alteration projects (sec. 3113)

        3115)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3135) that would 
require the Administrator for Nuclear Security to seek to enter 
into a contract with the JASON Defense Advisory Panel to 
conduct a review of the laboratory-directed research and 
development (LDRD) program authorized under section 4811 of the 
Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2791). The review would be 
required to include assessments of whether and how the projects 
within the LDRD program support the mission of the National 
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), whether the science 
conducted under LDRD underpin the advancement of scientific 
understanding necessary for NNSA's core programs, the 
scientific and programmatic opportunities and challenges in the 
LDRD program, recent significant accomplishments and failures 
within the LDRD program, and how LDRD projects are selected for 
funding. This section would require the Administrator to submit 
to the congressional defense committees, by November 1, 2016, a 
report containing the review carried out by the JASON Defense 
Advisory Panel. This House bill would also require a briefing 
to the congressional defense committees by the Comptroller 
General of the United States by November 1, 2016. The 
Comptroller General would be required to assess: how NNSA LDRD 
funding limits compare to other Department of Energy and 
Department of Defense laboratories and federally funded 
research and development centers; how many NNSA personnel are 
supported by LDRD funding, including how many receive a 
majority of their compensation from LDRD; and how many devote 
the majority of their time to LDRD programs for more than three 
years.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3117) that 
would amend section 4811(c) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act 
(50 U.S.C. 2791(c)) to strike the 6 percent upper bound for 
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) weapons 
laboratory-directed research and development programs with a 
floor not to go below 5 percent with a upper bound of 8 
percent. A similar provision was recommended for NNSA weapons 
production facilities and the Nevada Site Office with a ceiling 
of 4 percent.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
plant direct laboratory research and development programs, 
reduce the ceiling to 7 percent and require a briefing by the 
Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, 
no later than February 28, 2016, on all recent or ongoing 
reviews of the laboratory-directed research and development 
program, including such reviews initiated by the Secretary of 
Energy; the costs and accounting practices associated with 
laboratory-directed research and development; how laboratory-
directed research and development projects support the mission 
of the National Nuclear Security Administration. We direct the 
Government Accountability Office to assess no later than March 
15, 2016, how NNSA LDRD funding limits compare to other 
Department of Energy and Department of Defense laboratories and 
federally funded research and development centers; how many 
NNSA personnel are supported by LDRD funding, including how 
many receive a majority of their compensation from LDRD; and 
how many devote the majority of their time to LDRD programs for 
more than 3 years.

Hanford waste treatment and immobilization plant contract oversight 
        (sec. 3116)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (section 3115) 
that would require the Secretary of Energy to arrange to have 
an owner's agent assist the Secretary in carrying out oversight 
responsibilities associated with Hanford Waste Treatment and 
Immobilization Plant contract DE-AC27-01RV14136. Since the 
current contractor for the Waste Treatment Plant is its own 
design agent, the owner's design agent will act as an 
independent expert on the project.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment with clarifying 
language to ensure that the owner's agent does not assume roles 
reserved for the federal government, that the owner's agent's 
role is to advise the Secretary of Energy, and that the owner's 
agent report would be sent to the Secretary of Energy who would 
transmit the report with any additional views to the 
congressional defense committees.

Use of best practices for capital asset projects and nuclear weapon 
        life extension programs (sec. 3117)

