EXPLANATORY STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY MR. McKEON, CHAIRMAN OF THE
HOUSE COMMITTEE ON ARMED SERVICES REGARDING THE HOUSE AMENDMENT TO
THE SENATE AMENDMENT ON H.R. 3979, PROTECTING VOLUNTEER
FIREFIGHTERS AND EMERGENCY RESPONDERS ACT OF 2014

========================= END NOTE =========================

The following consists of the explanatory material to
accompany the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2015.
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.
4435, the House-passed version of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, are generally
referred to as ``the House bill.'' The provisions of S. 2410,
the Senate Committee on Armed Services committee-reported
version of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2015, are generally referred to as ``the Senate
committee-reported bill.'' Senate amendments included in the
agreements are identified by Senate amendment numbers. The
final form of the agreements reached during negotiations
between the House and the Senate are referred to as ``the
agreement.''
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 administration's 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 2015 was $577.1 billion. Of
this amount, $495.5 billion was requested for base Department
of Defense (DOD) programs, $63.7 billion was requested for
overseas contingency operations (OCO), and $17.9 billion was
requested for national security programs in the Department of
Energy (DOE) and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board
(DNFSB). The budget request incorporates the amendments
submitted to Congress on June 26, 2014 and November 10, 2014.
The bill authorizes $577.1 billion in fiscal year 2015,
including $495.9 billion for base DOD programs, $63.7 billion
for OCO, and $17.5 billion for national security programs in
the DOE and the DNFSB.
The two tables preceding the detailed program adjustments
in Division D of this joint explanatory statement summarize
the direct discretionary authorizations in the agreement and
the equivalent budget authority levels for fiscal year 2015
defense programs. The first table summarizes the agreement on
authorizations within the jurisdiction of the Armed Services
Committees. The second table details the budget authority
implication of the discretionary authorizations in the
agreement when accounting for national defense items that are
not in the jurisdiction of the Armed Services Committees.
Budgetary effects of this Act (sec. 4)
The Senate committee-reported bill 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.

DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATIONS

Title I--Procurement

BUDGET ITEMS

Navy enterprise information technology
The budget request included $87.2 million in Other
Procurement, Navy Line 161 for enterprise information
technology (IT).
The House bill would approve the budget request.
The Senate committee-reported bill would decrease that line
item by $15.0 million to reflect concerns about the continued
investment of funds into legacy IT infrastructure. The
agreement authorizes the budget request for this item.
We note that much of this funding is supporting
procurements related to the sustainment of legacy Navy IT
systems located outside the continental United States
(OCONUS). We understand that these procurements are necessary
to provide technical upgrades to sustain these networks as
the Navy determines how to converge all of its networks as
part of a future Naval Networking Environment. The investment
required by this funding would bring the OCONUS networks up
to a standard that could support a transition to the Next
Generation Enterprise Network contract in the future, which
would also align Navy networks in a way that would support
the enterprise-wide push to standardize capabilities in the
Joint Information Environment framework. We note that this
set of hardware and network systems transitions entail
additional cost, technical risk, and potentially operational
risk to deployed forces, which could have been avoided with
better planning for and more strategic funding of the
systems. We expect the Navy, as well as the Department of
Defense Chief Information Officer, to ensure that all
Department of Navy and Department of Defense enterprise IT
system efforts have robust planning related to and funding
dedicated for the maintenance and sustainment of legacy
systems, and to ensure that systems meet requirements and
reflect modern state-of-the-art IT systems, to the maximum
extent practicable and that this is documented in the
programs' acquisition strategy documentation. This should
apply to both Major Automated Information Systems (MAIS) and
non-MAIS efforts.
Ejection seat safety and reliability improvement program
The amended budget request included no funds for the
procurement of modernized and upgraded ejection seats for
Department of the Air Force fighter and bomber aircraft.
The House bill would increase the budget request by a total
of $10.5 million, of which $3.5 million is for initial
qualification of upgraded ejection seats in the Research,
Development, Test, and Evaluation, Air Force (RDT&E, AF)
account, and $7.0 million is for initial installation of
upgraded ejection seats in the Aircraft Procurement, Air
Force (APAF) account.
The Senate committee-reported bill approved the budget
request.
We recommend an additional increase of $6.0 million
ejection seat programs, including $3.5 million in RDT&E, AF,
and $2.5 million in APAF.
Section 146(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) required a report by
the Secretary of the Air Force on various aspects of

[[Page H8672]]

the health and safety risks associated with ejection seats.
The report confirmed that, with increased use of helmet-
mounted devices, the risks of death or serious injury
increases, and increases even more for lighter aircrew.
In response to a requirement to analyze initiatives to
decrease the risk of death or serious injury during an
ejection sequence, the report indicated that, although the
Air Force had spent $25.8 million for investments in safety
improvements for existing seats, the Air Force had stopped
short of final qualification testing.
The report also referred to an Air Force analysis of
alternatives (AoA) that the Air Force had conducted in 2010
that supported: ``(a) an improved ejection seat solution with
an expanded anthropometric envelope that would match the
current pilot population to increase safety; and (b) a design
that reduces aircraft life cycle costs.''
We believe that the Air Force should review and update, as
necessary, the 2010 AoA, and establish a program for
increasing the ejection safety and reliability of the Air
Force's fighter and bomber aircraft.

SUBTITLE A--AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS

Authorization of appropriations (sec. 101)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 101) authorizing
appropriations for fiscal year 2015 for procurement for the
Army, the Navy and Marine Corps, the Air Force, and
defense-wide activities, as specified in the funding table
in section 4101.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 101).
The agreement includes this provision.

SUBTITLE B--ARMY PROGRAMS

Plan on modernization of UH-60A aircraft of Army National
Guard (sec. 111)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 112) that would
require the Secretary of the Army to submit a report on plans
for the modernization of UH-60A helicopters in the Army
National Guard.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.

SUBTITLE C--NAVY PROGRAMS

Construction of San Antonio class amphibious ship (sec. 121)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 122) that would
authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into a contract
during fiscal year 2015 for the procurement of one San
Antonio-class amphibious ship using incremental funding.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 123) that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to
transfer funds available in the Shipbuilding and Conversion,
Navy (SCN), or other Navy procurement account for either or
both of the following purposes:
(1) Up to $650.0 million to conduct a refueling and complex
overhaul of the USS George Washington (CVN-73).
(2) Up to $650.0 million to build a San Antonio-class
amphibious ship.
The Senate provision would also authorize the Secretary of
the Navy to use incremental funding for a San Antonio-class
ship if additional funds are made available in fiscal year
2015.
The agreement includes the House provision. The agreement
also provides full funding for the fiscal year 2015
requirements for conducting a refueling and complex overhaul
of the USS George Washington (CVN-73), and provides
authorization for $800.0 million for the San Antonio-class
amphibious ship program elsewhere in this Act.
Limitation on availability of funds for mission modules for
Littoral Combat Ship (sec. 122)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 125) that would
prohibit the Secretary of the Navy from obligating any funds
for the procurement of mission modules for the Littoral
Combat Ship until the Secretary submits to the congressional
defense committees each of the following:
(1) The Milestone B program goals for cost, schedule, and
performance for each increment.
(2) Certification by the Director of Operational Test and
Evaluation (DOT&E) with respect to the total number for each
module type that is required to perform all necessary
operational testing.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would clarify that the Milestone B goals and
DOT&E certification would be with regard to each mission
module, rather than with each increment of capability for
each mission module.
Extension of limitation on availability of funds for Littoral
Combat Ship (sec. 123)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 126) that would
amend section 124(a) of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2014 to extend the prohibition on
spending in section 124 to include fiscal year 2015. Section
124 prevents using funds available in fiscal year 2014 for
construction or advanced procurement of materials for the
Littoral Combat Ships designated as LCS-25 or LCS-26 until
the Secretary of the Navy submits certain reports and
information to the congressional defense committees.

The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 121) would direct the Secretary of the Navy to take
whatever steps the Secretary deems appropriate and are
available to the Navy to ensure that the Navy retains the
option of buying more EA-18G aircraft, if further analysis of
whether to expand the airborne electronic attack (AEA) force
structure indicates the Navy should include more EA-18G
aircraft in carrier air wings. The provision would also
authorize the Navy, subject to appropriation, to use $75.0
million in funds authorized and appropriated in fiscal year
2014 for advance procurement funds of F/A-18 E/F aircraft for
the purpose of retaining such an option. The Senate
committee-reported bill also recommended an increase of $25.0
million in section 4101 for those purposes.
The House bill contained no similar provision. The House
bill recommended an increase of $450.0 million in section
4101 to purchase additional EA-18G aircraft.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would exclude language regarding the use of
prior year funds. We also include a recommendation for
additional funding for EA-18G aircraft elsewhere in this Act.

SUBTITLE D--AIR FORCE PROGRAMS

Prohibition on availability of funds for retirement of MQ-1
Predator aircraft (sec. 131)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 131) that would prohibit the Department of Defense from
using fiscal year 2015 funds to retire MQ-1 Predator
aircraft.

to retire A-10 aircraft. The provision would also require the
Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study
evaluating Air Force aircraft used, as of the date of the
study, to conduct close-air support missions.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 134) that would prohibit obligation or
expenditure of fiscal year 2015 funds to make significant
changes to manning levels with respect to any A-10 aircraft
squadrons, or to retire, prepare to retire, or place in
storage any A-10 aircraft.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would allow the Secretary of Defense to
authorize the Secretary of the Air Force to move up to 36 A-
10 in the active component primary aircraft inventory (PAI)
status to back up flying status, or back up aircraft
inventory (BAI) status, for the duration of fiscal year 2015,
30 days after certifying to the congressional defense
committees that he has:
(1) Received the results of an independent assessment by
the Director of the Office of Cost Assessment and Program
Evaluation of alternative ways to provide manpower to
maintain the Air Force fighter fleet and field Joint Strike
Fighter aircraft in fiscal year 2015; and
(2) Determined, after giving consideration to such
analysis, that moving active component aircraft in PAI status
to BAI status is needed to avoid:
(a) Significantly degrading the readiness of the Air Force
fighter fleet; or
(b) Significantly delaying the planned fielding of F-35
aircraft.
The agreement also includes the requirement that the
Comptroller General conduct the study of close-air support
missions as was included in the House provision.
If the Secretary of Defense makes the certification and
allows the Secretary of the Air Force to transfer A-10
aircraft from PAI to BAI status, we direct the Secretary of
Defense to reprogram any money freed up as a result of
reduced flying hours or reduced numbers of maintenance
personnel for the A-10 aircraft to other higher priority
Department of Defense programs.

The agreement does not include this provision.
We recognize the Joint Threat Emitter system provides vital
electronic warfare training for combat aircrews by simulating
the multiple threat scenarios of a hostile integrated air
defense system. We also note that the system of threat
emitters currently in use on U.S. military ranges has
deficiencies. These deficiencies place our forces at risk and
could jeopardize mission success. We believe the Department
of Defense and the services should consider prioritizing and
accelerating the acquisition and fielding of a modernized
system of threat emitters beyond the level requested in the
President's fiscal year 2015 budget.
Sense of Congress regarding the OCONUS basing of the F-35A
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 142) that would
express the sense of Congress, regarding the Outside the
Continental United States (OCONUS) basing of the F-35A, that
the Secretary of the Air Force should place emphasis on the
benefits derived from sites that:
(1) Are capable of hosting fighter-based bilateral and
multilateral training opportunities with international
partners;
(2) Have sufficient airspace and range capabilities and
capacity to meet the training requirements;
(3) Have existing facilities to support personnel,
operations, and logistics associated with the flying mission;
(4) Have limited encroachment that would adversely impact
training or operations; and
(5) Minimize the overall construction and operational
costs.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We are aware that the Air Force uses a deliberate strategic
basing process to make its basing decisions. In October 2013,
the Air Force announced the list of bases in the Pacific Air
Force command being considered to beddown the first F-35A
squadrons OCONUS. In August 2014, the Air Force announced
that the Secretary of the Air Force had chosen Eielson Air
Force Base, Alaska as the preferred alternative to host the
first F-35A squadrons in the Pacific Air Forces area of
responsibility.
We support the Air Force's strategic basing process and
believe that it provides a thorough, consistent, and
transparent process for basing decisions. When the Air Force
is evaluating candidate bases for new units and missions, we
believe that the Air Force should use criteria-based analysis
and military judgment at each location, to include
enterprise, mission, capacity, costs and environment. For
different circumstances, such as OCONUS basing, the Air Force
may also need to include additional criteria, such as
notification of a host nation partner.

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

BUDGET ITEMS

Strategic Capabilities Office
The budget request included $250.0 million in research,
development, test and evaluation, defense-wide for the
activities of the Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO).
The House bill would decrease funding for SCO by $30.0
million.
The Senate committee-reported bill would decrease funding
for SCO by $15.0 million.
The agreement reduces the budget request for SCO by $10.0
in PE 63289D8Z and $20.0 million in PE 64250D8Z.
We are aware of and supportive of the valuable work that
the SCO has been conducting. Though the efforts of SCO are
still in early stages and have only recently begun to produce
some tangible capabilities, we see promising concepts being
supported by investment. We do have concerns that SCO
projects are being scaled at a rate that is not commensurate
with the results that have been shown so far. We believe that
the SCO could benefit from senior level guidance and
oversight to ensure that promising ideas are more closely
tied to the needs, requirements and priorities of the
combatant commands. Additionally, for those programs in
Advanced Capability and Prototyping (6.4) budget activity, we
also believe the programs need to have an estimated cost to
field the capability, if the demonstration proves successful,
to support transition planning activities.
We also believe that senior level involvement is necessary
to help coordinate SCO efforts with other research and
development activities of the Department of Defense

[[Page H8675]]

(DOD), especially within the office of the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics and the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). In a
budget constrained environment, better coordination of SCO
efforts with the entire research and development enterprise,
including the various communities of interest established by
the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and
Engineering, will enhance SCO's effectiveness by leveraging
the funding and expertise of the entire of the research
enterprise.
Additionally, we understand that leadership within DOD is
looking at establishing a charter for, and changing the
organizational reporting structure of, the SCO. We believe
that DOD should examine a range of options to determine where
to position and how to resource the office. We fully expect
DOD to inform the congressional defense committees on any
significant changes to SCO before any changes are formalized.
High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System
The budget request included $386.9 million in PE 63766E for
network-centric warfare technology.
The House bill would approve the budget request.
The Senate committee-reported bill would decrease funding
for the High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System
(HELLADS) within that line item by $20.0 million.
The agreement authorizes the budget request for this item.
We note that the HELLADS has been funded by the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for over 10 years,
with over $200 million expended to date. We note that a
planned fiscal year 2015 technology demonstration will mark
the end of DARPA's investment in technical development. We
are concerned that the program still has no identified
commitments for a transition pathway to a service program for
further development or demonstration. At this point, we
believe that even a successful demonstration of HELLADS
capabilities in fiscal year 2015 is not likely to result in
any meaningful transition of the capability to a service
program. Therefore, we direct the Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Research and Engineering, acting through the
congressionally-mandated Joint Technology Office for High
Energy Lasers, to review current DARPA-service plans for
transition of the HELLADS capabilities and provide a report
on the plans, schedules, and identified resources to support
integration and transition into any service-led directed
energy efforts, no later than March 1, 2015.

SUBTITLE A--AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS

Authorization of appropriations (sec. 201)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 201) authorizing
appropriations for fiscal year 2015 for the use of the
Department of Defense for research, development, test, and
evaluation, as specified in the funding table in section
4201.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 201).
The agreement includes this provision.

SUBTITLE B--PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS, RESTRICTIONS, AND LIMITATIONS

Modification of authority for prizes for advanced technology
achievements (sec. 211)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 211) that would modify the authority of the Secretary
of Defense to hold prize and challenge competitions to spur
advanced technology achievements.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
In the recently announced ``Better Buying Power (BBP) 3.0''
initiative, Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology and Logistics Frank Kendall called for improved
communication between industry and the government in order to
increase the productivity of both government and industry
research efforts, including Independent Research and
Development performed by industry. We recognize the merits of
such a suggestion, as well as the challenges in developing an
effective communications process that is able to be adaptive
enough to protect intellectual property and data rights, and
protect both industry and government partners from bid
protests when informed interest shifts to informed
acquisition.
We note that prize authority has historically been used to
good effect at aligning the government's technology and
research goals with the resources, ambition, and innovation
of the private sector. From the Longitude Prize in 1714 that
resulted in improved ship navigation capabilities, to the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Grand Challenge in
2005 which resulted in demonstrating autonomous ground
vehicle navigation, government prize authority has
demonstrated the ability to bring together government and
industry funding, technology and expertise to produce
revolutionary new technological capabilities. While we do not
believe that such prizes can replace the kind of coordination
and dialogue sought in BBP 3.0, it is an important tool in
the toolbox for demonstrating the benefits of such a process
for both the government and industry.
Modification of Manufacturing Technology Program (sec. 212)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 212) that would clarify that the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics or his
designees should conduct oversight of the Joint Defense
Manufacturing Technology Panel, which coordinates
manufacturing technology and research programs for the
Department of Defense. Further, the provision reduces the
frequency of mandated updates to the Manufacturing Technology
program's strategic plan, to better synchronize this effort
with the Quadrennial Defense Review process.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
We intend that the next strategic plan be developed in
coordination with the Quadrennial Defense Review currently
scheduled for 2018.
Revision of requirement for acquisition programs to maintain
defense research facility records (sec. 213)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 222) that would
modify the requirements to subsection (b) of section 2364 of
title 10, United States Code, to eliminate the need for
acquisition programs to maintain a record of all issue papers
from a defense research facility related to said acquisition
programs.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 806).
The agreement includes the House provision with a technical
amendment.
Treatment by Department of Defense Test Resource Management
Center of significant modifications to test and
evaluation facilities and resources (sec. 214)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 214) that would direct the Secretary of the Army and
the Director of the Test Resource Management Center (TRMC) to
report on significant reductions or consolidations of major
test facilities.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes a provision which would modify the
authorities and duties of the Director, TRMC, to review and
report on significant expansion, divestment, consolidation or
curtailment of activities within the test and evaluation
facilities and resources of the Major Range and Test Facility
Base.
Revision to the service requirement under the Science,
Mathematics, and Research for Transformation defense
education program (sec. 215)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 221) that would
modify the options for the service obligation requirement
within the Science, Mathematics, and Research for
Transformation (SMART) program to also include employment
with a public or private sector entity or organization
outside the Department of Defense (DOD), if the Secretary of
Defense determines that the employment would provide a
benefit to the Department of Defense (DOD).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment to clarify that the Secretary should make
significant efforts to place SMART scholars into DOD
positions, prior to placement in non-DOD positions.
Limitation on availability of funds for armored multi-purpose
vehicle program (sec. 216)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 212) that would
limit the availability of funds for the armored multi-purpose
vehicle until the Secretary of the Army submits a report on
plans for the replacement of M113 armored personnel carriers
in formations outside of its combat brigades.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Limitation on availability of funds for Unmanned Carrier-
Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike system (sec.
217)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 213) prevent
obligation of any Navy research and development funds for the
Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike
(UCLASS) to award a contract for the air vehicle segment
until the Secretary of Defense submits to the congressional
defense committees a report that: (1) certifies that a review
of the requirements for air vehicle segments of the unmanned
carrier-launched surveillance and strike system is complete;
and (2) includes the results of such review.
The House report accompanying H.R. 4435 (H. Rept. 113-446)
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2015 indicated that the current UCLASS air vehicle segment
requirements would not address the emerging anti-access/area
denial (A2/AD) challenges to U.S. power projection that
originally motivated creation of what became the Navy UCLASS
program. In particular, the House report indicated that a
disproportionate emphasis in the requirements on unrefueled
endurance to enable continuous intelligence, surveillance,
and reconnaissance (ISR) support to the carrier strike group
(CSG), would result in an aircraft with too little
survivability and too small an internal weapons payload
capability.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision with an amendment
that would require the Navy to submit a report with the
budget for fiscal year 2017 that would:
(1) Identify the cost and performance trade-offs the Navy
made in arriving at the set of requirements for the UCLASS
air vehicle segment to include strike capability in an A2/AD
environment;
(2) Address the derivation of requirements for the overall
composition of the future carrier air wing, including any
contribution to

[[Page H8676]]

CSG ISR capability from non-carrier air wing forces, such as
the MQ-4C Triton;
(3) Specify how the Navy derived the plan for achieving the
best mix of capabilities for the CSG air wing to conduct
representative joint ISR-strike campaigns in the 2030
timeframe, including how the UCLASS, F-35C, EA-18G, and the
aircraft that is proposed to replace the F/A-18E/F (FA-XX)
would contribute to overall capability, including in an A2/AD
threat environment;
(4) Define the UCLASS program's acquisition strategy, and
provide the justification for any tailoring of that strategy
that deviates from that of a traditional program, consistent
with DoDI 5000.02 policy; and
(5) Establish a formal acquisition program cost and
schedule baseline, to allow the Navy to track unit costs, and
provide regular reports to Congress on cost, schedule and
performance progress.
We believe that the Secretary of Defense may submit a
report that certifies the current set of requirements and can
proceed with the current program, or could decide to revisit
the current UCLASS requirements and conduct another review of
costs and capabilities. The Navy may have made an appropriate
set of trade-offs between costs and capabilities in deriving
a set of requirements for UCLASS, but those trade-offs should
be evaluated in the context of the overall CSG capability,
not on the basis of individual capabilities of weapons
systems or an unconstrained budget.
Limitation on Availability of Funds for airborne
reconnaissance systems (sec. 218)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 214) that would
limit the obligation or expenditure of funds authorized by
this Act to not more than 25 percent for the imaging and
targeting support of airborne reconnaissance systems, until
the Secretary of the Air Force delivers a report to the
appropriate congressional committees. The elements of the
report would include a detailed plan regarding the use of
such funds for fiscal year 2015, and a strategic plan for the
funding of advanced airborne reconnaissance technologies
supporting manned and unmanned systems.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would modify the reporting requirement for the
use of funds for fiscal year 2015.
We believe the plan should identify the activities and
projects that the Air Force is investing in. We note the
restriction on funds only applies to the funds for the
imaging and targeting support project within Program Element
35206F. We believe the strategic plan should identify the
broad objectives that the project should be focused on
accomplishing over the course of the future year defense
program, and may be provided to the appropriate Congressional
committees in the form of a briefing.
Limitation on availability of funds for retirement of Joint
Surveillance and Target Attack Radar Systems aircraft
(sec. 219)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 213) that would prohibit the Air Force from retiring or
preparing to retire operational Joint Surveillance and Target
Attack Radar System (JSTARS) aircraft until the Secretary of
the Air Force submits a report detailing various aspects of
the Air Force's plan to replace the current JSTARS aircraft,
including an assessment of the cost and schedule of
developing and fielding a new aircraft and radar system
employing mature technology to replace the current JSTARS
aircraft.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would clarify that the assessment of cost and
schedule of developing and fielding a new aircraft and radar
system would be for a program that would deliver two
replacement aircraft to the JSTARS aircraft operating base by
fiscal year 2019.

SUBTITLE C--REPORTS

Reduction in frequency of reporting by Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Systems Engineering (sec. 221)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 222) that would reduce the reporting requirement
related to the systems engineering activities of the Office
of the Secretary of Defense.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Independent assessment of interagency biodefense research and
development (sec. 222)
A proposed amendment to the Senate committee-reported bill
(amendment number 3435) contained a provision that would
require a study of bureaucratic and policy barriers to the
efficient execution of interagency research and development
activities related to biodefense.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Briefing on modeling and simulation technological and
industrial base in support of requirements of Department
of Defense (sec. 223)
A proposed amendment to the Senate committee-reported bill
(amendment number 3848) contained a provision that would
direct an independent study of the United States modeling and
simulation industrial base.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would require a briefing to the Committees on
Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives
that updates the report on the Department of Defense Modeling
and Simulation (M&S) Technological and Industrial Base that
was submitted to Congress on March 11, 2011. This report was
required by section 1059 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84)
and describes current and planned efforts to support and
enhance the defense M&S technological and industrial base.

SUBTITLE D--OTHER MATTERS

Modification to requirement for contractor cost-sharing in
pilot program to include technology protection features
during research and development of certain defense
systems (sec. 231)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 223) that would
amend section 243(b) of the Ike Skelton National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383)
by striking ``at least one half of the cost of such
activities'' and inserting ``an appropriate share of the cost
of such activities, as determined by the Secretary.''
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 233).
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Pilot program on assignment to Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency of private sector personnel with critical
research and development expertise (sec. 232)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 231) that would authorize the Director of the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to carry out a
pilot program to employ up to 5 individuals employed by the
private sector on rotational assignments to lead research or
development projects of the Agency.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that authorizes the pilot program with additional
guidance to manage potential conflicts of interest that may
arise during execution.
Pilot program on enhancement of preparation of dependents of
members of Armed Forces for careers in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (sec. 233)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 222) that would authorize a pilot program to enhance
the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
educational opportunities for children of servicemembers.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment to clarify the types of students, teachers, and
classrooms on which the authorized activities may focus.
We believe there is a national security imperative to
support the development of a strong, vibrant STEM workforce
that can support Department of Defense (DOD) needs. A Council
on Foreign Relations report from March 2012 titled ``U.S.
Education Reform and National Security'', states the U.S.
``shortage of skilled human capital both inflates personnel
costs and strains the military's ability to develop and
deploy technologies that can deter sophisticated
adversaries.'' It further states, ``Many U.S. generals
caution that too many new enlistees cannot read training
manuals for technologically sophisticated equipment. A former
head of the Army's Training and Doctrine Command said that
the lack of fully qualified young people was ``an imminent
and menacing threat to our national security.''
DOD has a critical requirement to maintain an experienced,
high quality, technical workforce. To achieve this, it is
necessary to engage at the earliest stages of the STEM
pipeline. We note that some research indicates that achieving
certain math skills by the eighth grade is a critical
determinant for success in STEM fields. For that reason, the
committee believes that it is important for DOD to support K-
12 STEM education programs, as that supports an increased
pipeline of qualified individuals that may pursue university
degrees in STEM fields. Excellence in STEM fields is
important for the general economic health and competitiveness
of the nation, but due to the special security requirements
of DOD employees, we believe that DOD's STEM workforce needs
are especially acute and will only continue to grow in the
future.
Additionally, we note that DOD has a responsibility to
ensure proper education is available to military children,
and that it is in DOD's interest to promote education
programs that benefit both military children and our future
national security workforce. We believe that this provision's
focus on the communities support for the children of military
dependents also increases the likelihood that such STEM-
enabled students will go on to national security careers,
including military service.
Sense of Congress on helicopter health and usage monitoring
system of the Army (sec. 234)
A proposed amendment to the Senate committee-reported bill
(amendment number 3567) contained a provision that would
express the sense of the Senate on helicopter health and
usage monitoring systems.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
technical amendment.

[[Page H8677]]

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

Preliminary design review of presidential aircraft
recapitalization program
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 211) that would
require the Secretary of the Air Force to complete a
preliminary design review of the presidential aircraft
recapitalization (PAR) program prior to receiving a milestone
B approval from the Milestone Decision Authority.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We understand that the Air Force plans to develop the PAR
acquisition strategy, complete milestone B documentation,
continue market research, and develop the Systems
Requirements Document through fiscal year 2015. We expect the
Air Force to lockdown requirements prior to contract award to
ensure the technical integrity of the PAR program prior to
Milestone B and to minimize long-term program risks.
Report on thermal injury prevention
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1068) that would
require a report on prevention of thermal injuries to
occupants of military vehicles that result from over matching
ballistic threats.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We are interested to learn how the Army is aggressively
investigating innovative technologies to prevent or mitigate
the risks of thermal injury to occupants of combat and
tactical vehicles that can result from over matching
ballistic threats. Accordingly, we direct the Secretary of
the Army to provide, not later than March 31, 2015, a
briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate
and House of Representatives on the Army's related technology
research and development plans and investment strategies for
thermal injury prevention, as well as occupant centric
survivability systems in current and future combat and
tactical vehicles.

