     SEC. 127. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON AIRCRAFT CARRIER PROCUREMENT 
                   SCHEDULES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) In the Congressional Budget Office report titled ``An 
     Analysis of the Navy's Fiscal Year 2016 Shipbuilding Plan'', 
     the Office stated as follows: ``To prevent the carrier force 
     from declining to 10 ships in the 2040s, 1 short of its 
     inventory goal of 11, the Navy could accelerate purchases 
     after 2018 to 1 every four years, rather than 1 every five 
     years''.
       (2) In a report submitted to Congress on March 17, 2015, 
     the Secretary of the Navy indicated the Department of the 
     Navy has a requirement of 11 aircraft carriers.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the plan of the Department of the Navy to schedule the 
     procurement of one aircraft carrier every five years will 
     reduce the overall aircraft carrier inventory to 10 aircraft 
     carriers, a level insufficient to meet peacetime and war plan 
     requirements; and
       (2) to accommodate the required aircraft carrier force 
     structure, the Department of the Navy should--
       (A) begin to program construction for the next aircraft 
     carrier to be built after the U.S.S. Enterprise (CVN-80) in 
     fiscal year 2022; and
       (B) program the required advance procurement activities to 
     accommodate the construction of such carrier.

     SEC. 128. REPORT ON P-8 POSEIDON AIRCRAFT.

       (a) Report Required.--Not later than October 1, 2017, the 
     Secretary of the Navy shall submit to the congressional 
     defense committees a report on potential upgrades to the 
     capabilities of the P-8 Poseidon aircraft.
       (b) Elements.--The report under subsection (a) shall 
     include, with respect to the P-8 Poseidon aircraft, the 
     following:
       (1) A review of potential upgrades to the sensors onboard 
     the aircraft, including upgrades to intelligence sensors, 
     surveillance sensors, and reconnaissance sensors such as 
     those being fielded on MQ-4 Global Hawk aircraft platforms.
       (2) An assessment of the ability of the Navy to use long-
     range multispectral imaging systems onboard the aircraft that 
     are similar to such systems being used onboard the MQ-4 
     Global Hawk aircraft.

     SEC. 241. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON DEVELOPMENT AND FIELDING OF 
                   FIFTH GENERATION AIRBORNE SYSTEMS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The term ``fifth generation'', with respect to airborne 
     systems, means those airborne systems capable of operating 
     effectively in highly contested battle spaces defined by the 
     most capable currently fielded threats, and those reasonably 
     expected to be operational in the foreseeable future.
       (2) Continued modernization of Department of Defense 
     airborne systems such as fighters, bombers, and intelligence, 
     surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft with fifth 
     generation capabilities is required because--
       (A) adversary integrated air defense systems (IADS) have 
     created regions where fourth generation airborne systems may 
     be limited in their ability to effectively operate;
       (B) adversary aircraft, air-to-air missiles, and airborne 
     electronic attack or electronic protection systems are 
     advancing beyond the capabilities of fourth generation 
     airborne systems; and
       (C) fifth generation airborne systems provide a wider 
     variety of options for a given warfighting challenge, 
     preserve the technological advantage of the United States 
     over near-peer threats, and serve as a force multiplier by 
     increasing situational awareness and combat effectiveness of 
     fourth generation airborne systems.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     development and fielding of fifth generation airborne system 
     systems should include the following:
       (1) Multispectral (radar, infrared, visual, emissions) low 
     observable (LO) design features, self-protection jamming, and 
     other capabilities that significantly delay or deny threat 
     system detection, tracking, and engagement.
       (2) Integrated avionics that autonomously fuse and 
     prioritize onboard multispectral sensors and offboard 
     information data to provide an accurate realtime operating 
     picture and data download for postmission exploitation and 
     analysis.
       (3) Resilient communications, navigation, and 
     identification techniques designed to effectively counter 
     adversary attempts to deny or confuse friendly systems.
       (4) Robust and secure networks linking individual platforms 
     to create a common, accurate, and highly integrated picture 
     of the battle space for friendly forces.
       (5) Advanced onboard diagnostics capable of monitoring 
     system health, accurately reporting system faults, and 
     increasing overall system performance and reliability.
       (6) Integrated platform and subsystem designs to maximize 
     lethality and survivability while enabling decision 
     superiority.
       (7) Maximum consideration for the fielding of unmanned 
     platforms either employed in concert with fifth generation 
     manned platforms or as standalone unmanned platforms, to 
     increase warfighting effectiveness and reduce risk to 
     personnel during high risk missions.
       (8) Advanced air-to-air, air-to-ground, and other weapons 
     able to leverage fifth generation capabilities.
       (9) Comprehensive and high-fidelity live, virtual, and 
     constructive training systems, updated range infrastructure, 
     and sufficient threat-representative adversary training 
     assets to maximize fifth generation force proficiency, 
     effectiveness, and readiness while protecting sensitive 
     capabilities.

     subsection shall address the following:
       (A) Whether, in light of the current and predicted global

     military selective service process designed to produce large 
     numbers of combat members of the Armed Forces, and if so, 
     whether such a system should include mandatory registration 
     by all citizens and residents, regardless of sex.
       (B) The need, and how best to meet the need, of the Nation, 
     the military, the Federal civilian sector, and the private 
     sector (including the non-profit sector) for individuals 
     possessing critical skills and abilities, and how best to 
     employ individuals possessing those skills and abilities for 
     military, national, or public service.

     United States youth, an increased sense of service and civic 
     responsibility in order to enhance the acquisition by the 
     Nation of critically needed skills through education and 
     training, and how best to acquire those skills for military, 
     national, or public service.

     public service, including how to increase the pool of 
     qualified applicants for military service.

     the civilian sector to increase interest, education, and 
     employment in certain critical fields, including science, 
     technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), national 
     security, cyber, linguistics and foreign language, education, 
     health care, and the medical professions.
       (F) How military, national, and public service may be 
     incentivized, including through educational benefits, grants, 
     federally-insured loans, Federal or State hiring preferences, 
     or other mechanisms that the President considers appropriate.

                   AT COMMISSARIES AND EXCHANGES.

       (a) Optimization Strategy.--Section 2481(c) of title 10, 
     United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the 
     following paragraph:
       ``(3)(A) The Secretary of Defense shall develop and 
     implement a comprehensive strategy to optimize management 
     practices across the defense commissary system and the 
     exchange system that reduce reliance of those systems on 
     appropriated funding without reducing benefits to the patrons 
     of those systems or the revenue generated by nonappropriated 
     fund entities or instrumentalities of the Department of 
     Defense for the morale, welfare, and recreation of members of 
     the armed forces.
       ``(B) The Secretary shall ensure that savings generated due 
     to such optimization practices are shared by the defense 
     commissary system and the exchange system through contracts 
     or agreements that appropriately reflect the participation of 
     the systems in the development and implementation of such 
     practices.
       ``(C) If the Secretary determines that the reduced reliance 
     on appropriated funding pursuant to subparagraph (A) is 
     insufficient to maintain the benefits to the patrons of the 
     defense commissary system, and if the Secretary converts the 
     defense commissary system to a nonappropriated fund entity or 
     instrumentality pursuant to paragraph (1) of section 2484(j) 
     of this title, the Secretary shall transfer appropriated 
     funds pursuant to paragraph (2) of such section to ensure the 
     maintenance of such benefits.
       ``(4) On not less than a quarterly basis, the Secretary 
     shall provide to the congressional defense committees a 
     briefing on the defense commissary system, including--
       ``(A) an assessment of the savings the system provides 
     patrons;
       ``(B) the status of implementing section 2484(i) of this 
     title;
       ``(C) the status of implementing section 2484(j) of this 
     title, including whether the system requires any appropriated 
     funds pursuant to paragraph (2) of such section;
       ``(D) the status of carrying out a program for such system 
     to sell private label merchandise; and
       ``(E) any other matters the Secretary considers 
     appropriate.''.
       (b) Authorization to Supplement Appropriations Through 
     Business Optimization.--Section 2483(c) of such title is 
     amended by adding at the end the following new sentence: 
     ``Such appropriated amounts may also be supplemented with 
     additional funds derived from improved management practices 
     implemented pursuant to sections 2481(c)(3) and 2487(c) of 
     this title and the variable pricing program implemented 
     pursuant to section 2484(i) of this title.''.
       (c) Variable Pricing Pilot Program.--Section 2484 of such 
     title is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     subsections:
       ``(i) Variable Pricing Program.--(1) Notwithstanding 
     subsection (e), and subject to subsection (k), the Secretary 
     of Defense may establish a variable pricing program pursuant 
     to which prices may be established in response to market 
     conditions and customer demand, in accordance with the 
     requirements of this subsection. Notwithstanding the amount 
     of the uniform surcharge assessed in subsection (d), the 
     Secretary may provide for an alternative surcharge of not 
     more than five percent of sales proceeds under the variable 
     pricing program to be made available for the purposes 
     specified in subsection (h).
       ``(2) Subject to subsection (k), before establishing a 
     variable pricing program under this subsection, the Secretary 
     shall establish the following:
       ``(A) Specific, measurable benchmarks for success in the 
     provision of high quality grocery merchandise, discount 
     savings to patrons, and levels of customer satisfaction while 
     achieving savings for the Department of Defense.
       ``(B) A baseline of overall savings to patrons achieved by 
     commissary stores prior to the initiation of the variable 
     pricing program, based on

