     during times of workload fluctuations and workforce 
     instability, and explore potential partnerships to connect 
     employees with appropriate resources.
       (3) Explore possible cost sharing agreements to enable the 
     Secretary of the Navy to contribute funding to existing 
     Department of Labor workforce programs to support the Navy 
     shipbuilding industrial base workforce.
       (4) Examine possible programs that will specifically assist 
     furloughed employees in the Navy shipbuilding industrial base 
     workforce who may sporadically rely on unemployment benefits.
       (5) Explore opportunities for unemployed, underemployed, or 
     furloughed employees in the Navy shipbuilding industrial base

     alternative employment, temporary stipends, or other worker 
     support opportunities.
       (8) Study cross-State credentialing requirements and 
     identify any restrictions that inhibit the flexibility of the 
     Navy shipbuilding industrial base workforce to seek 
     employment opportunities across State lines, and make 
     recommendations to streamline licensing, credentialing, 
     certification, and qualification requirements within the 
     shipbuilding industry.
       (9) Review additional or new contracting authorities that 
     could enable the Department of the Navy to award short-term, 
     flexible contracts that will prioritize work for unemployed, 
     underemployed, or furloughed employees within the Navy 
     shipbuilding industrial base workforce.
       (10) Identify specific workforce support programs to 
     support suppliers of all sizes within the Navy shipbuilding 
     industrial base, and assess any additional support from prime 
     contractors that would improve the stability of such 
     suppliers.
       (11) Assess whether greater collaboration with the United 
     States Coast Guard and its shipbuilding contractors and 
     subcontractors would improve Navy shipbuilding industrial 
     base workforce stability by assessing a totality of Navy and 
     Coast Guard shipbuilding demands.

     SEC. 1244. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SUPPORT FOR THE NORTH 
                   ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the success of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO) is critical to achieving United States national 
     security objectives in Europe and around the world;
       (2) NATO remains the strongest and most successful military 
     alliance in the world, founded on a commitment by its members 
     to uphold the principles of democracy, individual liberty, 
     and the rule of law, and its contributions to the collective 
     defense are indispensable to the security, prosperity, and 
     freedom of its members;
       (3) the United States reaffirms its ironclad commitment to 
     NATO as the foundation of transatlantic security and to 
     uphold its obligations under the North Atlantic Treaty, 
     including Article 5 of the Treaty;
       (4) the 2018 National Defense Strategy identifies long-term 
     strategic competition with Russia as a principal priority and 
     highlights the essential role that a strong NATO alliance 
     must play in implementing that strategy and addressing shared 
     security concerns;
       (5) the United States should deepen defense cooperation 
     with non-NATO European partners, reaffirm the open-door 
     policy of NATO, and encourage security sector cooperation 
     between NATO and non-NATO defense partners that complements 
     and strengthens collective defense, interoperability, and 
     allies' commitment to Article 3 of the North Atlantic Treaty;
       (6) bolstering NATO cohesion and enhancing security 
     relationships with non-NATO European partners to counter 
     Russian aggression, including Russia's use of hybrid warfare 
     tactics and its willingness to use military power to alter 
     the status quo, strengthens the United States security 
     interests for the long-term strategic competition;
       (7) the continued prioritization of funding for the 
     European Deterrence Initiative, including for purposes of 
     strengthening allied and partner capability and power 
     projection along the eastern flank of NATO, remains 
     critically important;
       (8) the United States and NATO should continue to cooperate 
     on other major shared challenges, such as the COVID-19 
     pandemic; and
       (9) the policy of the United States should be to work with 
     its NATO and other allies and partners to build permanent 
     mechanisms to strengthen supply chains, enhance supply chain 
     security, fill supply chain gaps, and maintain commitments 
     made at the June 2020 NATO Defense Ministerial, particularly 
     regarding pandemic response preparations.

     SEC. 1245. LIMITATION ON UNITED STATES FORCE STRUCTURE 
                   REDUCTIONS IN GERMANY.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Federal Republic of Germany continues to be a 
     strong ally within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO) and a critical ally of the United States;
       (2) the presence of the United States Armed Forces in 
     Germany serves as a strong deterrent to Russian Federation 
     military aggression and expansion in Europe and as an 
     essential support platform for carrying out vital national 
     security engagements in the Middle East, Africa, and 
     Afghanistan;
       (3) the presence of approximately 34,500 members of the 
     United States Armed Forces deployed to Germany, and the 
     ability to increase that level as necessary in response to 
     global security challenges, is essential to supporting NATO's 
     operations and its collective deterrence against threats;
       (4) reducing the number of members of the United States 
     Armed Forces in Germany during a time of growing threats in 
     Europe would constitute a grave strategic mistake that would 
     undermine United States national security interests and 
     weaken NATO; and
       (5) the United States should continue--
       (A) to maintain and strengthen its bilateral relationship 
     with Germany; and
       (B) to maintain a robust military presence in Germany so as 
     to deter aggression against the United States and its allies 
     and partners.

       (1) An analysis of whether the reduction in the total 
     number of Armed Forces serving on active duty who are

     United States military posture and alignment in the European 
     theater.
       (2) An analysis of the impact of such a reduction on the 
     security of the United States as well as the security of

     deterrence and defense posture of the North Atlantic Treaty

     military families or additional costs for relocation of

     military training and major military exercises, including on 
     interoperability and joint activities with allies and 
     partners.
       (7) A description of the consultations made with United 
     States allies and partners in Europe, including a description 
     of the consultations with each member of NATO, regarding such 
     a reduction.
       (8) A description of the capabilities that would be 
     impacted in Germany and any actions designed to mitigate such 
     a reduction.
       (9) A detailed description of the requirements for the 
     Department of Defense to effectuate any relocation and 
     redeployment of members of the Armed Forces from Germany and 
     associated relocation of military families.
       (10) A detailed analysis of the impact of the reduction and 
     redeployment of military capabilities on the ability of the 
     United States to meet commitments under the North Atlantic 
     Treaty as well as the ability to support operations in the 
     Middle East and Africa.
       (11) A detailed analysis of the impact of such reduction 
     and redeployment on the implementation of the National 
     Defense Strategy and on Joint Force Planning.
       (12) A detailed analysis of the cost implications of such a 
     reduction and redeployment, to include the cost of any

     SEC. 1260. STATEMENT OF POLICY AND SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE 
                   TAIWAN RELATIONS ACT.

       (a) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United 
     States--
       (1) that the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 
     U.S.C. 3301 et seq.) and the Six Assurances provided by the 
     United States to Taiwan in July 1982 are the foundation for 
     United States-Taiwan relations;
       (2) to fully pursue the deepening of the extensive, close, 
     and friendly relations of the United States and Taiwan 
     pursuant to the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 
     U.S.C. 3301 et seq.), the intent of which is to facilitate 
     greater cooperation and the broadening and deepening of 
     United States-Taiwan relations;
       (3) that the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 
     U.S.C. 3301 et seq.) shall be implemented and executed, 
     consistent with the Six Assurances, to address evolving 
     political, security, and economic dynamics and circumstances;
       (4) that, as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act (Public 
     Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.), the United States decision 
     to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic 
     of China rests upon the expectation that the future of Taiwan 
     will be determined by peaceful means, and that any effort to 
     determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means, 
     including boycotts and embargoes, is a threat to the peace 
     and security of the Western Pacific area and of grave concern 
     to the United States;
       (5) that the increasingly coercive and aggressive behavior 
     of the People's Republic of China towards Taiwan is contrary 
     to the expectation of the peaceful resolution of the future 
     of Taiwan; and
       (6) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 
     96-8; 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.), to maintain the capacity to 
     resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that 
     would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic 
     system, of the people on Taiwan.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States should continue to support the 
     development of capable, ready, and modern defense forces

     Government of Sudan to recover, evaluate, hold, manage, or 
     divest any state assets and the profits derived from the 
     assets that may have been transferred to the National 
     Congress Party, an affiliate of the National Congress Party, 
     or an official of the National Congress Party in the

       (1) the annual Trafficking In Persons Report prepared by 
     the Department of State pursuant to the Trafficking Victims 
     Protection Act of 2000 (the ``TIP Report'') remains one of 
     the most comprehensive, timely, and important sources of 
     information on human trafficking in the world, and currently 
     includes 187 individual country narratives;
       (2) in January 2019, the statute mandating the TIP Report 
     was amended to require that each report must cover efforts 
     and activities occurring within the period from April 1 of 
     the prior year through March 31 of the current year, which 
     necessarily requires the collection and transmission of 
     information after March 31;
       (3) ensuring that the Department of State has adequate time 
     to receive, analyze, and incorporate trafficking-related 
     information into its annual Trafficking In Persons Report is 
     important to the quality and comprehensiveness of that 
     report;
       (4) information regarding prevalence and patterns of human 
     trafficking is important for understanding the scourge of 
     modern slavery and making effective decisions about where and 
     how to combat it; and
       (5) United States officials responsible for monitoring and 
     combating trafficking in persons around the world should 
     receive available information regarding where and how often 
     United States diplomatic and consular officials encounter 
     persons who are responsible for, or who knowingly benefit 
     from, severe forms of trafficking in persons.
       (b) Annual Deadline for Trafficking in Persons Report.--

     the Council.''.

     Trafficking Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-22; 129 Stat. 243), 
     as added by paragraph (2).

     Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons of the Department 
     of State.--
       (1) In general.--Section 106 of the Trafficking Victims 
     Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7104) is amended by adding

                   GENERATORS IN A MICROGRID CONFIGURATION AT 
                   CERTAIN MILITARY INSTALLATIONS.

       (a) Pilot Program Authorized.--The Secretary of Defense may 
     conduct a pilot program (to be known as the ``Emergency 
     Diesel Generator Microgrid Program'') to evaluate the 
     feasibility and cost effectiveness of connecting existing 
     diesel generators at a military installation selected 
     pursuant to subsection (c) to create and support one or more 
     microgrid configurations at the installation capable of 
     providing full-scale electrical power for the defense 
     critical facilities located at the installation during an 
     emergency involving the loss of external electric power 
     supply caused by an extreme weather condition, manmade 
     intentional infrastructure damage, or other circumstance.
       (b) Goals of Pilot Program.--The goals of the Emergency 
     Diesel Generator Microgrid Program are--
       (1) to test assumptions about lower operating and 
     maintenance costs, parts interchangeability, lower emissions, 
     lower fuel usage, increased resiliency, increased 
     reliability, and reduced need for emergency diesel 
     generators; and
       (2) to establish design criteria that could be used to 
     build and sustain emergency diesel generator microgrids at

     contain, or are served by, defense critical electric 
     infrastructure;
       (2) contain more than one defense critical function for 
     national defense purposes and the mission assurance of such 
     critical defense facilities are paramount to maintaining 
     national defense and force projection capabilities at all 
     times; and
       (3) face unique electric energy supply, delivery, and 
     distribution challenges that, based on the geographic 
     location of the installations and the overall physical size 
     of the installations, adversely impact rapid electric 
     infrastructure restoration after an interruption.

     generators used for the microgrid should be spaced within 1.0 
     to 1.5 mile of each other and, using a dedicated underground 
     electric cable network, be tied into a microgrid 
     configuration sufficient to supply mission critical 
     facilities within the service area of the microgrid. A 
     selected military installation may contain more than one such 
     microgrid under the Emergency Diesel Generator Microgrid 
     Program.

     SEC. 6102. STRENGTHENING FINCEN.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the mission of FinCEN should be to continue to 
     safeguard the financial system from illicit activity, counter 
     money laundering and the financing of terrorism, and promote 
     national security through strategic use of financial 
     authorities and the collection, analysis, and dissemination 
     of financial intelligence;
       (2) in its mission to safeguard the financial system from 
     the abuses of financial crime, the United States should 
     prioritize working with partners in Federal, State, local, 
     Tribal, and foreign law enforcement authorities;
       (3) although the use and trading of virtual currencies are 
     legal practices, some terrorists and criminals, including 
     transnational criminal organizations, seek to exploit 
     vulnerabilities in the global financial system and 
     increasingly rely on substitutes for currency, including 
     emerging payment methods (such as virtual currencies), to 
     move illicit funds; and
       (4) in carrying out its mission, FinCEN should ensure that 
     its efforts fully support countering the financing of 
     terrorism efforts, including making sure that steps to 
     address emerging methods of such illicit financing are high 
     priorities.
       (b) Expanding Information Sharing With Tribal 
     Authorities.--Section 310(b)(2) of title 31, United States 
     Code, is amended--
       (1) in subparagraphs (C), (E), and (F), by inserting 
     ``Tribal,'' after ``local,'' each place that term appears; 
     and
       (2) in subparagraph (C)(vi), by striking ``international''.
       (c) Expansion of Reporting Authorities to Combat Money 
     Laundering.--Section 5318(a)(2) of title 31, United States 
     Code, is amended--
       (1) by inserting ``, including the collection and reporting 
     of certain information as the Secretary of the Treasury may 
     prescribe by regulation,'' after ``appropriate procedures''; 
     and
       (2) by inserting ``, the financing of terrorism, or other 
     forms of illicit finance'' after ``money laundering''.
       (d) Value That Substitutes for Currency.--
       (1) Definitions.--Section 5312(a) of title 31, United 
     States Code, is amended--
       (A) in paragraph (1), by striking ``, or a transaction in 
     money, credit, securities, or gold'' and

[[Page H6508]]

     inserting ``, a transaction in money, credit, securities or 
     gold, or a service provided with respect to money, 
     securities, futures, precious metals, stones and jewels, or 
     value that substitutes for currency'';
       (B) in paragraph (2)--
       (i) in subparagraph (J), by inserting ``, or a business 
     engaged in the exchange of currency, funds, or value that 
     substitutes for currency or funds'' before the semicolon at 
     the end; and
       (ii) in subparagraph (R), by striking ``funds,'' and 
     inserting ``currency, funds, or value that substitutes for 
     currency,''; and
       (C) in paragraph (3)--
       (i) in subparagraph (B), by striking ``and'' at the end;
       (ii) in subparagraph (C), by striking the period at the end 
     and inserting ``; and''; and
       (iii) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(D) as the Secretary shall provide by regulation, value 
     that substitutes for any monetary instrument described in 
     subparagraph (A), (B), or (C).''.
       (2) Registration of money transmitting businesses.--Section 
     5330(d) of title 31, United States Code, is amended--
       (A) in paragraph (1)(A)--
       (i) by striking ``funds,'' and inserting ``currency, funds, 
     or value that substitutes for currency,''; and
       (ii) by striking ``system;;'' and inserting ``system;''; 
     and
       (B) in paragraph (2)--
       (i) by striking ``currency or funds denominated in the 
     currency of any country'' and inserting ``currency, funds, or 
     value that substitutes for currency'';
       (ii) by striking ``currency or funds, or the value of the 
     currency or funds,'' and inserting ``currency, funds, or

     purchasers;

     domestic or international geographical locations, or 
     otherwise, should be subject to any regulations;

     with appropriate representatives of the State bank 
     supervisors, State credit union supervisors, and Federal 
     functional regulators, shall--

       ``(I) establish streamlined, including automated, processes 
     to, as appropriate, permit the filing of noncomplex 
     categories of reports that--

       ``(aa) reduce burdens imposed on persons required to 
     report; and
       ``(bb) do not diminish the usefulness of the reporting to 
     Federal law enforcement agencies, national security 
     officials, and the intelligence community in combating 
     financial crime, including the financing of terrorism;

     shall consider transactions, including structured 
     transactions, designed to evade any regulation promulgated 
     under this subchapter, certain fund and asset transfers with

     transactions without lawful purposes, and any other 
     transaction that the Secretary determines to be appropriate.

       (2) Coordination with federal functional regulators and 
     state bank supervisors and state credit union supervisors.--

     useful to Federal or State criminal or civil law enforcement 
     agencies during the period since the most recent disclosure 
     under this paragraph to the financial institution.
       (B) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this paragraph may be 
     construed to require the public disclosure of any information

     protect national security.--FinCEN shall not be required to

     Attorney General, Federal law enforcement agencies, the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security, the Federal functional 
     regulators, State bank supervisors, State credit union 
     supervisors, and other relevant stakeholders, shall undertake 
     a formal review of the financial institution reporting 
     requirements relating to currency transaction reports and 
     suspicious activity reports, as in effect on the date of 
     enactment of this Act, including the processes used to submit 
     reports under the Bank Secrecy Act, regulations implementing 
     the Bank Secrecy Act, and related guidance, and propose 
     changes to those reports to reduce any unnecessarily 
     burdensome regulatory requirements and ensure that the 
     information provided fulfills the purposes described in 
     section 5311 of title 31, United States Code, as amended by 
     section 6101(a) of this division.
       (b) Contents.--The review required under subsection (a) 
     shall--
       (1) rely substantially on information obtained through the 
     BSA Data Value Analysis Project conducted by FinCEN; and
       (2) include a review of--
       (A) whether the circumstances under which a financial 
     institution determines whether to file a continuing 
     suspicious activity report, including insider abuse, or the 
     processes followed by a financial institution in determining 
     whether to file a continuing suspicious activity report, or 
     both, should be streamlined or otherwise adjusted;
       (B) whether different thresholds should apply to different 
     categories of activities;
       (C) the fields designated as critical on the suspicious 
     activity report form, the fields on the currency transaction 
     report form, and whether the number or nature of the fields 
     on those forms should be adjusted;
       (D) the categories, types, and characteristics of 
     suspicious activity reports and currency transaction reports 
     that are of the greatest value to, and that best support, 
     investigative priorities of law enforcement and national 
     security agencies;
       (E) the increased use or expansion of exemption provisions 
     to reduce currency transaction reports that may be of little 
     or no value to the efforts of law enforcement agencies;
       (F) the most appropriate ways to promote financial 
     inclusion and address the adverse consequences of financial 
     institutions de-risking entire categories of relationships, 
     including charities, embassy accounts, and money service 
     businesses (as defined in section 1010.100(ff) of title 31, 
     Code of Federal Regulations), and certain groups of 
     correspondent banks without conducting a proper assessment of 
     the specific risk of each individual member of these 
     populations;
       (G) the current financial institution reporting 
     requirements under the Bank Secrecy Act and regulations and 
     guidance implementing the Bank Secrecy Act;
       (H) whether the process for the electronic submission of 
     reports could be improved for both financial institutions and 
     law enforcement agencies, including by allowing greater 
     integration between financial institution systems and the 
     electronic filing system to allow for automatic population of 
     report fields and the automatic submission of transaction 
     data for suspicious transactions, without bypassing the 
     obligation of each reporting financial institution to assess 
     the specific risk of the transactions reported;
       (I) the appropriate manner in which to ensure the security 
     and confidentiality of personal information;
       (J) how to improve the cross-referencing of individuals or 
     entities operating at multiple financial institutions and 
     across international borders;
       (K) whether there are ways to improve currency transaction 
     report aggregation for entities with common ownership;
       (L) whether financial institutions should be permitted to 
     streamline or otherwise adjust, with respect to particular 
     types of customers or transactions, the process for 
     determining whether activity is suspicious or the information 
     included in the narrative of a suspicious activity report; 
     and
       (M) any other matter the Secretary determines is 
     appropriate.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary, in consultation with 
     the Attorney General, Federal law enforcement agencies, the 
     Director of National Intelligence, the Secretary of Homeland 
     Security, and the Federal functional regulators, shall--
       (1) submit to Congress a report that contains all findings 
     and determinations made in carrying out the review required 
     under subsection (a); and
       (2) propose rulemakings, as appropriate, to implement the 
     findings and determinations described in paragraph (1).

       ``(2) Outreach.--The Secretary of the Treasury and the 
     appropriate supervising agencies shall carry out an outreach 
     program to provide financial institutions with information, 
     including best practices, with respect to the collaborative

       (b) Rule of Construction.--The amendment made by subsection 
     (a) may not be construed to require financial institutions to 
     share resources.

     SEC. 6214. ENCOURAGING INFORMATION SHARING AND PUBLIC-PRIVATE 
                   PARTNERSHIPS.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary shall convene a supervisory 
     team of relevant Federal agencies, private sector experts in 
     banking, national security, and law enforcement, and other 
     stakeholders to examine strategies to increase cooperation 
     between the public and private sectors for purposes of 
     countering illicit finance, including proliferation finance 
     and sanctions evasion.
       (b) Meetings.--The supervisory team convened under 
     subsection (a) shall meet periodically to advise on 
     strategies to combat the risk relating to proliferation 
     financing.
       (c) Federal Advisory Committee Act.--The Federal Advisory

     SEC. 6215. FINANCIAL SERVICES DE-RISKING.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) providing vital humanitarian and development assistance 
     and protecting the integrity of the international financial 
     system are complementary goals;
       (2) nonprofit organizations based in the United States with 
     international activities often face difficulties with 
     financial access, most commonly the inability to send funds 
     internationally through transparent, regulated financial 
     channels;
       (3) without access to timely and predictable banking 
     services, nonprofit organizations, including international 
     development organizations, cannot carry out essential 
     humanitarian activities critical to the survival of those in 
     affected communities;
       (4) similar access issues are a concern for other 
     underserved individuals and entities such as those sending 
     remittances from the United States to their families overseas 
     and certain domestic and overseas jurisdictions that have 
     experienced curtailed access to cross-border financial 
     services due, in part, to de-risking;

[[Page H6515]]

       (5) the financial exclusion caused by de-risking can 
     ultimately drive money into less transparent, shadow channels 
     through the carrying of cash or use of unlicensed or 
     unregistered money service remitters, thus reducing 
     transparency and traceability, which are critical for 
     financial integrity, and can increase the risk of money 
     falling into the wrong hands;
       (6) effective measures are needed to stop the flow of 
     illicit funds and promote the goals of anti-money laundering 
     and countering the financing of terrorism and sanctions 
     regimes;
       (7) anti-money laundering, countering the financing of 
     terrorism, and sanctions policies are needed that do not 
     unduly hinder or delay the efforts of legitimate humanitarian 
     organizations in providing assistance to--
       (A) meet the needs of civilians facing a humanitarian 
     crisis, including enabling governments and humanitarian 
     organizations to provide them with timely access to food, 
     health, and medical care, shelter, and clean drinking water; 
     and
       (B) prevent or alleviate human suffering, in keeping with 
     requirements of international humanitarian law;
       (8) anti-money laundering, countering the financing of 
     terrorism, and sanctions policies must ensure that the 
     policies do not unduly hinder or delay legitimate access to 
     the international financial system for underserved 
     individuals, entities, and geographic areas;
       (9) policies that ensure that incidental, inadvertent 
     benefits that may indirectly benefit a designated group in 
     the course of delivering life-saving aid to civilian 
     populations are not the primary focus of Federal Government 
     enforcement efforts;
       (10) policies that encourage financial inclusion, 
     particularly of underserved populations, must remain a 
     priority; and
       (11) laws, regulations, policies, guidance, and other 
     measures that ensure the integrity of the financial system 
     through a risk-based approach should be prioritized.
       (b) GAO De-risking Analysis.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United 
     States shall conduct an analysis and submit to Congress a 
     report on financial services de-risking.
       (2) Contents.--The analysis required under paragraph (1) 
     shall--
       (A) rely substantially on information obtained through 
     prior de-risking analyses conducted by the Comptroller 
     General of the United States;
       (B) consider the many drivers of de-risking as identified 
     by the Financial Action Task Force, including profitability, 
     reputational risk, lower risk appetites of banks, regulatory 
     burdens and unclear expectations, and sanctions regimes; and
       (C) identify options for financial institutions handling 
     transactions or accounts for high-risk categories of clients 
     and for minimizing the negative effects of anti-money 
     laundering and countering the financing of terrorism 
     requirements on such individuals and entities and on certain 
     high-risk geographic jurisdictions, without compromising the 
     effectiveness of Federal anti-money laundering and countering 
     the financing of terrorism requirements.
       (c) Review of De-risking.--
       (1) Definition.--In this subsection, the term ``de-
     risking'' means actions taken by a financial institution to 
     terminate, fail to initiate, or restrict a business 
     relationship with a customer, or a category of customers, 
     rather than manage the risk associated with that relationship 
     consistent with risk-based supervisory or regulatory 
     requirements, due to drivers such as profitability, 
     reputational risk, lower risk appetites of banks, regulatory 
     burdens or unclear expectations, and sanctions regimes.
       (2) Review.--Upon completion of the analysis required under 
     subsection (b), the Secretary, in consultation with the 
     Federal functional regulators, State bank supervisors, State 
     credit union supervisors, and appropriate public- and 
     private-sector stakeholders shall--
       (A) undertake a formal review of the financial institution 
     reporting requirements, as in effect on the date of enactment 
     of this Act, including the processes used to submit reports 
     under the Bank Secrecy Act, regulations implementing the Bank 
     Secrecy Act, examination standards related to the Bank 
     Secrecy Act, and related guidance; and
       (B) propose changes, as appropriate, to those requirements 
     and examination standards described in paragraph (1) to 
     reduce any unnecessarily burdensome regulatory requirements 
     and ensure that the information provided fulfills the purpose 
     described in section 5311 of title 31, United States Code, as 
     amended by this division.
       (3) Contents.--The review required under paragraph (2) 
     shall--
       (A) rely substantially on information obtained through the 
     de-risking analyses conducted by the Comptroller General of 
     the United States; and
       (B) consider--
       (i) any adverse consequence of financial institutions de-
     risking entire categories of relationships, including 
     charities, embassy accounts, money services businesses, as 
     defined in section 1010.100 of title 31, Code of Federal 
     Regulations, or a successor regulation, agents of the 
     financial institutions, countries, international and domestic 
     regions, and respondent banks;
       (ii) the reasons why financial institutions are engaging in 
     de-risking, including the role of domestic and international 
     regulations, standards, and examinations;
       (iii) the association with and effects of de-risking on 
     money laundering and financial crime actors and activities;
       (iv) the most appropriate ways to promote financial 
     inclusion, particularly with respect to developing countries, 
     while maintaining compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act, 
     including an assessment of policy options to--

       (I) more effectively tailor Federal actions and penalties 
     to the size of foreign financial institutions and any 
     capacity limitations of foreign governments; and
       (II) reduce compliance costs that may lead to the adverse 
     consequences described in clause (i);

       (v) formal and informal feedback provided by examiners that 
     may have led to de-risking;
       (vi) the relationship between resources dedicated to 
     compliance and overall sophistication of compliance efforts 
     at entities that may be experiencing de-risking, especially 
     compared to those that have not experienced de-risking;
       (vii) best practices from the private sector that 
     facilitate correspondent banking relationships; and
       (viii) other matters that the Secretary determines are 
     appropriate.
       (4) Strategy on de-risking.--Upon the completion of the 
     review required under this subsection, the Secretary of the 
     Treasury, in consultation with the Federal functional 
     regulators, State bank supervisors, State credit union

     stakeholders, shall develop a strategy to reduce de-risking 
     and adverse consequences related to de-risking.

  TITLE LXIV--ESTABLISHING BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP INFORMATION REPORTING 
                              REQUIREMENTS

Sec. 6401. Short title.
Sec. 6402. Sense of Congress.
Sec. 6403. Beneficial ownership information reporting requirements.

     SEC. 6401. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Corporate Transparency 
     Act''.

     SEC. 6402. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) more than 2,000,000 corporations and limited liability 
     companies are being formed under the laws of the States each 
     year;
       (2) most or all States do not require information about the 
     beneficial owners of the corporations, limited liability 
     companies, or other similar entities formed under the laws of 
     the State;
       (3) malign actors seek to conceal their ownership of 
     corporations, limited liability companies, or other similar 
     entities in the United States to facilitate illicit activity, 
     including money laundering, the financing of terrorism, 
     proliferation financing, serious tax fraud, human and drug 
     trafficking, counterfeiting, piracy, securities fraud, 
     financial fraud, and acts of foreign corruption, harming the 
     national security interests of the United States and allies 
     of the United States;
       (4) money launderers and others involved in commercial 
     activity intentionally conduct transactions through corporate 
     structures in order to evade detection, and may layer such 
     structures, much like Russian nesting ``Matryoshka'' dolls, 
     across various secretive jurisdictions such that each time an 
     investigator obtains ownership records for a domestic or 
     foreign entity, the newly identified entity is yet another 
     corporate entity, necessitating a repeat of the same process;
       (5) Federal legislation providing for the collection of 
     beneficial ownership information for corporations, limited 
     liability companies, or other similar entities formed under 
     the laws of the States is needed to--
       (A) set a clear, Federal standard for incorporation 
     practices;
       (B) protect vital Unites States national security 
     interests;
       (C) protect interstate and foreign commerce;
       (D) better enable critical national security, intelligence, 
     and law enforcement efforts to counter money laundering, the 
     financing of terrorism, and other illicit activity; and
       (E) bring the United States into compliance with 
     international anti-money laundering and countering the 
     financing of terrorism standards;
       (6) beneficial ownership information collected under the 
     amendments made by this title is sensitive information and 
     will be directly available only to authorized government 
     authorities, subject to effective safeguards and controls, 
     to--
       (A) facilitate important national security, intelligence, 
     and law enforcement activities; and
       (B) confirm beneficial ownership information provided to 
     financial institutions to facilitate the compliance of the 
     financial institutions with anti-money laundering, countering 
     the financing of terrorism, and customer due diligence 
     requirements under applicable law;
       (7) consistent with applicable law, the Secretary of the 
     Treasury shall--
       (A) maintain the information described in paragraph (1) in 
     a secure, nonpublic database, using information security 
     methods and techniques that are appropriate to protect 
     nonclassified information systems at the highest security 
     level; and
       (B) take all steps, including regular auditing, to ensure 
     that government authorities accessing beneficial ownership 
     information do so only for authorized purposes consistent 
     with this title; and
       (8) in prescribing regulations to provide for the reporting 
     of beneficial ownership information, the Secretary shall, to 
     the greatest extent practicable consistent with the purposes 
     of this title--
       (A) seek to minimize burdens on reporting companies 
     associated with the collection of beneficial ownership 
     information;
       (B) provide clarity to reporting companies concerning the 
     identification of their beneficial owners; and
       (C) collect information in a form and manner that is 
     reasonably designed to generate a database that is highly 
     useful to national security, intelligence, and law 
     enforcement agencies and Federal functional regulators.

     SEC. 8106. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON NEED FOR NEW GREAT LAKES 
                   ICEBREAKER.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Great Lakes shipping industry is crucial to the 
     American economy, including the United States manufacturing 
     base, providing important economic and national security 
     benefits.
       (2) A recent study found that the Great Lakes shipping 
     industry supports 237,000 jobs and tens of billions of 
     dollars in economic activity.
       (3) United States Coast Guard icebreaking capacity is 
     crucial to full utilization of the Great Lakes shipping 
     system, as during the winter icebreaking season up to 15 
     percent of annual

[[Page H6529]]

     cargo loads are delivered, and many industries would have to 
     reduce their production if Coast Guard icebreaking services 
     were not provided.
       (4) 6 of the Coast Guard's 9 icebreaking cutters in the 
     Great Lakes are more than 30 years old and are frequently 
     inoperable during the winter icebreaking season, including 
     those that have completed a recent service life extension 
     program.
       (5) During the previous 10 winters, Coast Guard Great Lakes 
     icebreaking cutters have been inoperable for an average of 65 
     cutter-days during the winter icebreaking season, with this 
     annual lost capability exceeding 100 cutter days, with a high 
     of 246 cutter days during the winter of 2017-2018.
       (6) The 2019 ice season provides further proof that current 
     Coast Guard icebreaking capacity is inadequate for the needs 
     of the Great Lakes shipping industry, as only 6 of the 9 
     icebreaking cutters are operational, and millions of tons of 
     cargo was not loaded or was delayed due to inadequate Coast 
     Guard icebreaking assets during a historically average winter 
     for Great Lakes ice coverage.
       (7) The Congress has authorized the Coast Guard to acquire 
     a new Great Lakes icebreaker as capable as Coast Guard Cutter 
     Mackinaw (WLBB-30), the most capable Great Lakes icebreaker, 
     and $10 million has been appropriated to fund the design and 
     initial acquisition work for this icebreaker.
       (8) The Coast Guard has not initiated a new acquisition 
     program for this Great Lakes icebreaker.
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     of the United States that a new Coast Guard icebreaker as 
     capable as Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw (WLBB-30) is needed on 
     the Great Lakes, and the Coast Guard should acquire this 
     icebreaker as soon as possible.

     SEC. 8107. PROCUREMENT AUTHORITY FOR GREAT LAKES ICEBREAKER.

       (a) In General.--Of the amounts authorized to be 
     appropriated by section 4902(2)(A)(ii) of title 14, United 
     States Code, as amended by section 8101 of this division, 
     $160,000,000 for fiscal year 2021 is authorized for the 
     acquisition of a Great Lakes icebreaker at least as capable 
     as Coast Guard Cutter  Mackinaw (WLBB-30).
       (b) Report.--Not later than 30 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Commandant shall submit to the 
     Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the 
     Senate and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure 
     of the House of Representatives a plan for acquiring an 
     icebreaker as required by section 820(b) of the Frank 
     LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 (Public Law 
     115-282).

       (1) the extent to which specifications, key drawings, and 
     detail design for the Polar Security Cutter are complete 
     before the start of construction;
       (2) the extent to which Polar Security Cutter hulls numbers

                           Subtitle C--Arctic

     SEC. 8421. COAST GUARD ARCTIC PRIORITIZATION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The strategic importance of the Arctic continues to 
     increase as the United States and other countries recognize 
     the military significance of the sea lanes and choke points 
     within the region and understand the potential for power 
     projection from the Arctic into multiple regions.
       (2) Russia and China have conducted military exercises 
     together in the Arctic, have agreed to connect the Northern 
     Sea Route, claimed by Russia, with China's Maritime Silk 
     Road, and are working together in developing natural gas 
     resources in the Arctic.
       (3) The economic significance of the Arctic continues to 
     grow as countries around the globe begin to understand the 
     potential for maritime transportation through, and economic 
     and trade development in, the region.
       (4) Increases in human, maritime, and resource development 
     activity in the Arctic region may create additional mission 
     requirements for the Department of Defense and the Department 
     of Homeland Security.
       (5) The increasing role of the United States in the Arctic 
     has been highlighted in each of the last four national 
     defense authorization acts.
       (6) The United States Coast Guard Arctic Strategic Outlook 
     released in April 2019 states, ``Demonstrating commitment to 
     operational presence, Canada, Denmark, and Norway have made 
     strategic investments in ice-capable patrol ships charged 
     with national or homeland security missions. The United 
     States is the only Arctic State that has not made similar 
     investments in ice-capable surface maritime security assets. 
     This limits the ability of the Coast Guard, and the Nation, 
     to credibly uphold sovereignty or respond to contingencies in 
     the Arctic.''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Arctic is a region of strategic importance to the 
     national security interests of the United States, and the 
     Coast Guard must better align its mission prioritization and 
     development of capabilities to meet the growing array of 
     challenges in the region;
       (2) the increasing freedom of navigation and expansion of 
     activity in the Arctic must be met with an increasing show of 
     Coast Guard forces capable of exerting influence through 
     persistent presence;
       (3) Congress fully supports the needed and important re-
     capitalization of the fleet of cutters and aircraft of the 
     Coast Guard, but, the Coast Guard must avoid overextending 
     operational assets for remote international missions at the 
     cost of dedicated focus on this domestic area of 
     responsibility with significant international interest and 
     activity; and
       (4) although some progress has been made to increase 
     awareness of Arctic issues and to promote increased presence 
     in the region, additional measures are needed to protect 
     vital economic, environmental, and national security 
     interests of the United States, and to show the commitment of 
     the United States to this emerging strategic choke point of 
     increasing great power competition.
       (c) Arctic Defined.--In this section, the term ``Arctic'' 
     has the meaning given that term in section 112 of the Arctic

     technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum 
     information science, and what may be the consequences;
       (5) recommendations on how the United States can take steps 
     to mitigate the influence of the People's Republic of China 
     and bolster United States public and private sector 
     participation in international standards-setting bodies; and
       (6) any other area the Director, in consultation with the 
     entity selected to conduct the study, determines is important 
     to address.
       (b) Report to Congress.--The agreement entered into under 
     subsection (a) shall provide that, not later than two years 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, the entity 
     conducting the study shall--
       (1) submit to the Committee on Science, Space, and 
     Technology and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House 
     of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science,

                   AT INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) Taiwan is responsible for remarkable achievements in 
     economic and democratic development, with its per capita 
     gross domestic product rising in purchasing power parity 
     terms from $3,470 in 1980 to more than $55,000 in 2018;
       (2) the experience of Taiwan in creating a vibrant and 
     advanced economy under democratic governance and the rule of 
     law can inform the work of the international financial 
     institutions, including through the contributions and 
     insights of Taiwan nationals; and
       (3) Taiwan nationals who seek employment at the 
     international financial institutions should not be held at a 
     disadvantage in hiring because the economic success of Taiwan 
     has rendered it ineligible for financial assistance from such 
     institutions.
       (b) In General.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall 
     instruct the United States Executive Director at each 
     international financial institution to use the voice and vote 
     of the United States to seek to ensure that Taiwan nationals 
     are not discriminated against in any employment decision by 
     the institution, including employment through consulting or 
     part-time opportunities, on the basis of--
       (1) whether they are citizens or nationals of, or holders 
     of a passport issued by, a member country of, or a state or 
     other jurisdiction that receives assistance from, the 
     international financial institution; or
       (2) any other consideration that, in the determination of 
     the Secretary, unfairly disadvantages Taiwan nationals with 
     respect to employment at the institution.
       (c) Waiver Authority.--The Secretary of the Treasury may 
     waive subsection (b) for not more than 1 year at a time after 
     reporting to the Committee on Financial Services of the House 
     of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of 
     the Senate that providing the waiver--
       (1) will substantially promote the objective of equitable 
     treatment for Taiwan nationals at the international financial 
     institutions; or
       (2) is in the national interest of the United States, with 
     a detailed explanation of the reasons therefor.
       (d) Progress Report.--The Chairman of the National Advisory 
     Council on International Monetary and Financial Policies 
     shall submit to the committees specified in subsection (c) an 
     annual report, in writing, that describes the progress made

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 6395), to authorize 
     appropriations for fiscal year 2021 for military activities 
     of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and 
     for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to 
     prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, 
     and for other purposes, submit the following joint statement 
     to the House and the Senate in explanation of the effect of 
     the action agreed upon by the managers and recommended in the 
     accompanying conference report:
       The Senate amendment struck all of the House bill after the 
     enacting clause and inserted a substitute text.
       The House recedes from its disagreement to the amendment of 
     the Senate with an amendment that is a substitute for the 
     House bill and the Senate amendment. The differences between 
     the House bill, the Senate amendment, and the substitute 
     agreed to in conference are noted below, except for clerical 
     corrections, conforming changes made necessary by agreements 
     reached by the conferees, and minor drafting and clarifying 
     changes.
     Compliance with rules of the House of Representatives and 
         Senate regarding earmarks and congressionally directed 
         spending items
       Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House 
     of Representatives and Rule XLIV(3) of the Standing Rules of 
     the Senate, neither this conference report nor the 
     accompanying joint statement of managers 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 authority 
         implication
       The budget request for national defense discretionary 
     programs within the jurisdiction of the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives for 
     fiscal year 2021 was $731.6 billion. Of this amount, $636.3 
     billion was requested for base Department of Defense 
     programs, $69.0 billion was requested for overseas 
     contingency operations, $26.0 billion was requested for 
     national security programs in the Department of Energy and 
     the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, and $314.0 
     million for defense-related activities.
       The conference agreement would authorize $731.6 billion in 
     fiscal year 2021, including $635.5 billion for base 
     Department of Defense programs, $69.0 billion for overseas 
     contingency operations, $26.6 billion for national security 
     programs in the Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear 
     Facilities Safety Board, and $494.0 million for defense-
     related activities.
       The two tables preceding the detailed program adjustments 
     in Division D of the accompanying joint statement of managers 
     summarize the discretionary authorizations in the agreement 
     and the equivalent budget authority levels for fiscal year 
     2021 defense programs.
     Budgetary effects of this Act (sec. 4)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1002) that would 
     state the budgetary effects of this Act for the purpose of 
     complying with the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 
     (Public Law 111-139).
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     4).
       The House recedes.

            DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATIONS

                          TITLE I--PROCUREMENT


                              BUDGET ITEMS

     Columbia-class submarine advance procurement
       The budget request included $1.1 billion in line item 2 of 
     Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy, for Columbia-class 
     submarine advance procurement.
       The House bill would authorize the amount of the request.
       The Senate amendment would authorize an increase of $175.0 
     million above the request.
       The agreement authorizes an increase of $130.0 million 
     above the request.
       The conferees' intent in authorizing additional funds for 
     submarine industrial base expansion is to ensure second- and 
     third-tier contractors are able to meet increased production 
     requirements.
       The conferees' direct the Secretary of the Navy to notify 
     the congressional defense committees within 30 days of 
     obligating such funds of the: obligation date, contractor 
     name or names, location, description of the shortfall to be 
     addressed, actions to be undertaken, desired end state, 
     usable end items to be procured, period of performance, 
     dollar amount, projected associated savings including 
     business case analysis if applicable, contract name, and 
     contract number.
       The conferees believe that expanding the capabilities of 
     the second- and third-tier contractors in the submarine 
     industrial base should lead to greater cost savings and 
     improved efficiency as production increases to meet the 
     Columbia-class schedule and higher requirement for Virginia-
     class attack submarines in the Navy's latest Force Structure 
     Assessment.

              Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations

     Authorization of appropriations (sec. 101)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 101) that would 
     authorize appropriations for procurement at the levels 
     identified in section 4101 of division D of this Act.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     101).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

[[Page H6590]]

  


                       Subtitle B--Army Programs

     Modifications to requirement for an interim cruise missile 
         defense capability (sec. 111)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 113) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees the plan to operationally 
     deploy or forward station interim cruise missile defense 
     capabilities pursuant to section 112 of the John S. McCain 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
     (Public Law 115-232) and would modify the deployment deadline 
     waiver.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with technical amendments.
     Report and limitations on acquisition of Integrated Visual 
         Augmentation System (sec. 112)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 112) that 
     would place a limitation on obligation of funds for 
     procurement of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System 
     pending submission of a report by the Secretary of the Army 
     subsequent to the completion of operational testing.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     limitation and report of the Secretary of the Army and add an 
     assessment by the Director of Operational Test and 
     Evaluation.
     Assessment of investment and sustainment for procurement of 
         cannon tubes (sec. 113)
       The House bill contained a provision. (sec. 135) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Army to develop a comprehensive, 
     long-term strategy and sustainment plan for the development, 
     production, procurement, and modernization of cannon and 
     large caliber weapons tubes.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     requirement to assess the development, production, and 
     modernization of the defense industrial base for cannon and 
     large caliber weapons tubes.
       The conferees recognize the importance of modernizing and 
     sustaining long-range artillery and other weapon systems that 
     require cannon and large caliber weapons tubes. Further, the 
     conferees note that our defense industrial base is a critical 
     partner in meeting current and emerging Army and Joint Force 
     requirements. Therefore, the assessment should include: (1) A 
     review of the cannon tube industrial base to meet near and 
     long-term development and production requirements; (2) An 
     evaluation of any capability gaps given current, planned, and 
     anticipated program demands; and (3) An analysis of the 
     resources required and planned for the cannon tube industrial 
     base across the future years defense program.

                       Subtitle C--Navy Programs

     Limitation on alteration of the Navy fleet mix (sec. 121)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5121) that 
     would express the sense of Congress on the importance of the 
     Navy shipbuilding industrial base, limit deviations to the 
     Navy's 2016 requirement for large surface combatants, and 
     require a report on large surface combatants.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     sense of Congress and modify the limitation on deviations to 
     the Navy's 2016 requirement for large surface combatants.
       The conferees believe that prototyping critical subsystems 
     is essential to maturing new technologies and reducing 
     technical risks for lead ships in new classes of naval 
     vessels. The conferees understand Navy officials are 
     considering design changes to the Zumwalt-class of destroyers 
     to increase the combat capability, potentially including the 
     integration of a different missile launcher, radar, and 
     combat system.
       The conferees view these potential changes to the Zumwalt-
     class as opportunities to mature technology and reduce 
     technical and integration risks for the next Large Surface 
     Combatant class of vessels, as required by section 131(a)(2) 
     of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2020 (Public Law 116-92), while also providing more capable 
     Zumwalt-class destroyers to fleet commanders.
       Accordingly, the conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy 
     to submit to the congressional defense committees not later 
     than March 1, 2021, a report on potential Zumwalt-class 
     capability upgrades. This report shall include:
       (1) Navy plans or options under review to upgrade Zumwalt-
     class destroyers, including, but not limited to, missile 
     launchers, radars, and combat systems;
       (2) The extent to which the plans or options under review 
     identified in paragraph (1) could provide opportunities to 
     mature technology and reduce technical and integration risks 
     for the next Large Surface Combatant class of vessels;
       (3) The extent to which the plans or options under review 
     identified in paragraph (1) are included in the Navy's plans 
     to comply with section 131 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92); 
     and
       (4) Any related matters the Secretary deems appropriate.
     Limitations on Navy medium and large unmanned surface vessels 
         (sec. 122)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 122) that 
     would require that certain technical conditions be met prior 
     to Milestone B approval for medium and large unmanned surface 
     vessels.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would reduce the 
     minimum number of certain systems to be qualified and the 
     period of continuous operation of such systems to satisfy 
     qualification requirements, as well as allow the Secretary of 
     the Navy to release certain requests for proposals and 
     contract for certain government furnished equipment prior to 
     Milestone B approval for medium and large unmanned surface 
     vessels.
     Fighter force structure acquisition strategy (sec. 123)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 125) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Navy to align the 
     Department's tactical aviation fighter force structure 
     acquisition strategy with the results of the various 
     independent studies required by section 1064 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 
     115-91), and not later than March 1, 2021, to transmit the 
     strategy in a report to the congressional defense committees. 
     The provision would also require the Secretary to establish a 
     minimum number of F-35 and Next Generation Air Dominance 
     aircraft that the Navy and Marine Corps would be required to 
     procure each year to mitigate strike-fighter shortfalls. 
     Finally, the provision would prohibit the Department of the 
     Navy's tactical aviation acquisition programs from deviating 
     from the acquisition strategy until the Secretary receives a 
     waiver from the Secretary of Defense and 30 days have expired 
     after submission of the justification information and 
     proposed deviation are submitted to the congressional defense 
     committees.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would instead 
     require the Secretary of the Navy to submit an acquisition 
     strategy for the Navy's tactical fighter aircraft force 
     structure that enables the Department of the Navy to achieve 
     the capability and capacity requirements necessary to meet 
     the objectives of the National Defense Strategy.
       The conferees understand the Navy's need to transition to 
     F-35C procurement but remain concerned regarding the Navy's 
     decision to cease procurement of F/A-18E/F Super Hornet 
     aircraft from its fiscal year 2022 to 2025 future years 
     defense plan. Given the significant immaturity of the Navy's 
     Next-Generation Air Dominance program and that F-35C aircraft 
     are still currently in low rate production, the conferees 
     believe that decision could induce greater operational risk 
     in the future for combatant commanders as well as increase 
     the Navy's forecasted strike-fighter deficit in fiscal year 
     2021 from -49 to -58 aircraft. Finally, the conferees note 
     that the Navy currently designs its aircraft carrier air-
     wings (CVWs) without including traditional margin for 
     attrition reserve strike-fighter aircraft that would 
     supplement forces in cases of training or contingency 
     operational losses of aircraft. Therefore, the conferees 
     believe the Navy should plan and budget for 54 strike-fighter 
     aircraft per CVW instead of the current 44 strike-fighter 
     aircraft per CVW.
     Procurement authorities for certain amphibious shipbuilding 
         programs (sec. 124)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 124) that 
     would allow the Secretary of the Navy to enter into one or 
     more contracts for the procurement of three San Antonio-class 
     amphibious ships and one America-class amphibious ship.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees believe that better planning and execution of 
     long lead time material (LLTM) purchases for Navy 
     shipbuilding programs could generate significant benefits for 
     such programs, including material delivery schedules that 
     better support the critical path at a more affordable cost, a 
     firmer signal to the supplier base that better stabilizes the 
     marketplace, and incentives for the industrial base to 
     capitalize and invest in workforce development. The conferees 
     understand that suboptimal LLTM funding requests in the past 
     have contributed, directly or indirectly, to construction 
     delays, cost increases, supplier base instability, and 
     depressed industrial base investment.
       Accordingly, the conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy 
     to submit a report to the congressional defense committees 
     concurrent with the President's budget request for fiscal 
     year 2022 on the optimal funding profile for each new 
     construction or refueling and complex overhaul program for 
     which a funding request is included in the Shipbuilding and 
     Conversion, Navy account in the fiscal year 2022 future years 
     defense program (FYDP).
       This report shall include, at a minimum, for each such 
     covered program: (1) A description of LLTM needs to support 
     associated construction milestones, including an itemized 
     list of LLTM with the material, production duration, purchase 
     lead time, required in-yard need date, vendor, vendor 
     location, and approximate cost; (2) The fiscal year 2022 FYDP 
     funding profile, including procurement full funding and 
     advance procurement funding for such LLTM with an itemized 
     description; (3) The optimal fiscal year 2022 FYDP funding 
     profile to support associated construction milestones, 
     including procurement full funding and advance

[[Page H6591]]

     procurement funding for such LLTM with an itemized 
     description; (4) The benefits and program risk reduction that 
     could be realized from pursuing the funding profiles 
     described under paragraph (3) in terms of construction 
     schedule, cost, supplier base stability, industrial base 
     investment, and any other factors the Secretary deems 
     appropriate; and (5) Any related matters the Secretary deems 
     appropriate.
     Land-based test program for the FFG(X) frigate program (sec. 
         125)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 111) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that an 
     independent cost estimate had been completed prior to 
     milestone B for the FFG(X) frigate program.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement for an independent cost estimate prior to 
     milestone B and add a requirement for a land-based test 
     program for the FFG(X) frigate program, which has recently 
     been designated the Constellation-class (FFG-62).
       The conferees note that a contract for up to 10 
     Constellation-class frigates was awarded in April 2020 with a 
     potential cumulative value of $5.6 billion. Given that the 
     Constellation-class will play a significant role in the Navy 
     battle force for many decades and the current program of 
     record calls for building 20 frigates, the conferees believe 
     a strong technical foundation for this program is critically 
     important.
       The conferees note that the winning Constellation-class 
     ship design is based on a foreign design. While recognizing 
     an existing parent design can reduce design, technical, and 
     integration risks, the conferees are concerned that 
     significant risks remain in the FFG-62 program, including: 
     cost realism; shifting to predominantly U.S. component 
     suppliers instead of the mainly foreign suppliers used in the 
     parent vessel design; and a complex Combined Diesel Electric 
     and Gas Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) drive train 
     that has not previously been used on U.S. Navy ships.
       The conferees believe land based engineering and test sites 
     (LBETS) are critical resources for the Department of Defense, 
     particularly for Navy ship HM&E systems. For example, the 
     conferees note the Arleigh Burke-class (DDG-51) LBETS at 
     Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) 
     has supported the fleet through systems development, testing 
     and evaluation, and training for 31 years. Since 1989, this 
     LBETS has trained more than 2,000 Navy sailors, supported all 
     68 DDG 51-class destroyers commissioned to date, and 
     continues to support DDG 51-class destroyer acquisition as 
     the Navy acquires new versions of the destroyer, including 
     modifying the LBETS to support new DDG-51 Flight III systems.
       Since 1972, NSWCPD LBETS testing has reduced the 
     acquisition risk of five of the seven Navy surface combatant 
     classes (Spruance-class, Oliver Hazard Perry-class, 
     Ticonderoga-class, Arleigh Burke-class, and Zumwalt-class). 
     The Arleigh Burke-class LBETS has included crew training, as 
     well as cost and risk avoidance for major machinery upgrades 
     during the service life of the class. The littoral combat 
     ship (LCS) classes, the Freedom- and Independence-classes, 
     are the two recent classes that have not had the benefit of a 
     LBETS. Since lead ship deliveries in 2008 and 2010, both LCS 
     classes have encountered significant, costly, and 
     debilitating engineering failures. The conferees believe many 
     of these LCS engineering failures would have been discovered, 
     analyzed, and corrected faster with less negative operational 
     impact had the Navy established a LCS LBETS.
       Accordingly, the provision would require the Secretary of 
     the Navy to establish a FFG-62 class LBETS as soon as 
     possible. The primary objectives of the FFG-62 LBETS shall be 
     to demonstrate across the full range of engineering plant 
     operations: (1) Test of the full propulsion drive train; (2) 
     Test and facilitation of machinery control systems 
     integration; and (3) Simulation of the full range of 
     electrical demands to enable the investigation of load 
     dynamics between the HM&E equipment, combat system, and 
     auxiliary equipment.
       The provision would direct the Secretary to commence full-
     scale LBETS testing prior to delivery of FFG-62 and complete 
     the test program not later than the date FFG-62 is scheduled 
     to be available for tasking by operational military 
     commanders.
       In addition, the conferees direct the Secretary to submit 
     to the congressional defense committees a plan to implement 
     this section with the budget materials that accompany the 
     President's Budget request for fiscal year 2022. This plan 
     shall include the costs, activities, and test plan necessary 
     to meet the requirements under this section.
     Treatment in future budgets of the President of systems added 
         by Congress (sec. 126)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 126) that 
     would preclude the inclusion in future annual budget requests 
     of a procurement quantity of a system previously authorized 
     and appropriated by the Congress that was greater than the 
     quantity of such system requested in the President's Budget 
     request.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     effect of this provision to the Shipbuilding and Conversion, 
     Navy account.
     Extension of prohibition on availability of funds for Navy 
         waterborne security barriers (sec. 127)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 123) that 
     would extend the prohibition on availability of funds for 
     Navy waterborne security barriers.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on strategy to use ALQ-249 Next Generation Jammer to 
         ensure full spectrum electromagnetic superiority (sec. 
         128)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 128) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Navy, in consultation with 
     the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to provide a 
     report to the congressional defense committees, no later than 
     July 30, 2021, defining a strategy to ensure full spectrum 
     electromagnetic superiority using the ALQ-249 Next Generation 
     Jammer.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