Title III--Operation and Maintenance

BUDGET ITEM

Special Operations Forces suicide prevention initiatives
The budget request included $67.0 million in Operation and
Maintenance, defense-wide, to support the United States
Special Operations Command (SOCOM) Preservation of the Force
and Families (POTFF) program.
The House bill would transfer $23.3 million to the Defense
Health Program's SOCOM Behavioral Health and Warrior Care
Management Program.
The Senate committee-reported bill would approve the budget
request.
The agreement includes a transfer of $14.8 million to the
SOCOM Behavioral Health and Warrior Care Management Program
for additional behavioral health programs and a transfer of
$4.0 million to the Defense Suicide Prevention Office to
implement recommendations that result from a review of
Department of Defense (DOD) efforts to prevent suicide among
members of Special Operations Forces (SOF) and their
families, as directed elsewhere in this Act. In addition, the
agreement includes the full requested amount of $7.2 million
for the Psychological Performance Program within POTFF.
We recognize the tremendous sacrifices made by the men and
women within SOF and their families after more than 12 years
of war. We note with concern that suicide rates for SOF have
continued to increase since calendar year 2010, and that for
the past 2 years, suicide rates within SOF have surpassed
those of the military services.
We support the efforts of SOCOM to improve training and
awareness related to suicide and plans to expand a pilot
peer-to-peer training program. We also support the many
service-provided and DOD-wide suicide prevention programs
that SOCOM has utilized. While DOD, SOCOM, and the services
have taken positive action to address SOF suicide rates, we
believe that more must be done to reinforce targeted suicide
prevention efforts in addition to holistic SOF resiliency
programs.

SUBTITLE A--AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS

Authorization of appropriations (sec. 301)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 301) authorizing
appropriations for fiscal year 2015 for the use of the Armed
Forces and other activities and agencies of the Department of
Defense for expenses, not otherwise provided for, for
operation and maintenance, as specified in the funding table
in section 4301.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 301).
The agreement includes the Senate provision.

SUBTITLE B--ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT

Elimination of fiscal year limitation on prohibition of
payment of fines and penalties from the Environmental
Restoration Account, Defense (sec. 311)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 311) that would
eliminate the fiscal year limitations on the prohibition of
paying fines and penalties from the Environmental Restoration
Account, defense, unless the fine or penalty arose out of an
activity funded by that account or was specifically
authorized by law.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Nothing in this provision should be construed to change the
Department of Defense's obligations to pay penalties or
fines, and to do so in a timely fashion.
Method of funding for cooperative agreements under the Sikes
Act (sec. 312)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 311) that would amend subsection (b) of section 103a of
the Sikes Act (section 670c-1 of title 16, United States
Code) to allow for lump sum payments for cooperative
agreements to cover the future costs of activities
provided for under the agreements.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the provision.
Report on prohibition of disposal of waste in open-air burn
pits (sec. 313)
The House bill included a provision (Sec. 312) that would
require the combatant commanders to submit a biannual
certification to the Committees on Armed Services of the
Senate and the House of Representatives that covered waste
under the jurisdiction of the commander has not been disposed
of in violation of the regulations set forth in section 317
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2010 (Public Law 111-84). This section also prescribes
additional details required in instances of noncompliance.
The Senate committee-reported bill did not contain a
similar provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment to direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a
report to the congressional defense committees regarding the
Department of Defense's (DOD) compliance with applicable
Public Law and DOD instructions regarding the disposal of
covered waste in burn pits. The provision also requires the
Comptroller General of the United States to provide an
assessment of the report submitted by the Secretary.
We note with concern that there are a number of instances
where compliance with the DOD instructions and public law,
with respect to the disposal of covered waste in burn pits,
has been called into question. It is our expectation that the
Secretary will use this report as an opportunity to address
any gaps and take required action, as necessary and
appropriate, to ensure education of and strict compliance
with the prohibitions on the disposal of covered waste in
burn pits.
Business case analysis of any plan to design, refurbish, or
construct a biofuel refinery (sec. 314)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 317) 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 committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that no later than 30 days before entering into a
contract for the planning, design, refurbishment, or
construction of a biofuels refinery, the Secretary of Defense
or service secretary concerned, shall submit to the
congressional defense committees a business case analysis
regarding their intended plan.
Environmental restoration at former Naval Air Station
Chincoteague, Virginia (sec. 315)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 320) that would
permit the Secretary of Defense to undertake an environmental
restoration project at Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 312).
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We note that the Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia includes
the Naval Aviation Ordnance Test Station, Virginia. We also
note that the Secretary of Defense may undertake this
environmental restoration project at Wallops Flight Facility,
Virginia, with regard to pollutants or contaminants that are
solely attributable to Department of Defense activities while
the property was under the administrative jurisdiction of the
Secretary of the Navy.
Limitation on availability of funds for procurement of drop-
in fuels (sec. 316)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 313) that would prohibit Department of Defense (DOD)
funds to be used for bulk purchases of drop-in fuel for
operational purposes, unless the cost of that drop-in fuel is
cost competitive with traditional fuel, subject to a national
security waiver.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment that would factor in the fully-burdened
cost of fuel.
We note that this provision adds a 30 day notice to the
congressional defense committees prior to the purchase of
bulk drop-in fuels for operational purposes, if the fully-
burdened delivered cost is 10 percent over the fully-burdened
market price of traditional fuels available for the same
purpose. We also note that large-scale demonstrations count
as operational purposes and are covered under this
limitation. We expect DOD to not use a unique federal subsidy
to buy or purchase down the cost of fuel so it falls below
the 10 percent threshold.

[[Page H8678]]

Decontamination of a portion of former bombardment area on
island of Culebra, Puerto Rico (sec. 317)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2818) that would
express the sense of Congress that the statutory prohibition
on environmental remediation on the island of Culebra, Puerto
Rico is a unique anomaly and would lift the statutory
restriction for environmental remediation for areas having
regular public access by amending section 204(c) of the
Military Construction Authorization Act of 1974 (Public Law
93-166).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 316) that would express the sense of Congress
that certain portions of the island of Culebra, Puerto Rico
should be available for safe public recreational use and
would lift the statutory restriction for environmental
remediation for certain identified areas by amending section
204(c) of the Military Construction Authorization Act of 1974
(Public Law 93-166), as well as modifying the restrictions
contained within the quitclaim deed.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Alternative fuel automobiles (sec. 318)
A proposed amendment to the Senate committee-reported bill
(3911) contained a provision that would create incentives for
the development of alternative dual-fuel vehicles.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with modifying
amendments.

SUBTITLE C--LOGISTICS AND SUSTAINMENT

Modification of quarterly readiness reporting requirement
(sec. 321)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 322) that would amend section 482 of title 10, United
States Code, to update and streamline the Quarterly Readiness
Report to Congress (QRRC).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We expect the timeliness and delivery of the QRRC to
Congress to improve significantly given the efficiencies
included in the bill. We note that the executive summaries
and narratives--which are derived from the massive data
inputs submitted by the military services, defense agencies,
and combatant commands--currently captured in the QRRC are
very helpful in the exercise of congressional oversight
responsibilities.
We strongly urge the Department of Defense (DOD) to move
the information captured in Supplement Two of the QRRC to
Annex B in order to avoid duplication and maximize
efficiency. We also strongly urge DOD to remove Supplement
One from future QRRCs as the information therein is readily
available in the public domain.
Additional requirement for strategic policy on prepositioning
of materiel and equipment (sec. 322)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 321) that would
amend the strategic policy on prepositioned materiel and
equipment required by section 2229(a) of title 10, United
States Code, to ensure newly established crisis response
elements are considered when developing goals, assessing
challenges, and synchronizing requirements.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Elimination of authority of Secretary of the Army to abolish
arsenals (sec. 323)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 323) that would amend section 4532 of title 10, United
States Code, the Arsenal Act, and eliminate the ability of
the Secretary of the Army to abolish any U.S. arsenal
considered to be unnecessary.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would eliminate the ability of the Secretary
of the Army to abolish any U.S. arsenal considered to be
unnecessary.
We note that it shall be the goal of the Secretary of the
Army, in managing the workload of the arsenals, to maintain
critical capabilities and ensure cost efficiency and
technical competence in peacetime, while preserving the
ability to provide an effective and timely response to
mobilizations, national defense contingency situations, and
other emergent requirements.
We also note that the critical capabilities needed by the
Army are currently reflected in the Report to Congress on
Critical Manufacturing Capabilities and Capacities dated
August 2013. We recognize that they may change over time.
Modification of annual reporting requirement related to
prepositioning of materiel and equipment (sec. 324)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 322) that would
modify the yearly reporting requirement in section 321 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014
(Public Law 113-66) to continue through 2017, for a total of
four reports over 4 years.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 321) that would amend section 2229(cc) of
title 10, United States Code to sunset after 3 years the
Comptroller General of the United States' annual review of
the Department of Defense's progress in implementing its
strategic policy and plan for its prepositioned stocks.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.

SUBTITLE D--REPORTS

Repeal of annual report on Department of Defense operation
and financial support for military museums (sec. 331)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 331) that would
repeal section 489 of title 10, United States Code, which
requires the Secretary of Defense to submit annually to
Congress a report on Department of Defense operation and
financial support for military museums.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 331).
The agreement includes this provision.
Army assessment of regionally aligned forces (sec. 332)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 333) that would
require the Secretary of the Army to submit a report on the
activities, lessons learned, and future plans for regionally
aligned forces.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would clarify the required elements of the
report.

SUBTITLE E--LIMITATIONS AND EXTENSIONS OF AUTHORITY

Limitation on authority to enter into a contract for the
sustainment, maintenance, repair, or overhaul of the F117
engine (sec. 341)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 341) that would
prevent the Secretary of the Air Force from entering into a
subsequent contract for the sustainment, maintenance, repair,
and overhaul of the F117 engine until the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics certifies
to the congressional defense committees that the Secretary of
the Air Force has structured the contract in such a way that
provides the Secretary required insight into all aspects of
F117 component and subcomponent historical usage, cost,
service-life, and supply chain management data sufficient to
determine that the Secretary is paying a fair and reasonable
price for F117 sustainment as compared to the PW2000
commercial-derivative sustainment price in the private
sector. This provision would also allow the Secretary to
waive this limitation if the Secretary determines such waiver
is in the interests of national security.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision with an amendment
that would modify the basis upon which the Under Secretary
would certify that the Secretary of the Air Force has
obtained data sufficient to determine that the Secretary of
the Air Force is paying a fair and reasonable price for F117
sustainment, maintenance, repair, or overhaul as compared to
the PW2000 commercial-derivative engine sustainment price for
sustainment, maintenance, repair, or overhaul in the private
sector.
Limitation on establishment of regional Special Operations
Forces Coordination Centers (sec. 342)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 342) that would prohibit the obligation or expenditure
of funds authorized for fiscal year 2015 to establish
Regional Special Operations Forces Coordination Centers
(RSCC) by U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
We note that the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) included a similar
prohibition and required the Secretary of Defense, in
coordination with the Secretary of State, to submit a report
on the purpose, cost, and the authorities necessary for the
establishment of RSCCs. While the required report was
submitted on April 16, 2014, it left a number of questions
unanswered related to the long-term funding required to
support RSCCs in each geographic combatant command (GCC); the
relative funding that would be provided by SOCOM, the GCCs,
and the host nation or other participating nations; and
coordination with other engagement activities conducted by
the GCCs and the Department of State. Additionally, the
report states that ``[p]roviding confirmed and sustained out-
year support is critical to realizing the full potential of
an RSCC.'' However, the report also identifies additional
legislative authorities that would need to be addressed for
such ``confirmed and sustained'' support to occur while
indicating ``there are currently no plans to seek these
additional authorities.''
We believe issues related to funding and authorities need
to be resolved before RSCCs are established. We also believe
that SOCOM should focus its efforts and resources on
supporting regional special operations engagement activities
that are hosted in and led by partner nations. For example,
we understand that Colombia is working to establish the
Centro Regional de Estudios Avanzados de Seguridad (CREAS),
that will, among other things, bring together regional
special operations forces for educational, training, and
other events. We note that the provision described above
would not prohibit support to host-nation established
regional special operations coordination activities, like
CREAS, provided they are consistent with broader military-to-
military objectives and coordinated with the Department of
State and relevant country teams.

[[Page H8679]]

Limitation on transfer of MC-12 aircraft to United States
Special Operations Command (sec. 343)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 341) that would prohibit the transfer of MC-12 aircraft
from the Air Force to U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM)
for manned intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance
until the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special
Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict, in coordination with
the Commander, SOCOM, provides the congressional defense
committees with an analysis and justification for such a
transfer.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We note that elsewhere in this Act the Department of
Defense is provided the authority to use the Counterterrorism
Partnership Fund (CTPF) to enhance counterterrorism
activities undertaken by the U.S. Armed Forces, including
government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO) capabilities. We
believe that the CTPF would be an appropriate source of
funding to support additional GOCO operation of MC-12
aircraft in direct support of the intelligence, surveillance,
and reconnaissance requirements of U.S. Special Operations
Forces.
Further, we note that the budget request included funding
in Operation and Maintenance, defense-wide and Procurement,
defense-wide to support up to 13 aircraft to be flown by the
Air National Guard in support of SOCOM aviation foreign
internal defense and intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance missions. We note that the limitation included
in this provision and the reduction in funding for MC-12
modifications contained elsewhere in the bill do not apply to
up to 13 aircraft to be flown by the Air National Guard in
support of SOCOM.

SUBTITLE F--OTHER MATTERS

Clarification of authority relating to provision of
installation-support services through intergovernmental
support agreements (sec. 351)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 351) that would
transfer and redesignate section 2336 of title 10, United
States Code, to chapter 159 of such title. This section would
also define an intergovernmental support agreement and
provide other technical changes.
A proposed amendment to the Senate committee-reported bill
(amendment number 3831) contained a similar provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would make clear that the secretary concerned
may enter into an intergovernmental support agreement
notwithstanding any other provision of law governing the
award of federal government contracts for goods and services
and that any contract awarded by the Federal Government or a
state or local government for installation-support services
under an intergovernmental support agreement must be awarded
on a competitive basis.
Management of conventional ammunition inventory (sec. 352)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 353) that would
designate an authoritative database on conventional
ammunition and broaden the existing military service annual
reporting requirements on conventional ammunition.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1066) that would require the Comptroller
General of the United States to provide a briefing to the
congressional defense committees on the management of the
conventional ammunition demilitarization stockpile of the
Department of Defense (DOD) no later than April 30, 2015.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would combine the two provisions.
We note that the preferred authoritative source of data for
tracking conventional ammunition inventories across DOD is
the National Level Ammunition Capability (NLAC). We also
expect DOD to issue guidance that ensures NLAC collects and
is responsible for disseminating accurate data in cooperation
with other service ammunition systems.

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

Increase in funding for civil military programs
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 302) that would
increase funding for civil military programs by $55.0 million
over the budget request.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Exclusions from definition of `chemical substance' under
Toxic Substances Control Act and report on lead
ammunition
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 313) that would
amend section 3(2)(B)(v) of the Toxic Substances Control Act
(15 U.S.C. 2602(2)(B)(v)) and require a report on costs
related to non-lead alternatives for small arms.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Exemption of Department of Defense from alternative fuel
procurement requirement
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 314) that would
amend section 526 of the Energy Independence and Security Act
of 2007 (P.L. 110-140) to exempt the Department of Defense
from the requirements related to contracts for alternative or
synthetic fuel in that section.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include the House provision.
Study on implementation of requirements for consideration of
fuel logistics support requirements in planning,
requirements development, and acquisition processes
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 314) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
submit a report to the congressional defense committees no
later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act, on the
implementation of section 332 of the Duncan Hunter National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (P.L. 110-
417).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include the Senate provision.
We direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to
the congressional defense committees, no later than 180 days
after the enactment of this Act, regarding how the Department
of Defense (DOD) is considering the operational impact of
energy logistics through energy supportability analysis,
including but not limited to those factors in section 332 of
the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2009 (P.L. 110-417).
We note that the report shall describe actions to date to
consider energy logistics support in the planning,
requirements development, and acquisition processes,
including the following elements: (1) A description of the
process DOD is using to ensure energy supportability has been
analyzed and considered during the requirements development
and acquisition process; (2) An assessment of how well the
Services are implementing the energy supportability analysis;
(3) An assessment of how well the Services have incorporated
energy into their planning processes; (4) An assessment of
the extent to which the energy security requirements of DOD
are enhanced by incorporation of section 332 in the
requirements and acquisition processes; and (5)
recommendations for improvements to section 332 that would
enhance energy security and capability.
Comptroller General study of Department of Defense research
and development projects and investments to increase
energy security and meet energy goals requirements
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 315) that would direct the Comptroller General of the
United States to conduct a review of Department of Defense
(DOD) research and development projects and investments to
increase energy security and meet renewable energy goals.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include the provision.
We direct the Comptroller General to conduct a review of
the current DOD Annual Energy Management Report. At a
minimum, the review shall identify key gaps and shortfalls,
if any, in the report. The review shall also include a
determination of how the DOD has determined the costs and
benefits of a sample of five renewable energy projects per
Service where the (1) generating capacity of the projects is
over one megawatt; (2) projected life cycle costs of the
projects as compared to power generation from conventional
sources; and (3) ensured energy security at energy-remote
installations in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The term ``energy-remote military installations'' means
military installations not connected to an extensive
electrical grid. The Comptroller General shall report to the
congressional defense committees no later than one year after
enactment of this Act.
Congressional notice of bulk purchase of alternative fuels
for operational use
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 315) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to notify the congressional
defense committees 60 days before the bulk purchase of
alternative fuels intended for operational use.

provision.
The agreement does not include the House provision.
Limitation on procurement of biofuels
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 316) that would
limit the Department of Defense's ability to purchase or
produce biofuels until the earlier of either the date on
which the Budget Control Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-25) is no
longer in effect, or the date on which the cost of biofuel is
equal to the cost of conventional fuels. This section would
provide an exception for biofuel test and certification and
research and development.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include the House provision.
Off-installation Department of Defense natural resources
projects compliance with integrated natural resource
management plans
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 318) that would
amend the Sikes Act (section 670c-1 of title 16, United
States Code) to require that funds for the maintenance and
improvement of natural resources located off of

[[Page H8680]]

a military installation or State-owned National Guard
installation only be used pursuant to an approved integrated
natural resources management plan.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Recommendation on Air Force energy conservation measures
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 319) that would
recommend the Secretary of the Air Force take action on
energy conservation measures.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the Air Force has undertaken a number of
initiatives aimed at improving installation energy
efficiency. For example, the Air Force has used the Energy
Conservation Investment Program, Energy Savings Performance
Contracts, and technologies developed through Installation
Energy Test Bed to help meet their facility energy goals and
mandates. We encourage the Air Force to continue to make
cost-effective investments that enhance combat capability and
demonstrate a return on investment.
Prohibition on use of funds to implement certain climate
change assessments and reports
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 320A) that would
prohibit funds authorized by the fiscal year 2015 National
Defense Authorization Act to be used to implement the United
States Global Change Research Program National Climate
Assessment, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's
Fifth Assessment Report, the United Nation's Agenda 21
sustainable development plan, or the May 2013 Technical
Update of the Social Cost of Carbon for Regulatory Impact
Analysis Under Executive Order No. 12866.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Report on enduring requirements and activities currently
funded through amounts authorized to be appropriated for
Overseas Contingency Operations
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 332) that would
require a report on enduring requirements and activities
currently funded through amounts authorized to be
appropriated for Overseas Contingency Operations.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Report on impacts of funding reductions on military readiness
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 334) that would
require the Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to report to
the congressional defense committees the readiness and cost
impacts of the reductions in operation and maintenance
funding.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include the House provision.
We direct the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to
report or present a briefing to the congressional defense
committees no later than 60 days after the date of enactment
of this Act, on the readiness and cost impacts, both
immediate and long-term, for the military services, the
Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, and the Defense Agencies, of the reductions in funding
required in section 4301 of this Act. The report shall
include, but isn't limited to, reductions in contracts for
other services, impacts to training and operations, contracts
for facility sustainment, restoration, and modernization,
base operations, and any other mission execution and
effectiveness concerns.
Limitation on furlough of certain working-capital fund
employees
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 342) that would:
limit the non-disciplinary furlough of working-capital fund
(WCF) employees as long as funds are available to pay for the
work performed; require 45 days advance congressional
notification of furloughs; and require Secretarial
certification that workload will not be transferred to any
other sector of the workforce.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We remain concerned about the negative effect furloughs of
WCF employees have on military readiness. The furlough of WCF
employees when monies and workload are available only delays
delivery times and raises rates, costing the taxpayer and
reducing military readiness. We understand that the
Department of Defense (DOD) faced budget cuts of $37.0
billion in 2013 due to sequestration, and that as part of its
response, it furloughed all civilian employees. These
furloughs may have increased costs over the longer-term and
caused schedule delays, which negatively affected readiness.
Therefore, we urge the Secretary of Defense to consider both
the short- and long-term readiness impacts of these furloughs
in making management decisions concerning the DOD workforce.
Finally, we expect the Secretary to manage future budgets
carefully, and to weigh all competing variables when making
workforce decisions.
Revised policy on ground combat and camouflage utility
uniforms
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 352) that would amend section 352 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (P.L. 113-66)
that established a policy that the Secretary of Defense shall
eliminate the development and fielding of Armed Forces-
specific combat and camouflage utility uniforms and families
of uniforms for specific combat environments to be used by
all members of the Armed Forces.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include the Senate provision.
We note that the guidance for the military services and
combatant commands required by section 351 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (P.L. 113-66)
to implement this policy is late and has not yet been
delivered. We also note that the implementation plan is also
late and necessary to ensure proper implementation of the
Department of Defense's guidance to establish and publish
joint combat uniform standards and performance criteria.
Sense of Congress on access to training ranges within United
States Pacific Command area of responsibility
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 352) that would
express the sense of Congress regarding access to training
ranges within U.S. Pacific Command's (PACOM) area of
responsibility (AOR).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include the provision.
We note that access to military training ranges is an
essential component of military readiness and that such
access is critical to maintaining the technical and
operational superiority of the Armed Forces. The 2014
Quadrennial Defense Review states that United States forces
in the Asia-Pacific region ``will resume regular bilateral
and multilateral training exercises, pursue increased
training opportunities to improve capabilities and capacity
of partner nations, as well as support humanitarian, disaster
relief, counterterrorism, and other operations that
contribute to the stability of the region.'' While training
ranges exist within PACOM's AOR, we note that the tyranny of
distance in the Asia-Pacific region presents a number of
challenges, including the transportation of equipment and
personnel to the various training ranges. We believe the
Department of Defense should take appropriate action to
ensure that members of the Armed Forces continue to have
reliable access to military training ranges and take
appropriate steps to improve accessibility to military
training areas within PACOM's AOR.
Southern sea otter military readiness areas
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 353) that would have created southern sea otter
military readiness areas and repealed Public Law 99-625 (16
U.S.C. 1536 note).
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.

the authority contained in section 1251 of title 10, United
States Code, to defer the mandatory retirement age of

concerned.

(sec. 545(d)) that would include in the 8-day incident report

suspect and the command or unit of the victim, and an
assessment of whether another command climate assessment
should be conducted.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We believe that it is good practice to review command
climate surveys of the units of the victim and of the suspect
whenever there is an unrestricted report of sexual assault.
The survey of the unit of the victim should be reviewed to
ensure that the command climate is conducive to caring for
the victim, and the climate of the unit of the suspect should

contributed to the alleged sexual assault.

soldiers of the 333rd Field Artillery Battalion of the United
States Army who were massacred in Wereth, Belgium, during the
Battle of the Bulge on December 17, 1944.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar

the Armed Forces after making an unrestricted report of
sexual assault; (2) determine the circumstances of and

instructions, regulations, directives, and policies.

Title VI--Compensation and Other Personnel Benefits

subtitle a--pay and allowances

No fiscal year 2015 increase in basic pay for general and
flag officers (sec. 601)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 602) 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 Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 601(c)).
The agreement includes the House provision with a technical
amendment.
Extension of authority to provide temporary increase in rates
of basic allowance for housing under certain
circumstances (sec. 602)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 601) that would
extend for 1 year the authority of the Secretary of Defense
to temporarily increase the rate of basic allowance for
housing in areas impacted by natural disasters or
experiencing a sudden influx of personnel.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 604).
The agreement includes this provision.
Inclusion of Chief of the National Guard Bureau and Senior
Enlisted Advisor to the Chief of the National Guard
Bureau among senior members of the Armed Forces for
purposes of pay and allowances (sec. 603)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 602) that would provide pay parity for the Chief of the
National Guard Bureau with the other members of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. The provision would also provide pay parity
for the senior enlisted advisor to the Chief of the National
Guard Bureau with the senior enlisted advisors of the Armed
Forces. The changes made by this provision would be
prospective to the date of enactment of this Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Modification of computation of basic allowance for housing
inside the United States (sec. 604)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 603) that would amend section 403(b) of title 37,
United States Code, to revise the method by which the monthly
amount of the basic allowance for housing (BAH) is determined
by authorizing the Secretary of Defense to reduce the monthly
amount by up to 5 percent of the national average for housing
for a given pay grade and dependency status.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would authorize the Secretary to reduce the
monthly amount of BAH by up to 1 percent of the national
average for housing for a given pay grade and dependency
status. Servicemembers would not see any reduction in their
BAH until they undergo a permanent change of duty station.
This provision would not apply to veterans benefits paid
under title 38, United States Code. This provision would
require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to pay the
appropriate veterans benefits under title 38, United States
Code, as the Secretary would otherwise have issued those
benefits without regard to changes made to the BAH under this
section.
We note that while the Department of Defense (DOD)
legislative proposal included proposed changes to BAH that
would have been implemented over the next 3 years, this
agreement includes those changes to BAH that the committees
understand would have been implemented by DOD in 2015. By
adopting changes to BAH beginning in the first year of the
proposal, the agreement preserves the option for Congress to
achieve the full savings requested by DOD.
This approach does not constitute a rejection of the
administration proposal, which was endorsed by the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. Rather, consideration of further changes to
BAH in fiscal years 2016, 2017, and beyond is deferred until
after the committees receive the report of the Military
Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission, which
is due in February 2015. The two committees commit to
consider proposed changes to BAH that are included in the
fiscal year 2016 budget request as part of the consideration
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2016.
We note that if sequestration-level budgets remain in
effect for fiscal year 2016 and beyond, DOD will need to make
painful cuts and achieve substantial savings across its
entire budget in order to avoid an unacceptable reduction in
readiness of the Armed Forces of the United States. The
Chiefs have urged us to take all action necessary, including
compensation adjustments, to avoid such readiness impacts.
The Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the
House of Representatives intend to work with the Committees
on Veterans' Affairs of the Senate and the House of
Representatives next year in an effort to harmonize BAH rates
paid by the Department of Defense and by the Department of
Veterans' Affairs.

also extend for 1 year the authority to pay hazardous duty
pay, assignment or special duty pay, skill incentive pay or
proficiency bonus, and retention incentives for members

priority units.

reported bill.

conversion to military occupational specialty to ease
personnel shortage, the incentive bonus for transfer between
armed forces, and the accession bonus for officer candidates.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 615).

transitional compensation for dependents of certain
members separated for dependent abuse (sec. 621)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 545) that would
amend section 1059 of title 10, United States Code, to
clarify that the date on which a dependent child's status is
determined for the purposes of transitional compensation
under that section, in the case of a member being
administratively separated, is the date on which the
separation action is commenced. This aligns the dependent
status determination with the date on which transitional
compensation payments begin under that section in these
cases.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 624).
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Modification of determination of retired pay base for
officers retired in general and flag officer grades (sec.
622)

for members of the Armed Forces under the age of 62 under
the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 who first become
members prior to January 1, 2016 (sec. 623)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 621) that would amend subparagraph (G) of section
1401a(b)(4) of title 10, United States Code, to exempt those
who first join military service prior to January 1, 2016,
from the reduced cost of living adjustment (COLA) applicable
to military retired pay made by section 403 of the Bipartisan
Budget Act of 2013 (Public Law 113-67), as amended by section
2 of Public Law 113-82. Under current law, this reduced COLA
is inapplicable to members who first join prior to January 1,
2014.

amendment.
Survivor Benefit Plan annuities for special needs trusts

created under subparagraph (A) or (C) of section 1396p(d)(4)

servicemember may receive reserve retired pay may be
accumulated between 2 consecutive fiscal years, effective
after the date of enactment of this Act.