[[Page 14847]]

     a comparison of prices charged by those stores on a regional 
     basis with prices charged by relevant local competitors for a 
     representative market basket of goods.
       ``(3) The Secretary shall ensure that the defense 
     commissary system implements the variable pricing program by 
     conducting price comparisons using the methodology 
     established for paragraph (2)(B) and adjusting pricing as 
     necessary to ensure that pricing in the variable pricing 
     program achieves overall savings to patrons that are 
     consistent with the baseline savings established for the 
     relevant region pursuant to such paragraph.
       ``(j) Conversion to Nonappropriated Fund Entity or 
     Instrumentality.--(1) Subject to subsection (k), if the 
     Secretary of Defense determines that the variable pricing 
     program has met the benchmarks for success established 
     pursuant to paragraph (2)(A) of subsection (i) and the 
     savings requirements established pursuant to paragraph (3) of 
     such subsection over a period of at least six months, the 
     Secretary may convert the defense commissary system to a 
     nonappropriated fund entity or instrumentality, with 
     operating expenses financed in whole or in part by receipts 
     from the sale of products and the sale of services. Upon such 
     conversion, appropriated funds shall be transferred to the 
     defense commissary system only in accordance with paragraph 
     (2) or section 2491 of this title. The requirements of 
     section 2483 of this title shall not apply to the defense 
     commissary system operating as a nonappropriated fund entity 
     or instrumentality.
       ``(2) If the Secretary determines that the defense 
     commissary system operating as a nonappropriated fund entity 
     or instrumentality is likely to incur a loss in any fiscal 
     year as a result of compliance with the savings requirement 
     established in subsection (i), the Secretary shall authorize 
     a transfer of appropriated funds available for such purpose 
     to the commissary system in an amount sufficient to offset 
     the anticipated loss. Any funds so transferred shall be 
     considered to be nonappropriated funds for such purpose.
       ``(3)(A) The Secretary may identify positions of employees 
     in the defense commissary system who are paid with 
     appropriated funds whose status may be converted to the 
     status of an employee of a nonappropriated fund entity or 
     instrumentality.
       ``(B) The status and conversion of employees in a position 
     identified by the Secretary under subparagraph (A) shall be 
     addressed as provided in section 2491(c) of this title for 
     employees in morale, welfare, and recreation programs, 
     including with respect to requiring the consent of such 
     employee to be so converted.
       ``(C) No individual who is an employee of the defense 
     commissary system as of the date of the enactment of this 
     subsection shall suffer any loss of or decrease in pay as a 
     result of a conversion made under this paragraph.
       ``(k) Oversight Required To Ensure Continued Benefit to 
     Patrons.--(1) With respect to each action described in 
     paragraph (2), the Secretary of Defense may not carry out 
     such action until--
       ``(A) the Secretary provides to the congressional defense 
     committees a briefing on such action, including a 
     justification for such action; and
       ``(B) a period of 30 days has elapsed following such 
     briefing.
       ``(2) The actions described in this paragraph are the 
     following:

     goods pursuant to subsection (i)(2)(B).

     subsection (i)(1).

     nonappropriated fund entity or instrumentality under

     system and the exchange system; and

     systems as a whole and the benefits provided by the 
     commissaries and exchanges.

     system and the exchange system to enter into contracts or 
     other agreements--

     defense commissary system and the exchange system; and
       ``(B) for the acquisition of supplies, resale goods, and 
     services on behalf of both the defense commissary system and 
     the exchange system.

     instrumentality that is attributable to the defense 
     commissary system; and

     Secretary concerned may not recover the indebtedness from the 
     member, including a retired or former member, using

     special pay contracts awarded to such members during the 
     period described in paragraph (1)(A) for which the Department 
     has reason to believe a recoupment of pay may be warranted in

       (ii) carry out a complete review of all student loan 
     repayment contracts awarded to such members during the period

     recoupment.
       (C) Propriety of recoupment.--For purposes of clause (v) of

     member unless the board makes an affirmative determination, 
     by a preponderance of the evidence, that the member knew or 
     reasonably should have known that the member was ineligible 
     for the bonus pay, special pay, student loan repayment, or 
     other special payment recouped.

                   PERSONNEL ON LONG-TERM TEMPORARY DUTY 
                   ASSIGNMENTS.

       (a) Modification of Flat Rate.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall take such 
     action as may be necessary to provide that, to the extent 
     that regulations implementing travel and transportation 
     authorities for military and civilian personnel of the 
     Department of Defense impose a flat rate per diem for meals 
     and incidental expenses for authorized travelers on long-term 
     temporary duty assignments that is at a reduced rate compared 
     to the per diem rate otherwise applicable, the Secretary 
     concerned may waive the applicability of such reduced rate 
     and pay such travelers actual expenses up to the full per 
     diem rate for such travel in any case when the Secretary 
     concerned determines that the reduced flat rate per diem for 
     meals and incidental expenses is not sufficient under the 
     circumstances of the temporary duty assignment.
       (2) Applicability.--The Secretary concerned may exercise 
     the authority provided pursuant to paragraph (1) with respect 
     to per diem payable for any day on or after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act.
       (b) Delegation of Authority.--The authority pursuant to 
     subsection (a) may be delegated by the Secretary concerned to 
     an officer at the level of lieutenant general or vice 
     admiral, or above. Such authority may not be delegated to an 
     officer below that level.
       (c) Waiver of Collection of Receipts.--The Secretary 
     concerned or an officer to whom the authority pursuant to 
     subsection (a) is delegated pursuant to subsection (b) may 
     waive any requirement for the submittal of receipts by 
     travelers on long-term temporary duty assignments for the 
     purpose of receiving the full per diem rate pursuant to 
     subsection (a) if the Secretary concerned or officer, as 
     described in subsection (b), personally certifies that 
     requiring travelers to submit receipts for that purpose will 
     negatively affect mission performance or create an undue 
     administrative burden.
       (d) Secretary Concerned Defined.--In this section, the term 
     ``Secretary concerned'' has the meaning given that term in 
     section 101 of title 37, United States Code.

     platform and a major system component, between major system 
     components, or between major system platforms, defined by 
     various physical, logical, and functional characteristics, 
     such as electrical, mechanical, fluidic, optical, radio 
     frequency, data, networking, or software elements; and

     SEC. 813. USE OF LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE SOURCE 
                   SELECTION PROCESS.

       (a) Statement of Policy.--It shall be the policy of the 
     Department of Defense to avoid using lowest price technically 
     acceptable source selection criteria in circumstances that 
     would deny the Department the benefits of cost and technical 
     tradeoffs in the source selection process.