                     Subtitle D--Air Force Programs

     Minimum operational squadron level (sec. 131)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 143) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force to seek to 
     achieve, as soon as practicable after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act and subject to the availability of 
     appropriations, no fewer than 386 available operational 
     squadrons, or equivalent organizational units, within the Air 
     Force, comprised of specific Primary Mission Aircraft 
     Inventory levels in the following mission areas:
       (1) 1,680 Fighter aircraft;
       (2) 199 Persist attack remotely piloted aircraft;
       (3) 225 Bomber aircraft;
       (4) 500 Air refueling aircraft;
       (5) 286 Tactical airlift aircraft;
       (6) 284 Strategic airlift aircraft;
       (7) 55 Command and control aircraft;
       (8) 105 Combat search and rescue aircraft;
       (9) 30 Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance 
     aircraft;
       (10) 179 Special operations aircraft; and,
       (11) 40 Electronic warfare aircraft.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     require the Secretary to seek a moderate risk aviation force 
     structure of not fewer than 3,580 combat coded aircraft, 
     which is the total quantity of mission-type aircraft still 
     applicable from the Senate amendment. The amendment would 
     also authorize the Secretary, based on the fielding of new 
     capabilities and formal force structure capability 
     assessments in consultation with the Chief of Staff of the 
     Air Force and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to 
     modify the combat-coded aircraft total across mission areas, 
     if warranted. Finally, the amendment would require the 
     Secretary to submit to the congressional defense committees 
     at the earliest opportunity any updates to the aviation force 
     structure planning construct.
       The conferees agree that the current quantity of Air Force 
     combat coded aircraft incurs levels of risk beyond moderate 
     and is not aligned with the National Defense Strategy (NDS). 
     The conferees acknowledge that multiple independent and 
     Department-wide studies have been conducted that recommend 
     similar levels of a minimum quantity of combat coded aircraft 
     by mission type that would be required to achieve the NDS at 
     a moderate operational risk, as defined by the Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff Manual 3105.018 titled ``Joint Risk 
     Analysis.''
     Modification of force structure objectives for bomber 
         aircraft (sec. 132)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 121) that would 
     amend section 9062(h)(2) of title 10, United States Code, by 
     changing the B-1 combat coded aircraft requirement from 36 to 
     24. This provision would also set requirements for storage 
     and maintainer billets.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a modifying amendment that would 
     provide for the required combat capability while preserving 
     maintenance capacity until the B-21 is fielded. The conferees 
     agree that long range strike with standoff weapons will 
     principally be conducted by the B-1 Lancer and B-52 
     Stratofortress bombers over the next decade. Therefore, the 
     conferees believe that it is imperative to provide a legacy 
     bomber modernization program that is commensurate with the 
     intended service life.
     Minimum bomber aircraft force level (sec. 133)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 129) that would 
     require a report not later than February 1, 2021, by the 
     Secretary of the Air Force on the bomber aircraft force 
     structure that enables the Air Force to meet the requirements 
     of its long-range strike mission under the National Defense 
     Strategy.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     144).
       The Senate recedes as the report has been incorporated 
     elsewhere in the bill.
     Required minimum inventory of tactical airlift aircraft (sec. 
         134)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1043) that 
     required the Secretary of the Air

[[Page H6592]]

     Force to maintain a total inventory of tactical airlift 
     aircraft of not less than 292 aircraft.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would establish a 
     primary mission aircraft floor of 230 C-130s and a total C-
     130 aircraft floor for Fiscal Year 2021 of 287 aircraft.
       The conferees believe that the Secretary of the Air Force 
     should be provided latitude to reduce aircraft below the 
     Mobility Capability Requirement Study of 2018 if such a 
     reduction: is supported by Mobility Capability 
     Requirement Study required by section 1712 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2020; and, to 
     transition aircraft to an alternative flying mission or 
     upgrade to a later tactical airlift aircraft.
     Inventory requirements for air refueling tanker aircraft 
         (sec. 135)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 125) that would 
     prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated in 
     fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2023 for the retirement of 
     any KC-135 aircraft, or reduce the number of primary mission 
     KC-135 aircraft. This provision would also require the Air 
     Force to maintain a minimum of 50 primary mission KC-10A 
     aircraft in fiscal year 2021, 38 primary mission KC-10A 
     aircraft in fiscal year 2022, and 26 primary mission KC-10A 
     aircraft in fiscal year 2023.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a modifying amendment.
       The conferees are encouraged by the Air Force's actions to 
     find solutions for the KC-46 remote visual system 
     deficiencies but are concerned that the implementation will 
     require additional tanker capacity that should temporarily 
     limit the retirement of legacy tankers. The required funds 
     for continued use of these legacy tankers is addressed 
     elsewhere in the bill.
     Authority to use F-35A fighter aircraft AT-1 through AT-6 
         (sec. 136)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 172) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of the Air Force to utilize, 
     modify, and operate the six Turkish F-35A aircraft that were 
     accepted by the Government of Turkey but never delivered 
     because Turkey was suspended from the F-35 program.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     the Secretary of the Air Force, through written approval by 
     the Secretary of Defense, to utilize, modify, and operate the 
     six Turkish F-35A aircraft, addressed in the report 
     encompassing this Act, and require the Secretary of Defense 
     to provide the written approval documentation to the 
     congressional defense committees.
     F-35 aircraft gun system ammunition (sec. 137)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 145) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force to begin the 
     acquisition process for an alternate 25mm ammunition solution 
     that provides a true full-spectrum target engagement 
     capability for the F-35A.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     require the Director of the F-35 Joint Program Office, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of the Air Force, to take 
     appropriate actions to ensure that any 25mm ammunition 
     fielded for use by F-35A aircraft provides effective full-
     spectrum target engagement capability.
     Extension of limitation on availability of funds for 
         retirement of RC-135 aircraft (sec. 138)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 122) that would 
     prohibit the Air Force from retiring, or preparing to retire, 
     any RC-135 aircraft through fiscal year 2025 until 60 days 
     after the date on which the Secretary of Defense certifies to 
     the congressional defense committees that equivalent RC-135 
     capacity and capability exists to meet combatant commander 
     requirements for indications and warning, intelligence 
     preparation of the operational environment, and direct 
     support to kinetic and non-kinetic operations.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a modifying amendment that would 
     extend the prohibition to fiscal year 2021.
     Modification to limitation on retirement of U-2 and RQ-4 
         aircraft (sec. 139)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 124) that would 
     limit obligation or expenditure of 50 percent of the funding 
     available for the Advanced Battle Management System until one 
     of three conditions is met: (1) The Secretary of the Air 
     Force certifies that the Air Force will not retire any RQ-4 
     Global Hawk aircraft during fiscal year 2021; (2) The Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment 
     certifies that the validated operating and sustainment costs 
     of any capability developed to replace the RQ-4 aircraft are 
     less than the validated operating and sustainment costs for 
     the RQ-4 aircraft on a comparable flight-hour cost basis, and 
     the Chairman of the Joint Requirements Oversight Council 
     certifies that any replacement capability for the RQ-4 
     aircraft would result in equal or greater capability 
     available to the commanders of the combatant commands and 
     would not result in less capacity available to the commanders 
     of the combatant commands; or (3) The Secretary of Defense 
     certifies that a replacement capability for the RQ-4 aircraft 
     is worth increased operating and sustainment costs.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     148) that would limit the retirement of any U-2 or RQ-4 
     aircraft until the Chairman of the Joint Requirements 
     Oversight Council certifies to the congressional defense and 
     intelligence committees that the operational capabilities 
     available to the combatant commanders would not be affected 
     by such a decision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     amend the waiver requirements to the certification required 
     by section 136 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91).
       The conferees note that section 136 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 clearly defines the 
     necessary requirements and approval authorities the Air Force 
     would need to take to begin the retirement or divestment of 
     either the RQ-4 or U-2 aircraft. In February 2020, the Air 
     Force transmitted a budget proposal to the Congress that 
     sought to divest all RQ-4 Block 30 and Block 20 aircraft. 
     Contrary to section 136 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2018, the Air Force did not provide 
     either the required certifications or a waiver from the 
     Secretary of Defense. The conferees further note that, 10 
     months after the fiscal year 2021 budget submission, neither 
     of these existing requirements for RQ-4 aircraft retirement 
     have been met. The conferees understand and acknowledge that 
     modernizing airborne intelligence, surveillance, and 
     reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities will necessitate divestment 
     of legacy systems. However, the conferees remain concerned 
     about the Air Force's continued inability to execute an ISR 
     acquisition and replacement plan that appropriately manages 
     operational risk to the global combatant commanders, as well 
     as the service's failure to comply with current public law. 
     However, until the Air Force provides a comprehensive ISR 
     modernization plan, addressed elsewhere in this bill, the 
     conferees will continue to be concerned about the sequence of 
     retiring operational aircraft without a suitable replacement 
     capability in place and available.
     Modification of limitation on availability of funds for 
         retirement of E-8 JSTARS aircraft (sec. 140)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 123) that would 
     amend section 147(a) of the John S. McCain National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) 
     to prohibit any use of funds authorized to be appropriated in 
     fiscal year 2021 or any subsequent year for the Air Force to 
     retire, or prepare to retire, any E-8 Joint Surveillance 
     Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) aircraft until the date 
     on which the Secretary of Defense certifies to the 
     congressional defense committees that there is a replacement 
     capability identified that meets or exceeds the current 
     capability and capacity of the 16-aircraft E-8 fleet to meet 
     global combatant command requirements.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
       The conferees note that JSTARS ground moving target 
     indicator and airborne battle management and command and 
     control capabilities continue to be in high demand from 
     global combatant commanders. While the conferees are aware 
     that planned replacement capabilities are under development 
     and making progress, the conferees are concerned about 
     insufficient modernization and sustainment funding for the 
     current platforms. The conferees expect to see adequate 
     resources budgeted in fiscal years 2022 and beyond while 
     JSTARS is flying these missions in support of overseas 
     operations. Preserving the resident JSTARS command and 
     control expertise with decades' worth of combat experience 
     should be a high priority for the Air Force.
     Limitation on divestment of F-15C aircraft within the 
         European theater (sec. 141)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 149) that 
     would restrict the divestment of F-15Cs in the European 
     theater until the F-15EX is integrated into the Air Force and 
     has begun bed down actions in the theater. The provision 
     would also provide a waiver from the limitation if the 
     Secretary of Defense notifies the congressional defense 
     committees with appropriate justification.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     prohibit the divestment of F-15Cs in the European theater 
     until the Commander, U.S. European Command, in consultation 
     with the Commander, U.S. Air Forces Europe, provides a report 
     that describes the strategy, force structure construct and 
     capacity, and strategy implementation plan to maintain 
     inherent and equal or better air superiority capability and 
     capacity in the commander's European area of responsibility 
     that will replace the capability and capacity that the F-15C 
     currently provides for the commander.
     Modernization plan for airborne intelligence, surveillance, 
         and reconnaissance (sec. 142)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 128) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a 
     comprehensive strategy for Air Force airborne intelligence, 
     surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) to ensure alignment 
     between requirements, future Air Force budget submissions, 
     and authorization of appropriations. The required plan would 
     cover current steady-state, contingency, and future multi-
     domain operations

[[Page H6593]]

     for Air Force ISR. This section would also require the Air 
     Force to submit a classified annex to the report as 
     necessary.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     RC-26B manned intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance 
         aircraft (sec. 143)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 130) that would 
     prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or 
     otherwise made available for fiscal year 2021 for the Air 
     Force to be obligated or expended to retire, divest, realign, 
     or place in storage or on backup aircraft inventory status, 
     or prepare to retire, divest, realign, or place in storage or 
     on backup aircraft inventory status any RC-26B aircraft.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Prohibition on funding for Close Air Support Integration 
         Group (sec. 144)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 146) that 
     would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of funds for the 
     Close Air Support Integration Group or its subordinate units 
     at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Required solution for KC-46 aircraft remote visual system 
         limitations (sec. 145)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 151) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force to develop and 
     implement a solution to the KC-46 remote visual system 
     operational limitations.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Analysis of moving target indicator requirements and Advanced 
         Battle Management System capabilities (sec. 146)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 152) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force to develop an 
     analysis of current ground moving target indicator 
     requirements across the combatant commands and the capability

     Defense Chief Information Officer (CIO) to oversee the 
     implementation of these scheduled investments and amend these 
     plans, should they pose unacceptable risk to military 
     operations. Finally, the provision would require the CIO to 
     annually notify the congressional defense committees of any 
     failures to meet these planned schedules.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes clarifying amendment.
     Department of Defense participation in the Special Federal 
         Aviation Regulation Working Group (sec. 154)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 178) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, or a designee of the 
     Secretary of Defense, to designate aircraft fulfilling urgent 
     operational needs for the Department of Defense as State 
     Aircraft if there exist Special Federal Aviation Regulations 
     that would impact their ability to perform these missions.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Department of Defense to designate representatives to the 
     Special Federal Aviation Regulation Working Group. 
     Additionally, not later than June 30, 2021, the working group 
     would be required to report their findings and 
     recommendations to the Congress. Finally, the provision would 
     require that any use of foreign contract aviation support to 
     be certified by the Secretary of Defense as being required 
     for national security and that the Department has exhausted 
     all available authorities to use domestic companies.
     Integrated air and missile defense assessment (sec. 155)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 111) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army to conduct a 
     classified assessment of the capability and capacity of 
     current and planned integrated air and missile defense (IAMD) 
     capabilities to meet combatant commander requirements for 
     major operations against near-peer competitors and other 
     global operations in support of the National Defense 
     Strategy.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that directs the 
     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to conduct the IAMD 
     assessment, requires a certification of Department of Defense 
     Directive 5100.01 regarding integrated air and missile 
     defense, and adds subsequent briefings by the military 
     departments.
       The conferees believe it is critical that the Department 
     holistically assess current and future IAMD capability gaps 
     in light of emerging advanced missile threats from near-peer 
     competitors and rogue nations, and develop a comprehensive 
     plan to address these gaps. The Department should prioritize 
     in this assessment the need for a joint command and control 
     architecture to effectively integrate capabilities across the 
     joint force to achieve an integrated, layered, and robust 
     defense.
     Joint strategy for air base defense against missile threats

     a development and acquisition strategy to procure a 
     capability to protect air bases and prepositioned sites in 
     the contested environments highlighted in the National 
     Defense Strategy. The provision would require the CSAF to 
     submit the strategy to the congressional defense 
     committees not later than March 1, 2021. Additionally, the 
     provision would limit the obligation or expenditure of 
     fiscal year 2021 funds for operation and maintenance for 
     the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force and the 
     Office of the Secretary of the Army to 50 percent of those 
     funds until 15 days after submission of the strategy 
     required by the provision.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff of the 
     Army to develop a strategy and coordinate efforts for the 
     defense of air bases and prepositioned sites outside the 
     continental United States from current and emerging missile 
     threats and would remove the funding limitations.
     Joint All Domain Command and Control requirements (sec. 157)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 182) that 
     would require the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) 
     to produce Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) 
     requirements no later than April 1, 2021. The provision would 
     also require, immediately after the certification of 
     requirements, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force to provide 
     a certification to the congressional defense committees that 
     the current JADC2 efforts, including programmatic

[[Page H6594]]

     and architecture efforts, being led by the Air Force will 
     meet the requirements laid out by the JROC. Additionally, 
     each service chief would be required to certify to the 
     congressional defense committees that his or her respective 
     service efforts in multi domain command and control are 
     compatible with the Air Force-led architecture no later than 
     July 1, 2021. Finally, the Secretary of Defense would be 
     required to incorporate the expected costs for full 
     development and implementation across the Department of 
     Defense in the fiscal year 2022 budget request.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Expansion of economic order quantity contracting authority 
         for F-35 aircraft program (sec. 158)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 141) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to award F-35 
     contracts to procure material and equipment in economic order 
     quantities for fiscal year 2021 (Lot 15) through fiscal year 
     2023 (Lot 17).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would raise the 
     dollar ceiling of the authority to enable all previously 
     planned economic order quantity purchases for contracts to be 
     awarded during fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023 that was 
     granted by section 162 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92).
     Documentation relating to the F-35 aircraft program (sec. 
         159)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 131) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to provide the congressional 
     defense committees with certain information and 
     certifications by the Secretary regarding F-35 program cost, 
     schedule, risk, program execution, and significant deficiency 
     resolution plans in the areas of production, Block 4 hardware 
     and software development, modernization, upgrades and 
     training systems before entering full-rate production or a 
     Milestone C acquisition decision could be authorized by the 
     Secretary.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     not require the certifications and information be submitted 
     to the congressional defense committees prior to the Defense 
     Acquisition Board convening for the F-35 program to evaluate 
     its readiness for full-rate production or the Milestone C 
     acquisition award.
       The conferees note that although the provision does not 
     require submission of the certifications and information as a 
     prerequisite to the Secretary's authorization of either the 
     full-rate production decision or approval of Milestone C, the 
     conferees expect the Secretary to consider and evaluate 
     similar-type information during the Defense Acquisition Board 
     deliberations.
     F-35 aircraft munitions (sec. 160)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 179) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force and Secretary of 
     the Navy to qualify and certify, for the use by the U.S. 
     military, additional munitions for the F-35 aircraft that are 
     already qualified for North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     member F-35 partner aircraft.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     require any weapons certification to be accomplished in 
     coordination with the Director of the F-35 Joint Program 
     Office.
     Redesign strategy for the Autonomic Logistics Information 
         System for the F-35 fighter aircraft (sec. 161)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 177) that 
     would address the lack of strategy to clearly identify and 
     assess the goals, key risks or uncertainties, and costs of 
     redesigning the Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) 
     by requiring the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition 
     and Sustainment, in consultation with the F-35 Program 
     Executive Officer, no later than October 1, 2020, to: (1) 
     Develop a program-wide process for measuring, collecting, and 
     tracking information on how the ALIS is affecting the 
     performance of the F-35 fleet, to include, but not be limited 
     to, its effects on mission capability rates; and, (2) 
     Implement a strategy for the redesign of the ALIS.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment 
     and the F-35 Program Executive Officer to also develop system 
     performance metrics for the new Operational Data Integrated 
     Network (ODIN) and to include in the quarterly updates, 
     required by section 155 of the John S. McCain National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 
     115-232), information regarding how ALIS is affecting F-35 
     fleet performance and the Department's progress of 
     developing, procuring, and fielding the F-35 ODIN system.
     Briefings on software regression testing for F-35 aircraft 
         (sec. 162)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 132) that would 
     require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment, in consultation with the Director, Operational 
     Test and Evaluation, to provide the congressional defense 
     committees with a notification not later than 30 days after 
     F-35 air vehicle or mission systems production software is 
     released to units under the F-35 program's continuous 
     capability development and delivery process.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment, in consultation with the Director, Operational 
     Test and Evaluation, to instead include in the quarterly 
     briefings to the congressional defense committees, required 
     by section 155 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232), 
     information updates on software regression testing for the 
     mission systems production software for the F-35 aircraft.
       Additionally, the conferees are overall generally concerned 
     with the software development, testing, fielding practices, 
     processes, and shortened release periodicity that 
     stakeholders within the F-35 enterprise are currently 
     employing. The conferees also note that a large amount of 
     unanticipated software repair and replacement due to 
     nonstandard software development methodologies and practices 
     implemented during the original construction of the software 
     has accumulated over the years. Most recently, this issue 
     caused a significant event to occur in which the program was 
     forced to skip the fielding of the fifth major release of 
     software due to these lingering, unknown software technical 
     issues that were noted to be resident and undiscovered during 
     the development and testing of the second major release of 
     software that was developed and fielded many years ago. The 
     conferees believe that unless program officials both inside 
     and outside the U.S. Government involved in the F-35 program 
     singularly address and positively resolve the significant 
     issues within the software enterprise, the enhanced and 
     necessary capabilities that are planned to be fielded by 
     Block IV and Technical Refresh III activities may not be 
     actually realized.
     Prohibition on use of funds for the Armed Overwatch Program 
         (sec. 163)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 134) that would 
     prohibit the obligation or expenditure of any funds 
     authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made 
     available for fiscal year 2021 for procurement for the Armed 
     Overwatch Program of United States Special Operations Command 
     (SOCOM) until the Secretary of Defense and Commander of SOCOM 
     review, validate, and certify the Armed Overwatch Program. 
     This provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
     review the roles and responsibilities of the Air Force and 
     SOCOM with respect to close air support and armed 
     intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities, 
     and upon favorable determination, certify armed overwatch as 
     a special operations forces-peculiar requirement. The 
     provision would also require the Commander of SOCOM to 
     provide a comprehensive requirements plan and roadmap 
     analyzing application of the armed overwatch capability 
     against the totality of intelligence, surveillance, and 
     reconnaissance (ISR) requirements of the various special 
     operations forces (SOF) units and missions, and the 
     geographic combatant commands.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 176) that 
     would prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated 
     by this Act for the Department of Defense for armed overwatch 
     aircraft in fiscal year 2021 and would require a 
     comprehensive analysis by the Assistant Secretary of 
     Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict 
     and the Commander of SOCOM.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
     the use of funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or 
     otherwise made available for the Department of Defense to 
     acquire armed overwatch aircraft for SOCOM and prohibits the 
     Department of Defense from procuring armed overwatch aircraft 
     for SOCOM in fiscal year 2021 and prohibits the United States 
     Air Force from procuring armed overwatch aircraft in fiscal 
     years 2021 through 2023.
       The conferees recognize the importance of providing 
     deployed SOF elements with the resources, enhanced 
     situational awareness, and close air support capabilities 
     required to be successful in austere environments. The 
     conferees note that the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives previously directed 
     SOCOM in response to a fiscal year 2020 above threshold 
     reprogramming request to undertake a comprehensive analysis 
     of SOCOM's armed overwatch requirements and potential 
     materiel solutions for both manned and unmanned capabilities, 
     inclusive of any potential modifications to extant 
     capabilities. Further, the response also stressed the 
     necessity of a thorough analysis of the future threat 
     environment and impacts to concept survivability, potential 
     changes to future doctrine, force employment, and the 
     associated impacts to aircrew training and retention.
     Acceleration of development and fielding of counter unmanned 
         aircraft systems across the joint force (sec. 164)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 181) that 
     would require the executive agent of the Joint Counter Small 
     Unmanned Aerial Systems office to prioritize counter-unmanned 
     aerial systems that can be fielded in fiscal year 2021 and 
     develop a near-term plan to effect that fielding.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.

     would require, not later than December 1, 2021, the Assistant 
     Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity 
     Conflict and the Commander, United States Special Operations 
     Command, to jointly submit to the congressional defense 
     committees an acquisition roadmap to meet the manned and 
     unmanned airborne intelligence, surveillance, and 
     reconnaissance requirements of United States Special 
     Operations Forces.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     required elements of the acquisition roadmap.
     Prohibition on divestiture of manned intelligence, 
         surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft operated by 
         United States Special Operations Command (sec. 166)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 371) that 
     would prohibit the use of any funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by this Act to divest any manned intelligence, 
     surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft operated by 
     the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and 
     would prohibit the Department of Defense from divesting any 
     manned ISR aircraft operated by SOCOM in fiscal year 2021.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would exempt from 
     the prohibition the divestment of aircraft that is ongoing as 
     of the date of the enactment of this Act.
     Notification on efforts to replace inoperable ejection seat 
         aircraft locator beacons (sec. 167)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 133) that would 
     require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment to provide the congressional defense committees a 
     semiannual written notification about the efforts being 
     undertaken by the senior acquisition executives of the 
     Department of the Air Force and the Department of the Navy to 
     replace emergency locator seat beacons in ejection-seat 
     equipped aircraft that have been found to be inoperable in 
     water, and the funding budgeted for such efforts. The Under 
     Secretary would be required to report on the issue until 
     locator beacons are replaced in all affected ejection-seat 
     equipped aircraft or a period of 5 years has elapsed since 
     the date the initial report is received by the congressional 
     defense committees.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.


                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

     Liquified natural gas pilot program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 112) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Navy to carry out a pilot 
     program under which the Secretary would experiment and 
     innovate within the fleet using liquified natural gas (LNG) 
     technology to retrofit, modify, or build vessels capable of 
     dual fueling (diesel and liquified natural gas) or powered by 
     liquified natural gas alone.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes. The conferees direct the Secretary of 
     the Navy to brief the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives not later than March 
     31, 2021, on the feasibility and advisability of expanding 
     the use of LNG to support fleet or installation operations.
     Limitation on production of KC-46A aircraft
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 126) that would 
     prohibit purchasing more than the 12 KC-46A aircraft in 
     fiscal year 2021 until certain category-one deficiencies are 
     fixed. This provision would also require the Secretary of the 
     Air Force to provide a report by February 1, 2021, on the 
     schedule for the correction of each category-one deficiency 
     described, a plan to engage an independent test organization 
     to verify the effectiveness of any proposed solutions to such 
     category-one deficiencies; and an acquisition strategy for 
     the aircraft that identifies principal acquisition 
     milestones; and will ensure that there is sufficient 
     competition for the procurement of a nondevelopmental tanker 
     aircraft at the conclusion of the KC-46A production contract.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Secretary of the Air Force has 
     ordered 67 KC-46A aircraft to date. Unfortunately, the KC-46A 
     aircraft has several category one deficiencies including a 
     deficient Remote Vision System (RVS) that is not scheduled to 
     be corrected until September 2023. Additionally, the 
     conferees note that Director, Operation Test and Evaluation 
     and the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, 
     Technology and Logistics have agreed to extend the ongoing 
     Initial Operational Test and Evaluation until after the RVS 
     deficiency is resolved and tested. Finally, the conferees 
     understand that the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for 
     Acquisition, Technology and Logistics has deferred a Full-
     Rate Production decision until after Initial Operational Test 
     and Evaluation is complete. The conferees support sufficient 
     testing to ensure an operationally capable aircraft and the 
     decision to defer the full rate production. The conferees 
     believe it is imperative to expeditiously correct the 
     entirety of these category one deficiencies to ensure the KC-
     46A can perform their full mission both in peace and in war.
     Assessment and certification relating to OC-135 aircraft
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 127) that would 
     prohibit the Air Force from retiring, or preparing to retire, 
     any OC-135 aircraft in fiscal year 2021 until 90 days after 
     the date on which the Secretary of the Air Force provides a 
     report and a certification to the congressional defense 
     committee on the feasibility and cost effectiveness of using 
     the OC-135 aircraft to fulfill other aerial imagery 
     requirements for alternative missions.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of the Air Force, no 
     later than March 1, 2021, to provide the congressional 
     defense committees a report on the advisability, feasibility, 
     and cost effectiveness of using the OC-135 aircraft as well 
     as the newly fielded digital visual imaging system to fulfill 
     other aerial imagery requirements for alternative missions.
     Report on carrier wing composition
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 127) that 
     would direct the Secretary of the Navy, in consultation with 
     the Chief of Naval Operations and Commandant of the Marine 
     Corps, to submit a report to the congressional defense 
     committees, not later than May 1, 2021, on the optimal 
     compositions of the carrier air wing in 2030 and 2040, as 
     well as alternative force design concepts.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Briefing on payload hosting on modular supersonic aircraft
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 130A) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a briefing 
     to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives on the potential use of a modular 
     civil supersonic aircraft to host multiple mission payloads 
     not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of the Air Force to 
     provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives on the potential use 
     of a modular civil supersonic aircraft to host multiple 
     mission payloads not later than March 1, 2021.
     Minimum aircraft levels for major mission areas
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 142) that 
     would establish a minimum number of primary aircraft 
     inventory levels for each major mission area of the Air Force 
     to mitigate near-term operational risk. The provision would 
     prohibit divestment of aircraft below these minima unless the 
     Secretary of the Air Force certifies to the congressional 
     defense committees that a reduction below minima was 
     justified by the results of new capability and requirements 
     studies.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
        The conferees note that the Air Force has been challenged 
     over many years by programmatic concurrency to develop and 
     field more modern and capable replacement aircraft, in 
     support of the National Defense Strategy and against advanced 
     threats, within planned budgets and schedules. The conferees 
     are frustrated that the Air Force consistently implements a 
     strategy to accept increased operational risk by divesting 
     legacy aircraft capacity to address replacement program 
     unplanned cost growth. Conferees have historically expressed 
     concern over those same years that the divestment of legacy 
     aircraft traditionally does not yield sufficient resources to 
     fund modernization. The conferees expect the Air Force to 
     find alternative means in the future to effectively and 
     affordably budget for deficiencies in its modernization and 
     recapitalization programs that would avoid increasing 
     operational risk beyond currently assessed levels.
     Limitation on divestment of KC-10 and KC-135 aircraft
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 147) that 
     would prohibit the divestment of KC-10 and KC-135 aircraft in 
     excess of the following: in fiscal year 2021, 6 KC-10s; in 
     fiscal year 2022, 12 KC-10s; and, in fiscal year 2023, 12 KC-
     10s and 14 KC-135s.
       The House bill contained a similar provision.
       The Senate recedes as the provision is addressed elsewhere 
     in this Act.
     Prohibition on purchase of armed overwatch aircraft
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 175) that 
     states the Secretary of the Air Force may not purchase any 
     aircraft for the purpose of ``armed overwatch'' until such 
     time as the Chief of Staff of the Air Force certifies to the 
     congressional defense committees that general purpose forces 
     of the Air Force do not have the skill or capacity to provide 
     close air support and armed overwatch to the United States 
     forces deployed operationally.

[[Page H6596]]

       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
        The conferees note that elsewhere in this Act is a 
     provision that would prohibit the Department of Defense from 
     procuring armed overwatch aircraft for the Air Force in 
     fiscal years 2021 through 2023.
     Sense of Congress on the Additive Manufacturing and Machine 
         Learning Initiative of the Army
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 278) that 
     expressed the sense of Congress about the potential of and 
     support for the additive manufacturing and machine learning 
     initiative of the Army.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     the Secretary of the Army, to analyze and submit a report on 
     the CH-47F Block-II upgrade.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees recognize the critical importance of ensuring 
     robust, modern, medium-heavy lift helicopter capability 
     within the Army. The conferees note the Department's decision 
     to delay pursuing the CH-47F Chinook Block-II upgrade and are 
     concerned about the impact this decision will have on 
     warfighting capability, operational readiness, and the 
     medium-heavy lift helicopter industrial base.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Director of Cost 
     Assessment and Program Evaluation, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of the Army, to conduct an assessment of the Army's 
     plans for medium-heavy lift helicopters and provide a report 
     to the congressional defense committees no later than 90 days

     analysis, or high visibility items determined worthy of 
     reporting by the Director of the Test Resource Management 
     Center. The conferees further encourage the Department to 
     continue its strategic planning and resourcing of the Test 
     Resource Management Center priorities through a 30-year 
     strategic plan, understanding that greater detail will only 
     be possible 10 to 15 fiscal years out.

     amend section 231 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) directing a 
     strategy for assured access to trusted microelectronics by 
     extending the report deadline to December 30, 2020, and 
     adding new requirements to the strategy and implementation 
     plan.
       This section would also establish an Advisory Panel on 
     Microelectronics Leadership and Competitiveness to develop a 
     national strategy to accelerate the development and 
     deployment of state-of-the-art microelectronics and ensure 
     that the United States is a global leader in the field. This 
     section would direct the Secretary of Defense and the 
     Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs to 
     provide briefings to the congressional defense committees 
     within 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act on 
     the progress of the Secretary in developing the strategy and 
     implementation plan required, and the progress of the 
     Advisory Panel in developing its strategy, respectively.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     807).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to add elements to the 
     strategy.
       The conferees are aware that the Department of Defense is 
     in the process of developing a strategy to enable the 
     domestic production of measurably secure state-of-the-art, 
     state of the practice, and legacy integrated circuits in low 
     volumes to meet Department of Defense needs. However, the 
     conferees believe that the U.S. Government needs to develop a 
     comprehensive microelectronics strategy to foster a 
     sustainable domestic electronics manufacturing capability 
     that is globally and commercially competitive in both cost 
     and performance. The conferees direct the Department of 
     Defense to work across the interagency to propose a detailed 
     microelectronics strategy to serve the national security 
     needs of the Nation.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to consider 
     different models for public-private partnerships, including 
     establishing a semiconductor manufacturing corporation, to 
     restore American security and competitiveness in the 
     manufacture and assembly and packaging of state-of-the-art 
     microelectronics.
       For the purpose of developing and evaluating this specific 
     option, the conferees believe that the Department should 
     adopt a baseline set of assumptions and prerequisites. The 
     conferees note that the charter of the corporation should 
     reflect that one of its major goals would be to achieve the 
     rapid and sustained growth in the aggregate percentage of 
     domestic demand for state-of-the-art microelectronics that 
     could be satisfied by domestic production.
       To achieve this goal, the conferees note that it would be 
     beneficial for the corporation to have the authority to 
     approve investment tax credits or grants to private companies 
     and their state investment partners, or to multi-source 
     domestic investment funds, established with Federal, State, 
     and private sector funding, for the construction of 
     microelectronics manufacturing and assembly and packaging 
     capacity in the United States.
       The conferees expect the Secretary to consider, for the 
     purpose of replenishing and sustaining the corporation's 
     investment capital, that the corporation would have the 
     authority to structure an investment such that the 
     corporation receives back from the investment at least the 
     amount that the Federal government provided in grants or tax 
     incentives from profits earned on the investment, plus 
     inflation, once private sector investors have received 
     returns equal to some attractive but reasonable benchmark.
       The conferees also direct the Secretary to: (1) Consider 
     methods for ensuring equitable cost and risk sharing by 
     limiting the share of government funding in investments; (2) 
     Provide concepts for allowing the corporation to retain board 
     seats on any public-private investment fund or project with 
     strong oversight and major investment approval authorities; 
     and (3) Ensure methods for the protection of the public 
     interest through, for example, government appointment of 
     board directors and the managing director of the corporation, 
     and board approval of significant investments.
     Independent evaluation of personal protective and diagnostic 
         testing equipment (sec. 277)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 263) that would 
     direct the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation to 
     independently evaluate the processes used to test the 
     effectiveness of covered personal protective and diagnostic 
     testing equipment and the results of such tests.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Director of Operational Test and Evaluation to independently 
     evaluate the operational effectiveness and suitability of 
     covered personal protective and diagnostic testing equipment 
     and to report the

[[Page H6601]]

     results of such tests to the congressional defense committees 
     within 90 days of completion of each evaluation.
     Assessment on United States national security emerging 
         biotechnology efforts and capabilities and comparison 
         with adversaries (sec. 278)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 231) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, through the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, to 
     conduct an assessment of U.S. efforts to develop 
     biotechnologies and biotechnology capabilities as compared to 
     our adversaries' efforts and capabilities. The provision 
     would also require the Secretary of Defense, through the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, to 
     assess the ability of the intelligence community to meet the 
     intelligence analysis needs of the Department of Defense with 
     respect to emerging biotechnologies. The Secretary of Defense 
     would be required to submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a report on the assessments not later than 
     February 1, 2021.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Annual reports regarding the SBIR program of the Department 
         of Defense (sec. 279)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5876) that 
     would require an annual report to the Congress on the 
     Department of Defense's awards under the Small Business 
     Innovation Research Program and associated transition 
     activities among the phases.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     number of reports required to three and would direct that the 
     reporting include how the projects awarded under each phase 
     meet the overall goals of the Small Business Innovation 
     Research program.
       The conferees recognize the unique value that the Small 
     Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) provides to the 
     military services as an effective way of engaging and growing 
     innovation within the Department. However, the conferees also 
     are aware of the challenges of transitioning successful 
     projects out of the SBIR program into alternative funding 
     mechanisms and programs of record. Therefore, the conferees 
     request that the Secretaries of each military service submit 
     a report to the congressional defense committees that 
     identifies a minimum of five of their most transformative 
     SBIR Projects that have completed SBIR Phase II, including 
     projects that would be a continuation of existing Phase III 
     Agreements that meet any of the following criteria: (1) 
     Potential to substantially advance the national security 
     capabilities of the United States; and/or (2) Provide 
     technologies or processes, or applications of existing 
     technologies, that will enable alternatives to, or be used 
     by, existing programs; and (3) Substantially reduce the time 
     to delivery of new warfare capabilities; and/or (4) Provide 
     significant future cost savings.
     Reports on F-35 physiological episodes and mitigation efforts 
         (sec. 280)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 264) that would 
     require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment to determine the underlying causes of 
     physiological episodes affecting crew members of F-35 
     aircraft.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees remain concerned that the continued increase 
     in physiological episodes with aircraft equipped with On-
     Board Oxygen Generating Systems from across the different 
     services pose a serious threat to safety and combat 
     effectiveness. The conferees expect the Department to quickly 
     take the necessary steps to ascertain the root cause(s) and 
     resolve the problem(s).
     Review and report on Next Generation Air Dominance 
         capabilities (sec. 281)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 231) that would 
     limit 15 percent of funds from being obligated until the date 
     on which the Director of Cost Assessment and Program 
     Evaluation submits a report on Air Force and Navy next 
     generation air dominance capabilities.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     remove the funding restriction and require the Director of 
     Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation to also perform a non-
     advocate review on the Digital Century Series acquisition 
     business case analysis developed by the Assistant Secretary 
     of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
     Plan for operational test and utility evaluation of systems 
         for Low-Cost Attributable Aircraft Technology program 
         (sec. 282)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 154) that 
     would require the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for 
     Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to provide to the 
     congressional defense committees an executable plan for the 
     operational test and utility evaluation of the Low-Cost 
     Attributable Aircraft Technology (LCAAT) systems no later 
     than October 1, 2020, and provide a briefing to the 
     congressional defense committees on the plan by the same 
     date.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     require the plan and subsequent briefing to congressional 
     defense committees by March 1, 2021.
       The conferees support the Secretary's intent to accelerate 
     the LCAAT research and development program, including 
     continuation of the Skyborg initiative to prototype and field 
     an unmanned system for collaborative pairing with manned 
     platforms, potentially including the F-35 and other 
     compatible tactical aircraft. The conferees note that the 
     combined application of commercial technology, autonomy, and 
     artificial intelligence could be an innovative solution to 
     meet the operational demands of the combatant commanders in 
     support of the National Defense Strategy.

         United States to recruit and retain researchers in 
         national security-related and defense-related fields 
         (sec. 283)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 232) that 
     would require the National Academies of Sciences, 
     Engineering, and Medicine to conduct a study comparing 
     methods for recruiting and retaining technology researchers, 
     including financial incentives and academic opportunities, 
     currently used by the U.S. and Chinese governments. The study 
     would focus on incentives employed by China to bring 
     researchers in American academic and government laboratories 
     into Chinese talent programs and how these incentives diverge 
     from those offered by the United States.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
     elements of the study and provide technical changes.


                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

     Pilot program on talent optimization
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 214) that would 
     amend section 2358b of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
     Engineering to conduct a pilot program to develop a talent 
     optimization marketplace for military personnel in the 
     Reserve and Guard Components.

       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that each of the military departments is 
     currently implementing various talent management reforms 
     designed to allow military units to identify and access 
     servicemembers with pertinent and necessary skillsets that 
     might otherwise go unnoticed using traditional military 
     assignment processes. These innovations are particularly 
     important for reserve servicemembers, who possess not only 
     military experience, but also civilian and private sector 
     skillsets that are difficult for military units to develop 
     within the regular force.
     Modification of pilot program on enhanced civics education
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 216) that would 
     amend section 234 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) to include in the 
     pilot program the improvement of critical thinking and media 
     literacy among students. This section would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to implement the pilot program not later 
     than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. 
     This section would also require the Secretary to submit a 
     report to the congressional defense committees not later than

     under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, 
     and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.), 
     an enforceable Federal standard under CERCLA, or a health 
     advisory under the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300g-
     1(b)(1)(F)) when performing removal or remediation actions of 
     perfluorooctane sulfonate or perfluorooctanoic acid 
     contamination from Department of Defense or National Guard 
     activities found in drinking water or in groundwater that is 
     not currently used for drinking water.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

         for perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 335) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to publicly disclose the 
     results of any testing for perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl 
     substances conducted on military installations or formerly 
     used defense sites.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees urge the Secretary to maximize transparency 
     and public disclosure of the Department's environmental 
     testing results for per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) 
     substances, particularly perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and 
     perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), on military installations and 
     formerly used defense sites. Additionally, the conferees urge 
     the Department to ensure impacted military families are fully 
     informed regarding testing for lead or copper at Department 
     of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) facilities.
       The conferees are disappointed to note that the Department 
     has not yet fully executed the requirements of section 331 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 
     (Public Law 116-92), which required the Secretary to maintain 
     a publicly

     available website that provides a clearinghouse for 
     information about the exposure of members of the Armed 
     Forces, their families, and their communities to PFAS 
     substances resulting from contamination at military 
     installations. The conferees urge the Department to leverage 
     this existing requirement so that impacted communities and 
     individuals have a single authoritative data source regarding 
     the Department's testing for PFOS and PFOA contamination.
       Further, the conferees urge the Department, in scenarios 
     where it is a drinking water purveyor, to publicize the 
     results of drinking water testing at its facilities to 
     include DoDEA schools and child development centers.

     the Secretary of State, to submit a report on efforts to 
     prevent, detect, and respond to biological threats, including 
     through bilateral and multilateral cooperation with foreign 
     partners.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     bilateral and multilateral cooperation with foreign partners. 
     The report shall include:
       (1) A description of actions taken by the Department of 
     Defense (DOD) to improve proliferation prevention regarding 
     detection of and response to biological threats of natural, 
     accidental, or deliberate origin, including the following: 
     (a) a description of Department of Defense policy guidance to 
     address the threat of naturally and accidentally occurring 
     diseases in addition to potential deliberate biological 
     events; (b) a description of the organizational structure for

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 338) that 
     expressed the sense of Congress that the Department of 
     Defense should develop an integrated master plan for the 
     purpose of pursuing net zero initiatives Department-wide.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that individual military departments 
     have had success in managing existing energy, water, and 
     solid waste programs with the goal of providing greater 
     energy and water security and increasing operating 
     flexibility in a fiscally responsible way. The conferees 
     further note that the breadth of existing authorities, most 
     notably energy service performance contracts and other 
     public-private partnerships, have provided opportunities to 
     improve the efficiency and resiliency of energy and other 
     utilities. In some cases, installations have been able to 
     completely offset the total amount of energy and water 
     consumed through projects funded by these mechanisms. The 
     conferees encourage the military departments to continue 
     seeking opportunities to maximize energy and water security 
     using these mechanisms.

       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     End strengths for military technicians (dual status) (sec. 
         413)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 413) that would 
     authorize the following minimum end strengths for military 
     technicians (dual status) as of September 30, 2021: the Army 
     National Guard of the United States, 22,294; the Army 
     Reserve, 6,492; the Air National Guard of the United States, 
     10,994; and the Air Force Reserve, 7,947.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     413).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
     under any circumstances the coercion of a military technician 
     (dual status) by a State into accepting an offer of 
     realignment or conversion to any other military status, 
     including as a member of the Active, Guard, and Reserve 
     program of a reserve component. The provision would further 
     specify that if a technician declines to participate in such 
     a realignment or conversion, no further action may be taken 
     against the individual or the individual's position.
     Maximum number of reserve personnel authorized to be on 
         active duty for operational support (sec. 414)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 414) that would 
     authorize the maximum number of reserve component personnel 
     who may be on Active Duty or full-time National Guard duty 
     under section 115(b) of title 10, United States Code, during 
     fiscal year 2021 to provide operational support.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     414).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Separate authorization by Congress of minimum end strengths 
         for non-temporary military technicians (dual status) and 
         end strengths for temporary military technicians (dual 
         status) (sec. 415)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 415) that 
     would amend section 115 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the separate authorization of minimum end strengths 
     for non-temporary dual status military technicians and 
     maximum end strengths for temporary dual status military 
     technicians for each fiscal year by the Congress. The 
     provision would also require the Department of Defense to 
     include, as part of the President's annual budget request, a 
     request for end strength authorizations for non-temporary and 
     temporary dual status military technicians.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would require a 
     minimum end strength authorization for non-temporary 
     technicians and a separate end strength authorization for 
     temporary dual status military technicians.

              Subtitle C--Authorization of Appropriations

     Military personnel (sec. 421)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 421) that would 
     authorize appropriations for military personnel at the levels 
     identified in the funding table in section 4401 of division D 
     of this Act.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     421).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.

                   Title V--Military Personnel Policy

                  Subtitle A--Officer Personnel Policy

     Authorized strengths of general and flag officers on active 
         duty (sec. 501)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 501) that would 
     amend section 526a(b) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     reinstate the exclusions of certain Reserve officers from the 
     limitations of section 526a(b).
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     511).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     on the allocation of general and flag officer billets and 
     positions between the military departments and joint 
     assignments. The required report will also include the 
     Secretary's final plan to meet authorized strengths of 
     general and flag officers on Active Duty after December 31, 
     2022, as required by section 526a of title 10, United States 
     Code.
       The provision would also amend section 525 of title 10, 
     United States Code, to authorize the Army to appoint up to 8 
     Active Duty officers to the grade of general. To maintain a 
     consistent overall number of four-star officer 
     authorizations, the provision would amend section 526 of 
     title 10, United States Code, to reduce the authorized number 
     of officers serving in joint assignments in the grade of 
     general or admiral to a maximum of 19.
     Temporary expansion of availability of enhanced constructive 
         service credit in a particular career field upon original 
         appointment as a commissioned officer (sec. 502)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 504) that would 
     amend sections 533 and 12207 of title 10, United States Code, 
     to provide temporary authority for the Secretaries of the 
     military departments to award constructive service credit 
     upon original appointment in particular officer career fields 
     for advanced education.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     502).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Diversity in selection boards (sec. 503)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 502) that would 
     amend sections 612(a)(1), 573(b), and 14102(b) of title 10, 
     United States Code, to require that the members of a 
     selection board represent the diversity of the Armed Forces 
     to the extent practicable.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Requirement for promotion selection board recommendation of 
         higher placement on promotion list of officers of 
         particular merit (sec. 504)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 503) that 
     would amend section 616 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     clarify that the secretary of the military department 
     concerned shall prescribe guidelines and procedures for 
     placing officers higher on a promotion selection list based 
     on an officer's merit.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Special selection review boards for review of promotion of 
         officers subject to adverse information identified after 
         recommendation for promotion and related matters (sec. 
         505)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 504) that 
     would delay until January 1, 2021, the applicability of the 
     amendments made by section 502 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92), 
     germane to the manner in which adverse information about a 
     regular officer would be furnished to a promotion selection 
     board convened under section 611(a) of title 10, United 
     States Code, to consider such an officer for promotion to a 
     grade below brigadier general in the Army, Air Force, and 
     Marine Corps, rear admiral (lower half) in the Navy, or the 
     equivalent grade in the Space Force.
       The provision would also modify section 14107 of title 10, 
     United States Code, to extend prescriptions for furnishing 
     adverse information to promotion selection boards convened 
     pursuant to section 14101(a) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to consider a reserve officer for promotion to a grade above 
     lieutenant colonel in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, 
     commander in the Navy, or the equivalent grade in the Space 
     Force.
       Finally, the provision would codify in two new sections of 
     law the authority of the Secretary of the military 
     department concerned to convene a special selection review 
     board--pursuant to section 628a of title 10, United States 
     Code, for regular officers and pursuant to section 14502a 
     of title 10, United States Code, for reserve officers--
     upon determining that an officer recommended for promotion 
     to a grade at or below major general in the Army, Air 
     Force, and Marine Corps, rear admiral in the Navy, or the 
     equivalent grade in the Space Force is the subject of 
     adverse information that was not furnished to a promotion 
     selection board that recommended the officer for 
     promotion, as required by sections 615 or 14107 of title 
     10, United States Code.
       Any special selection review board convened--whether for a 
     regular or reserve officer--would, to the greatest extent 
     practicable, apply the same standards used by the promotion 
     selection board that originally recommended the officer for 
     promotion and would consider the record of the officer as 
     presented to the original promotion board, together with the 
     adverse information regarding the officer. The special 
     selection review board would be conducted so as not to 
     indicate or disclose the officer or officers for whom the 
     board was convened and the members of the board would apply a 
     competitive process to determine whether or not to sustain 
     the recommendation of the officer or officers at issue for 
     promotion. An officer

[[Page H6611]]

     whose promotion is recommended for sustainment by a special 
     selection review board and approved by the President would be 
     appointed to the next higher grade as soon as practicable 
     and, upon appointment, would have the same date of rank as 
     the officer would have had pursuant to the recommendation of 
     the original promotion board. If a special selection review 
     board did not sustain a recommendation for promotion of an 
     officer, that officer would be considered to have failed 
     selection for promotion.
       The amendments to section 14107 and the codification of 
     sections 628a and 14502a of title 10, United States Code, 
     would take effect on the date of the enactment of this Act.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretaries of each of the military departments provide a 
     briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives, not later than 180 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, detailing the 
     specific rules and processes applicable to implementation of 
     this provision in that department, together with the 
     department's implementation timeline.
     Number of opportunities for consideration for promotion under 
         alternative promotion authority (sec. 506)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 505) that 
     would amend section 649c of title 10, United States Code, to 
     make a technical correction related to the definition of the 
     term ``promotion zone'' in the alternative promotion 
     authority provided by section 507 of the John S. McCain 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
     (Public Law 115232).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Mandatory retirement for age (sec. 507)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 506) that 
     would amend section 1251 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     include the Space Force and expand the authority of the 
     Secretaries of the military departments to permit an officer 
     to defer retirement until the officer reaches age 68. The 
     provision would also clarify benefit eligibility for officers 
     who reach mandatory retirement age.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require all 
     regular commissioned officers who have been added to the 
     retired list prior to enactment of this Act to receive 
     retired pay.
     Clarifying and improving restatement of rules on the retired 
         grade of commissioned officers (sec. 508)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 507) that 
     would clarify the rules governing the retired grades of 
     commissioned officers. The codification of rules pertaining 
     to regular officers would be restated in section 1370 of 
     title 10, United States Code, and the rules applicable to 
     non-regular officers--including guidance to address certain 
     unique circumstances particular to a non-regular career 
     path--would be set forth in new section 1370a of title 10, 
     United States Code.
       Both sections 1370 and 1370a would address the principles 
     underpinning determinations of satisfactory service, the 
     effect of misconduct in a lower grade on such determinations, 
     service-in-grade requirements and waivers and reductions 
     thereto, and requirements for notice to the Congress.
       As a general rule, the restatement would reserve to the 
     Secretary of the military department concerned the authority 
     to make grade determinations with regard to officers--regular 
     and non-regular--to be retired at or below major general, 
     rear admiral, or the equivalent grade, but without the power 
     of delegation. The restatement would reserve to the Secretary 
     of Defense most actions related to officers proposed for 
     retirement in a grade above major general, rear admiral, or 
     the equivalent.
       The restatement would promulgate enhanced guidelines for 
     the assignment of a conditional retired grade to officers 
     under investigation for misconduct or pending adverse 
     personnel action and the determination of an officer's final 
     retired grade and adjustment of retired pay on the resolution 
     of such matters.
       Finally, the restatement would clarify the conditions 
     pursuant to which an administratively final retirement grade 
     could be reopened, and the manner by which a proposed change 
     to a reopened grade would be effectuated and the officer's 
     retired pay recalculated. Although the committee has 
     undertaken to clarify section 509 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92), 
     it remains strongly committed to the principle that a 
     determination to increase an officer's retired grade to O-9 
     or O-10 after reopening an administratively final 
     determination may be effectuated only by the President, by 
     and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Although the 
     committee ultimately declined to take this step, it 
     considered returning to the long-held practice of requiring 
     that all O-9 and O-10 retirements, of both Active and Reserve 
     officers, be made by the President, by and with the advice 
     and consent of the Senate. The current practice, enacted by 
     section 502 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     1996 (Public Law 104-106)--pursuant to which the Secretary of 
     Defense certifies to the Congress the highest grade in which 
     such officers have served satisfactorily and should be 
     retired--is a creature of statute, derived from the Congress' 
     authority under Article I, Section 8, of the U.S. 
     Constitution to raise, support, and regulate the Armed 
     Forces. Prior to 1996, an officer could be retired in the 
     grade of O-9 or O-10 only by the President, by and with the 
     advice and consent of the Senate. The committee expects that 
     any reopening of an administratively final determination of 
     retired grade that results in the proposal to increase an 
     officer's retired grade to O-9 or O-10 be submitted by the 
     President to the Senate under provisions of section 509 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, 
     as amended by the instant provision.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Repeal of authority for original appointment of regular Navy 
         officers designated for engineering duty, aeronautical, 
         engineering duty, and special duty (sec. 509)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 508) that 
     would repeal section 8137 of title 10, United States Code, 
     which authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to appoint regular 
     officers who are designated for engineering, aeronautical 
     engineering, and special duty.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Permanent programs on direct commissions to cyber positions 
         (sec. 509A)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 505) that would 
     amend section 509 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to make permanent a 
     direct commission program for cyber positions.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Review of Seaman to Admiral-21 Program (sec. 509B)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 523) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Navy to review personnel records 
     of participants in the Seaman to Admiral-21 program during 
     fiscal years 2010 through 2014 to determine whether 
     participants acknowledged that service during the 
     baccalaureate degree program would not be included in 
     calculations related to military retirement eligibility. The 
     provision would also require the Secretary of the Navy to 
     award retirement credit to any participant in the Seaman to 
     Admiral-21 program when no evidence can be found of the 
     participant acknowledging that time spent in the 
     baccalaureate degree program would not be included in 
     calculations related to military retirement eligibility. The 
     provision would also require the Secretary of the Navy to 
     provide a report on the required review to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment requiring the 
     Secretary of the Navy to review the policies and procedures 
     for the Seaman to Admiral-21 program in effect during fiscal 
     years 2010 through 2014. The results of the required review 
     shall be reported to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives by not later than 180 
     days after the date of enactment of this Act.