BENEFITS AND OPERATIONS

The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 631) that would amend section 2484 of title 10, United

without using full and open competition procurement

amend section 2492 of title 10, United States Code, to
provide the Department of Defense (DOD) authority to provide
or obtain food services beneficial to the efficient
management and operation of the dining facilities on military
installations offering food services to servicemembers.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
This change to section 2942 of title 10 and the
implementation of the food transformation program should not
result in the loss of employment pursuant to the Javits-
Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501 et seq.).
However, we are concerned with the lack of regulatory
guidance on the application of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act
(41 U.S.C. 8501 et seq.) and Randolph-Sheppard Act (20 U.S.C.
107 et seq.) to military dining facilities. We previously
sought to resolve this long-standing issue by requiring a
Joint Policy Statement in section 848 of Public Law 109-
163 and enacting a permanent ``no-poaching'' provision in
section 856 of Public Law 109-364. However, without
complementary regulations to implement the Joint Policy
Statement, confusion remains on when to apply the two
acts, particularly with regard to new contracts that are
not covered by section 856 of Public Law 109-364.
Pursuant to the Joint Policy Statement, the Randolph-
Sheppard Act applies to contracts for the operation of a
military dining facility, or full food services, and the
Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act applies to contracts and subcontracts
for dining support services, or dining facility attendant
services, for the operation of a military dining facility.
Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of
this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall prescribe
implementing regulations for the application of the two acts
to military dining facilities. Such regulations shall
implement the Joint Policy Statement and specifically address
DOD contracts that are not covered by section 856 of Public
Law 109-364.
Competitive pricing of legal consumer tobacco products sold
in Department of Defense retail stores (sec. 633)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 633) that would
prohibit the Secretary of Defense and the service secretaries

of Defense vessel at sea.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar

Title VII--Health Care Provisions

SUBTITLE A--TRICARE AND OTHER HEALTH CARE BENEFITS

Mental health assessments for members of the Armed Forces
(sec. 701)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 701) that would
amend section 1074m of title 10, United States Code, to
require the Secretary of Defense to provide person-to-person
mental health screenings once during each 180-day period in
which a servicemember is deployed.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 701) that would require the Secretary to provide a
person-to-person mental health assessment for Active Duty and
Selected Reserve members each year. The Secretary may provide
such assessments in conjunction with annual periodic health
assessments or pre- or post-deployment health assessments. In
addition, the provision would require the Secretary to submit
an annual report on the tools and processes used to provide
the assessments.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would require the Secretary to provide a
person-to-person mental health assessment for Active Duty and
Selected Reserve members each year (such assessments may be
provided in conjunction with annual periodic health
assessments or pre- or post-deployment health assessments)
and to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of
the Senate and the House of Representatives on the tools and
processes used to provide the assessments. The amendment
would also require the Secretary, through 2018, to provide
person-to-person mental health screenings once during each
180-day period in which a member is deployed.
Modifications of cost-sharing and other requirements for the
TRICARE Pharmacy Benefits Program (sec. 702)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 702) that would amend section 1074g of title 10, United
States Code, to modify the TRICARE pharmacy benefits program
by specifying that non-formulary prescriptions would be
available through the national mail-order pharmacy program,
establishing prescription copayments from 2015 through 2024,
and requiring that non-generic prescription maintenance
medications be refilled through military treatment facility
pharmacies or the national mail-order pharmacy program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would make the provision specifying that non-
formulary prescriptions would be available through the
national mail-order pharmacy program and the provision
requiring that non-generic prescription maintenance
medications be refilled through military treatment facility
pharmacies or the national mail-order pharmacy program
beginning on October 1, 2015. The agreement also modifies
prescription copayments beginning in 2015.
We note that while the Department of Defense (DOD)
legislative proposal included proposed changes to the TRICARE
pharmaceutical co-pays for fiscal years 2015 through 2024,
this agreement includes changes beginning in fiscal year
2015. By adopting co-payment changes beginning the first year
of the proposal, the agreement preserves the option for
Congress to achieve most of the savings requested by DOD.
This approach does not constitute a rejection of the DOD
proposal, which was endorsed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Rather, consideration of further changes to co-pays is
deferred until after the committees receive the report of the
Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization
Commission, which is due in February 2015. The two committees
commit to consider proposed changes to co-pays that are
included in the FY 2016 budget request as part of the
consideration of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2016.
We note that if sequestration-level budgets remain in
effect for Fiscal Year 2016 and beyond, DOD will need to make
painful cuts and achieve substantial savings across its
entire budget in order to avoid an unacceptable reduction in
readiness of the Armed Forces of the United States.
Elimination of inpatient day limits and other limits in
provision of mental health services (sec. 703)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 703) that would amend section 1079 of title 10, United

States Code, to authorize the Secretary of Defense to provide
provisional coverage or authorization for coverage for
certain health care products and services that do not meet
the hierarchy of reliable evidence as prescribed in federal
regulations for the TRICARE program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would amend chapter 55 of Title 10, United
States Code, to authorize the Secretary of Defense, acting
through the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health
Affairs, to provide provisional coverage for the provision of
a service or

more than 20 percent.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense to

of more than 20 percent.
Surveys on continued viability of TRICARE Standard and
TRICARE Extra (sec. 712)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 712) that would
change the frequency of the reports of the reviews submitted
to Congress by the Comptroller General of the United States
regarding the processes, procedures, and analysis used by the

number of health care providers who accept TRICARE Standard
and TRICARE Extra. The Comptroller General would report on

requested by the Comptroller General or the Committees on
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives.

(sec. 707) that would repeal the requirement for ongoing

analysis used by DOD to determine health care and mental
health care provider acceptance of the TRICARE Standard and
TRICARE Extra benefit.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would change the frequency of the reports of
the reviews submitted to Congress by the Comptroller General

study with regard to recommendations to restructure or
realign military medical treatment facilities. Further, the
provision would require the Comptroller General of the United
States, not later than 180 days after the Secretary submits
the report required, to submit a report to the congressional
defense committees on the report submitted by the Secretary
of Defense, to include an assessment of the study methodology
and data used by the Secretary. The Secretary would be

Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239), which provided
an ABA therapy reinforcement benefit for family members of
retirees. The Department of Defense is required to provide
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House
of Representatives with a report on the results of that pilot
program, to include recommendations with regard to
beneficiary cost-shares for the benefit. This report is
expected in early 2015.
Cooperative health care agreements between the military
departments and non-military health care entities
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 711) that would
authorize the secretaries of the military departments to
establish cooperative health care agreements between military
installations and local or regional non-military health care
entities.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Limitation on transfer or elimination of graduate medical
education billets
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 713) that would
prohibit the Secretary of Defense from transferring or
eliminating a graduate medical education billet from a
military medical treatment facility unless the Secretary
conducts a review of at least 2 years of the implementation
of the reform of the administration of the Military Health
System, examines recruiting and retention of medical
professionals with regard to the Department of Defense's
graduate medical education programs, determines the
assignment of such billets, and certifies to the
congressional defense committees that any proposed transfer
of a billet meets the needs of the military departments and
patients.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Department of Defense Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care
Fund matters
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 721) that would amend sections 1111, 1113, 1115, and
1116 of title 10, United States Code, to modify the method by
which the Federal Government makes accrual payments into the
Department of Defense Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care
Fund (Fund), by changing from a lump sum Treasury payment at
the beginning of a fiscal year to monthly payments by the
military services out of military personnel accounts, and
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to change the
actuarial determination required by section 1115 of title 10,
United States Code, in the event Congress enacts significant
benefit changes after such determination was made.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
For the last several years, the Department of Defense (DOD)
has proposed legislation that, if enacted, would reduce its
annual contribution to the Fund. These proposals have come as
part of the administration's budget submission, and DOD
continues to assume discretionary savings in its budget that
are tied to enactment of these proposals, despite the fact
that (1) there is no guarantee that Congress will support the
proposals, and (2) even if Congress were to support such
proposals, the timing of the annual contribution to the Fund
precludes DOD from realizing discretionary savings in the
year of execution, unless the annual defense bill is passed
and signed by the President prior to October 1st. We find
this practice of assuming savings disingenuous at worst, and
short-sighted and impractical at best.
Until a method is devised for DOD to realize year-of-
execution savings with respect to its contributions to the
Fund, we strongly urge DOD to cease its practice of assuming
year-of-execution discretionary savings from legislative
proposals that effect outlays from the Fund. Such practice
leaves DOD with military personnel funding shortfalls even if
Congress supports legislative proposals that yield short-term
discretionary savings.
Research regarding Alzheimer's disease
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 723) that would
authorize the Secretary of Defense to carry out research,
development, test, and evaluation activities with respect to
Alzheimer's disease.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Briefing on hospitals in arrears in payments to Department of
Defense
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 728) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to provide to the Committees
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives a briefing on the process used by the Defense
Health Agency (DHA) to collect payments from non-Department
of Defense (DOD) hospitals.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We direct the Secretary of Defense to provide, not later
than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, a
briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate
and the House of Representatives on the process used by DHA
to collect payments from non-DOD hospitals, to include a list
of each hospital that is more than 90 days in arrears in
payments to the Secretary, including the amount of arrears by
30-day increments for each such hospital.
Research regarding breast cancer
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 729) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to implement the
recommendations of the Interagency Breast Cancer and
Environmental Research Coordinating Committee (IBCERCC) to
prioritize prevention and increase the study of chemical and
physical factors in breast cancer.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the Department of Defense Breast Cancer
Research Program (BCRP) has implemented recommendations of
the IBCERCC and has prioritized primary prevention as one of
the BCRP's ten overarching challenges. In addition, the study
of chemical and physical factors in primary prevention is one
of several recommendations made by the IBCERCC to address the
primary prevention of breast cancer. The intent of the
program is to enable researchers to submit proposals that
address any of the overarching challenges.
Sense of Congress regarding access to mental health services
by members of the armed forces
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 730) that would
express the sense of Congress

[[Page H8696]]

that servicemembers should have adequate access to the mental
health care and support that they need, that public-private
mental health partnerships can provide the Department of
Defense (DOD) with enhanced capability to treat
servicemembers, and that DOD should fully implement the pilot
program authorized under section 706 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Evaluation of wounded warrior care and transition program
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 731) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract
with a private organization to evaluate the wounded warrior
care and transition program of the Department of Defense.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Report on military family planning programs of the Department
of Defense
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 731) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
conduct a comprehensive study of the access of servicemembers
and certain military dependents to methods of contraception
approved by the Food and Drug Administration, contraception
counseling, and related education, and to submit to the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives a report of the findings of this study no
later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Interagency working group on the provision of mental health
services to members of the National Guard and the
Reserves
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 732) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
convene an interagency working group to review and recommend
collaborative approaches to improving the provision of mental
health services to members of the National Guard and Reserves
and to submit a report on the findings and recommendations of
the interagency working group to the appropriate
congressional committees not later than 1 year after the date
of the enactment of this Act.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Primary blast injury research

express the sense of Congress that hyperbaric oxygen therapy
can be used to treat servicemembers for traumatic brain
injury and post-traumatic stress disorder and that the
Secretary of Defense should increase awareness among
servicemembers and military doctors of hyperbaric oxygen
therapy treatments.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.

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

SUBTITLE A--ACQUISITION POLICY AND MANAGEMENT

Modular open systems approaches in acquisition programs (sec.
801)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 801) that would require the Department of Defense (DOD)
to adopt an open systems approach to Major Defense
Acquisition Programs and Major Automated Information Systems,
and to other programs the primary purpose of which is the
acquisition of an information technology (IT) system,
entering the acquisition process after January 1, 2016. The
committee believes that a comprehensive open systems approach
is an important component of IT acquisition reform.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
The provision requires the Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition, Technology and Logistics to develop standards
and define architectures necessary to enable open systems
approaches in key mission areas of DOD.
The Under Secretary is further required to review and
update guidance to ensure that acquisition programs use open
system approaches in the product design and acquisition of
information technology systems to the maximum extent
practicable and to detail in the contract file reasons why
any system is not an open system.
Finally, the provision requires the Under Secretary to
identify legacy information technology systems that are not
utilizing an open systems approach and outline a process for
potential conversion to an open systems approach.
Recharacterization of changes to Major Automated Information
System programs (sec. 802)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 802) that would modify requirements applicable to a
Major Automated Information System program that fails to
achieve a full deployment decision within 5 years after the
Milestone A decision or selection of the preferred
alternative for the program.
In lieu of a critical change report, failure to achieve a
full deployment decision within 5 years would be determined
to be a significant change with the attendant notification to
the congressional defense committees required for all
significant changes.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Amendments relating to defense business systems (sec. 803)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 803) that would require business process reengineering
(BPR) before milestone decisions for the Major Automated
Information System program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We continue to be concerned that BPR is not being conducted
rigorously enough, or documented well enough, to drive
successful information technology acquisition outcomes.
We believe that the Department of Defense (DOD) is too
often lackadaisical in its attempts at BPR or the results are
misaligned to the budgeting, requirements and acquisition
processes to have any significant effect on the outcome. BPR
must happen early and upfront, well before the requirements
and acquisition community get involved in order to inform
their work.
As we have observed, and as industry has indicated to us as
part of our acquisition improvement efforts, it is important
to clearly articulate the desired outcomes of information
technology (IT) system acquisitions with input from the user
community. That should happen after business processes have
been analyzed, and if necessary restructured, to ensure the
way an organization does business drives the system, not the
other way around. Aligning the IT acquisition strategy to the
mission goals of the organization is necessary to get the
maximum return-on-investment from a system, but that cannot
happen without leadership to drive and enforce organizational
change.
We believe that the requirement to do formal process
mapping as part of the milestone decision approval process
will help, but is only one step, in a larger effort to
improve the information technology management of DOD.
We believe there are a number of ways that DOD could
improve BPR. For example, expanding the investment review
process for IT systems and empowering the Deputy Chief
Management Officer (DCMO) to conduct BPR for other IT mission
areas within DOD warrants consideration in the future.
Additionally, we believe that the process improvement
officers of DOD and the military departments should work with
their respective Chief Information Officers to create metrics
to track progress and BPR, as well as meeting the other
strategic management objectives of DOD.
We note that there are many scientific and technical
personnel within DOD's research, development, test and
evaluation community that could be more actively engaged to
create a rigorous, scientific process for conducting BPR.
Report on implementation of acquisition process for
information technology systems (sec. 804)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 805) that would require the Under Secretary of Defense
(Acquisition, Technology, & Logistics) to submit a report to
the congressional defense committees on the implementation of
the acquisition process for information technology detailing
the applicable implementing regulations, instructions, or
policies.
The report shall also explain any legislative criteria not
yet implemented and a schedule for implementing such criteria
along with any proposed deviations.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.

[[Page H8697]]

We are concerned with the Department of Defense's (DOD)
ability to effectively acquire information technology (IT)
resources. We believe that part of the challenge that DOD
faces is in its reliance on processes that are too heavily
focused on the acquisition of militarily unique hardware
systems. We recognize that the paradigm for IT acquisition is
rooted more firmly in the commercial marketplace. As a
consumer of commercially developed solutions, rather than a
generator of unique requirements, DOD follows commercial
trends more often than it leads them.
Unfortunately, we believe that DOD has not done enough to
come to terms with this trend, choosing instead to act as
though it has the same power to influence computing and
electronics markets as it did for most of the 20th century.
Though numerous studies have indicated a need to change
acquisition processes within DOD to adjust to the reality of
21st century commercial IT markets, DOD has made little
progress. Ideas such as agile development, the use of clear
requirements tied to software development timelines,
rethinking the processes for capital planning and investment,
and the application of system audits and risk management to
enhance outcomes are prevalent within the commercial sector,
but often face resistance and hostility from government
program managers and contracting officers.
Section 804 of the National Defense Authorization Act of
Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 111-84) authorized DOD to
implement a new acquisition process for IT systems, but to
date, we have seen little tangible action to take advantage
of those new authorities. We believe that DOD needs to do
more to show tangible progress in its efforts at improving IT
acquisition, especially as software-intensive IT systems
continue to become more prominent components of U.S. military
capability.

SUBTITLE B--AMENDMENTS TO GENERAL CONTRACTING AUTHORITIES, PROCEDURES,
AND LIMITATIONS

Extension and modification of contract authority for advanced
component development and prototype units (sec. 811)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 802) that would
extend existing statutory authority under subsection (b)(4)
of section 819 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) until September 30,
2019.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 822).
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Amendments relating to authority of the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency to carry out certain prototype
projects (sec. 812)
The House bill included a provision (section 803) which
would amend section 845(a)(1) of The National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160)
to broaden the definition for the types of efforts for which
other transactions authority might be used by the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency.
The Senate committee-reported bill included no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that makes technical changes to the use of other
transactions authority.
Extension of limitation on aggregate annual amount available
for contract services (sec. 813)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 804) that would
extend for 1 year the cap on the aggregate annual amount
spent on contracts for services through fiscal year 2015.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a technical
amendment.
We note that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has
stated that the military departments and defense agencies
generally have not developed plans to use the inventory of
contracted services, mandated since 2008 in section 2330a of
title 10, United States Code, to facilitate the Department of
Defense's (DOD) strategic workforce planning, workforce mix,
budget decision-making processes, and contract execution and
oversight.
Further, GAO found that components may not have fully
identified, as required by section 2330a of title 10, United
States Code, all instances in which contractors are providing
services that are inherently governmental, closely associated
with inherently governmental functions, staff augmentation,
or personal services, the latter of which we note are
prohibited by law.
According to GAO, a key factor inhibiting the components'
inventory review is a lack of accurate and reliable data,
which we note the inventory could provide if the components
were to implement DOD-wide a common data system based on the
Army's existing system as directed by existing DOD guidance.
In the absence of a plan of action with milestones and
timeframes to establish a common data system to collect
contractor manpower data, we are leaving the caps on
contractor spending in place for fiscal year 2015.
Improvement in defense design-build construction process
(sec. 814)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 805) that would
amend section 3309 of title 41, United States Code, and
section 2305a of title 10, United States Code, by limiting
the maximum number specified in the solicitation for a
design-build contract. Additionally, this provision would
require the head of an agency awarding a contract pursuant to
this provision to provide a report to the Director of the
Office of Management and Budget.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would limit application of the provision to
section 2305a of title 10, United States Code, and, for
contracts greater than $4.0 million, limit the maximum number
of offerors specified in the solicitation for a two-phase
design-build contract, unless a higher number is approved by
the head of a contracting activity.
Permanent authority for use of simplified acquisition
procedures for certain commercial items (sec. 815)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 806) that would
make the authority for use of simplified acquisition
procedures for certain commercial items permanent.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Restatement and revision of requirements applicable to
multiyear defense acquisitions to be specifically
authorized by law (sec. 816)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 821) that would clarify and reorganize the reporting
and certification requirements of the Department of Defense
when requesting specific authorization for multiyear contract
authority.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
technical amendment clarifying when certain cost estimates
should be performed.
Sourcing requirements related to avoiding counterfeit
electronic parts (sec. 817)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 824) that would clarify sourcing requirements related
to avoiding counterfeit electronic parts.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Amendments to Proof of Concept Commercialization Pilot
Program (sec. 818)
The House bill included a provision (section 829) which
would modify the Small Business Act (section 638 of title 15,
United States Code) to require each agency carrying out a
Small Business Technology Transfer program to support
innovative approaches to technology transfer at institutions
of higher education, based on the pilot program established
under section 5127 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81).
The Senate committee-reported bill included no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that makes technical amendments to section 1603 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014
(Public Law 113-66), which provides authority for the DOD to
fund commercialization proof of concept centers.
We note that there is commercialization potential in the
research activities ongoing in universities, small
businesses, and defense labs. Transition of promising
research results into fielded defense systems or commercially
successful enterprises is a benefit to both DOD and the
nation as a whole.
We note that the Senate committee-reported Defense
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (H.R. 4870 and Senate
report 113-211) encouraged DOD to expand efforts at
commercialization of technologies, especially those derived
from research at the DOD laboratories. We encourage the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering
to work with the Congress to identify appropriate funding to
support the commercialization activities envisioned in that
bill, as well as those authorized by this provision.

SUBTITLE C--INDUSTRIAL BASE MATTERS

Temporary extension of and amendments to test program for
negotiation of comprehensive small business
subcontracting plans (sec. 821)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 811) that would
modify and extend the test program for negotiation of
comprehensive small business subcontracting plans authorized
by section 402 of the Small Business Administration
Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-
574).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 823).
The agreement includes the House provision with a technical
amendment.
Plan for improving data on bundled or consolidated contracts
(sec. 822)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 813) that would
amend section 644 of title 15, United States Code, by
requiring the Small Business Administration to work with
other agencies to create and implement a data quality
improvement plan to promote greater accuracy, transparency,
and accountability in the reporting of contract bundling and
consolidation.
The committee recognizes that properly labeling a contract
as bundled or consolidated is important to small business
competition, as the process of contract labeling triggers a
series of reviews and mitigation steps that promote
opportunities for small business.

[[Page H8698]]

The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We direct the Comptroller General of the United States to
assess whether contracts are being identified properly as
bundled or consolidated. The review shall examine a
statistically significant sample of contracts awarded by the
Departments of Defense (DOD), Energy, Health and Human
Services, Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, the General
Services Administration, National Aeronautics and Space
Administration and the Small Business Administration with
values above $10.0 million in sectors 23, 33, 54, and 56 as
defined by the North American Industry Classification System.
Not later than October 1, 2015, the Comptroller General
shall provide an interim briefing to the House and Senate
Committees on Armed Services, the Senate Committee on Small
Business and Entrepreneurship, and the House Committee on
Small Business with a summary of findings, including an
assessment of (1) the quality of data reported pertaining to
contract bundling and consolidation, and (2) interim
recommendations, if any, to improve current data collection
and dissemination on contract bundling and consolidation.
In the final report, the Comptroller General shall evaluate
(1) the pros and cons of implementing government-wide the
``Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) Contract Reporting
Data Improvement Plan'' published by DOD on January 12, 2010;
(2) the plan proposed by the Small Business Administration
under this section; and (3) whether other alternatives should
be considered to improve reporting of bundled and
consolidated contracts without requiring modification to
FPDS.
Finally, the Comptroller General shall examine whether
government-wide strategic sourcing vehicles are reducing the
number of companies, including small business concerns, that
are actively participating in the federal procurement system
as prime contractors, and whether this reduction poses
substantial risk to the industrial base.
The final report shall be delivered to the House and Senate
Committees on Armed Services, the Senate Committee on Small
Business and Entrepreneurship, and the House Committee on
Small Business not later than October 1, 2017.
Authority to provide education to small businesses on certain
requirements of Arms Export Control Act (sec. 823)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 814) that would
amend section 21(c)(1) of the Small Business Act (section
648(c)(1) of title 15, United States Code) by including a
requirement that applicants receiving grants pursuant to that
section shall also assist small businesses by providing,
where appropriate, education on the requirements applicable
to small businesses under the regulations issued pursuant to
the Arms Export Control Act (chapter 39 of title 22, United
States Code) and on compliance with those requirements. The
provision would also amend section 2418 of title 10, United
States Code, by expanding the Procurement Technical
Assistance Program to assist small business concerns with
education related to export controls.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Matters relating to reverse auctions (sec. 824)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 815) that would
amend the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631) to prohibit the
use of reverse auctions for procurement of certain goods and
services if the contract is awarded using a Small Business
Act procurement authority.
It would also limit the use of reverse auctions in cases
where only one offer was received or where offerors do not
have the ability to submit revised bids throughout the course
of the auction.
The section further clarified that the desire to use a
reverse auction does not obviate federal agencies from the
obligation to use a Small Business Act procurement authority.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We note that in conducting reverse auctions, buyers have
the ability to cancel an auction at any time before the
auction closes or to make the decision not to make any award
after the auction closes with proper justification in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the solicitation
and all applicable regulations.
The agreement also prohibits the use of reverse auctions
for military construction projects that require a specific
congressional authorization.
Sole source contracts for small business concerns owned and
controlled by women (sec. 825)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 827) that would
allow for sole source contracting to certain women owned
small businesses.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.

SUBTITLE D--FEDERAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION REFORM

Chief Information Officer authority enhancements (sec. 831)

Portfolio review (sec. 833)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 5301) that would
inventory information technology software assets.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement contains the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Federal data center consolidation initiative (sec. 834)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 5203) that would
provide for the consolidation of federal data centers.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We believe that the Department of Defense (DOD) has made
significant strides in consolidating its data center
infrastructure, by maturing its process for evaluating data
centers as well as finding opportunities to leverage
commercial cloud computing capabilities. However, as both
savings and efficiencies from data center consolidation reach
a point of diminishing returns, we believe that DOD can
continue to make further progress by also integrating efforts
to assess the applications that run on this infrastructure to
determine which require dedicated servers and which can
potentially be migrated to virtualized or cloud environments.
We believe that software application rationalization and
consolidation is a natural extension of, and next step in,
data center consolidation. Reducing the data center footprint
eliminates unneeded infrastructure, but software application
rationalization is needed to more efficiently utilize the
infrastructure that remains, and to better determine if any
further data center consolidation may or may not be
warranted.
Therefore, we direct the Chief Information Office of DOD,
in consultation with the Chief Information Officers of the
military departments, to carry out an assessment to identify
and prioritize the software applications in use throughout
DOD that should be considered for migration to a cloud
computing environment and to submit a report on the results
of the assessment to the Committees on Armed Services of the
Senate and House of Representatives by December 15, 2015.
This assessment should include the following:
(1) Whether each of the software applications used by DOD
can be readily transitioned to a cloud computing environment
with minimal additional investment of developmental funding;
(2) If a software application used by DOD cannot be readily
transitioned to a cloud computing environment, the cost and
time required to enable, either by modification or
replacement, the operation of the software application in a
cloud computing environment;
(3) Whether it would be cost-effective to enable, either by
modification or replacement, the operation of a software
application in a cloud computing environment;
(4) A list of software applications used by DOD that should
be enabled, either by modification or replacement, to operate
in a cloud computing environment, listed in the order of
priority by which they should be enabled, and a schedule for
such modification or replacement; and
(5) An estimate of the cloud computing workload needs of
DOD time-phased across the future years defense plan to
inform DOD's cloud computing needs under the Joint
Information Environment initiative that might be satisfied by
government-owned and -operated or commercial cloud computing
solutions.

provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Maximizing the benefit of the Federal strategic sourcing
initiative (sec. 836)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 5501) that would
require regulations to maximize the benefit of the Federal
Strategic Sourcing Initiative.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.

of a contractor, recipient of a grant or cooperative
agreement to the extent necessary to ensure that funds,
including goods and services, available under the contract,
grant, or cooperative agreement are not provided directly or
indirectly to a person or entity that is actively opposing
United States or coalition forces involved in a contingency
operation in which members of the Armed Forces are actively
engaged in hostilities.