     Supplement.--Not later than 120 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall revise 
     the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement to 
     require that, for solicitations issued on or after the date 
     that is 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
     lowest price technically acceptable source selection criteria 
     are used only in situations in which--
       (1) the Department of Defense is able to comprehensively 
     and clearly describe the minimum requirements expressed in 
     terms of performance objectives, measures, and standards that 
     will be used to determine acceptability of offers;
       (2) the Department of Defense would realize no, or minimal, 
     value from a contract proposal exceeding the minimum 
     technical or performance requirements set forth in the 
     request for proposal;
       (3) the proposed technical approaches will require no, or 
     minimal, subjective judgment by the source selection 
     authority as to the desirability of one offeror's proposal 
     versus a competing proposal;
       (4) the source selection authority has a high degree of 
     confidence that a review of technical proposals of offerors 
     other than the lowest bidder would not result in the 
     identification of factors that could provide value or benefit 
     to the Department;
       (5) the contracting officer has included a justification 
     for the use of a lowest price technically acceptable 
     evaluation methodology in the contract file; and
       (6) the Department of Defense has determined that the 
     lowest price reflects full life-cycle costs, including for 
     operations and support.
       (c) Avoidance of Use of Lowest Price Technically Acceptable 
     Source Selection Criteria in Certain Procurements.--To the 
     maximum extent practicable, the use of lowest price 
     technically acceptable source selection criteria shall be 
     avoided in the case of a procurement that is predominately 
     for the acquisition of--
       (1) information technology services, cybersecurity 
     services, systems engineering and technical assistance 
     services, advanced electronic testing, audit or audit 
     readiness services, or other knowledge-based professional 
     services;

       (3) knowledge-based training or logistics services in 
     contingency operations or other operations outside the United 
     States, including in Afghanistan or Iraq.
       (d) Reporting.--Not later than December 1, 2017, and 
     annually thereafter for three years, the Comptroller General 
     of the United States shall submit to the congressional 
     defense committees a report on the number of instances in 
     which lowest price technically acceptable source selection 
     criteria is used for a contract exceeding $10,000,000, 
     including an explanation of how the situations listed in 
     subsection (b) were considered in making a determination to

       (1) remaining contract balances may be offset with balances 
     in other contract line items within a contract regardless of 
     the year or type of appropriation obligated to fund each 
     contract line item and regardless of whether the 
     appropriation for such contract line item has closed; and
       (2) remaining contract balances may be offset with balances 
     on other contracts regardless of the year or type of 
     appropriation obligated to fund each contract and regardless 
     of whether the appropriation has closed.
       (b) Contracts Covered.--The contracts covered by this 
     section are a group of contracts that are with one contractor 
     and identified by the Secretary, each one of which is a 
     contract--
       (1) to design, construct, repair, or support the 
     construction or repair of Navy submarines that--
       (A) was entered into between fiscal years 1974 and 1998; 
     and
       (B) has no further supply or services deliverables due 
     under the terms and conditions of the contract;
       (2) with respect to which the Secretary of the Navy has 
     established the total final contract value; and
       (3) with respect to which the Secretary of the Navy has 
     determined that the final allowable cost may have a negative 
     or positive unliquidated obligation balance for which it 
     would be difficult to determine the year or type of 
     appropriation because--
       (A) the records for the contract have been destroyed or 
     lost; or
       (B) the records for the contract are available but the 
     contracting officer, in collaboration with the certifying 
     official, has determined that a discrepancy is of such a 
     minimal value that the time and effort required to determine 
     the cause of an out-of-balance condition is disproportionate 
     to the amount of the discrepancy.
       (c) Closeout Terms.--The contracts described in subsection 
     (b) may be closed out--
       (1) upon receipt of $581,803 from the contractor to be 
     deposited into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts;
       (2) without seeking further amounts from the contractor; 
     and
       (3) without payment to the contractor of any amounts that 
     may be due under any such contracts.
       (d) Waiver Authority.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary of the Navy is authorized to 
     waive any provision of acquisition law or regulation to carry 
     out the authority under subsection (a).
       (2) Notification requirement.--The Secretary of the Navy 
     shall notify the congressional defense committees not later 
     than 10 days after exercising the authority under paragraph 
     (1). The notice shall include an identification of each 
     provision of law or regulation waived.
       (e) Adjustment and Closure of Records.--After closeout of 
     any contract described in subsection (b) using the authority 
     under this section, the payment or accounting offices 
     concerned may adjust and close any open finance and 
     accounting records relating to the contract.
       (f) No Liability.--No liability shall attach to any 
     accounting, certifying, or payment official or contracting 
     officer for any adjustments or closeout made pursuant to the 
     authority under this section.
       (g) Expiration of Authority.--The authority under this 
     section shall expire upon receipt of the funds identified in 
     subsection (c)(1).

       (1) In general.--To the maximum extent practicable, the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 
     Logistics shall ensure that--
       (A) the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 
     does not require the inclusion of contract clauses in 
     contracts for the procurement of commercial items or 
     contracts for the procurement of commercially available off-
     the-shelf items, unless such clauses are--
       (i) required to implement provisions of law or executive 
     orders applicable to such contracts; or
       (ii) determined to be consistent with standard commercial 
     practice; and
       (B) the flow-down of contract clauses to subcontracts under 
     contracts for the procurement of commercial items or 
     commercially available off-the-shelf items is prohibited 
     unless such flow-down is required to implement provisions of 
     law or executive orders applicable to such subcontracts.
       (2) Subcontracts.--In this subsection, the term 
     ``subcontract'' includes a transfer of commercial items 
     between divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of a 
     contractor or subcontractor. The term does not include 
     agreements entered into by a contractor for the supply of 
     commodities that are intended for use in the performance of 
     multiple contracts with the Department of Defense and other 
     parties and are not identifiable to any particular contract.

     specifications and standards, including for procuring new 
     systems, major modifications, upgrades to current systems, 
     non-developmental and commercial items, and programs in all 
     acquisition categories, unless no practical alternative 
     exists to meet user needs. If it is not practicable to use a 
     commercial or non-Government standard, a Government-unique 
     specification may be used.
       (b) Limited Use of Military Specifications.--
       (1) In general.--Military specifications shall be used in 
     procurements only to define an exact design solution when 
     there is no acceptable commercial or non-Government standard 
     or when the use of a commercial or non-Government standard is 
     not cost effective.
       (2) Waiver.--A waiver for the use of military 
     specifications in accordance with paragraph (1) shall be

     (Public Law 112-25) impose unacceptable limitations on the 
     budget and increase risk to the national security of the 
     United States; and

     2011 must be modified or eliminated through a bipartisan 
     legislative agreement.