                Subtitle B--Reserve Component Management

         in high-demand, low-density assignments during war or 
         national emergency (sec. 511)

     amend section 14703 title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary of a military department to reinstate 
     a previously retired medical officer in the Active or Reserve 
     Component with the consent of the officer.

     more than 1,000 retirees to Active Duty during a war or 
     national emergency.

     introduction to service opportunities in military, national, 
     and public service. The provision would also require the 
     Secretary of Defense to develop and implement a plan to 
     establish and support not fewer than 6,000 JROTC units by 
     September 30, 2031.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     requirement that Secretary of Defense develop and implement a 
     plan to establish and support at least 6,000 JROTC units by 
     September 30, 2031.

     education in Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps units at 
     the Secretary's discretion.

     component who cannot complete minimum annual training 
     requirements due to the cancellation of training as a result 
     of a national emergency.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     621).
        The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     sections 12732 and 12733 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense, or the Secretary of 
     Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard, to provide 
     points for Reserve retirement purposes if a Reserve 
     servicemember is prevented from participating in required 
     drills or training during the emergency period beginning on 
     March 1, 2020, which coincides with the COVID-19 pandemic. 
     The provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
     provide a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives on the use of this 
     authority.

     authority to postpone these surveys and assessments only when 
     conditions are such that the survey cannot be conducted or, 
     if conducted, the results of the survey would not be 
     meaningful. The committee also expects that any survey

       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that modifies the

       The conferees recognize the near- and long-term physical, 
     mental, and emotional effects of nearly two decades of 
     continuous operations in high-stress environments experienced 
     by our special operations forces (SOF). One of the top 
     priorities of U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is to 
     take care of its people, and, in responding to the demand 
     signal from SOF components, SOCOM created the Preservation of 
     the Force and Families (POTFF) program. The conferees also 
     recognize the stress caused by high operational tempo and 
     unexpected deployment and training schedules on the families 
     of SOF personnel and strongly supports the POTFF programs 
     that provide families with the tools to deal with these 
     unique challenges.
       Furthermore, the conferees encourage SOCOM and the military 
     services to ensure that SOF personnel and their families that 
     receive POTFF support are aware of and provided assistance 
     when separating or transitioning to a different assignment 
     outside of the special operations community. The conferees 
     believe SOCOM and the military services have a responsibility 
     to ensure continuity of care and awareness of Department of 
     Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs resources for 
     eligible participants of these programs.

     for military child development programs for children from

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

     with two or more children attending a Child Development 
     Center; (3) Each Secretary of a military department to carry 
     out a childcare fee assistance program modeled after the U.S. 
     Army fee assistance program; (4) Additional actions to obtain 
     qualified employees for Child Development Centers; and (5) 
     Reports on extreme imbalances between demand and availability 
     for childcare at certain installations.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 1793 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize a

     installations with extreme imbalances between demand for and 
     availability of childcare.
       The conferees note that existing authorities allow for the 
     liberal issuance of hardship waivers regarding childcare fees 
     and encourage the Department of Defense to continue offering 
     flexible childcare options for servicemembers and their 
     families. Additionally, the conferees strongly encourage the 
     Department to utilize enhanced marketing and recruitment 
     techniques to hire qualified childcare employees, and provide 
     competitive benefits in order to retain them.

     support programs of the Office of Special Needs, and of each 
     military department, in light of the recommendations of the 
     Comptroller General in the report titled ``DOD Should Improve 
     Its Oversight of the Exceptional Family Member Program'' 
     (GAO-18-348).
        The conferees encourage the DOD to create and maintain 
     relationships with the local Boards of Education near 
     military installations in order to facilitate processes to 
     ensure military family education dispute data can be 
     adequately reported.
     Studies and reports on the performance of the Department of 
         Defense Education Activity (sec. 589H)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 567) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study on the 
     performance of the Department of Defense Education Activity 
     (DODEA) and to provide a report on the findings of the study 
     to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives within 180 days of the date of the 
     enactment of this Act.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study and submit a 
     report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives, within 1 year of the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, on the performance of DODEA that 
     would include a review of the curriculum relating to health, 
     resiliency, and nutrition taught in its schools. The 
     provision would also require the Comptroller General of the 
     United States to conduct two separate studies on the 
     performance of DODEA: (1) Analyzing the educational outcomes 
     of its students compared to such outcomes of students in 
     public elementary and secondary schools; and (2) Assessing 
     DODEA's School Liaison Officer program in achieving program 
     goals with emphasis on special education and family outreach. 
     The Comptroller General would then submit reports on such 
     studies to the same committees within 1 year of the date of 
     the enactment of this Act.

       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 591) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, within 180 days of 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, to provide a briefing 
     to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives on a plan for the performance of

     of the Armed Forces by one or more members of the Armed Force 
     of the deceased or by such other servicemembers or 
     organizations as described in the provision. The provision 
     would amend section 1491(b)(2) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to repeal the requirement that one member of the Armed 
     Force of the deceased be a member of the funeral detail.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     military service chief of the Armed Force of the deceased to 
     verify the eligibility of the deceased for such funeral 
     honors.
     Study on financial impacts of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 on 
         members of the Armed Forces and best practices to prevent 
         future financial hardships (sec. 597)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 593) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study and 
     provide a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives on the financial 
     hardships experienced by members of the Armed Forces because 
     of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Limitation on implementation of Army Combat Fitness Test 
         (sec. 598)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 592) that 
     would prohibit the Secretary of the Army from implementing 
     the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) until the Secretary 
     receives the results of a study from an independent entity on 
     the extent that the test: (1) Would adversely impact Army 
     members stationed or deployed to climates or areas with 
     conditions that would prevent outdoor physical training on a 
     frequent or sustained basis; and (2) Would affect recruitment 
     and retention in critical support military occupational 
     specialties of the Army, such as medical personnel.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees are concerned about the Department of the 
     Army's implementation plans for the ACFT prior to completion 
     of an objective assessment of its efficacy and the potential 
     adverse impact this test will have on different demographics 
     in the Army. Limited data from the Army's administration of 
     this test so far suggest a consistent test failure rate of 60 
     percent for women, and in fiscal year 2019, 83 percent of 
     women failed the leg tuck portion of the test.
       The conferees question the validity of certain portions of 
     the ACFT, such as the leg tuck, to predict a soldier's 
     success to perform the actual, regular, and recurring duties 
     of their military occupations. Moreover, in a RAND study that 
     evaluated gender-neutral physical standards for ground combat 
     operations, the authors explained equitability in the context 
     of physical standards stating that ``test validity should not 
     differ among relevant subgroups (such as gender and race), 
     and test scores should be unbiased (i.e., two people who 
     receive the same test score should have the same likelihood 
     of success on the job, regardless of subgroup).'' Therefore, 
     the conferees believe the ACFT fails to meet most of the 
     requirements for a valid, unbiased gender-neutral fitness 
     test, and it likely disincentivizes female soldiers and 
     soldiers in certain military occupations, such as physicians 
     and chaplains, from serving full military careers.
       For these reasons, the Army shall not implement the ACFT 
     until completion of an evaluation by an independent entity of 
     the test's validity and its impact on differing demographics 
     in the Army. The conferees agree, however, that the Army may 
     continue to train for and administer the ACFT to gather data 
     to be shared with an independent entity conducting the study 
     required by this provision. The results of such tests shall 
     not be recorded in any personnel record or system of records 
     that identify the soldiers who took the tests.
     Semiannual reports on implementation of recommendations of 
         the Comprehensive Review of Special Operations Forces 
         Culture and Ethics (sec. 599)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 544) that 
     would require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special 
     Operations and Low Intensity Conflict to provide quarterly 
     reports on the implementation of the Comprehensive Review of 
     Special Operations Forces Culture and Ethics.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make minor 
     modifications to the required reports.
     Report on impact of children of certain Filipino World War II 
         veterans on national security, foreign policy, and 
         economic and humanitarian interests of the United States 
         (sec. 599A)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 593) that 
     would require the Secretary of Homeland Security, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary 
     of State, to submit to the congressional defense committees 
     not later than December 31, 2020, a report on the impact of 
     certain Filipino World War II veterans on the national 
     security, foreign policy, and economic and humanitarian 
     interests of the United States.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.


                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

     Repeal of codified specification of authorized strengths of 
         certain commissioned officers on active duty
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 501) that 
     amend section 523 of title 10, United States Code, to require 
     that the number of officers serving on Active Duty in the 
     grades of major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel in the Army, 
     Air Force, and Marine Corps or lieutenant commander, 
     commander, and captain in the Navy in a given fiscal year be

       The House recedes.
     Certificate of release or discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 
         214) matters
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 518) that 
     would require the Department of Defense Form DD 214 to be 
     redesignated as the Certificate of Military Service. The 
     provision would also amend section 569 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 
     116-92) to require the Certificate of Military Service to be 
     a standard total force record of military service for all 
     members of the Armed Forces that summarizes the record of 
     service for each member and to require that the Certificate 
     of Military Service be provided to members of the reserve 
     components of the Armed Forces at appropriate times 
     throughout a servicemember's career. Lastly, the provision 
     would repeal section 570 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense is 
     currently working to establish and implement a standard 
     record of service for members of the reserve components, as 
     required by section 570 of last year's defense bill, which 
     will summarize the record of service of each member in 
     standardized form, sufficient to ensure that reserve 
     component members may prove their eligibility for veteran 
     benefits to which they are entitled. The Department plans to 
     finalize this form next year. The conferees urge the 
     Department to comply with section 570 as expeditiously as 
     possible. The conferees will continue to track the 
     Department's progress on this important initiative, and 
     remain open to future legislation if needed to ensure members 
     of the reserve components have accurate and up-to-date 
     records of their military service.
     Report regarding National Guard Youth Challenge Program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 520E) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on the 
     resources and authorities the Secretary determines necessary 
     to identify the effects on graduates of the National Guard 
     Youth Challenge Program over the last 5 years.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that section 509 of title 32, United 
     States Code, requires the Department of Defense to submit 
     annually a report on the National Guard Youth Challenge 
     Program to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives. The required report measures 
     long-term outcomes of program participants.

     Reenlistment waivers for persons separated from the Armed 
         Forces who commit one misdemeanor cannabis offense
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 522) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to prescribe regulations 
     permitting the Secretary of a military department to grant a 
     reenlistment waiver to an individual who has separated from 
     the military and has admitted to, or been convicted by a 
     court of, a single violation of laws related to marijuana use 
     or possession if the Secretary concerned determines that the 
     reenlistment of the individual is vital to the national 
     interest.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note the secretaries of the military 
     departments have the authority to allow for enlistment and 
     reenlistment with waivers for cannabis use based on the needs 
     of the military department. The conferees encourage the 
     secretaries of the military departments to use their 
     authority as appropriate to ensure the military departments 
     are not excluding talent from the pool of eligible 
     individuals who volunteer to serve.
     Development of guidelines for use of unofficial sources of 
         information to determine eligibility of members and 
         former members of the Armed Forces for decorations and 
         benefits when the service records are incomplete because 
         of damage to the official record
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 525) that would 
     amend section 528 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) to require the 
     Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of 
     Veterans Affairs, to develop guidelines for the use of 
     unofficial sources of information to determine the 
     eligibility of a servicemember for benefits and decorations 
     when the service records are incomplete because of damage to 
     the records.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on bad paper
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 526) that would 
     require the Inspector General of the Department of Defense to 
     submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives a report regarding ``bad paper'' 
     issued by the Department of Defense during the 20 years 
     preceding the date of the report.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Punitive article on violent extremism
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 531) that would 
     amend chapter 47 of title 10, United States Code, by 
     establishing an article on violent extremism in the Uniform 
     Code of Military Justice.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees are increasingly concerned with the number of 
     recent violent extremist activities which involve members and 
     former members of the military. The conferees believe that a 
     punitive article under the Uniform Code of Military Justice 
     to prohibit violent extremist criminal acts may be 
     appropriate to deter and prosecute this behavior within the 
     Armed Services.
     Electronic notarization for members of the Armed Forces
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 533) that would 
     amend section 1044a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize electronic notarization and require that such 
     notarial acts be considered authentic without regard to 
     whether the act was performed through electronic means.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
     coordination with the Secretaries of the military 
     departments, to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
     detailing as to each military service: (1) How notaries are 
     currently designated; (2) Whether and how the notary pool 
     could be expanded to address hardships; (3) A cost assessment 
     associated with a potential transition to electronic 
     notarization in terms of any required cyber secure validation 
     platforms, manning, and other related costs or savings; and 
     (4) The effects of authorizing electronic notarization by 
     military notaries when many states do not recognize such a 
     practice.
     Clarifications regarding scope of employment and reemployment 
         rights of members of the uniformed services
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 534) that would 
     amend the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment 
     Rights Act of 1994 (38 U.S.C. 43) to clarify the scope of 
     employment and unemployment rights for servicemembers under 
     that Act.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Termination of telephone, multichannel video programming, and 
         internet access service contracts by servicemembers who 
         enter into contracts after receiving military orders for 
         permanent change of station but then receive stop 
         movement orders due to an emergency situation
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 535) that would 
     amend section 3956 of title 50, United States Code, to 
     authorize a servicemember to terminate certain service 
     contracts if the servicemember's permanent change of station 
     orders are disrupted by an emergency stop movement order 
     issued by the Secretary of Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees understand the Committees on Veterans' 
     Affairs of the Senate and the House of Representatives are 
     currently considering this provision under separate 
     legislation. The conferees recognize the value of this 
     authority in light of the disruption servicemembers are 
     currently experiencing due to the coronavirus pandemic, and 
     support the adoption of this provision by the relevant 
     committees of jurisdiction as soon as possible.
     Absentee ballot tracking program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 536) that would 
     amend section 20302 of title 52, United States Code, to 
     require the chief State election official, in coordination 
     with local election jurisdictions, to establish and operate 
     an absentee ballot tracking program.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Guardian ad litem program for minor dependents of members of 
         the Armed Forces
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 536) that 
     would amend section 540L of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) by 
     adding an element to the report on the establishment of a 
     guardian ad litem program for certain military dependents who 
     are victims or witnesses of offenses under the Uniform Code 
     of Military Justice involving abuse or exploitation.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense is 
     completing its report on the guardian ad litem program and 
     asks that the Secretary of Defense assess and brief the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives regarding the feasibility and advisability of 
     establishing a guardian ad litem program for military 
     dependents living outside the United States.
     Tracking mechanism and reporting requirements for 
         supremacist, extremist, and criminal gang activity in the 
         Armed Forces
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 537) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to develop and implement a 
     process to track investigations, criminal and administrative 
     actions, and final determinations with respect to conduct of 
     members of the Armed Forces that is prohibited under 
     Department of Defense Instruction 1325.06, entitled 
     ``Handling Dissident and Protest Activities Among Members of 
     the Armed Forces.'' The provision would also require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
     later than December 1 of each year, beginning after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, a report on the process 
     implemented by the Secretary.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     To resolve controversies under Servicemembers Civil Relief 
         Act
       The House bill included a provision (sec. 540A) that would 
     amend the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50 U.S.C. 50) to 
     modify certain aspects of how controversies under that Act 
     are resolved.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Limitation on waiver of rights and protections under 
         Servicemembers Civil Relief Act
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 540B) that would 
     modify existing law to prohibit a servicemember's waiver of 
     rights under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (Public Law 
     108-189) (SCRA), unless the servicemember executes the waiver 
     only after a specific dispute arises and the waiver 
     specifically references the dispute at issue. Current law 
     permits a servicemember to waive SCRA protections only if the 
     waiver is in writing (in at least 12 point font), and only if 
     the written waiver is separate from the contract or lease to 
     which it applies.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to conduct a review and holistic assessment of the 
     effects of the timing, content, and form of a servicemember's 
     waiver of rights and protections under the SCRA, as required 
     by Section 107(a) of the Act (50 U.S.C. 3918(a)), and, not 
     later than May 31, 2021, submit a report to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     on the effect of these requirements in ensuring that any 
     waiver executed by a servicemember in a covered case is 
     knowing and voluntary. The results and data expected from the 
     report will inform the need for change, if any, in the 
     requirements attending a servicemember's waiver of rights in 
     covered cases under the SCRA.

       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United

     servicemember's prior waiver of the right to do so. The 
     results and data expected from the report will inform the 
     need for change, if any, in the right of a servicemember to

     testing;
       (6) A definition of POCT; and
       (7) Any other matters deemed relevant by the Secretary.

         Special Victims' Counsel
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 541) that would 
     amend subsection (c) of section 1044e of title 10, United 
     States Code, to define the relationship between the Special 
     Victims' Counsel (SVC) and a victim in the provision of legal 
     advice as the relationship between an attorney and a client. 
     It would also provide that, during any criminal legal 
     proceeding in which a SVC is asked to testify or give 
     evidence, the SVC shall be given the same consideration as 
     counsel for the Government and counsel for the accused. The 
     provision would also require, not later than 180 days after 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, that Rule 502 of the 
     Military Rules of Evidence be modified to provide that the 
     privilege between a SVC and a client shall be the same as 
     lawyer-client privilege.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the relationship between a Special 
     Victims' Counsel and an alleged victim in the provision of 
     legal advice and assistance is that of an attorney and a 
     client and is afforded the same privilege as every other 
     attorney-client relationship.

     support law enforcement components of the National Guard and 
     other reserve components of the Armed Forces, or with both 
     such capabilities;
       (6) Assess the feasibility, advisability, and suitability 
     of standardizing and merging the training for military and 
     civilian personnel across the Department of Defense, 
     including training of military or civilian personnel of the

     title 10, United States Code, to protect buildings, grounds, 
     and property under the jurisdiction, custody, or control of 
     the Department and the persons on such property across the 
     Department, including an assessment of the costs of such

     covered surveys a question regarding whether a member of the 
     Armed Forces would be more willing to report a sexual assault

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 550) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot program 
     for the attendees of the military service academies that 
     would establish an independent authority to review certain 
     special victim offenses and determine whether such offenses 
     shall be referred to trial by an appropriate court-martial 
     convening authority, and would require trial by a randomized 
     jury.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Counseling in the Transition Assistance Program regarding 
         sexual assault, sexual or gender harassment, and intimate 
         partner violence
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 551) that would 
     amend section 1142(b) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require counseling in the Transition Assistance Program (TAP)

     for either survivors or victims of sexual assault, sexual or 
     gender harassment, or intimate partner violence.

         decorations not previously submitted in a timely fashion
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 551) that 
     would modify the process to award decorations following a

     Defense to grant the award without requiring a legislative 
     time waiver from Congress for each award.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note the importance of Congressional 
     oversight of the process of authorizing time limitation 
     waivers for certain valorous awards. The conferees emphasize 
     to the Secretary of Defense that any waiver of time 
     limitation for potential Medals of Honor be addressed by 
     Congress in the National Defense Authorization Act. The 
     conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to develop a 
     systematic process of transmitting information regarding the 
     upgrade of valorous awards to Congress proactively to ensure 
     these important award recommendations are granted the 
     required waivers to time limitations in a timely manner and 
     are funded in an appropriate manner.

     unplanned throughout the fiscal year; and (3) Data on the 
     amount of congressionally-directed reviews and other 
     reviews undertaken in the last 5 years including 
     information on how many awards upgrades require 
     legislation.
     Report on regulations and procedures to implement programs on 
         award of medals or commendations to handlers of military 
         working dogs
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5551) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report not 
     later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives on the regulations and procedures 
     prescribed by the Secretaries of the military departments in 
     order to implement the programs on the award of medals or 
     other commendations to handlers of military working dogs 
     required by section 582 of the John S. McCain National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 
     115-232).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     briefing, not later than 90 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and the House of Representatives on the 
     regulations and procedures prescribed in order to carry out 
     the programs to award medals or other commendations to 
     handlers of military working dogs required by section 582 of 
     the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2019.
     Medical or administrative discharge as a pathway for 
         counseling in the Transition Assistance Program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 552) that would 
     amend section 1142(c)(1) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     include potential or confirmed medical discharge, or 
     potential or confirmed involuntary separation of the 
     servicemember, as a pathway for counseling in the Transition 
     Assistance Program.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     pathways in the Transition Assistance Program.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 555) that would 
     amend section 2168 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language 
     Center to confer a Bachelor of Arts degree in foreign 
     language upon any graduate who fulfills the degree 
     requirements.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees are concerned about the growth in the number 
     of Department of Defense entities requesting ``degree 
     granting authority.'' While post-secondary academic degrees 
     are an important credential, the proliferation of these 
     degrees degrades their value to students specifically and to 
     the Department in general.
       Therefore, the conferees request the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Personnel and Readiness provide a briefing by 
     April 1, 2021, explaining the justification for the Defense 
     Language Institute Foreign Language Center to award a 
     Bachelor of Arts degree. Such briefing should include data on 
     the current associate degree program and any other 
     information the Under Secretary considers relevant.
     Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 556) that would

     Center to confer a Bachelor of Arts degree in foreign 
     language upon any graduate who fulfills the degree 
     requirements.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     authorize members of the reserve component to be eligible for 
     the Skillbridge program.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 560C) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     Veterans Affairs

[[Page H6624]]

     to submit a report to the congressional defense committees 
     and the Committees on Veterans Affairs of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives, not later than December 31, 2022, 
     on the results of a study of the feasibility of having 
     Veterans Affairs' representatives present during Transition 
     Assistance Program (TAP) counseling sessions to establish 
     eBenefits accounts for TAP participants.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that representatives from the Department 
     of Veterans Affairs already participate in counseling 
     sessions required under section 1142 of title 10, United 
     States Code.
     Transition outreach
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 560E) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Secretary of Labor, to 
     encourage contact between servicemembers participating in the 
     Transition Assistance Program and local communities to 
     promote employment opportunities for such members.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that section 570F of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 
     116-92) required the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary 
     of Veterans Affairs to enter into memoranda of understanding 
     or other agreements to transmit information from a 
     servicemember's Department of Defense Form DD-2648 to one or 
     more state veterans agencies to connect veterans with 
     services in local communities such as resume assistance, 
     employment interview training, and employment recruitment 
     training.
     Continued participation of separated members of the Armed 
         Forces in Skillbridge programs
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 560F) that would 
     amend section 1143(e) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize an eligible servicemember enrolled in Skillbridge 
     programs, and who may be discharged or released from Active 
     Duty, to continue participation in such programs until 
     completion.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees believe that no obstacles exist for a 
     discharged or separated servicemember to complete Skillbridge 
     program training begun while on Active Duty. The conferees 
     encourage continued employer participation in the Skillbridge 
     program to help servicemembers gain full employment after 
     they transition from Active Duty to veteran status.
     Report on officer training in irregular warfare
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 560J) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees a report on the training in 
     irregular warfare, if any, provided to officers of the Armed 
     Forces as part of the regular course of instruction for such 
     officers.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, not later 
     than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, to 
     provide to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives a briefing on the training in 
     irregular warfare, if any, provided to officers of the Armed 
     Forces as part of the regular course of instruction for such 
     officers.
       The briefing shall include the following: (1) The level of 
     instruction in irregular warfare typically provided to 
     officers; (2) The number of hours of instruction at each 
     level; and (3) A description of the subject areas covered by 
     the instruction. The report shall not include information on 
     specialized or branch-specific training in irregular warfare 
     provided to certain officers as part of a specialized course 
     of instruction.
       The conferees note that the term ``irregular warfare'' has 
     the meaning given that term in the Joint Operating Concept of 
     the Department of Defense titled ``Irregular Warfare: 
     Countering Irregular Threats'', version 2.0, dated May 17, 
     2010.

         senior level and intermediate level officer professional 
         military education courses
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 560L) that 
     would amend section 559 of the John S. McCain National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 
     115-232) to authorize, in certain circumstances, the 
     attendance of enlisted personnel at senior and intermediate

        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 560M) that

        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees understand the grief and pain caused by the

     miscarriage, expectant military parents suffer a great 
     emotional trauma and should be encouraged to take the time 
     needed to recover before returning to full-time duty. The 
     conferees believe the Department of Defense already has the 
     authority to ensure servicemembers who are dealing with the 
     death of child are able to take time off to care for 
     themselves and their families.
        Commanders are entrusted with the responsibility of taking 
     care of their troops, which would include ensuring they have 
     the ability to take leave to deal with the pain caused by the 
     death of a child. If it becomes clear that commanders are not 
     performing as expected, the conferees remain open to 
     considering future legislation in this area.

     departments to ensure the childcare needs of servicemembers 
     and Department of Defense civilians can be met by local

       The conferees remain very concerned about the lack of an 
     accurate and reliable assessment of the current extent of 
     food insecurity among members of the Armed Forces and their 
     dependents. While there continues to be anecdotal evidence of 
     military personnel utilizing food banks close to military 
     installations, there is little quantitative evidence 
     suggesting hunger is a matter of concern in the military. 
     Section 656 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) directed the Secretary 
     of Defense to submit a report to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on 
     food insecurity among members of the Armed Forces and their 
     dependents. The conferees received an interim response 
     stating the required report will incorporate findings from 
     the 13th Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation and be 
     provided to Congress by March 31, 2021. The conferees 
     reiterate the importance of this report. If the results of 
     the forthcoming report indicate food insecurity exists at any 
     rank, the conferees expect the Secretary of Defense to take 
     steps to address the problem and propose to the Congress any 
     legislation required to solve this unacceptable situation. 
     Ensuring military personnel are able to feed their families 
     is a matter of the utmost importance to the Congress and the 
     American people.

         program (sec. 706)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 707) that

     congressional defense committees, within 180 days of the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, containing a study on the 
     potential benefits and feasibility of requiring each military 
     installation outside the United States to have, at a minimum, 
     one functioning medical evacuation helicopter and one 
     functioning ambulance that are each stocked with appropriate 
     medical emergency equipment.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit a report on the study to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives within 1 year of the date of the enactment of 
     this Act. The amendment would also modify the elements of 
     such study.
     Comptroller General study on prenatal and postpartum mental 
         health conditions among members of the Armed Forces and 
         their dependents (sec. 754)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 750) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     Congress on mental health treatment relating to pregnancy.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     749) that would require the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to conduct a study on prenatal and postpartum mental 
     health conditions among members of the Armed Forces and their 
     dependents. The provision would also require the Comptroller 
     General to submit a report on the study's findings to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives within 1 year of the date of the enactment of 
     this Act.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     elements of the study conducted by the Comptroller General to 
     include the report elements in section 750 of the House bill.
     Report on lapses in TRICARE coverage for members of the 
         National Guard and reserve components (sec. 755)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 750J) that would 
     require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives, within 1 year of the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, analyzing the factors that 
     may contribute to lapses in TRICARE coverage for members of 
     the National Guard and the reserve component.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     each Secretary of a military department, in consultation with 
     the Director of the Defense Health Agency, to conduct the 
     analysis and to submit the report to the same committees. In 
     addition, the amendment would include additional elements for 
     analysis in the report.
     Study and report on increasing telehealth services across 
         Armed Forces (sec. 756)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 750K) that would

     reviews, identifies, and evaluates the technology approaches, 
     policies, and concepts of operations of telehealth and 
     telemedicine programs of the military departments and to 
     provide a report to the congressional defense committees 
     within 1 year of the date of the enactment of this Act.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Study on force mix options and service models to enhance 
         readiness of medical force of the Armed Forces (sec. 757)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 745) that

     Act, to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services 
     of the Senate and the House of Representatives assessing the 
     billing practices of the Department of Defense for care 
     received under the TRICARE Program or at military treatment 
     facilities.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     findings and the sense of Congress from the provision.

Subtitle E--Mental Health Services From Department of Veterans Affairs 
                   for Members of Reserve Components

     Short title (sec. 761)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 751) that would 
     cite this subtitle as the ``Care and Readiness Enhancement 
     for Reservists Act of 2020'' or the ``CARE for Reservists Act 
     of 2020.''
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     761).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Expansion of eligibility for readjustment counseling and 
         related outpatient services from Department of Veterans 
         Affairs to include members of reserve components of the 
         Armed Forces (sec. 762)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 752) that would 
     amend subsection (a)(1) of section 1712A of title 38, United 
     States Code, to expand eligibility for readjustment 
     counseling and related outpatient services from the 
     Department of Veterans Affairs to certain members of the 
     reserve components of the Armed Forces.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     762).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Provision of mental health services from Department of 
         Veterans Affairs to members of reserve components of the 
         Armed Forces (sec. 763)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 753) that would 
     amend subchapter VIII of chapter 17 of title 38, United 
     States Code, to authorize the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, 
     in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, to provide

     services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     765).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.


                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

     Expansion of mental health assessments for members of the 
         Armed Forces
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 701) that would 
     amend section 1074m of title 10, United States Code, to 
     expand mental health assessments to certain members of the 
     Armed Forces who were not deployed in support of a 
     contingency operation.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense provides 
     a mental health assessment during the annual periodic health 
     assessment for each servicemember, and more requirements to 
     provide additional mental health assessments to certain 
     servicemembers may further burden the Department's limited 
     mental health resources. Section 718 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) 
     required the Department to develop and implement a 
     comprehensive policy for the provision of servicemembers' 
     mental health care and to provide a report to the Committees 
     on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives. The conferees determine to evaluate this 
     report before enacting further legislation to expand 
     requirements for mental health assessments.
     Mandatory referral for mental health evaluation
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 702) that would 
     amend section 1090a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the Department of Defense to establish a phrase that 
     would enable a servicemember to trigger a referral by a 
     commanding officer or supervisor for a mental health 
     evaluation.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Removal of Christian Science providers as authorized 
         providers under the TRICARE program
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 702) that 
     would amend subsection (a) of section 1079 of title 10, 
     United States Code, by striking paragraph (4) to remove 
     Christian Science providers as authorized providers under the 
     TRICARE program.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Assessments and testing relating to exposure to 
         perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 703) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that any ``covered 
     evaluation'' includes an evaluation of whether the 
     servicemember has been based or stationed at a military 
     installation identified by the Department of Defense as a 
     location with a known or suspected release of per- or 
     polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or exposure. If the 
     determination is positive, a blood test must be provided to 
     determine and document potential exposure to PFAS and results 
     included in the servicemember's health record.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note the requirements for the Department of 
     Defense in the past three National Defense Authorization Acts 
     to address exposure to PFAS. The conferees continue to 
     monitor the actions of the PFAS Task Force, which released 
     its most recent report on March 13, 2020. The report 
     highlighted the Department's continuous surveillance of 
     drinking water at military installations, its research to 
     develop a PFAS-free firefighting foam, its education of 
     healthcare providers and patients, and its study of the 
     health effects of PFAS exposure while providing more than 
     $30.0 million to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease 
     Registry to conduct exposure assessments in communities 
     around military installations. Additionally, the Department 
     is developing a framework for annually testing firefighters' 
     blood to document and determine potential PFAS exposure. The 
     conferees believe that it is inappropriate at this time to 
     mandate blood testing until the health services agencies of 
     the United States determine what PFAS blood level poses a 
     health risk and create a meaningful comparison to blood 
     samples collected from patients.
     Mental health resources for members of the Armed Forces and 
         their dependents during the COVID-19 pandemic
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 704) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan, 
     within 180 days of the date of the enactment of this Act, to 
     protect and promote the mental health and well-being of 
     servicemembers and their dependents during the COVID-19 
     pandemic. The provision would require the Secretary to 
     conduct outreach to the military community to identify 
     resources and healthcare services, including mental 
     healthcare services, available under the TRICARE program to 
     support servicemembers and their dependents.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Extension of organization requirements for Defense Health 
         Agency
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 714) that would 
     amend section 1073c(e) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     extend the implementation date of such section to September 
     30, 2025.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     721) that would amend section 1073c(e) of title 10, United 
     States Code, and section 737 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) to 
     delay the transfer of the Army Medical Research and 
     Development Command (and such other medical research 
     organizations of the Armed Forces, as appropriate) and the 
     public health commands or programs of the military services 
     to the Defense Health Agency from September 30, 2022, to 
     September 30, 2024, and to correct the name of the Army 
     Medical Research and Development Command.
       The conference agreement does not include either provision.
       To prevent disruption and to preserve maximum effectiveness 
     of the vital medical research and development and public 
     health missions of the Armed Forces, the conferees considered 
     deferring the scheduled September 30, 2022, transfer to the 
     Defense Health Agency (DHA) of management responsibility for 
     these activities. It is the conferees' judgment, however, 
     that no deferral is necessary or appropriate, with the 
     understanding that there shall be no reduction or disruption 
     in the infrastructure, personnel, and resources of the 
     Department of Defense (DOD) currently devoted to these 
     essential activities. It is the conferees' intent and 
     direction that the transfer of such responsibilities be 
     implemented in this manner and that the DHA will achieve 
     unity of effort and more effectively advance the joint 
     missions of military medical research and development and 
     public health.
       Furthermore, the primary purpose of Congress' legislative 
     reforms to the military health system (MHS), first passed in 
     the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 
     2017 (Public Law 114-328) and followed by amendments in 
     subsequent NDAAs,

[[Page H6633]]

     is to improve combat casualty care and medical care for 
     wounded, ill, and injured servicemembers--to ensure that 
     military medical professionals deliver the world's best 
     healthcare on the battlefield, at field hospitals, at sea, in 
     the air, in clinics, and at hospitals and medical centers 
     overseas and in the United States. With this legislation, 
     Congress also seeks to improve access to high quality health 
     care, to improve health outcomes, to create greater health 
     value, and to improve the experience of care for all patients 
     in the MHS.
       After many months without substantive action on reform, the 
     services and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) 
     agreed upon a plan whereby the services' military treatment 
     facilities (MTFs) would transfer in phases to the DHA as it 
     stood up integrated health care markets throughout the 
     country. DOD submitted its final plan to Congress and began 
     implementation on October 1, 2018, by establishing a 
     transitional intermediate organization in the DHA that 
     assumed control of a small number of the services' MTFs to 
     test the plan's concept of operations. The services required 
     this intermediate process step, and the DHA complied. By most 
     accounts, the concept worked, and feedback from MTFs and 
     service senior installation commanders was positive. OSD and 
     the services then agreed to proceed with full plan 
     implementation using a phased approach so that the DHA could 
     build its full range of capabilities as it accepted more MTFs 
     from the services.
       Recently, however, the Secretaries of the military 
     departments and their service chiefs sent a memorandum to the 
     Secretary of Defense requesting that the Secretary halt the 
     transition of MTFs to the DHA. The memo stated that the 
     current plan to transfer MTFs to the DHA was not ``viable'' 
     because it ``introduces barriers, creates unnecessary 
     complexity and increases inefficiencies and cost.'' The 
     conferees completely disagree--the decades-old health system 
     with the services managing their own MTFs, and the DHA 
     managing DOD's purchased healthcare was replete with barriers 
     to high quality care, unnecessary complexity, lack of 
     standardization, inefficiencies, duplicative services, and 
     higher costs. The Deputy Secretary of Defense responded to 
     this memorandum by reminding the Secretaries and service 
     chiefs that Congress directed the reforms in law, and that 
     Congress had been responsive to requests by DOD for 
     adjustments to the law. Subsequently, the Secretary of 
     Defense signed a memorandum on November 9, 2020, reiterating 
     that the DHA ``is responsible for exercising authority, 
     direction, and control over each MTF and all other duties and 
     responsibilities identified in law.'' Therefore, the 
     conferees restate that DOD must continue on the path required 
     by law to eliminate the inefficient, stove-piped MHS 
     structure that inevitably leads to turf wars among the 
     services and the DHA, while simultaneously paralyzing 
     decision-making and stifling healthcare innovation. The 
     conferees expect that the DHA shall oversee, manage, and 
     direct the MHS's delivery of direct and purchased healthcare, 
     and the services shall focus on their man, train, and equip 
     title 10, United States Code, responsibilities.
       Moreover, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) and subsequent reforms have 
     focused on increasing the effectiveness of the provision of 
     healthcare services across the MHS and the TRICARE program. 
     The intent was to provide high quality, safe healthcare to 
     servicemembers and other beneficiaries by increasing 
     innovation, eliminating variations in healthcare delivery, 
     and cutting inefficiencies. As part of the Department's 
     effort to eliminate inefficiencies, DOD implemented a number 
     of cost savings initiatives after some analysis and 
     assessment of risk to the MHS. These efforts have yielded $8 
     billion in cost avoidance in fiscal year 2020 alone and tens 
     of billions of dollars in savings over the last 5 years. Yet, 
     DOD's Office of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation 
     continues to demand efficiency wedges and cost savings from 
     the Defense Health Program based on its internal goals and 
     seemingly poor understanding of the negative effect that 
     imposed cuts may have on the readiness of servicemembers, the 
     health of all beneficiaries, and the MHS as a whole.
       Therefore, the conferees stress that efforts to achieve 
     cost savings in the MHS should be guided by strategic intent, 
     objective data, and thoughtful analysis that contemplates the 
     entire military healthcare ecosystem and prioritizes the 
     needs of provider readiness in support of the National 
     Defense Strategy and the healthcare needs of servicemembers 
     and other beneficiaries. These considerations should include 
     thorough analysis of the value created by investment in 
     research, public health, training, education, infrastructure, 
     and civilian partnerships, and the commensurate positive 
     effect on providing world-class healthcare in a myriad of 
     settings to include the battlefield, disaster relief or 
     humanitarian assistance operations, a pandemic, occupational 
     health screenings, physical examinations, and routine well-
     baby checkups.
     Maintenance of certain medical services at military medical 
         treatment facilities at service academies
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 719) that would 
     amend section 1073d of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the Secretary of Defense to ensure the provision of 
     certain medical services at military medical treatment 
     facilities of the service academies unless such services are 
     available at a civilian health care facility within 5 miles 
     of the academies.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Authority of Secretary of Defense to waive requirements 
         during national emergencies for purposes of the provision 
         of health care
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 723) that 
     would amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to waive or modify the 
     requirements of such chapter, or any regulation prescribed 
     under such chapter, for a period of 60 days for services 
     furnished by a health care provider (or class of providers) 
     in an emergency area (or portion of such area) during an 
     emergency period (or portion of such period). The provision 
     would authorize the Secretary to renew any such waiver or 
     modification for subsequent 60-day periods during an 
     applicable emergency declaration. Additionally, the provision 
     would require the Secretary to submit to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, at least 2 days before exercising a waiver 
     or modification, a certification and advance written notice 
     that describes the impact and duration of the waiver or 
     modification. Finally, the provision would require the 
     Secretary to submit a report to the same committees on the 
     use of this authority within 1 year of the end of an 
     emergency period during which the Secretary exercised this 
     authority.
       The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 5723) 
     that would cause section 723 and the amendments made by that 
     section to have no force or effect.
       The House bill contained no similar provisions.
       The Senate recedes.
     Provision of information regarding COVID-19 in multiple 
         languages
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 725) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to translate COVID-19 
     pandemic information in multiple languages and to make such 
     information available to the public.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Study of substance use disorders among members of the Armed 
         Forces and veterans during the COVID-19 public health 
         emergency
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 726) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     Veterans Affairs to conduct a study on substance use 
     disorders among servicemembers and veterans before and during 
     the COVID-19 public health emergency.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees acknowledge that substance abuse, the harmful 
     use of alcohol or illicit drugs, is incompatible with 
     military readiness and the expected high standards of 
     military performance and discipline. The Department of 
     Defense (DOD) has longstanding policies and practices to 
     prevent and address problematic substance abuse among 
     military personnel. DOD identifies at-risk substance abuse 
     early through regular and systematic medical screening, and 
     when discovered, it provides evidence-based substance use 
     disorder therapies, while adhering to clinical practice 
     guidelines published by a DOD-Veterans Affairs task force and 
     accredited professional organizations specializing in those 
     disorders. The conferees expect DOD to collaborate fully with 
     the Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure that 
     servicemembers and veterans with substance use disorders 
     continue to receive appropriate treatment so that they can 
     maintain successful, healthy lives in the future.
     Clarification of research under Joint Trauma Education and 
         Training Directorate and inclusion of military working 
         dogs
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 733) that would 
     amend subsection (b) of section 708 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) 
     to clarify research under the Joint Trauma Education and 
     Training Directorate by inclusion of military working dogs to 
     inform and advise research on the leading causes of morbidity 
     and mortality of servicemembers and working dogs in combat.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees are aware that the Joint Trauma System of the 
     Defense Health Agency has established a framework to support 
     research and development of a trauma registry for military 
     working dogs. The conferees direct the Director of the 
     Defense Health Agency to brief the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
     within 90 days of the date of the enactment of this Act, on 
     the Department of Defense's plans to develop, implement, and 
     resource such registry.
     Information sharing by Secretary of Defense regarding 
         prevention of infant and maternal mortality
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 735) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to enter into memoranda of 
     understanding with state and local health authorities to 
     share practices and lessons learned by the military health 
     system for the prevention of infant and maternal mortality.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

[[Page H6634]]

       The House recedes.
       The conferees encourage the Department of Defense to share 
     the best practices of the military health system with state 
     and local health authorities for the prevention of infant and 
     maternal mortality.
     Grant program for increased cooperation on post-traumatic 
         stress disorder research between the United States and 
         Israel
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 736) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Secretary of State, to 
     award grants to eligible entities to conduct collaborative 
     post-traumatic stress disorder research between the United 
     States and Israel.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees recognize the strategic importance of the 
     United States-Israel bilateral relationship to the national 
     security of both countries. The conferees believe this 
     relationship can be further strengthened through scientific 
     collaboration among the Department of Defense, American 
     academic institutions, U.S. non-profit research 
     organizations, and Israeli institutions with experience in 
     the research, diagnosis, and treatment for post-traumatic 
     stress disorder (PTSD).
       The National Center for PTSD of the Department of Veterans 
     Affairs has published data to show that 11 to 20 percent of 
     veterans who served in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring 
     Freedom suffer from PTSD in a given year. This relatively 
     high percentage of PTSD occurrence in veterans demonstrates 
     the need to continue vital research to promote the 
     development of enhanced diagnostics and therapeutics for this 
     disorder. Additionally, the conferees recognize important 
     Israeli contributions in the advancement of certain 
     modalities for the diagnosis and treatment of military 
     trauma, infectious diseases, and traumatic brain injury 
     (TBI). Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to brief the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives, within 180 days of 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, on military health 
     research collaboration between the United States and Israel 
     on military trauma care, infectious disease surveillance and 
     treatment, PTSD diagnostics and treatment, and TBI 
     diagnostics and treatment.
     Pilot program on cryopreservation and storage
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 737) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program 
     to provide not greater than 1,000 Active-Duty servicemembers 
     with the opportunity to cryopreserve and store their gametes 
     (sperm or unfertilized eggs) at no cost to the member prior 
     to deployment to a combat zone. The duration of covered 
     storage would extend until 1 year after the retirement, 
     separation, or release of the member from the Armed Forces.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     briefing, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and the House of Representatives on the 
     feasibility of implementing a gamete cryopreservation pilot 
     program. The briefing shall include: (1) An assessment of the 
     nature and extent of genitourinary system injuries among 
     servicemembers as a result of deployments to combat zones and 
     the impact on such servicemembers' ability to conceive 
     naturally; (2) The potential cost of implementing the 
     program; (3) A description of how the military departments 
     would implement and fund the program; (4) A thorough 
     explanation of any legal issues the conferees should consider 
     regarding implementation of the program; and (5) The 
     potential accretion of benefits to servicemembers.
     Pilot program on parents serving as certified nursing 
         assistants for children under TRICARE Program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 738) that would 
     require the Director of the Defense Health Agency to conduct 
     an 18-month pilot program whereby an eligible parent would 
     serve as a certified nursing assistant under the TRICARE 
     Program to provide personal care services to a covered child.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to evaluate 
     the feasibility and cost of establishing such pilot program 
     and to brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives on the results of that 
     evaluation within 180 days of the date of the enactment of 
     this Act.
     Report on costs and benefits of allowing retired members of 
         the Armed Forces to contribute to health savings accounts
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 741) that would 
     require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs 
     to submit a report to the congressional defense committees 
     not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act on the costs and benefits of allowing retired 
     members of the Armed Forces to make contributions to a health 
     savings account.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note military retirees and their families 
     receive generous healthcare benefits that result in 
     relatively low out-of-pocket costs. Health Savings Accounts 
     (HSA) may be attractive to a small number of military 
     retirees who have a high deductible health plan provided 
     through a civilian employer. But an HSA option would also 
     incur significant costs, which would include lost tax revenue 
     and administration fees.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Under Secretary of 
     Personnel and Readiness to provide a briefing to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives by March 1, 2021 on the potential costs and 
     benefits of providing servicemembers with the option to 
     contribute to an HSA.
     Report on Integrated Disability Evaluation System
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 744) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, within 1 year of the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, to submit a report to Congress 
     on the findings of a study of the implementation and 
     application of the Integrated Disability Evaluation System 
     (IDES).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to brief the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, within 180 days of the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, on the implementation and application of the 
     IDES. The briefing shall include the following:
       (1) All changes to policies and procedures applicable to 
     the implementation of IDES from the previous disability 
     evaluation system;
       (2) The extent to which IDES is the primary means for 
     servicemembers to process through the disability evaluation 
     system;
       (3) The extent to which the Defense Health Agency and the 
     military departments coordinate on servicemembers' treatment, 
     medical evaluation board (MEB) referrals, convening authority 
     appointment and MEB staffing, sharing medical documentation 
     with a MEB, evaluation of servicemembers' initial or 
     subsequent limited duty status, and MEB referral to a 
     physical evaluation board;
       (4) The process for servicemembers to request an impartial 
     medical review or to rebut MEB findings and the criteria a 
     MEB convening authority applies when considering such 
     requests; and
       (5) The average time to process IDES cases by phase and 
     stage for active and reserve component servicemembers.
     Antimicrobial stewardship staffing at medical treatment 
         facilities of the Department of Defense
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 746) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, within 90 days of the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, to establish antimicrobial 
     staffing and diagnostics recommendations to improve 
     antimicrobial stewardship programs. The provision would 
     require the Secretary to consult with the Centers for Disease 
     Control and Prevention (CDC) and relevant medical societies 
     on development of the recommendations and to submit an 
     implementation plan for carrying out the recommendations to 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives within 180 days of the date of the 
     enactment of this Act.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that section 727 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) 
     required the Department of Defense (DOD) to establish an 
     antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) at all military 
     medical treatment facilities (MTFs). Since then, DOD has 
     published policy documents that provide structure for 
     implementation and standardization of ASPs. MTFs participate 
     in the CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) 
     Antimicrobial Use and Resistance module and regularly submit 
     data to it. In 2016, DOD directed the multi-drug resistant 
     organism (MDRO) Repository and Surveillance Network (MRSN) to 
     expand its collection of microorganism isolates to include 
     all MTFs. DOD now has over 82,000 isolates in the MRSN, and 
     it provides a 48-hour processing time for sequencing isolates 
     from a suspected outbreak investigation. In June 2020, MRSN 
     began real-time MDRO surveillance in 12 high-volume MTFs to 
     provide highly accurate and timely detection of outbreaks 
     caused by MDROs across DOD's hospital networks and to assist 
     in identifying trends in anti-microbial resistance at the MTF 
     level. Moreover, DOD policy requires employees on MTF staffs 
     dedicated to antibiotic stewardship monitoring. From these 
     efforts, it is clear to the conferees that DOD has 
     effectively implemented a rigorous ASP throughout its direct 
     care health system.
     Report on chiropractic care for dependents and retirees under 
         the TRICARE program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 747) that would 
     require the Director of the Defense Health Agency to submit a 
     report to the congressional defense committees, within 1 year 
     of the date of the enactment of this Act, on the feasibility, 
     efficacy, and cost to expand chiropractic care services to 
     certain TRICARE beneficiaries.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense has 
     discussed plans to expand coverage of such services to 
     TRICARE beneficiaries. The conferees direct the Director of

[[Page H6635]]

     the Defense Health Agency to brief the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
     later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act, on the expected date of coverage of such services, if 
     determined feasible by the Department.
     Funding for pancreatic cancer research
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 749) that would 
     increase funding for pancreatic cancer research conducted by 
     the Department of Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Plan for evaluation of flexible spending account options for 
         members of the uniformed services and their families
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 750) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit, by March 1, 
     2021, to the congressional defense committees a plan to 
     evaluate flexible spending account options that allow pre-tax 
     payment of health and dental insurance premiums, out-of-
     pocket health care expenses, and dependent care expenses for 
     members of the uniformed services.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that while flexible spending accounts 
     may be attractive to some military families, there are also 
     significant costs associated with providing such a benefit. 
     Therefore, the conferees direct the Under Secretary of 
     Personnel and Readiness to provide a briefing to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives by March 1, 2021 on the potential costs 
     and benefits of providing servicemembers with the option 
     to contribute to a pre-tax flexible spending account.
     Report on cost of extending TRICARE coverage to individuals 
         participating in Health Professions Scholarship and 
         Financial Assistance Program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 750A) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, within 120 days of the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, to submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees containing an analysis of 
     the cost of providing health care benefits under the TRICARE 
     program to individuals participating in the Health 
     Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) and the Financial 
     Assistance Program (FAP).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       Since HPSP and FAP recipients are not military 
     servicemembers, the conferees do not expect the Department of 
     Defense to provide health care coverage for such recipients. 
     The conferees encourage HPSP and FAP recipients to enroll at 
     their own expense in health plans sponsored by their academic 
     institutions.
     Report on health care records of dependents who later seek to 
         serve as a member of the Armed Forces
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 750B) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, within 180 days of the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, to submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees on use by the military 
     departments of health care records of individuals who are 
     dependents or former dependents of servicemembers with 
     respect to such individuals later serving or seeking to serve 
     as members of the Armed Forces.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that House Committee Report accompanying 
     H.R. 6395 (H. Rept. 116-442) of the National Defense Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2021, page 154, directs the Secretary of Defense 
     to provide a comprehensive report to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by 
     January 31, 2021, that provides data related to military 
     accession standards and mental health care for individuals 
     seeking accession into the Armed Forces. This report would 
     also specify the overall number of potential enlistees 
     designated as military dependents who were disqualified for 
     accession because of a mental health condition.
     Briefing on extension of TRICARE Prime to eligible 
         beneficiaries in Puerto Rico and other United States 
         territories
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 750C) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, within 90 days of the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, to provide a briefing to the 
     congressional defense committees on the feasibility, 
     benefits, and costs to extend enrollment in TRICARE Prime to 
     eligible beneficiaries in Puerto Rico and other United States 
     territories.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense provided 
     a similar report in response to a requirement in the John S. 
     McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2019 (Public Law 115-232).
     Funding for post-traumatic stress disorder

       The House recedes.
     Increased collaboration with NIH to combat triple negative 
         breast cancer
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 750E) that would 
     require the Department of Defense to work in collaboration 
     with the National Institutes of Health to identify specific 
     biomarkers and to provide information useful in drug 
     discovery and clinical trials design to combat triple 
     negative breast cancer.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Study on readiness contracts and the prevention of drug 
         shortages
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 750F) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study on the

     (S. Rept. 116-236) of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2021, page 234, encourages the Secretary of 
     Defense to carry out a program on musculoskeletal injury 
     prevention research to identify risk factors for such 
     injuries among servicemembers. The conferees recognize the 
     important work being done by the Naval Advanced Medical 
     Research Unit in Wound Care Research and the Army Holistic 
     Health and Fitness Program to conduct such research, and the 
     conferees support additional research efforts to prevent 
     musculoskeletal injuries among servicemembers.
     Sense of Congress regarding maternal mortality review
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 750I) that would 
     express a sense of Congress on maternal mortality and 
     encourage the Department of Defense to establish a maternal

       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that since 2001 the Department of 
     Defense has spent over $2.2 billion on important TBI research 
     that has led to breakthroughs in understanding the long-term 
     effects of mild TBI on brain health. The conferees encourage 
     the Department to continue research on TBI in partnership 
     with civilian institutions, which may include longitudinal 
     studies on long-term brain health and performance.