SUBTITLE F--OTHER MATTERS

Rapid acquisition and deployment procedures for United States
Special Operations Command (sec. 851)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 807) that would require procedures for the rapid
acquisition and deployment of items for the U.S. Special
Operations Command (SOCOM) that are currently under
development by the Department of Defense (DOD) or available
from the commercial sector and are urgently needed to avoid
significant risk or loss of life or mission failure, or
needed to avoid collateral damage where no collateral damage
is necessary for mission success.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would authorize the establishment of
procedures for rapid acquisition and deployment of items for
SOCOM that are currently under development by DOD or
available from the commercial sector and are urgently needed
to avoid significant risk or loss of life or mission failure,
or needed to avoid collateral damage where no collateral
damage is necessary for mission success.
The provision would also require the Commander, SOCOM, in
instances where an item has identified deficiencies, to make
the determination that deployment of such an item is
acceptable for reasons of national security.
The provision would also make clear the SOCOM Commander may
not use the authority under this provision at the same time
as the Commander uses the authority under section 806 of
Public Law 107-314.
The agreement also includes amendments to the provision
that would require congressional notifications be made before
such rapid acquisition procedures go into effect and after
such use of rapid acquisition procedures are used to ensure
robust congressional oversight of this authority.
Consideration of corrosion control in preliminary design
review (sec. 852)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 808) that would require the Under Secretary of Defense
for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to ensure that
Department of Defense (DOD) Instruction 5000.02 and other
applicable guidance require full consideration during
preliminary design review of metals, materials, and
technologies that effectively prevent or control corrosion
over the life cycle of the product.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
We expect the relevant instruction and regulations called
for in this provision to be tailored to apply only to
products likely to corrode and not to every item or system
purchased by the DOD.
Program manager development report (sec. 853)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 841) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
develop a comprehensive strategy for enhancing the role of
Department of Defense program managers in developing and
carrying out defense acquisition programs.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Operational metrics for Joint Information Environment and
supporting activities (sec. 854)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 821) that would
require the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to conduct
a review of the Air Force Network-Centric Solutions II
contract and provide a certification to the Committees on
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives
that the contract is effective in delivering information
technology capabilities for the joint force.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We remain concerned by the lack of clarity about the
activities supporting the Joint Information Environment
(JIE), including the programs of records, and other non-
materiel aspects, that would contribute to the JIE vision.
In the case of some of the programs that we believe
contribute to JIE, like the Air Force's Network Centric
Solutions II contract, Navy's Next Generation Enterprise
Network, or the Army's Installation Information
Infrastructure Modernization program, there are measures of
performance driven by the information technology community,
but not ones that can be clearly tied to operational outcomes
for the warfighting community.
As the JIE evolves into a seamless network to support
warfighting functions, as well as business and support
processes, we believe that the Department of Defense (DOD)
needs metrics that can be tied to the operational customer in
ways that can demonstrate effectiveness, efficiency and
satisfaction.
Therefore, we direct the DOD Chief Information Officer, in
coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
to brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and
the House of Representatives on the guidance and metrics
required by this section within 210 days of the enactment of
this Act.
Compliance with requirements for senior Department of Defense
officials seeking employment with defense contractors
(sec. 855)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 823) that would
amend section 847 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181) to require the
Secretary of Defense to designate an official of the
Department of Defense (DOD) to ensure compliance with the
requirements of that section and would require that, not
later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act, such official shall submit to the congressional defense
committees a report on DOD's efforts to ensure compliance
with the requirements of section 847.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We note a lack of clarity in the lines of supervision for
purposes of monitoring compliance with section 847 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008
(Public Law 110-181).
We therefore direct DOD to review those lines of
supervision and to submit a report on its findings to the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and of the House
of Representatives, no later than March 31, 2015.
The report shall identify each supervisory component by
office and by position and describe the reporting
relationships between each of DOD's 17 Designed Agency Ethics
Officials and each of the various components in their
respective chains of supervision as they relate to section
847 compliance.
Enhancement of whistleblower protection for employees of
grantees (sec. 856)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 826) that would enhance the whistleblower protections
for employees of grantees.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Prohibition on reimbursement of contractors for congressional
investigations and inquiries (sec. 857)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 827) that would prohibit reimbursement of costs
incurred by a contractor in connection with a congressional
investigation or inquiry into an issue that is the subject
matter of a proceeding resulting in a disposition.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Requirement to provide photovoltaic devices from United
States sources (sec. 858)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 829) that would provide additional acquisition
opportunities for the Department of Defense with respect to
photovoltaic devices.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Reimbursement of Department of Defense for assistance
provided to nongovernmental entertainment-oriented media
producers (sec. 859)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 862) that would provide for the reimbursement to the
Department of Defense for assistance provided to

[[Page H8700]]

nongovernmental entertainment-oriented media producers.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Three-year extension of authority for Joint Urgent
Operational Needs Fund (sec. 860)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 863) that would reauthorize the Joint Urgent
Operational Needs Fund for three more years.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

Extension to United States Transportation Command of
authorities relating to prohibition on contracting with
the enemy
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 801) that would
amend section 831(i)(1) of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) to add U.S.
Transportation Command to the list of covered combatant
commands.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 861).
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the extension to U.S. Transportation Command
of authorities relating to prohibition on contracting with
the enemy was included in another provision of this
agreement.
Governance of Joint Information Environment
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 804) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
install a stronger management element and set of controls on
the Joint Information Environment (JIE) initiative, including
by requiring the assignment of an experienced coordinator
under the Chief Information Officer (CIO) to oversee the JIE
migration, the establishment of a team of experts to support
the coordinator, and modifications to the JIE Executive
Committee and its working groups to ensure better
representation of those who must use the JIE to execute
warfighting missions and those who must defend the JIE from
cyber attacks.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We are encouraged that the newly appointed CIO has the
necessary support from the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of
Defense, and the intent, to impose greater discipline over
the JIE migration, bolster the planning and engineering
resources devoted to the initiative, and to ensure that the
needs of the operational forces receive all due consideration
alongside communications and computing efficiencies and cost
savings.
We direct that the CIO be prepared to brief the
congressional defense committees at regular intervals on the
measures taken to achieve these improvements, including
defining what JIE encompasses, and the ``as is'' condition
and the ``to be'' architecture; developing an integrated
master schedule and cost estimates; and tracking compliance
with objectives, schedules, and costs.
In addition, we direct the CIO to identify and prioritize
the applications in use in the Department of Defense (DOD)
that the CIO assesses are candidates for migration to a cloud
computing environment, and to determine which applications
can and cannot, without modification or replacement, be
shifted to a cloud computing environment, along with a time-
phased plan to either modify or replace those applications
that are not cloud-compatible. We note that a significant
percentage of DOD computing applications cannot be
virtualized or otherwise are not cloud-compatible, and that
the cost and time required to modify such applications are
substantial. Without an understanding of what applications
can be readily migrated, and a plan to modify or replace
those that cannot, neither DOD nor potential commercial cloud
providers will be able to plan effectively. The CIO should
complete this tasking, and be prepared to share the results
with the congressional defense committees, within 270 days of
the enactment of this Act.
Improving opportunities for service-disabled veteran-owned
small business
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 812) that would
amend section 657 of title 15, United States Code, by
consolidating the verification and appeals processes for
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)
programs at the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Small
Business Administration (SBA), and by moving the processes
and resources of the SDVOSB verification programs at the
Department of Veterans Affairs to the SBA.
The provision would also allow the surviving spouse of a
service-disabled veteran who acquires an ownership right in a
small business concern to be treated as if the surviving
spouse were that veteran for the purpose of maintaining the
status of the small business as a small business concern
owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that in the case of a transfer of ownership
resulting from the death of a service-disabled veteran to a
surviving spouse altering the status of the small business as
a SDVOSB, we believe the small business concern can continue
to perform existing contracts along with any remaining
options to those contracts under existing law.
Improving Federal Surety Bonds
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 816) that would
amend section 411(c)(1) of the Small Business Investment Act
of 1958 (Public Law 85-699) by raising the guarantee rate on
the Small Business Administration's preferred security bond
program from 70 percent to 90 percent.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Publication of required justification that consolidation of
contract requirements
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 817) that would
require publication of certain justification and approval
documents.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Small business prime and subcontract participation goals
raised; accounting of subcontracting
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 818) that would
raise the goals for small business subcontracting.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Small business cyber education
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 819) that would
allow the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the
Administrator of the Small Business Administration, to
promote an outreach and education program to assist small
businesses in understanding the cyber threat and in defending
their networks and intellectual property.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We recognize the challenges faced by small business, both
in protecting their own networks and intellectual property,
and also in developing effective capabilities to address
cyber security needs. As noted in the Joint Explanatory
Statement accompanying H.R. 3304, we recognize the challenges
that the defense acquisition system can pose for small
businesses, but the purpose of the small and disadvantaged
businesses offices established in each of the services is to
handle the whole gamut of small business issues.
We are aware of the activities the Department of Defense
(DOD) has instituted in order to improve small business
access to threat information and best practices pertaining to
cyber security. Last year, DOD briefed the Armed Services
Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives on
plans to support cyber education activities for small
business through the existing small business program. We
recognize that this is a work in progress, and that an
ongoing assessment of those efforts should be commenced in
order to determine the effectiveness of those efforts.
Therefore, we direct the Comptroller General of the United
States to submit a report to the Armed Services Committees of
the Senate and House of Representatives by November 1, 2015
on the DOD's outreach and education to assist small
businesses in understanding cyber threats. This report should
address the following:
(1) An assessment of the planning being done to integrate
cyber education and outreach into the programs of the offices
of small and disadvantaged businesses of DOD and the military
services;
(2) The capabilities of these offices to support small
businesses in preparing plans for the protection of their
corporate networks and intellectual property; and
(3) Development of metrics to determine the performance and
effectiveness of those programs and planning activities.
Procurement of personal protective equipment
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 824) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to use best value tradeoff
source selection methods to the maximum extent practicable
when procuring an item of personal protective equipment (PPE)
or critical safety items. PPE items include, but are not
limited to, body armor components, combat helmets, combat
protective eyewear, environmental and fire resistant
clothing, footwear, organizational clothing and individual
equipment (OCIE), and other items as determined appropriate
by the Secretary.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that PPE such as body armor, helmets, specialized
clothing and footwear as well as other OCIE items are
specifically designed to meet challenging military
requirements and specifications.
These PPE items are usually not commercial off-the-shelf
products, but are frequently highly engineered, critical
life-saving equipment items designed and manufactured to meet
rigorous performance standards, first article testing and
stringent production quality requirements.

[[Page H8701]]

We remain committed to providing the warfighter with the
best equipment possible and encourage the Department of
Defense to use proper source selection methods to fulfill
these requirements. In cases where offerors have widely
diverse technical qualifications and are expected to provide
products that differ significantly in performance
characteristics, source selection criteria should not be
solely based on cost in the procurement of OCIE and PPE.
Authority for Defense Contract Audit Agency to interview
contractor employees in connection with examination of
contractor records
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 825) that would amend subsection (a)(1) of section 2313
of title 10, United States Code, to grant the Defense
Contract Audit Agency specific authority to interview
contractor employees similar to the authority granted to the
Comptroller General of the United States in subsection (c)(1)
of that same section.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We believe that under the authorities provided by section
2313 of title 10, United States Code, Defense Contract Audit
Agency (DCAA) officials have the authority to interview
contractor employees during the course of an audit if such an
interview is required to complete the audit.
We therefore encourage contractors to make available for
interview the employees associated with matters related to an
audit conducted in accordance with section 2313.
We also note that failure to provide reasonable access to
interview employees associated with matters under review
during an audit could result in a qualified audit opinion.
Prohibition on funds for contracts violating Executive Order
No. 11246
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 825) that would
prohibit funding authorized to be appropriated by this Act or
otherwise made available to the Department of Defense to be
used to enter into any contract with any entity if such
contract would violate Executive Order No. 11246 (relating to
non-retaliation for disclosure of compensation information),
as amended by the announcement of the President on April 8,
2014.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Requirement for policies and standard checklist in
procurement of services
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 826) that would
amend section 2330a of title 10, United States Code, by
requiring the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and
Readiness to implement a standard checklist to be used for
new contract approval for services or exercising an option
under an existing contract for services. The checklist
required would be modeled on the policy and checklist
relating to services contract approval form (dated August
2012) established and in use by the Department of the Army.
Finally, the provision would require the Comptroller General
of the United States to submit to the congressional defense
committees a report on the implementation of the standard
checklist for each of fiscal years 2015, 2016, and 2017.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include the provision.
We direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics, and the senior acquisition
executive for the Department of the Navy and the Department
of the Air Force, no later than March 30, 2015, to issue to
the Defense agencies and the military services, respectively,
policies implementing a standard checklist to be completed
before the issuance of a solicitation for any new contract
for services or exercising an option under an existing
contract for services, including services provided under a
contract for goods.
We recommend that the Under Secretary and the senior
acquisition executives, to the extent practicable, model
their policies and checklists on the policy and checklist
relating to services contract approval currently used by the
Department of the Army.
We also direct the Comptroller General of the United States
to submit to the congressional defense committees a report on
the Defense agencies' and military services' implementation
of a standard checklist by January 30, 2016.
Debarment required of persons convicted of fraudulent use of
`made in America' labels

debar people convicted of the fraudulent use of ``Made in
America'' labels.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Requirement to buy American flags from domestic sources
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 830) that would
require the purchase of American flags from domestic sources.

provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that flags of the United States procured by the
Department of Defense are procured in accordance with section
2533a(b)(1)(D) of title 10, United States Code.
Tenure and accountability of program managers for program
development periods
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 842) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
revise Department of Defense (DOD) guidance for defense
acquisition programs to address the tenure and accountability
of program managers for the program development period of
defense acquisition programs.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that we require the Secretary of Defense to provide
recommendations on program manager tenure as part of an
overarching review of program manager development elsewhere
in this Act.
We express our intent to address program manager tenure in
next year's National Defense Authorization Act in the context
of a larger DOD acquisition reform effort.
Tenure and accountability of program managers for program
execution periods
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 843) that would address the tenure and accountability
of program managers for the program execution period.
The provision would require each such program manager to
enter into a performance agreement with the milestone
decision authority (MDA) that establishes the expected
parameters of performance, including the commitment of the
MDA that adequate funding and resources are available and
will be provided, and assurance of the program manager that
the parameters are achievable.
The provision would also require that program managers be
given authority comparable to the authority given to private
sector program managers and that they be assigned to a
program until the delivery of the first production units,
with a narrow waiver authority.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that we require the Secretary of Defense to provide
recommendations on program manager tenure as part of an
overarching review of program manager development elsewhere
in this Act.
We express our intent to address program manager tenure in
next year's National Defense Authorization Act in the context
of a larger Department of Defense acquisition reform effort.
Removal of requirements related to waiver of preliminary
design review and post-preliminary design review before
Milestone B
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision

Title IX--Department of Defense Organization and Management

SUBTITLE A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MANAGEMENT

Reorganization of the Office of the Secretary of Defense and
related matters (sec. 901)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 908) that would
incorporate a proposal from the Department of Defense to make
several amendments to title 10, United States Code, relating
to the organization and management of the Office of the
Secretary of Defense.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 901) that would combine the Deputy Chief
Management Officer position and the Chief Information Officer
position into the Chief Management Officer position,
redesignate the Deputy Secretary of Defense as the Chief
Operating Officer, eliminate the Deputy Under Secretary of
Defense title except for Principal Deputy Under Secretaries
of Defense established by law, and redesignate the Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy Plans and
Programs as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Installations, Energy, and Environment.
Additionally, this proposal seeks to make changes to
Chapter 4 of title 10, United States Code, in order to
streamline the establishment provisions for certain officials
and ensure that policymaking requirements are provided for
separately from establishment provisions and to make other
clerical and conforming changes.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would combine the Deputy Chief Management
Officer and the Chief Information Officer position into a new
Under Secretary of Defense position placed in the order of
precedence before the Under Secretary of Defense for
Acquisition, Technology and Logistics.
This change would not take place until the next
administration, however, to allow for leadership continuity
in the Department of Defense through the current
administration's term in office.
The provision also combines the operational energy and
installations and environment functions under one Assistant
Secretary of Defense, and we direct the combined organization
to equally prioritize both functions. Additionally, the
provision added a new report requirement to accompany the
budget certification, or if the budget is not certified,
there are separate reporting details. Such report shall
include an appendix prepared by the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff as well as a separate appendix prepared by
the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology,
and Logistics. We expect that the Under Secretary of Defense
for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics will address
operational energy as an element of the acquisition posture
statement, when presented to Congress.
Section 902 of Public Law 110-417 created the Operational
Energy position in the Office of the Secretary of Defense,
which became the Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Operational Energy, Plans, and Programs with the intent to
inform senior-level decision-makers of the strategic
implications of operational energy requirements on the
battlefield.
We recognize and commend the Assistant Secretary for the
progress and improvements made since enactment of section
902, including streamlining operational energy requirements,
establishing policies, and extending combat capability and
operational reach by changing the culture and improving
acquisition and sustainment processes.
We believe that consideration of operational energy demands
and planning for energy consumption on the battlefield are of
tactical and strategic significance.
Therefore, we direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure
that the full intent of section 902 of Public Law 110-417 is
carried forward in any reorganization of personnel or
responsibilities related to operational energy, plans and
programs.

four by the end of fiscal year 2020 and submit a report to
Congress within 180 days of enactment of this Act on the
plan, the feasibility and risks of the plan, and any
recommendations to implement the plan the Secretary considers
appropriate.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 907) that would
establish an Office of Net Assessment in the Office of the
Secretary of Defense.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment on the establishment of such an office.
We note that the current Office of Net Assessment has
provided the Secretary of Defense with the primary support
needed to meet the requirements of section 113(i) of title
10, United States Code, directing the Secretary to conduct a
net assessment and submit an annual report to Congress.
Support for the Secretary's statutory responsibility for a
net assessment remains the primary purpose of such an office.

amend section 115b of title 10, United States Code, to
require the Secretary of Defense to prepare a biennial
strategic workforce plan that addresses the shaping and
improvement of the senior management workforce of the
Department of Defense and includes an assessment of the
senior functional and technical workforce of the Department
within the appropriate functional community. The provision

The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would establish a pilot program authorizing
the Secretary of Defense to institute a government lodging
program to provide government or commercial lodging for DOD
employees or members of the uniformed services under the
Secretary's jurisdiction performing duty on official travel.
The provision would authorize the Secretary to require such
travelers to occupy adequate quarters on a rental basis when
available. The provision would also require an initial report
within 6 months of enactment of this Act outlining facets of
the pilot program established by the Secretary, as well as
annual reports to be submitted with annual budget requests,
with a final report to be submitted with the budget request

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

Redesignation of the Department of the Navy as the Department
of the Navy and Marine Corps
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 901) that would
redesignate the Department of the Navy as the Department of
the Navy and Marine Corps, and redesignate the position of
the Secretary of the Navy as the Secretary of the Navy and
the Marine Corps.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Additional responsibility for Director of Operational Test
and Evaluation
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 902) which would
require the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation to
consider potential increases in program cost estimates and
delays in schedule estimates when implementing the policies,
procedures, and activities related to operational test and
evaluation. In addition, the provision requires the Director
to take appropriate action to ensure operational test and
evaluation activities do not unnecessarily impede program
schedules or increase program costs.
The report accompanying the House bill also directed the
Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a review
of the operational test and evaluation processes and
activities of the Department of Defense and to report the
results of that review to the congressional defense
committees not later than March 15, 2015.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 845) requiring the Comptroller General to submit a
report to the congressional defense committees on disputes
between the Office of the Director, Operational Test and
Evaluation and the acquisition community over testing
requirements for major weapon systems.
The agreement does not include these provisions.
We believe that in order to control the cost of defense
acquisitions, each element of the acquisition system is
responsible for considering the potential increases in
acquisition program cost estimates or delays in schedule
estimates when implementing that element's policies,
procedures, and activities. This includes the budget,
requirements, acquisition, and operational test communities.
Each of these organizations should take appropriate action to
balance its responsibilities with the need to avoid
unnecessarily increasing program costs or impeding program
schedules.
Accordingly, the Comptroller General is directed to inform
the congressional defense committees, not later than March
15, 2015, on the results of its review of cases in which the

[[Page H8704]]

program office believes that the Director has required
testing above the agreed to plan.
Requirement for congressional briefing before divesting of
Defense Finance and Accounting Service functions
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 904) that would
prohibit the transfer of financial management functions out
of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) until
the Secretary of Defense provides a briefing to the
congressional defense committees on a transfer plan and
certifies the transfer would reduce costs, increase
efficiencies, maintain the timeline for auditability of
financial statements, and maintain the roles and missions of
DFAS.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
As noted in Senate report accompanying S. 2410 (S. Rept.
113-176), the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Financial
Management and Comptroller, as directed by the Secretary of
the Army, conducted a doctrine, organization, training,
material, leadership, personnel, and facilities review of all
Department of the Army financial management processes,
policies, organization, and workforce composition.
Known as the Army Financial Management Optimization (AFMO)
initiative, the AFMO Task Force made numerous
recommendations, including a plan to ``consolidate selected
financial management activities'' into ``Command-Aligned
Hubs'' (CAH).
A pilot program to test this CAH approach began October 1,
2014. While we applaud the Army's efforts, as the Army works
to reduce costs and achieve auditable financial statements,
it is important that the evaluation of any financial
management-focused program whose aim is optimization,
consolidation, or streamlining, initiated by the military
departments, services, or defense agencies, be analyzed not
just from a service perspective but also from a DOD-wide
perspective.
We therefore endorse the Senate committee's direction to
the Deputy Chief Management Officer (DCMO) of the Department
of Defense to conduct a review of the CAH pilot program for
any DOD-wide impacts and direct that the DCMO's review be
expanded to any similar financial management-focused
initiatives by other military departments, services, or
defense agencies in fiscal year 2015 for similar impacts. The
DCMO shall report findings of the review to the congressional
defense committees within 120 days of completion of any pilot
program.
Furthermore, the centralized financial management provided
by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) is
important to the auditability, cost effectiveness, and
efficiency of each military department, service, and the
defense agencies.
We therefore direct the Under Secretary of Defense
(Comptroller) to conduct a review of any proposal initiated
in this fiscal year, or resulting from a pilot program
initiated in this fiscal year, to permanently transfer
functions from DFAS to another DOD entity and to assess, at a
minimum, the impacts on cost, auditability, DFAS
capabilities, and the ability of DFAS to maintain DOD-wide
services. The Comptroller shall report findings to the
congressional defense committees prior to any proposed
transfer.
Combatant command efficiency plan
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 905) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan to combine
the back office functions of two or more combatant commands
and to submit a report on the plan to the congressional
defense committees within 120 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act. This section would define the term
``back office function'' as those including, but not limited
to, the administrative and support functions of a
headquarters of a combatant command. This section would also
limit fiscal year 2015 funds for the headquarters of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff until the Secretary of Defense, in
coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
provides the briefing on combatant command headquarters
personnel and resource requirements that was directed in the
committee report (H. Rept. 113-102) accompanying the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the underlying House provision was
incorporated into another section of this Act.
Report related to nuclear forces, deterrence,
nonproliferation, and terrorism
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 910) that would
require that not later than 90 days after the date of
enactment the Secretary provide a report to the congressional
defense committees discussing how the Department of Defense
(DOD) will manage its mission with respect to issues related
to nuclear forces, deterrence, nonproliferation, and
terrorism.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that this provision was included in the House bill
out of concern that the reorganization of the Undersecretary
of Defense for Policy which abolished the Assistant Secretary
of Defense for Global Strategic Affairs, would result in less
senior-level attention to nuclear forces, deterrence,
nonproliferation, and terrorism. In this most recent
reorganization, these subject areas are now transferred to
the Assistant Secretaries of Defense for Strategy, Plans and
Capabilities and Homeland Defense.
Section 1305 of the National Defense Authorization Act of
2008 (P.L. 110-417) noted similar concern regarding a lack of
focus on strategic and nuclear weapons policy shortly after
the 2007 unauthorized transfer of nuclear weapons from Minot
Air Force Base, and recommended that the Secretary of Defense
should consider establishing a position, at the level of
Assistant Secretary of Defense or Deputy Under Secretary of
Defense, within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense
for Policy to hold primary responsibility for the strategic
and nuclear weapons policy of DOD.
We understand that this recent reorganization was part of a
larger effort to obtain efficiencies across the DOD but we
remain concerned that appropriate focus should be kept on the
topics of nuclear forces, deterrence, nonproliferation, and
terrorism to avoid a repeat of past mistakes, such as at
Minot Air Force Base in 2007.
We request a report no later than 90 days after the date of
enactment to the congressional defense committees on how the
Secretary of Defense, through the Undersecretary of Defense
for Policy, shall manage an appropriate focus on the missions
associated with nuclear forces, deterrence, nonproliferation,
and terrorism.
Assignment of certain new requirements based on
determinations of cost-efficiency
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 913) that would
require that when assigning a new Department of Defense work
requirement to military or civilian personnel, or to a
contractor, the assignment shall be made based on a
determination of which workforce can perform the work in the
most cost-efficient manner except in cases where the new
requirement is inherently governmental, closely associated
with inherently governmental functions, critical, or required
by law to be performed by military personnel or civilian
personnel.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Prohibition on conversion of functions performed by civilian
or contractor personnel to performance by military
personnel
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 914) that would
clarify when military personnel can be used to perform
functions that are currently being performed by civilian or
contractor personnel and would codify relevant Department of
Defense instructions and policies.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Notification of compliance with section relating to
procurement of services
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 915) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to ensure compliance with
existing law regarding appropriate manpower performance and
provide written notification of compliance to the
congressional defense committees. This section would also
require the Comptroller General of the United States to
conduct a review of such a notification and report to the
congressional defense committees within 120 days after the
date of the provision of such a notification.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Public release by Inspectors General of reports of misconduct
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 924) that would
amend sections 141, 3020, 5020, and 8020 of title 10, United
States Code, to require Department of Defense and military
department Inspectors General to publicly release reports of
administrative investigation that confirm misconduct of any
member of the Senior Executive Service, political appointee,
or commissioned officer in the Armed Forces in pay grades O-6
or above.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.

defense committees.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would modify the length of the extension of
the underlying authority to 3 fiscal years, provide a
definition of transnational organized crime, and other
conforming modifications.
Availability of funds for additional support for counterdrug
activities of certain foreign governments (sec. 1013)

SUBTITLE C--NAVAL VESSELS AND SHIPYARDS

Definition of combatant and support vessel for purposes of
the annual plan and certification relating to budgeting

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1021) that would
define the term ``combatant and support vessel'' that is used
to prepare the Department of the Navy's 30-year shipbuilding
plan.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar

The agreement includes this provision.
National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund (sec. 1022)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1022) that would
create a National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund to manage the
obligation and expenditures for the advanced procurement or
construction of nuclear-powered strategic ballistic missile
submarines. The provision would also authorize the Secretary
of Defense to transfer up to $3.5 billion to the Fund from
unobligated balances from fiscal years 2014, 2015, and 2016.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1002) that would create a fund to manage the
construction (including design of vessels), purchase,
alteration, and conversion of strategic missile submarines.
The agreement includes a provision that would create a
National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund to manage the construction
(including design of vessels), purchase, alteration, and

Limitation on use of funds for inactivation of U.S.S. George
Washington (sec. 1023)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1024) that would
prohibit spending more than 50 percent of the funds
authorized and appropriated for the Office of the Secretary
of Defense until the Secretary of Defense obligates funds for
commencing, planning, and buying long lead time materials for
the refueling and complex overhaul of the USS George
Washington (CVN-73).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1021) that would prohibit spending any funds
for inactivation of the USS George Washington unless such
tasks are identical to tasks that would be necessary to
conduct a refueling and complex overhaul of the vessel.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
We note that the administration did not include a budget
request to support the nuclear refueling and complex overhaul
of the USS George Washington (CVN-73) in fiscal year 2015. In
a report to Congress titled ``Estimated Impacts of
Sequestration-Level Funding'' dated April 2014, the
Department of Defense indicated that ``if Congress acts to
support outyear funding at the PB15 level, the additional
$6.3B necessary to retain CVN 73 would be reflected in next
year's budget.''
Consistent with section 5062 of title 10, United States
Code, and multiple testimonies from the combatant commanders,
we believe that Congress has been unambiguous about the
support of 11 operational aircraft carriers and have provided
sufficient authorization of appropriations in this Act to
maintain this carrier force structure. We fully anticipate
that the administration will support a budget request for
fiscal year 2016 that is consistent with title 10, United
States Code.
Sense of Congress recognizing the anniversary of the sinking
of U.S.S. Thresher (sec. 1024)

Secretary of the Navy to maintain Littoral Combat Ships (LCS)
by allowing government personnel or U.S. contractor personnel
to conduct corrective and preventive maintenance on an LCS
vessel regardless of the ship's location.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would allow

[[Page H8706]]

the Secretary of the Navy to establish a pilot program for
conducting corrective and preventive maintenance or repair on
LCS vessels operating on extended deployment, performed by
United States Government personnel or United States
contractor personnel. The Secretary would also be required to
prepare a report 120 days after completion of this LCS
sustainment pilot program and submit that report to the
congressional defense committees.
Availability of funds for retirement or inactivation of
Ticonderoga class cruisers or dock landing ships (sec.
1026)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1026) that would
limit the obligation and expenditure of funds authorized to
be appropriated or otherwise made available for fiscal year
2015 for the retirement, inactivation, or storage of
Ticonderoga-class cruisers and Whidbey Island-class
amphibious ships. This section would also require the
modernization of two Ticonderoga-class cruisers to begin in
fiscal year 2015.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1022) that would establish rules under which
the Navy could use resources in the Ship, Modernization,
Operations, and Sustainment Fund (SMOSF) to implement a plan
to: (1) Retain 11 Ticonderoga-class cruisers and nine Whidbey
Island-class and Harpers Ferry-class dock landing ships in
active service; (2) Temporarily inactivate 11 Ticonderoga-
class cruisers and three Whidbey Island-class dock landing
ships; (3) Modernize the inactivated ships during the period
of their inactivation; and (4) Reactivate those ships to
replace cruisers and dock landing ships retiring at the end
of their expected service lives.
The agreement contains the House provision with an
amendment that would direct Navy to induct two cruisers for
modernization with fiscal year 2015 funds. The provision
would also establish rules under which the Navy could use
resources in the SMOSF account to modernize and retain the
cruisers and dock landing ships.
We are specifically not prohibiting the Navy from assigning
crews to other duties ashore during the duration of the
modernization. The Navy has previously modernized a number of
ship classes that resulted in significant time out of service
for individual vessels. In those instances, the Navy made
substantial but temporary reductions in the crew size. We
believe that the temporary reductions should be commensurate
with the period of the availability. We direct the Secretary
of the Navy to ensure that the Navy does adequate planning
and preparation to ensure that the crews for cruisers and
dock landing ships emerging from a SMOSF-funded modernization
period are ready when the ship is delivered from
modernization activities and returned to the fleet. We also
expect the Secretary to ensure that these ships are
maintained in the inventory until the end their expected
service lives, excluding time spent in a phased modernization
status.

The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would conform the provision to language on the
same matter contained in title 49, United States Code.
As operations in the U.S. Central Command area of
responsibility draw down, there will be reduced demand for
airlift.
The CRAF program was created to ensure the nation can
address airlift requirements despite fluctuations in
requirements over time. During this transition back to pre-
1990 levels of demand for airlift services, we believe it is
imperative to maintain both organic and commercial capacities
to meet operational demands and unknown future requirements.
Therefore, we direct the Department of Defense (DOD) to
work closely with CRAF program partners to ensure that DOD
establishes ``appropriate levels for peacetime cargo airlift
augmentation in order to promote the effectiveness of the
Civil Reserve Air Fleet and provide training within the
military aircraft system,'' as directed in the National
Airlift Policy.