require that, of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 
this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 for 
defense nuclear nonproliferation for material management and 
minimization, not more than $5.0 million shall be made 
available to the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors for 
initial planning and early research and development of an 
advanced naval nuclear fuel system based on low-enriched 
uranium. In addition, this section would require that, at the 
same time the President submits the fiscal year 2017 budget to 
Congress, the Secretary of Energy, and the Secretary of the 
Navy shall jointly submit to the congressional defense 
committees their determination as to whether the United States 
should continue to pursue research and development of an 
advanced naval nuclear fuel system based on low-enriched 
uranium. If the Secretaries determine to continue the research 
and development, the Secretaries would be required to ensure 
the budget request for fiscal year 2017 includes funding to 
carry out the program within the defense nuclear 
nonproliferation, material management, and minimization budget 
line. Not later than 30 days after the date of the submission 
of such determination, the Deputy Administrator for Naval 
Reactors would be required to submit to the congressional 
defense committees a plan for such research and development, as 
well as ensuring that the budget includes amounts for defense 
nuclear nonproliferation for material management and 
minimization necessary to carry out the plan. Finally, this 
section would require that, if the Secretaries determine such 
research and development should continue, not later than 60 
days after the date on which the Deputy Administrator submits 
the plan, the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors would be 
required to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the 
Deputy Administrator for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation 
regarding the research and development of an advanced naval 
nuclear fuel system based on low-enriched uranium, including 
with respect to how funding for such research and development 
will be requested for the ``Defense Nuclear nonproliferation'' 
account for material management and minimization and provided 
to Naval Reactors to carry out the program.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that requires the 
Deputy Administrator of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration to submit within 90 days after the date of 
enactment a conceptual plan for research and development of an 
advanced naval nuclear fuel system based on low-enriched 
uranium to meet military requirements to the congressional 
defense committees. In addition, 60 days after the conceptual 
plan is submitted, the Secretary of Energy and the Secretary of 
the Navy shall make a determination as to whether the United 
States should continue to pursue research and development of an 
advanced naval nuclear fuel system based on low-enriched 
uranium. If the Secretaries determine that such research and 
development should continue, they shall include funding 
necessary in fiscal year 2018, and in fiscal year 2017 if 
feasible, to carry out such a plan in the budget line item for 
the Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation account for material 
management and minimization.

Disposition of weapons usable plutonium (sec. 3119)

    The House bill contained a provision (section 3119) that 
would require the Secretary of Energy to carry out construction 
and program support activities for the Mixed Oxide (MOX) Fuel 
Fabrication Facility with any funds authorized to be 
appropriated or otherwise made available for such purposes for 
fiscal year 2016 and any prior fiscal years. This section would 
also require the Secretary to include in the budget 
justification materials submitted to Congress for fiscal year 
2017 an updated performance baseline for construction and 
project support activities relating to the MOX facility.
    The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that authorizes the 
Secretary to spend $5.0 million to conduct an analysis of 
alternative options for carrying out the plutonium disposition 
program. We direct that the analysis of alternatives be 
comprehensive with regard to potentially cost-effective 
alternatives, and to include as alternatives various options 
for disposal, including costs and timelines associated with 
options for down-blending, immobilization, disposal in 
canisters, and deep borehole disposal. We further direct that 
as part of the down-blending analysis, that the Department of 
Energy address the questions pertaining to down-blending as 
found in Senate Report 114-49 (Report to Accompany S. 1376, 
``National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal year 2016''), 
pages 326-329.

Establishment of microlab pilot program (sec. 3120)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3136) that would 
give the authority to the Secretary to establish a microlab 
pilot program in close proximity to a national laboratory and

collaboration with regional research groups, accelerating 
technology transfer from national laboratories to the 
marketplace; promoting regional workforce development through 
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics instruction 
and training.
    The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 
definition of microlab to one that is in close proximity to but 
outside the perimeter of a national security laboratory; an 
extension of or affiliated with a national security laboratory; 
and accessible to the public. The amendment also narrows the 
national laboratory to one that is a national security 
laboratory as defined in section 3821 of the National Nuclear 
Security Act (50 U.S.C. 2471). The amendment further uses 
``consultation'' rather than ``coordination'' with lab 
directors and adjusts timing of reports.

Prohibition on the availability of funds for the provision of defense 
        nuclear nonproliferation assistance to the Russian Federation 
        (sec. 3121)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3118) that would 
provide that none of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 
this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 for 
defense nuclear nonproliferation activities may be obligated or 
expended to enter into a contract with, or otherwise provide 
assistance to, the Russian Federation. The Secretary of Energy, 
without delegation, would be provided the authority to waive 
this prohibition if the Secretary submits a report to the 
appropriate congressional committees containing notification 
that such a waiver is in the national security interest of the 
United States, a justification for such waiver, and a period of 
15 days elapses.
    The Senate amendment contains no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Prohibition on availability of funds for fixed site radiological portal 
        monitors in foreign countries (sec. 3122)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3117) that would 
prohibit any funds authorized by this Act or otherwise made 
available for fiscal year 2016 or any fiscal year thereafter 
for the National Nuclear Security Administration from being 
obligated or expended for the research and development, 
installation, or sustainment of fixed site radiological portal 
monitors or equipment for use in foreign countries. This 
section would clarify that this prohibition does not apply to 
such activities for mobile radiological inspection equipment.
    The Senate amendment had no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
fiscal year 2016 funds for installation of fixed site portal 
monitors in foreign countries after date of enactment until the 
DNI submits an assessment on whether and the extent to which 
fixed site and mobile radiological monitors address nuclear 
nonproliferation and smuggling threats; the contribution of 
other threat reduction programs and how well such programs 
address nuclear nonproliferation and smuggling threats; which 
programs have the greatest impact and cost-benefit for 
addressing nuclear nonproliferation and smuggling threats; and 
such other matters as the Director considers appropriate. The 
amendment also requires the Administrator for Nuclear Security 
to submit a plan by March 1, 2016 to transition sustainment of 
existing fixed site monitors, to the greatest extent possible, 
to host nation.