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

             Subtitle A--Acquisition Policy and Management

     Report on acquisition risk assessment and mitigation as part 
         of Adaptive Acquisition Framework implementation (sec. 
         801)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 831) that 
     would require the Service Acquisition Executives to identify 
     how they are assessing certain risks in acquisition programs 
     under the new Adaptive Acquisition Framework.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical/clarifying amendment.
       The conferees continue to appreciate the careful 
     consideration paid by the Department of Defense to its 
     Adaptive Acquisition Framework, which implements the 
     acquisition reforms legislated over the last 5 years. The 
     conferees believe that the Service Acquisition Executives 
     play important roles as portfolio managers and in executing 
     programs delegated by the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment. The conferees believe that the 
     Department of Defense can no longer afford to use cost, 
     schedule, and performance thresholds as simple proxies for 
     risk when determining the path that an acquisition program 
     travels through the Defense Acquisition System and in 
     organizing how programs are managed and overseen. Exclusive 
     attention to cost, schedule, and performance of major defense 
     acquisition programs and other development programs obscures 
     myriad other risks in programs, large and small, any one of 
     which could be single points of failure for successful 
     acquisitions. Given the role that the Service Acquisition 
     Executives play in portfolio and program management, the 
     conferees believe their insights to be valuable in shaping 
     overall acquisition policy.
     Improving planning, execution, and oversight of life cycle 
         sustainment activities (sec. 802)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 803) that would 
     specify the required elements of life cycle sustainment 
     plans; require the Secretary of Defense to review each major 
     weapon system's life cycle sustainment plan prior to 
     Milestone C approval and periodically thereafter; and direct 
     the Secretary of Defense to notify the congressional defense 
     committees of a significant or critical breach of a major 
     weapon system's baseline sustainment cost estimate, among 
     other things.
        The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     862) that would amend section 2441 of title 10, United States 
     Code, by directing the Secretary of each military department 
     to conduct sustainment reviews on an annual basis and to 
     report certain information resulting from such reviews to the 
     Congress and the public, including information about 
     sustainment cost growth on the Department's most expensive 
     weapon systems. The provision would also require the 
     Comptroller General of the United States to assess the steps 
     the military departments are taking to quantify and address 
     sustainment cost growth.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify 
     sections 2337, 2366b, and 2441 of title 10, United States 
     Code, to improve the Department of Defense's planning, 
     execution, and oversight of life cycle sustainment activities 
     for covered systems. The amendment would define the required 
     elements of a life cycle sustainment plan; assign product 
     support managers responsibility for developing, updating, and 
     executing life cycle sustainment plans; require milestone 
     decision authorities to approve life cycle sustainment plans 
     before Milestone B; modify reporting requirements for 
     sustainment planning in Milestone B certifications; and 
     direct the Secretary of each military department to conduct 
     sustainment reviews every 5 years and submit such reviews to 
     the congressional defense committees, along with a 
     remediation plan to reduce sustainment cost growth, as 
     appropriate. The amendment would also direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to report to the congressional defense committees on 
     the Department's sustainment planning processes for non-major 
     defense acquisition programs.
       The conferees remain concerned about the Department of 
     Defense's lack of sustainment planning during the acquisition 
     process and its ongoing challenges managing sustainment cost 
     growth on fielded systems. The conferees note that while the 
     amended provision is focused on improving sustainment for 
     major defense acquisition programs and certain middle tier 
     acquisitions, other types of acquisition programs, such as 
     large information technology services contracts and software 
     acquisitions, also face sustainment challenges. The conferees 
     intend to monitor the Department's progress in improving 
     sustainment outcomes, including the extent to which 
     sustainment planning is carried out under each of the 
     pathways in the Department's new Adaptive Acquisition 
     Framework.
     Disclosures for offerors for certain shipbuilding major 
         defense acquisition program contracts (sec. 803)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 864) that 
     would require disclosures for certain shipbuilding major 
     defense acquisition program offers.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Implementation of modular open systems approaches (sec. 804)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 861) that 
     would require that not later than 1 year after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with the Joint 
     All Domain Command and Control Cross Functional Team under 
     the supervision of the Department of Defense (DOD) Chief 
     Information Officer and the Joint Staff Director for Command, 
     Control, Communications, and Computer/Cyber, shall prescribe 
     regulations and issue guidance to the military services, 
     Defense agencies and field activities, and combatant 
     commands, as appropriate. The required regulations and 
     guidance would
       (1) Facilitate the Department of Defense's access to and 
     utilization of modular system interfaces;
       (2) Fully realize the intent of chapter 144B of title 10, 
     United States Code, by facilitating the implementation of 
     modular open system approaches across major defense and other 
     relevant acquisition programs, including in the acquisition 
     and sustainment of weapon systems, platforms, and components 
     for which no common interface standard has been established 
     to enable communication; and
       (3) Advance the Department's efforts to generate diverse 
     and recomposable kill chains.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
       The conferees' intent is to expand the use of modularity in 
     the design of weapons systems, as well as business systems 
     and cybersecurity systems, to more easily enable competition 
     for upgrades as well as sustainment throughout a product's 
     lifecycle, while protecting the proprietary intellectual 
     property embodied within the modules of modular systems. 
     Modularity is especially important to enhance 
     interoperability and to support combining and recombining 
     systems in novel and surprising ways to achieve the vision of 
     joint all-domain warfare and the emerging joint warfighting 
     concept. To achieve these objectives, Government use rights 
     for interfaces are indispensable. Modular systems with 
     interfaces designed to common standards improve 
     interoperability. The conferees are also highly encouraged by 
     serious, sustained initiatives by the military departments to 
     develop standards, through public-private consortia, such as 
     the Air Force Open Mission Systems and the Navy's Future 
     Airborne Capability Environment. The enthusiastic embrace of 
     the Joint All Domain Command and Control initiative by all of 
     the military departments and senior DOD civilian leadership 
     demonstrates a welcome and unprecedented commitment to 
     joint warfare.
       The conferees note, however, that prior efforts to adopt 
     universal standards both within and across the military 
     services have failed to achieve comprehensive 
     interoperability. Adoption rates of standards invariably lag, 
     and technology advances require

[[Page H6637]]

     changes in standards that result in backwards 
     incompatibilities. Even if the new initiatives proposed 
     within the DOD research and engineering community overcome 
     these problems, incompatible interfaces will remain numerous 
     for many years to come, hampering joint, multi-domain 
     operations. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency 
     (DARPA) developed, rigorously tested, and repeatedly 
     demonstrated technology to auto-generate code to enable full 
     interoperability across interfaces not built to any standard 
     once they have been appropriately defined and characterized 
     in machine-readable formats. DARPA has executed more than a 
     dozen real-world demonstrations (called ``gauntlets'') of 
     this technology that appear to show that the cost is minimal 
     and that the time required to achieve interoperability 
     between previously incompatible systems is measured in hours 
     and days, not months and years. These demonstrations further 
     indicate that interoperability between systems can be 
     engineered in the field by Government personnel. DARPA's 
     tests and field demonstrations to date indicate that this 
     technology does not introduce latencies or otherwise 
     constrain performance, in contrast to so called 
     ``translation'' approaches to interface interoperability. The 
     conferees are interested in further examination of the DARPA 
     interoperability technology and the provision requires the 
     Department to conduct additional demonstrations.
       Finally, the conferees emphasize that the provision does 
     not mandate the operational deployment and use of DARPA 
     technology, nor does it in any way limit or constrain the 
     development, use, or adoption of interface standards.
     Congressional notification of termination of a middle tier 
         acquisition program (sec. 805)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 801) that would 
     modify section 804 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 10 U.S.C. 2302 note) 
     to direct the Secretary of Defense to provide notification to 
     the congressional defense committees 30 days after a program 
     is terminated that used the `middle tier' of acquisition 
     authority.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Definition of material weakness for contractor business 
         systems (sec. 806)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 804) that would 
     replace the term `significant deficiency' and its definition 
     in section 893 of the Ike Skelton National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383) 
     with the term `material weakness' and its definition, as 
     established by generally accepted auditing standards.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     845).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would further 
     align the definition of `material weakness' used to evaluate 
     contractor business systems with generally accepted auditing 
     standards.
       The conferees note that the Section 809 Panel's `Report of 
     the Advisory Panel on Streamlining and Codifying Acquisition 
     Regulations' recommended this terminology change after 
     finding the Department of Defense's definition of 
     `significant deficiency' was inconsistent with the two-tiered 
     characterization of internal control deficiencies used in 
     generally accepted auditing standards. The conferees are 
     aware this definitional inconsistency has caused confusion 
     about the seriousness of deficiencies identified in 
     contractor business systems. The conferees believe that 
     implementing the two-tiered categorization of deficiencies 
     established by generally accepted auditing standards will 
     allow the Department to maintain appropriate oversight over 
     contractor business systems, while taking a more nuanced 
     approach to classifying contractor business system 
     deficiencies according to their severity.
       In implementing this provision in the Defense Federal 
     Acquisition Regulation Supplement, the conferees direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to ensure definitions for associated 
     terms are also updated or incorporated as appropriate and in 
     line with generally accepted auditing standards, including: 
     `significant deficiency,' `material misstatement,' and 
     `acceptable contractor business system.'
     Space system acquisition and the adaptive acquisition 
         framework (sec. 807)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 807) that would 
     allow the Secretary of the Air Force to assign an appropriate 
     program executive officer as the milestone decision authority 
     for major defense acquisition programs of the United States 
     Space Force.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment regarding 
     milestone decision authority delegation and requires the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a report on the application of the Adaptive 
     Acquisition Framework to space systems.
     Acquisition authority of the Director of the Joint Artificial 
         Intelligence Center (sec. 808)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 805) that would 
     authorize the Director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence 
     Center with responsibility for the development, acquisition, 
     and sustainment of artificial intelligence technologies, 
     services, and capabilities through fiscal year 2025.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with edits to the details of the 
     authority.
     Assessments of the process for developing capability 
         requirements for Department of Defense acquisition 
         programs (sec. 809)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 846) that would 
     require the Secretary of each military department to conduct 
     an assessment of the process for developing capability 
     requirements for acquisition programs and to each submit a 
     report by March 31, 2021, with recommendations to improve the 
     agility and timeliness of that process.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make 
     technical and conforming changes.
       The conferees believe the Department's requirements 
     generation processes, as established under Chairman of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction 5123.01H, pertaining to the 
     Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System, and 
     the associated manual, face many challenges. The conferees 
     note that recent reforms to shift authority for certain 
     acquisition and requirements development decisions to the 
     military departments have placed increasing importance on the 
     efficiency and effectiveness of the military departments' 
     development of capability requirements. However, the 
     conferees are concerned that the military departments' 
     processes for developing capability requirements, including 
     the extent to which they are aligned with the Department's 
     acquisition and budgeting processes, continue to hinder the 
     completion of timely, realistic, and achievable requirements 
     for acquisition programs. Moreover, the conferees believe 
     that recent efforts to implement the Department's adaptive 
     acquisition framework call for a new look at how requirements 
     are generated within each of the acquisition pathways in this 
     framework (including major capability acquisition, middle 
     tier of acquisition, software acquisition, and the 
     acquisition of services, among others) to the benefit of the 
     defense acquisition system. Some of the Department's 
     challenges are well-described in the MITRE Corporation's 
     March 2020 report, titled ``Modernizing DOD Requirements 
     Enabling Speed, Agility, and Innovation,'' in particular the 
     additional time it takes to produce validated requirements 
     for an acquisition program. The conferees note the report's 
     recommendations accord with the idea underpinning the 
     Department's Adaptive Acquisition Framework. Notwithstanding 
     the conferees' direction elsewhere in this Act regarding the 
     Department's incorporation of certain elements in finalizing 
     its interim Software Acquisition Pathway, and in carrying out 
     the activities under this section, the conferees direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to consider the recommendations of the 
     MITRE Corporation's report and to include views on the report 
     in its report to the congressional defense committees, along 
     with rationales for why such recommendations could not be 
     implemented if they are determined to be unsuitable.

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

     Sustainment reform for the Department of Defense (sec. 811)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 811) that would 
     amend section 113 of title 10, United States Code, pertaining 
     to the National Defense Strategy, to add a requirement to 
     develop a strategic framework for prioritizing and 
     integrating activities relating to sustainment of major 
     defense acquisition programs. The provision would also amend 
     section 133 of title 10, United States Code, to expand 
     responsibilities of the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment to include those pertaining to 
     major defense acquisition programs, logistics, and the 
     national technology and industrial base.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add a 
     second strategic framework to the National Defense Strategy 
     under section 113, relating to contested logistics, and would 
     further expand the Under Secretary's responsibilities under 
     section 133 to be applicable to all acquisition programs.
       The conferees note with concern that the Department of 
     Defense systemically fails to address sustainment planning 
     for defense acquisition programs in a sufficient manner, 
     which too often results in significant cost growth during the 
     sustainment phase of the life cycle, of these systems where 
     70 percent of the costs occur.
       The conferees urge the Department to increase its emphasis 
     on delivering joint contested logistics capabilities to 
     support the combatant commands, particularly where there are 
     interdependencies between the armed services. The conferees 
     continue to be concerned that the Department continues to 
     emphasize lethality at the expense of the key force 
     projection and sustainment capabilities required to support 
     great power competition.
     Inclusion of software in Government performance of 
         acquisition functions (sec. 812)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 881) that 
     would include software in government performance of 
     acquisition functions.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.

[[Page H6638]]

       The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     scope of the provision to any acquisition program exceeding 
     the cost level equivalent to a major defense acquisition 
     program, or other programs identified by the Secretary of 
     Defense.
       The conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing by March 1, 
     2021, to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives detailing how the Department of 
     Defense complies with section 1706 of title 10, United States 
     Code, including a presentation of data on the extent to which 
     the goal in subsection (a) is met and the implications for 
     resource requirements, as well as a description of the 
     strategic management and resourcing decisions involved in 
     planning for recruiting, training, and career development of 
     military and civilian employees listed in subsection (a).
     Modifications to Comptroller General assessment of 
         acquisition programs and related initiatives (sec. 813)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 812) that would 
     amend section 2229b(b)(2) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     allow the Comptroller General of the United States to include 
     key analysis of organizational, policy, and legislative 
     changes at the Department of Defense that predate its most 
     recent annual assessment.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the Senate amendment contained a 
     provision (sec. 832) which, among other things, included a 
     subsection (sec. 832(d)) that provided similar permission to 
     the Comptroller General.
     Cost or pricing data reporting requirements for Department of 
         Defense contracts (sec. 814)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 842) that 
     that would modify section 2306a of title 10, United States 
     Code, by establishing a standard $2.0 million threshold for 
     application of the requirements of the Truthful Cost or 
     Pricing Data statute (commonly known as the Truth in 
     Negotiations Act) with respect to subcontracts and price 
     adjustments.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to analyze the impact of this provision 
     and document any resulting benefits to the Government.
       The conferees note that section 811 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) 
     raised the applicability thresholds for section 2306a of 
     title 10, United States Code, limiting the requirement for 
     certified cost and pricing data to those contracts, 
     modifications, and subcontracts that exceeded those 
     thresholds. More recently, section 803 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 
     116-92) included mechanisms to protect the Government's 
     interests with respect to contracts and subcontracts not 
     subject to requirements for certified cost or pricing data.
       The Department and the military services have represented 
     to the conferees that the authority in this provision will 
     promote efficiency, improve acquisition timelines, and reduce 
     administrative costs associated with executing certain 
     contracts with lengthy periods of performance. The conferees 
     note that the purpose of this provision is to streamline the 
     administration of cost accounting, and to reduce 
     inefficiencies associated with the need to maintain dual 
     accounting systems, not to reduce governmental oversight over 
     contracts beneath the applicable threshold. As the Department 
     uses the flexibility associated with this authority, the 
     conferees emphasize the importance of rigorous oversight by 
     acquisition executives to mitigate risks of paying higher 
     prices that are neither fair nor reasonable.
     Prompt payment of contractors (sec. 815)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 871) that 
     would amend contract financing law established under section 
     2307(a)(2) of title 10, United States Code, to strengthen the 
     requirement that the Department of Defense establish a goal 
     to pay small business contractors within 15 days of receipt 
     of an invoice.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Defense Logistics Agency 
     decision in November 2019 to move from 15-day payment terms 
     to 30-day terms may have a detrimental effect on small 
     businesses' ability to continue to do business for the U.S. 
     Government, especially during economic downturns. The 
     conferees further note that modern invoicing and payment 
     systems should be able to support expedited review and 
     payment of invoices, and therefore support the Department's 
     efforts to leverage existing commercial systems to facilitate 
     the prompt payments. The conferees are aware that during the 
     COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Defense has supported 
     its contractors by taking steps to improve the timeliness of 
     payments. The conferees are encouraged by these recent trends 
     and encourage the Department to continue such efforts.
     Documentation pertaining to commercial item determinations 
         (sec. 816)
       The House bill contained provisions (secs. 820 and 820c) 
     that would amend section 2380 of title 10, United States 
     Code, to add a requirement that contracting officers make 
     binding determinations on whether a particular product or 
     service meets the definition of a commercial product or 
     commercial service and that would amend section 2306a of 
     title 10, United States Code, to require contracting officers 
     to presume a previous commercial product or commercial 
     service determination.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would instead 
     allow the contracting officer to request support in making a 
     commercial product or a commercial service determination, as 
     well as require the contracting officer to document that 
     determination.
       The conferees note that section 2380 of title 10, United 
     States Code, requires the Department to maintain a 
     centralized capability, necessary expertise, and resources to 
     provide assistance in making commercial product and 
     commercial service determinations, and to provide access to 
     previous commercial product and commercial service 
     determinations. The conferees are encouraged by the Secretary 
     of Defense's support for the Commercial Items Group within 
     the Defense Contract Management Agency, which had been 
     responsive to direction by section 831(b)(2) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 
     112-239) to establish such an activity. However, the 
     conferees note the Department has failed to fully comply with 
     statutory requirements and internally manage commercial 
     product and commercial service determinations to ensure 
     consistency across the Department. Therefore, the conferees 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
     congressional defense committees by March 1, 2021 describing 
     the Department's process for making the written memoranda 
     determination summaries available for use by contracting 
     officers, and the Department's plan for compliance with 
     commercial product and commercial service statutes.
     Modification to small purchase threshold exception to 
         sourcing requirements for certain articles (sec. 817)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 814) that 
     would modify the small purchases exception included in 
     section 2533a of title 10, United States Code, by 
     establishing a threshold of $150,000, instead of basing such 
     exception on the simplified acquisition threshold, which is 
     currently set at $250,000.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Repeal of program for qualified apprentices for military 
         construction contracts (sec. 818)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 817) that would 
     amend section 2870 of title 10, United States Code, to strike 
     a paragraph that defines the term ``qualified apprentice'' to 
     mean a high-quality apprenticeship program as determined by 
     industry and the Secretary of Labor.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     893) that would repeal section 2870 of title 10, United 
     States Code, in its entirety.
       The House recedes.
     Modifications to mitigating risks related to foreign 
         ownership, control, or influence of Department of Defense 
         contractors and subcontractors (sec. 819)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5894) that 
     would modify section 847(b) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) 
     by incorporating additional requirements for mitigating 
     risks related to foreign ownership, control, or influence.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Department of Defense to establish contract administration 
     procedures for appropriately responding to changes in 
     contractor or subcontractor beneficial ownership status. The 
     amendment would also clarify implementation timelines and 
     correct a reference to existing law.
     Contract closeout authority for services contracts (sec. 820)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 818) that would 
     amend section 836 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) by reducing the 
     contract closeout period for service contracts from 17 years 
     to 7 years, but no less than the Federal Acquisition 
     Regulation's record retention requirements. The House 
     provision would also direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     establish and maintain a centralized contract closeout 
     oversight capability within the Defense Contract Management 
     Agency (DCMA).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand the 
     scope of contracts covered by the provision and further 
     modify contract closeout timeframes. The Senate amendment 
     would also clarify direction regarding DCMA's role in 
     conducting oversight of contract closeout activities.
       Specifically, the conferees note that contract closeout 
     responsibilities are dispersed among many organizations 
     within the Department of Defense, but that the DCMA has 
     particular expertise in carrying out such activities. The 
     conferees therefore encourage other offices within the 
     Department of Defense to leverage DCMA's expertise, as 
     appropriate.

     Revision of proof required when using an evaluation factor 
         for employing or subcontracting with members of the 
         Selected Reserve (sec. 821)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 843) that 
     would modify section 819 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (Public Law 109-163) 
     to remove a documentation requirement that is unnecessary 
     given the solicitation requirements established under subpart 
     15.203 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

       Subtitle C--Provisions Relating to Software and Technology

     Contract authority for development and demonstration of 
         initial or additional prototype units (sec. 831)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 844) that 
     would enhance an authority previously provided to the 
     Department of Defense to streamline the process for moving 
     technologies from science and technology into production by 
     permitting activities to be performed under the same contract 
     as the technology is matured.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to establish procedures for assessing 
     the use of the authority.
       The conferees note that this proposal would help to 
     implement the National Defense Strategy as a reform effort to 
     enable greater performance and affordability, capability 
     delivery at the speed of relevance, and rapid, iterative 
     approaches from development to fielding. The conferees direct 
     the Secretary of Defense to report by March 31, 2021, on the 
     use of the authority under 10 U.S.C. 2302e.
     Extension of pilot program for streamlined awards for 
         innovative technology programs (sec. 832)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 872) that 
     would extend by 3 years the authorization of a pilot program 
     to streamline contracting and auditing processes for certain 
     innovative technology projects carried out by small 
     businesses.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     pilot program until 2022.
       The conferees note that this authority has the potential to 
     accelerate the awards of Small Business Innovation Research 
     contracts and other contracts to innovative non-traditional 
     defense contractors. The conferees direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to provide a briefing no later than March 1, 2021 on 
     the use and benefits of this authority and a recommendation 
     on the extension or permanent authorization of the pilot 
     program. The conferees expect the briefing to include a 
     description of the mechanisms by which the Department is 
     collecting data and analyzing the benefits of the authority 
     and the best practices for its use. The conferees note that 
     unless the Department collects data and demonstrates the 
     value of authorities that enable streamlined acquisition 
     practices, the conferees are unlikely to extend such 
     authorities in the future.
     Listing of other transaction authority consortia (sec. 833)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5891) that 
     would require the Department of Defense to publish on 
     Beta.SAM.gov (or any successor system) a list of the 
     consortia it uses to make awards under other transaction 
     authority.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees note the limited information available on the 
     Department of Defense's use of consortia for other 
     transaction awards. Therefore, the conferees direct the 
     Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report 
     to congressional defense committees not later than December 
     1, 2021, on the nature and extent of the Department's use of 
     consortia for other transactions. The report shall assess the 
     number and dollar value of other transaction awards through 
     consortia, the benefits and challenges of using consortia, 
     how the Department's use of consortia compares to other 
     Federal agencies with other transaction authority, and any 
     other matters the Comptroller General determines to be 
     appropriate.
     Pilot program on the use of consumption-based solutions to 
         address software-intensive warfighting capability (sec. 
         834)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 884) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot 
     program to explore the use of consumption-based solutions to 
     address software-intensive warfighting capability, including 
     criteria for selecting initiatives for the pilot, direction 
     on certain contracting elements, requirements for monitoring 
     pilot activities, and a series of congressional reporting 
     requirements.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would expand the 
     pilot criteria to include military applications beyond 
     software and that would delay the reporting dates.
       The conferees believe that the Department of Defense should 
     take advantage of ``as-a-service'' or ``aaS'' approaches in 
     commercial capability development, particularly where the 
     capability is software-defined and cloud-enabled. The 
     conferees note that, in its final report, the Section 809 
     Panel on Streamlining and Codifying Acquisition recommended 
     the adoption of consumption-based approaches at the 
     Department of Defense, stating, ``More things will be sold as 
     a service in the future. XaaS could really mean everything in 
     the context of the Internet of things (IoT). Consumption-
     based solutions are appearing in many industry sectors, from 
     last mile transportation (e.g., bike shares and electric 
     scooters) to agriculture (e.g., tractor-as-a-service for 
     farmers in developing countries). Most smart phone users are 
     familiar with software updates that provide bug fixes or new 
     features. A more extreme example of technology innovation 
     enabled by the IoT is the ability to deliver physical 
     performance improvements to vehicles through over-the-air 
     software updates . . . In the not-so-distant future, cloud 
     computing and the IoT will enable consumption-based solution 
     offerings and delivery models that are hard to imagine 
     today.'' Therefore, the conferees support the Department of 
     Defense's commitment to new approaches to development and 
     acquisition of software, and believe that the Department 
     should explore a variety of approaches, to include the use of 
     consumption-based solutions for software-intensive 
     warfighting capability.
       The conferees expect that, in conducting activities under 
     the pilot program established in this section, the Department 
     will consider the use of the Adaptive Acquisition Framework's 
     Software pathway.
     Balancing security and innovation in software development and 
         acquisition (sec. 835)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 882) that 
     would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition 
     and Sustainment to incorporate certain considerations while 
     finalizing the interim policy for a software acquisition 
     pathway as part of the Department of Defense's new Adaptive 
     Acquisition Framework.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     considerations, as well as which of the Department's policies 
     would need to incorporate such considerations.
       The conferees recognize the growing importance of assuring 
     the security of software and determining the provenance of 
     code and the risks posed by reliance--whether known or 
     inadvertent--on code produced by or within adversary nations.
       The conferees are also concerned about the Department's 
     non-compliance with section 875 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91). 
     Section 875 required the Department to implement an Office of 
     Management and Budget pilot relating to open source software 
     due to significant potential benefits to the Department, to 
     include improved performance. The conferees note that the 
     Department has cited security concerns in connection with 
     openly publishing certain code. The conferees further note 
     that there is no comprehensive Department-wide process for 
     conducting security reviews of code or parts of code and 
     that the National Security Agency, which should have 
     similar security concerns to the Department as a whole, 
     has such a process for the purpose of maximizing 
     appropriate public release.
       The conferees encourage the Department to pursue the 
     appropriate balance of innovation and security in developing, 
     acquiring, and maintaining software.
       The conferees further direct the Under Secretary of Defense 
     for Acquisition and Sustainment and the Department of Defense 
     Chief Information Officer to develop a roadmap with 
     milestones that will enable the Department to require and 
     effectively manage the submission by contractors of a 
     software bill of materials.
       Finally, the conferees direct the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to update the 
     Department's policy defining a Software Pathway to more 
     clearly demonstrate compliance with the portions of section 
     800 of the National Defense Authorization for Fiscal Year 
     2020 (Public Law 116-92) to: (1) Ensure applicability to 
     defense business systems as defined by section 2222 of title 
     10, United States Code; and (2) Provide for delivery of 
     capability to end-users not later than 1 year after funds are 
     obligated noting that other Government-wide policy and best 
     practices call for updates no less frequently than once every 
     6 months.
     Digital modernization of analytical and decision-support 
         processes for managing and overseeing Department of 
         Defense acquisition programs (sec. 836)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 220) that would 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to develop and implement an 
     advanced digital data and analytics capability that would 
     digitally integrate all data generated in the Department of 
     Defense's acquisition process, such that the data necessary 
     to carry out research and development, test and evaluation, 
     program management, and other acquisition activities would be 
     available in a comprehensive, authoritative, and widely-
     accessible format. The provision would also direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to carry out certain demonstration 
     activities, require the Defense Innovation Board and Defense 
     Digital Service to conduct independent assessments in support 
     of this effort, and establish congressional reporting 
     requirements.

[[Page H6640]]

       The House bill contained another provision (sec. 819) that 
     would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition 
     and Sustainment, in coordination with the Chairman of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Director of Cost Assessment 
     and Program Evaluation, to develop a plan to identify, 
     develop, and acquire databases, analytical and financial 
     tools, and workforce skills to improve the Department of 
     Defense-wide assessment, management, and optimization of 
     investments in weapon systems of the Department, including 
     through consolidation of duplicative or similar weapon system 
     programs.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provisions.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     two provisions to direct digital modernization of analytical 
     and decision-support processes for managing and overseeing 
     Department of Defense acquisition programs.
       The conferees note that several U.S. Government 
     Accountability Office reports have cited the need for 
     improved data management processes surrounding the 
     Department's overall management framework. The conferees note 
     that while most relevant data is Government-owned and 
     authorized for Department-wide use, there is no enterprise 
     mechanism facilitating the discovery, access, correlation or 
     integration, and use of acquisition-related data across 
     organizational boundaries; instead, each functional 
     organization has established and locally optimized its own 
     data and analytic processes for its own needs, and in many 
     cases even these local practices are highly manual and 
     inefficient. The conferees further note open Comptroller 
     General recommendations pertaining to the roles, 
     responsibilities, and activities to execute portfolio 
     management of acquisition programs that the Department has 
     partially disagreed with and thus not implemented. Further, 
     the conferees note that in recent years the Congress has 
     directed and the Department has implemented significant 
     acquisition reforms, and along with those reforms, in the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2020 
     (Public Law 116-92) in sections 830 and 836 the Congress 
     directed the Department to update its decision-support 
     processes to facilitate holistic, comprehensive management 
     and oversight of acquisition programs under the new adaptive 
     acquisition framework. Although the conferees are encouraged 
     by the Department's expansion of its Advanced Analytics 
     (ADVANA) system to provide analytics and decision support for 
     certain of the Department's processes, the conferees are 
     concerned that, notwithstanding ADVANA, the Department is 
     squandering opportunities to reshape management and 
     oversight, and expect the Department to take seriously the 
     direction under this section.
     Safeguarding defense-sensitive United States intellectual 
         property, technology, and other data and information 
         (sec. 837)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 891) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to establish, enforce, 
     and track actions being taken to protect defense-sensitive 
     United States intellectual property, technology, and other 
     data and information, including hardware and software, from 
     acquisition by China. Additionally, the provision would 
     require the Secretary to generate a list of critical national 
     security technology and provide for mechanisms to restrict 
     employees or former employees of the defense industrial base 
     from working directly for companies wholly owned by, or under 
     the direction of, the Government of the People's Republic of 
     China.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Comptroller General report on implementation of software 
         acquisition reforms (sec. 838)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 832) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     assess the extent to which the Department of Defense has 
     implemented various reforms related to the acquisition of 
     software for weapon systems, business systems, and other 
     activities that are part of the defense acquisition system, 
     and that would direct certain changes to a separate 
     Comptroller General annual assessment.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     modification of requirements for a separate Comptroller 
     General assessment of selected acquisition programs and 
     initiatives, as that item is addressed elsewhere in this Act.
       The conferees note that the Defense Science Board and 
     Defense Innovation Board have produced substantial studies 
     with significant recommendations for reform and that the 
     committee has itself produced numerous provisions in prior 
     National Defense Authorization Acts related to the reform of 
     software acquisition. The conferees further note the 
     Department's commitment to implementing these reforms.
     Comptroller General report on intellectual property 
         acquisition and licensing (sec. 839)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 820A) that would 
     require the Department of Defense to consult with 
     stakeholders to develop guidelines for the acquisition of 
     intellectual property (e.g., technological processes), to 
     include model forms and definitions of key terms.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     883) that would direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to report on the implementation of the Department of 
     Defense's instruction for intellectual property acquisition 
     and licensing.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would add certain 
     topics to the Comptroller General review.
       The conferees note that the Department established this 
     instruction in response to section 2322 of title 10, United 
     States Code, which required the Department to develop a 
     policy for intellectual property acquisition and licensing 
     and to create a cadre of intellectual property experts.

                  Subtitle D--Industrial Base Matters

     Additional requirements pertaining to printed circuit boards 
         (sec. 841)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 826) that would 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to establish, for contractors 
     and subcontractors that provide printed circuit boards (PCBs) 
     to the Department of Defense, certifications pertaining to 
     the boards' manufacture and assembly within approved 
     countries at certain percentages and on a certain schedule. 
     The provision would allow the Secretary to waive the 
     requirement upon determining there are no significant 
     national security concerns, and that the contractor is 
     otherwise in compliance with relevant cybersecurity 
     provisions, including section 224 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92).
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     808) that would allow purchase from additional countries and 
     prohibit purchase from certain others and would direct 
     implementation of the associated manufacturing certifications 
     on a different schedule.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to prohibit 
     procurement of covered printed circuit boards from certain 
     enumerated countries; an amendment to modify the definition 
     of covered PCBs to focus on products and services other than 
     commercial products and services, unless specifically 
     identified by the Secretary; and an amendment to direct an 
     independent assessment of the implications of expanding the 
     coverage to more commercial products and services.
       The conferees expect the Department of Defense to take 
     steps to reduce and mitigate national and economic security 
     risks related to sources of supply and manufacture of printed 
     circuit boards. The conferees note that this section is 
     intended to augment, not reduce or supersede, other efforts 
     to reduce and mitigate such risks.
       The conferees note the complexity of technical, security, 
     business, trade, and acquisition program issues that impact 
     any efforts to develop policies relating to this industry. 
     Therefore, the conferees direct an independent assessment to 
     inform further congressional deliberation on this matter.
     Report on nonavailability determinations and quarterly 
         national technology and industrial base briefings (sec. 
         842)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 821) that would 
     amend section 2504 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require quarterly briefings to monitor progress toward 
     eliminating gaps or vulnerabilities in the national 
     technology and industrial base (NTIB) as identified in the 
     Annual Industrial Capabilities Report to the Congress, as 
     required by section 2504 of title 10, United States Code. The 
     House bill also contained a provision (sec. 827) that would 
     require a report describing the use of any waiver or 
     exception by the Department of Defense to the requirements of 
     chapter 83 of title 41, United States Code, or section 2533a 
     of title 10, United States Code, relating to nonavailability 
     determinations.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     5801) that would also require a report on nonavailability 
     determinations under section 2533a of title 10, United States 
     Code.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     provisions to require quarterly briefings to the Congress on 
     the industrial base supporting the Department of Defense 
     describing challenges and vulnerabilities in the defense 
     industrial base and commercial sector relevant to execution 
     of defense missions, and describing initiatives to address 
     such challenges, and would incorporate reporting on covered 
     non-availability determinations. Regarding the NTIB 
     briefings, the conferees note that the NTIB briefings are 
     intended to cover a spectrum of industrial base issues and 
     are not limited to topics related to DOD interactions with 
     non-U.S. members of the national technology and industrial 
     base. Regarding reporting on nonavailability determinations, 
     the conferees note that a briefing on nonavailability 
     determinations was required in the House committee report 
     accompanying H.R. 2500 (H. Rept. 116-120) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, and, as it 
     has yet to be produced by the Department, the conferees 
     intend for this provision's reporting requirements to 
     incorporate that direction. The conferees' intent is to 
     increase insight into waivers, exceptions, and associated 
     determinations in order to shape future industrial base 
     policy direction.
     Modification of framework for modernizing acquisition 
         processes to ensure integrity of industrial base and 
         inclusion of optical transmission components (sec. 843)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 816) that would 
     make a technical change related to optical transmission 
     components.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     804) that would amend section 2509 of title 10, United States 
     Code, to

[[Page H6641]]

     add references to matters of existing law, regulation, 
     policy, and associated activities, and that would make a 
     technical change related to optical transmission components.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment regarding 
     authorities originally established in section 806 of the Ike 
     Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2011 (Public Law 111-383) that were subsequently made 
     permanent in section 881 of the John S. McCain National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 
     115-232).
     Expansion on the prohibition on acquiring certain metal 
         products (sec. 844)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 822) that would 
     expand the prohibition on acquiring certain metal products.
       The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1782) 
     that would prioritize the domestic procurement of tungsten 
     and tungsten powder.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     effective date from 3 to 5 years. The conferees direct the 
     Secretary of Defense in preparing the annual report required 
     by section 2504 of title 10, United States Code, to include 
     the Department's efforts to comply with 10 U.S.C. 2533c.
     Miscellaneous limitations on the procurement of goods other 
         than United States goods (sec. 845)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 823) that would 
     require that certain shipboard components be manufactured in 
     the National Technology and Industrial Base.
       The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (sec. 812 
     and sec. 5812) that would amend section 2534 of title 10, 
     United States Code, related to miscellaneous limitations on 
     the procurement of goods.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require that 
     certain T-AO 205 class components be manufactured in the 
     National Technology and Industrial Base and require the 
     expedited review of certain applications submitted pursuant 
     to section 2534 of title 10, United States Code.
     Improving implementation of policy pertaining to the national 
         technology and industrial base (sec. 846)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 803, as 
     amended by sec. 5803) that would: (1) Require the Secretary 
     of Defense to assess the research and development, 
     manufacturing, and production capabilities of national 
     technology and industrial base (NTIB) members and other 
     friendly nations; (2) Modify section 2350a of title 10, 
     United States Code, to allow for cooperative research and 
     development agreements among the NTIB member countries; (3) 
     Modify section 2502 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     establish a NTIB regulatory council; and (4) Direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to establish a process for considering 
     the inclusion of additional members in the NTIB.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 
     the sections pertaining to the cooperative research and 
     development agreements and the regulatory council, and would 
     modify the process for considering new NTIB members 
     pertaining to roles and responsibilities, legislative 
     proposals, and reporting.
       The conferees are concerned that the National Technology 
     and Industrial Base Council is not convening regularly, 
     particularly at the level of principals, and strongly 
     encourage persistent periodic meetings in light of the 
     significant challenges identified in the Report by the 
     Interagency Task Force in fulfillment of Executive Order 
     13806 and the significant additional obstacles as a result of 
     the COVID-19 pandemic. The conferees therefore direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to report on the frequency and level at 
     which the Council convenes, as part of the quarterly 
     briefings required elsewhere in this Act. The conferees 
     reiterate the direction to the Secretary of Defense in 
     section 881 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), pertaining to reducing 
     the barriers to the seamless integration among the NTIB, and 
     especially those barriers related to identification of 
     changes in export control rules, procedures, and laws that 
     would enhance the civil-military integration policy 
     objectives set forth in section 2501(b) of title 10, United 
     States Code.
     Report and limitation on the availability of funds relating 
         to eliminating the gaps and vulnerabilities in the 
         national technology and industrial base (sec. 847)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 845) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Personnel and Readiness, the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Research and Engineering, and the Under Secretary 
     of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to submit certain 
     reports related to defense reform initiatives required by the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 
     (Public Law 116-92). The provision would also place 
     limitations on the obligation or expenditure of some of the 
     fiscal year 2021 funding authorized to be appropriated for 
     the offices of the specified officials if the required 
     reports were not provided on time.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     availability of funds for the offices of the Secretary of 
     Defense and the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment if the Secretary of Defense does not submit the 
     national security strategy for the national technology and 
     industrial base, required by section 2501(a) of title 10, 
     United States Code, by January 1, 2021.
       The conferees note the Department of Defense has made 
     progress in implementing and reporting on some of the defense 
     reform initiatives referred to in the House provision, 
     particularly with respect to the creation of the Defense 
     Civilian Training Corps program and the establishment of 
     extramural acquisition innovation and research activities. 
     The conferees also note the expansion plan and schedule for 
     the Defense Civilian Training Corps program, required under 
     section 860(b)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2020, has a required submission date of 
     December 31, 2020.
     Supply of strategic and critical materials for the Department 
         of Defense (sec. 848)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 824) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, to the maximum extent 
     practicable, to acquire materials that are determined to be 
     strategic and critical materials required to meet the defense 
     industrial, and essential civilian needs of the United States 
     first from sources located within the United States and then 
     from sources located in the national technology and 
     industrial base, as defined in section 2500 of title 10, 
     United States Code, or from other sources as appropriate.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     809).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to establish 
     preferences and policy regarding the supply of strategic and 
     critical materials for Department of Defense purposes.
       The conferees note that section 846 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) 
     added a requirement that the Department account for executive 
     orders in preparing the annual report required by section 
     2504 of title 10, United States Code. The conferees further 
     note the issuance of Executive Order 13953, ``Addressing the 
     Threat to the Domestic Supply Chain from Reliance on Critical 
     Minerals from Foreign Adversaries and Supporting the Domestic 
     Mining and Processing Industries,'' which implicates some of 
     the same materials addressed by this section. The conferees 
     expect the Department to consider the impacts of Executive 
     Order 13953, as appropriate, in preparing the annual report.
       The conferees urge the Department, in carrying out this 
     section, to complete appropriate Tribal consultation as soon 
     as practicable in accordance with section 106 of the National 
     Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470f) and further 
     complete local, environmental and clean water assessments in 
     accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (42 
     U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
     Analyses of certain activities for action to address sourcing 
         and industrial capacity (sec. 849)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 806) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a series of 
     assessments of certain materials and technology sectors, such 
     as microelectronics and pharmaceutical ingredients, to 
     determine what action to take with respect to sourcing or 
     investment to increase domestic industrial capacity and 
     explore ways to entice critical technology industries to move 
     production to the United States for the purposes of national 
     security.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would amend the 
     list of high priority goods and services in subsection (c); 
     add to and further specify activities required under 
     subsection (b); and provide additional implementation 
     direction.
       The conferees remain concerned about overreliance on non-
     domestic sources of supply for certain technologies and 
     products that are critical to the national defense and have 
     included many of those cases in the text of this provision, 
     and also provided specific directions in other provisions of 
     this Act. The conferees are requiring the Secretary of 
     Defense to conduct a series of assessments of certain 
     materials and technology sectors to determine what action to 
     take with respect to sourcing or investment to increase 
     domestic industrial capacity and explore ways to entice 
     critical technology industries to move production to the 
     United States for the purposes of national security. The 
     conferees note that, in 2018, the Department of Defense 
     published a study titled ``Assessing and Strengthening the 
     Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base and Supply Chain 
     Resiliency of the United States.'' The study identified 
     several risks to the industrial base, including foreign 
     dependency, and in some cases dependency on sole foreign 
     suppliers for critical technologies used by the United States 
     military. Additionally, the U.S.-China Economic and Security 
     Review Commission's 2019 annual report identified a ``growing 
     reliance'' on products critical to the manufacturing of 
     active pharmaceutical ingredients.
       The conferees believe that significant supply chain 
     vulnerability has further been demonstrated by the recent 
     COVID-19 pandemic. This represents a critical vulnerability, 
     especially when supply chains come under the direct control 
     or influence of the Government of the People's Republic of 
     China or are potentially unreliable during an armed conflict. 
     The Department of Defense

[[Page H6642]]

     must increase resiliency by expanding our domestic industrial 
     base as well as fostering industrial cooperation with trusted 
     allies and partners that offer additional capability and 
     capacity in important areas. In exercising various legal 
     authorities to balance these objectives, the Department must 
     rationalize and execute a comprehensive strategy to develop, 
     support, and maintain trusted and assured sources of critical 
     goods from domestic or friendly nation sources, and leverage 
     that strategy beneficially to address industrial capacity for 
     other important materials and goods. In establishing an 
     assessment process for considering all available mechanisms, 
     the Department must enhance defense industrial base 
     resiliency, minimize espionage vulnerabilities, support 
     domestic economic growth, and limit the potential for foreign 
     sabotage or disruption of United States access to critical 
     sources of supply.
       The conferees note that a variety of mechanisms are 
     available to the Department and codified in title 10, United 
     States Code. The conferees note that the assessments 
     themselves required by this provision are intended neither to 
     effect the removal or addition of covered items to statutory 
     lists subject to sourcing prohibitions, nor to remove or 
     increase the Department's ability to make a determination of 
     nonavailability of domestic sources under domestic preference 
     laws to meet critical needs. The conferees note that the 
     provision is intended to initiate analyses of items where 
     such a determination has been made, to determine whether and 
     how to develop additional domestic capacity, and to thereby 
     increase supply chain security.
     Implementation of recommendations for assessing and 
         strengthening the manufacturing and defense industrial 
         base and supply chain resiliency (sec. 850)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 801) that 
     would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition 
     and Sustainment to submit a series of recommendations 
     regarding United States industrial policies to the Secretary 
     of Defense, who would subsequently be required to submit 
     these recommendations to the President, the Office of 
     Management and Budget, the National Security Council, the 
     National Economic Council, and the congressional defense 
     committees.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     scope of the assessment and objectives upon which the 
     Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment is 
     to base the recommendations.
       The conferees commend the Department of Defense for its 
     leadership in implementing the July 21, 2017, Presidential 
     Executive Order 13806, ``Assessing and Strengthening the 
     Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base and Supply Chain 
     Resiliency of the United States.'' The challenges and 
     shortfalls highlighted in the report authored in response to 
     the executive order are of such scale that the conferees 
     believe that only a national approach can effectively address 
     these deficits. Therefore, the conferees expect the 
     Department to exercise its leadership position, analytical 
     capabilities, and policy expertise in developing 
     recommendations for the industrial policies the United States 
     ought to pursue.
     Report on strategic and critical materials (sec. 851)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 830D) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the Congress a 
     report on partnerships for rare earth material supply chain 
     security not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     810) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
     report on strategic and critical minerals and metals and 
     vulnerabilities in the supply chains of such minerals and 
     metals to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives not later than June 30, 2021.
       The House recedes with an amendment that incorporates the 
     requirement pertaining to the ability to facilitate 
     partnerships with institutes of higher education; situates 
     the reporting requirement in the annual industrial 
     capabilities report required by section 2504 of title 10, 
     United States Code; and makes other technical corrections.
       The conferees urge the Department, in carrying out this 
     section, to complete appropriate Tribal consultation as soon 
     as practicable in accordance with section 106 of the National 
     Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470f) and further 
     complete local, environmental and clean water assessments in 
     accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (42 
     U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)
     Report on aluminum refining, processing, and manufacturing 
         (sec. 852)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 830) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on how 
     authorities under the Defense Production Act could be used to 
     increase activities related to refining aluminum and the 
     development of processing and manufacturing capabilities for 
     aluminum.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to include such reporting as an appendix 
     to the Department of Defense's annual national technology and 
     industrial base report, required by section 2504 of title 10, 
     United States Code.
       The conferees note that the refining of aluminum and the 
     development of processing and manufacturing capabilities for 
     aluminum, including a geographically diverse set of such 
     capabilities, may have important implications for the defense 
     industrial base and national defense.

