     SEC. 875. PRODUCTION OF COMMERCIAL AMMUNITION AT ELIGIBLE 
                   FACILITIES.

       The Secretary of the Army shall permit a contractor for an 
     eligible facility (as defined in section 7551 of title 10, 
     United States Code) to produce ammunition for commercial sale 
     if the contractor is able to meet Department of Defense 
     ammunition requirements while producing commercial 
     ammunition. The Secretary of the Army may not restrict the 
     ability of such a contractor to produce ammunition for

     of Defense.