Limitation on availability of funds for certain arms control and 
        nonproliferation technologies (sec. 3123)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3120) that would 
prohibit any funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or 
otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 for the National 
Nuclear Security Administration's Defense Nuclear 
Nonproliferation program from being obligated or expended to 
develop nonproliferation or arms control verification or 
monitoring technologies beyond Technology Readiness Level 5 
(TRL 5) unless the Secretary of Energy certifies that such 
technologies are being developed to fulfill the rights or 
obligations of the United States under either: (1) a current 
arms control or nonproliferation treaty or agreement; or (2) a 
treaty or agreement that the Secretary expects will enter into 
force within 2 years. The Secretary would be required to submit 
this written certification to the appropriate congressional 
committees and include, for each technology the Secretary 
certifies for development beyond TRL 5, an identification of 
the amount of fiscal year 2016 funds that will used and how 
such development helps to fulfill the rights or obligations of 
the United States under the treaty or agreement.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes to the House with an amendment that 
would prohibit fiscal year 2016 funds to test or validate 
technologies in the Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control 
designed to be used to verify and monitor obligations under 
arms control treaties or other agreements to which U.S. is not 
a signatory until the Administrator submits a review to 
congressional defense committees. The review would be required 
to include the technology readiness level of the technology; 
the obligation under a treaty or other international agreement 
supported by the technology; and the purpose for which the 
technology is being developed or produced. We note that, based 
on information provided by the Administrator, the funding for 
the activities that would be limited by this provision is 
approximately $3.0 million.

Limitations on availability of funds for nuclear weapons dismantlement 
        (sec. 3124)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3121) that would 
provide that, of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 
this Act or otherwise made available for any of fiscal years 
2016 through 2020 for the National Nuclear Security 
Administration (NNSA), not more than $50.0 million may be 
obligated or expended in each such fiscal year to carry out 
nuclear weapons dismantlement and disposition activities. This 
section would also prohibit any funds authorized to be 
appropriated by this Act, or otherwise made available for any 
of fiscal years 2016 through 2020, to be obligated or expended 
to dismantle a nuclear weapon of the United States unless: (1) 
the nuclear weapon was retired on or before September 30, 2008; 
(2) the Administrator for Nuclear Security certifies that the 
components of the nuclear weapon are directly required for the 
purposes of a current life extension program; or (3) the 
President certifies that the nuclear weapon is being dismantled 
pursuant to a nuclear arms reduction treaty or similar 
international agreement that has entered into force after the 
date of enactment of this Act and was approved with the advice 
and consent of the Senate or by an Act of Congress. This 
section would also prohibit any funding authorized to be 
appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for any of 
fiscal years 2016 through 2020 from being used to dismantle or 
dispose of a W84 nuclear weapon.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
$50.0 million ceiling to fiscal year 2016 and prohibit the use 
of fiscal year 2016 funds for the dismantlement of the W84 
warhead. There is an exception for maintenance and surveillance 
for weapons safety and reliability.

Security Administration.
    The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 3132) 
amend section 3122(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) by striking the date 
of 2016 and inserting 2020. This section would also amend such 
subsection to clarify that, in the Secretary of Energy's annual 
assessment, the Secretary must (1) identify any highly-enriched 
uranium around the world that is obligated by the United States 
and (2) provide a list, by country and by site, of the 
separated plutonium around the world, identify such plutonium 
that is obligated by the United States, and provide an 
assessment of the vulnerability of such plutonium to theft or 
diversion.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would add the 
House provision to the Senate provision, expand the 
programmatic definitions of activities of the nuclear 
nonproliferation program that must be reported on and make 
technical and clarifying changes.