                   Subtitle E--Small Business Matters

     Initiatives to support small businesses in the national 
         technology and industrial base (sec. 861)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 844) that would 
     establish a Small Business Industrial Base Resiliency 
     Program, under which an Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
     Industrial Base Policy (established elsewhere in the Bill) 
     would enter into transactions with small business concerns to 
     respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Secretary of Defense, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
     Industrial Base Policy, and other officials to establish 
     several initiatives to help the Department of Defense better 
     leverage small business concerns in its efforts to eliminate 
     gaps and vulnerabilities in the national technology and 
     industrial base.
       The conferees note that small businesses play a critical 
     role in ensuring the integrity of the national technology and 
     industrial base. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department 
     of Defense has awarded a large number of contracts to small 
     businesses to support the interagency pandemic response. 
     Despite these critical contributions, however, the conferees 
     note there is not a recurring requirement for the Department 
     of Defense to update, implement, and assess the success of 
     its small business strategy. Moreover, the conferees observe 
     that although the U.S. Small Business Administration's annual 
     scorecard shows the Department and each of the services have 
     reached their small business contracting goals, the number of 
     small businesses contracting with the Department has declined 
     steadily in recent years. The conferees also note that the 
     COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the difficulties of 
     identifying and providing assistance to small businesses in 
     the national technology and industrial base, particularly 
     those small businesses that are in sub-tiers of the defense 
     supply chain. Therefore, the conferees encourage the 
     Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy, 
     established elsewhere in this Act, to maintain a strong focus 
     on leveraging and expanding the number of small businesses in 
     the national technology and industrial base.
     Transfer of verification of small business concerns owned and 
         controlled by veterans or service-disabled veterans to 
         the Small Business Administration (sec. 862)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that would 
     amend section 8127 of title 38, United States Code, and 
     sections 16 and 36 of the Small Business Act (as codified at 
     sections 645 and 657f of title 15, United States Code) to 
     transfer the function of certifying Service Disabled Veteran 
     Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and Veteran Owned Small 
     Businesses (VOSBs) from the Department of Veterans Affairs 
     (VA) to the Small Business Administration (SBA), phase out 
     self-certification of SDVOSBs for the purposes of the 
     Federal-wide SDVOSB contracting goal in favor of affirmative 
     certification by SBA, and better harmonize the mechanics of 
     the SDVOSB contracting program with other small business 
     contracting programs already administered by SBA.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 
     in subsection (a) the possibility for indefinite 
     postponements of the transfer date; eliminate in subsection 
     (d) the requirement that SBA conduct risk-based examinations 
     of certified firms separate from periodic recertification 
     examinations; clarify in subsections (d) and (e) enforcement 
     and penalties language to better conform to relevant sections 
     of the Small Business Act; and clarify in subsection (g) that 
     VA personnel are not directed to be transferred and shall be 
     guaranteed continuous employment, and that legal documents, 
     proceedings, suits, and administrative actions shall continue 
     notwithstanding the transfer of the certification function.
     Employment size standard requirements for small business 
         concerns (sec. 863)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 840A) that would 
     extend from 12 months to 24 months the time period to which 
     an agency must refer when categorizing a manufacturer as a 
     small business based on its average employment.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Maximum award price for sole source manufacturing contracts 
         (sec. 864)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5875) that 
     would amend the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631 et seq.) by 
     modifying the maximum award price for sole source 
     manufacturing contracts.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

[[Page H6643]]

  

     Reporting requirement on expenditure amounts for the Small 
         Business Innovation Research Program and the Small 
         Business Technology Transfer Program (sec. 865)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 873) that 
     would direct the Small Business Administration to include in 
     its annual report to the Congress whether agencies have met 
     required expenditure amounts for the Small Business 
     Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology 
     Transfer (STTR) programs, and would require the Small 
     Business Administration to direct those agencies which have 
     not met the required expenditure amounts to report to the 
     Congress on why they have not done so.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
     agencies' responsibilities for reporting to the Congress on 
     compliance with legal requirements for minimum SBIR/STTR 
     expenditure amounts.
     Small businesses in territories of the United States (sec. 
         866)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 838) that would 
     provide assistance in securing opportunities in the Federal 
     marketplace to small businesses located in territories of the 
     United States, as recommended by the Congressional Task Force 
     on Economic Growth in Puerto Rico.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Eligibility of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
         Islands for certain Small Business Administration 
         programs (sec. 867)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 839) that would 
     ensure the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is 
     eligible for the Small Business Administration's Small 
     Business Development Center (SBDC) and Federal and State 
     Technology (FAST) programs.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     5872).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Past performance ratings of certain small business concerns 
         (sec. 868)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 836) that would 
     amend the Small Business Act by requiring contracting 
     officers to consider a small business concern's past 
     performance in a joint venture or as a first-tier 
     subcontractor when evaluating the small business concern's 
     offer for a prime contract.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would allow the 
     small business concern to elect for such past performance to 
     be considered by a contracting officer, rather than requiring 
     it.
     Extension of participation in 8(a) program (sec. 869)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 835) that would 
     allow small business concerns participating in the program 
     established under section 8(a) of the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 637) on or before March 13, 2020, to extend such 
     participation by a period of 1 year, and that would require 
     the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to 
     issue regulations implementing this provision within 15 days.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     5874) that would allow small business concerns participating 
     in the 8(a) program on the date of enactment of this 
     provision to continue their participation for 1 year.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would revise the 
     eligibility date in the provision to on or before September 
     9, 2020.
     Compliance of Offices of Small Business and Disadvantaged 
         Business Utilization (sec. 870)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5871) that 
     would amend section 15(k) of the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 644(k)) by requiring Federal agencies that are not in 
     compliance with statutory requirements pertaining to the 
     Office of Small Business and Disadvantaged Business 
     Utilization to report to the Congress on the reasons for such 
     noncompliance and the steps they are taking to become 
     compliant.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Category management training (sec. 871)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 837) that would 
     direct the Administrator of the Small Business Administration 
     to develop a training curriculum on category management for 
     staff of Federal agencies with procurement or acquisition 
     responsibilities; to ensure such staff receive the category 
     management training; and to submit a copy of the training 
     curriculum to the Committee on Small Business of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Small Business and 
     Entrepreneurship of the Senate.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

                       Subtitle F--Other Matters

     Review of and report on overdue acquisition and cross-
         servicing agreement transactions (sec. 881)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1271) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to produce a report on 
     all unreimbursed and overdue Acquisition and Cross-Servicing 
     (ACSA) transactions valued at $1.0 million or more. The 
     provision would also require a plan for securing 
     reimbursement from the relevant foreign partner and a summary 
     of actions taken by the Department to improve record-keeping 
     related to ACSA transactions.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Domestic comparative testing activities (sec. 882)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 892) that 
     would modify section 2350a of title 10, United States Code, 
     to allow for domestic comparative test.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees believe that the Department of Defense's new 
     Adaptive Acquisition Framework is a very important step 
     toward ensuring additional avenues for new entrants to the 
     defense industrial base. The conferees emphasize the Federal 
     Acquisition Regulation preference for commercial solutions 
     and believe that this is especially important in technical 
     areas where commercial development outpaces the Department. 
     The ability of companies with innovative commercial solutions 
     to conduct comparative tests with one or more programs of 
     record against program requirements is foundational to 
     enabling the Department's ability to benefit from commercial 
     innovation.
       Accordingly, the conferees direct the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment and the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering to jointly 
     prepare an implementation plan that: (1) Defines the points 
     along each of the acquisition pathways where market research 
     should be refreshed, and (2) Establishes entry points for 
     initiating such testing and associated procedures. The Under 
     Secretaries shall brief the congressional defense committees 
     no later than July 15, 2021, on the plan and associated 
     implementation activities.
     Prohibition on awarding of contracts to contractors that 
         require nondisclosure agreements relating to waste, 
         fraud, or abuse (sec. 883)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 813) that would 
     amend sections 2409(a) of title 10 and 4712(a) of title 31, 
     United States Code, to clarify that an employee of a Federal 
     government contractor, subcontractor, grantee, subgrantee, or 
     personal services contractor may not be discharged, demoted, 
     or otherwise discriminated against as a reprisal for 
     disclosing to law enforcement or investigative personnel, 
     fraud, waste, or abuse with regard to a government contract 
     or grant, even if that employee had previously signed or was 
     subject to a non-disclosure agreement.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit the 
     Secretary of Defense from awarding a contract to a contractor 
     that requires its employees to sign internal confidentiality 
     agreements or statements that would prohibit or otherwise 
     restrict such employees from lawfully reporting waste, fraud, 
     or abuse related to the performance of a Department of 
     Defense contract to a designated investigative or law 
     enforcement representative of the Department authorized to 
     receive such information. Further, the amendment would 
     require each contractor to inform its employees of the 
     limitations on confidentiality agreements and other 
     statements imposed by the provision.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives, not later than 180 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, detailing the 
     Department's plan and mechanism for ensuring contractor 
     compliance with the statutory prohibition against reprisal 
     against an employee of a contractor, subcontractor, grantee, 
     subgrantee, or personal services contractor for disclosing 
     information that the employee reasonably believes is evidence 
     of gross mismanagement of a DOD contract or grant; an abuse 
     of authority; a violation of law, rule, or mismanagement 
     related to a Department contract or grant; or a substantial 
     and specific danger to public health or safety.
     Program management improvement officers and program 
         management policy council (sec. 884)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1745) that would 
     amend title 31, United States Code, to direct adherence to 
     certain standards for program and project management; further 
     specify qualifications for the Program Management Improvement 
     Officer; and adjust the frequency of the Program Management 
     Policy Council's meetings.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     changes to the standards.
     Disclosure of beneficial owners in database for Federal 
         agency contract and grant officers (sec. 885)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 815) that would 
     amend section 2313 of title 41, United States Code, by 
     requiring the database used by Federal agency contract and 
     grant officers for contractor responsibility determinations 
     to reflect information about contractors' beneficial owners.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Repeal of pilot program on payment of costs for denied 
         Government Accountability Office bid protests (sec. 886)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 846) that 
     would repeal section 827 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), 
     which required the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot 
     program to determine the effectiveness of requiring 
     contractors to reimburse the Department of Defense (DOD) for 
     costs incurred in processing covered protests.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the pilot program is unlikely to 
     result in improvements to the bid protest process given the 
     small number of bid protests captured by the pilot criteria 
     and lack of cost data.
       The conferees continue to support efforts to improve the 
     handling of bid protests. In support of such efforts, the 
     conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to undertake a 
     study through the Center for Acquisition Innovation Research, 
     to examine elements of Section 885 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Pub. L. 114-328) for 
     which the RAND National Defense Research Institute was unable 
     to obtain full and complete data during its analysis. This 
     study shall address: (1) The rate at which protestors are 
     awarded the contract that was the subject of the bid protest; 
     (2) A description of the time it takes the Department to 
     implement corrective actions after a ruling or decision, the 
     percentage of those corrective actions that are subsequently 
     protested, and the outcomes of those protests; (3) Analysis 
     of the time spent at each phase of the procurement process 
     attempting to prevent a protest, addressing a protest, or 
     taking corrective action in response to a protest, including 
     the efficacy of any actions attempted to prevent the 
     occurrence of a protest; and (4) Analysis of the number and 
     disposition of protests filed within the Department.
       The conferees emphasize the potential benefits of a robust 
     agency-level bid protest process. Accordingly, the study 
     should evaluate the following factors for agency-level bid 
     protests: prevalence, timeliness, outcomes, availability, and 
     reliability of data on protest activities; consistency of 
     protest processes among the military Services; and any other 
     challenges that affect the expediency of such protest 
     processes. In doing so, the study should review existing law, 
     the Federal Acquisition Regulation, and agency policies and 
     procedures and solicit input from across the DOD and industry 
     stakeholders. The conferees note that an academic study 
     recently examined the agency-level bid protest process at 
     various federal agencies, including the Department of 
     Defense, and reported on that study to the Administrative 
     Conference of the United States. The conferees direct the 
     Department to consider these recommendations among those it 
     might make to improve the expediency, timeliness, 
     transparency, and consistency of agency-level bid protests.
        Not later than September 1, 2021, the Secretary of Defense 
     shall provide the congressional defense committees with a 
     report detailing the results and recommendations of the 
     study, together with such comments as the Secretary 
     determines appropriate.
     Amendments to submissions to Congress relating to certain 
         foreign military sales (sec. 887)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 842) that would 
     amend section 887(b) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) and make various 
     modifications to the report required under such section.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     5893).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend for 
     1 year the reporting requirement and would specify that the 
     report would apply only to foreign military sales processes 
     within the Department of Defense.
     Revision to requirement to use firm fixed-price contracts for 
         foreign military sales (sec. 888)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 843) that would 
     amend section 830 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to exclude 
     modifications to a defense service or article requiring 
     significant development work from the requirement to use firm 
     fixed price contracts for foreign military sales. The 
     provision would also prohibit the Secretary of Defense 
     from delegating the authority to waive such requirement 
     below the level of the Service Acquisition Executive.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would repeal 
     section 830 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2017.
     Assessment and enhancement of national security innovation 
         base (sec. 889)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 802) that 
     would require the Deputy Secretary of Defense to conduct an 
     assessment of how economic forces and structures are shaping 
     the capacity of the national security innovation base. The 
     provision would require the Deputy Secretary to submit an 
     assessment along with any policy recommendations proceeding 
     from it to the Secretary of Defense no later than 540 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act and the Secretary 
     of Defense to submit such assessment and recommendations, no 
     later than 30 days after receipt, to the President, the 
     Office of Management and Budget, the National Security 
     Council, the National Economic Council, and the congressional 
     defense committees.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would revise the 
     elements under assessment and would require the Secretary to 
     submit the Department's combined assessment to the outside 
     parties by March 1, 2022.
       The conferees recognize the Department of Defense's 
     substantial efforts to ensure that the industrial base is 
     innovative, robust, and expansive, and remain concerned that 
     the wider U.S. economy has a significant impact on the 
     industrial base. The conferees believe that ensuring domestic 
     production and supply of critical national security 
     technologies and source materials may extend beyond the 
     activities, industrial policies, and scope of the Department 
     of Defense and require serious interagency and private sector 
     cooperation. The conferees also believe that developing a 
     strategy to address this issue should be an inclusive, whole-
     of-government deliberative process that involves the 
     Department of Defense, other relevant government agencies, 
     and relevant stakeholders. The conferees recognize that 
     Department of Defense appropriations are downstream of 
     economic health and Federal budgets. The conferees intend for 
     this provision to help the Department identify critical 
     economic features affecting the industrial base, propose 
     policies to guarantee that its development, industrial, and 
     budgetary needs are recognized, and ensure that broader 
     economic policy decisions are fully informed.
     Identification of certain contracts relating to construction 
         or maintenance of a border wall (sec. 890)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 850) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to include on a public 
     website of the Department of Defense a list of certain 
     contracts relating to construction or maintenance of a border 
     wall.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Waivers of certain conditions for progress payments under 
         certain contracts during the COVID-19 national emergency 
         (sec. 891)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5841) that 
     would allow the Secretary of Defense to temporarily increase 
     the progress payment rate for undefinitized contract actions 
     during the COVID-19 national emergency.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would add 
     conditions to the waiver pertaining to companies' receipt of 
     progress payments under other contracts, the companies' 
     efforts to flow cash to subcontractors and suppliers, and 
     other matters, as well as reporting on the use of the waivers 
     and the flow of payments to subcontractors and suppliers.
       The conferees support the Department of Defense's (DOD) 
     actions to increase cash flow to the defense industry during 
     the ongoing pandemic, which included increasing the rate of 
     progress payments from 80 percent up to 95 percent for 
     certain companies, and guidance on the use of advance 
     payments in certain cases, among others. The conferees note 
     that, according to DOD officials, these actions enabled DOD 
     to provide billions of dollars to the defense industry in a 
     period of severe economic downturn and instability.
       The conferees remain concerned about whether and how the 
     companies that received these funds to stabilize their 
     operations in turn increased the rate of payments to their 
     subcontractors and suppliers, who are in many cases small and 
     medium sized firms that were potentially more at risk during 
     this period.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Comptroller General of 
     the United States to assess the Department's actions to 
     provide and monitor the use of advance payments and the 
     increased rate of progress payments. As part of this review, 
     the conferees direct the Comptroller General to brief the 
     defense committees by September 30, 2021 on: (1) The number 
     and types of contracts and contractors that received advanced 
     payments or increased rates of progress payments; (2) The 
     amount of funding that was provided via these mechanisms; (3) 
     The extent to which DOD established effective oversight 
     procedures to ensure that the recipients of these funds 
     provided, as appropriate, increased payments to their 
     subcontractors and suppliers; (4) The risks, if any, that the 
     use of these mechanisms posed to DOD and how DOD mitigated 
     such risks; and (5) Any other matters the Comptroller General 
     determines to be appropriate. The conferees further direct 
     the Comptroller General to provide a final report to the 
     congressional defense committees at a time to be mutually 
     agreed to following the briefing.


                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

     Modification to the definition of nontraditional defense 
         contractor
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 802) that would 
     amend section 2302(9) of title 10, United States Code, by 
     adding to the term ``nontraditional defense contractor'' an

[[Page H6645]]

     entity that is owned entirely by an employee stock ownership 
     plan (ESOP).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note the Department of Defense may benefit 
     from the workforce talent attracted by entities that are 
     owned entirely by employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), yet 
     a recent Government Accountability Office study showed there 
     are no readily available data to determine what percent of an 
     entity is owned by an ESOP. Therefore, the conferees direct 
     the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
     congressional defense committees by December 31, 2020, on the 
     advantages of working with ESOPs and the barriers ESOPs face 
     in contracting with the Department. For the purposes of this 
     briefing, an ESOP shall mean an entity that is owned entirely 
     by an employee stock ownership plan (as defined in section 
     4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (title 26 of 
     United States Code)).
     Competition requirements for purchases from Federal Prison 
         Industries
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 814) that would 
     amend section 2410n of title 10, United States Code. This 
     provision would eliminate the federal market share 
     determination requirement for the purchase of products from 
     Federal Prison Industries.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Requirements concerning former Department of Defense 
         officials and lobbying activities
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 820B) that would 
     require certain defense contractors to submit to the 
     Secretary of Defense and make available to the public an 
     annual report naming the former Department of Defense (DOD) 
     personnel to whom the contractor provided compensation in the 
     past year--including certain political appointees, members of 
     the Senior Executive Service, military officers in the grade 
     of O-6 and above, and certain acquisition personnel--as well 
     as the specific issues and lobbying activities in which each 
     named DOD official engaged on behalf of the contractor over 
     the same period.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       Not later than June 30, 2021, the Secretary of Defense, 
     informed by the ongoing review of the Comptroller General of 
     the United States on the post-government employment of former 
     DOD officials, will provide to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a 
     briefing on the implementation of Department of Defense 
     Instruction 1000.32, Prohibition of Lobbying Activity by DOD 
     Senior Officials, dated March 26, 2020. The briefing will 
     provide an overview of the policies and procedures the 
     Department has established to operationalize the limitations 
     imposed by section 1045 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), on the ability 
     of retired and former general and flag officers and senior 
     civilian equivalents to engage in lobbying contacts and 
     activities with respect to the DOD. In addition, the briefing 
     will provide: (1) An explanation of the interplay between 
     section 1045 and the longstanding regime of ethics laws 
     applicable to the entirety of the executive branch; (2) An 
     assessment of the effectiveness of the section 1045 
     limitations, both in promoting ethical conduct by former 
     senior DOD officials in the context of post-government 
     activities and in minimizing adverse effects on the 
     Department of what is sometimes referred to as the 
     ``revolving door;'' (3) An assessment of the clarity and 
     enforceability of the ``behind the scenes'' restrictions 
     imposed by section 1045; (4) A description of the legal and 
     practical challenges, if any, in the Department's 
     implementation of section 1045; (5) An evaluation of the 
     effects, if any, of the limitations imposed by section 1045 
     on the Department's ability both to attract experienced and 
     qualified persons to public service in the DOD and to 
     derive benefit from communications with former senior 
     employees and officers; and (6) A discussion of any 
     related matter the Secretary deems appropriate.
     Enhanced domestic content requirement for major defense 
         acquisition programs
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 825) that would 
     provide further direction for the Department of Defense in 
     implementing the Buy American Act, as defined by chapter 83 
     of title 41, United States Code, for major defense 
     acquisition programs. The provision would contain additional 
     specific direction pertaining to what comprises 
     ``substantially all'' for the purposes of assessing 
     manufactured articles, materials, or supplies, to be domestic 
     and would also require the Secretary of Defense to establish 
     an information repository for collection and analysis of 
     information related to domestic source content of major 
     defense acquisition programs.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note the importance of the Department working 
     with trusted foreign partners and developing methodologies to 
     understand beneficial ownership within the defense industrial 
     base. The conferees direct the Secretary to provide a 
     briefing to the congressional defense committees not later 
     than March 1, 2021, on mechanisms used to track foreign 
     involvement in individual acquisition programs, as directed 
     by section 2509 of title 10, United States Code, and 
     elsewhere in this Act. The conferees further direct the 
     Secretary to consider the benefits of working with allies and 
     partners that are currently designated as ``qualifying 
     countries'' under the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 
     Supplement, to assist the countries' understanding of the 
     composition of their supply chains, and any associated risks.
       The conferees note that the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) established 
     section 2509 of title 10, United States Code, which in 
     subsection (d) directed the Department to develop a unified 
     set of activities to modernize the systems of record, data 
     sources and collection methods, and data exposure mechanisms 
     to analyze and mitigate supply chain risks. The conferees 
     note this followed direction on supply chain risk management 
     in section 2339a of title 10, United States Code, which 
     directed the Department to conduct certain activities to 
     identify risk to national security systems and authorized 
     certain contracting actions to mitigate supply chain risk 
     with respect to companies, including subcontractors and 
     suppliers. The conferees acknowledge the Department has taken 
     significant steps to implement these provisions of law, 
     including making use of the Department's existing Advanced 
     Analytics (ADVANA) repository to populate information about 
     suppliers. However, the conferees remain concerned about lack 
     of coordination within the Department and delays in 
     collecting all pertinent data. Therefore, the conferees 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure the collection and 
     analysis of information related to sourcing of individual 
     acquisition programs.
     Sense of Congress on the prohibition on certain 
         telecommunications and video surveillance services or 
         equipment
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 828) that 
     expressed a sense of Congress regarding rulemaking to 
     facilitate successful implementation of section 889 of the 
     John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232; 132 Stat 1917; 41 U.S.C. note 
     prec. 3901) which prohibits using or procuring certain 
     telecommunications and video surveillance equipment.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Federal Acquisition Regulatory 
     Council released an interim rule on the implementation of 
     section 889(a)(1)(B) that went into effect on August 13, 
     2020. On August 12, 2020, the Director of National 
     Intelligence provided the Department of Defense with a 
     temporary waiver under the authority of section 889(d)(2) for 
     certain contracting activities assessed as low-risk and to 
     avoid disruption of end of year financial activities and has 
     since extended that waiver a full year to September 30, 2022. 
     Department of Defense officials have publicly stated the 
     Department may seek additional waivers on a case-by-case 
     basis, but does not seek to delay wholesale implementation of 
     the rule. The conferees emphasize the importance of regular 
     dialogue with the Department on section 889 implementation, 
     generally, and encourage continued communication with the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, especially on additional waivers the 
     Department may seek. The committee looks forward to updates 
     on the Department's positive progress towards compliance with 
     statute and congressional intent.
     Domestic sourcing requirements for aluminum
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 829) that would 
     amend section 2533b of title 10; sections 5323, 22905, 24305, 
     and 50101 of title 49; and section 313 of title 23, United 
     States Code, to add domestic content preferences for aluminum 
     pertaining to activities of the Department of Defense, 
     Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit 
     Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, Federal 
     Aviation Administration, and Amtrak.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that elsewhere in this Act, the 
     Secretary of Defense is directed to conduct analyses of 
     certain materials and technology sectors and make 
     recommendations for action to address sourcing and industrial 
     capacity, including specifically for aluminum.
     Briefing on the supply chain for small unmanned aircraft 
         system components
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 830A) would 
     require a briefing on the supply chain for small unmanned 
     aircraft system components, including a discussion of current 
     and projected future demand for small unmanned aircraft 
     system components.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees expect the Department of Defense to continue 
     its efforts to develop and sustain a secure and reliable 
     sourcing strategy for small unmanned aircraft systems and 
     their associated components. The conferees direct the 
     Secretary of Defense in preparing the annual report due on 
     March 1, 2021, as required by section 2504 of title 10, 
     United States Code, to include an assessment of current and 
     projected future demand for small

[[Page H6646]]

     unmanned aircraft system components. This assessment shall 
     include: (1) The sustainability and availability of secure 
     sources of critical components domestically and from sources 
     in allied and partner nations; (2) The cost, availability, 
     and quality of secure sources of critical components and 
     other relevant information domestically and from sources in 
     allied and partner nations; (3) Any plans of the Department 
     of Defense to address gaps or deficiencies, including through 
     the use of funds available under the Defense Production Act 
     (50 U.S.C. 55) or through partnerships with public and 
     private stakeholders; and (4) Other information as the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment 
     determines to be appropriate.
     Prohibition on procurement or operation of foreign-made 
         unmanned aircraft systems
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 830B) that would 
     prohibit the head of an executive agency from procuring any 
     commercial off-the-shelf drone or covered unmanned aircraft, 
     or any component thereof for use in such a drone or unmanned 
     aircraft, that is manufactured or assembled by a covered 
     foreign entity, including any flight controllers, radios, 
     core processors, printed circuit boards, cameras, or gimbals.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense has taken 
     steps to reduce unwanted dependence on foreign unmanned 
     aircraft systems. The conferees direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to continue these efforts by developing mechanisms to 
     share appropriate threat information related to the 
     operational use of such foreign systems to appropriate 
     Federal agencies, upon request. The conferees note the 
     importance of accounting for unmanned aircraft systems that 
     are manufactured or assembled in foreign countries that are 
     adversaries of the United States, tracking the use of those 
     systems, and guarding against risks to national security 
     associated with such systems. The conferees also underscore 
     the importance of developing ways to enhance the capacity and 
     capability of a domestic unmanned aircraft industry. The 
     conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     briefing to the congressional defense committees on 
     activities to share such threat information with Federal 
     agencies not later than October 1, 2021.
     Sense of Congress on gaps or vulnerabilities in the national 
         technology and industrial base
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 830C) that would 
     express a Sense of Congress on gaps or vulnerabilities in the 
     national technology and industrial base.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense in preparing 
     the annual report due on March 1, 2021 as required by section 
     2504 of title 10, United States Code, to include an 
     assessment of gaps or vulnerabilities in the national 
     technology and industrial base (as defined in section 2500 of 
     title 10, United States Code) with respect to intellectual 
     property theft as related to the development and long-term 
     sustainability of defense technologies; the extent to which, 
     if any, foreign adversaries engage in operations to exploit 
     such gaps or vulnerabilities; recommendations to mitigate or 
     address any such gaps or vulnerabilities identified by the 
     Secretary; and any other matters the Secretary determines 
     should be included.
     Equitable adjustments to certain construction contracts
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 832) that would 
     amend the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631) to allow a small 
     business performing a construction contract to submit a 
     request for equitable adjustment to an agency if the 
     contracting officer directs a change within the general scope 
     of the contract without the agreement of the small business, 
     and that would require the agency to provide an interim 
     partial payment to the small business upon receipt of such 
     request.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Exemption of certain contracts awarded to small business 
         concerns from category management requirements
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 833) that would 
     exempt certain contracts awarded to small business concerns 
     from category management requirements and that would require 
     the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to 
     develop and implement a plan to increase small business 
     participation in agency-wide or Government-wide contracts.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on accelerated payments to certain small business 
         concerns
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 834) that would 
     require the head of each Federal agency (as defined by 
     section 551(a) of title 5, United States Code) to submit to 
     the Congress a report on the timeliness of accelerated 
     payments made to certain small business concerns.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the head of each Federal agency to 
     submit to the Congress not later than March 1, 2021 a report 
     on the timeliness of payments made to a prime contractor (as 
     defined in section 8701 of title 41, United States Code) that 
     is a small business concern (as defined in section 3 of the 
     Small Business Act (section 632 of title 15, United States 
     Code)) or to a prime contractor that subcontracts with a 
     small business concern. The report shall include: (1) The 
     date on which the Federal agency began providing accelerated 
     payments in accordance with section 2307(a)(2) of title 10, 
     United States Code, or paragraphs (10) and (11) of section 
     3903(a) of title 31, United States Code, as applicable, to a 
     covered prime contractor; (2) Of contracts to which such 
     sections apply, the amount and percentage of contracts with 
     accelerated payment terms in accordance with such sections; 
     and (3) Whether and on what date the agency discontinued 
     implementation of the Office of Management and Budget 
     Circular M-11-32 titled ``Accelerating Payments to Small 
     Businesses for Goods and Services'' (issued September 14, 
     2011).
     Boots to Business Program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 840) that would 
     amend section 32 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 657b) 
     by codifying the Small Business Administration's Boots to 
     Business program, which provides entrepreneurial training for 
     certain members of the Armed Forces who are transitioning to 
     civilian life.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Modifications to supervision and award of certain contracts
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 841) that would 
     create a locality preference for the award of military 
     construction projects to firms and individuals within 60 
     miles of the location of the work, as well as other 
     transparency and reporting requirements.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees recognize that military construction projects 
     have the potential to provide significant economic stimulus 
     to firms and individuals in local communities. The conferees 
     encourage the military departments to seek opportunities to 
     increase contracting opportunities to local entities and 
     increase transparency and reporting of work performed by 
     local entities, where practicable.
     Authority to acquire innovative commercial products and 
         services using general solicitation competitive 
         procedures
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 841) that 
     would permanently authorize the Department of Defense to use 
     what are commonly known as Commercial Solutions Openings to 
     solicit and acquire innovative commercial items, 
     technologies, or services.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that this authority was originally 
     established in section 879 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) 
     and that it has been successfully used by the Department to 
     establish agreements with small businesses in technology 
     areas relevant to supporting the current National Defense 
     Strategy.
       The conferees expect the Department to provide detailed 
     justification to reauthorize this instrument and associated 
     flexibilities. Accordingly, the conferees direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to collect data on the specific cases, 
     synthesize best practices, develop appropriate educational 
     and training activities for the use of this authority, and to 
     ensure such content is made available to the Department's 
     acquisition workforce. As the conferees believe that such 
     information will be invaluable to the Congress prior to 
     considering reauthorization of this potentially powerful 
     acquisition authority, the conferees direct the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to 
     provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees on 
     the case data, best practices, and other activities by March 
     1, 2021.
     Reports recommending disposition of notes and pertaining to 
         reorganization of certain sections of defense acquisition 
         statutes
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 847) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees with a proposal for the 
     transfer and consolidation of certain defense acquisition 
     statutes within the framework of part V of subtitle A of 
     title 10, United States Code (as enacted by section 801 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
     (Public Law 115-232)), by February 21, 2021.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     5892) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
     report to the congressional defense committees regarding the 
     disposition of provisions of law in the notes sections of 
     sections of title 10, United States Code.
       The conference agreement does not include these provisions.
     Prohibition on contracting with persons with willful or 
         repeated violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 
         1938
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 848) that would 
     require the head of a Federal department or agency to 
     initiate debarment proceedings against persons for whom four 
     or more willful or repeated violations of the Fair Labor 
     Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C.

[[Page H6647]]

     201 et seq.) are listed in the Government-wide performance 
     and integrity database.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense continues 
     to award contracts to companies cited for willful or repeated 
     fair labor standards violations under the Fair Labor 
     Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA). The conferees note the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for 2020 (Public Law 116-92) 
     established section 2509 of title 10, United States Code, 
     pertaining to the integrity of the defense industrial base, 
     which included directing attention to contractor behavior 
     that constitutes violations of the law, fraud, and associated 
     remedies, including suspension and debarment.
       The conferees further note that a July 2020 Government 
     Accountability Office (GAO) report, titled ``Defense 
     Contractors: Information on Violations of Safety, Health, and 
     Fair Labor Standards'' (GAO-20-587R), mandated by the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, 
     reviewing data from 2015-2019, determined that 417 companies 
     had been cited for willful or repeated violations of FLSA 
     pertaining to minimum wage, overtime, or child labor. 
     Specifically, GAO found almost 5,200 such violations, most 
     frequently, failures to pay minimum wage, overtime, and to 
     keep accurate records. The conferees note that these 
     companies, representing less than half of one percent of the 
     companies the Department does business with, could 
     potentially be replaced by more responsible contractors in 
     order to improve the integrity of the industrial base, and 
     potentially reward companies with better records of 
     performance in these matters.
       The conferees direct the Department to enter into an 
     agreement with the Acquisition Innovation Research Center 
     (AIRC) established by Section 835 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, to: (1) Assess and 
     distinguish the extent to which statutory and discretionary 
     debarment procedures address the Department of Defense's 
     interests in being protected from those entities whose 
     conduct poses business integrity risk to the Government; (2) 
     Identify any gaps in the current requirements for statutory 
     debarment as a result of labor law violations; (3) Provide 
     recommendations as to whether the mission of the Interagency 
     Suspension and Debarment Committee, an interagency body of 
     which DOD is a member and which reports to the Congress 
     annually on the status and improvements made to the Federal 
     suspension and debarment system (pursuant to Section 873 
     of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417)), should be 
     expanded to include not just discretionary but also 
     statutory suspension and debarment; and (4) Provide any 
     other recommendations the AIRC finds relevant.
     Reestablishment of Commission on Wartime Contracting
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 849) that would 
     reestablish and modify the duties of the Commission on 
     Wartime Contracting.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that section 887 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) 
     required the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     report on the use of contractors to perform work supporting 
     contingency operations, including the logistical support for 
     such operations since January 1, 2009. That report will 
     include an evaluation of the extent to which recommendations 
     made by the Wartime Contracting Commission have been 
     implemented in policy, guidance, education, and training. The 
     conferees reemphasize the importance of rigorous oversight of 
     contracting for military, security, and reconstruction 
     operations abroad, and acknowledge the Commission's valuable 
     work.
     Congressional oversight of private security contractor 
         contracts
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 851) that would 
     direct the Inspector General of the Department of Defense to 
     submit reports assessing various aspects of private security 
     contracts performed in areas of contingency operations.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Revisions to the Unified Facilities Criteria regarding the 
         use of variable refrigerant flow systems
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 852) that would 
     require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
     Sustainment to publish any proposed revisions to the Unified 
     Facilities Criteria regarding the use of variable refrigerant 
     flow systems in the Federal Register and specify a comment 
     period of at least 60 days.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Recommendations for future direct selections
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 863) that 
     would require each military department to nominate to the 
     congressional defense committees at least one acquisition 
     program for which it would be appropriate and advantageous to 
     use large numbers of users to provide direct assessment of 
     the outcome of a competitive contract award.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of each military 
     department to identify at least one newly started acquisition 
     program for which it may be appropriate, under the 
     Department's new Adaptive Acquisition Framework, to have a 
     proportional representation of end users participate in 
     materiel solution analysis supporting a Milestone A decision; 
     in technology maturation and risk reduction activities 
     supporting a Milestone B decision; and in developmental and 
     operational testing activities supporting a fielding 
     decision. The Secretaries shall brief the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on 
     the programs identified and activities conducted, in 
     conjunction with the future years defense program submitted 
     under section 221 of title 10, United States Code, for fiscal 
     year 2022.
     Report on the effect of the Defense Manufacturing Communities 
         Support Program on the defense supply chain
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5802) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     Congress on the Defense Manufacturing Communities Support 
     Program.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
     report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
     September 30, 2021, evaluating the effect of the Defense 
     Manufacturing Communities Support Program, as authorized 
     under section 846 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232), 
     on the defense supply chain. The evaluation should consider 
     the program's effect on: (1) The diversification of the 
     supply chain; (2) Procurement costs; and (3) Efficient 
     procurement processes.
     Disaster declaration in rural areas
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5873) that 
     would amend section 7(b) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
     636(b)) to establish requirements pertaining to rural area 
     disaster declarations.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Small business loans for nonprofit child care providers
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5877) that 
     would amend section 623(a) of title 15, United States Code, 
     to authorize non-profit childcare providers access to small 
     business loan programs under title 15 of United States Code.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

      Title IX--Department of Defense Organization and Management

   Subtitle A--Office of the Secretary of Defense and Related Matters

     Repeal of position of Chief Management Officer of the 
         Department of Defense (sec. 901)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 901) that would 
     repeal the position of the Department of Defense Chief 
     Management Officer (CMO) not later than 30 days after the 
     enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2021, and would require the Secretary of Defense 
     to submit to the congressional defense committees within 180 
     days of the date of the enactment of this Act, a 
     comprehensive legislative proposal for conforming amendments 
     to law required by the repeal of the position.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 911) that 
     would disestablish the position of the CMO on a date to be 
     determined by the Secretary of Defense, but in no case later 
     than September 30, 2022.
       The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 912) 
     that would require that, not later than 45 days before the 
     date on which the Secretary of Defense determined that the 
     position of the CMO should be disestablished, the Secretary 
     submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives a report setting forth: (1) The 
     position and title of each officer or employee of the 
     Department of Defense (DOD) in whom the Secretary would vest 
     responsibility for performing the various duties of the CMO 
     on the disestablishment of that position; (2) Any duties of 
     the CMO that the Secretary would recommend be discontinued or 
     modified; (3) A description of the process and timeline for 
     transferring the responsibilities and resources of the CMO to 
     appropriate DOD persons and organizations; (4) The 
     Secretary's recommendations for additional authorities and 
     resources that would be required to ensure effective exercise 
     by the appropriate DOD officers or employees of the 
     responsibilities to be transferred to them from the CMO; and 
     (5) Such other matters as the Secretary deemed appropriate.
       The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 913) 
     that would codify in section 142a of title 10, United States 
     Code, the position of Department of Defense Performance 
     Improvement Officer (PIO), to be appointed consistent with 
     and perform the duties and functions enumerated in section 
     1124 of title 31, United States Code, together with such 
     other duties and responsibilities prescribed by the Secretary 
     or Deputy Secretary of Defense.
       The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 914) 
     that would affirm the designation of the Deputy Secretary of 
     Defense

[[Page H6648]]

     as the Chief Operating Officer of the DOD in accordance with 
     section 1123 of title 31, United States Code, and the 
     Deputy's responsibility for supervision of the PIO. Further, 
     consistent with the disestablishment of the position of the 
     CMO, the provision would reassign certain responsibilities 
     and duties to particular officers and employees of the DOD.
       The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 915) 
     that, consistent with the disestablishment of the position of 
     the CMO, would reassign certain duties and responsibilities 
     established in law to those DOD officers or employees so 
     designated by the Secretary or Deputy Secretary of Defense.
       The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 916) 
     that would codify in section 101 of title 10, United States 
     Code, the definition of the term ``enterprise business 
     operations.''
       The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 917) 
     that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     Congress an annual report on the enterprise business 
     operations of the DOD.
       The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 918) 
     that would provide conforming amendments to title 10, United 
     States Code, to reflect the disestablishment of the position 
     of CMO and codification of the position of PIO.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     repeal of the position of CMO, with enumerated amendments 
     to law to take effect on the date of the enactment of this 
     Act, and would require the Secretary of Defense to 
     transfer each duty and responsibility and all resources of 
     the CMO to an officer, employee, organization, or element 
     of the DOD, within 1 year of enactment. Further, the 
     amendment would require the Secretary of Defense to submit 
     to the congressional defense committees, within 1 year of 
     the enactment of this Act, a report that should include 
     any legislative proposals necessary to effectuate the 
     changes to law made by this section.
     Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low 
         Intensity Conflict and related matters (sec. 902)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 901) that 
     would clarify the responsibilities of the Assistant Secretary 
     of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict 
     (ASD SOLIC) for providing civilian oversight and advocacy for 
     special operations forces (SOF). Specifically, the provision 
     would modify section 138(b)(2) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to clarify the administrative chain of command for the 
     ASD SOLIC in exercising authority, direction, and control 
     with respect to the special operations-peculiar 
     administration and support of U.S. Special Operations Command 
     (SOCOM). The provision would also codify the Secretariat for 
     Special Operations, which currently exists within the Office 
     of the ASD SOLIC, in section 139 of title 10, United States 
     Code. Lastly, the provision would require the Secretary of 
     Defense, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, to publish a Department of Defense 
     directive establishing policy and procedures related to the 
     exercise of authority, direction, and control of all matters 
     relating to the organization, training, and equipping of SOF 
     by the ASD SOLIC as specified by section 138(b)(2)(A) of 
     title 10, United States Code.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make 
     clarifying changes to the provision.
       The conferees are concerned with the lack of progress on 
     implementation of section 922 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 
     114- 328), which enhanced the role of ASD SOLIC as the 
     individual responsible for providing civilian oversight and 
     advocacy of SOF. The conferees note that a May 2019 report 
     published by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found 
     that the majority of the remaining tasks identified by the 
     Department as necessary for implementing section 922 do not 
     have clear timeframes for completion. Furthermore, the GAO 
     found that ``outdated'' departmental guidance is hindering 
     the ASD SOLIC's ability to serve as the ``service secretary-
     like'' civilian responsible for the oversight and advocacy of 
     SOF, as required by section 138(b) of title 10, United States 
     Code. Further, the conferees are concerned by the lack of 
     progress in staffing the Secretariat for Special Operations 
     that was created to facilitate the ASD SOLIC's 
     responsibilities despite efforts by the committee in recent 
     NDAAs to provide additional flexibility to the Department to 
     bring on additional personnel to support the activities of 
     the Secretariat.
       The conferees believe that an empowered and appropriately 
     resourced ASD SOLIC is critical to the effective civilian 
     oversight and advocacy of SOF and to ensuring that this force 
     is appropriately aligned with the objectives of the National 
     Defense Strategy.
     Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy 
         (sec. 903)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 902) that would 
     amend section 138 of title 10, United States Code, to require 
     one of the Assistant Secretaries to be the Assistant 
     Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy, whose 
     principal duty would be the overall supervision of policy of 
     the Department of Defense for developing and maintaining the 
     defense industrial base of the United States and ensuring a 
     secure supply of materials critical to national security. The 
     provision would further specify the duties and 
     responsibilities of the office and direct certain transfer 
     activities and timeframes, and would make technical and 
     conforming changes to other provisions of law.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     specification of duties and responsibilities from the 
     provision, and would remove the direction of certain transfer 
     activities and timeframes for execution.
       The conferees note increasing concerns in the Congress, 
     industry, and the Department over: the health of the defense 
     industrial base; risks to sources of supply; and the 
     reliability of the supply chain to meet defense needs. The 
     conferees note that, accordingly, following the Executive 
     Order 13806 on Assessing and Strengthening the Manufacturing 
     and Defense Industrial Base and Supply Chain Resiliency of 
     the United States, and the associated Department of Defense 
     report and recommendations, the profile and workload of the 
     Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Policy, 
     who was designated to lead efforts in this policy area by the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, 
     has increased significantly. The conferees also note that 
     senior leaders in both the Congress and the Department have 
     focused increasing attention on defense industrial base 
     issues, including increasing the profile and funding of 
     certain activities authorized under the Defense Production 
     Act, which are currently led by the Deputy Assistant 
     Secretary. The conferees further note that the COVID-19 
     pandemic and associated efforts to shore up the United 
     States' defense industrial base and expand its industrial 
     capacity have further expanded the workload for the Deputy 
     Assistant Secretary, and especially the interagency 
     coordination required to execute planned activities. The 
     provision therefore elevates the civilian leadership position 
     responsible for these activities in order to reflect the 
     visibility and importance of the Department's activities with 
     respect to the security of the United States.
       The conferees expect the Secretary of Defense to ensure 
     that the new office of the Assistant Secretary be adequately 
     resourced in both personnel and budget, as well as delegated 
     appropriate authority, and provided with the high-level 
     support necessary to perform such duties and responsibilities 
     as the Secretary directs. The conferees further note that 
     initiatives that are currently under the purview of the 
     Deputy Assistant Secretary should be monitored by senior 
     leadership to ensure appropriate continuity of activities 
     that have proven to be effective in strengthening the 
     Department's ability to develop and execute defense 
     industrial base policies that are supportive of the National 
     Defense Strategy.
     Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations, and 
         Environment (sec. 904)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1789) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to carry out a study on the 
     creation of a position of Assistant Deputy Secretary for 
     Environment and Resilience, submit a report to the Congress 
     containing all findings and determinations made in carrying 
     out the study, and establish the position of Assistant Deputy 
     Secretary for Environment and Resilience after issuing such 
     report. The provision would also require the Assistant Deputy 
     Secretary for Environment and Resilience to issue an annual 
     report to the Secretary of Defense and the Congress 
     containing a description of the actions taken by the 
     Assistant Deputy Secretary during the previous year.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would increase 
     the authorized number of Assistant Secretaries of Defense. 
     Further, the provision would require one of the Assistant 
     Secretaries be the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, 
     Installations, and Environment with the principal duty of 
     overall supervision of matters relating to energy, 
     installations, and the environment for the Department of 
     Defense.
     Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (sec. 905)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 914) that would 
     codify the existing Department of Defense Office of Economic 
     Adjustment and emphasize its current primary mission of 
     community cooperation through management of programs such as 
     the Defense Critical Infrastructure Program, Defense Access 
     Roads Program, and Joint Land Use Studies to address 
     encroachment around military installations and compatible 
     land use, and support of military families through schools 
     and manufacturing programs.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     902).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment that would 
     prohibit the involuntary separation of any personnel within 
     the newly codified Office of Local Defense Community 
     Cooperation for 1 year after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act.
     Input from the Vice Chief of National Guard Bureau to the 
         Joint Requirements Oversight Council (sec. 906)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 915) that would 
     amend section 181 of title 10, United States Code, to require 
     the Joint Requirements Oversight Council to seek the

[[Page H6649]]

     views of the Chief of the National Guard Bureau regarding 
     non-federalized National Guard capabilities in support of 
     homeland defense and civil support missions.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     904) that would include the Vice Chief of the National Guard 
     Bureau as an advisor to the Joint Requirements Oversight 
     Council under certain circumstances.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment that would 
     require the Joint Requirements Oversight Council to seek the 
     views of the Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau on non-
     federalized National Guard capabilities in support of 
     homeland defense and civil support missions.
     Assignment of responsibility for the Arctic region within the 
         Office of the Secretary of Defense (sec. 907)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 903) that would 
     require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International 
     Security Affairs to assign responsibility for the Arctic 
     region to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the 
     Western Hemisphere or any other Deputy Assistant Secretary of 
     Defense the Secretary of Defense considers appropriate.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     905).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Modernization of process used by the Department of Defense to 
         identify, task, and manage Congressional reporting 
         requirements (sec. 908)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 903) that 
     would require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
     Legislative Affairs to conduct business process reengineering 
     analysis and assess commercially available analytics tools, 
     technologies, and services in order to modernize the process 
     by which the Department of Defense identifies reporting 
     requirements from the text of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act, tasks the reports within the Department, 
     and manages their completion and delivery to the Congress.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees note that the current process for tasking, 
     assigning, generating, and distributing congressionally 
     required reports does not serve anyone involved, as most of 
     the process involves manual data entry ill-suited to the 
     scope and complexity of congressional oversight of defense 
     issues. This generates unnecessary workload for both sides 
     and significantly impedes congressional oversight. The 
     conferees have worked to modernize transmission of reporting 
     requirements to the Department of Defense and strongly urge 
     the Secretary of Defense to continue prioritizing the 
     Department's encouraging efforts to modernize its systems and 
     processes related to reports.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Assistant Secretary of 
     Defense for Legislative Affairs and the Chief Information 
     Officer of the Department of Defense to brief the 
     congressional defense committees not later than January 31, 
     2021, on the results of the analysis to date and actions 
     taken and planned to modernize the Department's system and 
     processes for managing congressionally required reports.

  Subtitle B--Other Department of Defense Organization and Management 
                                Matters

     Reform of the Department of Defense (sec. 911)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 806) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, the Secretaries of the 
     military departments, and the combatant commanders to 
     undertake reform of the Department of Defense to provide more 
     efficient and economical administration of the Department, 
     and to issue policy and guidance to that effect. The 
     provision would add reform to existing requirements in the 
     National Defense Strategy, Defense Planning Guidance, and the 
     Defense authorization request. The provision would also 
     require the Secretary to deliver a report to the Congress on 
     reform efforts.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would retain the 
     requirement for the Secretary of Defense to undertake reform 
     at the department, including by improving its ability to 
     assess the costs and benefits of certain reform activities. 
     The amendment requires the Secretary of Defense to submit an 
     annual framework for reform to the Congress to begin the task 
     of improving congressional-executive understanding of 
     progress toward reform at the Department of Defense, and 
     requires the Government Accountability Office to review that 
     framework.
       The conferees strongly encourage the Department of Defense 
     to draw a clear distinction between the covered activities of 
     reform--including up-front investments--and actions taken to 
     prioritize, such as reductions in requirements, deferrals or 
     delays in programs or activities, or simple acceptance of 
     risk.
     Limitation on reduction of civilian workforce (sec. 912)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 911) that would 
     amend section 129a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     prohibit the Secretary of Defense from reducing the civilian 
     workforce unless the Department of Defense assesses the 
     impact of such a reduction on workload, military force 
     structure, lethality, readiness, operational effectiveness, 
     stress on the military force, and costs.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Chief Diversity Officer and Senior Advisors for Diversity and 
         Inclusion (sec. 913)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 912) that would 
     amend chapter 4 of title 10, United States Code, to create a 
     Chief Diversity Officer of the Department of Defense; chapter 
     703 of title 10, United States Code, to create a Chief 
     Diversity Officer of the Department of the Army; chapter 803 
     of title 10, United States Code, to create a Chief Diversity 
     Officer of the Department of the Navy; chapter 903 of title 
     10, United States Code, to create a Chief Diversity Officer 
     of the Air Force; and chapter 3 of title 14, United States 
     Code, to create a Chief Diversity Officer of the Coast Guard, 
     each of whom would be appointed by the President, with the 
     advice and consent of the Senate.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to appoint a Chief Diversity Officer of 
     the Department of Defense from among persons who have an 
     extensive management or business background and experience 
     with diversity and inclusion. The Chief Diversity Officer 
     would report directly to the Secretary of Defense and be 
     responsible for providing advice on policy, oversight, 
     guidance, and coordination for all matters of the Department 
     of Defense related to diversity and inclusion. Further, the 
     amendment would require the Secretary of each military 
     department and the Commandant of the Coast Guard to appoint a 
     Senior Advisor for Diversity and Inclusion.
     Limitation on consolidation or transition to alternative 
         content delivery methods within the Defense Media 
         Activity (sec. 914)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 919) that would 
     limit consolidation or transition to alternative content 
     delivery methods from occurring within the Defense Media 
     Activity until a period of 180 days has elapsed following the 
     date on which the Secretary of Defense submits to the 
     congressional defense committees a report with a detailed 
     certification that a transition to alternative content 
     delivery methods poses no security vulnerabilities or 
     increase monetary costs to servicemembers.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     report to change the detailed certification requirement to 
     instead identify the business case for any alternative 
     content delivery methods as well as identify risks and 
     associated risk mitigation actions.

                    Subtitle C--Space Force Matters

     Office of the Chief of Space Operations (sec. 921)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 922) that would 
     provide technical and conforming amendments to clarify in 
     existing law the function and composition of the Office of 
     the Chief of Space Operations and the general duties of the 
     Chief of Space Operations.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Clarification of Space Force and Chief of Space Operations 
         authorities (sec. 922)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 931) that 
     would provide technical and conforming amendments to clarify 
     in existing law the authorities of the United States Space 
     Force and the Chief of Space Operations.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Amendments to Department of the Air Force provisions in title 
         10, United States Code (sec. 923)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 932) that 
     would provide technical and conforming amendments to 
     incorporate the United States Space Force in Department of 
     the Air Force provisions in title 10, United States Code.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     technical amendment to section 9017 of title 10, United 
     States Code, to adjust the placement of the Chief of Space 
     Operations on the list of officials slated to perform the 
     duties of the Secretary of the Air Force, should the 
     Secretary die, resign, be removed from office, or be absent 
     or disabled.

     incorporate the United States Space Force in certain 
     provisions of title 10, United States Code.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
     Space Force contributions to the Joint Staff.
     Amendments to provisions of law relating to pay and 
         allowances (sec. 925)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 934) that 
     would provide technical and conforming amendments to 
     incorporate 

[[Page H6650]]

     the United States Space Force in certain provisions of law 
     pertaining to military pay and allowances.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Amendments to provisions of law relating to veterans' 
         benefits (sec. 926)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 935) that 
     would provide technical and conforming amendments to 
     incorporate the United States Space Force in certain 
     provisions of law relating to veterans' benefits.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Amendments to other provisions of the United States Code and 
         other laws (sec. 927)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 936) that 
     would provide technical and conforming amendments to 
     incorporate the United States Space Force in certain other 
     sections of the United States Code.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would amend to 
     section 1(a) of the Act of August 12, 1946 (Public Law 79-
     772) to include the Chief of Space Operations or the Chief's 
     designee as a member of the board established to advise the 
     Smithsonian Institution on the administration of the National 
     Air and Space Museum.
     Applicability to other provisions of law (sec. 928)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 937) that 
     would define the authority of the Secretary of Defense and 
     the Secretary of the Air Force with regard to members of the 
     United States Space Force and the benefits for which members 
     of the United States Space Force would be eligible with 
     regard to any provision of law not addressed by the technical 
     and conforming amendments enacted in this Act.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to section 958 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 
     (Public Law 116-92) that would ensure, unless otherwise 
     specified in law, that members and civilian employees of the 
     Space Force are treated commensurate with members and 
     civilian employees of the Air Force and that the Secretary of 
     Defense and Secretary of the Air Force may exercise the same 
     authorities vis-a-vis the Space Force as they do with regard 
     to the Air Force.
     Temporary exemption from authorized daily average of members 
         in pay grades E-8 and E-9 (sec. 929)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 925) that would 
     exempt the United States Space Force from the limitation on 
     the number of military personnel in the grade of E-8 and E-9 
     contained in section 517 of title 10, United States Code, 
     until October 1, 2023.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     945).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Limitation on transfer of military installations to the 
         jurisdiction of the Space Force (sec. 930)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 943) that 
     would prohibit the transfer of any military installation to 
     the jurisdiction or command of the Space Force unless the 
     Secretary of the Air Force conducts a business case analysis 
     on the transfer and provides a briefing on such analysis to 
     the congressional defense committees.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Organization of the Space Force (sec. 931)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 517) that would 
     not allow the Secretary of the Air Force to transfer or 
     relocate any personnel or asset, or dissolve any unit, of the 
     Air National Guard or Air Force Reserve until the latter of 
     the following occurs: (1) The day that is 180 days after the 
     date on which the Secretary of the Air Force submits the 
     report under subsection (b); or (2) The Chief of Space 
     Operations certifies in writing to the Secretary of the Air 
     Force that plans of the Secretary to establish the reserve 
     components of the Space Force shall not diminish space 
     capability of the Department of the Air Force. Subsection (b) 
     of the provision would require the Secretary of the Air Force 
     to submit, not later than January 31, 2021, to the Committees 
     on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives 
     a report regarding the plan of the Secretary to establish the 
     reserve components of the Space Force. The report shall 
     identify the following: (1) The assumptions and factors used 
     to develop the plan; (2) The members of the team that issued 
     recommendations regarding the organization of such reserve 
     components; (3) The recommendations of the Secretary 
     regarding the mission, organization, and unit retention of 
     such reserve components; (4) The final organizational and 
     integration recommendations regarding such reserve 
     components; (5) The proposed staffing and operational 
     organization for such reserve components; (6) The estimated 
     date of implementation of the plan; and (7) Any savings or 
     costs arising from the preservation of existing space-related 
     force structures in the Air National Guard.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     941) that would not allow the Space National Guard to be 
     established as a reserve component of the Space Force until 
     the Secretary of Defense certifies in writing to the 
     congressional defense committees that a Space National Guard 
     is the organization best suited to discharge in an effective 
     and efficient manner the missions intended to be assigned to 
     the Space National Guard.
       The Senate recedes with a modifying amendment.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide 
     the congressional defense committees legislative 
     recommendations that would consider the preferred 
     organizational structure and integration of the reserve 
     components and a consideration of the full time and part-time 
     permeability that may best leverage the human capital of the 
     Space Force, including a single integrated force.