     SEC. 1088. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING CONNECTICUT'S 
                   SUBMARINE CENTURY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On March 2, 1867, Congress enacted a naval 
     appropriations Act that authorized the Secretary of the Navy 
     to ``receive and accept a deed of gift, when offered by the 
     State of Connecticut, of a tract of land with not less than 
     one mile of shore front on the Thames River near New London, 
     Connecticut, to be held by the United States for naval 
     purposes''.
       (2) The people of Connecticut and the towns and cities in 
     the southeastern region of Connecticut subsequently gifted 
     land to establish a military installation to fulfil the 
     Nation's need for a naval facility on the Atlantic coast.
       (3) On April 11, 1868, the Navy accepted the deed of gift 
     of land from Connecticut to establish a naval yard and 
     storage depot along the eastern shore of the Thames River in 
     Groton, Connecticut.
       (4) Between 1868 and 1912, the New London Navy Yard 
     supported a diverse range of missions, including berthing 
     inactive Civil War era ironclad warships and serving as a 
     coaling station for refueling naval ships traveling in New 
     England waters.
       (5) Congress rejected the Navy's proposal to close New 
     London Navy Yard in 1912, following an impassioned effort by 
     Congressman Edwin W. Higgins, who stated that ``this action 
     proposed is not only unjust but unreasonable and unsound as a 
     military proposition''.
       (6) The outbreak of World War I and the enemy use of 
     submarines to sink allied military and civilian ships in the 
     Atlantic sparked a new focus on developing submarine 
     capabilities in the United States.
       (7) October 18, 1915, marked the arrival at the New London 
     Navy Yard of the submarines G-1, G-2, and G-4 under the care 
     of the tender USS Ozark and the arrival of submarines E-1, D-
     1, and D-3 under the care of the tender USS Tonopah. November 
     1, 1915, marked the arrival of the first ship built as a 
     submarine tender, the USS Fulton (AS-1).
       (8) On June 21, 1916, Commander Yeates Stirling assumed the 
     command of the newly designated Naval Submarine Base New 
     London, the New London Submarine Flotilla, and the Submarine 
     School.
       (9) In the 100 years since the arrival of the first 
     submarines to the base, Naval Submarine Base New London has 
     grown to occupy more than 680 acres along the east side of 
     the Thames River, with more than 160 major facilities, 15 
     nuclear submarines, and more than 70 tenant commands and 
     activities, including the Submarine Learning Center, Naval 
     Submarine School, the Naval Submarine Medical Research 
     Laboratory, the Naval Undersea Medical Institute, and the 
     newly established Undersea Warfighting Development Center.
       (10) In addition to being the site of the first submarine 
     base in the United States, Connecticut was home to the 
     foremost submarine manufacturers of the time, the Lake 
     Torpedo Boat Company in Bridgeport and the Electric Boat 
     Company in Groton, which later became General Dynamics 
     Electric Boat.
       (11) General Dynamics Electric Boat, its talented 
     workforce, and its Connecticut-based and nationwide network 
     of suppliers have delivered more than 200 submarines from its 
     current location in Groton, Connecticut, including the first 
     nuclear-powered submarine, the USS Nautilus (SSN 571), and 
     nearly half of the nuclear submarines ever built by the 
     United States.
       (12) The Submarine Force Museum, located adjacent to Naval 
     Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut, is the only 
     submarine museum operated by the United States Navy and today 
     serves as the primary repository for artifacts, documents, 
     and photographs relating to the bold and courageous history 
     of the Submarine Force and highlights as its core exhibit the 
     Historic Ship Nautilus (SSN 571) following her retirement 
     from service.
       (13) Reflecting the close ties between Connecticut and the 
     Navy that began with the gift of land that established the 
     base, the State of Connecticut has set aside $40,000,000 in 
     funding for critical infrastructure investments to support 
     the mission of the base, including construction of a new dive 
     locker building, expansion of the Submarine Learning Center, 
     and modernization of energy infrastructure.
       (14) On September 29, 2015, Connecticut Governor Dannel 
     Malloy designated October 2015 through October 2016 as 
     Connecticut's Submarine Century, a year-long observance that 
     celebrates 100 years of submarine activity in Connecticut, 
     including the Town of Groton's distinction as the Submarine 
     Capital of the World, to coincide with the centennial 
     anniversary of the establishment of Naval Submarine Base New 
     London and the Naval Submarine School.
       (15) Whereas Naval Submarine Base New London still proudly 
     proclaims its motto of ``The First and Finest''.
       (16) Congressman Higgins' statement before Congress in 1912 
     that ``Connecticut stands ready, as she always has, to bear 
     her part of the burdens of the national defense'' remains 
     true today.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
       (1) commends the longstanding dedication and contribution 
     to the Navy and submarine force by the people of Connecticut, 
     both through the initial deed of gift that established what 
     would become Naval Submarine Base New London and through 
     their ongoing commitment to support the mission of the base 
     and the Navy personnel assigned to it;
       (2) honors the submariners who have trained and served at 
     Naval Submarine Base New London throughout its history in 
     support of the Nation's security and undersea superiority;
       (3) recognizes the contribution of the industry and 
     workforce of Connecticut in designing, building, and 
     sustaining the Navy's submarine fleet; and
       (4) encourages the recognition of Connecticut's Submarine 
     Century by Congress, the Navy, and the American people by 
     honoring the contribution of the people of Connecticut to the 
     defense of the United States and the important role of the 
     submarine force in safeguarding the security of the United 
     States for more than a century.

     SEC. 1089. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE REPORTING OF THE 
                   MV-22 MISHAP IN MARANA, ARIZONA, ON APRIL 8, 
                   2000.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) in the report accompanying H.R. 1735 of the 114th 
     Congress (House Report 114-102), the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the House of Representatives encouraged the 
     Secretary of Defense to ``publicly clarify the causes of the 
     MV-22 mishap at Marana Northwest Regional Airport, Arizona, 
     in a way consistent with the results of all investigations as 
     soon as possible'';
       (2) the Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert O. Work did an 
     excellent job reviewing the investigations of such mishap and 
     concluded that there was a misrepresentation of facts by the 
     media which incorrectly identified pilot error as the cause 
     of the mishap which the Deputy Secretary publicly made known 
     in March 2016; and
       (3) Congress is grateful for the successful conclusion to 
     this tragic situation.

       (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the 
     ``Administrative Leave Act of 2016''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) agency use of administrative leave, and leave that is 
     referred to incorrectly as administrative leave in agency 
     recording practices, has exceeded reasonable amounts--
       (A) in contravention of--
       (i) established precedent of the Comptroller General of the 
     United States; and
       (ii) guidance provided by the Office of Personnel 
     Management; and
       (B) resulting in significant cost to the Federal 
     Government;
       (2) administrative leave should be used sparingly;
       (3) prior to the use of paid leave to address personnel 
     issues, an agency should consider other actions, including--
       (A) temporary reassignment; and
       (B) transfer;
       (4) an agency should prioritize and expeditiously conclude 
     an investigation in which an employee is placed in 
     administrative leave so that, not later than the conclusion 
     of the leave period--
       (A) the employee is returned to duty status; or
       (B) an appropriate personnel action is taken with respect 
     to the employee;
       (5) data show that there are too many examples of employees 
     placed in administrative leave for 6 months or longer, 
     leaving the employees without any available recourse to--
       (A) return to duty status; or
       (B) challenge the decision of the agency;
       (6) an agency should ensure accurate and consistent 
     recording of the use of administrative leave so that 
     administrative leave can be managed and overseen effectively; 
     and
       (7) other forms of excused absence authorized by law should 
     be recorded separately from administrative leave, as defined 
     by the amendments made by this section.

     United States commercial imagery or other United States 
     capabilities, consistent with the protection of sources and

     or over the territory of a covered state party under the Open 
     Skies Treaty, on a more timely basis.

     SEC. 1616. ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF NATIONAL SECURITY 
                   SPACE ACTIVITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) National security space capabilities are a vital 
     element of the national defense of the United States.
       (2) The advantages of the United States in national 
     security space are now threatened to an unprecedented degree 
     by growing and serious counterspace capabilities of potential 
     foreign

[[Page 14965]]

     adversaries, and the space advantages of the United States 
     must be protected.
       (3) The Department of Defense has recognized the threat and 
     has taken initial steps necessary to defend space, however 
     the organization and management may not be strategically 
     postured to fully address this changed domain of operations 
     over the long term.
       (4) The defense of space is currently a priority for the 
     leaders of the Department, however the space mission is 
     managed within competing priorities of each of the Armed 
     Forces.
       (5) Space elements provide critical capabilities to all of 
     the Armed Forces in the joint fight, however the disparate 
     activities throughout the Department have no single leader 
     that is empowered to make decisions affecting the space 
     forces of the Department.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, 
     to modernize and fully address the growing threat to the 
     national security space advantage of the United States, the

     take further action to strengthen the leadership, management, 
     and organization of the national security space activities of 
     the Department of Defense, including with respect to--
       (1) unifying, integrating, and de-conflicting activities to 
     provide for stronger prioritization, accountability, 
     coherency, focus, strategy, and integration of the joint 
     space program of the Department;
       (2) streamlining decision-making, limiting unnecessary 
     bureaucracy, and empowering the appropriate level of 
     authority, while enabling effective oversight;
       (3) maintaining the involvement of each of the Armed Forces 
     and adapting the culture and improving the capabilities of 
     the workforce to ensure the workforce has the appropriate 
     training, experience, and tools to accomplish the mission; 
     and
       (4) reviewing authorities and preparing for a conflict that 
     could extend to space.
       (c) Recommendations.--Not later than 180 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense 
     and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall 
     each separately submit to the appropriate congressional 
     committees recommendations to--
       (1) in accordance with subsection (b), strengthen the 
     leadership, management, and organization of the Department of

     Comptroller General of the United States numbered GAO-16-592R 
     regarding space acquisition and oversight of the Department 
     of Defense.