Plan for deactivation and decommissioning of nonoperational defense 
        nuclear facilities (sec. 3133)

Environmental Management for such transfer.

Assessment of emergency preparedness of defense nuclear facilities 
        (sec. 3134)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3116) that 
would require the Secretary of Energy to include in each award-
fee evaluation conducted of a management and operating contract 
for a Department of Energy defense nuclear facility in 2016, or 
any even-numbered year thereafter, an assessment of the 
adequacy of the emergency preparedness of that facility, 
including an assessment of the seniority level of employees and 
contractors of the Department of Energy that participate in 
emergency preparedness exercises at that facility.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 
recurring reports while focusing the assessment on the 
performance and participation of the management and operating 
contractor employees and not senior employees of the Department 
of Energy, since the laboratory award fee is based on 
performance of the contractor employees. We direct the 
Secretary of Energy to provide a report to the congressional 
defense committees no later than October 31, 2016 on the number 
and level of senior Department of Energy employees that 
participated in such exercises for fiscal year 2016.

Modifications to cost-benefit analyses for competition of management 
        and operating contracts (sec. 3135)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3114) that would 
amend section 3121 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for fiscal year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to extend the a 
reporting requirement through fiscal year 2019 and require that 
the report submitted by the Administrator for Nuclear Security 
must include a description of the factors considered and 
processes used by the Administrator to determine whether to 
compete or extend a contract to manage and operate a facility 
of the nuclear security enterprise, and whether and which 
activities at the facility should be covered under the 
management and operating contract.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
3122) that would amend section 3121 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to 
make technical corrections to increase the utility of reports 
on competition for management and operating contracts at 
facilities of the National Nuclear Security Administration and 
change the timing of the Government Accountability Office's 
review to assess whether estimated cost savings and other 
benefits are actually occurring as planned.
    The House recedes with an amendment that combines the two 
provisions, requires the Government Accountability Office to 
provide a briefing on their initial review 180 days after the 
required report submitted, and makes certain technical and 
conforming amendments.