                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

     Establishment of Deputy Assistant Secretaries for Sustainment
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 913) that would 
     require the military departments to each establish a position 
     of a Deputy Assistant Secretary for Sustainment and would 
     outline the responsibilities of each position.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees continue to be disappointed by the lack of 
     emphasis the military departments place on sustainment in the 
     acquisition process. This lack of foresight continues to 
     unnecessarily burden budgets that are already stressed to 
     meet the Department's modernization and recapitalization 
     requirements. The conferees note that the Department of the 
     Navy has already established a Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
     Sustainment. As fifth generation and other advanced platforms 
     are fielded alongside legacy systems, the conferees believe 
     that additional emphasis must be placed on sustainment.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of each military 
     department to submit an assessment not later than March 1, 
     2021 to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives determining if each respective 
     military department believes it should establish a Deputy 
     Assistant Secretary for Sustainment. If the Secretary 
     concerned determines a Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
     Sustainment is warranted, the report should include an 
     implementation plan, to include a timeline for establishment.
     Redesignation of the Joint Forces Staff College
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 916) that would 
     amend title 10, United States Code, to rename the Joint 
     Forces Staff College to the Joint Forces War College.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that elsewhere in this bill the 
     Secretary of Defense is required to conduct a thorough review 
     of professional military education and to provide a report to 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives that contains recommendations for possible 
     reforms. It would be premature to begin renaming Department 
     of Defense academic institutions before the results of the 
     Secretary's review are delivered to the Congress.
     Comptroller General report on vulnerabilities of the 
         Department of Defense resulting from offshore technical 
         support call centers
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 918) that would 
     direct a Comptroller General of the United States review of 
     the vulnerabilities created by foreign call centers 
     supporting the Department of Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     5951).
       The conference agreement does not include either provision.
       The conferees are concerned about the nature and extent of 
     reliance on offshore technical support call centers and the 
     vulnerabilities they pose for the Department and its 
     personnel. The conferees direct the Chief Information Officer 
     of the Department of Defense to brief the congressional 
     defense committees no later than October 1, 2021 on 
     vulnerabilities in connection with the provision of services 
     by offshore technical support call centers to the Department 
     of Defense, to include a description of the nature, extent, 
     and location of such call centers, and a description of 
     activities to reduce vulnerabilities. The conferees note 
     that ``offshore technical support call centers'' are 
     physically located outside the United States; employ 
     individuals who are foreign nationals; and may be 
     contacted by personnel of the Department to provide 
     technical support relating to technology used by the 
     Department.
     Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space and Strategic 
         Deterrence Policy
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 921) that would 
     change the existing requirement for an Assistant Secretary of 
     Defense for Space Policy into a requirement for an Assistant 
     Secretary of Defense for Space and Strategic Deterrence 
     Policy. The provision would detail the responsibilities of 
     the position and make certain conforming amendments to 
     existing U.S. Code.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees agree that both space and strategic 
     deterrence play an important role

[[Page H6651]]

     in national defense policy. Both space and deterrence policy 
     should be coordinated and the conferees encourage the 
     Department to work to ensure deterrence policy is adequately 
     addressed as space is elevated in the Office of the Secretary 
     of Defense.
     Space Force Medal
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 923) that would 
     authorize the President to award a decoration called the 
     ``Space Force Medal'' to any person who, while serving with 
     the Space Force, distinguishes himself or herself by heroism 
     not involving actual conflict with an enemy.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 947) that 
     would supersede the current ``Airman's Medal,'' with an ``Air 
     and Space Force Medal.''
       The conference agreement does not include either provision.
       The conferees understand that an assessment of the naming 
     conventions and precedence of Space Force-unique awards and 
     decorations is ongoing. Once the Secretary of the Air Force 
     has decided these issues, the Secretary shall submit a report 
     to the Committees on Armed Service of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives detailing the names and precedence 
     of Space Force-unique awards and decorations. The conferees 
     encourage the Secretary of the Air Force to consider the 
     independent culture being developed within the Space Force, 
     as well as the principles underlying the Department of 
     Defense military decorations and awards program, in choosing 
     a name and design for the medal intended to recognize the 
     service, sacrifice, and actions of Space Force personnel who 
     have distinguished themselves through heroism not involving 
     actual conflict with the enemy.
     Rank and grade structure of the United States Space Force
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 927) that would 
     require the Space Force to use a system of ranks and grades 
     that is identical to the system of ranks and grades used by 
     the Navy.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees understand that the Space Force is currently 
     undertaking an assessment of the future rank structure of the 
     members of the Space Force. The conferees assume the Space 
     Force will be comprised of members transferring from all 
     services across the Department and strongly encourage the 
     consideration of all the military services historic rank 
     structures. Once a decision by the Secretary of the Air Force 
     has been made the Secretary will submit the findings and 
     decision to the Committees on Armed Service of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives detailing the final rank 
     structure of the officer and enlisted force of the Space 
     Force at least 15 days prior to implementation.
     Report on the role of the Naval Postgraduate School in space 
         education
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 928) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Navy to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on the future role 
     of the Naval Postgraduate School in space education.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy to provide a 
     report, not later than 180 days after the date of enactment 
     of this Act, to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives on the future role of 
     the Naval Postgraduate School in space education. The report 
     shall include the following elements:
       (1) An overview of the Naval Postgraduate School's existing 
     space-focused education and research capabilities, programs, 
     products, and outputs;
       (2) An identification and evaluation of additional space-
     focused educational requirements that may be fulfilled by the 
     Naval Postgraduate School, including any requirements 
     resulting from the establishment of the Space Force or 
     otherwise necessitated by the evolving space-related needs of 
     the Department of Defense; and
       (3) A plan for meeting the requirements identified under 
     paragraph (2), including a description of the types and 
     amounts of additional resources that may be needed for the 
     Naval Postgraduate School to meet such requirements over the 
     period of 5 fiscal years following the date of the report.
     Office of the Chief of Space Operations
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 931A) that 
     would provide technical and conforming amendments to clarify 
     in existing law the function and composition of the Office of 
     the Chief of Space Operations and the general duties of the 
     Chief of Space Operations.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Transfers of military and civilian personnel to the Space 
         Force
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 942) that 
     would prohibit the transfer of any servicemember or civilian 
     employee of the Department of Defense without the consent of 
     the transferred individual and place certain restrictions on 
     such transfers.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Application of acquisition demonstration project to 
         Department of the Air Force employees assigned to 
         acquisition positions within the Space Force
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 946) that 
     would make applicable a demonstration project, relating to 
     certain acquisition personnel policies, to civilian employees 
     of the Department of the Air Force assigned to the Space 
     Force.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees acknowledge that the Space Force requires 
     innovative personnel authorities, but agree the authorities 
     in question are already vested in the Secretary of Defense. 
     The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to utilize 
     these authorities to the maximum extent practical.
     Annual report on establishment of field operating agencies
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 951) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees, not later than January 
     31 of each year, identifying any field operating agency 
     established by the Department of Defense or a component 
     thereof during the preceding calendar year. The report would 
     list: (1) The name of such field operating agency; (2) The 
     agency's location; (3) The title and grade of the head of the 
     agency; (4) The chain of command, supervision, or authority 
     by which the agency head reports to the Office of the 
     Secretary of Defense or the military department concerned; 
     (5) The agency's mission; (6) The number of personnel 
     authorized and assigned to the agency; (7) The purpose 
     underlying the agency's establishment; and (8) Any cost 
     savings or other efficiencies expected to accrue to the 
     Department in connection with the establishment and operation 
     of the agency.
       The Senate intended this provision to substitute for a 
     long-recurring provision of defense appropriations acts, last 
     enacted in section 8041 of the Department of Defense 
     Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-93).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

                      Title X--General Provisions

                     Subtitle A--Financial Matters

     General transfer authority (sec. 1001)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1001) that would 
     allow the Secretary of Defense, with certain limitations, to 
     make transfers between amounts authorized for fiscal year 
     2021 in division A of this Act. This section would limit the 
     total amount transferred under this authority to $4.0 
     billion.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1001).
       The House recedes.
     Budget materials for special operations forces (sec. 1002)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1004) that would 
     modify section 226 of title 10, United States Code, by 
     requiring additional budgetary information related to special 
     operations forces.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Application of Financial Improvement and Audit Remediation 
         Plan to fiscal years following fiscal year 2020 (sec. 
         1003)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1002) that 
     would require the Department of Defense Financial Improvement 
     and Audit Remediation Plan to ensure that an annual audit of 
     the Department's financial statements for each fiscal year 
     after fiscal year 2020 occurs by not later than March 31 
     following such fiscal year.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Incentives for the achievement by the components of the 
         Department of Defense of unqualified audit opinions on 
         the financial statements (sec. 1004)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1003) that 
     would require that the Under Secretary of Defense 
     (Comptroller) develop and issue guidance for personnel and 
     components of the Department of Defense to incentivize the 
     achievement of an unqualified audit opinion.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment clarifying that 
     incentives established under this section would apply to both 
     personnel and components of the Department of Defense, and 
     adds a reporting requirement on such incentives.
     Audit readiness and remediation (sec. 1005)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1005) that would 
     amend the requirements for the Department of Defense audit 
     remediation plan.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit an annual report on unfunded 
     priorities related to audit readiness and remediation not 
     later than 10 days after submission of the annual budget 
     request.
       The conferees are encouraged that the Department of Defense 
     has successfully completed an independent annual financial 
     audit three times in accordance with the Chief Financial 
     Officers Act of 1990. The conferees are also encouraged that 
     a number of organizations within the Department have received

[[Page H6652]]

     an unmodified opinion. However, there are still several 
     organizations that have not received an unmodified opinion. 
     While not required by law, an unmodified opinion on an 
     independent annual financial audit is critical to identifying 
     areas for reform and improving readiness.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to continue 
     to take appropriate steps and apply sufficient resources to 
     build upon the recent excellent progress towards achieving an 
     unmodified opinion on the Department's independent annual 
     financial audit. The conferees believe that this is an 
     important step to earn the Congress' and public's confidence 
     in the Department's ability to be a responsible steward of 
     taxpayer funds.
     Addition of Chief of the National Guard Bureau to the list of 
         officers providing reports of unfunded priorities (sec. 
         1006)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1742) that would 
     add the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to the list of 
     officers required to provide unfunded requirements to the 
     congressional defense committees under section 222a of title 
     10, United States Code.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
     that the Chief of the National Guard Bureau's addition to the 
     list of covered officers is only in that position's capacity 
     and responsibilities as defined in section 10502(c)(1) of 
     title 10, United States Code. The amendment would add 
     restrictions on the new unfunded requirements list, including 
     exclusion of items that have appeared on existing unfunded 
     requirements lists over the past 5 years or those items not 
     exclusively related to the role of non-federalized National 
     Guard forces in support of the homeland defense or civil 
     support missions.
       The conferees strongly urge the Chief of the National Guard 
     Bureau to use this unfunded requirements list judiciously in 
     support of non-warfighting domestic support missions, such as 
     disaster response. While the National Guard's performance in 
     support of such missions represents a significant 
     contribution to broader national security needs, the 
     conferees also note that the U.S. Air National Guard and the 
     U.S. Army National Guard are components of the U.S. Air Force 
     and the U.S. Army and, as such, their nominations of items 
     for unfunded priorities lists are already considered in the 
     unfunded priorities lists submitted by the chiefs of those 
     services.

                   Subtitle B--Counterdrug Activities

     Quarterly reports on Department of Defense support provided 
         to other United States agencies for counterdrug 
         activities and activities to counter transnational 
         organized crime (sec. 1011)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1012) that would 
     amend section 284 of title 10, United States Code, to require 
     the Secretary of Defense to notify specified congressional 
     committees not later than 15 days before providing support 
     for counterdrug activities and activities to counter 
     transnational organized crime under subsection (b) of such 
     section.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 284 of title 10, United States Code to require the 
     Secretary to provide quarterly reports to specified 
     congressional committees on support provided under subsection 
     (b) of such section.

                       Subtitle C--Naval Vessels

     Limitation on availability of certain funds without naval 
         vessels plan and certification (sec. 1021)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1021) that would 
     amend section 231(e) of title 10, United States Code, by 
     restricting 75 percent of certain operation and maintenance 
     funds for the Secretary of Defense until the Annual Naval 
     Vessel Construction Plan has been delivered to the Congress.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     submitter of the Annual Naval Vessel Construction Plan to the 
     Secretary of the Navy and change the funding restriction to 
     75 percent of specified funds not yet obligated or expended 
     as of the date the plan was required to be submitted.
       The conferees are troubled that the Department of Defense 
     has not submitted the Annual Naval Vessel Construction Plan 
     for fiscal year 2021 as required by section 231 of title 10, 
     United States Code, despite repeated requests from the 
     congressional defense committees. Timely submission of this 
     plan is critical for the committees to perform their 
     statutory oversight roles and provide the necessary 
     authorities and resources for the Department of the Navy to 
     meet requirements under the National Defense Strategy. As 
     peer competitors make increased investments in naval capacity 
     and capability, it is critical that the committees receive an 
     accurate and complete report on the Navy's requirements to 
     execute the National Defense Strategy.
       In past years, the Annual Naval Vessel Construction Plan 
     has been submitted by the Department of the Navy, and in 
     general the submission has coincided with the submission of 
     other budget materials as required by law.
       This year, Department of Defense officials stated that they 
     were undertaking their own review of the Navy's long-range 
     shipbuilding requirements, a review that still has not been 
     shared with the Congress, forcing the committees to draft the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 
     without complete awareness of the Navy's long-range 
     shipbuilding requirements. Not only are the conferees 
     concerned with the Department's refusal to comply with a 
     long-standing statutory requirement, the conferees are 
     equally concerned that responsibilities that belong with Navy 
     leadership have been subsumed by the Office of the Secretary 
     of Defense.
       Therefore, this provision would amend section 231 of title 
     10, United States Code, to provide the Secretary of the Navy 
     with the authority and responsibility to develop the Annual 
     Naval Vessel Construction Plan and submit this plan with each 
     fiscal year's budget materials to the Congress.
     Limitations on use of funds in the National Defense Sealift 
         Fund for purchase of foreign constructed vessels (sec. 
         1022)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1022) that would 
     amend section 2218 of title 10, United States Code, by 
     authorizing the purchase of a total of nine used foreign 
     built ships and four used foreign-built ships prior to the 
     Navy initiating an acquisition strategy for a sealift 
     recapitalization plan.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1021).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     anticipated delivery of the lead ship in a new class of U.S.-
     built vessels to be not later than 2028 and make a technical 
     amendment.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy to conduct a 
     business case analysis of acquisition strategies for the new 
     U.S.-built sealift ship program described in section 
     2218(f)(3)(E) of title 10, United States Code, and submit 
     such analysis and the Secretary's intended course of action 
     to the congressional defense committees not later than July 
     1, 2021.
       In conducting this business case analysis, the Secretary 
     shall consider, at a minimum, the following options and 
     associated acquisition strategies: (1) Current Navy 
     acquisition processes for acquiring Combat Logistics Force 
     ships; (2) The use of a commercial executive agent or 
     vessel acquisition manager, similar to the acquisition of 
     the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel; and (3) A 
     commercial-government hybrid acquisition biased toward 
     maximum commerciality in both specifications and process.
     Use of National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund for incrementally 
         funded contracts to provide full funding for Columbia 
         class submarines (sec. 1023)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1023) that would 
     amend section 2218a(h)(1) of title 10, United States Code, by 
     authorizing the use of incremental funding for the full 
     funding of the first two Columbia-class submarines.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     121).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
     funds authorized for the full funding procurement of the 
     Columbia-class program to be obligated or expended for the 
     construction of SSBN-827 in fiscal years 2021, 2022, or 2023 
     and make technical edits.
     Preference for United States vessels in transporting supplies 
         by sea (sec. 1024)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1024) that would 
     amend section 2631 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     increase compliance with military cargo preference 
     requirements.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Restrictions on overhaul, repair, etc. of naval vessels in 
         foreign shipyards (sec. 1025)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1025) that would 
     provide limited exceptions for the repair of Navy vessels in 
     shipyards outside the United States when damage occurred by 
     hostile actions. This section would also provide limited 
     authority for maintenance work to be performed by foreign 
     workers if U.S. personnel cannot perform the work for health 
     or safety reasons.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1022).
       The Senate recedes.
     Biennial report on shipbuilder training and the defense 
         industrial base (sec. 1026)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1026) that would 
     amend chapter 863 of title 10, United States Code, to require 
     the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary 
     of Labor, to submit reports to Congress on the state of 
     defense industrial base training, hiring, and the ability to 
     meet the requirements of the 30-year shipbuilding plan.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     reports to be submitted by the Secretary of the Navy and 
     based on the Navy's most recent Force Structure Assessments.
       Modification of waiver authority on prohibition on use of 
     funds for retirement of certain legacy maritime mine 
     countermeasure platforms (sec. 1027)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1023) that 
     would modify the waiver authority germane to the prohibition 
     on the use of funds for retirement of certain legacy maritime 
     mine countermeasure platforms contained in section 1046 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 
     (Public Law 115-91) to include concurrence by the Director of 
     Operational Test and Evaluation.

[[Page H6653]]

       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Extension of authority for reimbursement of expenses for 
         certain Navy mess operations afloat (sec. 1028)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1024) that 
     would further amend section 1014(b) of the Duncan Hunter 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 
     (Public Law 110-417), as most recently amended by section 
     1023(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), by striking September 30, 
     2020, and inserting September 30, 2025, thereby extending the 
     Secretary of Defense's authority to fund the cost of meals 
     for non-military personnel on U.S. naval and naval auxiliary 
     vessels.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     until 30 days after the date on which the Secretary of 
     Defense has delivered the Integrated Naval Force Structure 
     Assessment to the congressional defense committees.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

         1041)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1031) that 
     would extend until December 31, 2021, the prohibition on the 
     use of funds provided to the Department of Defense to 
     transfer or release individuals detained at United States 
     Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the United States.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1032) that 
     would extend until December 31, 2021, the prohibition on the 
     use of funds provided to the Department of Defense to 
     construct or modify facilities in the United States to house

     prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated or 
     otherwise made available to the Department of Defense, during 
     the period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act 
     and ending on December 31, 2021, to transfer or release 
     individuals detained at United States Naval Station, 
     Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1033).
       The Senate recedes.
     Extension of prohibition on use of funds to close or 
         relinquish control of United States Naval Station,

     also emphasize that such information requirements include, 
     but are not limited to, significant operations, modifications 
     to the fiscal amount or operational or advisory type of 
     support provided, as well as any plans to terminate or 
     transition a partner force supporting U.S. special operations 
     forces in executing counterterrorism missions.
       Therefore, not later than 30 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the conferees direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to develop and brief the congressional defense 
     committees on the processes to be used by the Department to

     such developments outside of formal notifications and 
     specified reporting requirements regarding the use of the 
     authority found in section 127e of title 10, United States 
     Code.

[[Page H6657]]

       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees support the Commandant's Planning Guidance 
     and recognize the potential of the transformational 
     initiatives embodied in this approach. The conferees believe 
     that better Marine Corps integration with the Navy is 
     essential to operating in a denied environment as a stand-in 
     force. The conferees further believe it is essential for the 
     Marine Corps to reduce the overall weight of force elements 
     and return to a more expeditionary, temporal posture that is 
     more agile and decisively lethal.
       To better examine Marine Corps future force structure and 
     Navy integration requirements to support this effort, the 
     conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report 
     to the congressional defense committees not later than March 
     1, 2021, that provides a detailed description of each of the 
     following:

     particularly long-range USVs, in the execution of such 
     Guidance;
       (3) How platforms referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2) 
     interact with ground-based Marine Corps units, including 
     cruise missile units, deployed throughout the Indo-Pacific 
     region;
       (4) The integrated naval command and control architecture 
     required to support the platforms referred to in paragraphs 
     (1), (2) and (3); and
       (5) The projected cost and any additional resources 
     required to deliver the platforms and capabilities described 
     in paragraphs (1) through (4) by not later than 5 years after 
     the date of the enactment of this Act.
       This report shall be submitted in unclassified form but may 
     contain a classified annex. The unclassified report shall be 
     made publicly available.

     platforms by entities designated as foreign terrorist 
     organizations and an assessment of the threat posed to the

       (1) An assessment of the use of online social media 
     platforms by such foreign terrorist organizations for 
     recruitment, fundraising, and the dissemination of 
     information; and
       (2) An assessment of the threat posed to the national 
     security of the United States by the online radicalization.
       The conferees note that the mission of the Global 
     Engagement Center (GEC) of the Department of State is to 
     direct, lead, synchronize, integrate, and coordinate efforts 
     of the Federal Government to recognize, understand, expose, 
     and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and 
     disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing 
     the policies, security, or stability of the United States, 
     its allies, and partner nations. The conferees believe the 
     GEC provides unique insight and capabilities to track and 
     understand the use of social media by terrorist organizations 
     and encourages the Secretary to coordinate closely with the 
     GEC in the preparation of the required report.

     military commission to punish contempt. The provision also 
     would provide that the punishment for contempt may not exceed

     would prohibit the use of amounts authorized to be 
     appropriated by this Act for any program, project, or 
     activity, or for any use of personnel to conduct actions 
     against United States citizens that infringe upon their 
     rights under the First Amendment of the Constitution

     capabilities in effect on the date of the enactment of this 
     Act, or in improved configurations and capabilities, prior to 
     the submission of particular certifications and analysis to 
     the congressional defense committees.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees remain concerned regarding the potential 
     decrease in airborne network communications capacity and 
     capability resulting from the Air Force decision to divest 
     EQ-4B platforms, and the impacts this could have on the 
     geographical combatant commands, specifically U.S. Central 
     Command. Therefore, the conferees expect the Secretary of the 
     Air Force, in coordination with the associated U.S. air 
     component commanders for each relevant geographical combatant 
     command areas of responsibility, to provide equal or greater 
     capability and capacity for battlefield airborne 
     communications and networking, noting the Secretary's planned 
     inventory quantity increases of manned E-11 aircraft systems 
     that was similarly provided by both the unmanned EQ-4B and 
     the E-11A aircraft systems combined.

     requirements of the combatant commanders and the effects on 
     preparedness to provide support to States and Territories in 
     connection with natural disasters, threats, and emergencies. 
     The conferees further note that the Secretary anticipates 
     that this study will be complete in the summer of 2022.

     would also require military promotion boards to treat 
     participation in a public-private talent exchange program 
     as equivalent to attending resident professional military 
     education. Additionally, the provision would require the 
     establishment of a public-private exchange program billet 
     office. The provision would direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to ensure that public-private talent exchange 
     authority is used to exchange personnel with private 
     sector experience working on artificial intelligence 
     applications.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 1599g of title 10, United States Code, to clarify 
     that DOD participants in public-private talent exchange 
     programs may not use knowledge related to DOD acquisition or 
     procurement for the benefit of a participating private-sector 
     organization. The provision would also prohibit private-
     sector participants from performing work that is considered 
     inherently governmental.
       The provision would also require the Secretary of Defense 
     to expand the existing talent exchange program to private 
     sector entities that are working on the various DOD 
     modernization priorities. The Secretary of Defense would also 
     be required to implement a system to identify, mitigate, and 
     manage any conflicts of interest that may arise as a result 
     of an individual participating in a public-private talent 
     exchange. For military personnel participating in a talent 
     exchange program, the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
     with the Secretaries of the military departments, would be 
     required to develop practices that consider participation in 
     a talent exchange program when deciding subsequent military 
     assignments.
       The conferees urge the Secretary of Defense and the 
     Secretaries of the military departments to take steps to 
     ensure that military participation in public-private talent 
     exchange programs is viewed favorably by promotion boards and 
     other competitive selection boards. Additionally, the 
     conferees urge the DOD public-private talent exchange program 
     to leverage the Air Force Education with Industry Program 
     Office to assist in expanding the DOD talent exchange 
     program.
       Lastly, the conferees note that the public-private talent 
     exchange program may be a valuable experience for many 
     different DOD organizations. In particular, the use of these 
     exchange authorities would be valuable to DOD efforts toward 
     building artificial intelligence expertise and capabilities.

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

     Limitation on authority to exclude employees from chapter 71 
         of title 5
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1102) that would 
     prohibit the use of funds to exclude the Department of 
     Defense or any agency thereof from collective bargaining 
     rights in fiscal year 2021.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Limiting the number of local wage areas defined within a pay 
         locality
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1106) that would 
     amend section 5343 of title 5, United States Code, to 
     prohibit the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from 
     defining more than one Federal Wage System (FWS) local wage 
     area within a General Schedule (GS) pay locality.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that OPM is responsible for overseeing 
     the implementation and administration of the FWS in 
     consultation with other agencies, appropriate labor 
     organizations, and the advice of the Federal Prevailing Rate 
     Advisory Committee (FPRAC). Since 2010, the FPRAC has voted 
     three times to recommend that OPM align FWS wage areas with 
     GS locality pay areas across the country. OPM has not 
     implemented these recommendations. The conferees encourage 
     OPM to address this longstanding issue as soon as possible.
     Modification of direct hire authority for certain personnel 
         involved with Department of Defense maintenance 
         activities
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1110) that 
     would amend section 9905 of title 5, United States Code, to

     support functions for depot-level maintenance and repair.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note the Department of Defense already 
     possesses extensive direct hire authority for a variety of 
     civilian personnel positions. Section 9905 of title 5, United 
     States Code, provides general direct hire authority for any 
     position involved with Department maintenance activities and 
     Major Range and Test Facilities Bases. The conferees 
     encourage the Secretary of Defense to utilize fully all 
     available direct hire authority provided by section 9905.
       The conferees emphasize that future requests for additional 
     direct hire authority must be justified by objective data 
     that demonstrates consistent difficulty filling certain 
     vacant positions within a reasonable amount of time.
     Report by Comptroller General of the United States on 
         diversity and inclusion within the civilian workforce of 
         the Department of Defense
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1110B) 
     that would require the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to provide a report to the Congress on issues related 
     to diversity and inclusion within the Department of Defense 
     (DOD).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to provide a report to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on 
     the diversity and inclusion of the civilian workforce of the 
     DOD. The report shall include: (1) A description of the 
     demographic composition of the civilian workforce of the DOD; 
     (2) An assessment of any differences in promotion outcomes 
     among demographic groups of the civilian workforce of the 
     Department; (3) An assessment as to whether the Department 
     has identified barriers to increasing diversity in its 
     civilian workforce; and (4) Any other matters the Comptroller 
     General considers appropriate. The conferees further direct 
     that, not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, the Comptroller General provide a briefing to 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives describing the Comptroller General's 
     preliminary findings, and submit a final report on a date 
     agreed to at the time of the briefing.
     Vacancy of Inspector General positions
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1115) that would 
     amend the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (5 U.S.C. 3345) to 
     require that when there is a vacancy in an Inspector General 
     position that requires appointment by the President, by and 
     with the advice and consent of the Senate, the first 
     assistant to the Inspector General shall perform the 
     functions and duties of the Inspector General temporarily in 
     an acting capacity. If the first assistant is not available 
     to serve, the President would be required to appoint an 
     acting Inspector General from among persons serving in an 
     office of any Inspector General who met particular time in 
     service and pay grade requirements.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     authorized functional areas in which such support may be 
     provided.

       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify 
     section 333 of title 10, United States Code, to add air 
     domain awareness operations and cyberspace security and 
     defensive cyberspace operations to the list of authorized 
     support. The conferees intend the authority for air domain 
     awareness operations to authorize Department of Defense 
     programs to conduct or support training and equipping of 
     foreign national security forces in order to build their 
     capacity to detect, track, and identify threats to

     operations.
       Further, the conferees intend for the authority for 
     cyberspace security operations to authorize Department of

     including platform information technology, as well as the 
     information contained therein, to ensure its availability, 
     integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and 
     nonrepudiation.
       The conferees also intend for the authority for defensive 
     cyberspace operations to authorize Department of Defense

     the ability to utilize cyberspace capabilities and protect 
     data, networks, cyberspace-enabled devices, and other 
     designated systems by defeating on-going or imminent 
     malicious cyberspace activity. The conferees intend for any 
     cyberspace security or defensive cyberspace operation program 
     to build capacity to defend national cyberspace against 
     foreign threats.

     that considers both the needs of the industrial base as well 
     as the excess defense article transfer needs of our foreign

        Subtitle B--Matters Relating to Afghanistan and Pakistan

     Extension and modification of authority for reimbursement of 
         certain coalition nations for support provided to United 
         States military operations (sec. 1211)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1211) that would 
     extend through December 31, 2021, the authority to make 
     Coalition Support Fund payments under section 1233 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 
     (Public Law 110-181) as most recently amended by section 1217 
     of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2020 (Public Law 116-92).
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1211).
       The House recedes.
     Extension of the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa Program (sec. 
         1212)-
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1212) that would 
     extend the Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009 (Public Law 
     111-8) as well as extend an expiring report.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1214).
        The Senate recedes with an amendment to increase the 
     number of special immigrant visas.
        The conferees note that the special immigrant visa program 
     for Afghan allies is critical to the mission in Afghanistan 
     and the long-term interests of the United States. Maintaining 
     a robust special immigrant visa program for Afghan allies is 
     necessary to support United States Government personnel in 
     Afghanistan. Afghan allies routinely risk their lives to 
     assist United States military and diplomatic personnel. 
     Honoring the commitments made to Afghan allies with respect 
     to the special immigrant visa program is essential to 
     ensuring the continued service and safety of such allies, and 
     the willingness of other like-minded individuals to provide 
     similar services in any future contingency.
       The conferees further note that the Afghan Allies 
     Protection Act of 2009 (8 U.S.C. 1101 note) states that all 
     Government-controlled processing of applications for special 
     immigrant visas under that Act should be completed not later 
     than 9 months after the date on which an eligible alien 
     submits all required materials to complete an application for 
     such visa. Any backlog in processing special immigrant visa 
     applications should be addressed as quickly as possible so as 
     to honor the United States commitment to Afghan allies as 
     soon as possible. The failure to process such applications in 
     an expeditious manner puts lives at risk and jeopardizes a 
     critical element of support to United States operations in 
     Afghanistan. To prevent harm to the operations of the United 
     States Government in Afghanistan, the conferees urge the 
     Administration to make additional visas available to 
     principal aliens who are eligible for special immigrant 
     status under that Act.
     Extension and modification of support for reconciliation 
         activities led by the Government of Afghanistan (sec. 
         1213)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1213) that 
     would extend the authorization for the Department of Defense 
     to provide support for Government of Afghanistan-led 
     reconciliation activities. The provision would modify the 
     existing authority in section 1218 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) to 
     require that covered support can only be provided for 
     reconciliation activities that occur in Afghanistan, include 
     the participation of the Government of Afghanistan, and do 
     not restrict the participation of women. The provision would 
     also prohibit Taliban members' receipt of reimbursement for 
     travel or lodging expenses and stipends or per diem payments. 
     Finally, the provision would prohibit the Department from 
     providing covered support until it provides the 
     implementation framework required by section 1218 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2020, due 
     to the Congress on March 19, 2020.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Extension and modification of Commanders' Emergency Response 
         Program (sec. 1214)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1212) that 
     would extend the authorization for the Commanders' Emergency 
     Response Program in Afghanistan through December 31, 2021, 
     would authorize $2.0 million, and would provide a quarterly 
     report on the allocation and use of funds for the program.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Limitation on use of funds to reduce deployment to 
         Afghanistan (sec. 1215)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1213) that would 
     require the Administration to submit a comprehensive, 
     interagency report and certification prior to obligating or 
     expending funds to draw down U.S. military personnel in 
     Afghanistan below troop levels of 8,000 and 4,000. The 
     provision would provide that the Secretary of Defense may 
     waive the funding limitation required by this provision if it 
     is determined to be vital to the national security interests 
     of the United States or necessary due to an imminent and 
     extraordinary threat to members of the United States Armed 
     Forces.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1215).
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would adjust the 
     troop level thresholds, modify certain reporting 
     requirements, and adjust the waiver available to the 
     Secretary of Defense.
       The conferees reaffirm that it is in the national security 
     interests of the United States to deny terrorists safe haven 
     in Afghanistan, protect the United States homeland, uphold 
     the United States partnership with the Government of 
     Afghanistan, and protect the hard-fought gains for the rights 
     of women, girls, and other vulnerable populations in 
     Afghanistan. The conferees note the South Asia strategy 
     emphasizes the importance of a conditions-based United States 
     presence in Afghanistan in support of ongoing diplomatic 
     efforts to secure a peaceful, negotiated solution to the 
     conflict. The conferees further note that any decision to 
     reduce the Armed Forces of the United States in Afghanistan 
     should be done in an orderly manner and in coordination with 
     United States allies and partners and the Government of 
     Afghanistan. Additionally, prior to withdrawal, the United 
     States should seek to secure the release of any United States 
     citizens being held against their will in Afghanistan. The 
     Administration has a constitutional obligation to provide the 
     Congress and the American people with regular, timely, and 
     comprehensive information on the status of security 
     operations and diplomatic efforts in Afghanistan and across 
     the globe.
     Modifications to immunity from seizure under judicial process 
         of cultural objects (sec. 1216)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1215) that would 
     protect from seizure works of art or objects of cultural 
     significance that have been imported from Afghanistan under 
     certain conditions.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment.
     Congressional oversight of United States talks with Taliban 
         officials and Afghanistan's comprehensive peace process 
         (sec. 1217)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1217) that would 
     require the Secretary of State, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of Defense, to submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees materials relevant to the February 
     29, 2020 Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan Between 
     the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by 
     the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban and 
     the United States of America. The provision would also 
     require the Secretary of State to submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees, within 5 days of conclusion and on 
     an ongoing basis thereafter, any future agreement or 
     arrangement involving the Taliban in any manner, as well as 
     materials relevant to any future agreement or arrangement 
     involving the Taliban in any manner. The provision would also 
     include a detailed reporting and briefing requirement.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6211).
       The House recedes with an amendment to strike the briefing 
     requirement and modify elements of the report.
     Strategy for post-conflict engagement on human rights in 
         Afghanistan (sec. 1218)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1216) that would 
     require, not later than 120 days after a final Afghan 
     reconciliation agreement is reached between the Government of 
     Afghanistan and the Taliban, the Secretary of State to submit 
     a strategy for post-conflict engagement by the United States 
     in Afghanistan to support the protection and promotion of 
     basic human rights and the inclusion and empowerment of women 
     and girls in Afghanistan.

     The House bill additionally contained provisions (secs.

     than 90 days after the enactment of this Act, the Secretary 
     of Defense to make publicly available all data pertaining to 
     measures of performance of the Afghan National Defense and 
     Security Forces. The provisions also would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to resume the production of district-
     level stability assessments of Afghan government and 
     insurgent control and influence that were discontinued in 
     2018, to include district, population, and territorial 
     control data.

       The Senate recedes with an amendment to modify the semi-

     Howard P. Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3550) to 
     include reporting on current training and advisory efforts to 
     improve the Government of Afghanistan's capability to 
     minimize civilian casualties and a description of any plans 
     to transition existing U.S. or coalition investigatory 
     mechanisms and reporting channels to the Government of 
     Afghanistan. The amendment also requires the Secretary of 
     Defense to resume the production of district-level 
     stability assessments of Afghan government and insurgent 
     control and influence.

     addressed in multiple provisions elsewhere in this Act.

     extend and modify section 1209 of the Carl Levin and Howard

     Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, Jabhat Fateh al Sham, Hamas,

                 Subtitle D--Matters Relating to Russia

     Extension of limitation on military cooperation between the 
         United States and the Russian Federation (sec. 1231)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1232) that would 
     extend through fiscal year 2021 section 1232(a) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
     (Public Law 114-328), as most recently amended by section 
     1231 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92). This section would limit the 
     use of fiscal year 2021 funds for bilateral military-to-
     military cooperation between the United States and the 
     Russian Federation unless certain waiver conditions are met.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1231).
       The Senate recedes.
     Matters relating to United States participation in the Open 
         Skies Treaty (sec. 1232)
       The House bill contained provisions (sec. 1234 and sec. 
     1237) that would require the Secretary of Defense and the 
     Secretary of State to provide to the congressional defense 
     committees certain notifications relating to prior warning of 
     observation flights conducted under the Open Skies Treaty 
     over states that host United States military forces and 
     assets. If agreements with host nations relating to prior 
     notification of observation flights have been reached, the 
     provisions would require the submission of such agreements to 
     the appropriate congressional committees. The provisions 
     would also require the Secretaries, in coordination with the 
     Director of National Intelligence and the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Intelligence and Security, to provide to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report on the effects 
     of a potential withdrawal of the United States from the 
     Treaty and detail certain required elements for the report.
       The provisions would also express the sense of Congress 
     that withdrawal from the Treaty did not comply with certain 
     requirements for notification enacted in the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92), 
     that the withdrawal was made without asserting material 
     breach of the Treaty, and was made over the objections of 
     partners and allies. The provisions would further express the 
     sense of Congress that confidence- and security-building 
     measures remain vital to the interests of our allies and 
     partners and that international engagement and diplomatic 
     action should be prioritized in response to Russian treaty 
     violations.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     provisions, retain the sense of Congress with some 
     modifications, retain the required notifications from the 
     Secretaries of Defense and State, and retain the report 
     requirement with modifications to certain required elements.
     Prohibition on availability of funds relating to sovereignty 
         of the Russian Federation over Crimea (sec. 1233)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1231) that would 
     prohibit the use of fiscal year 2021 funds to implement any 
     activity that recognizes the sovereignty of Russia over 
     Crimea. This section would also allow the Secretary of 
     Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to 
     waive the prohibition if the Secretary of Defense determines 
     that doing so would be in the national security interest of 
     the United States and submits a notification to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1232).
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Annual report on military and security developments involving 
         the Russian Federation (sec. 1234)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1239) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the

[[Page H6666]]

     National Intelligence and the Secretary of State, to submit 
     to the appropriate congressional committees, not later than 
     120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, a 
     report on all threats to the United States Armed Forces 
     and personnel of the United States from the Russian 
     Federation and associated agents, entities, and proxies.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand and 
     extend the annual report on military and security 
     developments involving the Russian Federation, as previously 
     enacted in section 1245 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), as amended by section 1235 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
     (Public Law 114-328) (the ``Russian Military Power'' report).
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, at the time 
     the report under this section is submitted, to provide a 
     briefing on the Fiscal Year 2021 Russia Military Power Report 
     to the congressional defense committees highlighting any 
     major changes to the disposition of Russian military forces 
     or major improvements to military capabilities as well as any 
     force protection measures required to address efforts by the 
     Russian Federation and associated agents, entities, or 
     proxies to support or encourage attacks against Armed Forces 
     and personnel of the United States engaged in named 
     contingency operations or combat. The conferees encourage the 
     Administration to emphasize to the Government of the Russian 
     Federation that the United States will not tolerate threats 
     to the Armed Forces and military operations of the United 
     States, the allies of the United States, or the diplomats of 
     the United States.
     Modification and extension of Ukraine Security Assistance 
         Initiative (sec. 1235)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1233) that would 
     extend by 1 year section 1250 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), 
     most recently amended by section 1244 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92), 
     to authorize the Secretary of Defense to provide security 
     assistance and intelligence support to the Government of 
     Ukraine, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State. This 
     section would also authorize $250.0 million to carry out this 
     authority in fiscal year 2021.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1233).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     categories of appropriate assistance, broaden the types of 
     reforms intended to decrease corruption, increase 
     accountability, and maintain sustainability of combat 
     capability enabled by such assistance, and make $75.0 million 
     available only for lethal assistance as described in the 
     authority as amended.
       The conferees believe that lethal assistance, including as 
     modified in this provision, contributes to building Ukraine's 
     capability to defend and preserve its sovereignty and 
     enhances Ukraine's role as a regional Black Sea security 
     partner. Furthermore, the Government of Ukraine has 
     demonstrated reliable stewardship and effective employment of 
     more advanced capabilities enabled with U.S. assistance.
       The conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Policy, in coordination with the Director of the Defense 
     Security Cooperation Agency and the U.S. European Command, to 
     brief the congressional defense committees not later than 
     March 15, 2021, on the Department of Defense's planning and 
     capacity to provide lethal assistance to the Government of 
     Ukraine given the current structure of this authority. The 
     briefing shall include: (1) A description of defense articles 
     and services to be provided; (2) Timelines associated with 
     acquisition and delivery of such articles and services; (3) A 
     description of any challenges in meeting execution timelines 
     such as acquisition authority limitations, funding 
     availability and mechanisms, production and delivery 
     schedules, statutory requirements, or other factors, and the 
     steps taken to mitigate such challenges; (4) Items considered 
     for acquisition but not in the plan due to execution timeline 
     concerns; and (5) Any other matter determined relevant by the 
     Under Secretary of Defense.
     Report on capability and capacity requirements of military 
         forces of Ukraine and resource plan for security 
         assistance (sec. 1236)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1299Q-4) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     State to jointly submit to the appropriate committees of the 
     Congress, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, a report on the capability and 
     capacity requirements of the military forces of the 
     Government of Ukraine.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1234).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Report on Russian Federation support of racially and 
         ethnically motivated violent extremists (sec. 1237)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1239) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with 
     the head of any other relevant Federal department or agency, 
     to submit a report to the appropriate congressional 
     committees on Russian support to racially- and ethnically-
     motivated violent extremist groups and networks.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of 
     Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State and 
     in consultation with the head of any other relevant Federal 
     department or agency, to submit jointly a report to the 
     appropriate congressional committees on Russian support to 
     foreign racially- and ethnically-motivated violent extremist 
     groups and networks, consistent with the authorities of the 
     Secretary of Defense and the Director of National 
     Intelligence in this matter. The amendment would also require 
     an assessment of the threat that Russian support to these 
     groups and networks poses to U.S. counterterrorism and 
     national security interests.
       The conferees note that foreign state involvement with 
     racially- and ethnically-motivated violent extremist groups 
     and networks threatens global security. The conferees 
     strongly condemn foreign and domestic racially- and 
     ethnically-motivated violent extremism and support 
     interagency efforts to counter these groups and networks.
     Authorization of rewards for providing information on foreign 
         election interference (sec. 1238)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1299Q-2) that 
     would amend section 36 of the State Department Basic 
     Authorities Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 2708) to authorize the 
     Secretary of State to pay a reward to any individual who 
     furnishes information leading to the identification or 
     location of a foreign person that knowingly engaged or is 
     engaging in foreign election interference. The provision 
     would further define the terms ``foreign person'' and 
     ``foreign election interference'' for purposes of the reward 
     program.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     definition of the term ``foreign election interference.''

            Subtitle E--Matters Relating to Europe and NATO

     Determination and imposition of sanctions with respect to 
         Turkey's acquisition of the S-400 air defense system 
         (sec. 1241)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1292) that would 
     determine that the acquisition by the Government of Turkey of 
     the S-400 air and missile defense system from the Russian 
     Federation shall constitute a significant transaction as 
     described in Section 231 of the Countering America's 
     Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (22 U.S.C. 9525), and 
     require imposition of sanctions within 30 days of the 
     enactment of this Act with certain exceptions. The provision 
     would allow termination of sanctions if the President 
     certifies certain conditions are met.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Clarification and expansion of sanctions relating to 
         construction of Nord Stream 2 or TurkStream pipeline 
         projects (sec. 1242)

     amend subsection (a)(1) of section 7503 of the Protecting 
     Europe's Energy Security Act of 2019 (title LXXV of Public 
     Law 116-92) to clarify and expand sanctions relating to the 
     construction of Nord Stream 2 or Turkstream pipeline 
     projects.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6231).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would allow the 
     President to waive the application of sanctions to a person 
     if the President determines that the waiver would be in the 
     national interests of the United States. The amendment also 
     adds an exception clause and a requirement to consult with 
     certain countries and makes other technical amendments.
     Extension of authority for training for Eastern European 
         national security forces in the course of multilateral 
         exercises (sec. 1243)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1236) that 
     would extend through December 31, 2023, the authority 
     provided in section 1251 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), 
     as amended by section 1247 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Sense of Congress on support for the North Atlantic Treaty 
         Organization (sec. 1244)
       The House bill included a provision (section 1242) that 
     would express the sense of Congress reaffirming the 
     commitment of the United States to the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization (NATO).
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that in addition to 
     reaffirming the commitment of the United States to NATO, 
     would additionally express the sense of Congress on the 
     importance of NATO and need for further cooperation on issues 
     impacting national security.
     Limitation on United States force structure reductions in 
         Germany (sec. 1245)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1241) that would 
     restrict reductions in the

[[Page H6667]]

     levels of military personnel serving on Active Duty stationed 
     in Germany or Europe until certain conditions are met.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that expresses the 
     sense of Congress on the importance of the relationship with 
     Federal Republic of Germany and of the presence of U.S. force 
     structure in Germany. The amendment prohibits the reduction 
     in the number of members of the Armed Forces serving on 
     Active Duty stationed in Germany until 120 days after an 
     assessment is submitted to the appropriate committees of the 
     Congress with certain analyses and descriptions.
     Report on United States military force posture in 
         Southeastern Europe (sec. 1246)
       The House bill included a provision (section 1280) that 
     would, among other things, require a feasibility study of 
     increased rotational deployments to Greece.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit a report that would include an 
     assessment of the value, cost, and feasibility of increased 
     U.S. military presence in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and 
     Black Sea regions, to include assessments of force posture in 
     Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, and other relevant locations.
       The conferees note the importance of increased coherence in 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) alliance posture 
     and capabilities, especially in the Eastern Mediterranean and 
     Black Sea regions. The conferees encourage the Department of 
     Defense, in concert with efforts of NATO allies and partners, 
     to consider options for increasing U.S. presence in the 
     region as part of a more effective posture to promote 
     regional stability, deter Russian aggression, and address 
     Russian and Chinese malign activity.

     would express the sense of the Senate on matters relating to 
     Kosovo and the role of the Kosovo Force of the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.

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

     Pacific Deterrence Initiative (sec. 1251)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1251) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense 
     should pursue an integrated program of activities to reassure 
     partners and prioritize activities in the Indo-Pacific 
     region. The provision would express the sense of Congress 
     that such program should be funded at a base funding level of 
     $3.6 billion in fiscal year 2021. The provision would also 
     require the Secretary of Defense to implement a program, 
     named the Indo-Pacific Reassurance Initiative, that would 
     include a set of objectives and activities in the region. 
     Additionally, the provision would require the Secretary to 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a future years 
     plan on activities and resources of the Initiative.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1251) that would require the Secretary of Defense to carry 
     out the Pacific Deterrence Initiative (PDI) to ensure the 
     effective implementation of the National Defense Strategy 
     with respect to the Indo-Pacific region. The provision would 
     describe the activities to be carried out under the PDI: (1) 
     Activities to increase the lethality of the Joint Force in 
     the Indo-Pacific region; (2) Activities to enhance the design 
     and posture of the Joint Force in the Indo-Pacific region; 
     (3) Activities to strengthen alliances and partnerships; and 
     (4) Activities to carry out a program of exercises, 
     experimentation, and innovation for the Joint Force in the 
     Indo-Pacific region. The provision would authorize $1.4 
     billion to be appropriated for the Secretary to carry out PDI 
     in fiscal year 2021, as specified in the funding table in 
     section 4502, and $5.5 billion for fiscal year 2022.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to carry out the Pacific Deterrence 
     Initiative to prioritize activities in support of enhancing 
     U.S. deterrence and defense posture, reassuring allies and 
     partners, and increasing readiness and capability in the 
     Indo-Pacific region, primarily west of the International Date 
     Line. The provision delineates five purposes or lines of 
     effort and authorizes $2.2 billion in fiscal year 2021. The 
     provision would require the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Commander of Indo-Pacific Command, to 
     deliver annually a report to the Congress that 
     comprehensively describes ongoing and proposed PDI activities 
     in the Indo-Pacific region, including a detailed budget 
     display and subsequent briefings. The conferees believe that 
     the availability of budgetary data organized according to 
     regional missions and the priorities of the combatant 
     commands is critical for the ability of the Department and 
     the Congress to assess the implementation of the National 
     Defense Strategy. Furthermore, a budgetary display is 
     included elsewhere in this Act that captures spending related 
     to the PDI. The conferees encourage the Department of Defense 
     to continue working with the Congress to improve budgetary 
     transparency in support of its oversight responsibilities.
       The conferees appreciate the report submitted by the 
     Commander, Indo-Pacific Command, required by section 1253 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 
     (Public Law 116-92), which included the commander's 
     independent assessment of requirements in the area of 
     operations. Therefore, the conferees direct the Commander, 
     Indo-Pacific Command, to deliver to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives an 
     updated section 1253 briefing covering fiscal year 2022 and 
     the five succeeding fiscal years not later than March 1, 
     2021. Additionally, the conferees direct the chiefs of the 
     military services to deliver a coordinated briefing on the 
     respective services' ongoing contributions to the purposes 
     outlined under PDI and independent assessments of their 
     requirements in the Indo-Pacific region, primarily west of 
     the International Date Line. The briefing by the chiefs of 
     the military services shall be provided to the congressional 
     defense committees not later than April 1, 2021. The 
     conferees strongly urge the Department of Defense to 
     prioritize the Initiative and submit a budget request for 
     fiscal year 2022 that includes additional activities 
     identified as meeting the objectives of the initiative, and 
     believe $5.5 billion is appropriate for the PDI in fiscal 
     year 2022.
       The conferees recognize that the spending levels between 
     base and Overseas Contingency Operations funding in the 
     President's budget for fiscal year 2021 were determined by 
     the Congress in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 (Public Law 
     116-37). However, the conferees remain concerned that several 
     activities identified by the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and the House of Representatives as meeting the 
     definition of the Pacific Deterrence Initiative were funded 
     in the Overseas Contingency Operations budget for fiscal year 
     2021, such as Pacific Defender 2021. The conferees expect the 
     Department of Defense's budget submission for Pacific 
     Deterrence Initiative activities to be fully supported from 
     base budget accounts beginning in fiscal year 2022. The 
     activities necessary to fulfill the purpose of the Initiative 
     are anticipated and ongoing and should be the result of the 
     optimized planning processes that inform the base budget. As 
     with the European Deterrence Initiative, the combatant 
     commanders--along with U.S. allies and partners--require the 
     stability of planning and funding reinforced in those 
     processes.
       The conferees also note that the House Report accompanying 
     H.R. 6395 (H. Rept. 116-442) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 directed the Secretary 
     of Defense to provide a report on the activities and 
     resources necessary to achieve the objectives of the Indo-
     Pacific Reassurance Initiative, including a plan to resource 
     U.S. force posture and capabilities and to identify and 
     assess the required infrastructure, military construction 
     investments, and logistics needs for the region, not later 
     than February 1, 2021. The conferees strongly urge the 
     Department to provide such an infrastructure master plan on 
     time to ensure the congressional defense committees are able 
     to meet their oversight responsibilities and ensure the 
     Department's resource requirements are forward-looking and 
     driven by strategy.

     substantial financial commitments of Japan to the maintenance 
     of United States forces in Japan. The conferees believe it is 
     in the national security interest of the United States that 
     the United States and Japan conclude a new Special Measures 
     Agreement, negotiated based on the principles of mutual 
     respect, equity, and our shared national security interests, 
     prior to the expiration of the current agreement.

     until 180 days after the date that the Secretary of Defense

     States, will not significantly undermine the security of the

     express the sense of Congress that Taiwan is a vital partner

     continue to strengthen defense and security cooperation in

     the congressional defense committees, within 180 days of the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, on a U.S.-Taiwan medical 
     security partnership. The report would include the Department 
     of Defense's assessment of the goals, objectives, and 
     feasibility of establishing such partnership and an 
     evaluation of the two countries' cooperation and 
     collaboration on research and production of vaccines and 
     medicines, joint scientific conferences, exchanges of medical 
     supplies and equipment, and use of U.S. naval hospital ships.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of 
     Health and Human Services, to submit a report to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, within 180 days of the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, on the feasibility of establishing a medical 
     security partnership with the Ministry of Defense of Taiwan.
     Establishment of capabilities to assess the defense 
         technological and industrial bases of China and other 
         foreign adversaries (sec. 1260C)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1255) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract 
     with a federally funded research and development center to 
     conduct a study on the defense industrial base of the 
     People's Republic of China.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     805) that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish 
     a process for assessing foreign industrial bases, to 
     integrate that process with other industrial base analysis 
     activities, and to report to the congressional defense 
     committees on that approach by March 15, 2021.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     requirements of both provisions to establish a continuous 
     assessment activity for industrial bases of foreign 
     adversaries; direct an update on the status of establishing 
     that capability by March 15, 2021; and direct that the first 
     assessment, on China, cover certain additional topics and be 
     submitted by August 1, 2021.
        The Department of Defense's September 2018 report on 
     ``Assessing and Strengthening the Manufacturing and Defense 
     Industrial Base and Supply Chain Resiliency'' identifies 
     industrial policies of competitor nations as one of the five 
     macro forces driving risk into the United States industrial 
     base, noting ``the erosion of parts of our industrial base[] 
     is, in part, attributable to the industrial policies of major 
     trading partners that have created an unfair and non-
     reciprocal trade environment.'' The report also cites China's 
     behavior in particular, to include Chinese economic 
     aggression, as a contributing factor. The conferees remain 
     concerned not only about the United States' overreliance on 
     China for key components of national security capabilities 
     but also about how China's own industrial policy has 
     facilitated this dynamic.
       The conferees note the respective roles for the Defense 
     Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) and the 
     Industrial Policy office outlined in section 2509 of title 
     10, United States Code, as part of a framework for 
     modernizing acquisition processes to ensure the integrity of 
     the industrial base. The conferees acknowledge the increased 
     demands levied on the DCSA and believe that cooperation 
     between these two organizations on this activity will help to 
     anchor a strategic vision for expeditiously identifying and 
     countering evolving threats to the defense industrial base.

         developments involving the People's Republic of China 
         (sec. 1260D)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1299D) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with 
     relevant Federal departments and agencies, to prepare an 
     assessment on the People's Liberation Army of the People's 
     Republic of China's 2035 modernization targets.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     termination date for the reporting requirement in Section 
     1202(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2000 (Public Law 106-65) from January 31, 2021 to 
     January 31, 2022.

         China along the border with India and its growing 
         territorial claims (sec. 1260E)

     that would express the sense of Congress on cross-border

     the growing territorial claims of China.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.

         engaging in industrial espionage and cyber theft (sec. 
         1260F)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1256) that would 
     require, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the President to submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a whole-of-government 
     strategy, in classified and unclassified forms, to impose 
     costs on the People's Republic of China (PRC) or appropriate 
     PRC persons or entities in order to deter industrial 
     espionage and the large-scale theft of personal information 
     conducted by the PRC, PRC persons or entities, or persons or 
     entities acting on behalf of the PRC against the United 
     States or United States persons.

     which the United Front Work Department of the People's 
     Republic of China poses a threat to the national defense and 
     national security of the United States and an evaluation of 
     which actions, if any, the United States should take in 
     response to the threat and activities of the United Front 
     Work Department.