     SEC. 1671. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NUCLEAR DETERRENCE.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the nuclear forces of the United States continue to 
     play a fundamental role in deterring aggression against the 
     interests of the United States and the allies of the United 
     States in an increasingly dangerous world in which foreign 
     adversaries, including the Russian Federation, are making 
     explicit nuclear threats against the United States and such 
     allies;
       (2) strong United States nuclear forces assure the allies 
     of the United States that the extended deterrence guarantees 
     of the United States are credible and that the resolve of the 
     United States remains strong even in the face of nuclear 
     provocations, including nuclear coercion and blackmail;
       (3) the prevention of war through effective deterrence 
     requires survivable and flexible nuclear forces that are well 
     exercised and ready to respond to nuclear escalation if 
     necessary;
       (4) possessing a range of capabilities and options to 
     counter nuclear threats assures the allies of the United 
     States and enhances the credibility of United States nuclear 
     deterrence by reinforcing the resolve of the United States in 
     the minds of such allies and potential adversaries;
       (5) the declared policy of the United States with respect 
     to the use of nuclear weapons must be coordinated and 
     communicate clearly that the use of nuclear weapons against 
     the United States or its vital interests would ultimately 
     fail and subject the aggressor to incalculable consequences;
       (6) in support of a strong and credible nuclear deterrent, 
     the United States must--
       (A) maintain a nuclear force with a diverse, flexible range 
     of nuclear yield and delivery modes that are ready, capable, 
     and credible;
       (B) afford the highest priority to the modernization of the 
     nuclear triad, dual-capable aircraft, and related command and 
     control elements; and
       (C) ensure the broadest participation of allies of the 
     United States in nuclear defense planning, training, and 
     exercises to demonstrate the commitment of the United States 
     and such allies and their solidarity against nuclear threats 
     and coercion; and
       (7) with respect to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO)--
       (A) NATO has made it clear at the NATO summit in Warsaw, 
     Poland, in July 2018, that--
       (i) ``the fundamental purpose of NATO's nuclear capability 
     is to preserve peace, prevent coercion, and deter 
     aggression''; and
       (ii) ``Nuclear weapons are unique. Any employment of 
     nuclear weapons against NATO would fundamentally alter the 
     nature of a conflict. The circumstances in which NATO might 
     have to use nuclear weapons are extremely remote. If the 
     fundamental security of any of its members were to be 
     threatened however, NATO has the capabilities and resolve to 
     impose costs on an adversary that would be unacceptable and 
     far outweigh the benefits that an adversary could hope to 
     achieve.''; and
       (B) accordingly, effective deterrence requires that NATO 
     conduct realistic nuclear planning and exercises, and 
     modernize the full suite of dual-capable aircraft and 
     associated command and control networks and facilities.

     SEC. 1672. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON IMPORTANCE OF INDEPENDENT 
                   NUCLEAR DETERRENT OF UNITED KINGDOM.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States believes that the independent nuclear 
     deterrent and decision-making of the United Kingdom provides 
     a crucial contribution to international stability, the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization alliance, and the national 
     security of the United States;
       (2) nuclear deterrence is and will continue to be the 
     highest priority mission of the Department of Defense and the 
     United States benefits when the closest ally of the United 
     States clearly and unequivocally sets similar priorities;
       (3) the United States sees the nuclear deterrent of the 
     United Kingdom as central to trans-Atlantic security and to 
     the commitment of the United Kingdom to NATO to spend two 
     percent of gross domestic product on defense;
       (4) the commitment of the United Kingdom to maintain a 
     continuous at-sea deterrence posture today and in the future 
     complements the deterrent capabilities of the United States 
     and provides a credible ``second center of decision making'' 
     which ensures potential attackers cannot discount the 
     solidarity of the mutual relationship of the United States 
     and the United Kingdom;
       (5) the United States Navy must execute the Ohio-class 
     replacement submarine program on time and within budget, 
     seeking efficiencies and cost savings wherever possible, to 
     ensure that the program delivers a Common Missile 
     Compartment, the Trident II (D5) Strategic Weapon System, and 
     associated equipment and production capabilities, that 
     support the successful development and deployment of the 
     Dreadnought submarines of the United Kingdom; and
       (6) the close technical collaboration, especially expert 
     mutual scientific peer review, provides valuable resilience 
     and cost effectiveness to the respective deterrence programs 
     of the United States and the United Kingdom.

     requirements of this paragraph shall apply to a proposed 
     procurement that includes in its statement of work goods or 
     services currently being supplied or performed by a small

     sentence is adjudged; or
       ``(B) in the case of a summary court-martial, the date on 
     which the sentence is approved by the convening authority.

     sentence of a court-martial begins to run from the date the 
     sentence is adjudged by the court-martial, but periods during 
     which the sentence to confinement is suspended or deferred 
     shall be excluded in computing the service of the term of 
     confinement.

     death may not be suspended.
       ``(4) Approval of dismissal.--If in the case of a 
     commissioned officer, cadet, or midshipman, the sentence of a 
     court-martial extends to dismissal, that part of the sentence 
     providing for dismissal may not be executed until approved by 
     the Secretary concerned or such Under Secretary or Assistant 
     Secretary as may be designated by the Secretary concerned. In 
     such a case, the Secretary, Under Secretary, or Assistant 
     Secretary, as the case may be, may commute, remit, or suspend 
     the sentence, or any part of the sentence, as the Secretary 
     sees fit. In time of war or national emergency he may commute 
     a sentence of dismissal to reduction to any enlisted grade. A 
     person so reduced may be required to serve for the duration 
     of the war or emergency and six months thereafter.

     extends to death, dismissal, or a dishonorable or bad-conduct 
     discharge, that part of the sentence extending to death, 
     dismissal, or a dishonorable or bad-conduct discharge may be 
     executed, in accordance with service regulations, after 
     completion of appellate review (and, with respect to death or 
     dismissal, approval under paragraph (3) or (4), as 
     appropriate).

     martial sentence is effective when the convening authority 
     acts on the sentence.

     convening authority or, if the accused is no longer under his 
     or her jurisdiction, the officer exercising general court-
     martial jurisdiction over the command to which the accused is 
     currently assigned, may, in his or her sole discretion, defer 
     the effective date of a sentence of

     confinement, reduction, or forfeiture. The deferment shall 
     terminate upon entry of judgment or, in the case of a summary 
     court-martial, when the convening authority acts on the 
     sentence. The deferment may be rescinded at any time by the 
     officer who granted it or, if the accused is no longer under 
     his jurisdiction, by the officer exercising general court-
     martial jurisdiction over the command to which the accused is 
     currently assigned.
       ``(2) Deferral of certain persons sentenced to 
     confinement.--In any case in which a court-martial sentences 
     a person referred to in paragraph (3) to confinement, the 
     convening authority may defer the service of the sentence to 
     confinement, without the consent of that person, until after 
     the person has been permanently released to the armed forces 
     by a State or foreign country referred to in that paragraph.
       ``(3) Covered persons.--Paragraph (2) applies to a person 
     subject to this chapter who--

     which review of the case under section 867(a)(2) of this 
     title (article 67(a)(2)) is pending, the Secretary concerned 
     may defer further service of the sentence to confinement 
     while that review is pending.

       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 House to the bill (S. 2943), to authorize 
     appropriations for fiscal year 2017 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 House amendment struck all of the Senate bill after the 
     enacting clause and inserted a substitute text.
       The Senate recedes from its disagreement to the amendment 
     of the House with an amendment that is a substitute for the 
     Senate bill and the House amendment. The differences between 
     the Senate bill, the House 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 2017 was $608.0 billion. Of this amount, $524.0 
     billion was requested for base Department of Defense 
     programs, $64.6 billion was requested for overseas 
     contingency operations of which $5.1 billion was for base 
     requirements, $19.2 billion was requested for national 
     security programs in the Department of Energy and the Defense 
     Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, and $0.2 billion for the 
     Maritime Security Program.
       The conference agreement would authorize $611.2 billion in 
     fiscal year 2017, including $523.7 billion for base 
     Department of Defense programs, $67.8 billion for overseas 
     contingency operations of which $8.3 billion was for base 
     requirements, $19.4 billion for national security programs in 
     the Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear Facilities 
     Safety Board, and $0.3 billion for the Maritime Security 
     Program.
       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 
     2017 defense programs.
     Budgetary effects of this Act (sec. 4)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 4) that would 
     require that the budgetary effects of this Act be determined 
     in accordance with the procedures established in the 
     Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (title I of Public Law 
     111-139).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

     require the Secretary of the Army to improve and tailor 
     training for units equipped with the Distributed Common 
     Ground System--Army Increment 1. The provision would also 
     require the Secretary of the Army to rapidly identify and 
     field a commercially available capability that meets tactical 
     requirements, can integrate at the tactical unit level, is 
     substantially easier for personnel to use, and requires less 
     training.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would allow the 
     Secretary of Defense to waive limitations if any adversely 
     affect ongoing operational activities.