Interagency review of applications for the transfer of United States 
        civil nuclear technology (sec. 3136)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3119) that would 
require that, prior to the approval by the Administrator of the 
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) of any part 810 
authorization (regarding the transfer of certain civil nuclear 
technology) for a covered country with a nuclear naval 
propulsion program, the Director of National Intelligence and 
the Chief of Naval Operations would have to jointly submit an 
assessment to the appropriate congressional committees on the 
risks of diversion of such technology and the likely 
consequences of its diversion to such foreign state's military 
nuclear program. This section would also require that, not less 
than 14 days prior to the approval of any part 810 
authorization for a covered country, the Administrator of the 
NNSA would have to certify to the appropriate congressional 
committees that there is sufficient diversion control and such 
transfer presents a minimal risk of diversion of such 
technology to a military program that would degrade the 
technical advantage of the United States. The provision further 
required that not later than June 1, 2016, and quinquennially 
thereafter, the Chief of Naval Operations shall determine the 
critical civil nuclear technologies of the United States and 
notify the appropriate congressional committees of this list of 
technologies. The provision also requires that not later than 
30 days after the date on which the Director of National 
Intelligence determines that there is credible intelligence 
that United States civil nuclear technology has been diverted 
to a foreign country not covered by an authorization under 
section 57b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as amended (Public 
Law 83-703, 42 U.S.C. 2077), including an agreement for 
cooperation made pursuant to section 123 of the Atomic Energy 
Act of 1954 as amended (Public Law 83-703, 42 U.S.C. 2153), the 
Director shall notify the appropriate congressional committees 
of such determination. The House provision also required that 
the Secretary of Energy shall annually notify the appropriate 
congressional committees that each covered foreign country is 
in compliance with its obligations under any authorization made 
pursuant to section 57b, including an agreement for cooperation 
made pursuant to section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act, as 
amended. In addition the provision prohibits the Secretary of 
Energy from making an authorization under section 57b of the 
Atomic Energy Act with respect to a covered foreign country if 
a foreign person of the covered foreign country has been 
sanctioned under the Iran, North Korea, and Syria 
Nonproliferation Act (Public Law 106-178; 50 U.S.C. 1701 note) 
during the 5-year period preceding the date of the transfer 
being sought unless the President certifies to the appropriate 
congressional committees that the covered foreign country is 
taking adequate measures to prevent, or is making significant 
progress in preventing, transfers or acquisitions covered by 
section 2(a) of the Iran, North Korea, and Syria 
Nonproliferation Act (Public Law 106-178; 50 U.S.C. 1701 note). 
The House provision defined a covered country as one that is a 
nuclear-weapon state, as defined by Article IX (3) of the 
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, signed at 
Washington, London, and Moscow on July 1, 1968, but does not 
include the United Kingdom or France.
    The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
that every 90 days, the Secretary of Energy shall submit to the 
appropriate congressional committees a report that includes a 
listing and description of the authorizations to transfer 
United States civil nuclear technology to a covered foreign 
country (as defined in this provision) issued under section 57b 
of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2077(b)) during the 
preceding 90 days and a statement of whether each agency 
required to be consulted under that section or pursuant to 
regulation objected or sought condition to each such 
authorization.
    The amendment also would require that not later than 90 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and every 5 
years thereafter, the Secretary of Energy would be required to, 
in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of 
Commerce, the Secretary of Defense, the Director of National 
Intelligence, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, determine 
the critical United States civil nuclear technologies that 
should be protected from diversion to a military nuclear 
program of a covered foreign country (a nuclear weapons state 
as defined by the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear 
Weapons other than the United Kingdom or France), including 
with respect to a naval propulsion or weapons program and 
notify the appropriate congressional committees with respect to 
the technologies covered by the determination. The amendment 
also would require that not later than 14 days before 
authorizing the transfer of a technology covered by such 
determination, the Secretary of Energy would be required to 
submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report 
that includes a notification of the intention of the Secretary 
to authorize the transfer of such technology and a statement of 
whether any agency required to be consulted under such section 
57b or pursuant to regulation objected to or required 
conditions to such authorization of transfer. The amendment 
includes a waiver of the 14 day notification for an imminent 
radiological emergency provided within 7 days the Secretary 
certifies such a hazard exists, the justification and the 
information required in the original notification.
    The amendment would also require the Secretary of Energy to 
promptly revise part 810 of title 10, Code of Federal 
Regulations, to ensure that the Director of National 
Intelligence (DNI) is consulted with respect to the views of 
the intelligence community with respect to each authorization 
issued under section 57b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 
U.S.C. 2077(b)) for the transfer of United States civil nuclear 
technology to a covered foreign country before the 
determination to approve or disapprove the request for the 
authorization, and that he is provided with an opportunity to 
present the views of the Director and the Intelligence 
Community on the national security risks of the transfer, if 
any. It is expected that as part of developing this 
consultation process the Secretary of Energy and the DNI shall 
enter into the necessary inter-agency agreements that ensure 
consultation with the Intelligence Community occurs but gives 
the DNI the flexibility to manage its ongoing workload, while 
ensuring timely reviews of authorizations, and provides for the 
possibility that the views of the Intelligence Community may 
not have changed from its initial assessment. The Secretary of 
Energy shall include the results of consultations conducted 
with the DNI, on behalf of the Intelligence Community, in each 
report describing an authorization and each notification with 
respect to an authorization involving a critical technology.
    The amendment would require the Secretary of Energy to 
annually submit to the appropriate congressional committees a 
report that includes an assessment of whether each covered 
foreign country is in compliance with its obligations under any 
authorization for the transfer of United States civil nuclear 
technology under section 57b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 
(42 U.S.C. 2077(b)) and with respect to any covered foreign 
country that is not in compliance with such obligations, a 
description of the efforts of the United States to bring the 
country into compliance with an evaluation of the result of 
such efforts, and an assessment of the options available to the 
Secretary as a result of the country not being in compliance. 
The report also requires an assessment of whether each end-user 
to which United States civil nuclear technology is transferred 
pursuant to an authorization under such section 57b is in 
compliance with the obligations of the end-user under that 
authorization and a description of any consequences for the 
end-user or the exporter of the technology if the end-user is 
not in compliance with such obligations.
    The amendment would further require that, concurrent with 
the submission to Congress of the budget for each fiscal year, 
the Secretary of Energy would be required to submit to the 
appropriate congressional committees a report on the activities 
of the Department of Energy associated with the review of 
applications for authorization under section 57b to transfer 
United States civil nuclear technology to any foreign country. 
The report would be required to include the number of 
applications for authorization under section 57b of the Atomic 
Energy Act to transfer United States civil nuclear technology 
to a foreign country submitted during the year preceding the 
submission of the report; the length of time each such 
application was under review; the number of such applications 
that were granted; and a description of efforts to streamline 
the review of such applications, taking into account the 
proliferation and diversion potential of end-users in the 
country to which United States civil nuclear technology would 
be transferred pursuant to such applications.
    The Director of National Intelligence would also be 
required to notify the Department of Energy and the appropriate 
congressional committees not later than 30 days after the date 
on which the Director determines there is credible intelligence 
that United States civil nuclear technology is being or has 
been diverted to a military program in a foreign country to 
which the transfer of the technology was authorized under 
section 57b or to a foreign country to which the transfer of 
the technology was not so authorized.
    The amendment would also require that not later than 60 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary 
of Energy shall issue guidance with respect to the use of 
authority of under section 234 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 
(42 U.S.C. 2282) to impose civil penalties, including fines and 
debarment, and to make referrals to the Attorney General for 
prosecution, for violations of the terms of authorizations for 
the transfer of United States civil nuclear technology issued 
under section 57b. We believe that given the extensive 
amendments made to section 57b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 
by section 302 of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Act of 1978 
(Public Law 95-242, 42 U.S.C. 2077), which were made after the 
enactment of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (Public Law 
93-438), that the Department of Energy should have 
justification to utilize section 234 of the Atomic Energy Act 
of 1954 as a means of civil enforcement.
    Finally, the amendment would require that not later than 
180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and 
annually thereafter, the President shall submit to the 
appropriate congressional committees a report describing the 
efforts of covered foreign countries to prevent the transfer of 
sensitive items, including efforts to improve the prevention of 
the transfer of such items; and assessing the adequacy of such 
efforts as defined by section 2(a) of the Iran, North Korea, 
and Syria Nonproliferation Act (Public Law 106- 178; 50 U.S.C. 
1701 note).
    We expect the Department of Energy shall take all 
precautions necessary in this section to protect proprietary 
information.