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law
111-84), as most recently amended by section 1094 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014
(Public Law 113-66), to expand the authority of the Secretary
of Defense to provide Department of Defense (DOD) advisors to
regional organizations.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We are concerned about the implementation of the Ministry
of Defense Advisors (MODA) program, specifically the process

relating to significant compromises of classified
information, an overview of mitigation efforts, a description
of the resources dedicated to efforts relating to such
compromises, a description of the Secretary's plan to
continue evaluating and mitigating any damages, and a general
description and estimate of the cost associated with
mitigating such compromises. This section would also require

calendar years 2015-18.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision, but the classified annex to the Senate report
accompanying S. 2410 (S. Rept. 113-176) of the Carl Levin
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 also
included direction for DOD on this issue.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would sunset the reporting requirement after
2016 and require quarterly updates rather than semi-annual
reporting. However, we understand that the Information Review
Task Force, within the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the
Mitigation Oversight Task Force, within the Joint Staff, are
already producing quarterly reports regarding the disclosure
and mitigation measures. Providing the Mitigation Oversight
Task Force and Information Review Task Force reports to the
appropriate congressional committees, will be considered
sufficient to answer the requirements of this provision,
assuming that all the elements of the provision are
addressed.
Study on joint analytic capability of the Department of
Defense (sec. 1053)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1064) that would

(DOD). The provision would also allow the Secretary of
Defense to prescribe regulations, including traffic
regulations, for the same purpose.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would require the
Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and House of Representatives, and to
the Senate and House of Representatives Committees on
Judiciary, and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and
Government Affairs, and the House Committee on Homeland
Security and Government Affairs a report, coordinated with
the Attorney General of the United States and the Secretary
of Homeland Security, that identifies the issues, shortfalls
and gaps in authorities for the protection of military
installations by the three agencies concerned, and the risks
associated with those issues, shortfalls, and gaps. The
report would also provide a description of specific examples
of incidents that illustrate those concerns. The agreement
also seeks a recommendation for legislation that fulfills
DOD's requirements and addresses the concerns of the three
agencies.

AH-64 attack helicopters from the National Guard to the
Active Duty Army. The provision would also require the
Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report
on its review of Department of Defense and Department of the
Army analysis and plans for force structure and mix changes.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision with an amendment
that would clarify the elements of the required Comptroller
General assessment. The agreement would also strike the
limitations on end strength reductions and the transfer of
National Guard helicopters because these limitations are
addressed elsewhere in this Act.
Improving analytic support to systems acquisition and
allocation of acquisition, intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance assets (sec. 1058)

would also require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives a report on the feasibility of conducting
similar surveys of military dependents and DOD contractors.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
We expect DOD to implement this provision through available

Revision to statute of limitations for aviation insurance
claims (sec. 1074)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1073) that would
amend section 44309 of title 49, United States Code, by
clarifying that the claimant for civil actions must present a

The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Pilot program for the Human Terrain System (sec. 1075)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1074) that would
require the Secretary of the Army to conduct a pilot program
to use Human Terrain System assets in the U.S. Pacific
Command area of responsibility to support Phase 0 shaping
operations and to support the theater security cooperation
plans of the geographic combatant commander.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would provide the Secretary of the Army some

congressional defense committees on the milestones, metrics,
deliverables, and resources needed to execute the program.
The brief should include an assessment of the value of the
program in comparison to the various other analytic tools and
techniques that are at the disposal of the military.
Clarification of policies on management of special use
airspace of Department of Defense (sec. 1076)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1075) that would
allow the Secretary of Defense to enter into a memorandum of
understanding with a non-Department of Defense (DOD) entity
that is engaged in the test range program authorized under
section 332(c) of the Federal Aviation Administration
Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-95).
Such entity would be allowed access to non-regulatory special
use airspace if such access is used by the entity as part of
such test range program and such access would not interfere
with the activities of the Secretary or otherwise interrupt
or delay missions or training of the DOD.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision. A proposed amendment to the Senate committee-
reported bill (amendment number 3578) contained a provision
that would allow the Secretary of Defense to authorize use by
another department or agency of the Federal government of
special use airspace at a DOD installation if such use would
support or benefit DOD, or support some national security
interest. Access could not be granted if the use of airspace
would interfere with the assigned mission of the commander of
the installation.
The agreement contains the House provision with an
amendment that would direct DOD to issue guidance clarifying
policies on the appropriate management of special use
airspace within DOD, and on policies governing access by
users from outside the DOD to special use airspace managed by
DOD. The provision would require the Secretary of Defense to
issue such guidance within 90 days of enactment of this Act,
and to provide the congressional defense committees a
briefing on such guidance within 120 days of enactment of
this Act.
The Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law
113-66) noted that: (1) developing established procedures to
integrate unmanned aircraft systems into the National
Airspace System will be very important in allowing both DOD
and non-DOD entities to train with and operate unmanned
aircraft systems on a routine basis; and (2) developing these
procedures could include the use of FAA-designated DOD non-
regulatory special use airspace.
Subsequently, DOD released guidance to the Services and DOD
components to prescribe guidelines for local commanders to
grant access to special use airspace. DOD officials assure us
that their guidance was not intended to prevent local
commanders from exercising authority to allow access within
the DOD guidelines. Nevertheless, we understand that local
commanders have interpreted the DOD guidelines as either
allowing or preventing the local installation commander from
negotiating a memorandum of understanding (MOU) under which
access to special use airspace could be granted.
The provision would direct the Secretary of Defense to move
expeditiously to correct such misunderstandings of the
guidelines on access to special use airspace, including the
authority of local commanders to enter into a memorandum of
understanding for the use of special use airspace by any
department or agency of the Federal Government, or state
governments, to include those engaged in the Federal Aviation
Administration test range program, participating in the
Robotic Aircraft for Public Safety program, or participating
in other activities of a similar nature.
Department of Defense policies on community involvement in
Department community outreach events (sec. 1077)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 354) that would
authorize service secretaries to enter into a contract or
agreement with a non-federal civic organization to conduct or
support an air show or open house to feature any unit,
aircraft, vessel, equipment, or servicemembers under the
jurisdiction of the secretary, and would authorize the
secretary to charge or authorize a nominal admission fee to
attend a military air show or open house.
The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 355) to
amend section 974 of title 10, United States Code, to require

Management of Defense information systems
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1004) that would
amend section 2222 of title 10, United States Code, to expand
certification requirements, investment review processing and
enterprise architecture requirements from defense business
systems to all defense information technology systems.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Elsewhere in this report, we have expressed our concerns
over the Department of Defense's (DOD) ability to effectively
and efficiently acquire the information technology systems it
will need. While part of that challenge is in the acquisition
process, we also recognize that a significant problem in
DOD's larger management and oversight for IT investments. For
example, in our discussions with industry on acquisition
improvement, we received suggestions for improving the
requirements generation and validation process, as well as
aligning IT outcomes with the strategic goals of the
organization. These things require a robust management
process, and should inform acquisition, not the other way
around.
We believe that DOD has a valuable process established in
section 2222 of title 10, United States Code for dealing with
defense business systems. We see value in having that process
expanded to each of the various IT mission areas, especially
the processes that conduct business process reengineering
(BPR) prior to making acquisition decisions. Currently, the
Deputy Chief Management Officer is focused on business
systems, but we think their role could be extended to apply
process improvement and BPR techniques to DOD's other IT
mission areas as well.
We recognize it may be premature at this point, though, to
make such significant changes. We understand DOD is reviewing
its internal processes, and new leadership is looking to mold
the organization in a way to achieve its strategic goals. We
look forward to seeing how these efforts progress, and will
consider if similar actions that were proposed by the House
bill may be warranted in the future.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1006) that would
require a report on implementing certain audit reporting

The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.

We note that the Department of Defense (DOD) did not

audit by September 30, 2014, as required by section 1005 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013
(P.L. 112-239).
We expect that DOD will explain why this objective was not
achieved, describe any factors which may have impeded
achievement of the objective, and detail a remedial plan
through which DOD will address any such impediments and
proceed to validate its statement of budgetary resources as
ready for audit.
We expect that DOD will include this information in its
next semi-annual report on the Financial Improvement and
Audit Readiness (FIAR) plan, required by section 1003(b) of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010
(P.L. 111-84).

interdiction and counter-drug activities plan.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note the role of the National Guard Counter-drug mission
in ensuring the security of the U.S. Homeland. As part of

States. The agreement would also authorize the loaning of
such equipment in connection with the training of coalition

countries with which the U.S. Armed Forces plan to conduct
bilateral or multilateral training overseas during those
fiscal years.
Biennial report on programs carried out by the Department of
Defense to provide training, equipment, or other
assistance or reimbursement to foreign security forces
(sec. 1211)

(sec. 1241) that would require the Secretary of Defense, in
consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney
General, to submit a report to the appropriate committees of
Congress on the impact, if any, of the end of major combat
operations in Afghanistan on the authority to use military
force against al Qaeda, the Taliban and associated forces
under the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force or
any other available legal authority.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Report on bilateral security cooperation with Pakistan (sec.
1235)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1228) that would require the Secretary of Defense, in
consultation with the Secretary of State, to submit a
detailed report to the appropriate committees of Congress on
the nature and extent of bilateral security cooperation
between the United States and Pakistan.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
technical and clarifying amendment.
Authority to provide assistance to counter the Islamic State
in Iraq and the Levant (sec. 1236)
Following passage of the House bill and the Senate
committee-reported bill, the administration submitted to the
congressional defense committees a legislative proposal that
would authorize to be appropriated to the Iraq Train and
Equip Fund up to $1.6 billion to provide assistance to
military and other security forces of or associated with the
Government of Iraq, including Kurdish and tribal security
forces, with a national mission, to counter the Islamic State
in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
The agreement includes the proposal for the Iraq Train and
Equip Fund with certain technical and clarifying amendments.
Assistance under this section would be restricted to no more
than 25 percent of the amounts authorized until the Secretary
of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State,
submits a report on the plan for providing such assistance
and re-training and re-equipping the Iraqi Security Forces,
and the President submits a report on how such assistance
fits within a broader regional strategy.
We note the significant contribution that Kurdish security
forces have made to countering ISIL's advance. We understand
that the administration's plan includes assistance to train
and equip 3 brigades of Kurdish peshmerga. Accordingly, we
expect that a significant portion of the assistance under
this authority will be provided to meet the requirements of
the Kurdish security forces and urge the Secretary of Defense
to ensure that such assistance is delivered in a timely
manner to such forces. We further expect the Secretary of
Defense to keep the congressional defense committees fully
informed as this plan is developed and implemented, including
any arrangements to ensure that such assistance for Kurdish
security forces is promptly delivered to those forces.
The provision is also amended to add local security forces
with a national security mission to the list of forces
authorized to receive assistance under this section. We
believe that, for purposes of this section, local security
forces should include local forces that are committed to
protecting highly vulnerable ethnic and religious minority
communities in the Nineveh Plain and elsewhere from the ISIL
threat.
We note that among the lessons learned from the execution
of previous large-scale train-and-equip funds in Iraq and
Afghanistan has been the need for high-level oversight and
requirements coordination, such as through the Afghanistan
Requirements Oversight Council (AROC), to ensure that
significant expenditures from the fund are aligned with
validated requirements and subject to adequate oversight. We
expect that the Department of Defense (DOD) will utilize a
mechanism and procedures similar to the AROC in carrying out
the program under the ITEF. Therefore, we direct the
Secretary of Defense to report to the congressional defense
committees, not later than 60 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, on the procedures and mechanism DOD
will use to ensure that major expenditures from the fund are
made only pursuant to an appropriately validated need and
subject to adequate monitoring and evaluation.
Extension and modification of authority to support operations
and activities of the Office of Security Cooperation in
Iraq (sec. 1237)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1243) that would
extend through fiscal year 2015 the authority under section
1215 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), as amended, for the use of
Department of Defense funds to support the operations and
activities of the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq
(OSC-I). The provision would also clarify the kinds of
training activities that the OSC-I is authorized to conduct
in support of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and the Counter
Terrorism Service.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1231).
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would authorize the use of up to $140.0
million to support OSC-I operations and activities during
fiscal year 2015.

Limitation on military cooperation between the United States
and the Russian Federation (sec. 1241)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1221) that would
prohibit the use of Department of Defense (DOD) funds for
fiscal year 2015 for bilateral military-to-military contact
or cooperation between the Governments of the United States
and the Russian Federation until the Secretary of Defense
makes certain specified certifications to the appropriate
congressional committees regarding Russia's actions in
Ukraine, its compliance with its arms control obligations,
and its foreign military sales or transfers.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1242(e)).
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would prohibit the use of DOD funds for fiscal
year 2015 for bilateral military-to-military cooperation
between the United States and the Russia Federation until the
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of
State, certifies that Russia has ceased its occupation of
Ukrainian territory and its aggressive activities that
threaten Ukraine and North Atlantic Treaty Organization
members. The amendment authorizes the Secretary of Defense to
waive the prohibition if the Secretary determines that doing
so is in the U.S. national security interest and the
Secretary provides prior notification to the appropriate
committees of Congress, including certain specified
information.
Notification and assessment of proposal to modify or
introduce new aircraft or sensors for flight by the
Russian Federation under Open Skies Treaty (sec. 1242)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1222) that would
limit the use of funds to authorize or permit a certification
by the United States of a proposal by the Russian Federation
to change any sensor package on a Russian Open Skies
aircraft, unless certain specified conditions are met.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would require the
President, not later than 30 days after the Russian
Federation provides notification to all States Parties to the
Open Skies Treaty (Treaty) of its intention to seek
certification to change, modify, or introduce a new aircraft
or sensor under the Treaty, to notify the appropriate
committees of Congress and provide the relevant details of
the Russian proposal. The provision would also require, not
later than 30 days prior to the date of intended approval of
certification of such aircraft or sensor by the United
States, the Director of National Intelligence, jointly with
the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, and in consultation with the Secretary of State, to
submit to the appropriate committees of Congress an
assessment of the national security implications for the
United States of any new aircraft or sensor proposed to be
deployed by the Russian Federation under the Treaty. Further,
the provision would require that any such assessment include
a description of any plans by the United States to mitigate
any negative effect of the proposed new Russian sensor or
aircraft on the national security of the United States,
including an analysis of the costs and effectiveness of any
such plans.
In any case where an assessment of national security
implications is prepared in response to this provision, we
expect the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to take into
account the views of the relevant regional and functional
combatant commander on the security implications of a
proposed Russian change in aircraft or sensor for Open Skies
overflights in their assigned area of responsibility. We note
that the Department of Defense committed to provide
information concerning the views of relevant regional and
functional combatant commanders relating to proposals under
the Treaty to the committees in November 2014.
Limitations on providing certain missile defense information
to the Russian Federation (sec. 1243)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1223) that would
extend by 1 year the limitations in section 1246(c) of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014
(Public Law 113-66) on providing certain missile defense
information to the Russian Federation. The provision would
also place limitations on providing information to the
Russian Federation concerning the velocity at burnout of
United States missile defense interceptors or targets.
The Senate committee-reported bill included a similar
provision (sec. 1266).
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Report on non-compliance by the Russian Federation with its
obligations under the INF Treaty (sec. 1244)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1225) that would
require the President to submit a report to Congress on the
status of efforts to hold the Russian Federation accountable
for its violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces
(INF) Treaty, and on the President's assessment as to whether
it remains in the national security interests of the United
States to remain a party to the INF Treaty and related
treaties while the Russian Federation is in non-compliance
with the INF Treaty.
The Senate committee-passed bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would require the
President to submit, not later than 90 days after the
enactment of this Act, a report to the appropriate
congressional committees on Russian non-compliance with the
INF Treaty, including elements set forth in section 1061 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014
(Public Law 113-66). It would also require the Department of
State, jointly with the Department of Defense and other
appropriate agencies, to brief the appropriate congressional
committees at the time of submission of the report, and every
6 months thereafter until the Russian Federation returns to
compliance with its obligations under the INF Treaty, on the
status of efforts to resolve U.S. concerns about Russian INF
noncompliance. Finally, in the event the President determines
that Russia has deployed, or intends to deploy, systems that
violate the INF Treaty, it would require the President to
notify Congress promptly of such a determination, and any
plans to respond to such deployments.
Annual report on military and security developments involving
the Russian Federation (sec. 1245)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1227) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a detailed report
to the specified congressional committees annually through
2021 on the current and future military power of the Russian
Federation.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1243).
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense to
submit a detailed report to the appropriate congressional
committees annually through 2018 on the security and military
strategies, priorities, and capabilities of the Russian
Federation.
We expect the Secretary of Defense to consult closely with
the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of
State throughout the preparation of the report required under
this section, including to avoid duplicative reporting.
Prohibition on use of funds to enter into contracts or other
agreements with Rosoboronexport (sec. 1246)

prohibit the use of Department of Defense (DOD) funds to
enter into a contract, memorandum of understanding, or
cooperative agreement with, to make a grant to, or to provide
a loan or loan guarantee to the Russian state corporation
Rosoboronexport. The provision included a national security
waiver of this prohibition if the Secretary of Defense
submits to the congressional defense committees certain
detailed certifications.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1267).
The agreement includes the House provision with technical
and clarifying amendments. The amendment would include a
limited waiver of the prohibition with respect to contracting
for spare parts or other activities related to the
maintenance of helicopters operated by the Afghan National
Security Forces or otherwise operated by DOD only if the
Secretary submits to the congressional defense committees a
detailed certification that the waiver is in the U.S.
national security interest, based on certain determinations
by the Commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and the Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and
Logistics.
Report on the New START Treaty (sec. 1247)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1230A) that
would limit the availability of fiscal year 2015 funds for
implementation of the New START Treaty unless the Secretary
of Defense certifies that the Russian Federation has met a

provision.
The agreement includes a provision that would require the
Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff to jointly submit to the appropriate congressional
committees a report stating the reasons continued

as an implementation plan to support the strategy.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would narrow the scope of the strategy to
defense issues and remove the implementation plan
requirement.
The Defense Intelligence Agency should conduct the
appropriate defense intelligence assessments focused on the

strategy.

[[Page H8718]]

Modifications to annual report on military and security
developments involving the People's Republic of China
(sec. 1252)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1232) that would
amend subsection (b) of section 1202 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 (Public Law 106-65) to
modify the annual report on military and security
developments involving the People's Republic of China.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Military-to-military engagement with the Government of Burma
(sec. 1253)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1233) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to provide an annual report
to the congressional defense committees and the Committee on
Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign
Affairs of the House on the goals and objectives guiding
military-to-military engagement between the United States and
the Union of Burma, with a 5-year sunset.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1210) that would require a certification of certain
steps by the Government of Burma to improve conditions before
security assistance would be authorized under this Act. The
provision also contained exceptions to that limitation for
human rights and disaster relief training, as well as a
report requirement on the strategy and plans for military-to-
military engagement between the U.S. Armed Forces and the
Burma military.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would remove the certification requirement,
combine the reporting requirements from both provisions, and
authorize the human rights and disaster relief training
contained within the Senate provision with clarifying
modifications. The agreement also provides that no Department
of Defense assistance to the Government of Burma is
authorized by this Act except as provided in this section. If
a decision is made to engage in one of the authorized
activities enumerated in subsection (a), we expect the
Secretary of Defense to provide written notification to the
Secretary of State.
We note that there remains significant progress to be made
on: establishing civilian oversight of the Burma military,
implementing human rights reform in the Burma military, and
terminating military relations with North Korea. We also note
that the Government of Burma must take significant steps
toward establishing a transparent and inclusive process to
amend the constitution of Burma, including the full
participation of the political opposition and all ethnic
minority groups in that process.
Report on Department of Defense munitions strategy of the
United States Pacific Command (sec. 1254)

from the Korean Peninsula. The provision would also require
the Secretary to brief Congress on the assessment.
The Senate committee-reported bill included no such
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We note that missile defense cooperation with allies in
Asia could be bilateral, trilateral, or multilateral.
Sense of Congress and report on Taiwan and its contribution
to regional peace and stability (sec. 1256)

require the Secretary of Defense to provide the congressional
defense committees and the Committee on Foreign Relations of
the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House
of Representatives a report on the maritime capabilities of
Taiwan. The provision also would express the sense of
Congress that the United States should consider opportunities
to help enhance the maritime capabilities of Taiwan.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would expand the report to the self-defense
capabilities of Taiwan and express a sense of Congress that
reaffirms U.S. security commitments under the Taiwan
Relations Act (Public Law 96-8).
Independent assessment of the ability of the Department of
Defense to counter anti-access and area-denial
strategies, capabilities, and other key technologies of
potential adversaries (sec. 1257)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 221) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
task the Defense Science Board or other independent group to
examine the potential specific challenges to U.S. military
technological superiority within the next 10 years, and the
specific planned responses by the Department of Defense (DOD)
to meet these challenges.
The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1237)
that would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into an
agreement with an independent entity to conduct an assessment
of anti-access and area-denial (A2AD) strategies and
capabilities that pose a threat to security in the Asia-
Pacific region and strategies to mitigate such threats.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense to task
an independent entity to conduct an assessment of the ability
of the DOD to counter A2AD strategies, capabilities, and
other key technologies that could be implemented by potential
adversaries.
In the annual report to Congress on ``Military and Security
Developments Involving the People's Republic of China 2014,''
the Department of Defense notes that China continues to
sustain investments in key anti-access and area denial
capabilities to deter or counter third-party intervention in
the region. The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology and Logistics has warned that America's
``technological superiority is not assured,'' and that ``the
Department of Defense is being challenged in ways that I have
not seen for decades, particularly in the Asia-Pacific
region.'' We share this concern and believe that an
independent assessment could help focus the Department's
investments and strategic thinking on these challenges.
We remain concerned by questions regarding the relative
U.S. advantages in technological capabilities, which could be
undercut as advanced technologies continue to proliferate.
The potential for greater technological parity among
adversaries carries the risk of U.S. military forces
operating without the traditional level of overmatch needed
to succeed swiftly in a contingency, which raises further
questions about the impact that the loss of technological
superiority would have on the freedom of U.S. action in
securing national security objectives. These questions merit
examination in the assessment.
Elsewhere in this Act, we require the Secretary of Defense
to report on the Department's munitions strategy for United
States Pacific Command, based on a provision in the House
bill (sec. 1234). However, we believe that some of the
reporting elements contained in the House bill would be
better suited to this independent assessment. These include
assessing other countries' munitions programs, capabilities,
and technologies that could challenge U.S. deployed forces
and military systems, and providing recommendations for how
the United States can counter these challenges or restore,
maintain, or expand U.S. military technological advantages in
munitions.
We expect, as part of the information, data, resources, and
analyses provided to the independent entity, the Department
also provide a baseline description of the counter-
A2AD policies, strategies, force posture, programs,
capabilities, systems and technologies that are currently
in place or funded.
Sense of Congress reaffirming security cooperation with Japan
and the Republic of Korea (sec. 1258)
The House bill contained provisions (sec. 1238 and 1239)
that would express the sense of Congress to reaffirm the U.S.
security commitment to Japan and the Republic of Korea.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes a merger of the two House provisions
with clarifying amendments.
Report on maritime security strategy in the Asia-Pacific
region (sec. 1259)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1245) that would require the President to submit to the
congressional defense committees a report that outlines the
strategy of the Department of Defense with regard to maritime
security in the South China Sea and East China Sea. The
provision would also require an annual briefing on the
military to military engagement with the People's Republic of
China.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We direct that, not later than March 15, 2015, the
Secretary of Defense shall provide the congressional defense
committees a briefing (in classified form, if appropriate) on
the following:
(1) An assessment of the military to military engagements
between the United States and the People's Republic of China
in the previous 12 months, before March 15, 2015, including
an assessment of the success of such engagements in meeting
the objectives of the Commander of the United States Pacific
Command for such engagements; and
(2) A detailed description of all planned and potential
military to military engagements between the United States
and the People's Republic of China for the next 12 months,
after March 15, 2015, including the objectives of such
engagements.
Sense of Congress on Taiwan maritime capabilities and
exercise participation (sec. 1259A)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1212) that would express the sense of the Senate that
both Taiwan and the People's Republic of China

[[Page H8719]]

should be afforded the opportunity to participate in the
humanitarian assistance and disaster relief portions of
future multilateral exercises.
The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1236).
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would incorporate a section of the sense of
Congress from the House provision.
Modification of matters for discussion in annual reports of
United States-China Economic and Security Review
Commission (sec. 1259B)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1244) that would revise and update the matters for
discussion of the annual report of the United States-China
Economic and Security Review Commission.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.

Should the Secretary secure additional long-term agreements
that provide for basing arrangements to support U.S. military
operations, particularly counterterrorism operations, support
to U.S. Department of State evacuation requirements, or force
protection operational requirement of AFRICOM, we will
consider a comparable acquisition preference.
Treatment of the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic
Union of Kurdistan under the Immigration and Nationality
Act (sec. 1264)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1249) that would
authorize the Secretary of State, after consulting with the
Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General, or
the Secretary of Homeland Security, after consulting with the
Secretary of State and Attorney General, to exclude the
Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of

and clarifying amendment.
Prohibition on integration of missile defense systems of
China into missile defense systems of United States and
sense of Congress concerning integration of missile
defense systems of Russia into missile defense systems of
NATO (sec. 1265)
The House Bill included a provision (sec. 1250) that would
limit the availability of fiscal year 2015 funds to integrate
missile defense systems of China into missile defense systems
of the United States. It would also limit the availability of
funds to integrate missile defense systems of Russia into
missile defense systems of the United States if such

interests and that may be inconsistent with an arms control
treaty to which the United States is a party, and such case
is not included in the most recent annual arms control
compliance report, or is significantly different from a case
included in such report. If the President receives such a
notification from the Secretary of Defense, the provision

this assessment will analyze the integration of such units
into relevant policies, plans, and reviews, to include, but

to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the

Sense of Congress on defense modernization by NATO countries

express the sense of Congress that the defense modernization
program of Poland presents an important opportunity for
strengthening the U.S.-Poland bilateral relationship.

The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would express the sense of Congress that the
United States should work with North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO) members as they seek to modernize their
defense capabilities to encourage them to procure defense
systems, including air and missile defense systems, that are
interoperable with NATO defense systems and help fill
critical NATO shortfalls.
We agree with the NATO Wales Summit Declaration, issued by
heads of state on September 5, 2014, that it is important
that the NATO member states ``reverse the trend in declining
defence budgets, to make the most effective use of our funds
and to further a more balanced sharing of costs and
responsibilities.''
We, therefore, support NATO member states like the Republic
of Poland that are planning to invest significantly in the
modernization of their defense capabilities, including
Poland's decision to procure air and missile defense systems
for the Polish Army by 2022. We understand Poland's overall
investment plan will bring it above the 2 percent of gross
domestic product pledge for NATO members' national defense
spending, which was reaffirmed by NATO in Wales. We believe
these are important investments that could contribute to key
alliance security commitments.
We direct the Secretary of Defense to report to the
congressional defense committees, and the Committee on
Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign
Affairs of the House, not later than 60 days after enactment
of this Act, on the benefits to the security of the Alliance
that would result from the procurement of interoperable
American air and missile defense technology by NATO members.

The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense to
conduct a review of the force posture, readiness, and
responsiveness of U.S. forces and the forces of other North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members in Europe, and
the contingency plans for those U.S. forces, to ensure they
are appropriate to meet the obligation of collective self-
defense under the North Atlantic Treaty. The amendment would
also require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with
the Secretary of State, to submit a report to the appropriate
committees of Congress on a strategy and plans for enhancing
security and stability in Europe. The report would include a
plan for reassuring NATO members regarding the U.S. and NATO
commitments to collective self-defense under the North
Atlantic Treaty, and a plan on enhancing U.S. security
cooperation with NATO partner nations.
We expect that at the time the report required under this
section is submitted, the Department of Defense will brief
the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and the House of
Representatives on the findings of the review, including
those relating to U.S. contingency plans. We also expect the
Secretary of Defense, in developing the plan on enhancing
U.S. security cooperation with NATO partner nations, to take
into consideration a partner nation's commitment to upholding
and enhancing regional security and stability.

technical amendment to the reporting requirement in the
Senate provision.

reasonably used or adapted for use to deliver chemical,
nuclear or biological weapons.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would make technical and clarifying changes to
the provision.
Requirement for on-site managers (sec. 1332)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1332) that would require, before obligating any
Cooperative Threat Reduction funds for a project in the
former Soviet Union or a project that involves dismantlement,
destruction, storage or construction of a facility or for
which the total program funding exceeds $50,000,000, that
there shall be appointed an on-site manager from employees of
the Federal Government.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would make technical and clarifying changes to
the provision.