         Army (sec. 114)

     to provide an assessment to the congressional defense 
     committees by April 1, 2017, of the ways, and associated 
     costs, to reduce or eliminate shortfalls in responsiveness 
     and capacity of the following capabilities:

     commercial-off-the-shelf solutions;
       (3) Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear

     Secretary of Defense dated June 19, 2008, regarding the 
     Department of Defense policy on cluster munitions and 
     unintended harm to civilians, as well as required

                       Subtitle C--Navy Programs

     Determination of vessel delivery dates (sec. 121)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 123) that would 
     require the Secretary of the Navy to deem ship delivery to 
     occur at the completion of the final phase of construction.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 
     determination of vessel delivery dates and include such 
     determination in title 10, United States Code.
     Incremental funding for detail design and construction of LHA 
         replacement ship designated LHA 8 (sec. 122)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 121) that would 
     allow the Secretary of the Navy to enter into and 
     incrementally fund a contract for detail design and 
     construction of the LHA Replacement ship, designated LHA-8. 
     Subject to the availability of appropriations, funds for 
     payments under the contract may be provided from amounts 
     authorized to be appropriated for the Department of Defense 
     for Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy, for fiscal years 2017 
     and 2018.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     123).
       The House recedes.
     Littoral Combat Ship (sec. 123)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 122) that would 
     require an annual report on Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) 
     mission packages, a certification on the acquisition 
     inventory objective of LCS mission packages, a limitation on 
     the use of funds to revise or deviate from revision three of 
     the LCS acquisition strategy, and a repeal of a reporting 
     requirement related to LCS mission modules.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     126).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would:
       (1) Replace the limitation on the use of funds to revise or 
     deviate from revision three of the LCS acquisition strategy 
     with a requirement that the Secretary of Defense provide a 
     certification to the congressional defense committees prior 
     to a revision or deviation from revision three of the LCS 
     acquisition strategy. The conferees' intent is this 
     subsection be limited to those revisions or deviations that 
     would result in a change to: the acquisition inventory 
     objective of 40 ships, annual procurement quantities through 
     fiscal year 2021, or the planned down-select to a single LCS 
     prime contractor no later than fiscal year 2019; and
       (2) Prohibit the Secretary of Defense from selecting a 
     single contractor for the LCS or frigate program unless such 
     selection is conducted using competitive procedures, 
     performed for the purpose of constructing a frigate class 
     ship, and occurs only after a frigate design has reached 
     sufficient maturity and completeness.
     Limitation on use of sole-source shipbuilding contracts for 
         certain vessels (sec. 124)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 124) that would 
     prohibit funds from being used to enter into or prepare to 
     enter into sole source contracts for one or more Joint High 
     Speed Vessels (JHSV) or Expeditionary Fast Transports (EPF) 
     unless the Secretary of the Navy submits to the congressional 
     defense committees a certification and a report.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Limitation on availability of funds for the Advanced 
         Arresting Gear Program (sec. 125)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 125) that would 
     limit funds for the Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) to be 
     installed on USS Enterprise (CVN--80) until the Secretary of 
     Defense submits to the congressional defense committees the 
     report described under section 2433a(c)(2) of title 10, 
     United States Code, for the AAG program.
       The provision would also direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     deem the 2009 AAG acquisition program baseline as the 
     original baseline estimate and to execute the requirements of 
     sections 2433 and 2433a of title 10, United States Code, as 
     though the Department had submitted a Selected Acquisition 
     Report with this baseline estimate included. This action 
     would provide clarity on the original baseline estimate, 
     which is a necessary element of a Nunn-McCurdy review.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would:
       (1) Require the Navy to report on the AAG program in 
     accordance with section 2432 of title 10, United States Code, 
     which deals with Selected Acquisition Reports, instead of 
     reporting in accordance with section 2433a(c) (2) which deals 
     with critical cost growth in major defense acquisition 
     programs;
       (2) Add a limitation of funds for the AAG to be installed 
     on USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) unless the Milestone Decision 
     Authority (MDA) determines that AAG should be installed on 
     that ship, and the MDA submits notification of such 
     determination to the congressional defense committees;
       (3) Establish the original baseline estimate for the AAG 
     program and require the Secretary of Defense to execute the 
     requirements of sections 2433 and 2433a of title 10, United 
     States Code, but exempt the Department from having to rescind 
     the milestone decision approval for the AAG program during 
     the review required by those provisions; and
       (4) During the review required by section 2433a of title 
     10, United States Code, allow the Secretary of Defense to 
     approve contract action or actions to enter a new contract, 
     exercise an option under an existing contract, or otherwise 
     extend the scope of an existing contract under the AAG 
     program for CVN-80 only if the MDA, on a non-delegable basis, 
     were to determine that such action would be needed to 
     appropriately restructure the program as intended by the 
     Secretary of Defense.
       The conferees note that, although the AAG program is now 
     being managed as a Major Defense Acquisition Program, it 
     began more than 10 years ago as an Acquisition Category II 
     program, which limited transparency and insight of the Navy's 
     acquisition and contract management. In 2015, the Comptroller 
     General reported that the Department of Defense needed a 
     better approach to manage Acquisition Category II programs, 
     particularly those programs that have the potential to become 
     Major Defense Acquisition Programs.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Comptroller General to 
     review no fewer than five Navy aircraft launch and recovery 
     equipment (ALRE) Acquisition Category II programs to 
     determine:
       (1) The roles and responsibilities for acquiring ALRE 
     systems for major ship programs, and the relationship of 
     these programs to the Navy's overall acquisition of the ship 
     platform;
       (2) How the acquisition and contracting practices for these 
     programs compare to guidance, regulations, and best practices 
     for acquisition management;
       (3) How the Navy manages cost, schedule, and performance to 
     meet ship delivery

[[Page 15111]]

     schedules, and what mechanisms, if any, are in place to 
     periodically reassess assignment of such programs to a 
     particular acquisition category;
       (4) Recommendations to improve the Navy's performance in 
     managing ALRE and other Acquisition Category II programs; and
       (5) Any other observations of the Comptroller General.
       The conferees request a briefing to the congressional 
     defense committees no later than June 1, 2017, to be followed 
     by a report.
     Limitation on availability of funds for procurement of U.S.S. 
         Enterprise (CVN-80) (sec. 126)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 126) that would 
     limit more than 25 percent of funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for 
     fiscal year 2017 for advance procurement or procurement of 
     USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) or USS Enterprise (CVN-80) from 
     being obligated or expended until the Secretary of the Navy 
     and Chief of Naval Operations submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     limitation of funds on CVN-79 and terminate this section on 
     September 30, 2021.
     Sense of Congress on aircraft carrier procurement schedules 
         (sec. 127)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 122) that 
     would provide the sense of Congress that the Secretary of the 
     Navy's schedule to procure 1 aircraft carrier every 5 years 
     will reduce the overall aircraft carrier inventory to 10 
     aircraft carriers, a level insufficient to meet peacetime and 
     war plan requirements. The section would also recommend that 
     the Secretary begin construction for the Ford-class aircraft 
     carrier designated CVN-81 in fiscal year 2022 and align 
     advance procurement activities with this accelerated 
     programming.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     reference to CVN-81.
     Report on P-8 Poseidon aircraft (sec. 128)
       The House amendment contained a provision that would 
     require the Secretary of the Navy to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report regarding future 
     capabilities for the P-8 Poseidon aircraft.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Design and construction of replacement dock landing ship 
         designated LX(R) or amphibious transport dock designated 
         LPD-29 (sec. 129)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 124) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into and 
     incrementally fund a contract for design and construction of 
     the replacement dock landing ship designated LX(R) or the 
     amphibious transport dock designated LPD-29.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