Governance and management of nuclear security enterprise (sec. 3137)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3133) that would 
require the Secretary of Energy and the Administrator for 
Nuclear Security to jointly establish a team of senior 
officials from the Department of Energy and the National 
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to develop and carry out 
an implementation plan to reform governance and management to 
improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the nuclear 
security enterprise. Additionally, it would require the 
Administrator to seek to enter into a joint agreement with the 
National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Public 
Administration to establish a panel of external, independent 
experts to evaluate the plan developed by the Department of 
Energy and NNSA and to evaluate the implementation of such 
plan.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
3123) that would require the Administrator of the National 
Nuclear Security Administration to enter into agreements with 
the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of 
Pubic Administration to assess implementation of 
recommendations of the Congressional Advisory Panel on the 
Governance of the Nuclear Security Enterprise that can be 
carried out without additional legislation. In addition to 
monitoring implementation, the agreement should specify that 
the two entities should determine whether the implementation 
was effective in addressing the problem it was intended to 
solve. The agreement shall utilize the procedures of the 
National Academies in reviewing and publishing the joint 
report.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment makes certain 
technical and conforming amendments, including changing the 
date of submission of the implementation plan to be March 31, 
2016, with a final report by the Implementation Assessment 
Panel to 2020.

Annual report on the number of full time equivalent employees and 
        contractor employees (sec. 3138)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3111) that would 
amend section 3241A of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2441a) to require that, by 
October 1, 2016, the total number of employees within the 
Office of the Administrator may not exceed 1,350. This section 
would also amend section 3241 of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2441) by striking ``600'' and 
inserting ``450'' as the number of employees allowed to be 
appointed under the authority provided by such section.
    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3119) that 
would that permits the Administrator of the National Nuclear 
Security Administration (NNSA) to hire above the statutory 
limit of 1,690 full time positions using up to 100 exempt 
employees hired under section 3241 of the National Nuclear 
Security Administration Act (50 United States Code section 
2441).
    The House bill further contains a provision (sec. 3112) 
that would amend section 3241A of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2441a) to specify that the total 
number of full-time equivalent employees working under a 
service support contract of the NNSA may not exceed the number 
that is 30 percent of the number of employees of the Office of 
the Administrator authorized under subsection (a)(1) of such 
section 3241A. The Administrator for Nuclear Security would be 
required to not exceed this total number of full-time 
equivalent contractor employees unless, during each fiscal year 
in which the Administrator exceeds such authorized number, the 
Administrator submits a report to the congressional defense 
committees justifying such excess.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike 
section 3111 of the House bill and modify section 3112 of the 
House bill to require with each budget submission the National 
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) provide a report that 
provides the number of full time equivalent employees under 
section 3241A of the NNSA Act (50 U.S.C. 2441a), the number of 
service support contracts and whether the contracts are funded 
with program funds, the number of full time equivalent 
employees under each contract and the number in each contract 
that have been employed for more than 2 years.