     People's Liberation Army, or identified as a military-civil 
     fusion contributor to the Chinese defense industrial base, 
     engaged in providing commercial services, manufacturing, 
     producing, or exporting, and operating directly or indirectly 
     in the United States. It would also require the Secretary to 
     publish such list in the Federal Register.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Report on directed use of fishing fleets (sec. 1260I)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1265) that would 
     direct the Office of Naval Intelligence to conduct an 
     assessment of fishing fleets as the so-called ``third arm'' 
     of foreign navies, the geopolitical challenge posed by 
     China's hybrid warfare activities, and the national security

     Rules governing the transfer of precision-guided munitions to 
         Israel above the annual restriction (sec. 1275)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6296) that 
     would exempt transfers of precision-guided munitions (PGMs) 
     to Israel from certain requirements under section 514 of the 
     Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2321h).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make 
     technical modifications and direct certain determinations and

     require an assessment and a report on Israeli PGM 
     stockpiles and operational requirements as well as of U.S. 
     stockpiles and operational requirements.
       The conferees recognize the importance of Israel 
     maintaining adequate Israeli PGM stockpiles to support its 
     security needs and urge the Government of Israel to make 
     substantive, recurring investments in acquiring and 
     maintaining an adequate PGM stockpile for their self-defense. 
     The conferees understand that adequate U.S. PGM stockpiles 
     are needed to fulfill a range of U.S. national security 
     objectives, including the execution of critical U.S. military 
     operation plans, and believe that before any transfers of 
     PGMs from U.S. stockpiles are made, the administration must 
     consider the risks and impact to U.S. combat capability and 
     capacity.
       The conferees strongly encourage that any precision-guided 
     munition transfers to Israel, as stated in this section, 
     occur only if they are necessary for Israel to respond to an 
     imminent attack and if Israel's current supply or stockpile 
     of precision-guided munitions does not allow it to 
     appropriately respond to the threat. The conferees expect the 
     administration to take concrete and expeditious steps to 
     mitigate any increased risk to U.S. warfighter requirements 
     of such transfers. The conferees also expect that the 
     administration will consult to the maximum extent practicable 
     at the earliest opportunity with the appropriate 
     congressional foreign policy and defense committees before 
     making transfers of PGMs to any partner or ally.

       The conferees note the importance to national security 
     policymakers of a standardized, comprehensive methodology for 
     measuring the defense-related expenditures and financial 
     levels of effort of the People's Republic of China and the 
     Russian Federation, particularly given the extremely opaque 
     budgeting practices of those countries. The conferees 
     understand the difficulty of this research question and 
     appreciate the attempts made to date by think tanks and 
     federally funded research and development centers to provide 
     further fidelity on the Chinese and Russian defense-related 
     budgets. However, the conferees believe that further work 
     remains necessary to better understand the Chinese and 
     Russian defense-related budgets. Therefore, the conferees 
     strongly urge the Department of Defense to expeditiously 
     initiate its study and to award a contract for the 
     independent study at the earliest opportunity.
     Assessment of weapons of mass destruction terrorism (sec. 
         1299I)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1299J) that 
     would make it the policy of the United States to prevent the 
     acquisition and use of weapons of mass destruction by 
     malicious non-state actors. The provision would also express 
     the sense of Congress that various means of international 
     outreach are essential to the completion of this important 
     mission. The provision would require the President, acting 
     through the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, the 
     Secretary of Energy, and the Director of National 
     Intelligence, to prepare a report on the risks associated 
     with weapons of mass destruction terrorism and provide a 5-
     year strategy for reducing said risks. The provision would 
     further express the sense of Congress that the United States 
     should expand international nuclear security programs as far 
     as practicable. The provision would also require a separate 
     report from the National Academy of Sciences on the 
     prevention of weapons of mass destruction terrorism and 
     authorize to be appropriated an additional $1.0 million for 
     the conduct of such a report. Finally, the provision would 
     require the President to provide a report on all ongoing 
     United States Government cooperative threat reduction 
     programs.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     statement of policy, both senses of Congress, the reporting 
     requirement on weapons of mass destruction terrorism, and the 
     reporting requirement on ongoing cooperative threat reduction 
     programs. The National Academy of Sciences reporting 
     requirement would be retained without the additional funding 
     and with modifications to the timing of said reporting 
     requirement.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Secretaries of Energy and State and in 
     further consultation with the Director of National 
     Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the appropriate 
     congressional committees, no later than June 30, 2021, on 
     efforts to implement the policies described in subsection (a) 
     of the House provision as well as the approximate budget 
     required to implement each such line of effort effectively 
     over the next 5 years.
       The briefing should consider an assessment of nuclear, 
     radiological, biological, and chemical terrorism and foreign 
     state risks and other emerging risks facing the United States 
     and its allies by foreign state, state-affiliated, and non-
     state actors efforts. In particular, the briefing should 
     consider the risk of biological threats, including the 
     proliferation of biological weapons and the risk of 
     accidental release of dangerous pathogens due to unsafe 
     practices and facilities, as well as the risk of 
     uncontrolled, naturally occurring disease outbreaks that may 
     pose a threat to the United States or its Armed Forces or 
     allies. The briefing shall address the status of national 
     efforts to meet obligations to provide effective security and 
     accounting for nuclear weapons and for all weapons-useable 
     nuclear materials in foreign states that possess such weapons 
     and materials.
       The briefing shall propose a strategy to reduce the risk of 
     nuclear, radiological, biological, and chemical terrorism 
     over the next 5 years including a plan to prevent the 
     proliferation of biological weapons, and expertise, which 
     shall include activities that facilitate detection and 
     reporting of highly pathogenic diseases or other diseases 
     that are associated with or that could be used as an early 
     warning mechanism for disease outbreaks.
       The conferees note that the United States, to the extent 
     practicable, should continue to work with international 
     partners to reduce:
       (1) Terrorist organization and other violent non-state 
     actor access to the agents, precursors, and materials needed 
     to produce weapons of mass destruction;
       (2) The number of foreign states that possess weapons of 
     mass destruction; and
       (3) The global quantity of weapons of mass destruction.
     Review of Department of Defense compliance with ``Principles 
         Related to the Protection of Medical Care Provided by 
         Impartial Humanitarian Organizations During Armed 
         Conflicts'' (sec. 1299J)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1297) that would 
     provide a statement of Congress and a statement of policy 
     regarding the protection of medical care provided by 
     impartial humanitarian organizations during armed conflicts. 
     The provision would require

[[Page H6675]]

     the Secretary of Defense, within 60 days of the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, to submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees the results of the review requested 
     on October 3, 2016, by the Secretary of Defense, of 
     compliance of all relevant Department of Defense orders, 
     rules of engagement, directives, policies, practices, and 
     procedures with the ``Principles Related to the Protection of 
     Medical Care Provided by Impartial Humanitarian Organizations 
     During Armed Conflicts.''
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense, within 180 days of the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, to submit to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives any 
     available results of such review requested by the Secretary. 
     The provision would require the Secretary to ensure that all 
     orders, rules of engagement, directives, regulations, 
     policies, practices, and procedures, including any guidance, 
     training, or standard operating procedures, relating to 
     the protection of healthcare during armed conflicts are 
     consistent with the principles referenced above.
     Certification relating to assistance for Guatemala (sec. 
         1299K)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec.1299K) that would 
     require, prior to the transfer of any vehicles by the 
     Department of Defense to a joint task force of the Ministry 
     of Defense or the Ministry of the Interior of Guatemala 
     during fiscal year 2021, the Secretary of Defense to certify 
     to specified congressional committees that such ministries 
     have made a credible commitment to use such equipment only 
     for the uses for which they were intended. The provision 
     would also require, not later than 60 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, in 
     coordination with the Administrator of the Agency for 
     International Development and the Secretary of Defense, as 
     appropriate, to issue regulations related to the recovery of 
     Department of Defense assistance in specified circumstances.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require, 
     prior to the transfer of any vehicles by the Department of 
     Defense to a joint task force of the Ministry of Defense or 
     the Ministry of the Interior of Guatemala during fiscal year 
     2021, the Secretary of Defense to certify to specified 
     congressional committees that such ministries have made a 
     credible commitment to use such equipment only for the uses 
     for which they were intended.
       The conferees urge the Guatemala security forces to 
     continue to emphasize the importance of human rights and 
     adherence to international law. The conferees note that 
     existing law and related policy requires that recipients of 
     Department of Defense assistance use it for the purposes for 
     which the assistance was provided and consistent with human 
     rights and international law. The conferees expect that the 
     Secretary will seek to ensure that any such assistance 
     provided to the Government of Guatemala is compliant with 
     such requirements and the conferees expect that the Secretary 
     will promptly notify the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives of any confirmed 
     misuse of Department of Defense-provided assistance.
       The conferees direct that, not later than 30 days after the 
     date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall 
     provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives on the Department of 
     Defense security cooperation relationship with the Government 
     of Guatemala. The briefing shall address Department of 
     Defense objectives with regards to its security relationship 
     with Guatemala, ongoing efforts by the Department of Defense 
     to strengthen adherence to human rights and international law 
     by Guatemalan national security forces that receive 
     Department of Defense security sector assistance, and a 
     description of any efforts by the Department of Defense to 
     seek to ensure that equipment transferred from the Department 
     of Defense to Guatemalan national security forces use such 
     equipment for the purposes for which they were intended.
     Functional Center for Security Studies in Irregular Warfare 
         (sec. 1299L)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1209) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
     the Secretary of State, to submit a report, not later than 90 
     days after the date of the enactment of this Act, that 
     assesses the merits and feasibility of establishing and 
     administering a Department of Defense Functional Center for 
     Security Studies in Irregular Warfare. Further, not earlier 
     than 30 days after the submission of the required plan and 
     subject to the availability of appropriations, the provision 
     would provide discretionary authority to the Secretary to 
     establish and administer such a center.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make 
     modifications to the elements of the required plan and the 
     authority for the Secretary to establish the Center.
       Consistent with the assessment required by subsection 
     (a)(2)(F), the Secretary may consider the McCain Institute at 
     the Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona as a potential 
     location for the establishment of the Center.
     United States-Israel operations-technology cooperation within 
         the United States-Israel Defense Acquisition Advisory 
         Group (sec. 1299M)
       The Senate amendment contained provisions (secs. 1286 and 
     6286) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to establish 
     a United States-Israel Operations-Technology Working Group to 
     evaluate potential options to develop combined United States-
     Israel plans for cooperative research and development to meet 
     common capability requirements of the Department of Defense 
     and the Ministry of Defense of Israel.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Secretary of Defense, under the United States-Israel Defense 
     Acquisition Advisory Group, to evaluate potential areas of 
     cooperation of mutual benefit between the Department of 
     Defense and the Ministry of Defense of Israel. The amendment 
     would also require an annual report to appropriate committees 
     of the Congress on such evaluations and the resulting 
     recommendations. Finally, it would allow the Secretary of 
     Defense, in consultation with appropriate heads of other 
     Federal agencies, to establish under the vice chairman of the 
     United States-Israel Defense Acquisition Advisory Group a 
     working group on operations technology issues to facilitate 
     such evaluations and recommendations.
     Payment of passport fees for certain individuals (sec. 1299N)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1299) that would 
     amend section 214 of title 22, United States Code, to waive 
     passport fees for the purpose of allowing family members of 
     seriously wounded or ill military personnel stationed 
     overseas to travel and provide aid in the health and welfare 
     of the sick or injured servicemember.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     section 452 of title 37, United States Code, to authorize the 
     Department of Defense to provide reimbursement of or advanced 
     payment for passport and visa fees, as required.
     Resumption of Peace Corps operations (sec. 1299O)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1299F) that 
     would require, not later than 90 days after the enactment of 
     this Act, the Director of the Peace Corps to submit to the 
     Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the 
     Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives 
     a report that describes the efforts of the Peace Corps to:
       (1) Offer a return to service to each Peace Corps volunteer 
     and trainee whose service ended on March 15, 2020 (or 
     earlier, in the cases of volunteers who were serving China 
     and Mongolia), due to the COVID-19 public health emergency;
       (2) Obtain approval from countries, as is safe and 
     appropriate, to return volunteers and trainees to countries 
     of service, predicated on the ability for volunteers and 
     trainees to return safely and legally;
       (3) Provide adequate measures necessary for the safety and 
     health of volunteers and trainees and develop contingency 
     plans in the event overseas operations are disrupted by 
     future COVID-19 outbreaks;
       (4) Develop and maintain a robust volunteer cohort; and
       (5) Identify the need for anticipated additional 
     appropriations or new statutory authorities and changes in

       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Establishment of the Open Technology Fund (sec. 1299P)

     establishment of an Open Technology Fund for the purposes 
     specified in such section.

                   LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED

      Authority to build capacity for air sovereignty operations
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1202) 
     that would modify section 333 of title 10, United States 
     Code, relating to the authority of the Secretary of Defense 
     to conduct or support programs to provide training and 
     equipment to the national security forces of one or more 
     foreign countries by adding air sovereignty operations to the 
     list of authorized functional areas in which such support may 
     be provided.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
        The conferees note that elsewhere in this Act is a 
     provision that would modify section 333 of title 10, United 
     States Code to add air domain awareness operations to the 
     list of authorized support.
      Report on human rights and building partner capacity 
         programs
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1206) that 
     would require, not later than 120 days after the enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Secretary of State, to submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees a report identifying units of 
     national security forces of foreign countries that have 
     participated in programs pursuant to section 333 of title 10, 
     United States Code, during any of fiscal years 2017 through 
     2020 and are subject to United States sanctions relating to 
     gross violations of internationally recognized human rights.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
      Sense of Congress on Peshmerga forces as a partner in 
         Operation Inherent Resolve
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1226) that 
     would express the sense of Congress regarding Peshmerga 
     forces as a partner in Operation Inherent Resolve.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees note that the Peshmerga of the Kurdistan 
     Region of Iraq, as a partner in Operation Inherent Resolve, 
     have made, and continue to make, significant contributions to 
     the security of Northern Iraq by defending nearly 650 miles 
     of critical terrain and conducting operations to degrade, 
     dismantle, and ultimately defeat the Islamic State of Iraq 
     and Syria (ISIS) in Iraq. Although ISIS has been severely 
     degraded, the terrorist group's ideology and combatants still 
     linger and pose a threat of resurgence if regional security 
     is not sustained. A strong Peshmerga and Kurdistan Regional 
     Government is critical to maintaining a stable and tolerant 
     Iraq in which all faiths, sects, and ethnicities are afforded 
     equal protection under the law and full integration into the 
     Government and society of Iraq. Continued security 
     assistance, as appropriate, to the Ministry of Peshmerga 
     Affairs of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq in support of 
     counter-ISIS operations, in coordination with the Government 
     of Iraq, is critical to United States national security 
     interests. Continued United States support to the Peshmerga, 
     coupled with security sector reform in the region, will 
     enable them to partner more effectively with other elements 
     of the Iraqi Security Forces, the United States, and other 
     coalition members to consolidate gains, hold territory, and 
     protect infrastructure from ISIS and its affiliates in an 
     effort to deal a lasting defeat to ISIS and prevent its 
     reemergence in Iraq.
      Report on the threat posed by Iranian-backed militias in 
         Iraq
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1227) that 
     would require, not later than 180 days after the enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of State to submit to the appropriate congressional 
     committees a report on the short- and long-term threats posed 
     by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq to Iraq and to United 
     States persons and interests.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of State, to submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report on the short- 
     and long-term threats posed by Iranian-backed militias in 
     Iraq to Iraq and to United States persons and interests not 
     later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act. The 
     report should include a detailed description of acts of 
     violence and intimidation that Iranian-backed militias in 
     Iraq have committed against Iraqi civilians during the 
     previous 2 years; a detailed description of the threat that 
     Iranian-backed militias in Iraq pose to United States persons 
     in Iraq and in the Middle East, including United States Armed 
     Forces and diplomats; a detailed description of the threat 
     Iranian-backed militias in Iraq pose to United States 
     partners in the region; a detailed description of the role 
     that Iranian-backed militias in Iraq play in Iraq's armed 
     forces and security services, including Iraq's Popular 
     Mobilization Forces; and an assessment of whether and to what 
     extent any Iranian-backed militia in Iraq, or member of such 
     militia, had illicit access to United States-origin defense 
     equipment provided to Iraq since 2014 and the response from 
     the Government of Iraq to each incident.
      Sense of Congress on support for Ukraine
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1235) that 
     would express the sense of Congress reaffirming support for 
     an enduring strategic partnership between the United States 
     and Ukraine, including support for Ukraine's sovereignty and 
     territorial integrity and both lethal and non-lethal security 
     assistance to build resiliency, bolster deterrence against 
     Russia, and promote stability.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees note that continued strong support for 
     Ukraine is reaffirmed elsewhere in this report, including 
     extension and modification of the Ukraine Security Assistance 
     Initiative.
      Sense of Senate on North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
         enhanced opportunities partner status for Ukraine
        The Senate amendment contained provisions (secs. 1235 and 
     6235) that would express the sense of the Senate that the 
     United States should support the designation of Ukraine as an 
     enhanced opportunities partner as part of the Partnership 
     Interoperability Initiative of the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization (NATO).
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
        The conferees note that as of June 2020, Ukraine has 
     achieved enhanced opportunities partner status with NATO, 
     enabling the country to benefit from enhanced access to 
     interoperability programs and exercises, as well as increased 
     sharing of information.
      Report on the threat posed by Iranian-backed militias in 
         Iraq
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1227) that 
     would require, not later than 180 days after the enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of State, to submit to the appropriate 
     congressional committees a report on the short- and long-term 
     threats posed by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq to Iraq and 
     to United States persons and interests.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of State, to submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report on the short- 
     and long-term threats posed by Iranian-backed militias in 
     Iraq to Iraq and to United States persons and interests not 
     later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act. The 
     report shall include a detailed description of acts of 
     violence and intimidation that Iranian-backed militias in 
     Iraq have committed against Iraqi civilians during the 
     previous 2 years; a detailed description of the threat that

     that Iranian-backed militias in Iraq play in Iraq's armed 
     forces and security services, including Iraq's Popular 
     Mobilization Forces; and an assessment of whether, and to 
     what extent, any Iranian-backed militia in Iraq, or member of 
     such militia, had illicit access to United States-origin 
     defense equipment provided to Iraq since 2014 and the 
     response from the Government of Iraq to each incident.
      Report on presence of Russian military forces in other 
         foreign countries
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1236) that 
     would require a report on the presence of Russian forces in 
     foreign countries.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
      Countering Russian and other overseas kleptocracy
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1238) that 
     would establish a program intended to address corruption and 
     kleptocracy in Russia and other foreign governments.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees note that measures to address corruption and 
     kleptocracy in foreign governments are addressed elsewhere in 
     the bill.
      Sense of Senate on strategic competition with the Russian 
         Federation and related activities of the Department of 
         Defense
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1238) 
     that would express the sense of the Senate that long-term 
     strategic competition with the Russian Federation is a 
     principal priority for the Department of Defense that 
     requires sustained investment due to the magnitude of the 
     threat posed to United States security, prosperity, as well 
     as to U.S. alliances and partnerships. The provision would 
     further express the sense of the Senate concerning steps that 
     the Department of Defense should take to enhance deterrence 
     against Russian aggression and counter Russian activities 
     short of armed conflict.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.

[[Page H6677]]

     briefing on measures the Department of Defense is taking to 
     strengthen defense cooperation with allies and partners in 
     the Black Sea region, including the Government of the

     partners and allies around the world play in deterring 
     aggression and defeating malign actors, especially in an era 
     of resurgent strategic competition. The conferees believe

     forward presence, joint bilateral and multilateral exercises, 
     enhanced interoperability, and commitments that contribute to 
     the security of the United States as well as collective 
     security. Additionally, the conferees urge allies and 
     partners to continue to increase their investments in 
     military capacity and capability to enhance their ability to 
     contribute to global peace and security and urge the U.S. 
     Government to adopt a comprehensive approach in evaluating 
     U.S. security relationships with allies and partners. The 
     conferees believe the U.S. must continue to strengthen its 
     alliances and security partnerships.

     security and significant impact of the military capabilities

     enduring, and forward-looking partnership of the United 
     States and the Republic of Singapore, and the permanent 
     establishment of a fighter detachment in Guam will enhance 
     the interoperability of the air forces of the United States 
     and the Republic of Singapore and provide training 
     opportunities needed to maximize their readiness.
        The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, not later 
     than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, to

     long-range anti-ship cruise missile system would meet shared 
     defense requirements of the United States and Japan and, if 
     so, that the United States and Japan should consider co-
     development of such a system.

     as well as measures required to mitigate such risk posed by 
     the current or intended use of a 5G telecommunications 
     architecture provided by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
        The conferees note the importance of the assessment of the 
     risk to personnel, equipment, and operations of the 
     Department of Defense in host countries, as well as measures 
     required to mitigate such risk posed by telecommunications 
     architecture provided by at-risk vendors such as Huawei and 
     ZTE, is addressed elsewhere in this report.

        The House recedes.
        The conferees note that the United States-Israel

        The House recedes.
        The conferees believe that enhancing partnerships between

     shared interests and values, including a strong commitment to 
     the rule of law and human rights, as well as addressing 
     security concerns like transnational organized crime and 
     disaster preparedness. In furtherance of these and other 
     shared interests, the United States should pursue 
     opportunities to strengthen its engagement in the Caribbean 
     region consistent with the objectives of the 2018 National 
     Defense Strategy and the Department of State's Caribbean 2020 
     Strategy. The conferees believe that these efforts should

     and interoperability, advancing trade and investment, 
     academic exchanges, and other cooperative efforts between the 
     United States and the Caribbean region.

     its findings.

         as a result of military operations in Somalia

[[Page H6679]]

     ability of the Somali National Army, the African Union 
     Mission in Somalia, the U.S. military, and U.S. contractors 
     to prevent, mitigate, and respond to instances of civilian 
     harm as a result of military operations to counter al-Shabaab 
     and ISIS-Somalia.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees understand that there may be challenges to 
     the ability of the Somali people to report allegations of 
     civilian harm resulting from military operations. The 
     conferees note that section 936 of the John S. McCain 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
     (Public Law 115-232) requires the development of publicly 
     available means for the submittal to the United States 
     Government of allegations of civilian casualties resulting 
     from United States military operations. The conferees expect 
     the Department of Defense to continuously evaluate and 
     improve current measures and practices to help remove 
     challenges to reporting such allegations in Somalia and other 
     countries where challenges may exist.
      Improved coordination of United States sanctions policy
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1287)

        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
        The conferees note that this provision is incorporated 
     elsewhere in this Act.
      Sense of Congress relating to Grand Ethiopian Renaissance 
         Dam
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1288) that 
     would express the sense of Congress relating to the Grand 
     Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
      Report on all comprehensive sanctions imposed on foreign 
         governments

        The House recedes.
      Limitation on assistance to Brazil
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1290) that 
     would establish a limitation that no Federal funds may be 
     obligated or expended to provide any United States security 
     assistance or security cooperation to the defense, security, 
     or police forces of the Government of Brazil to involuntarily 
     relocate, including through coercion or the use of force, the 
     indigenous or Quilombola communities in Brazil.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees note the important strategic security 
     relationship between the United States and Brazil and note 
     that the Government of Brazil was designated as a major non-
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization ally in July 2019. The 
     conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to seek 
     opportunities to further strengthen the security relationship 
     with Brazil. The conferees understand that there are concerns 
     regarding the potential relocation of certain indigenous 
     groups within Brazil. The conferees note that existing law 
     and Department of Defense policy require that the provision 
     of Department of Defense security sector assistance be 
     consistent with adherence to human rights and international 
     law. The conferees expect that the Secretary will seek to 
     ensure that any security assistance provided to Brazil will 
     be in compliance with such laws and policies.
      Report on incidents of arbitrary detention, violence, and 
         state-sanctioned harassment by the Government of Egypt 
         against United States citizens and their family members 
         who are not United States citizens
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1293) that 
     would require, not later than 60 days after the enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of Defense, to submit a report on incidents of 
     arbitrary detention, violence, and state-sanctioned 
     harassment by the Government of Egypt against United States 
     citizens and their family members who are not United States 
     citizens, in both Egypt and in the United States.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees are aware of instances of arbitrary 
     detention, violence, and harassment against United States 
     citizens and their family members who are not United States 
     citizens. These actions are deeply disturbing, and undermine 
     the U.S.-Egyptian relationship.
      Protection and promotion of internationally recognized human 
         rights during the novel coronavirus pandemic
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1296) that 
     would promulgate a statement of policy and a sense of 
     Congress regarding the novel coronavirus pandemic. The 
     provision would require the Secretary of State to submit to 
     the Congress a report on countering disinformation abroad 
     related to the pandemic and a report on countries that 
     enacted emergency measures or took other legal actions 
     inconsistent with internationally recognized human rights in 
     response to the pandemic. The provision would also amend

     violations of internationally recognized human rights during 
     the pandemic in determinations by the United States to engage 
     in security assistance cooperation with that nation. Further, 
     the provision would require the Secretary of Defense to issue 
     guidance that security cooperation programs and intelligence 
     collection include indicators that partner security forces 
     have taken advantage of the pandemic to violate 
     internationally recognized human rights. Finally, the 
     provision would amend the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to 
     insert reporting requirements regarding human rights 
     violations due to misuse of emergency powers and surveillance 
     technology.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

     Colombian peace accords and address shared regional security 
     challenges.
        The conferees note with concern allegations of unlawful 
     surveillance or intelligence gathering by the Colombian Armed 
     Forces. The conferees encourage the Government of Colombia to 
     continue to investigate credible allegations of misuse and 
     take corrective actions, as appropriate, to ensure any misuse 
     does not occur in the future. The conferees note that 
     existing law requires that the provision of Department of 
     Defense security sector assistance include programs focused 
     on strengthening institutional capacity, to include adherence

     provided assistance intended to build the surveillance 
     capabilities of the Colombian Armed Forces that was 
     subsequently used by the Colombian Armed Forces to conduct 
     unlawful surveillance or intelligence gathering. The report 
     shall include a description of any steps taken by the 
     Department in response to such credible allegations, to 
     include any steps taken to seek to ensure that any misuse 
     does not occur in the future. The report shall also include 
     information on steps taken by the Government of Colombia in 
     response to any credible evidence of misuse of such 
     equipment, including a description of steps taken to hold 
     those responsible accountable, ensure that any misuse does 
     not occur in the future, and any modifications to relevant 
     tactics, techniques, and procedures. The report shall be

     brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives, the Committee on Foreign Relations 
     of the

[[Page H6680]]

     Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives on the contents of the report and provide an 
     update to the political, economic, health, and humanitarian 
     crisis in Venezuela and the implications for United States 
     national security and regional security and stability. The 
     brief shall also include an assessment of how the 
     multifaceted crisis in Venezuela and the resulting migration 
     of millions of citizens from Venezuela to neighboring 
     countries, including Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, 
     affects regional security and stability.

     Atomic Energy Agency nor has already implemented a civilian 
     nuclear cooperation agreement under section 123 of the Atomic 
     Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2153). The provision would 
     allow the waiving of this prohibition in the event that the

     influence is promoted through the use of social media, 
     propaganda, disinformation, cyber operations, foreign 
     assistance, and the expansion of coercive economic ties. The 
     conferees note that this malign influence is intended to 
     impede progress towards greater integration with Western 
     institutions such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     and the European Union. Finally, the conferees urge the

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     Sense of Congress regarding biological threat reduction and 
         cooperative biological engagement of the cooperative 
         threat reduction program
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1302) that would 
     express the sense of Congress that biological threats are a 
     critical emerging threat; continuing to use cooperative 
     threat reduction programs to counter these threats is in the 
     national security interest of the United States; and the 
     Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State should make 
     every effort to prioritize and advance these processes in the 
     future.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that:
       (1) Keeping Americans safe means ensuring that global 
     health security is prioritized as a national security issue;
       (2) As highlighted by the 2017 National Security Strategy 
     of the United States, biological threats, whether 
     ``deliberate attack, accident, or a natural outbreak,'' are 
     growing threats and ``require actions to address them at 
     their source'' through programs carried out by cooperative 
     engagement, such as working ``with partners to ensure that 
     laboratories that handle dangerous pathogens have in place 
     safety and security measures;''
       (3) The 2017 National Security Strategy of the United 
     States appropriately affirms the importance of supporting 
     advancements in biomedical innovation while mitigating harm 
     caused by advanced bioweapons and capabilities;
       (4) The intrinsically linked nature of biological threats, 
     whether naturally occurring, accidental, or deliberate, 
     underscores the relationship between the Global Health 
     Security Strategy of the United States and the National 
     Biodefense Strategy, and the national security tools used to 
     prevent and mitigate these threats must be similarly 
     connected;
       (5) Biological threats are a critical emerging threat 
     against the United States and addressing these threats 
     through cooperative programs is an opportunity to achieve 
     long-standing nonproliferation goals;
       (6) Cooperative programs to address biological threats 
     through improved global capacity in the areas of biosafety, 
     biosecurity, bio-surveillance, research oversight, and 
     related legislative and regulatory frameworks have become 
     even more important as the world faces increasing 
     availability of and advancements in biotechnology, which has 
     broad dual use and proliferation implications;
       (7) Under the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program of the 
     Department of Defense established under the Department of 
     Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction Act (50 U.S.C. 3701 et 
     seq.), the Congress authorized the Secretary of Defense to 
     address such threats through activities to prevent, detect, 
     and report on highly pathogenic diseases or other diseases, 
     ``regardless of whether such diseases are caused by 
     biological weapons;''
       (8) In 2014, President Obama declared the Ebola virus 
     disease epidemic a national security priority and exercised 
     the authority under such Program to build capacity that 
     mitigated the imminent threat posed by the Ebola virus 
     disease and established capabilities required to prevent 
     future outbreaks;
       (9) Many of the prevention, detection, and response 
     capacities built in response to the Ebola virus disease 
     epidemic are also those used to prevent, detect, and respond 
     to the use of biological weapons abroad;
       (10) Continuing to use cooperative engagement programs is 
     in the national security interests of the United States 
     because of the important relationships established between 
     the United States and partner countries, which are based on 
     ideals such as transparency, information sharing, and a 
     shared responsibility in advancing global security;
       (11) The recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global 
     pandemic has illustrated the dire consequences resulting from 
     a single disease that knows no boundaries, impacting the 
     United States economy and the health of United States 
     citizens and members of the Armed Forces, both domestically 
     and abroad;
       (12) In light of the impacts caused by COVID-19, and 
     following two congressionally-mandated reports that call for 
     better implementation of the biological cooperative 
     engagement programs of the United States and the National 
     Biodefense Strategy (the report published by the Government 
     Accountability Office on March 11, 2020, titled ``National 
     Biodefense Strategy: Opportunities and Challenges with Early 
     Implementation'' and the report published by the National 
     Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on April 14, 
     2020, titled ``A Strategic Vision for Biological Threat 
     Reduction: The U.S. Department of Defense and Beyond''), it 
     is of utmost importance that such programs are given due and 
     increased prioritization for national security purposes; and
       (13) The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State 
     should make every effort to prioritize and advance the 
     determination, concurrence, and notification processes under 
     the Department of Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction Act to 
     provide for necessary new country determinations in a timely 
     manner and be responsive to emerging biological threats.

     nationally recognized civilian accrediting organization, in 
     accordance with section 1511(g) of such Act, on a frequency 
     consistent with the standards of the organization. The 
     provision would require the COO and the administrator of a 
     facility under inspection to make, in a timely manner, all 
     staff, other personnel, and facility records available to the 
     civilian accrediting organization for purposes of the 
     inspection. Not later than 60 days after an inspection, the 
     COO would submit a report to the Secretary of Defense, the 
     Senior Medical Advisor, and the Advisory Council containing 
     the results of the inspection and a plan to address 
     recommendations or other matters specified in the report. The 
     provision would remove the requirement for a periodic 
     inspection of the retirement home's facilities by the 
     Department of Defense Inspector General.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     Report on transitioning funding
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1522) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to include in the 
     congressional budget justification for fiscal year 2022 a 
     description of all activities and programs authorized and 
     appropriated as Overseas Contingency Operations funding in 
     fiscal year 2021, along with a plan to transition all such 
     activities and program to the base defense budget.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees remain concerned that the Department of 
     Defense has not transmitted to Congress a detailed plan to 
     budget for overseas contingency operations, including 
     proposed rules to govern the inclusion of activities and 
     programs in overseas contingency-related funding and planning 
     considerations related to transitioning overseas contingency-
     related funding back into the base budget. With the statutory 
     restrictions of the Budget Control Act set to expire after 
     fiscal year 2021, the conferees expect the Department of 
     Defense to transmit to Congress a new set of proposed 
     governing principles for overseas contingency-related 
     funding. Therefore, the conferees direct the Under Secretary 
     of Defense (Comptroller) to deliver a briefing to the 
     congressional defense committees no later than February 1, 
     2021 to discuss the future governing principles of overseas 
     contingency-related funding in the fiscal year 2022 budget.
     Transition and enhancement of inspector general authorities 
         for Afghanistan reconstruction
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1532) that 
     would provide for the transition of all duties, 
     responsibilities, and authorities of the Special Inspector 
     General for Afghanistan Reconstruction to the lead Inspector 
     General for Operation Freedom's Sentinel.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

   Title XVI--Space Activities, Strategic Programs, and Intelligence 
                                Matters

                      Subtitle A--Space Activities

     Space Development Agency development requirements and 
         transfer to Space Force (sec. 1601)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1606) that 
     would require the Director of the Space Development Agency to 
     lead the development of a proliferated low-Earth orbit 
     sensing, tracking, and data transport architecture and the 
     integration of next-generation space capabilities (including 
     a hypersonic and ballistic missile-tracking space sensor 
     payload) into such an architecture. The provision would also 
     require the transfer of the Space Development Agency from the 
     Office of the Secretary of Defense to the United States Space 
     Force not later than October 1, 2022.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would codify the 
     requirement to transfer the Space Development Agency to the 
     Space Force by October 1, 2022, as well as certain 
     authorities, roles, and responsibilities of the Agency.
       The conferees understand the value of the establishment of 
     a Space Development Agency (SDA) within the Department of 
     Defense to address emerging threats, leverage new commercial 
     architectures, and provide innovative solutions. The 
     conferees expect the Space Development Agency to develop and 
     preserve an independent culture of innovation and rapid 
     acquisition that is separate and distinct from the more 
     traditional space acquisition within the U.S. Space Force and 
     the Department of the Air Force. The conferees also expect 
     the SDA Director to retain his current hiring authorities, 
     including with respect to hiring highly qualified experts, 
     remain the original classification authority for SDA, and to 
     retain the equivalent position of tier 3 Senior Executive 
     Service or of an officer of the Armed Forces in grade O-9.
       In addition, the conferees also direct the Secretary of 
     Defense to provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
     committees not later than March 15, 2021 on how the 
     Department is coordinating the warfighter requirements and 
     capabilities across the Space Development Agency, the Air 
     Force, the U.S. Space Command, and the U.S. Strategic Command 
     for the missile warning layer. Such a review shall also 
     include how the implementation of the missile warning and 
     tracking layer (including the hypersonic and ballistic 
     tracking space sensor and the Wide-Field-Of-View sensors) is 
     being coordinated with the Overhead Persistent Infrared 
     program, and how duplication between planned systems and the 
     need for resilience are being considered when evaluating the 
     requirements for Air Force space programs.
     Personnel management authority for Space Development Agency 
         for experts in science and engineering (sec. 1602)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1610A) that 
     would amend section 1599h of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize special personnel management authorities related to 
     appointment and compensation for certain civilian positions 
     of the Space Development Agency.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would terminate 
     the Space Development Agency civilian personnel management 
     authority on December 31, 2025.
     Requirement to buy certain satellite components from national 
         technology and industrial base (sec. 1603)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1602) that would 
     require the procurement of star trackers for certain national 
     security satellites from the national technology and 
     industrial base.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     813) that would require the use of domestically sourced star 
     trackers in national security satellites. The provision would 
     also include certain conditions under which the requirement 
     could be waived.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
     coordination with the Secretary of the Air Force and the 
     Director of National Reconnaissance Office, to submit to the 
     congressional defense and intelligence committees, not later 
     than July 1, 2021, a report on implementation of this 
     provision, including whether and how the waiver authority 
     will be used. In addition, the report shall include an 
     analysis of potential impacts on domestic suppliers of star 
     trackers (including prices, capabilities and production 
     capacity), national security satellite manufacturers, mission 
     capability for these satellites, satellite costs, bus 
     production lines and testing, the likelihood of competition, 
     and potential impacts on relations with U.S. allies and 
     partners.
        The conferees also note that another provision in this Act 
     also modifies section 2534(a) of title 10, United States 
     Code.
     Conforming amendments relating to reestablishment of Space 
         Command (sec. 1604)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1605) that 
     would make certain conforming amendments to sections of 
     United States Code to reflect the reestablishment of United 
     States Space Command.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Clarification of authority for procurement of commercial 
         satellite communications services (sec. 1605)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 924) that would 
     make the Chief of Space Operations responsible for the 
     procurement of commercial satellite communications services 
     for the Department of Defense.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     944) that would make the Secretary of the Air Force 
     responsible for the procurement of commercial satellite 
     communications services for the Department of Defense.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
       The conferees note that section 1601(b) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 
     115-91) transferred authority for the procurement of 
     commercial satellite communication (COMSATCOM) services for 
     the Department of Defense from the Director of the Defense 
     Information Systems Agency to the Commander of Air Force 
     Space Command in order to improve the acquisition of 
     COMSATCOM and better integrate the delivery of SATCOM 
     services to the warfighter. The conferees expect the Chief of 
     Space Operations and subsequently the Service Acquisition 
     Executive for Space Systems and Programs to continue to 
     procure these services in an efficient and effective manner.
     National Security Space Launch program (sec. 1606)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1601) that would 
     prohibit changes to the phase 2 acquisition strategy of the 
     National Security Space Launch program, including with regard 
     to mission performance requirements, acquisition schedule, 
     and the selection of two launch providers. It would also 
     mandate that the period for ordering phase 2 launch missions 
     end by September 2024, cap the Launch Services Agreement 
     funding amount for providers selected for phase 2, and 
     require a termination date for Launch Services Agreements 
     with providers not selected for phase 2.
       The provision would also require a certification on 
     reusability of previously-flown launch hardware. In addition, 
     this section would require the Secretary to begin investments 
     toward phase 3 to maintain competition and support innovation 
     by providing up to $150.0 million for the Secretary to 
     conduct a full and open competition and enter into three 
     agreements to fund certification and infrastructure 
     requirements and transformational technologies. The provision 
     would also include a rule of construction about not delaying 
     phase 2 awards.
       The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (secs. 
     1602 and 1603) that would require the Secretary of the Air 
     Force to begin

[[Page H6684]]

     a program to develop technologies and systems to enhance 
     phase 3 of the National Security Space Launch requirements 
     and enable further advances in launch capabilities for 
     national security payloads. The provision would limit 
     projects initiated under the program to a duration of no more 
     than 3 years and an expense of not more than $250.0 million.
       The provisions would also require the Secretary of Defense, 
     no later than 540 days after the selection of launch 
     providers for phase 2 of the National Security Space Launch 
     acquisition, to complete nonrecurring design validation of 
     previously flown launch hardware for providers offering such 
     hardware for use in the phase 2 acquisition or other national 
     security space missions.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
     the Secretary of the Air Force from obligating or expending 
     more on launch service agreements than what is appropriated 
     unless the Secretary uses established procedures to reprogram 
     or transfer additional funds. Additionally, the provision 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, not later than 18 
     months after the selection of launch providers for phase 2 of 
     the National Security Space Launch acquisition, to complete 
     nonrecurring design validation of previously flown launch 
     hardware for providers offering such hardware for use in the 
     phase 2 acquisition and complete a report on the progress of 
     the study not later than 210 days after selecting the phase 2 
     providers.
       The conferees expect phase 2 awards to end in fiscal year 
     2024, to support launches through 2027, and to begin phase 3 
     awards in fiscal year 2025 per the Air Force plan. The 
     conferees also expect the Secretary of the Air Force to 
     provide the briefings required in this provision to the 
     Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House 
     Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Finally, the 
     provision would establish funding for technology development 
     for certification, infrastructure, and innovation. The 
     conferees highly encourage the Secretary of the Air Force to 
     enter into at least three agreements with potential National 
     Security Space Launch providers.
     Commercial space domain awareness capabilities (sec. 1607)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1603) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Air Force to award at least two 
     contracts for commercial space domain awareness services not 
     later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act. 
     The provision would also limit the obligation or expenditure 
     of funds for enterprise space battle management command and 
     control to no more than 75 percent of funds authorized to be 
     appropriated for fiscal year 2021 until the Secretary 
     certifies to the congressional defense committees that they 
     have awarded the required contracts. The provision would also 
     require the Chief of Space Operations to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees an unclassified report on 
     all commercial space domain awareness services purchased in 
     the previous 2 years.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Policy to ensure launch of small-class payloads (sec. 1608)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1605) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to establish a small launch 
     and satellite policy to ensure responsive and reliable access 
     to space through the processing and launch of Department of 
     Defense small-class payloads. The provision would detail 
     certain requirements for the policy and require the 
     development and implementation of an acquisition strategy. 
     The provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit a report to the congressional defense committees 
     describing a plan for the required policy.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.

         Council; limitation on availability of funds relating to 
         such updates (sec. 1631)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1645) that 
     would alter the section of United States Code governing the 
     Nuclear Weapons Council to include automatic limitations on 
     the obligation and expenditure of funds by the Office of the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment in 
     the event that the Council fails to provide to the Congress 
     semiannual updates on the meetings of the Council by the 
     dates established in law.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     effect of the provision to those funds authorized to be 
     appropriated for fiscal year 2021 and limit the restriction 
     on obligation or expenditure of funds to the Office of the 
     Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical, and

     Role of Nuclear Weapons Council with respect to performance 
         requirements and budget for nuclear weapons programs 
         (sec. 1632)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1641) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Energy to 
     use appropriate interagency processes during the development 
     of budget materials of the Department of Defense and the 
     National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), and to do so 
     not later than the third quarter of the fiscal year preceding 
     the budget request. This section would further require a 
     report describing any transfers made to the NNSA and 
     certifying that such transfers were developed in the manner 
     described in this provision.
       The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (secs. 
     1651, 1652, and 3111) that would modify Nuclear Weapons 
     Council (NWC) roles and responsibilities as they relate to 
     the National Nuclear Security Administration, nuclear weapons 
     programs requirements, and the development of the annual 
     nuclear weapons budget.
       The provisions would provide to the NWC the authority to 
     review proposed capabilities and validate requirements for 
     nuclear weapons programs.
       The provisions would also clarify the role of the NWC in 
     the planning, programming, budgeting, and execution process 
     of the NNSA, including by specifying NWC participation at 
     each stage of the budget process.
       The provisions would also make further changes to the 
     budget preparation process of the NNSA. First, the Secretary 
     of Energy would be required to transmit the proposed budget 
     request of the NNSA to the NWC before the request is 
     submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The 
     NWC would then review the NNSA budget proposal and determine 
     whether it is adequate to implement Department of Defense 
     (DOD) nuclear weapons objectives. The NWC would submit back 
     to the Secretary of Energy either confirmation of adequacy of 
     the budget proposal or a written description of funding 
     levels and specific initiatives required to make the budget 
     request adequate to implement those objectives.
       If the NWC determines that the budget request is inadequate 
     and submits such written description, the Secretary of Energy 
     would be required to include this description of the funding 
     levels and specific initiatives in the proposed budget 
     submitted to the OMB. The Secretary would include in the 
     submission an annex containing a description of changes made 
     to the proposed NNSA budget through this process. The 
     Secretary would also be required to submit that annex to the 
     Congress along with the President's Budget request.
       Finally, the Secretary would be required to transmit the 
     complete proposed budget submission to the NWC at the same 
     time as it is submitted to the OMB. After reviewing the 
     submission, the NWC would be required to determine whether it 
     contains the funding levels and initiatives described above 
     and to submit to the Congress either a certification that the 
     budget request is adequate to meet DOD objectives or a 
     statement that it is not.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     provisions in sections 1651 and 3111 of the Senate amendment, 
     and strike section 1652 of the Senate amendment.
     Modification of Government Accountability Office review of 
         annual reports on nuclear weapons enterprise (sec. 1633)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1653) that 
     would revise the required timing for annual Government 
     Accountability Office reviews of reports submitted pursuant 
     to section 492(a)(c) of title 10, United States Code.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Independent study on nuclear weapons programs of certain 
         foreign countries (sec. 1634)

     require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract 
     with a federally funded research and development center to 
     produce an open source analysis of foreign nuclear programs, 
     to be made publicly available. The provision would also 
     extend a requirement for the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, to 
     produce a report on foreign and U.S. nuclear weapons 
     capabilities.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     timeline of the report to be prepared by the federally funded 
     research and development center and include Iran, to the 
     extent applicable, in the list of foreign countries covered 
     in the report to be prepared by the Secretary and the 
     Director.
     Prohibition on reduction of the intercontinental ballistic 
         missiles of the United States (sec. 1635)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1654) 
     that would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of fiscal 
     year 2021 funds to reduce deployed United States 
     intercontinental ballistic missiles' responsiveness, alert 
     level, or quantity to fewer than 400. The provision would 
     provide an exception to this prohibition for activities 
     related to maintenance and sustainment and activities to 
     ensure safety, security, or reliability.

                  Subtitle D--Missile Defense Programs

     Alignment of the Missile Defense Agency within the Department 
         of Defense (sec. 1641)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1655) that would 
     make certain findings related to the activities of the 
     Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and express the sense of 
     Congress that once the independent review required in the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 
     (Public Law 116-92) is complete, the Secretary of Defense 
     should reassess the alignment of the Agency within the 
     Department of Defense (DOD). The provision would also require 
     the Secretary to provide to the congressional defense 
     committees a report on the risks and benefits of, as well as 
     the actions required by, such a realignment.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1666) that would repeal the requirement for any particular 
     reporting structure for the Missile Defense Agency.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     findings, repeal the requirement for a specific reporting 
     structure for the Missile Defense Agency, and require the 
     Secretary of Defense to satisfy certain conditions, including 
     a 60-day wait period, before modifying DOD Directive 5134.09. 
     The amendment would also include a review by the Comptroller 
     General of the United States of the compliance of the 
     Secretary of Defense with certain requirements of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 
     regarding MDA and non-standard acquisition processes, and 
     improvements and benefits of changes proposed to missile 
     defense unique acquisition authorities.
       The conferees understand the need to update the current DOD 
     directive 5134.09 to address fact-of-life changes to 
     organizational structures within the Department of Defense. 
     Further, the conferees support codifying best practices for 
     missile defense acquisition, and increasing oversight of 
     critical efforts to address missile defense combatant 
     commander requirements. For the Congress to conduct its 
     oversight duties on Department of Defense efforts with regard 
     to missile defense, the conferees encourage the Department of 
     Defense to maintain open communication with the congressional 
     defense committees as changes are made to overall missile 
     defense acquisition and requirements authorities, 
     responsibilities, and oversight.
     Extension of prohibition relating to missile defense 
         information and systems (sec. 1642)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1663) that 
     would extend by 5 years a prohibition on the transfer of 
     certain missile defense technologies and telemetry data to 
     the Russian Federation, as well as the integration of missile 
     defense systems with those of the Russian Federation or the 
     People's Republic of China.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Extension of transition of ballistic missile defense programs 
         to military departments (sec. 1643)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1652) that would 
     delay for 2 years the deadline established in the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 
     115-91) for the Missile Defense Agency to transfer 
     responsibility for mature missile defense programs to the 
     military departments.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Extension of requirement for Comptroller General review and 
         assessment of missile defense acquisition programs (sec. 
         1644)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1651) that would 
     extend by 5 years the annual Comptroller General of the 
     United States review of Missile Defense Agency acquisition 
     programs. The provision would also increase the scope of the 
     review by including emergent issues relating to the subject 
     matter in either the reports prepared under the section or in 
     separate briefings to the congressional defense committees.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1665).
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Development of hypersonic and ballistic missile tracking 
         space sensor payload (sec. 1645)
       The House bill contained provisions (sec. 1653 and sec. 
     1654) that would find that the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) 
     is required to develop the Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking 
     Space Sensor (HBTSS) payload by law and that the President's 
     Budget request for fiscal year 2021 did not include funding 
     for the Missile Defense Agency to continue such activities. 
     The provisions would express the sense of Congress that 
     regardless of the overall architecture, the Director of MDA 
     is responsible for the material development of the HBTSS 
     payload. The provisions would also limit the expenditure or 
     obligation of more than 50 percent of funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by this Act for fiscal year 2021 for the 
     operations and maintenance of the Space Development Agency 
     (SDA) until the Secretary of Defense certifies to the 
     Congress that they have assigned the Director of the Missile 
     Defense Agency principal responsibility for the development 
     and deployment of the HBTSS payload.
       The provisions would further find and express the sense of 
     Congress that HBTSS is underfunded and should be prioritized 
     within the architecture of SDA. The provisions would also 
     require an annual certification from the Secretary of 
     Defense, without delegation, that the most recent future 
     years defense program adequately resources the development 
     and deployment of the HBTSS payload and that the Commander of 
     United States Space Command has validated both the ballistic- 
     and hypersonic-tracking elements of the program requirements.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1662) that would require the Secretary of Defense to assign 
     primary responsibility for the development and deployment of 
     a HBTSS payload to the Director of MDA through the end of 
     fiscal year 2022. It would also require the Secretary to 
     determine whether responsibility for the development and 
     deployment of a HBTSS payload should transition to the 
     United States Space Force after fiscal year 2022 and, if 
     such a determination is made, submit a transition plan 
     along with the determination.
       The provision would require the Under Secretary of Defense 
     (Comptroller) and the Director, Cost Assessment and Program 
     Evaluation, to submit a certification with the fiscal year 
     2022 budget request as to whether the HBTSS program is 
     sufficiently funded in the future years defense program and 
     would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of more than 50 
     percent of funds authorized to be appropriated for travel of 
     the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
     Engineering until that certification is submitted.
       The provision would further require the Director of MDA to 
     begin on-orbit testing of a HBTSS payload not later than 
     December 31, 2022. Finally, the provision would require the 
     Chair of the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) to 
     submit to the congressional defense committees an assessment 
     of whether the various Department of Defense efforts for 
     space-based sensing and tracking are aligned with JROC-
     validated requirements.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     determination regarding the transition of HBTSS to the Space 
     Force into a plan for integrating the MDA-developed payload 
     into existing architectures of SDA and the Space Force, delay 
     the date for required on-orbit testing of the payload until 
     2023, include the limitation on the use of funds, strike the 
     report by the JROC, and include the annual certification of 
     sufficient resourcing and valid requirements.
     Ground-based midcourse defense interim capability (sec. 1646)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1667) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the threat to the 
     United States of ballistic missile attack by rogue nations is 
     increasing and that an interim ballistic missile defense 
     capability should be pursued by the Department of Defense. 
     The provision would require the Secretary of Defense, acting 
     through several relevant officials within the Department of 
     Defense, to develop and deploy such an interim missile 
     defense capability no later than 2026. The provision would 
     specify certain capabilities to be included in such a system 
     and would allow the Secretary of Defense to waive the 
     requirement for development and deployment in certain 
     circumstances. The provision would also require the Director 
     of the Missile Defense Agency to include in the budget 
     justification materials for the fiscal year 2022 budget a 
     report on the funding profile necessary for such an interim 
     capability. The House bill contained no similar provision. 
     The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     sense of Congress, make development subject to 
     appropriations, include the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Research and Engineering on the list of relevant officials, 
     include an additional grounds for waiving the requirement, 
     and prohibit the delegation of waiver and certification 
     authority to below an Under Secretary of Defense.
     Next generation interceptors (sec. 1647)
       The House bill contained provisions (secs. 1657 and 1658) 
     that would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency 
     (MDA) to notify the congressional defense committees should 
     any changes be made to requirements of the next generation 
     interceptor program and would require a briefing not later 
     than 14 days following any contract award on the next 
     generation interceptor. The provisions would also require the 
     Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Director of 
     MDA, the Commander of U.S. Northern Command, and the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Policy, to submit a report on the 
     ground-based midcourse defense program.
       The provisions would also express the sense of Congress 
     that the Secretary of Defense should ensure robust oversight 
     and accountability for the next generation interceptor 
     program to avoid similar errors that led to the cancellation 
     of the redesigned kill vehicle program. The provisions would 
     further require the Director of Cost Assessment and Program 
     Evaluation (CAPE) to conduct an independent cost assessment 
     of the next generation interceptor program and require that 
     the preliminary cost assessment inform the contract award for 
     the next generation interceptor and be provided to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than the date of 
     the contract award. Finally, the provisions would prohibit 
     MDA from making an initial production decision for the next 
     generation interceptor until two successful flight tests have 
     been conducted.