                     Subtitle D--Air Force Programs

     EC-130H Compass Call recapitalization program (sec. 131)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (Sec. 145) that would 
     prohibit the availability of funds for the Air Force EC-130H 
     Compass Call recapitalization program unless the Air Force 
     conducts a full and open competition to acquire the 
     replacement aircraft platform.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that strikes the full 
     and open competition requirement, and authorizes the 
     Secretary of the Air Force to obligate and expend fiscal year 
     2017 funds for the purpose of re-hosting the primary mission 
     equipment of the current EC-130H Compass Call aircraft fleet 
     on to a more operationally effective and survivable airborne 
     platform to meet combatant commander requirements. The 
     amendment limits procurement to the first two aircraft of the 
     planned ten aircraft fleet until the Secretary determines 
     there is a high likelihood the program will meet the 
     requirements of the combatant commands.
       The conferees agree the restructured EC-130H Compass Call 
     program shall be implemented consistent with existing 
     authorities, including Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 
     6.3 and Department of Defense Instruction 5000.02, 
     ``Operation of the Defense Acquisition System.''
       The conferees note the fiscal year 2017 funding adjustments 
     to allow the Secretary of the Air Force to proceed with the 
     program are outlined in Division D.
     Repeal of requirement to preserve certain retired C-5 
         aircraft (sec. 132)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (Sec. 143) that would 
     repeal the requirement in Section 141 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) 
     for the Secretary of the Air Force to preserve certain 
     retired C-5 aircraft.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (Sec. 
     132).
       The Senate recedes.
     Repeal of requirement to preserve F-117 aircraft in 
         recallable condition (sec. 133)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (Sec. 144) that would 
     repeal the requirement in Section 136 of the John Warner 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 
     (Public Law 109-364; 120 Stat. 2114) to preserve F-117 
     aircraft in recallable condition.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (Sec. 
     133).
       The House recedes.
     Prohibition on availability of funds for retirement of A-10 
         aircraft (sec. 134)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (Sec. 141) that would 
     amend section 142 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) by extending the 
     prohibition on obligation or expenditure of funds to retire 
     or prepare to retire A-10 aircraft until the Secretary of the 
     Air Force and Chief of Staff of the Air Force submit a report 
     to the congressional defense committees describing their 
     views on the results of an F-35A initial operational test and 
     evaluation (IOT&E). The provision would also ensure the F-35A 
     IOT&E includes comparison tests and evaluation of the F-35A 
     and A-10C in conducting close air support, combat search and 
     rescue, and airborne forward air controller missions. The 
     provision would also require the Comptroller General of the 
     United States to provide an independent assessment of the 
     report from the Secretary and Chief of Staff.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (Sec. 
     134) that would prevent retirements of A-10 aircraft, but 
     would allow the Secretary of the Air Force to transition the 
     A-10 unit at Fort Wayne Air National Guard Base, Indiana, to 
     an F-16 unit in fiscal year 2018, as the Secretary had 
     proposed in the budget of the President for fiscal year 2017.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees agree that section (f)(2) of the House 
     provision explicitly prevents the divestment of any A-10 
     aircraft if the special rule were to be invoked.
       The conferees also agree the Comptroller General of the 
     United States shall assess the conclusions and assertions 
     contained in the Secretary's and Chief of Staff's report on 
     the F-35A IOT&E, and submit a report to the congressional 
     defense committees of such assessment not later than 90 days 
     after the Secretary's and Chief of Staff's report is 
     submitted.
       The conferees also agree the Comptroller General's report 
     shall include the following:
       (1) An assessment of whether the conclusions and assertions 
     included in the report submitted by the Secretary and Chief 
     of Staff are comprehensive, fully supported, and sufficiently 
     detailed; and
       (2) An identification of any shortcomings, limitations, or 
     other matters that affect the quality of the report's 
     findings or conclusions.
     Limitation on availability of funds for destruction of A-10 
         aircraft in storage status (sec. 135)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (Sec. 142) that would 
     prohibit the availability of funds authorized to be 
     appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for the 
     Air Force to be obligated for the purpose of scrapping, 
     destroying, or otherwise disposing of any A-10 aircraft in 
     any storage status in the Aerospace Maintenance and 
     Regeneration Group (AMARG) that have serviceable wings or 
     other components that could be used to prevent total active 
     inventory A-10 aircraft from being permanently removed from 
     flyable status due to unserviceable wings or other 
     components.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with minor technical corrections.
       The conferees agree the provision does not prevent the Air 
     Force from reclaiming any usable parts or components on A-10 
     aircraft in any storage status for the purpose of keeping 
     active inventory A-10 aircraft in flyable and mission capable 
     condition.
     Prohibition on availability of funds for retirement of Joint 
         Surveillance Target Attack Radar System aircraft (sec. 
         136)
       The House amendment contained a provision (Sec. 135) that 
     would prohibit the availability of funds for retirement of 
     Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System aircraft in 
     fiscal year 2018.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Elimination of annual report on aircraft inventory (sec. 137)
       The House amendment contained a provision (Sec. 131) that 
     would strike the requirement in Section 231a of title 10, 
     United States Code, for the Secretary of Defense to deliver 
     an annual report on the military services' aircraft inventory 
     to the congressional defense committees.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

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

     Standardization of 5.56mm rifle ammunition (sec. 141)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 146) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that the 
     Army

[[Page 15112]]

     and the Marine Corps are using in combat one standard type of 
     enhanced 5.56mm rifle ammunition not later than one year 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act with exceptions 
     that require the Secretary of Defense to certify to the 
     congressional defense committees the reasons why there are 
     different 5.56mm rounds being used in combat.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Fire suppressant and fuel containment standards for certain 
         vehicles (sec. 142)
       The House amendment contained a provision (Sec. 142) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army, or his designee, and 
     the Secretary of the Navy, or his designee, to establish and 
     maintain policy guidance regarding the establishment of, and 
     updates to, fire suppressant and fuel containment standards 
     that meet survivability requirements across various classes 
     of vehicles, including light tactical vehicles, medium 
     tactical vehicles, heavy tactical vehicles, and ground combat 
     vehicles for the Army and Marine Corps. This section would 
     also require the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of 
     the Navy to provide a report to the congressional defense 
     committees, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, that contains policy guidance for each 
     class of vehicle including armor, fire suppression systems, 
     self-sealing material and containment technologies, and any 
     other information as determined by the Secretaries.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Limitation on availability of funds for destruction of 
         certain cluster munitions (sec. 143)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (section 152) that 
     would limit the funds available for the destruction of 
     cluster munitions until the Secretary of Defense submits a 
     report on the Department's policy on, and plan for, cluster 
     munitions.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     funds for the destruction of serviceable cluster munitions, 
     but would allow the demilitarization of cluster munitions 
     determined to be unserviceable due to a significant failure 
     to meet performance or logistics requirements. Cluster 
     munitions categorized as unserviceable solely due to current 
     or amended Department of Defense policy related to cluster 
     munitions would not meet this definition of unserviceable and 
     would be subject to the limitation in this provision.
     Report on Department of Defense munitions strategy for the 
         combatant commands (sec. 144)
       The House amendment contained a provision that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on the munitions 
     strategy of the combatant commands.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would reduce the 
     time horizon for the strategy and modify the elements of the 
     required report.
     Modifications to reporting on use of combat mission 
         requirements funds (sec. 145)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 141) that 
     would amend the quarterly report requirement in section 123 
     of the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383), to sunset the 
     requirement for such reports on September 30, 2018.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change from 
     quarterly to annually the requirement for the commander of 
     U.S. Special Operations Command to submit a report on use of 
     Combat Mission Requirements funds.
     Report on alternative management structures for the F-35 
         joint strike fighter program (sec. 146)
       The Senate bill contained a provision that would 
     disestablish the F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) and devolve 
     relevant responsibilities to the Air Force and the Navy.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement to disestablish the JPO and require the Secretary 
     of Defense, no later than March 31, 2017, to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on potential 
     options for the future management of the Joint Strike Fighter 
     program.
     Comptroller General review of F-35 Lightning II aircraft 
         sustainment support (sec. 147)
       The House amendment contained a provision (Sec. 144) that 
     would direct the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     conduct an analysis of the sustainment support strategy for 
     the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Briefing on acquisition strategy for Ground Mobility Vehicle 
         (sec. 148)
       The House amendment contained a provision (Sec. 145) that 
     would direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics, in consultation with the Secretary 
     of the Army, to provide a briefing to the congressional 
     defense committees on the acquisition strategy for the ground 
     mobility vehicle.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Study and report on optimal mix of aircraft capabilities for 
         the Armed Forces (sec. 149)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (Sec. 151) that would 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to obtain an independent 
     study on the future mix of aircraft platforms for the Armed 
     Forces.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment changing the study to 
     be conducted by the Secretary of Defense rather than by an 
     independent entity, adds the congressional intelligence 
     committees as recipients of the study report, and includes 
     other minor technical corrections.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     Funding for surface-to-air missile system
       The House amendment contained a provision (Section 114) 
     that would authorize an increase in funding for Missile 
     Procurement, Army line 002, MSE missile, by $84.2 million and 
     decrease funding for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation 
     Research and Development, material management and 
     minimization, by an equal $84.2 million.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The outcome is reflected in sections 4101 and 4701 of the 
     Act.
     Procurement authority for aircraft carrier programs
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 121) that 
     would provide economic order quantity authority for the 
     construction of two Ford-class aircraft carriers and 
     incremental funding authority for the nuclear refueling and 
     complex overhaul of five Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Ship to shore connector program
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 125) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into a 
     contract for the procurement of up to 45 Ship to Shore 
     Connector vessels.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Limitation on availability of funds for Tactical Combat 
         Training System Increment II
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 127) that would 
     limit the obligation or expenditure of 25 percent of funds 
     for the Tactical Combat Training Systems (TCTS) Increment II 
     program until 60 days after the Secretary of the Navy 
     submitted the report required by section 235 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 
     114-92).
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     218) that would limit the obligation or expenditure of 20 
     percent of the funds for TCTS Increment II until the 
     Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of the Air Force provided 
     the required report.
       The conference agreement includes neither provision. 
     Because the Secretary of the Navy submitted the required 
     report in May 2016, the limitation on availability of funds 
     within these provisions is no longer applicable.
       However, the conferees remain concerned about training 
     gaps, both in live and simulated environments, for pilots in 
     fourth and fifth-generation aircraft. Pilots will have to 
     operate these aircraft with advanced weapon systems in highly 
     complex anti-access, area denial environments. The conferees 
     recognize the importance of developing higher fidelity 
     interoperable training for combat pilots using live-virtual-
     constructive (LVC) exercises. Such exercises should allow the 
     Department to simulate a broader range of threat system 
     capabilities that enable training aircraft pilots under more 
     realistic combat conditions.
       Therefore, the conferees expect the Department of Defense 
     to apply the necessary focus and resources to develop and 
     support LVC training as soon as possible.
     Prohibition on availability of funds for retirement of U-2 
         aircraft
       The House amendment contained a provision (Sec. 137) that 
     would prohibit the availability of funds for the retirement 
     of U-2 aircraft.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes. Section 133 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) 
     prohibits the Secretary of the Air Force from taking any 
     action that would prevent the Air Force from maintaining the 
     U-2 aircraft fleet in its current configuration and 
     capability beyond fiscal year 2016. The conferees agree that 
     this provision remains in full force and effect.
     Medium Altitude Intelligence, Surveillance, and 
         Reconnaissance aircraft
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 153) that would 
     prohibit the obligation or expenditure of funds for the 
     acquisition of Medium Altitude Intelligence, Surveillance,