Development of strategy on risks to nonproliferation caused by additive 
        manufacturing (sec. 3139)

    The House bill (sec. 3145) contained a provision that would 
require the President to develop and pursue a strategy to 
address the risks to the goals and policies of the United 
States regarding nuclear nonproliferation caused by the 
increased use of additive manufacture technology (including 3D 
Printing). This section would require the President to brief 
the appropriate congressional committees on the development and 
execution of such strategy not later than March 31, 2016, and 
every 120 days thereafter until January 1, 2019. Finally, this 
section would highlight the importance of pursuing such 
strategy at the Nuclear Security Summit in Chicago in 2016.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Plutonium pit production capacity (sec. 3140)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3143) that would 
express the sense of Congress that the requirement to create a 
modern, responsive nuclear infrastructure that includes the 
capability and capacity to produce, at minimum, 50 to 80 pits 
per year, is a national security priority and delaying creation 
of this responsive infrastructure until the 2030s is an 
unacceptable risk to the national security of the United 
States. Additionally, it would require the Chairman of the 
Nuclear Weapons Council to provide a briefing to congressional 
defense committees by March 1, 2016, on the annual plutonium 
pit production capacity requirement of the nuclear security 
enterprise.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Assessments on nuclear proliferation risks and nuclear nonproliferation 
        opportunities (sec. 3141)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3134) that would 
require the Director of National Intelligence to submit a 
report to the appropriate congressional committees, by March 1 
of each year from 2016 to 2020, containing an assessment and 
prioritization of international nuclear proliferation risks and 
nuclear nonproliferation opportunities and an assessment of the 
effectiveness of various means and programs for addressing such 
risks and opportunities.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Analysis of alternatives for Mobile Guardian Transporter program (sec. 
        3142)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3144) that would 
require the Administrator for Nuclear Security to submit to the 
congressional defense committees the analysis of alternatives 
by the Administrator for the Mobile Guardian Transporter 
program within 60 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act. Additionally, it would also require the Secretary of 
Energy to include in the annual budget request submission, a 
separate, dedicated program element for the MGT program.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 
the requirement for an independent assessment and clarify that 
the submitted report must contain a full and comprehensive 
analysis of alternatives. We stress that the analysis of 
alternatives for the MGT program that is conducted and 
submitted to Congress should take into account all safety and 
security scenarios, as well as costs, benefits, and risks of 
various engineering and policy changes that could affect the 
program.

          Title XXXII--Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board


Authorization (sec. 3201)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3201) that would 
authorize funds for the Defense Nuclear Facilities Board for 
fiscal year 2016.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
3201).
    The House recedes.

Administration of Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (sec. 3202)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3202) that would 
amend section 311(c) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 
U.S.C. 2886(c)) to clarify that, in carrying out certain 
duties, the Chairman of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Board 
may not withhold from any member of the Board any information 
that is made available to the Chairman regarding the Board's 
functions, powers, and mission (including with respect to the 
management and evaluation of employees of the Board). The 
provision would also clarify that the Chairman of the Board, 
subject to the approval of the Board, may appoint and remove 
certain senior employees of the Board.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

                 Title XXXIV--Naval Petroleum Reserves


Authorization of Appropriations (sec. 3401)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3401) that would 
authorize $17.5 million for fiscal year 2016 for operation and 
maintenance of the Naval Petroleum Reserves.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

                  Title XXXV--Maritime Administration


                     Legislative Provisions Adopted


Authorization of the Maritime Administration (sec. 3501)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3501) that would 
authorize appropriations for the national security aspects of 
the Merchant Marine for fiscal year 2016.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
3505) that would authorize appropriations for the national 
security aspects of the Merchant Marine for fiscal years 2016 
and 2017.
    The Senate recedes with an amendment that would increase by 
$24.0 million to $210.0 million the amount authorized to be 
appropriated in subsection (5) for expenses to maintain and 
preserve a United States-flagged merchant marine to serve the 
national security needs of the United States under chapter 531 
of title 46, United States Code.