The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would require seeking all permits before
obligating 40 percent of the total costs of that phase of the
project. The agreement also includes an amendment that would

Limitation on availability of funds for Cooperative Threat
Reduction activities with Russian Federation (sec.1334)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1303) that would
limit Cooperative Threat Reduction funding in fiscal year
2015 to the Russian Federation until the Secretary of
Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State,
certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that
Russia is respecting the sovereignty of Ukrainian territory,
no longer acting inconsistently with

[[Page H8724]]

the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty, and in
compliance with the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in
Europe. The provisions would also include a waiver for the
Secretary of Defense, pending a notification, in coordination
with the Secretary of State, to the appropriate congressional
committees that such contact or cooperation is in the
national security interest of the United States and a period
of 30 days has elapsed following the notification.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would prohibit funding for Cooperative Threat
Reduction programs in Russia beyond fiscal year 2015 without
specific authorization from Congress.
We support threat reduction programs and understand the
importance of the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program,
but we also believe that the traditional manner in which the
program's activities have been carried out in the Russian
Federation is no longer necessary and no longer sustainable.
While there still may be areas of technical cooperation that
are of mutual benefit, such as the successful cooperative
effort to rid Syria of chemical weapons and materials, this
work in the future should be focused on specific threats, and
not just a continuation of effort. Moreover, the CTR program
may not be the most appropriate mechanism under which future
cooperative work in Russia is conducted. The United States
relationship with Russia has changed fundamentally and the
CTR work in the Russian Federation is concluding. We believe
that securing and destroying nuclear weapons and nuclear
material is now a Russian responsibility and one that the
United States should no longer fund without Russian
cooperation. Any work proposed by the Department under CTR in
the future with the Russian Federation will be carefully
reviewed and subject to specific authorization.

PART III--RECURRING CERTIFICATIONS AND REPORTS

Annual certifications on use of facilities being constructed
for Department of Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction
projects or activities (sec. 1341)

of the former Soviet Union where it is constructed, whether
the government of such state remains committed to the use of
such facility for its intended purpose, and whether the
actions needed to ensure security at the facility have been
taken.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would replace ``state of the former Soviet
Union'' with ``foreign country.'' The agreement also includes
the Senate provision with an amendment that would make
technical and clarifying changes to the provision.
Requirement to submit summary of amounts requested by project
category (sec. 1342)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1342) that would require, in the annual report and
budget submission for the Cooperative Threat Reduction
program, a descriptive summary of the amounts requested for
each project category for the current and following fiscal
year and a descriptive summary for each project category of
the amounts obligated and expended in the prior fiscal year
and the current fiscal year.

amendment that would make technical and clarifying changes to
the provision.

and modernize the National Guard and Reserve Components as an
operational reserve and for their domestic support missions,
to include legacy aircraft as part of the Aerospace Control
Alert (ACA) mission, remains a concern. We believe,
therefore, additional funds are necessary to reduce high
priority operational and dual-use equipment shortfalls.
Accordingly, we expect these funds to be used for the
purposes of, but not limited to, meeting the fiscal year 2015
unfunded equipment priorities of the Reserve Components as
reported to Congress under section 10543(c) of title 10,
United States Code. The funds may also be used by the
National Guard and Reserve Components for the procurement of:
aircraft, including associated replacements or upgrades for
avionics, radars, and fuel tanks; tactical missiles; wheeled
and tracked combat and tactical vehicles, including
associated replacements or upgrades for mobility,
survivability, and lethality, such as weapons stations;
ammunition; small arms; tactical radios; non-system training
devices; command, control, and logistics automation systems;
shelters, and other critical dual-use items.

continue existing limitations under section 1513 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008
(Public Law 110-181), as amended, on the use of funds in the
Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (ASFF).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1523).
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would also extend the authority under
subsection 1531(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) to accept certain
equipment procured using ASFF funds and to treat such
equipment as Department of Defense stocks. The agreement
would condition the acceptance of equipment procured with
ASFF funds authorized under this Act on: (1) the Secretary of
Defense submitting to the congressional defense committees a
detailed report on the equipment procurement process in
Afghanistan; and (2) the Commander, U.S. Forces Afghanistan
making certain determinations regarding the equipment to be
accepted under this authority. These determinations would be
provided to the congressional defense committees as part of
the quarterly reports on the exercise of this authority.
In extending the authority under subsection 1531(d) of
Public Law 113-66, we expect that this authority will be
utilized only in limited circumstances and should not be
broadly available for accepting equipment that has been
damaged after it was transferred to the Afghan security
forces.
Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund (sec. 1533)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1522) that would

Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund and would thereby
provide the Director of the Joint Improvised Explosive Device
Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) with the authority to
investigate, develop, and provide equipment, supplies,
services, training, facilities, personnel, and

[[Page H8727]]

funds to assist United States forces in the defeat of
improvised explosive devices for Operation Enduring Freedom
or any successor operation to that operation. The provision
would also extend JIEDDO's authority with respect to homemade
explosives, and would sunset this authority on December 31,
2015. The provision would also direct the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to present
to the congressional defense committees a plan to consolidate
any enduring functions of the stated organizations,
capabilities, and funding into an appropriate organization
identified as part of that review.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund (sec. 1534)
A proposed amendment to the Senate committee-reported bill
(amendment number 3875) contained a provision that would
authorize the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
European Reassurance Initiative (sec. 1535)
A proposed amendment to the Senate committee-reported bill
(amendment number 3875) contained a provision (sec. 1527)
that would specify the purposes for which amounts authorized
to be appropriated for the European Reassurance Initiative
(ERI) could be used and provide other limitations on the use
of such funds.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment clarifying that for fiscal year 2015 $1.0 billion
is authorized to be appropriated in Overseas Contingency
Operations funds for the ERI. The amendment would also
provide that of these funds not less than $75.0 million would
be available for programs, activities, and assistance to
support Ukraine, and not less than $30.0 million would be
available for programs and activities to build the capacity
of European allies and partner nations. Amounts specified for
the ERI fund would be available for the purposes of ERI
through September 30, 2016.
We are deeply concerned about the ongoing violations of
Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and note that
a provision in another section of this title expresses the
sense of Congress in support of providing Ukraine military
assistance, both non-lethal and lethal assistance, that is
defensive and non-provocative.
We are also concerned about the potential spread of the
unconventional and hybrid warfare tactics used by Russia in
Ukraine to other countries in the region, potentially
including the Baltic countries, Moldova, and Georgia. We urge
the Secretary of Defense to devote the appropriate level of
planning and resources, including resources under the ERI, to
countering the threat posed by these unconventional and
hybrid warfare tactics.
Plan for transition of funding of United States Special
Operations Command from supplemental funding for overseas
contingency operations to recurring funding for future-
years defense programs (sec. 1536)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1521) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
provide the congressional defense committees, as part of the

transition appropriate U.S. Special Operations Command
funding from the Overseas Contingency Operations budget to
the base budget over the future years defense program to
maintain critical and enduring special operations
capabilities.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.

LEGISLATIVE PROVISION NOT ADOPTED

Codification of Office and Management and Budget criteria
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1524) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to implement specified
criteria in requests for Overseas Contingency Operations
(OCO).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the criteria for OCO funding requests
developed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
deciding whether funding for programs properly belongs in the
base or OCO requests have not been updated in over 4 years.
While these criteria have been somewhat successful in
delineating between these two sources of funding and have
facilitated OCO funding requests for the Department of
Defense (DOD), there have been significant fact-of-life world
events which dictate a need to re-examine and update those
criteria. It is also unclear how the guidance is applied to
DOD reprogramming requests submitted to Congress for emergent
requirements. OMB should ensure the criteria remain relevant
and adaptable for evaluating DOD budget and reprogramming
requests. We encourage DOD to evaluate the OCO criteria on a
regular basis to ensure proper delineation of base and OCO
budget requests. We would expect OMB to update the OCO
criteria in time to support the FY 2016 budget submission.

Title XVI--Strategic Programs, Cyber, and Intelligence Matters

SUBTITLE A--SPACE ACTIVITIES

Department of Defense Space Security and Defense Program
(sec. 1601)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1601) that
states a sense of Congress that critical U.S. space systems
face a growing foreign threat, that both the People's
Republic of China (PRC) and the Russian Federation are
developing capabilities to disrupt the use of space by the
United States during a conflict, and that a fully developed,
multi-faceted approach is needed to deter and defeat any
adversary's acts of aggression in outer space. The provision
directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees not later than 180 days
after the date of the enactment of this Act that assesses the
ability of the Department of Defense to deter and defeat any
adversary's act of aggression in outer space. In addition,
this section would direct the Secretary, acting through the
Office of Net Assessment, to conduct a study and provide a
report to the congressional defense committees not later
than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act of
potential alternate defense and deterrent strategies in
response to the existing and projected counterspace
capabilities of PRC and the Russian Federation.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Evolved expendable launch vehicle notification (sec. 1602)

congressional committees with notification of each change to
the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) acquisition plan
and schedule as compared to the plan and schedule included in
the budget submitted by the President for fiscal year 2015.
The notification would include an identification of the
change, a national security rationale for the change, the
impact of the change on the EELV block buy contract, the
impact of the change on the opportunities for competition for
certified EELV launch providers, and the costs or savings of
the change. The notification requirement would apply to
fiscal years 2015, 2016, and 2017.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require the notification be sent to the
appropriate congressional committees at the time of the
budget submission for fiscal year 2016 and 2017, and it would
not require such notification if no change has occurred
relative to the fiscal year 2015 budget submission.
Satellite communications responsibilities of Executive Agent
for Space (sec. 1603)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1603) that would
direct the Secretary of Defense to revise Department of

Agent (EA) for Space, with respect to the development of
space strategies, architectures and programs for satellite
communications.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would add coordination with the commanders of
the combatant commands.
We direct the Secretary of Defense to report to the
congressional defense committees, within 90 days of the
enactment of this Act, on DOD's satellite communications
organization structure. The report shall include a review of
the efficiency and effectiveness of the DOD's current
satellite communications organizational structure. It shall
also include a recommendation to strengthen the DOD's
leadership and acquisition structure of satellite
communications in a manner which improves strategic planning
and lowers costs through more efficient acquisition
approaches to meet the DOD's related requirements.
Specifically, the Secretary shall assess the merits and
challenges of designating the Commander of the Air Force
Space Command's Space and Missile Systems Center as the DOD's
single acquisition agent for wideband satellite
communications not later than fiscal year 2017. If the
Secretary disagrees with this proposition the report must
demonstrate and give a plan to implement an organization
structure that brings coherency to the satellite
communications acquisition process. The acquisition of
commercial satellite communications is currently at best ad
hoc, expensive, and reliant on Overseas Contingency
Operations funding with little long-term planning, and is not
strategically and efficiently aligned with the acquisition of
military wideband satellite communications.
Rocket propulsion system development program (sec. 1604)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1604) that would
direct the Secretary of Defense to develop a next-generation
liquid rocket engine authorized at $220.0 million for fiscal
year 2015. In carrying out the program, the Secretary would
be required to coordinate with the Administrator of the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration, to the extent
practicable. The provision also contained a sense of Congress
that the engine be made in the United States, meet the
requirements of the national security space community,
developed not later than 2019 using full and open
competition, and available for purchase by all space launch
providers of the United States.

[[Page H8728]]

provision (sec. 1629) that would require the Secretary of
Defense to develop a program plan for the production of a
liquid rocket engine to support national security launch
missions by no later than 2019.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would direct the Secretary of Defense to
develop a rocket propulsion system that is made in the United
States, is developed no later than 2019 using full and open
competition, meets the requirements of the national security
space community, and is available for purchase by all space
launch providers of the United States.
We note that this provision is not an authorization of
funds for the development of a new launch vehicle. This
provision is for the development of a rocket propulsion
system to replace non-allied space launch engines by 2019.
The Secretary should coordinate with the Administrator of
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, to the
extent practicable, to ensure that the rocket propulsion
system developed under subsection meets objectives that are
common to both the national security space community and the
civil space program of the United States.
Pilot program for acquisition of commercial satellite
communication services (sec. 1605)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1605) that would

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417).
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would extend the analysis required by section
911(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181) through fiscal year 2030, and
make other clarifying changes.
Allocation of funds for the Space Security and Defense
Program; report on space control (sec. 1607)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1622) that would require a preponderance of the funds
used within the Space Security and Defense Program be
allocated to offensive space control and active defense
strategies with a statement on the use of such funds at the
time of the President's budget submission to Congress.

(sec. 1623) that would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from
entering into a new contract or renewing a current contract
for space launch activities from any person if that person
purchases supplies critical for space launch activities
covered by the contract from a Russian entity. The provision
contained a waiver from the prohibition for U.S. national
security interests and if space launch services and
capabilities could not be obtained at a fair and reasonable
price without the purchase of supplies critical for space
launch activities from a Russian entity.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from
awarding or renewing a contract for the procurement of
property or services for space launch activities under the
Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program if the contract
carries out such activities using rocket engines designed or
manufactured in the Russian Federation. The provision
includes the waiver from the Senate provision. The provision
exempts the placement of orders or the exercise of options
under contract FA8811-13-C-0003, awarded on December 18,
2013, or unless the Secretary, upon advice of the General
Counsel of the Department of Defense, certifies to the
congressional defense committees that the offeror of a
contract has provided sufficient documentation to
conclusively demonstrate that prior to February 1, 2014, the
offeror had either fully paid for or entered into a legally
binding commitment for rocket engines designed or
manufactured in the Russia Federation.
Assessment of evolved expendable launch vehicle program (sec.
1609)

Availability of additional rocket cores pursuant to
competitive procedures (sec. 1611)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1626) that would, based upon the Fiscal Year 2015
National Security Space Launch Forecast, require the
Secretary of Defense to make available during fiscal year
2015 one additional rocket core for open competition. The
provision also requires that between fiscal years 2015 and
2017, one additional competitive rocket core shall be made
available unless the Secretary determines that there is no
practicable way to implement this requirement while
remaining in compliance with the terms and conditions of
the 36 rocket core block buy under the Evolved Expendable
Launch Vehicle (EELV) program. Upon making such a
determination, the Secretary shall certify within 45 days
that there is no practicable way to add the second
additional rocket core for open competition as well as
describing the basis for such a determination and
providing both to the congressional defense committees. A
proposed amendment to the Senate committee-reported bill
(amendment number 3824) contained a provision that would
make technical and conforming changes.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with technical
and conforming amendments.
Limitations on availability of funds for weather satellite
follow-on system and Defense Meteorological Satellite
program (sec. 1612)

direct the Secretary of the Air Force to place the last
remaining satellite of the Defense Meteorological Satellite
Program (DMSP) on the launch manifest for the Evolved
Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program. Additionally, this
section would direct the Secretary of the Air Force to
establish an additional launch, for acquisition in fiscal
year 2015, under the EELV program, using full and open
competition among certified providers. The House bill would
also fence 75 percent of the funds for the weather satellite
follow-on system until the Secretary submits to the
congressional defense committees the plan to meet the
meteorological and oceanographic collection requirements
validated by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1628) that would prohibit funding the storage of the
last DMSP unless the Secretary of Defense certifies to the
congressional defense committees that the Department of
Defense (DOD) intends to launch the satellite, will have
sufficient funding to do so in the future years defense
program, and that storing the satellite until a launch in
2020 is the most cost-effective approach to meeting the
requirements of DOD.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that removes both the direction to launch the DMSP
satellite and the addition of a competition launch. The
agreement would limit 50 percent of the funds for the follow-
on weather satellite until the Secretary of Defense submits
to the congressional defense committees a plan to meet the
meteorological and oceanographic collection requirements of
the Joint Requirements Oversight Council, including the
requirements of the combatant commands, military departments
and agencies of the DOD. The Government Accountability Office
(GAO) shall review the plan and the Analysis of Alternatives
to determine if it meets best practices and fully addresses
the concerns of the acquisition, operational and user
communities, including how DOD assessed and dealt with cost,
schedule and risks posed by each alternative considered.

[[Page H8729]]

The agreement also includes a prohibition on storage of
DMSP, unless the Secretary of Defense intends to launch the
satellite and that storing the satellite until the
anticipated launch is the most cost-effective approach to
meeting the requirements of DOD. If the Secretary of Defense
decides not to launch the satellite, the Secretary of Defense
must certify that the related requirements of the DOD will be
met. The agreement also includes a review of the
certification report by GAO.
Limitation on availability of funds for space-based infrared
systems space data exploitation (sec. 1613)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 216) that would
limit obligation or expenditure of funds authorized by this
Act to not more than 50 percent for the data exploitation
under the Space-Based Infrared Systems (SBIRS) space
modernization initiative, which funds modernization and
evolution of technologies to meet the SBIRS mission, until
the Secretary of the Air Force delivers a certification to
the congressional defense committees that the limited funds
available for this effort will be used in support of data
exploitation of the current SBIRS program of record,
including the scanning and staring sensor; or that the data
from the current SBIRS program of record, including the
scanning and staring sensor, is being fully exploited and no
further efforts are warranted.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require the Secretary of the Air Force
make the certification as the Department of Defense Executive
Agent for Space.
We direct the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to
conduct an overhead persistent infrared assessment. Such
assessment shall include input from the Joint Staff and each
of the combatant commands, including the component commands,
detailing how they currently integrate, and plan to
integrate, the use of overhead persistent infrared
capabilities to pursue their assigned mission areas. Such
assessment shall be delivered to the congressional defense
committees in the form of a report by April 1, 2015.

testbed alternative approaches to the Space-Based Infrared
Systems (SBIRS) program of record until completion and
briefing to the appropriate congressional committees on the
analysis of alternatives (AOA).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would release 75 percent of the funds
authorized to be appropriated upon completion and submittal
of the AOA to the appropriate congressional committees, with
the remaining 25 percent to be released 30 days after
receiving the briefing as described in the House provision.
We direct the U.S. Comptroller General of the United States
to review the AOA for SBIRS to determine the extent that the
Department met AOA best practices and fully addressed the
concerns of the acquisition, operational, and user
communities. Further, the Comptroller General shall review
how the Department identified the requirements and assessed
and addressed the cost, schedule, and risks posed for each
alternative in the AOA. The Comptroller General shall provide
the results of the review to the appropriate congressional
committees within 180 days from receipt of the AOA, and also
provide an interim briefing within 90 days.

briefing to the congressional defense committees on the
analysis of alternatives (AOA).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would release 75 percent of the funds
authorized to be appropriated upon completion and submittal
of the AOA with the remaining 25 percent released 30 days
after receiving the briefing as described in the House
provision. The agreement also includes other clarifying
amendments that make clear the restriction is not intended to
limit technology insertions to current satellite
communication programs of record.
We direct the Comptroller General of the United States to
review the reliability of the MILSTAR system, including
terminals and maintenance and its effect on readiness as well
as the phasing of the AEHF and Family of Advanced Beyond the
line of sight Terminals (FAB-T) system to determine whether
there will be a timely replacement of the MILSTAR system so
as to not further degrade reliability and readiness of the
existing communications architecture. The Comptroller General
shall present an initial assessment to the congressional
defense committees in the form of a briefing no later than
March 31, 2015, with a final briefing no later than September
30, 2015.
We also direct the Comptroller General to review the AOA
for AEHF to determine the extent that the Department of
Defense (DOD) met AOA best practices and fully addressed the
concerns of the acquisition, operational, and user
communities. Further, the Comptroller General shall review
how DOD identified the requirements and assessed and
addressed the cost, schedule, and risks posed for each

The provision also would require the TENCAP executive agent
to provide an annual briefing to the congressional defense
and intelligence committees for fiscal years 2016-20 on the
investments, activities, challenges, and opportunities in
carrying out the TENCAP program.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would make technical and conforming changes
regarding the designation of a TENCAP executive agent. We
agree that the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence
should designate a TENCAP executive agent through the use of
an existing billet. We do not intend to create new standalone
positions to support this function.

that the insider threat program is appropriately coordinated
and resourced.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would require the Secretary to report to
Congress on the Department's plans to address the elements
contained in the provision.
We also note that the study by the Director of Cost
Analysis and Program Evaluation (CAPE) of the Office of
Personnel Management's personnel investigation service for
the Department of Defense made a number of recommendations
for additional phases of CAPE's assessment. We endorse the
CAPE recommendations for Phase 2A and 2B actions,
specifically: improvements to workflow scheduling, limiting
investigations to those requiring access to classified
information; establishing a business practice working group
to achieve efficiencies (such as cost savings from economies
of scale); the efficacy of information technology
investments, quality control practices, enhancing
competition; and rationalizing the mix of government and
contract investigators.

within 3 years of the date of enactment of this Act, to
migrate the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS),
including the so-called Red Disk or any successor to Red Disk
under development at the Army Intelligence and Security
Command, to an open systems architecture. The provision would
require that the DCGS open systems architecture be compliant
with the Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise open
architecture.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.

SUBTITLE C--CYBERSPACE-RELATED MATTERS

Budgeting and accounting for cyber mission forces (sec. 1631)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1643) that would require that the Secretary of Defense,
for fiscal year 2017 and every succeeding year, for the
President's annual budget submission and supporting
documents, to develop a major force program (MFP) category
and program elements for the Department of Defense (DOD)
future years defense program for the training, arming, and
equipping of the cyber mission forces. The provision would
also require the Secretary to assess the feasibility and
advisability of establishing a general fund transfer account
to execute the funds programmed in the MFP and provide a
recommendation to the congressional defense committees by
April 1, 2015.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We note that for several years, as the importance of cyber
operations investments has grown, the congressional defense
committees have been urging DOD to improve how it categorizes
and displays its budget justification documentation. In
embarking on the process of developing a major force program,
we believe it is important for DOD to adopt a taxonomy that
remains consistent over several years. We understand that the
Department is responding to budget guidance from the Office
of Management and Budget, as well as changing priorities from
new leadership, but these fluctuations in taxonomy result in
an inconsistent and moving baseline that masks real annual
changes in budget and execution levels.
Reporting on cyber incidents with respect to networks and
information systems of operationally critical contractors
(sec. 1632)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1645) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to
establish procedures for designating contractors as
``operationally critical contractors,'' notifying such
contractors that they have been designated, and requiring
designated contractors to report successful penetrations
of their computer networks by known or suspected advanced
persistent threat actors. The provision narrowly defines
an operationally critical contractor as a company
designated by the Secretary as a critical source of supply
for airlift, sealift, intermodal transportation services,
or logistical support that is essential to mobilization,
deployment, or sustainment in a contingency operation.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We fully share the concern of industry and the Department
of Defense (DOD) about harmonizing reporting on cyber
intrusions to eliminate redundant reporting. We direct the
Secretary to ensure that contractor reporting to DOD, and the
dissemination of such reporting, is coordinated with
reporting to the Director of National Intelligence and other
government agencies.
Executive agents for cyber test and training ranges (sec.
1633)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1621) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to establish an executive
agent to coordinate and oversee the management of the various
cyber and information technology test and training ranges
being developed and deployed by the Department of Defense
(DOD).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would make technical changes and require the
Secretary to designate two cyber range executive agents from
among existing DOD personnel, one for test ranges and one for
training ranges; and to consult with the Principal Cyber
Advisor in designating the executive agents. The amendment
also would require the executive agents, in consultation with
the DOD Chief Information Officer, to jointly designate a
standard language from among existing open source candidates
for expressing cyber event and threat data in machine-
readable form for use in the Joint Information Environment
and the range environment.
We note that for several years, the Armed Services
Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives have
expressed concerns over how the DOD has managed its cyber
range resources. While we recognize that DOD has developed
and maintained a core set of capabilities, we have observed
first-hand that the lack of coordination of those
capabilities has left DOD in a situation where the current
ranges do not support the tools and capabilities that cyber
operators

[[Page H8731]]

would use in the real world. Unlike in live training for
kinetic operations, in cyberspace, we do not train like we
fight. We believe that the integrated plan required by these
executive agents is a necessary tool to create
standardization between training and operational tools, as
well as to ensure that DOD is investing in adequate range
resources to meet unit-level training requirements for the
force structure being defined by U.S. Cyber Command.
One reason that we have tasked these executive agents to
designate a standard language for cyber event and threat data
reporting is to better ensure that there is standardization
of these capabilities across the range and operational
networks. Not only is this a fundamental capabilities needed
by cyber forces, it would also set a valuable precedent for
ensuring that the capabilities that are used on live,
operational networks are the same tools that would be used in
a test or training environment. We firmly believe that any
standard designated by these executive agents should swiftly
be transitioned to use on the operational networks of the
Joint Information Environment.
In designating the two required executive agents, we
believe that the Secretary should consider two important
factors. First, the Test Resource Management Center (TRMC)
already fills a similar role for the test range complex, and
would make a logical choice to take on the responsibilities
for the test range executive agent. Second, we believe that
the training range executive agent should be the
responsibility of one of the military departments, since they
have the operational imperative to maintain training
readiness, as well as the resources to sustain and upgrade
training range capabilities over time.
Cyberspace mapping (sec. 1634)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1641) that would require the Secretary of Defense,
within 60 days of the date of enactment of this Act, to
designate a network or network segment within the Department
of Defense (DOD) to support the execution of a pilot program
to demonstrate large-scale cyberspace mapping technology, as
approved by the Cyber Investment Management Board (CIMB). The
provision also would require the Principal Cyber Advisor,
within 180 days of enactment of this Act, to recommend policy
to the Secretary of Defense regarding the mapping of
cyberspace to support the missions of U.S. Cyber Command.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Review of cross domain solution policy and requirement for
cross domain solution strategy (sec. 1635)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1642) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
review the policies of the Department of Defense, and develop
a strategy concerning the procurement, approval, and use of
capabilities to transmit information across networks and
systems at different security classification levels.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Requirement for strategy to develop and deploy decryption
service for the Joint Information Environment (sec. 1636)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1614) that would require the Secretary of Defense to
develop a strategy for a decryption service for the Joint
Information Environment. The provision would require the
strategy for the decryption and re-encryption of
communications to enable the inspection of communications
content to detect cyber threats and insider threat activity.
That strategy would include a requirements definition
document, an architecture, a concept of operations, a cost
estimate, and an assessment of the security benefit of such a
service. The provision would require a briefing on the
strategy to be provided to the congressional defense and
intelligence committees by October 1, 2015.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Actions to address economic or industrial espionage in
cyberspace (sec. 1637)
A proposed amendment to the Senate committee-reported bill
(amendment number 3377) contained a provision that would
require the President to report annually to appropriate
congressional committees on countries that engage in economic
or industrial espionage in cyberspace with respect to U.S.
trade secrets or proprietary information, and on the types of
technologies and intellectual property such countries target,
what they have succeeded in stealing, and, where known, the
incorporation of such stolen property in articles, products,
or services. The report also would include the actions the
President has taken to diminish such espionage, and the
progress made towards that goal.
The provision would authorize the President, pursuant to
the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.
1701 et seq.), to block and prohibit all transactions in all
property and interests in property of each person determined
to be knowingly engaged in such espionage, if such property
and interests in property are in the United States, come
within the United States, or are or come within the
possession or control of a U.S. person.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We urge the President in implementing this provision to
harmonize the required reporting on industrial or economic
espionage through cyberspace with related reporting,
including the biennial report on the threat to U.S. industry
from foreign economic collection and industrial espionage
required by section 809(b) of Public Law 103-359.
Sense of Congress regarding role of reserve components in
defense of United States against cyber attacks (sec.
1638)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1622) that would
express the sense of Congress that the National Guard has a
valuable role to play in defending the United States against
cyber attacks.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would recognize the important capabilities and
role of all the reserve components.
We are aware that the Army National Guard is pursuing a
decision to establish ten Cyber Protection Teams (CPTs),
independent of the plans by U.S. Cyber Command to establish
68 CPTs within the active component. While we support a role
for the reserve components in Department of Defense planning
and organization to deal with cyber threats, we are concerned
that such plans are not adequately synchronized with overall
planning in this space. In particular, we are concerned about
potentially creating parallel structures, personnel and
training pathways, and authorities for such forces.
Therefore, we direct the Secretary of the Army to submit a
report to the congressional defense committees, within 90
days of the enactment of this Act, on the progress made by
the Army National Guard to establish ten CPTs to support
preparations to respond to emergencies involving an attack or
natural disaster impacting computer networks. The report
shall include the following:
(1) A timeframe for when stationing of the CPTs will be
finalized.
(2) A timeframe for activation of the CPTs and whether the
teams will be activated at the same time or staggered over
time.
(3) A description of manning and basing requirements.
(4) The number and location of nominations received for a
CPT and the activation date estimate provided in each
nomination.
(5) An assessment of the range of stated cost projections
included in the nominations.
(6) An assessment of any identified patterns regarding ease
or difficulty of staffing individuals with required
credentials within particular regions.
(7) Any additional information deemed relevant by the
Secretary.
Sense of Congress on the future of the Internet and the .MIL
top-level domain (sec. 1639)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1090E) that
would prohibit the transfer of the responsibilities of the
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
(NTIA) for Internet domain name system functions until the
Comptroller General of the United States submits a report to
Congress, within 1 year of the date on which NTIA receives a
proposal for the transfer of such responsibilities to the
Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1646) that would express the sense of Congress that the
Secretary of Defense should:
(1) Advise the President to transfer the remaining role of
the United States Government in the functions of the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to a global multi-
stakeholder community only if the President is confident that
the .mil top level domain and the Internet protocol address
numbers used exclusively by the Department of Defense (DOD)
for national security will remain exclusively used by DOD;
and
(2) Take all necessary steps to sustain the successful
stewardship and good standing of the Internet root zone
servers managed by DOD components.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would clarify how the Secretary should
provide advice in the process, as well as ensure active
participation in all transition planning and
accountability stress testing.
We understand that the arcane and esoteric process for
governing the Internet is not conducive to quick or easy
understanding by decisionmakers not intimately involved in
the process. We fear that the lack of understanding breeds
concerns that at face value appear warranted, but upon closer
examination may not be valid, or may be easily mitigated. We
believe that some improved confidence building measures and
transparency over the negotiations process would be helpful
in dispelling any misconceptions about the process.
Therefore, we direct the Secretary to submit a report to
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of
Representatives on the transition process no later than 180
days after the enactment of this Act. This report should
explain DOD's role in the negotiations process, any issues or
concerns about the status of negotiations, and any
observations related to the accountability stress testing
currently underway.