       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     two provisions, strike the report on the ground-based 
     midcourse defense system, as it is addressed elsewhere in 
     this Act, and strike the findings and sense of Congress 
     relating to the redesigned kill vehicle program. The 
     amendment would also modify the requirement for an 
     independent CAPE assessment to give the Director of MDA, the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, 
     and the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
     Engineering access to preliminary findings of the assessment 
     to inform the development of the next generation interceptor 
     and provide technical edits.
     Report on and limitation on availability of funds for layered 
         homeland missile defense system (sec. 1648)

     require the Director of Cost Assessment and Program 
     Evaluation to conduct an analysis of alternatives for the 
     layered homeland defense architecture using the regional 
     terminal high altitude area defense system and the Aegis 
     ballistic missile defense system. The provision would detail 
     certain requirements for the analysis of alternatives and 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to provide to the 
     congressional defense committees this analysis and a 
     certification that the supporting analysis is sufficient. The 
     provision would also require the Director of the Defense 
     Intelligence Agency (DIA), as well as such other elements of 
     the Intelligence Community as appropriate, to provide to the 
     congressional defense committees an assessment of likely 
     near-peer and rogue state perceptions of such a defense 
     system, along with their likely responses.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1664) that would require the Director of the Missile Defense 
     Agency (MDA) to provide to the congressional defense

     certain requirements for said report. The provision would 
     also prohibit the obligation or expenditure by MDA of more 
     than 50 percent of the funds authorized to be appropriated by 
     this Act for fiscal year 2021 for the purposes of a layered 
     homeland missile defense system until the Director provides 
     the required report to the congressional defense committees. 
     The House recedes with an amendment that would add several 
     requirements to the report and modify several existing ones. 
     The amendment would also include the requirement for a DIA 
     assessment of near-peer and rogue state perceptions of and 
     reactions to the deployment of such a defense system.

     Sense of the Senate on nuclear cooperation between the United 
         States and the United Kingdom
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1655) that 
     would express the sense of the Senate on nuclear cooperation 
     between the United States and the United Kingdom.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that:
        (1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) 
     continues to play an essential role in the national security 
     of the United States and the independent nuclear deterrents 
     of other NATO members, such as the United Kingdom, have 
     helped underwrite peace and security;
       (2) The nuclear programs of the United States and the 
     United Kingdom have enjoyed significant collaborative 
     benefits as a result of the cooperative relationship 
     formalized in the Agreement for Cooperation on the Uses of 
     Atomic Energy for Mutual Defense Purposes, signed at 
     Washington July 3, 1958, and entered into force August 4, 
     1958 (9 UST 1028), between the United States and the United 
     Kingdom (commonly referred to as the ''Mutual Defense 
     Agreement'');
       (3) The unique partnership between the United States and 
     the United Kingdom has enhanced sovereign military and 
     scientific capabilities, strengthened bilateral ties, and 
     shared costs, particularly on such programs as the Trident II 
     D5 weapon system and the common missile compartment for the 
     future Dreadnought and Columbia classes of submarines;
       (4) Additionally, the extension of the nuclear deterrence 
     commitments of the United Kingdom to members of the NATO 
     alliance strengthens collective security while reducing the 
     burden placed on United States nuclear forces to deter 
     potential adversaries and assure allies of the United States 
     and the United Kingdom;
       (5) As the international security environment deteriorates 
     and potential adversaries expand and enhance their nuclear 
     forces, the extended deterrence commitments of the United 
     Kingdom play an increasingly important role in supporting the 
     security interests of the United States and allies of the 
     United States and the United Kingdom;
       (6) It is in the national security interest of the United 
     States to support the United Kingdom with respect to the 
     decision of the Government of the United Kingdom to maintain 
     its nuclear deterrent until global security conditions 
     warrant its elimination;
       (7) As the United States must modernize its aging nuclear 
     forces to ensure its ability to continue to field a nuclear 
     deterrent that is safe, secure, and effective, the United 
     Kingdom faces a similar challenge;
       (8) Bilateral cooperation on the parallel development of 
     the W93/Mk7 warhead of the United States and the replacement 
     warhead of the United Kingdom, as well as associated 
     components, will allow the United States and the United 
     Kingdom to responsibly address challenges within their legacy 
     nuclear forces in a cost-effective manner that:
       (a) preserves independent, sovereign control;
       (b) is consistent with each country's obligations under the 
     Treaty on the Non- Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at 
     Washington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968, (21 UST 483) 
     (commonly referred to as the ''Nuclear Non-Proliferation 
     Treaty''); and
       (c) supports nonproliferation objectives; and
       (9) Continued cooperation between the nuclear programs of 
     United States and the United Kingdom, including through the 
     W93/Mk7 program, is essential to ensuring that the NATO 
     alliance continues to be supported by credible nuclear forces 
     capable of preserving peace, preventing coercion, and 
     deterring aggression.

     the Principal Cyber Advisor as responsible for coordination 
     of all policies and programs germane to defense industrial 
     base cybersecurity, and would direct the Secretary of Defense 
     to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the complete set of 
     roles and responsibilities of the Department in implementing 
     Presidential Policy Directive 21 and report within 180 days 
     of enactment of this Act.
       The conferees note that the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that 
     the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy had not fulfilled 
     its sector specific agency planning responsibilities for 
     National Infrastructure Preparedness under Presidential 
     Policy Directive 21. This led to confusion and delays in 
     determining how to mitigate risks to the defense industrial 
     base. Although not technically responsible to do so under the 
     Department's aforementioned formal roles and 
     responsibilities, the astute attention of the Under Secretary 
     of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment was successful in 
     mitigating the delays and in getting the defense industrial 
     base back to work. The conferees emphasize the importance of 
     a coherent approach, and strongly

     consultation requirements for the preparation of the 
     assessment.
     Assessment on defense industrial base participation in a 
         threat information sharing program (sec. 1737)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1632) that would 
     prohibit the Secretary of Defense from entering or renewing a 
     contract with an entity in the defense industrial base that 
     is not a participant in a threat intelligence sharing 
     program, either operated by the Department of Defense or a 
     comparably widely utilized threat intelligence sharing 
     program.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1631) that would require the Secretary of Defense to 
     establish a threat intelligence sharing program to share 
     threat intelligence with and obtain threat intelligence from 
     the defense industrial base. Such a program: (1) Could be

     of Defense would not be permitted to enter into, renew, or 
     extend contracts with entities in the defense industrial base 
     that are not in compliance with the Threat Hunting Program 
     established in this section.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1632) that would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct 
     an assessment of the adequacy of threat hunting elements of 
     the Cyber Maturity Model Certification program and the need 
     for continuous threat monitoring operations. The provision 
     would also require the Secretary to brief the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     on the assessment's findings no later than February 1, 2022.
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make a 
     range of modifications to the House provision to require an 
     assessment of the feasibility and suitability of such a 
     threat hunting program with implementation contingent on a 
     positive determination by the Secretary of Defense.

       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would include the 
     Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of 
     the Senate (HSGAC) and the Committee on Oversight and Reform 
     of the House of Representatives (COR) on the list of 
     recipients for the joint certification. The amendment would 
     also require a briefing by the Secretary and the 
     Administrator to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives, HSGAC, and COR on 
     the relationship established between the Department of 
     Defense and the United States Digital Service pursuant to 
     this provision.
     Matters concerning the College of Information and Cyberspace 
         and limitation of funding for National Defense University 
         (sec. 1741)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1636) that would 
     limit the obligation and expenditure of funds for the

     thoroughly reviewing and determining the requirements for 
     cyber education both as a component of the Joint Professional 
     Military Education curriculum and for overall cyber education 
     requirements for the cyber workforce.
       The conferees also note that section 2165 of title 10, 
     United States Code, establishes the CIC in law as a 
     constituent institution of the NDU and that any action to 
     eliminate, subsume into another college, or institutionally 
     diminish the CIC requires a change in law.
     Department of Defense cyber hygiene and Cybersecurity 
         Maturity Model Certification framework (sec. 1742)
        The House bill contained two provisions (sec. 1640 and 
     sec. 1640E) that would require the Secretary of Defense to 
     provide to the congressional defense committees a detailed

     prepare a report on the cyber hygiene practices of the 
     Department relative to the Cyber Maturity Model Certification 
     (CMMC) framework and submit said report to the congressional 
     defense committees and the Government Accountability Office 
     for review by the Comptroller General of the United States.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     two provisions, modify the initial Secretary of Defense 
     report by specifying the responsible parties, and require an 
     assessment of each Department of Defense component against 
     CMMC requirements. The amendment would also change the report 
     on the implementation of certain cybersecurity 
     recommendations into a briefing, alter certain requirements 
     of said briefing, and impose a limitation on the use of funds 
     authorized to be appropriated by this Act until the Under 
     Secretary for Acquisition and Sustainment provides to the 
     congressional defense committees a plan to implement the CMMC 
     via requirements in procurement contracts.
     Extension of sunset for pilot program on regional 
         cybersecurity training center for the Army National Guard 
         (sec. 1743)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1640B) that 
     would extend through August 31, 2022, a pilot program for the 
     regional provision of cybersecurity training to members of 
     the Army National Guard.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

     certain required elements including exercise content,

[[Page H6694]]

     participants, planning, and associated briefings.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would include the 
     Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence on 
     the list of offices required to coordinate in the conduct of 
     the exercise. The amendment would also include a requirement 
     for specific plans for each scheduled exercise to be 
     submitted to the Congress prior to execution.
       The conferees note that while, as the Cyberspace Solarium 
     Commission originally recommended, the exercise is intended 
     to be a tabletop exercise, the conferees defer to the 
     executive branch to convene an exercise that would be most 
     effective for its purposes. The conferees expect that if the 
     scope or scale of the exercise exceeds that of a tabletop 
     exercise, relevant departments and agencies will engage the 
     appropriate congressional committees early and often to gain 
     and ensure appropriate support.
     Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency review (sec. 
         1745)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1675) that would 
     require the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure 
     Security Agency (CISA) of the Department of Homeland Security 
     to conduct a review of the ability of CISA to carry out its 
     mission requirements and implement certain recommendations of 
     the U.S. Cyberspace Solarium Commission Report. The provision 
     details certain requirements for the review and requires the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security to provide a report on the 
     results of the review to the Committee on Homeland Security 
     of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland 
     Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate. The 
     provision would further require the Director of CISA to 
     provide the report to the Administrator of the General 
     Services Administration for independent review.
       The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (sec. 
     5245 and sec. 5246) that would require similar reviews and 
     assessments with the General Services Administration review 
     occurring independently of the CISA review.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     list of recipients for the report on the General Services 
     Administration review.

     baseline review of the Joint Regional Security Stacks (JRSS) 
     activity to determine whether the activity should proceed as 
     a program of record or be phased out across the Department of 
     Defense. The Secretary would be required to provide the 
     congressional defense committees with the findings of the 
     baseline review and, depending on the determination of the 
     Secretary, either a plan to transition JRSS to a program of 
     record or a plan to replace JRSS. The provision would also 
     prohibit the operational deployment and fielding of JRSS on 
     the Secret Internet Protocol Network and the use of funds 
     authorized to be appropriated by this Act for such actions.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.

    Title XVIII--Transfer and Reorganization of Defense Acquisition 
                                Statutes

     Transfer and reorganization of defense acquisition statutes 
         (secs. 1801-1885)
       The conference agreement includes a title that would 
     transfer and reorganize certain defense acquisition statutes 
     and direct the Secretary of Defense to conduct a 
     comprehensive assessment and implementation plan of the 
     transfer and reorganization contained in this title.
       The conferees note that the Advisory Panel on Streamlining 
     and Codifying Acquisition Regulations, established by the 
     Congress under section 809 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for 2016 (Public Law 114-92), recommended 
     as part of its work in June 2018 that the Congress transfer 
     and consolidate certain defense acquisition statutes in title 
     10, United States Code, concluding that, ``Organizing the 
     defense acquisition statutes into a restructured, 
     rationalized form would reduce the overcrowding, reflect more 
     clearly the underlying structure of these statutes, and 
     provide substantial benefits in terms of a structure that is 
     more intuitive and easier to navigate. This effort would be 
     especially beneficial for the thousands of attorneys across 
     the Department of Defense who advise commanders, program 
     managers, and contracting officers on acquisition 
     authorities. Confusing notes and cumbersome statutory 
     structure can create a barrier to entry for innovative firms 
     unfamiliar with the federal acquisition process, firms DoD 
     seeks to leverage to ensure technological dominance and 
     enhanced lethality across the joint force inside the curve of 
     near-peer competitors and nonstate actors.''
       The conferees appreciate the work of the Panel and observe 
     that a transfer and reorganization is an ambitious and 
     complex undertaking that sets the conditions for future 
     reform. The conferees have engaged in the undertaking with a 
     commitment to the principle that a restructuring not result 
     in policy changes. The conferees note the intention of the 1-
     year enactment delay is to provide time for the Department 
     and for other stakeholders to identify adjustments and 
     specific and actionable recommendations to address them. 
     Further, the conferees note the implementation delay is 
     intended to provide the Department a reasonable amount of 
     time to make necessary administrative updates to implement 
     the transfer and reorganization. The conferees therefore 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure the assessment and 
     implementation plan directed by this section are sufficiently 
     comprehensive to facilitate the conferees' consideration of 
     appropriate and timely adjustments in the future.

            DIVISION B--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATIONS

     Summary and explanation of funding tables
       Division B of this Act authorizes funding for military 
     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 in base closure rounds. The tables 
     contained in this Act provide the project-level 
     authorizations for the military construction funding 
     authorized in Division B of this Act and summarize that 
     funding by account.
       The conferees continue to believe in the value and 
     appropriateness of providing a full authorization but 
     incremental authorization of appropriations for certain 
     military construction projects. The conferees believe 
     incremental funding of large and complex military 
     construction projects enable the Department to execute 
     additional infrastructure projects in a fiscal year, enables 
     continuous congressional oversight, serves to reduce the 
     $24.6 billion unobligated MILCON balance, and provides 
     opportunities to adjust the authorization of appropriations 
     level for projects should issues arise or requirements change 
     over the course of construction. In instances where the 
     conference agreement provides full authorization but 
     incremental authorization of appropriations for certain 
     military construction projects, the committee expects the 
     Department to award these projects in the year of 
     authorization and not defer award until the full 
     appropriation amount is received.
     Short title (sec. 2001)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2001) that would 
     cite division B of this Act as the ``Military Construction 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.''
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     2001).
       The conference 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 and title XXIX of this Act shall expire on October 1, 
     2023, or the date of the enactment of an Act authorizing 
     funds for military construction for fiscal year 2024, 
     whichever is later.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     2002).
       The Senate recedes.
     Effective date (sec. 2003)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2003) that would 
     provide that titles XXI through XXVII and XXIX of this Act 
     would take effect on October 1, 2020, or the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, whichever is later.
       The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     2003).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.

                 Title XXI--Army Military Construction

     Summary
       The budget request included $650,336,000 for Army military 
     construction and $486,542,000 for Army family housing for 
     fiscal year 2021. The conference agreement includes 
     authorization of appropriations of $880,076,000 for Army 
     military construction and $512,542,000 for Army family 
     housing in fiscal year 2021.
       The agreement includes authorization and authorization of 
     appropriations for eight military construction projects that 
     were not included in the budget request but were submitted to 
     the congressional defense committees as part of the Army's 
     unfunded requirements list. These projects include: 
     $65.0 million for a Child Development Center at the 
     Aliamanu Military Reservation, Hawaii; $59.0 million for 
     Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing at Fort 
     Wainwright, Alaska; $55.0 million for a Child Development 
     Center at Fort Wainwright, Alaska; $46.0 million for an 
     Ammunition Holding Facility at Marine Ocean Terminal 
     Concord, California; $39.0 million for a Child Development 
     Center at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii; $10.2 million for an 
     Access Control Point at Casmera Renato Dal Din, Italy; 
     $8.0 million for Planning & Design in support of JIATF-
     South Operations Center, Florida; and $7.0 million 
     associated with the cost to complete the Trainee Barracks 
     Complex 3, Phase 2 at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.
       The agreement provides for incremental authorization of 
     appropriations in an amount equal to the Department's ability 
     to execute in the year of the authorization of appropriations 
     for the General Instruction Building, Increment 2 at Carlisle 
     Barracks, Pennsylvania.
       The agreement provides an increase in the authorization of 
     appropriations for certain programs included in the Army's 
     budget request for military construction and family housing 
     in fiscal year 2021. These programmatic increases include:
       (1) $26.0 million for Housing Privatization Support in the 
     Army's Family Housing Operation and Maintenance account. 
     These additional funds are intended to continue the 
     improvement of Military Housing Privatization Initiative 
     oversight through the hiring of additional civilian 
     personnel;
       (2) $25.0 million for Army Family Housing Maintenance to 
     address environmental hazards at Government-owned military 
     family housing; and
       (3) $18.0 million for unspecified minor military 
     construction.
        Finally, the agreement includes a reduction in the 
     authorization of appropriations for certain programs 
     contained in the budget request submitted by the Army for 
     military construction and family housing in fiscal year 2021. 
     These reductions are:
       (1) $65.0 million for planning and design at unspecified 
     worldwide locations. The conferees believe that the 
     Department of the Army cannot fully expend the requested 
     funding in fiscal year 2021, and therefore the agreement 
     includes an authorization of $64.4 million, a reduction of 
     $65.0 million, for this program; and
       (2) $25.0 million for Army Family Housing Maintenance for 
     general officer quarters. The conferees support the 
     authorization of appropriations in an amount equivalent to 
     the ability of the Department to execute in the year of the 
     authorization for appropriations. For this project, the 
     conferees note that the Army is engaged in ongoing 
     negotiations with the American Council for Historic 
     Preservation on materials and renovation techniques for these 
     historic properties that may impact the timeline and cost of 
     renovating these homes. Therefore, the agreement includes an 
     authorization of $97.8 million, which includes a reduction of 
     $25.0 million for maintenance of general officer quarters.
     Authorized Army construction and land acquisition projects 
         (sec. 2101)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2101) that would 
     authorize military construction projects for the active 
     component of the Army for fiscal year 2021. The authorized 
     amount is listed on an installation-by-installation basis.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

     million for the first increment of the B-21 2-Bay LO 
     Restoration Facility at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South 
     Dakota; and $7.5 million in support of Planning & Design 
     associated with Indo-Pacific Command Posture Initiatives.
       The agreement provides for incremental authorization of 
     appropriations in an amount equal to the Department's ability 
     to execute in the year of the authorization of appropriations 
     for the following projects: Weapons Storage & Maintenance 
     Facility, Increment 2 at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana; 
     and Fuel Tanks with Pipeline & Hydrant System, Increment 2 at 
     Tinian, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
        The agreement includes an increased authorization and 
     authorization of appropriations for two projects for which 
     the Air Force submitted revised cost estimates after 
     submission of the budget request for fiscal year 2021. These 
     projects include: Parking Apron, Increment 2 at Tinian, 
     Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands; and Airfield 
     Development Phase 1, Increment 2 at Tinian, Commonwealth of 
     the Northern Mariana Islands.
       The agreement provides an increased authorization of 
     appropriations of $9.0 million for Housing Privatization in 
     the Air Force's Family Housing Operation and Maintenance 
     account. These additional funds are intended to continue the 
     improvement of Military Housing Privatization Initiative 
     oversight through the hiring of additional civilian 
     personnel.
        Finally, the agreement provides for a reduction in the 
     authorization of appropriations for planning and design at 
     unspecified worldwide locations. The conferees believe that 
     the Air Force cannot fully expend the requested funding in 
     fiscal year 2021 nor is the request supported by the military 
     construction projects forecasted in the future years defense 
     program. Therefore, the conference agreement provides an 
     authorization of $116.5 million, a reduction of $180.0 
     million, for this program. The conferees note that this 
     amount also reflects authority contained elsewhere in the 
     conference agreement for the Air Force to spend up to $15.0 
     million for the purpose of obtaining or carrying out 
     necessary planning and construction design associated with 
     military construction projects and other infrastructure

     the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent weapon system.

       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment that would 
     strike the underlying provision and instead repeal section 
     2830 of title 10, United States Code.
     Expenditure priorities in using Department of Defense Family 
         Housing Improvement Fund (sec. 2813)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2811) that would 
     amend section 2883 of title 10, United States Code, by 
     increasing the priority of funding to Military Housing 
     Privatization Initiative recapitalization accounts and 
     ensuring that private partners are not paid first when they 
     mismanage projects at the expense of the reinvestment

       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.

         performance metrics for contracts for provision or 
         management of privatized military housing (sec. 2814)

     authorize the Secretaries concerned to display, at a military 
     museum, recognition for an individual or organization that 
     contributes money to a nonprofit entity for the benefit of a

       The Senate recedes with an amendment.
     Promotion of energy resilience and energy security in 
         privatized utility systems (sec. 2823)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2822) that would 
     amend section 2688 of title 10, United States Code, to limit 
     renewal of utility privatization contracts to the last 5 
     years of the existing contract term. It also contained a 
     provision (sec. 2825) that would amend section 2914 of title 
     10, United States Code, to clarify that Energy Resilience and 
     Conservation Investment Program (ERCIP) funding may be used 
     at military installations with privatized utilities.
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2841) that 
     would allow ERCIP projects to be executed on installations 
     with utilities privatization (UP).
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense and many 
     military installations have already leveraged or plan to 
     leverage UP to achieve cost savings and benefit from 
     commercial best practices. However, because ERCIP is military 
     construction, currently it can only occur in conjunction with 
     utility systems owned solely by the Department of Defense. In 
     order to remove this obstacle and ensure that the Department 
     can improve energy security on all of its installations, this 
     provision would authorize the Department to pair ERCIP and 
     UP.
       The conferees further note that Energy Savings Performance 
     Contracts (ESPCs) are an essential tool to enable the 
     Department to meet its energy savings objectives. While this 
     section will enable the use of ERCIP funding in conjunction 
     with ESPCs, the conferees remind the Department that section 
     8287 of title 42, United States Code, authorizes Federal 
     agencies to enter into ESPCs solely for the purpose of 
     achieving energy savings and benefits ancillary to that 
     purpose. Nothing in this section is intended to change the 
     statutory purpose of ESPCs.
     Vesting exercise of discretion with Secretaries of the 
         military departments regarding entering into longer-term 
         contracts for utility services (sec. 2824)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2823) that would 
     modify section 2688 of title 10, United States Code, to allow 
     military departments to enter into utilities privatization 
     contracts under certain circumstances.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Use of on-site energy production to promote military 
         installation energy resilience and energy security (sec. 
         2825)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2824) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to carry out at least four 
     energy projects for the purpose of promoting certain energy 
     resilience and energy security goals.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Improved electrical metering of Department of Defense 
         infrastructure supporting critical missions (sec. 2826)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2828) that would 
     require the Department of Defense to improve its electrical 
     metering of infrastructure supporting critical missions.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Improving water management and security on military 
         installations (sec. 2827)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2826) that would 
     require installations in the most water constrained 
     environments to conduct water security assessments and to 
     consider water scarcity in their grounds-keeping.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

       The Senate recedes.
     Prohibition relating to closure or return to host nation of 
         existing military installations, infrastructure, or real 
         property in Europe (sec. 2828)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2883) that 
     would prohibit any funds authorized to be appropriated by 
     this Act for fiscal year 2021 for the Department of Defense 
     to be obligated or expended to implement any activity that 
     closes or returns to the host nation any existing base under 
     the European Infrastructure Consolidation Initiative.
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

       The Senate recedes.
     Lease extension, Bryan Multi-Sports Complex, Wayne County, 
         North Carolina (sec. 2837)
       The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 7862) that 
     would allow the Secretary of the Air Force to extend to the 
     City of Goldsboro the existing lease of the approximately 62-
     acre Bryan Multi-Sports Complex located in Wayne County,

     the United States in and to parcels of real property, 
     including any improvements thereon, at Milan Army Ammunition 
     Plant, Tennessee, consisting of approximately 292 acres.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would 
     additionally authorize the Secretary to convey, without 
     consideration, to the University of Tennessee, all right, 
     title, and interest of the United States in and to parcels of 
     real property, including any improvements thereon, consisting 
     of approximately 900 acres.

                 Subtitle E--Military Land Withdrawals

     Renewal of land withdrawal and reservation to benefit Naval 
         Air Facility, El Centro, California (sec. 2841)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2841) that would 
     renew the land withdrawal and reservation for the benefit of 
     Naval Air Facility El Centro, California, for a period of 25 
     years.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Renewal of Fallon Range Training Complex land withdrawal and 
         reservation (sec. 2842)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2842) that would 
     renew the existing land withdrawal and reservation for the 
     Fallon Range Training Complex (FRTC) for a period of 25 
     years.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     2861).
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note this renewal maintains the status quo of 
     the FRTC. However, the conferees also note that with the 
     increasing deployment of 5th generation fighters, finding a 
     way to expand the Fallon Range Training Complex, in a manner 
     that is responsive to the needs of all stakeholders is 
     essential for the Nation's tactical aviation readiness and 
     improved ground forces training. The conferees direct the 
     Department of the Navy to continue to work with the 
     committees of jurisdiction, the Nevada congressional 
     delegation, State, and Tribal stakeholders to secure a 
     mutually-agreed upon expansion at FRTC.

         reservation (sec. 2843)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2843) that would

     land withdrawal and reservation for a period of 25 years.
       The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     2862).
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note this renewal maintains the status quo of 
     the NTTR. However, the conferees also note that with the 
     increasing deployment of 5th generation fighters, finding a 
     way to expand the NTTR, in a manner that is responsive to the 
     needs of all stakeholders, is essential for the Nation's 
     tactical aviation readiness and improved ground forces 
     training. The conferees direct the Department of the Air 
     Force to continue to work with the committees of 
     jurisdiction, the Nevada congressional delegation, State, and 
     Tribal stakeholders to secure a mutually-agreed upon 
     expansion at NTTR.

         infrastructure in connection with realignment of Marine 
         Corps forces in Asia-Pacific region (sec. 2852)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2852) that would 
     authorize a public infrastructure project on Guam intended to 
     provide a public health laboratory, as identified in the 
     ``Economic Adjustment Committee Implementation Plan 
     Supporting the Preferred Alternative for the Relocation of 
     Marine Corps Forces to Guam.''
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

     Development of master plan for infrastructure to support 
         rotational Armed Forces in Australia (sec. 2853)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2853) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
     Commander, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and the military 
     services, to submit a report to the congressional defense 
     committees on the infrastructure investments required to 
     support the United States Force Posture Initiatives and other 
     activities to promote regional security and stability with 
     Australia.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment.
     Bulk fuel management in United States Indo-Pacific Command 
         Area of Responsibility (sec. 2854)
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2854) that would 
     provide the sense of Congress that a single organizational 
     element should be responsible for bulk fuel management and 
     delivery throughout the United States Indo-Pacific Command 
     (USINDOPACOM) area of responsibility (AOR). Additionally, 
     this section would require a report, not later than 1 year 
     after the

[[Page H6701]]

     date of the enactment of this Act, to the congressional 
     defense committees as to an assessment of current assets and 
     a projection of future fuel management strategies necessary 
     to optimally support bulk fuel management.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees believe that the ordering and delivery of 
     bulk fuels is organizationally bifurcated to the detriment of 
     the Department of Defense and that legacy bulk fuel 
     management will not meet the accelerated pace of operations 
     required to support the National Defense Strategy (NDS) and 
     the emphasis on disaggregated operations. Furthermore, the 
     number of United States flagged tanking vessels continues to 
     decline, which has resulted in an excessive reliance on 
     foreign flagged tanking vessels to be available to support 
     the NDS. The conferees believe that a foreign flagged tanking 
     vessel support strategy induces excessive risk to support 
     United States disaggregated operations in a highly contested 
     environment and that inadequacies of the legacy bulk fuel 
     management strategy are particularly acute in the USINDOPACOM 
     AOR. Finally, the conferees note that an effective fuel 
     management strategy will have to address the demand side as 
     well as addressing supply concerns.

                 Subtitle G--Authorized Pilot Programs

     Pilot program to authorize use of cost savings realized from 
         intergovernmental services agreements for installation-

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

     emissions.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Pilot program to authorize additional military construction 
         projects for child development centers at military 
         installations (sec. 2865)

         synchronization for Ground Based Strategic Deterrent 
         (sec. 2881)
        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2404) that 
     would provide for effective oversight of the military 
     construction associated with the Ground Based Strategic 
     Deterrent Program.
        The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (secs. 
     2802 and 7802) that would authorize the Secretary of the Air 
     Force to carry out military construction projects to convert 
     Minuteman III launch facilities and launch centers to ground-
     based strategic deterrent (GBSD) configurations under certain

        The conferees note the importance of managing the proposed 
     transformation from Minuteman III to GBSD under existing 
     military construction (MILCON) laws in order to maintain the 
     right balance of flexibility and congressional oversight. The 
     conferees note that this provision would allow the MILCON 
     projects to be requested with each missile base as a single 
     integrated project. Additionally, the conferees encourage the 
     Air Force, when including these MILCON projects in the budget 
     request, to group GBSD-related MILCON projects at no higher 
     than a squadron level to facilitate appropriate oversight of 
     the program.

        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2861) that 
     would amend section 2391 of title 10, United States Code, to

      Consideration of certain military family readiness issues in 
         making basing decisions associated with certain military 
         units and major headquarters (sec. 2883)
        The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 2881) 
     that would require the Secretaries of the military 
     departments to factor military family readiness 
     considerations, among other relevant factors, in future 
     basing decisions. Additionally, the provision would require 
     each of the Secretaries of the military departments to 
     establish, for each of the military installations under his 
     or her jurisdiction, a basing decision scorecard that 
     incorporates the military family readiness considerations 
     listed in this provision, among other factors the Secretary 
     deems relevant.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretaries of the military departments to take certain 
     military family readiness considerations into account, among 
     other relevant factors, when

[[Page H6702]]

     determining whether to proceed with any basing decision 
     associated with a covered military unit or major headquarters 
     within the United States. Each of the Secretaries of the 
     military departments would be required to establish, for each 
     of the military installations under their jurisdiction, a 
     basing decision scorecard that incorporates the military 
     family readiness considerations.
        The conferees support the efforts of the Secretaries of 
     the military departments to address retention and family 
     readiness issues through the consideration of family 
     readiness criteria as part of a broader strategic basing 
     process. However, the conferees note that considerations 
     related to quality of public education are fraught with 
     complexity and the potential for unintended consequences. 
     Accordingly, the conferees direct the Secretaries of the 
     military departments to provide a briefing to the Committees 
     on Armed Services for the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Education and Labor for 
     the House of Representatives and Committee on Health, 
     Education, Labor, and Pensions of the Senate not later than 
     March 1, 2021. The briefing shall include at a minimum the 
     following: (1) Data on per pupil expenditures as reported 
     under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 
     (Public Law 89-10) and available information on the impact of 
     the loss of tax base caused by the presence of the military 
     installation on such expenditures; (2) The methods for 
     assessing academic performance, including academic 
     performance of subgroups of students as defined under section 
     1111(h)(1)(C)(ii) of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
     Act of 1965; (3) The operative definition and method of 
     assessment of ``social climate;'' (4) The method for 
     assessing the availability of specialized instructional 
     support personnel, mental health services, and other student 
     support programs; (5) The extent to which the military 
     department is using data reported under section 1111(h) of 
     the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 as part of 
     their evaluation; (6) The availability of Head Start, Pre-
     Kindergarten, and high-quality and affordable childcare for 
     children age birth to 5, including Department of Defense 
     childcare and activities; (7) How the military departments 
     are considering and weighing decisions made at the State 
     level that impact local communities in their assessment of 
     public schools; and (8) Measures to ensure transparency and 
     uniformity in the application of the criteria to the 
     strategic basing process.

        The House recedes.
        The conferees encourage the ongoing work for improving 
     emergency testing, lead encapsulation, and testing when

     are discouraged that Congress continues to hear from 
     concerned military families who feel their concerns are not 
     being heard. Finally, the conferees note that if the military 
     services and private contractors continue to fail these 
     families, additional legislation and hearings will be 
     warranted.

     this Act.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense for

     committees not later than May 2, 2021.
        The report shall include the following: (1) The location, 
     size, and expiration date of each lease and easement; (2) 
     Major milestones and expected timelines for maintaining 
     access to the land covered by each lease and easement; (3)

     Defense or in which the Department otherwise has a real 
     property interest are critical to maintaining the readiness 
     of the Armed Forces now stationed or to be stationed in 
     Hawai`i, throughout the Indo-Pacific region, and elsewhere. 
     The conferees note that securing long-term continued 
     utilization of those lands by the Armed Forces is critical to 
     the national defense.

     noise insulation on covered property impacted by military 
     aviation noise from aircraft utilizing the installation.
        The Senate amendment contained a similar provision.
        The House recedes.
        The conferees note with the greater deployment of fifth 
     generation tactical aircraft, the issue of military aviation 
     noise in our communities will continue. The conferees 
     encourage the Department of Defense and the military 
     departments to look  for ways to work with communities to

     operating on military installations are equally applied to 
     all relevant institutions. Additionally, the provision would 
     prohibit any requirement for Secretaries of the military

     Department of Defense to the allocated building at Fort 
     Meade, Maryland.
        The House bill contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes.
        The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a

     any previously recorded Department decisions made on the 
     relocation and the costs associated with maintaining the 
     existing location as well as any additional location options 
     the Department deems appropriate. If the Department believes 
     that one course of action should be recommended, the brief

     Processing Facility and to provide the cost estimate, along 
     with the confidence level of the estimators that the project 
     can be completed within estimated schedule and cost 
     objectives, to the congressional defense committees. If the 
     confidence level is lower than 90 percent, the Secretary of 
     Energy would be required to submit to the congressional 
     defense committees either a certification, without 
     delegation, that the Secretary independently has sufficient 
     confidence in the project, or a plan to achieve such 
     confidence. In the event of the independent cost estimate 
     achieving a confidence level of less than 90 percent, the 
     commander of United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) would 
     also be required to certify to the congressional defense 
     committees whether or not requirements relating to plutonium 
     pit production may be extended by 5 years without posing a 
     grave threat to the national security of the United States.

   DIVISION E--NATIONAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INITIATIVE ACT OF 2020

      National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020 
         (secs. 5001-5501)
        The House bill contained Division E that included the 
     National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make 
     various modifications to such provisions.
        The conferees believe that artificial intelligence systems 
     have the potential to transform every sector of the United 
     States economy, boosting productivity, enhancing scientific 
     research, and increasing U.S. competitiveness and that the 
     United States government should use this Initiative to enable 
     the benefits of trustworthy artificial intelligence while 
     preventing the creation and use of artificial intelligence 
     systems that behave in ways that cause harm. The conferees 
     further believe that such harmful artificial intelligence 
     systems may include high-risk systems that lack sufficient 
     robustness to prevent adversarial attacks; high-risk systems 
     that harm the privacy or security of users or the general 
     public; artificial general intelligence systems that become 
     self-aware or uncontrollable; and artificial intelligence 
     systems that unlawfully discriminate against protected 
     classes of persons, including on the basis of sex, race, age, 
     disability, color, creed, national origin, or religion. 
     Finally, the conferees believe that the United States must 
     take a whole of government approach to leadership in 
     trustworthy artificial intelligence, including through 
     coordination between the Department of Defense, the 
     Intelligence Community, and the civilian agencies.

                    DIVISION F--ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING

      Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (secs. 6001-6511)
        The House bill contained multiple provisions (sections 
     6001 through 7306 contained in Divisions F and G of the House 
     bill) that would strengthen, modernize, and improve the 
     communication, oversight, and processes of the U.S. 
     Department of the Treasury's financial intelligence, anti-
     money laundering, and countering the financing of terrorism 
     programs, and would establish beneficial ownership 
     information reporting requirements. Division F is 
     substantially similar to H.R. 2513, the Corporate 
     Transparency Act of 2019, introduced by Representative 
     Maloney of New York, and Division G is substantially similar 
     to H.R. 2514, the Coordinating Oversight, Upgrading and 
     Innovating Technology, and Examiner Reform Act of 2019 
     (COUNTER Act), introduced by Representative Cleaver of 
     Missouri.
        The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
        The Senate recedes with an amendment in the form of a 
     single division that makes a number of additional changes to 
     the provisions in the House bill to strengthen the provisions 
     relating to anti-money laundering and countering the 
     financing of terrorism programs and to establish an improved 
     reporting system relating to beneficial ownership 
     information, including building in further protections to 
     ensure that sensitive information is properly used and 
     protected. The Senate amendment builds on Divisions F & G in 
     the House bill and draws from related bills pending in the 
     Senate, including S.2563, the Improving Laundering Laws and 
     Increasing Comprehensive Information Tracking of Criminal 
     Activity in Shell Holdings Act (ILLICIT CASH Act), introduced 
     by Senator Warner of Virginia and Senator Cotton of Arkansas; 
     S.1889, the True Incorporation Transparency for Law 
     Enforcement Act (TITLE Act), introduced by Senator Whitehouse 
     of Rhode Island; S.1978, the Corporate Transparency Act, 
     introduced by Senator Wyden of Oregon; and S.1883, Combating 
     Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Counterfeiting Act 
     of 2019, introduced by Senator Graham of South Carolina.
        The conference agreement also includes Division L, the 
     STIFLE Act of 2020, included in H.R. 6395 the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, as passed by 
     the House of Representatives. This division is substantially 
     similar to H.R. 7592, the Stopping Trafficking, Illicit 
     Flows, Laundering, and Exploitation Act of 2020 (STIFLE Act), 
     introduced by Representative McAdams of Utah and 
     Representative Gonzalez of Ohio, and integrates it into the 
     conference agreement.
        The conferees note that the current Anti-Money Laundering/
     Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) regulatory 
     framework is an amalgamation of statutes and regulations that 
     are grounded in the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) (21 U.S.C. 5311 et 
     seq.), which the Congress enacted in 1970. This decades-old 
     regime, which has not seen comprehensive reform and 
     modernization since its inception, is generally built on 
     individual reporting mechanisms (i.e., currency transaction 
     reports (CTRs) and suspicious activity reports (SARs)) and 
     contemplates aging, decades-old technology, rather than the 
     current, sophisticated AML compliance systems now managed by 
     most financial institutions. The provisions of the House 
     bill, as modified by the Senate amendment, comprehensively 
     update the BSA for the first time in decades and provide for 
     the establishment of a coherent set of risk-based priorities.
        One overarching improvement now included in the conference 
     agreement is to broaden the mission of the BSA to 
     specifically safeguard national security as well as the more 
     traditional investigatory pursuits of law enforcement. This 
     change is reflected throughout the conference agreement, 
     including in the priorities that will be established by the 
     Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with key Federal 
     national security, law enforcement, and regulatory officials.
        In particular, the conference agreement requires more 
     routine and systemic coordination, communication, and 
     feedback among financial institutions, regulators, and law 
     enforcement to identify suspicious financial activities, 
     better focusing bank resources to the AML task, which will 
     increase the likelihood for better law enforcement outcomes.
        Currently, there is no clear statutory mandate for BSA 
     stakeholders--law enforcement, financial regulators, and 
     financial institutions--to provide routine, standardized 
     feedback to one another for the purpose of improving the 
     effectiveness of BSA anti-money laundering programs. The 
     conference agreement establishes a critical feedback loop and 
     improved routine reporting requirements, to ensure that 
     resources are directed effectively and that law enforcement, 
     regulators, and financial institutions better communicate and 
     coordinate on BSA-AML priorities, collection methods, and 
     outcomes. Because this coordination is essential to 
     identifying those who abuse our financial system, the 
     conferees also examined other domestic and international 
     models for these regulation-guided feedback loops to identify 
     additional lessons-learned that could be adapted for this 
     essential sector.
        The conference agreement also opens avenues for more data 
     sharing among financial institutions and within financial 
     institutions and their affiliates, while retaining key 
     security safeguards, so that patterns of suspicious 
     activities will be more easily identified, tracked, and 
     shared appropriately.
        The conference agreement also provides a clear mandate for 
     innovation, while providing for regulatory processes for 
     financial institutions to effectively innovate, test, and 
     adopt leading technologies, such as artificial intelligence, 
     to track, identify, and report suspicious financial activity. 
     It also provides for dedicated staff and multiple fora to 
     support public-private collaboration and advancement of this 
     issue.
        This includes two new Bank Secrecy Act Advisory Group 
     (BSAAG) subcommittees. The first focuses on confidentiality 
     and informational security and the second on innovation and 
     technology. A new ``tech symposium'' is also established 
     whereby the U.S. Department of the Treasury is urged to 
     convene international and domestic regulators, financial 
     institutions, law enforcement, and technology companies to 
     periodically demonstrate and test related innovations, all of 
     which will introduce AML participants to the latest 
     technology and mandate its effective incorporation into 
     comprehensive BSA AML-CFT compliance programs.
        The conference agreement further requires that the 
     Secretary of the Treasury must consider, when imposing SAR 
     reporting requirements, the benefits and burdens of specific 
     requirements and whether the reporting is likely to be 
     ``highly useful'' to law enforcement and national security 
     efforts. It also calls for the potential streamlining of 
     reporting requirements, including automated processes. The 
     Secretary must further report to the Congress on whether to 
     permit financial institutions to provide certain ``bulk 
     reporting'' to law enforcement of low-level risks, such as 
     Suspicious Activity Reports related to structured 
     transactions, which could allow financial institutions to 
     focus more time and effort on identifying and reporting 
     higher-priority, sophisticated suspicious activity.
        The conference agreement provides new whistleblower 
     protections for those reporting BSA violations and 
     establishes an ``Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism 
     Financing Fund'' to pay such rewards. It also establishes 
     tough new penalties on those convicted of serious BSA 
     violations, including additional penalties for repeat BSA 
     violators and a prohibition against financial institution 
     board service for individuals convicted of egregious BSA-
     related crimes.
        The conference agreement closes significant AML-CFT gaps, 
     including by adding the trade in antiquities to coverage 
     under the BSA. In addition, Treasury and its law enforcement 
     partners will further study the risks posed by the 
     facilitation of money laundering through the trade in art.
        In addition, the laundering of money through real estate 
     transactions continues to be an issue of concern, and the 
     conferees encourage Treasury to examine whether reporting on 
     certain commercial, as well as certain residential, real 
     estate transactions would be a source of highly useful 
     information to law enforcement and the national security 
     community. The conference agreement also requires U.S. 
     Government-wide  strategies to combat trade-based money 
     laundering, trafficking, and Chinese money laundering 
     activities.
        The conference agreement mandates a study and strategy on 
     de-risking to ensure that legitimate customers--whether 
     individuals, entities, or geographic areas--are not 
     unintentionally and unfairly excluded from access to the 
     financial system.
        The conference agreement authorizes additional support to 
     the U.S. Department of the Treasury to accomplish these 
     goals, and the conferees expect the Department to insist on 
     strong accountability for results and responsiveness to 
     congressional oversight during implementation of this 
     measure. Recognizing the important role of the Financial

[[Page H6809]]

     Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the need to 
     strengthen the Bureau's management and operations, the 
     agreement adds $10.0 million to the Bureau's authorization. 
     The agreement also allows for special hiring authority for 
     the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence and its 
     component parts. It further establishes a FinCEN Office of 
     Domestic Liaison, FinCEN Foreign Financial Intelligence Unit 
     Liaisons, and expands the number of U.S. Treasury Attaches to 
     allow the Department a broader reach for its AML-CFT 
     activities.
        The conference agreement also addresses the critical issue 
     of beneficial ownership. Targeting bad actors who own or 
     control businesses that act as ``fronts'' or shell companies 
     on behalf of those conducting illicit activities is essential 
     to combating crime and safeguarding our national security.
        The conference agreement requires corporations, limited 
     liability companies, and other similar entities formed in the 
     U.S.--or foreign entities registered to do business in the 
     U.S.--to report their beneficial owners to the U.S. 
     Department of the Treasury, as a means to combat the abuse of 
     anonymous companies, which can be used to facilitate money 
     laundering, the financing of terrorism, proliferation 
     finance, tax evasion, human and drug trafficking, sanctions 
     evasion, and other financial crimes.
        The conference agreement requires companies to disclose 
     their beneficial owners to the U.S. Department of the 
     Treasury at the time the company is formed and when ownership 
     changes. This beneficial ownership information will be kept 
     confidential and treated as sensitive information, protected 
     under the highest information security standards. It will be 
     made directly available only to: (1) Authorized Government 
     authorities upon request as set out in the measure, subject 
     to effective safeguards, to facilitate relevant national 
     security, intelligence, and law enforcement activities; and 
     (2) Financial institutions, for purposes of complying with 
     their customer due diligence requirements under applicable 
     law and regulation.
        For requests made by Federal agencies, the conference 
     agreement requires that only the head of an agency or a 
     designee may certify access to the beneficial ownership 
     database for an investigation, or other authorized national 
     security, intelligence, or law enforcement activity. The 
     conferees expect that the process of delegating authority for 
     designees to make a written certification under section 
     5403(c)(3)(E) will be consistent with the existing processes 
     to delegate authority to designees to carry out 26 U.S.C. 
     6103 requests, while taking into account the unique 
     organizational structures of each requesting agency.
        Similarly, requests made by State, local, or Tribal law 
     enforcement must be approved by a court of competent 
     jurisdiction. ``Court of competent jurisdiction,'' for 
     purposes of this measure, includes an officer of such a court 
     such as a judge, magistrate, or a Clerk of Courts. This does 
     not include attorneys who are party to a proceeding.
        The conferees note that nothing in this conference 
     agreement is designed to undermine the requirement that 
     financial institutions identify and verify the beneficial 
     owners of their legal entity customers pursuant to 31 C.F.R. 
     1010.230(a). The conference agreement provides that not later 
     than 1 year after the regulations promulgated to implement 
     the Corporate Transparency Act become effective, the 
     Secretary of the Treasury shall revise the final rule 
     entitled ``Customer Due Diligence Requirements for Financial 
     Institutions'' (81 Fed. Reg. 29397 (May 11, 2016)) (the ``CDD 
     Rule'') to, inter alia, bring the CDD rule into conformance 
     with the statute and reduce any burdens on financial 
     institutions and legal entity customers that are unnecessary 
     or duplicative.
        The conference agreement further provides that paragraphs 
     (b)-(j) of 31 C.F.R. 1010.230 will be rescinded upon the 
     effective date of the revised rule promulgated under this 
     subsection. The conferees intend for the revised CDD rule, 
     including those provisions added pursuant to section 5403(a) 
     of this amendment, to replace appropriate provisions of the 
     current 31 C.F.R. 1010.230.

        The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1705) that

        The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
        The conferees believe that while U.S. experts have 
     historically been leaders in international standards 
     development activities, the principles of openness, 
     transparency, due process, and consensus supported by the 
     United States in the development of international standards 
     are being eroded in certain bodies. Further, voluntary 
     consensus standards, developed through an industry-led 
     process, serve as the cornerstone of the U.S. standardization 
     system and have become the basis of a sound national economy 
     and the key to global market access. The conferees believe, 
     therefore, that strengthening the unique United States 
     public-private partnerships approach to standards development 
     is critical to United States economic competitiveness. The 
     United States Government should ensure cooperation and 
     coordination across Federal agencies and partner with private 
     sector stakeholders to continue to shape international 
     dialogues in regard to standards development for emerging 
     technologies.

        The Senate recedes.

     jurisdiction of the United States are extended to the Outer 
     Continental Shelf, including with respect to installations 
     and other devices permanently or temporarily attached to the

     Developing crisis capabilities to meet needs for homeland 
         security-critical supplies
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1760) that would 
     require the Secretary of Homeland Security to coordinate with 
     the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Administrator 
     of the Environmental Protection Agency, and the heads of 
     other relevant Federal departments and agencies to create a 
     repository of federally approved plans and specifications for 
     critical medical items that could help manufacturers rapidly 
     produce those items in a potential national emergency or 
     disaster.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that a Government Accountability Office 
     (GAO) report issued in June 2020 cited concerns related to 
     the acquisition, distribution, and adequacy of supplies 
     during the COVID-19 response, including from the Strategic 
     National Stockpile (SNS), for the purpose of increasing the 
     availability of medical supplies. The conferees note that GAO 
     also observed in a September 2020 report that, since the 
     beginning of the pandemic, the Federal Emergency Management 
     Agency and the Department of Health and Human Services have 
     begun to focus on intermediate goals, such as increasing 
     domestic manufacturing capacity and rebuilding the SNS to 
     better position the United States to respond to continuing 
     COVID-19 outbreaks and future emergencies. States also have 
     been building their own stockpiles of critical supplies.
       However, despite the ongoing work to obtain needed medical 
     supplies and expand domestic production of these items, the 
     conferees remain concerned that certain supply shortages 
     remain. The conferees emphasize the need to identify homeland 
     security-critical supplies to address future national 
     emergencies or disasters, develop plans related to the 
     production of such supplies, including by nontraditional 
     manufacturers, and to enter into contingent arrangements to 
     expedite the production of such supplies in the event of a 
     national emergency or disaster. Therefore, the conferees will 
     continue to encourage reviews of stockpiles of critical 
     supplies and conduct rigorous oversight of efforts to ensure 
     viable supply chains are in place to ensure the United States 
     is well prepared to respond to continuing COVID-19 outbreaks 
     and future emergencies.
     Foreign state computer intrusions
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1762) that would

     States against a foreign state relating to computer 
     intrusions.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Online and distance education classes and nonimmigrant visas
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1763) that would

     or (M) of section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration and 
     Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)) to engage in online or 
     distance education classes or programs that are determined 
     necessary by an institute or program for the protection of 
     health and safety and that such classes or programs would 
     count toward the requirement to pursue a full course of study 
     to maintain nonimmigrant status.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Establishment of Southern New England Regional Commission

       The House recedes.
     Building United States capacity for verification and 
         manufacturing of advanced microelectronics

     require the Secretary of Commerce, acting through the 
     Director of the National Institute of Standards and 
     Technology, to carry out research and development to enable 
     advances and breakthroughs in measurement science, standards, 
     material characterization, instrumentation, testing, and 
     manufacturing capabilities to accelerate the underlying 
     research and development for design, development, and 
     manufacturability of next generation microelectronics and 
     ensure the competitiveness and leadership of the United 
     States within the microelectronics sector.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Threshold for reporting additions to toxics release inventory
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1772) that would 
     amend section 7321 of the PFAS Act of 2019 (Public Law 116-
     92) by prohibiting the Administrator of the Environmental 
     Protection Agency from applying 40 C.F.R. 372.38 to the 
     chemicals identified in sec. 7321 unless the Administrator 
     revises the reporting threshold for the chemicals identified 
     in sec. 7321(b) and (c) to 10,000 pounds per year and sets 
     the reporting threshold for chemicals identified pursuant to 
     sec. 7321(d) at 10,000 pounds per year.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Temporary relief for private student loan borrowers
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1776) that would 
     prohibit any servicer of private education loans from 
     collecting payments or accruing interest on such loans 
     through September 30, 2021.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees are concerned about the growing burden of 
     student debt on borrowers, taxpayers, and the U.S. economy. 
     The conferees urge the Administration to use authorities 
     provided to it by the Congress to ensure that all borrowers, 
     particularly those who are in financial distress, are treated 
     fairly and receive any assistance they are eligible for.
     Report on threat posed by domestic terrorists
       The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1781) that would 
     require the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 
     the Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Intelligence and 
     Analysis, and the Director of National Intelligence (acting 
     through the National Counterterrorism Center) to jointly 
     submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report 
     that includes an evaluation of the nature and extent of the 
     domestic terror threat and domestic terrorist groups.
       The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       As articulated by the National Security Strategy, the 
     conferees note that America should reject bigotry and 
     oppression and will deny violent ideologies the space to take 
     root in American communities.
       The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) 
     testified on September 17, 2020, that the greatest domestic 
     terrorist threat is white supremacists. In the October 2020 
     Homeland Threat Assessment, the acting Secretary of Homeland 
     Security stated that he was ``particularly concerned about 
     white supremacist violent extremists who have been 
     exceptionally lethal in their abhorrent, targeted attacks in 
     recent years'' and that ``[they] seek to force ideological 
     change in the United States through violence, death, and 
     destruction.''
       The conferees further note that Section 5602 of the 
     National Defense Authorization

[[Page H6815]]

     Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) sought to better 
     characterize the domestic terrorist threat by requiring the 
     FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in 
     consultation with the National Counterterrorism Center 
     (NCTC), to produce a set of comprehensive reports over 5 
     years. The recurring annual report on domestic terrorism 
     is to include: a strategic intelligence assessment on the 
     nature and severity of the domestic terror threat internal 
     to the United States; metrics on the number and type of 
     incidents, coupled with resulting investigations, arrests, 
     prosecutions, and analytic products; copies of the FBI's 
     guidelines and policies permitting the initiation and 
     execution of domestic terrorism investigations; detailed 
     explanations of how the FBI, DHS, and NCTC prioritize the 
     allocation and sustainment of personnel and resources 
     against domestic terrorism threats and incidents; and 
     descriptions regarding the type and regularity of training 
     provided by the FBI, DHS, or NCTC to other Federal, State, 
     and local law enforcement. The report is required to be 
     made available to the public in an effort to increase 
     transparency on matters of critical national importance.
       The conferees note, however, that this required report has 
     not yet been delivered to the appropriate congressional 
     committees. The conferees, therefore, urge the Director of 
     the FBI to submit this report without further delay.

       The House recedes.