Sense of Congress regarding Maritime Security Fleet program (sec. 3502)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3502) that would 
express the sense of Congress that dedicated and enhanced 
support is necessary to stabilize and preserve the Maritime 
Security Fleet program.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Update of references to the Secretary of Transportation regarding 
        unemployment insurance and vessel operators (sec. 3503)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3503) that would 
update sections 3305 and 3306(n) of title 26, United States 
Code, to reflect the Maritime Administration's transfer from 
the Department of Commerce to the Department of Transportation 
that occurred in 1981.
    The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
3503).
    The Senate recedes.

Payment for maritime security fleet vessels (sec. 3504)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3505) that would 
increase by $24.0 million the amount authorized to be 
appropriated for expenses to maintain and preserve a United 
States-flagged merchant marine to serve the national security 
needs of the United States under chapter 531 of title 46, 
United States Code.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The Senate recedes.

Melville Hall of United States Merchant Marine Academy (sec. 3505)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3506) that would 
allow the Maritime Administrator to accept a gift from the U.S. 
Merchant Marine Academy Alumni Association and Foundation for 
the purpose of renovating Melville Hall on the campus of the 
U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
    The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
1087).
    The Senate recedes.

Cadet commitment agreements (sec. 3506)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3501) that 
would strengthen requirements for proper performance of reserve 
service obligations for U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) 
graduates by providing clarity that graduates are required to 
apply for a position in the reserves of an armed force, 
maintain a Transportation Worker Identification Credential, and 
maintain a U.S. Coast Guard approved medical certificate. This 
section also would change the reserve service obligations of 
USMMA graduates from 6 to 8 years to conform with current 
Department of Defense reserve requirements.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Student incentive payment agreements (sec. 3507)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3502) that 
would clarify the requirements for a graduate of the student 
incentive payment (SIP) program to perform service obligations 
and facilitate enforcement of the reserve duty component of 
their service obligation. It would assist in the federal 
government's recoupment of funds if SIP graduates fail to fully 
perform their reserve duty service obligation. This section 
also aligns current U.S. Coast Guard and Department of Defense 
(DOD) terminology to update references to licensing and the 
Strategic Sealift Officer Program, as well as bring the 
Maritime Administration's reserve service obligation 
requirement in line with DOD requirements for 8 years of 
reserve duty.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.

Short sea transportation defined (sec. 3508)

    The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3504) that 
would amend the definition of short sea transportation in 
section 55605 of title 46, United States Code.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted


Reliance on classification society certification for purposes of 
        eligibility for certificate of inspection

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3504) that would 
modify section 53102 of title 46, United States Code, and 
require the U.S. Coast Guard to implement certain class society 
certification standards.
    The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes.
    We note the continued need for Maritime Security Program 
(MSP) vessels to meet national defense sealift needs. Section 
53102(e)(3)(A) of title 46, United States Code, establishes a 
process for the U.S. Coast Guard to rely on classification 
societies to certify compliance for MSP vessels, both initially 
for reflag, and subsequently during renewal inspections, based 
solely on applicable international agreements, associated 
guidelines, and classification society rules. We encourage the 
Coast Guard to use that process to the greatest extent 
practicable. The Service should not set up unnecessary barriers 
to entry for vessels the Department of Defense has determined 
it needs to meet national defense sealift requirements.

                       DIVISION D--FUNDING TABLES


Authorization of amounts in funding tables (sec. 4001)

    The House bill contained a provision (sec. 4001) that would 
provide for the authorization of projects, programs, and 
activities in accordance with the tables in division D.
    The Senate bill contained an identical provision (sec. 
4001).
    The agreement includes this provision.

Clarification of applicability of undistributed reductions of certain 
        operation and maintenance funding among all operation and 
        maintenance funding (sec. 4002)

    The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 4002) that 
clarifies that the undistributed reductions in funding for 
operation and maintenance due to bulk fuel purchases and 
foreign currency fluctuations, as shown in table 4301, can be 
applied to all operation and maintenance funding, regardless if 
funding is available in table 4301 or 4302.
    The House bill contained no similar provision.
    The House recedes with an amendment that would limit 
reductions mentioned above to table 4301 and 4303.