[[Page H8732]]

Furthermore, we encourage DOD and the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration to provide
regular briefings to the Committees on Armed Services of the
Senate and House or Representatives, as well as other
congressional committees, on the status of transition
planning and accountability stress testing.

provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Congressional Budget Office review of cost estimates for
nuclear weapons (sec. 1643)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1640) that would
amend 1041(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to require the
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees on an annual basis regarding
the 10-year cost of nuclear weapons programs.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 1602) that would amend section 1043 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012
(Public Law 112-81) to require the CBO to submit such a
report 120 days after submission of the report required by
section 1043 for an odd-numbered fiscal year.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would require the CBO report to be submitted
by July 1 of each year in which the President submits a
report under section 1043 for an odd-numbered fiscal year.
The amendment would also require the CBO report to include an
estimate of the relative percentage of total defense spending
represented by nuclear weapons funding during the 10-year
period. Finally, the amendment would require the Director of
the CBO to submit a letter to the congressional defense
committees if the Director determines a report under section
1043 for an even-numbered fiscal year contains a significant
change.
We expect the Director to use their best judgment regarding
whether any changes are significant enough to warrant
submission of a letter.
Retention of missile silos (sec. 1644)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1634) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to preserve each
intercontinental ballistic missile silo that contains a
deployed missile as of the date of the enactment of this Act
in, at a minimum, a warm status that enables such silo to
remain a fully functioning element of the interconnected and
redundant command and control system of the missile field and
be made fully operational with a deployed missile.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would make the requirement effective during
the period in which the New START Treaty (as defined by
section 494 (a)(2)(D) of title 10, United States Code) is in
effect. The amendment also includes a rule of construction
that would enable the Department of Defense to place a silo
offline temporarily to perform maintenance activities.
We intend that this provision would require the Secretary
to maintain the pertinent silos in a condition that permits
them to be returned to operational alert status.
Procurement authority for certain parts of intercontinental
ballistic missile fuzes (sec. 1645)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1601) that would give authority to procure commercial
parts for intercontinental ballistic missile fuses,

Reports on installation of nuclear command, control, and
communications systems at headquarters of United States
Strategic Command (sec. 1650)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1603) that would require the Commander, U.S. Strategic
Command (STRATCOM) to submit an annual report on the
installation of nuclear command, control, and communications
systems as part of the replacement of the STRATCOM
headquarters. The requirement for an annual report would
terminate at such time as when the Commander, STRATCOM
certifies to the congressional defense committees that all
milestones have been completed, and the headquarters building
is a fully functioning node in the overall NC3 architecture.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) shall review the
existing milestones and scope of the effort and provide a
technical briefing to the congressional defense committees no
later than September 30, 2014, as to whether the scope of the
current effort is complete, fully integrated, and meets
accepted programmatic planning practices.
GAO shall review the report submitted each year and provide
a briefing to the congressional defense committees on whether

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

Air Force intelligence organization
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1615) that would
express the sense of Congress that the Air Force National Air
and Space Intelligence Center provides indispensable
intelligence support, and should remain organizationally
aligned to the Headquarters Air Staff with reporting through
the Vice Chief of Staff. In addition, this section would
require the Secretary of the Air Force to submit to the
congressional defense committees and the congressional
intelligence committees a strategic plan for the intelligence
organization of the Air Force, which includes maintaining the
National Air and Space Intelligence Center alignment to the
Headquarters Air Staff.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include the House provision. We did
not recommend including this provision, since the Air Force
has provided the plan the House provision would have required
and has decided to maintain the National Air and Space
Intelligence Center directly aligned to the Headquarters Air
Staff. However, we will continue to monitor the Air Force's
implementation of its plan.
Authority for Secretary of Defense to engage in commercial
activities as security for military operations abroad
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1652) that would amend subsections 431 through 437 of
title 10, United States Code, to: (1) Allow the Secretary of
Defense to employ commercial activities as security for
military operations, in addition to existing authority for
using such activities for intelligence operations; (2) Direct
that reports of audits on commercial activities used as
security for intelligence operations as reported to the
congressional defense and intelligence committees, and
reports on audits of commercial activities used as security
for military operations, are reported to the congressional
defense committees only; and (3) Make conforming changes
throughout these subsections.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision. We believe
that this could be a useful authority, but would have to
receive better answers from the Department of Defense (DOD)
to questions that were raised after DOD requested this
authority. We would reevaluate this request in the future if
DOD continues to identify a need for the authority.
Budget increase for Aegis ballistic missile defense
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1646) that would
authorize an increase of $99.0 million for procurement of
Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) interceptors for the Aegis
ballistic missile defense system.

interceptors are included in the procurement funding table in
section 4101 of this Act.
Director of National Intelligence certification with respect
to the mission analysis for cyber operations of
Department of Defense
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1623) that would
amend section 933 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) to require the
Director of National Intelligence to certify that the
recommendations of the cyber mission analysis report by the
Secretary of Defense required by section 933 are consistent
with the cyber operations capability needs of the United
States.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the Secretary's cyber mission analysis report
did not include a certification that the Red Team personnel
and capacity in the Air National Guard are no longer required
by the Department of Defense, and may not be reduced or
reassigned without such a certification.
Independent review of the personnel reliability program of
the Department of Defense and the human reliability
program of the Department of Energy
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1632) that would
require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Energy
to jointly seek to enter into a contract with a federally
funded research and development center to conduct an
independent review of the Personnel Reliability Program (PRP)
of the Department of Defense and the Human Reliability
Program of the Department of Energy.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision. We note that
the Department of Defense is currently reviewing its PRP as
part of a broader assessment of needs within its nuclear
enterprise. We expect this review will offer significant
recommendations for modernizing PRP to make it both more
effective and more efficient. We further expect that the
Department of Energy will apply lessons learned from the
Department of Defense's review to its own, similar program.
We will continue close oversight of this matter.
Integrated plan on space launch activities of the federal
government
A proposed amendment to the Senate committee-reported bill
(amendment number 3814) contained a provision that would
require the Secretary of Defense and the Administrator of the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration to jointly, in
coordination with the National Security Council, the Director
of the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the heads
of other appropriate agencies of the Federal Government,
develop a plan to achieve the effective planning,
coordination, and execution for the civil and national
security space launch activities of the Federal Government in
order to ensure that the mission needs of the United States
of reliable, timely, and affordable access to space for all
agencies are met in a cost-effective manner.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We direct the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with
the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, and the heads of other appropriate agencies
of the Federal Government, to identify and assess
opportunities for coordination among Federal agencies in
space launch acquisition efforts, and provide a summary of
the lessons learned by the Department of Defense and the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration regarding their
launch service programs. The results of the study shall be
provided to the appropriate congressional committees in the
form of a briefing no later than December 31, 2015.
Furthermore, we direct the Government Accountability Office
(GAO) to assess the results of the study as presented in the
briefing to Congress, as well as update the related space
launch findings and recommendations reported in the 2012 GAO
Annual Report titles ``Opportunities to Reduce Duplication,
Overlap and Fragmentation, Achieve Savings, and Enhance
Revenue.'' The GAO shall provide the results of the
assessment within 90 days of receiving the briefing provided
to Congress.
Reports and briefings of Strategic Advisory Group
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1638) that would
require the Commander, U.S. Strategic Command to provide to
the congressional defense committees a copy of each briefing
and report prepared by his Strategy Advisory Group, including
any subgroup thereof and any successor advisory group,
provided to him in the previous year.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision. We are aware
that the Commander wrote to the Chairman of the House Armed
Services Committee on May 19, 2014 and committed to providing
the committees with briefings on the materials provided to
him by the Strategic Advisory Group. We believe this will be
a useful arrangement for the oversight function of the
committees. We also believe that, from time to time, it may
be necessary to receive copies of these reports, and we look
forward to working with the Commander in the event the
committees believe that it is necessary. With this
understanding, we choose not to adopt section 1638 of the
House bill at this time.
Report on governance and corruption in the Russian Federation
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1617) that would
direct the Director of National Intelligence to submit a
report on the status of governance and corruption in the
Russian Federation.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Report on reliance of Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle
program on foreign manufacturers
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1625) that would require the Government Accountability
Office to submit, within 180 days of enactment of this Act, a
report on risks of reliance on foreign manufacturers to the
Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We agree that the RAND study ``U.S. Space Launch
Capability--An Assessment of the Use of Foreign Components'',
(December 2013), as required by section 916 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law
112-239) obviates the need for an additional study at this
time.
Sense of Congress on procurement and deployment of capability
enhancement II exo-atmospheric kill vehicle
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1642) that would
express the sense of Congress that the Department of Defense
(DOD) should not procure an additional Capability
Enhancement-II (CE-II) exo-atmospheric kill vehicle for
deployment on Ground-Based Interceptors of the Ground-based
Midcourse Defense (GMD) system until a successful
operationally realistic intercept flight test of the CE-II
has occurred.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.

[[Page H8735]]

The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that, after the House bill was passed, a successful
intercept flight test of the GMD system, using an upgraded
version of the CE-II kill vehicle, took place on June 22,
2014. This successful flight test result allowed DOD to
resume assembly and delivery of GBIs with upgraded CE-II kill
vehicles for deployment.
Sense of the Senate on resolution limits on commercial space
imagery
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 1631) that would express the sense of the Senate that
the Secretary of Defense should support the relaxation of
panchromatic, spectral, and infrared imagery resolution
limits on the sale of commercial space imagery. The provision
would also require the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy
to provide a recommendation to Congress by April 1, 2015, on
the design and development of a flexible and dynamic
capability to control the collection and sale of commercial
space imagery to protect national security.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We direct the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with
the Director of National Intelligence, to brief the
congressional defense and intelligence committees on the
progress achieved in developing a flexible and dynamic
capability to control the collection and sale of commercial
space imagery to protect national security.
Theater air and missile defense of allies of the United
States
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1641) that would
require the operational deployment of the Aegis Ashore
missile defense system in Poland by December 31, 2016, and
would require the deployment of either the Patriot short-
range missile defense system or the Terminal High Altitude
Area Defense terminal missile defense system in Poland by the
end of 2014.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that a separate provision, described elsewhere in
this report, relates to regional missile defense capabilities
of the United States and its allies and partners in several
combatant command areas of responsibility.

that would establish a National Commission on the Future of
the Army to conduct a comprehensive review of the Army's
size, structure, and force mix.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (secs. 1701-1709).
The agreement includes the Senate provision with amendments
that would clarify the limitations on the authority of the
Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Army with
respect to the transfer of AH-64 Apache attack helicopters
from the Army National Guard (ARNG) to the regular Army. The
agreement also includes amendments that would clarify the
duties of such a commission.
We expect the Army and ARNG to immediately proceed with
appropriate planning and preparation activities for the
transfer of up to 48 AH-64 Apache aircraft prior to March 31,
2016. Such preparations should include all necessary
personnel and materiel-related actions required to facilitate
such transfers. We also expect the Army and ARNG to continue
the planning necessary for the potential implementation of
the rest of the Army's Aviation Restructure Initiative so
that disruptions to the readiness of the Army and ARNG are
minimized in the event that Congress approves additional
elements of the Army's plan beyond March 31, 2016.

DIVISION B--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATIONS

Summary and explanation of funding tables

construction projects of the Department of Defense. It
includes funding authorizations for the construction and
operation of military family housing as well as military
construction for the reserve components, the defense
agencies, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security
Investment Program. It also provides authorization for the
base closure accounts that fund military construction,
environmental cleanup, and other activities required to
implement the decisions of the base closure rounds.

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS ADOPTED

Short title (sec. 2001)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2001) that would
designate division B of this Act as the Military Construction
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 2001).
The agreement includes this provision.
Expiration of authorizations and amounts required to be
specified by law (sec. 2002)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2002) that would
ensure that the authorizations provided in titles XXI through
XXVII shall expire on October 1, 2017, or the date of
enactment of an act authorizing funds for military
construction for fiscal year 2018, whichever is later.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision.
This agreement includes the provision with a technical
amendment.

LEGISLATIVE PROVISION NOT ADOPTED

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2003) that would
provide that titles XXI through XXVII of this Act take effect
on October 1, 2014, or the date of enactment of this Act,
whichever is later.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.

Title XXI--Army Military Construction

Summary
The Department of Defense requested authorization of
appropriations of $539.4 million for military construction
and $429.6 million for family housing for the Army for fiscal
year 2015.
The agreement includes authorization of appropriations of
$543.4 million for military construction and $429.6 million
for family housing for the Army for fiscal year 2015.
The budget request included $96.0 million for the third of
six planned phases of construction of a Command and Control
Facility at Fort Shafter, Hawaii. We understand that all six
phases are necessary to provide for a complete facility that
meets the requirements of U.S. Army Pacific. Furthermore, we
understand that combining the remaining four phases into a
single authorized project would save the Army significant
military construction funding and accelerate facility
construction by up to 4 years.
Therefore, the agreement includes authorization of $311.4
million for the remaining four phases of the Command and
Control Facility at Fort Shafter, Hawaii. This authorization
assumes at least 10 percent savings will be achieved through
construction and contracting efficiencies. Consistent with
these efficiencies, the agreement includes an authorization
of appropriations for fiscal year 2015 of $85.0 million for
the first increment of this project.
We believe that it is inappropriate to phase, rather than
increment, large military construction projects when each
distinct phase does not fully meet the requirements of the
user and direct the Army to refrain from requesting similarly
phased projects in the future.
We recognize that in difficult budget times military
construction funding is often deferred in favor of other
priorities and note that the Army's military construction
request for fiscal year 2015 is 52 percent less than what was
requested for fiscal year 2014. Therefore, the agreement
includes authorization of $15.0 million for a Consolidated
Shipping Center at Blue Grass Army Depot, Kentucky, $46.0
million for a Simulations Center at Fort Hood, Texas, and
$86.0 million for Phase 3 of the Individual Training Barracks
Complex at Fort Lee, Virginia, the Army's top unfunded
military construction priorities.

housing units at Camp Walker, Republic of Korea (ROK), until
30 days following the delivery of a report to the
congressional defense committees validating on-post housing
requirements in the ROK, including Camp Walker and Camp
Humphries, and a plan for meeting such requirements.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.

Title XXII--Navy Military Construction

Summary
The Department of Defense requested authorization of
appropriations of $1.02 billion for military construction and
$370.4 million for family housing for the Department of the
Navy for fiscal year 2015.
The agreement includes authorization of appropriations of
$993.2 million for military construction and $370.4 million
for family housing for the Department of the Navy for fiscal
year 2015.
The budget request included $120.1 million for a Center for
Cyber Studies Building in Annapolis, Maryland. We understand
the Navy would be unable to expend the full amount of the
budget request and, therefore, the agreement includes a $90.1
million reduction.
We recognize that in difficult budget times military
construction funding is often deferred in favor of other
priorities and note that the Navy's military construction
request for fiscal year 2015 is 40 percent less than what was
requested for fiscal year 2014. Therefore, the agreement
includes authorization of $13.8 million for a Regional Ship
Maintenance Support Facility at Bangor, Washington, and
$50.7 million for a Radio Battalion Complex at Camp
Lejeune, North Carolina, the top unfunded military
construction priorities of the Navy and Marine Corps,
respectively.

Title XXIII--Air Force Military Construction

Summary
The Department of Defense requested authorization of
appropriations of $811.7 million for military construction
and $327.7 million for family housing for the Air Force in
fiscal year 2015.
The agreement includes authorization of appropriations of
$846.2 million for military construction and $327.7 million
for family housing for the Air Force in fiscal year 2015.
We recognize that in difficult budget times military
construction funding is often deferred in favor of other
priorities and note that the Air Force's military
construction request for fiscal year 2015 is 30 percent less
than what was requested for fiscal year 2014. Therefore, the
agreement includes authorization of $34.4 million for a
Corrosion Control and Composite Repair Shop at Andersen Air
Force Base, Guam, the Air Force's top unfunded military
construction priority.

Secretary of the Air Force to construct listed facilities at
any suitable location in the Northern Mariana Islands.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the Air Force is currently conducting an
environmental impact study to ``improve an existing airport
or airports and associated infrastructure in the Mariana
Islands in support of expanding mission requirements and to
achieve divert capabilities in the western Pacific.'' If
necessary, upon issuing a Record of Decision, we would
welcome a legislative proposal from the Secretary of the Air
Force to modify the scope or location for the project as
currently authorized by section 2301(a) of the Military
Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (division
B of Public Law 113-66).

Title XXIV--Defense Agencies Military Construction

Summary
The Department of Defense requested authorization of
appropriations of $2.06 billion for military construction for
the defense agencies, $150.0 million for energy conservation
projects, $38.7 million for chemical demilitarization
construction, and $61.1 million for family housing for the
defense agencies for fiscal year 2015.
The agreement includes authorization of appropriations of
$1.96 billion for military construction, $150.0 million for
energy conservation projects, $38.7 million for chemical
demilitarization construction, and $61.1 million for family
housing for the defense agencies for fiscal year 2015.
The budget request included $259.7 million for the Medical
Center Replacement at Rhine Ordnance Barracks, Germany. We
understand the Department of Defense would be unable to
expend the full amount of the budget request and, therefore,
the agreement includes a $70.0 million reduction.
The budget request included $9.0 million for Contingency
Construction. In light of unobligated balances in the
Contingency Construction account from previous years, the
agreement includes a $9.0 million reduction.
The budget request included $24.4 million for Planning and
Design. In light of unobligated balances in the Planning and
Design account from previous years, the agreement includes a
$20.0 million reduction.

Command (USSOCOM) human performance initiative, until the
Secretary of Defense submits a report on this program
required by the Joint Explanatory Statement to Accompany the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014
(Public Law 113-66) and a report on the review of Department
of Defense efforts regarding the prevention of suicide among
members of United States Special Operations Forces and their
dependents required elsewhere in this Act.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment eliminating the condition that the Secretary submit

Title XXV--North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment
Program

Summary
The Department of Defense requested authorization of
appropriations of $199.7 million for military construction in
fiscal year 2015 for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
Security Investment Program.
The agreement includes authorization of appropriations of
$174.7 million for military construction in fiscal year 2015
for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security
Investment Program.
We understand that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
Security Investment Program has expended prior year funds
more slowly than anticipated and does not require the full
requested amount for fiscal year 2015. Therefore, the
agreement includes a $25.0 million reduction.

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS ADOPTED

Authorized NATO construction and land acquisition projects
(sec. 2501)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2501) that would
authorize the Secretary of Defense to make contributions to
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment

Title XXVI--Guard and Reserve Forces facilities

Summary
The Department of Defense requested authorization of
appropriations of $426.5 million for military construction in
fiscal year

[[Page H8738]]

2015 for facilities for the guard and reserve components.
The agreement includes authorization of appropriations of
$532.1 million for military construction in fiscal year 2015
for facilities for the guard and reserve components.
We recognize that in difficult budget times military
construction funding is often deferred in favor of other
priorities and notes that the Department's military
construction request for the guard and reserve components for
fiscal year 2015 is 38 percent less than what was requested
for fiscal year 2014. Therefore, the agreement includes
authorization of $5.0 million for a Readiness Center in
Alamogordo, New Mexico; $19.0 million for Enlisted Barracks
at Yakima, Washington; $10.8 million for a Vehicle
Maintenance Shop in Dagsboro, Delaware; $13.2 million for a
Consolidated Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility at
Fort Smith Municipal Airport, Arkansas; $25.0 million for an
Army Reserve Center in Riverside, California; $26.0 million
for an Army Reserve Center in Arlington Heights, Illinois;
$9.3 million for and Army Reserve Center in Starkville,
Mississippi; $47.9 million for a Joint Reserve Intelligence
Center in Everett, Washington; and $14.5 million for a
Guardian Angel Operations Facility at Davis-Monthan Air Force
Base, Arizona. Each of these projects were identified as the
top unfunded military construction priorities of the
respective guard and reserve components.

activities necessary to continue implementation of the 1988,
1991, 1993, 1995, and 2005 Base Realignment and Closure
rounds.
The agreement includes the requested amount.

SUBTITLE A--AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS

Authorization of appropriations for base realignment and
closure activities funded through Department of Defense
base closure account (sec. 2701)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2701) that would
authorize appropriations for ongoing activities that are
required for base realignment and closure activities.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 2701).
The agreement includes the House provision.

SUBTITLE B--PROHIBITION ON ADDITIONAL BRAC ROUND

affirm congressional intent to reject the budget request to
authorize another Base Realignment and Closure round in 2017.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 2702).
The agreement includes the House provision.

SUBTITLE C--OTHER MATTERS

Modification of property disposal procedures under base
realignment and closure process (sec. 2721)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2722) that would
authorize the local government, in whose jurisdiction the
military installation is wholly located, to be recognized as
the local reuse authority for purposes of managing Base
Closure and Realignment (BRAC) reuse planning. This section
would also require the Secretary of Defense to submit a
report to the congressional defense committees as to excess
BRAC property that has not been declared surplus by the
Federal Government.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

HUBZones
The Senate committee-reported bill included a provision
(sec. 2703) that would modify section 632 of title 15, United
States Code, to expand the area around former military
installations closed under the Base Realignment and Closure
process that can be considered for purposes of satisfying
employee residency requirements under the HUBZone program and
would extend the period of applicability from 5 to 8 years.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.

[[Page H8739]]

Force-structure plans and infrastructure inventory and
assessment of infrastructure necessary to support the
force structure
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2721) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report as part
of the budget justification documents submitted to Congress
in support of the President's budget for the Department of
Defense for fiscal year 2016 that details multiple 20-year
force structure plans and a comprehensive inventory of
worldwide infrastructure. The report would also compare these
two items to determine categories of excess in the Department
of Defense infrastructure. The Secretary of Defense would
also certify whether the need exists for the closure or
realignment of additional military installations and whether
the Secretary anticipates that each base closure and
realignment recommendation would result in annual net savings
for each of the military departments within 6 years after the
initiation of the additional round of closures and
realignments.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that a provision elsewhere in this Act makes clear
that nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize an
additional Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round. We also
note that the Department of Defense and Military Departments
have provided testimony about the current estimates of excess
infrastructure capacity associated with military
installations. However, those estimates are based on outdated
data from the analysis done in support of the 2005 BRAC
round. The Department of Defense and military departments
have also stated that overall force structure reductions may
generate additional excess infrastructure capacity. However,
we are aware that the military departments are implementing
installation management methods that may serve to diminish
excess infrastructure capacity.
Due to the force structure changes and infrastructure
investments and management strategies that have occurred
since the 2005 BRAC round, we believe that excess
infrastructure capacity assessments should be based on
current infrastructure data and informed by current force
structure projections. We believe the Department of Defense
has the authority to provide such an updated analysis but to
date has not provided such an assessment.
Final settlement of claims regarding caretaker agreement for
former Defense Depot Ogden, Utah
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2723) that would
limit any further claim adjudication associated with a
caretaker agreement between the City of Ogden, Utah, the
Ogden Local Redevelopment Authority, and the Department of
the Army. This limitation would be conditioned on a release
of claims against the United States by the City of Ogden and
the Ogden Local Redevelopment Authority.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.

Title XXVIII--Military Construction General Provisions

SUBTITLE A--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM AND MILITARY FAMILY HOUSING
CHANGES

Congressional notification of construction projects, land
acquisitions, and defense access road projects conducted
under authorities other than a Military Construction
Authorization Act (sec. 2801)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2801) that would
amend section 2802 of title 10, United States Code, to
clarify that certain military construction projects, land
acquisitions, and defense-access roads projects must
be specifically authorized in a Military Construction
Authorization Act.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would instead modify section 2802 of title 10,
United States Code, to require that the Secretary concerned
notify the congressional defense committees at least 15 days
prior to the initiation of any construction, land
acquisition, or defense-access road project by a military
department, Defense Agency, or Department of Defense Field
Activity on a military installation that will be carried out
pursuant to a provision of law other than a Military
Construction Authorization Act.
Modification of authority to carry out unspecified minor
military construction (sec. 2802)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2802) that would
modify section 2805 of title 10, United States Code, by
increasing the threshold associated with operation and
maintenance funding for minor military construction purposes
from $750,000 to $1.0 million. This section would also unify
the threshold for application of unspecified minor
construction from $2.0 million to $3.0 million. Finally, this
section would authorize the Secretary concerned to make
adjustments to the general authority to match area cost
factors.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 2803) that would increase the maximum amount
of unspecified minor military construction funding that can
be used to correct facility deficiencies that threaten the
life, safety, or health of personnel from $3.0 million to
$4.0 million. The committee recommended an increase in this
threshold to reflect its view that life, safety, and health
deficiencies are at least equal to, if not more important
than, laboratory revitalization for which the unspecified
minor military construction threshold is $4.0 million.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would remove the authorization to make
adjustments to the general authority to match area cost
factors and add the Senate provision increasing the threshold
for projects designed to correct facility deficiencies that
threaten the life, safety, or health of personnel.
Clarification of authorized use of payments-in-kind and in-
kind contributions (sec. 2803)
The Senate committee-reported bill included a provision
(sec. 2801) that would clarify the requirement of section
2687(a) of title 10, United States Code, as amended by

Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66), that military
construction projects built with in-kind payments or in-kind
contributions required by bilateral agreements be
specifically authorized by law.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would make the provision effective beginning
on the later of September 30, 2016, or the date of enactment
of an Act authorizing funds for military construction for
fiscal year 2017. The provision would also exempt military
construction projects funded with payments-in-kind or in-kind
contributions that were the subject of negotiation between
the United States and a host country as of the date of
enactment of this Act. Lastly, the provision would require,
until the effective date, notification to the congressional
defense committees at least 30 days prior to initiating any
military construction project built for Department of Defense
personnel outside the United States using payments-in-kind or
in-kind contributions and make other conforming changes.
Use of one-step turn-key contractor selection procedures for
additional facility projects (sec. 2804)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2803) that would
modify section 2862 of title 10, United States Code, by
expanding the existing authority to use turn-key selection
procedures for military construction projects to include
certain repair projects and facility construction associated
with authorized security assistance activities.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision.
Limitations on military construction in European Command area
of responsibility and European Reassurance Initiative
(sec. 2805)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2804) that would
extend the prohibition previously included in section 2809 of
the Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2014 (division B of Public Law 113-66) on awarding a contract
for any new military construction and family housing project,
with certain exceptions, in the U.S. European Command area of
responsibility until the Secretary of Defense certifies to
the congressional defense committees that the installations
and specific military construction requirements authorized in
the Act have been examined as part of the ongoing European
Infrastructure Consolidation Assessment, have been determined
to be of an enduring nature, and most effectively meet
military requirements at the authorized location.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 2805).
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that, for projects authorized in title XXIX of this
Act to support the European Reassurance Initiative, would
require the Secretary of Defense to provide a military
construction project data sheet and certification that a pre-
financing statement for eligible projects has been submitted
through the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security
Investment Program to the congressional defense committees
prior to awarding a contract in connection with any such
project.
Extension of temporary, limited authority to use operation
and maintenance funds for construction projects in
certain areas outside the United States (sec. 2806)
The Senate committee-reported bill included a provision
(sec. 2804) that would extend the contingency construction
authority contained in section 2808 of the Military
Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (division
B of Public Law 108-136), as amended, for an additional year.
The House bill contained no similar provision.

(sec. 2807)
The Senate committee-reported bill included a provision
(sec. 2802) that would allow for residential buildings
designed and constructed using funds authorized by this Act
to meet an above code green building standard or rating
system to use the ICC 700 National Green Building Standard,

[[Page H8740]]

modify the list of above code green building standard or
rating systems that may be used by the Department of Defense
(DOD).
We are concerned that the DOD may not be considering all
appropriate voluntary consensus green building systems or
standards, as defined in the Office of Management and Budget
Circular Number A-119, and their associated certification
systems, when performing the renovation or construction of
residential buildings. We believe that DOD should consider
all appropriate voluntary consensus green building systems or
standards and, in doing so, should focus on energy savings
and cost-efficiency, using a comprehensive approach that
factors in all facets of a green building including costs for
certification and overall compliance when determining which
green building standard or rating system to use. DOD should
also consider using third party verification to ensure design
and construction meet the requirements for certification, and
include user training and education to ensure the building is
operated efficiently.

relating to certain real property transactions (sec.
2812)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2814) that would
amend section 2695 of title 10, United States Code, and would
provide flexibility to ensure that reimbursements eventually
received by the military departments are not expired at the
time of reimbursement. This section would provide for the
merger of the reimbursed funds with those in the current
appropriation, fund, or account used by the military
departments for payment of administrative transaction-related
expenses. Finally, this section would authorize the military
departments to use operation and maintenance appropriations
to pay for administrative expenses needed to complete other
real property transactions.
The Senate committee-reported bill included a similar
provision (sec. 2811).

activities to implement the realignment of Marine Corps
forces from Okinawa, Japan, to Guam and replace it with an
overall cost cap on such construction, reflecting the July
2014 Master Plan for Guam, subject to inflation and changes
in costs to comply with changes in law. The provision would
also continue restrictions on the development of public
infrastructure on Guam unless a grant, transfer, cooperative
agreement, or supplemental funding for the development of
public infrastructure is specifically authorized by law and
would be used to carry out a project included in the report
of the Economic Adjustment Committee required by section

believe such a conveyance should be conducted in a manner
that is consistent with the disposal process of real property
for public health, including research, as found in section
550 of title 40, United States Code.
Land conveyance, former Lynn Haven fuel depot, Lynn Haven,
Florida (sec. 2835)

require the Secretary of the Army to perform a business case
analysis to assess the requirements associated with
reacquiring the former Camp Gruber, Oklahoma. If the
Secretary determined that a reversion of the former Camp
Gruber is needed for national defense purposes, the Secretary
would exercise the reversionary rights and request the
Oklahoma Department of Wildlife to reconvey Camp Gruber to
the United States. The Secretary would then convey, without
consideration, the former Camp Gruber to the Oklahoma
Military Department for military maneuver space.

The agreement includes the Senate provision with a
clarifying amendment.
We believe that any use of land exchanged by the Army with
Arlington County, Virginia, and the Commonwealth of Virginia
should be compatible with a location immediately adjacent to
Arlington National Cemetery, one of our Nation's most sacred
shrines.

SUBTITLE E--MILITARY MEMORIALS, MONUMENTS, AND MUSEUMS

Acceptance of in-kind gifts on behalf of Heritage Center for
the National Museum of the United States Army (sec. 2851)
A proposed amendment to the Senate committee-reported bill
(amendment number 3915) contained a provision that would

property be accepted ``as is'', the condition that the
Memorial be used and maintained as a veterans memorial in
perpetuity, and other factors. The provision would also
provide for the United States, at its election, to exercise
reversionary rights to the Memorial if the Secretary of
Defense determines that it is ever put to a use other than as
a veterans memorial. Exercise of any reversionary rights
would be temporary and solely for the purpose of conveying,

We note that indoor exposure to mold can cause a variety of
negative health impacts, including allergic reactions. We
encourage the Department of Defense and the military
departments to continue taking cost-effective, timely, and
appropriate actions to prevent the formation of, and
remediate reported cases of, indoor mold in facilities
located on military installations.
Consultation requirement in connection with Department of
Defense major land acquisitions
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2811) that would
require consultation by the Secretary concerned with the
chief executive officer of the state or territory as to the
location of any proposed major land acquisition.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
Arsenal installation reutilization authority
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2813) that would
modify section 2667 of title 10, United States Code, to
provide authorities to lease real or personal property
contained in such section to the commander of military
manufacturing arsenals or, if part of a larger military

[[Page H8742]]

the Navy to use the authorities provided by sections 2664 and
2684(a) of title 10, United States Code, to acquire from
willing sellers easements and other interests in real
property in the vicinity of the Pacific Missile Range
Facility, Kauai, Hawaii.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that the Department of Defense and the military
departments have authorities under sections 2664 and 2684(a)
of title 10, United States Code, to enter into agreements
with or acquire from willing sellers easements and other
interests in real property in the vicinity of military
installations and range facilities. In instances where a
military installation or range facility is subject to
encroachment or other restrictions that may directly or
indirectly restrict, impede, or otherwise interfere with
current or anticipated military training, testing, or
operations, we believe the Department of Defense and military
departments should consider the authorities of sections 2664
and 2684(a) of title 10, United States Code, as a possible
means to alleviate adverse impacts to military missions.
Sense of Congress on national security and public lands
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2817) that would
express the sense of Congress that national defense should be
the top priority for all aspects of the Federal Government,
and that national security functions, such as military
training and exercises, should be the top priority,
particularly with regard to the use of land owned by the
United States.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
The Department of Defense regularly uses federal land owned
by the U.S. Government for military training, including to
prepare U.S. forces deploying overseas for the terrain and
climate they will encounter, as well as for testing of new
military technologies. We note that such access to U.S.
federal lands facilitates military preparedness and advances
the technological edge of our forces. Therefore, we believe
such activities should be given priority consideration with
regard to the use of land owned by the United States.
Indemnification of transferees of property at military
installations closed since October 24, 1988, that remain
under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense

support White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2941) that would
amend section 2951 of the Military Construction Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (division B of Public Law 113-66)
and extend the withdrawal and reservation of public land at
White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, to include Federal
lands located beneath the boundaries of the Special Use
Airspace designated as R-5107C and R-5107H.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We note that on June 4, 2014, the Secretary of Defense
proposed mitigation measures that, if adopted, are intended
to address the Department of Defense's (DOD) concerns with
potential impacts to military operations by the SunZia
Southwest Transmission project (SunZia). Most notably, the
Secretary proposed the burial of a total of approximately
five miles, in up to three separate segments, of the SunZia
project transmission line along the Bureau of Land
Management's (BLM) preferred alternative route (PAR) north of
White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), within an area known as the
Northern Extension Area (NEA). We further note that the
Secretary's proposed mitigation plan was accepted by SunZia
on July 27, 2014, and is now being reviewed by BLM in the
context of an Environmental Assessment that we anticipate
will be completed in February 2015.
As we noted in the Joint Explanatory Statement to accompany
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014
(Public Law 113-66), we expressed our expectation that DOD
concerns would be addressed by the executive branch prior to
the conclusion of the environmental review process to
preserve the critical testing and training capabilities of
WSMR. We continue to have concerns about the impact the
SunZia project may have on these capabilities. We are
specifically concerned that the mitigation measures proposed
by the Secretary of Defense are intended to address existing
and expected test profiles, but may not be sufficient to
provide for future training and testing requirements at WSMR.
Therefore, we direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a
report to the congressional defense committees, concurrent
with the completion of the BLM Environmental Assessment, that
assesses the potential impact of the SunZia project on the
future training and testing capabilities of WSMR to respond
to potential future threats. The report shall include, at a
minimum, an explanation of the Secretary's proposed
mitigation plan, including:
(1) How the proposed mitigation plan addresses concerns
identified in the ``Technical Working Group Report for the
SunZia Transmission Line Project'' dated August 7, 2013,
including the following specific excerpts:
(a) Line Burial--``The distance required for line burial is
35 miles. This is the minimum distance necessary to prevent
impairment of the Nation's unique capabilities to test DOD
weapon systems in this location.''
(b) Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)--``Introduction of
the 500 kV overhead transmission lines in the NEA would raise
the background noise level and create a heat signature that
would be detected during infrared (IR) sensor testing. At
present, there is very limited EMI interference within the
NEA.''
(c) Test mission profiles--``The above-ground construction
and introduction of the SunZia transmission line along the
FEIS [Final Environmental Impact Statement] PAR places an
obstruction in the path of low-level flyers, thus
jeopardizing the effective conduct of testing. Targets flying
critical low-level profiles would have to ``pop up'' from
those flight levels to avoid transmission lines. The FAA
[Federal Aviation Administration] requires a 500 foot buffer
above structures for safety considerations. Such a ``pop up''
would prematurely provide identification and targeting and
thus disrupt and invalidate the test mission profile because
of the change in the observed background clutter.''
(d) Multiple Simultaneous Engagement (MSE) of Aerial
Targets--``The most stressing and complex test missions
involve MSE of aerial targets in a single presentation. This
requirement alone mandates the 35-mile underground
installation of the transmission line to ensure that incoming
targets are in the proper alignment to the background clutter
for a realistic presentation.''
(2) How the SunZia project and proposed mitigation plan
could impact future training and testing events at WSMR;
(3) An identification of any additional mitigation measures
that may be necessary in the future to protect the unique
capabilities of WSMR should new training or testing
requirements arise; and
(4) An assessment by the Secretary of the DOD Clearinghouse
process as it relates to the SunZia project, including:
(a) The extent to which the DOD Clearinghouse identified
and communicated potential negative impacts of the SunZia
project to WSMR in a timely manner; and
(b) Any legislative or policy changes the Secretary would
recommend to improve the ability of DOD Clearinghouse to
advocate for and protect DOD equities.
(5) Any other matters the Secretary deems appropriate.
We note that the report required above is not intended to,
in any way, delay the completion of the BLM Environmental
Assessment associated with the SunZia Southwest Transmission
project.

DIVISION C--DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NATIONAL SECURITY AUTHORIZATIONS AND
OTHER AUTHORIZATIONS

Overview
Title XXXI authorizes appropriations for atomic energy
defense activities of the Department of Energy for fiscal
year 2015, including: the purchase, construction, and
acquisition of plant and capital equipment; research and
development; nuclear weapons activities; nuclear
nonproliferation activities; naval nuclear propulsion;
environmental cleanup and other operating expenses. This
title authorizes appropriations in five categories: (1)
National Nuclear Security Administration; (2) Defense
environmental cleanup; (3) Other defense activities; (4)
Defense nuclear waste disposal; and (5) Energy security and
assurance.

Title XXXI--Department of Energy National Security Programs

SUBTITLE A--NATIONAL SECURITY PROGRAMS AUTHORIZATIONS

National Nuclear Security Administration (sec. 3101)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3101) that would authorize appropriations for the
National Nuclear Security Administration for fiscal year
2015, including funds for weapons activities, defense nuclear
nonproliferation programs, naval reactor programs, and
Federal Salaries and Expenses (formerly known as the Office
of the Administrator), at the levels identified in section
4701 of division D of this Act. This section would also
authorize several new plant projects for the National Nuclear
Security Administration.
The House reported bill contained a similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision.
Defense environmental cleanup (sec. 3102)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3102) that would
authorize appropriations for defense environmental cleanup
activities for fiscal year 2015, at the levels identified in
section 4701 of division D of this Act. This section would
also authorize several new plant projects for defense
environmental cleanup.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 3102).
The agreement includes this provision.
Other defense activities (sec. 3103)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3103) that would
authorize appropriations for other defense activities for
fiscal year 2015, including funds for Health, Safety, and
Security, the Office of Legacy Management, and Nuclear
Energy, as identified in section 4701 of division D of this
Act.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained an identical
provision (sec. 3103).
The agreement includes this provision.

SUBTITLE B--PROGRAM AUTHORIZATIONS, RESTRICTIONS, AND LIMITATIONS

Design and use of prototypes of nuclear weapons for
intelligence purposes (sec. 3111)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3111) that would
update section 3115 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to provide for the
design and use of prototypes of nuclear weapons to further
intelligence estimates with respect to foreign nuclear
weapons activities.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would permit the Secretary of Energy to submit
his views of the programmatic plan for such activities as
developed by the National Nuclear Security Administration
laboratories.
Plutonium pit production capacity (sec. 3112)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3114) that would
add a new section to title 42 of the Atomic Energy Defense
Act (50 U.S.C. 2521) to require the Secretary of Energy to
ensure that the nuclear security enterprise produces at least
30 war reserve pits during 2023, at least 50 war reserve
pits during 2026, and, during a pilot period of at least
90 days during 2027, demonstrates the capability to
produce war reserve pits at a rate sufficient to produce
80 pits per year. The Secretary of Energy would be
required to certify to the congressional defense
committees and the Secretary of Defense, by March 1 of
each year until 2027, that the programs and budget of the
Department of Energy will meet these pit production
milestones.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that, in addition to striking the findings, would
require initial production of qualification pits in 2021,
production of not less than 10 war reserve pits during 2024,
production of not less than 20 war reserve pits during 2025,
production of not less than 30 war reserve pits during 2026,
and a pilot production period during 2027 that demonstrates
the capability to produce 80 pits per year. The agreement
provides the Secretary of Energy and the Secretary of Defense
the authority to delay the requirement for the pilot
demonstration in 2027 no more than two years to 2029. If the
Secretaries jointly delay the pilot demonstration, they must
submit a report to the congressional defense committees
describing the justification for the proposed delay, the
impacts of the proposed delay on stockpile stewardship,
nuclear modernization, life extension programs, future
stockpile strategy, and dismantlement efforts, as well as
their assessment regarding whether the delay is consistent
with national policy regarding creation of a responsive
nuclear infrastructure. The Commander, U.S. Strategic Command
would also be required to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees on the potential risks of
the proposed delay in meeting nuclear deterrence requirements
and national requirements related to creation of a responsive
nuclear infrastructure.
Life-cycle cost estimates of certain atomic energy defense
capital assets (sec. 3113)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3111) that would amend the Atomic Energy Defense Act to
require that, under Department of Energy Order 413.3, an
independent life-cycle cost estimate is conducted prior to
certain atomic energy defense capital asset projects that
have achieved critical decision 2 in the acquisition process.
The provision clarifies that this requirement applies only to
atomic energy defense capital assets where the total project
cost exceeds $100.0 million and where the purpose of the
capital asset is to perform a limited-life, single-purpose
mission.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes Senate provision.
We note that this requirement applies only to single-
purpose, limited-life facilities such as the Mixed Oxide Fuel
Fabrication Facility in South Carolina and the Waste
Treatment and Immobilization Plant in Washington. It is not
intended to be applied to multi-mission, long-life facilities
such as the Uranium Capabilities Replacement Project in
Tennessee or the replacement facilities for the Chemistry and
Metallurgy Research facility in New Mexico. We believe this
provision will help reduce the likelihood of large and
unexpected increases in life-cycle cost estimates late in the
acquisition process for these types of facilities.
Expansion of requirement for independent cost estimates on
life extension programs and new nuclear facilities (sec.
3114)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3112) that would require independent cost estimates
earlier in the acquisition process for life extension
programs and new nuclear facilities.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would require an independent cost review at
the completion of phase 6.2.
We believe that, in the early stages of concept definition,
there are often many options still under consideration and it
would not be cost effective to perform a full independent
cost estimate for each option. A less formal independent cost
review at phase 6.2 has been determined to give sufficient
cost guidance to determine which options should proceed
further in the acquisition process.
Definition of baseline and threshold for stockpile life
extension project (sec. 3115)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3114) that would
amend section 4713 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50
U.S.C. 2753) to clarify that the cost and schedule baseline
of a nuclear stockpile life extension project established
pursuant to such section shall be the cost and schedule
contained in the weapon design and cost report that was
required prior to the project entering into the development
engineering phase. This section would also lower the
threshold for congressional notification on costs per warhead
exceeding the baseline from 200 percent to 150 percent.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would clarify that the cost and schedule
baseline for a stockpile life extension project would be the
cost and schedule described in the first Selected Acquisition
Report submitted under section 4217(a) of the Atomic Energy
Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2537(a)).

[[Page H8745]]

Authorized personnel levels of National Nuclear Security
Administration (sec. 3116)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3114) that would
amend section 3241A of the National Nuclear Security
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2441a) to require that, by
October 1, 2015, the total number of employees within the
Office of the Administrator may not exceed 1,650.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would limit the number of employees to 1,690.
Cost estimation and program evaluation by National Nuclear
Security Administration (sec. 3117)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3131) that would
amend section 3221(h) of the National Nuclear Security
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2411) to clarify that the term
``Administration,'' with respect to any authority, duty, or
responsibility provided by section 3211, does not include the
Office of Naval Reactors.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a technical
amendment.
Cost containment for Uranium Capabilities Replacement Project
(sec. 3118)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3113) that would
amend section 3123 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239), as amended by
section 3126 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-966), to clarify that the
Secretary of Energy may adjust the statutory cost cap of $4.2
billion for Phase I of the Uranium Capabilities Replacement
Project (UCRP) if, by March 15, 2015, the Secretary of Energy
submits to the congressional defense committees a detailed
justification for such adjustment.
This provision would also require the Secretary of Energy
to certify to the congressional defense committees and the
Secretary of Defense by March 1 of each year through 2025,
that Phase I of the UCRP will meet the cost cap of $4.2
billion (as adjusted) and that the UCRP will enable uranium
operations in building 9212 of the Y-12 National Security
Complex to cease by 2025, while uranium operations begin in a
new facility constructed under the UCRP by 2025.
The provision would further require the Secretary of Energy
and the Secretary of the Navy to jointly submit a report to
the congressional defense committees by March 1, 2015, on
implementation of section 3123(e) of National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239),
as amended.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 3113) that would require, before beginning
construction of the replacement for building 9212, the
technologies (or their substitutes) that are to go into the
replacement building have a technology readiness level of at
least seven. Technologies (or their substitutes) that were in
building 9212 that do not go into the replacement building
are also to have a technology readiness level of at least
seven.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that combines the two provisions while striking the
sense of Congress in the House provision.
Production of nuclear warhead for long-range standoff weapon
(sec. 3119)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3116) that would
require the Secretary of Energy to deliver a first production
unit for a nuclear warhead for the long-range standoff weapon
not later than September 30, 2025. This provision would also
require the Secretary of Energy and the Secretary of Defense
to jointly develop a plan to carry out this mandate and
require the Secretaries to submit this plan to the
congressional defense committees within 180 days after the
date of enactment of this Act.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would provide the Commander, U.S. Strategic
Command, the ability to defer the first production unit date
by up to 1 year if the Commander certifies to the Chairman of
the Nuclear Weapons Council and the congressional defense
committees that the delay is in the interest of national
security and does not negatively affect the ability of the
Commander to meet nuclear assurance and deterrence
requirements.
Disposition of weapons-usable plutonium (sec. 3120)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3117) that would
require the Secretary of Energy to specifically carry out
construction and program support activities with fiscal year
2015 funds authorized for the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication
Facility (MFFF). For construction and program support
activities. Program support activities are defined as those
activities in support of the design, long-lead equipment,
procurement, and site preparation for the MFFF.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would clarify project support activities.
Limitation on availability of funds for Office of the
Administrator for Nuclear Security (sec. 3121)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3118) that would
limit the availability of funds authorized to be appropriated
by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2015
for the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA)
Office of the Administrator to not more than 75 percent of
the above until several statutorily required reports are
submitted to certain congressional committees in 2015. These
include:
(1) The report on stockpile assessments required under
section 4205(f)(2) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50
U.S.C. 2525(f)(2));
(2) The Secretary of Energy's portion of the report
required by section 1043 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81);
(3) The annual assessment required under section 3122 of
Public Law 112-81; and (4) The detailed report on the
stockpile stewardship, management, and infrastructure plan
required by section 4203(b) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act
(50 U.S.C. 2523(b)).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with a
clarifying amendment.
Limitation on availability of funds for nonproliferation
activities between the United States and the Russian
Federation (sec. 3122)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3120) that would
prohibit the use of fiscal year 2015 funds for the National
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) for any contact,
cooperation, or transfer of technology between the United
States and the Russian Federation until the Secretary of
Energy, in consultation with the Secretary of State and
Secretary of Defense, certifies to the appropriate
congressional committees that the Russian Federation is
respecting the sovereignty of Ukrainian territory, is no
longer acting inconsistently with the Intermediate-range
Nuclear Forces Treaty, and is in compliance with the Treaty
on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that unless specifically authorized by Congress,
International Material Protection, Control and Accounting
activities in the Russian Federation, except those associated
with the Plutonium Management and Disposition agreement,
shall be completed no later than fiscal year 2018. In
addition, the amendment prohibits any fiscal year 2015
funding for the transfer of Multiple Integrated Laser
Engagement System technology from the United States to the
Russian Federation.
We note that the Material Protection, Control and
Accounting activities in the Russian Federation has secured
nuclear material facilities in Russia since the breakup of
the Soviet Union. Assisting Russia in securing nuclear
materials has been in the national security interests of the
United States. However, given that that the majority of work
has been completed at facilities over the past 20 years, we
believe that physical work on this program should be
completed no later than fiscal year 2018. We understand that
this is also the target timeframe for completion set by the
NNSA. This does not rule out continued exchange of best
practices in physical security in such areas as insider
threat, developments in security technology, as well as other
appropriate compensatory measures or other areas of mutual
benefit in securing nuclear material. If areas of concern
emerge that require additional physical security work in
Russia after fiscal year 2018, and that work is of benefit to
the security interests of the United States, it can be part
of an annual budget request which can be reviewed by the
congressional defense committees. We understand that Rosatom
is evaluating the ongoing work with the NNSA and expects to
be promptly informed of any change in status of the
relationship between Rosatom and the NNSA.
We believe that the NNSA should not be providing Multiple
Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) technology. We
understand MILES technology is a tactical force-on-force
trainer employed by the U.S. military and believe it is
inappropriate to be providing military-grade technology to
the Russian Federation at a time when Russia has exercised
aggressive actions towards U.S. partners and allies.
Identification of amounts required for uranium technology
sustainment in budget materials for fiscal year 2016
(sec. 3123)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3116) that would require the Administrator for Nuclear
Security to include in the fiscal year 2016 budget request a
uranium sustainment budget line for technology development
past technology readiness level five so that plant-directed
research and development (R&D) at facilities such as Y-12 can
concentrate on projects involving technology readiness level
four and below.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.

SUBTITLE C--PLANS AND REPORTS

report to the congressional defense committees not later than
270 days after the date of enactment of this Act containing
an analysis of using or modifying existing facilities across
the nuclear security enterprise to support the plutonium
strategy of the National Nuclear Security Administration.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment that would require the Administrator to include, as
part of the Administrator's planned analysis of alternatives
for Critical Decision 1 of the plutonium strategy, an
analysis of using or modifying existing facilities of the
nuclear security enterprise. The Administrator would be
required to submit the analysis to the congressional defense
committees within 30 days of completing it. The amendment
would also add a sense of Congress regarding the commitments
made by the Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons Council on July
25, 2014, regarding a strategy to carry out a modular
building strategy for plutonium capabilities.
Plan for verification and monitoring of proliferation of
nuclear weapons and fissile material (sec. 3133)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3134) that would
require the President, in consultation with the Secretaries
of State, Homeland Security and Energy as well as the
Director of National Intelligence, to develop an interagency
plan for verification and monitoring related to the potential
proliferation of nuclear weapons, components of such weapons
and fissile material. Such plan would be due to the
appropriate congressional committees no later than September
1, 2015.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Comments of Administrator for Nuclear Security and Chairman
of Nuclear Weapons Council on final report of
Congressional Advisory Panel on the Governance of the
Nuclear Security Enterprise (sec. 3134)
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision
(sec. 3115) that would require the Administrator of the
National Nuclear Security Administration to respond within 90
days to the findings of the Congressional Advisory Panel on
the Governance of the Nuclear Security Enterprise, created in
section 3166 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2013 (P.L. 112-239), which shall be submitted to
the congressional defense committees.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would also require separate comments on the
advisory panel's report from the Chairman of the Nuclear
Weapons Council. The amendment would also clarify that
comments are required only on the advisory panel's final
report and that such comments are due 90 days after enactment
of this Act.

SUBTITLE D--OTHER MATTERS

Establishment of Advisory Board on Toxic Substances and
Worker Health; Extension of Authority of Office of
Ombudsman for Energy Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program (sec. 3141)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1090D) that
would state a sense of Congress that the President should
establish a federal advisory board for part E of the Energy
Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained a similar
provision (sec. 3114) that would create an advisory board
reporting to the Energy Employees Occupational Illness
Program on toxic substances and worker health.
The agreement includes the Senate provision with an
amendment that would ensure the advisory board functions only
in an advisory capacity pursuant to the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (5 U.S.C. 2(b)(6)). The amendment also includes
modifications to ensure the advisory board's members, staff,
and contractors do not have a conflict of interest and
permits the Secretary of Labor to employ outside contractors
to support the work of the board. The amendment would also
clarify that the advisory board provides advice to the
Secretary of Labor instead of the President and that the
appointments to the board should reflect a balance of
perspectives from the scientific, medical, and claimant
communities.
We note that ``claimant communities'' should be interpreted
to include a mixture of the legal, worker, worker families,
worker advocate, and other relevant communities as the
President determines appropriate. The amendment would also
extend the authority for the Office of the Ombudsman in the
Department of Labor to 2019.
We further note that the Secretary shall ensure the Board
is provided the necessary support for the Board to perform
its functions, including program review and audit functions
as appropriate, and that the Department of Labor will consult
the Board regarding the need for and selection of outside
technical support, experts and contractors, consistent with
the process and support used by the Advisory Board on
Radiation and Worker found in section 7384o of title 42,
United States Code, and consistent with federal acquisition
laws.
Technical corrections to Atomic Energy Defense Act (sec.
3142)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3141) that would
make technical corrections to the Atomic Energy Defense Act
(50 U.S.C. 2501).
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes the House provision with an
amendment making additional technical corrections.
Technical corrections to National Nuclear Security
Administration Act (sec. 3143)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3142) that would
make technical corrections to section 3220 (50 U.S.C. 2410)
and section 3236 (50 U.S.C. 2426) of the National Nuclear
Security Administration Act.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement includes this provision.
Technology Commercialization Fund (sec. 3144)
A proposed amendment to the Senate committee-reported bill
(amendment number 3510) contained a provision that would
amend section 1001(e) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42
U.S.C. 16391(e)) by inserting after ``fiscal year'' the
phrase ``based on future planned activities and the amount of
the appropriations for the fiscal year.''
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The agreement includes this provision.

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

Additional limitation on availability of funds for Office of
the Administrator for Nuclear Security
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3119) that would
limit the availability of funds authorized to be appropriated
by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2015
for the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA)
Office of the Administrator to not more than 90 percent
until the date on which the Administrator for Nuclear
Security submits to the congressional defense committees a
report on the efficiencies proposed by the 2012 Joint
Department of Energy/Department of Defense Study on
Potential NNSA Management and Work Force Prioritization
Efficiencies.
The Senate committee-reported bill contained no similar
provision.
The agreement does not include this provision.
We believe NNSA and the Department of Energy must undertake
robust and continuing efforts to find cost savings and cost
avoidances that enable NNSA to work more efficiently and
effectively. In the Conference Report accompanying the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013
(House Report 112-706), we expressed concern that the rise to
unprecedented levels of the cost of major stockpile and
infrastructure modernization projects leading to slippages in
project schedules could undermine the credibility of the
nation's nuclear deterrent. We also noted that administrative
costs and bureaucracy within the NNSA and the nuclear
security enterprise must be reduced and the enterprise must
be refocused on accomplishing its mission effectively and
efficiently, as well as safely and securely. We remain
concerned about these longstanding challenges.
In the context of these concerns, we appreciate the letter
of November 4, 2014 from the NNSA Administrator to the House
Armed Services Committee, committing to continue efforts to
make the nuclear enterprise more efficient. We believe this
process to seek efficiencies and productivity gains, proposed
by the Administrator in this letter, to be a small but
hopeful step in the right direction. We therefore endorse
this proposal and direct the Administrator for Nuclear
Security, consistent with his commitment, to provide a report
to the congressional defense committees by February 28, 2015,
on the actions, initiatives, and pilot programs the
Administrator will undertake in the remainder of fiscal year
2015 to realize efficiencies within NNSA and the nuclear
security enterprise. This report should include specific
opportunities identified by the NNSA laboratories and plants
and measures to eliminate or streamline burdensome and
ineffective transactional oversight.
We further direct the Administrator to submit a report to
the congressional defense committees by November 15, 2015,
containing the Administrator's assessment of whether the
actions, initiatives, and pilot programs previously
identified by the Administrator were successful.