[[Page 15113]]

     and Reconnaissance (MAISR) aircraft in fiscal year 2017 until 
     the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and 
     Low Intensity Conflict (ASD SOLIC), in consultation with the 
     Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), 
     provides the congressional defense committees with a report 
     on the manned ISR requirements of the command and how such an 
     acquisition aligns with the SOCOM ISR Roadmap.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees understand that a SOCOM analysis determined 
     that the cost avoidance of acquiring versus leasing MAISR 
     aircraft is approximately $1.3 million per month with a break 
     even return on investment of approximately 11 months. 
     However, the conferees believe that procurement of ISR 
     aircraft should not be ad hoc, but instead be a deliberate 
     acquisition informed by an analysis of alternatives that 
     fully considers changing requirements, threats, capabilities, 
     tactics, and resource constraints. Therefore, the conferees 
     direct ASD SOLIC and SOCOM to provide an interim briefing on 
     the scope, methodology and timeline for the Next Generation 
     Manned ISR Study and Analysis of Alternatives no later than 
     90 days after enactment of this Act.

         TITLE II--RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION

              Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations

     Authorization of appropriations (sec. 201)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 201) that would 
     authorize appropriations for Research, Development, Test, and 
     Evaluation at the levels identified in section 4201 of 
     division D of this Act.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     201).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.

    Subtitle B--Program Requirements, Restrictions, and Limitations

     Laboratory quality enhancement program (sec. 211)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 211) that 
     would require the establishment of a Laboratory Quality 
     Enhancement Program to support the analysis and 
     implementation of current policies, as well as make 
     recommendations for new initiatives to support the 
     improvement and enhancement of the Department of Defense's 
     Science and Technology Reinvention Laboratories. The House 
     provision would also align management of the laboratory 
     demonstration program with the Assistant Secretary of Defense 
     for Research and Engineering.
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1126) that 
     would align management of the laboratory demonstration 
     program with the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to adjust the 
     membership of the panel and to emphasize that the goal of the 
     laboratory personnel system should be to support the 
     efficient operations of those institutions.
     Modification of mechanisms to provide funds for defense 
         laboratories for research and development of technologies 
         for military missions (sec. 212)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 211) that would 
     raise the limit of funds authorized under Section 219 of the 
     Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417) up to four percent of all 
     funds available to a laboratory. The provision would also 
     eliminate the sunset date for authorization of this 
     authority.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     212) that would set the level of funding at three percent, 
     eliminate the sunset date, and allow certain federally funded 
     research and development centers to use this authority.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would set the 
     level of Section 219 funding at between two and four percent.
     Making permanent authority for defense research and 
         development rapid innovation program (sec. 213)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 212) that would 
     repeal the sunset provision of the Rapid Innovation Program 
     and make the authorization of the program permanent.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Authorization for National Defense University and Defense 
         Acquisition University to enter into cooperative research 
         and development agreements (sec. 214)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 213) that would 
     authorize the Defense Acquisition University and the National 
     Defense University to enter into cooperative agreements, 
     which involve the provision of grant money, and cooperative 
     research and development agreements with universities, not-
     for-profit institutions, and other entities to support their 
     designated missions.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Manufacturing engineering education grant program (sec. 215)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 214) that would 
     allow the Department of Defense to provide grants to 
     institutions of higher education, including technical and 
     community colleges, for the purposes of enhancing education 
     in manufacturing engineering.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with technical amendments to clarify 
     several aspects of the grant program.
     Notification requirement for certain rapid prototyping, 
         experimentation, and demonstration activities (sec. 216)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 213) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Navy to provide written 
     notification to the congressional defense committees within 
     10 days before initiating a rapid prototyping, 
     experimentation, or demonstration activity using funds from 
     PE 63382N (Navy Advanced Combat Systems Technology).
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Increased micro-purchase threshold for research programs and 
         entities (sec. 217)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 215) that would 
     increase the micro-purchase threshold in Department of 
     Defense research and laboratories activities from $3,000 to 
     $10,000. In raising the limit, this provision would allow 
     appropriate organizations, such as universities, defense 
     labs, and other performers, to facilitate easy and 
     administratively efficient purchasing of small dollar items.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to extend the increase 
     in micro-purchase threshold to all research activities 
     government-wide.
     Improved biosafety for handling of select agents and toxins 
         (sec. 218)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 214) that 
     would direct the Department of Defense to implement several 
     improvements for handling of select agents and toxins, as 
     recommended from an Army 15-6 investigative report on the 
     individual and institutional accountability for the shipment 
     of viable Bacillus Anthracis from Dugway Proving Ground. This 
     section would require the Department to implement a quality 
     assurance and quality control program for any facility 
     producing biological select agents and toxins, and for the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional 
     defense committees by February 1, 2017, on the potential 
     consolidation of facilities that work with biological select 
     agents and toxins. This section would also require the 
     Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report 
     to the congressional defense committees by September 1, 2017, 
     on the effectiveness and completeness of the Department of 
     Defense's actions taken to address the findings and 
     recommendations of the Army 15-6 investigation.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Designation of Department of Defense senior official with 
         principal responsibility for directed energy weapons 
         (sec. 219)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 216) that would 
     grant rapid acquisition authorities for directed energy 
     weapons systems to accelerate the development and fielding of 
     directed energy technology and to help offset the gains of 
     potential adversaries. The Senate provision would also 
     establish a joint directed energy program office at the 
     Department of Defense.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 220) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to designate a senior 
     official already serving within the Department of Defense as 
     a senior official with principal responsibility for the 
     development and demonstration of directed energy weapons for 
     the Department.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     senior designated official to develop a strategic roadmap for 
     the development and fielding of directed energy technology 
     and to accelerate such development and fielding. The 
     amendment would also rename the joint technology office for 
     high energy lasers to the joint directed energy transition 
     office, and would expand its mission to work with the senior 
     designated official to push the demonstration and transition 
     of directed energy systems, as well as the development of key 
     technologies.
       The conferees expect and encourage the Department of 
     Defense to use rapid acquisition authorities authorized to 
     the department in Section 806 of the Bob Stump National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 
     107-314; 10 U.S.C. 2302 note) to speed the development and 
     deployment of operational directed energy capabilities. The 
     committee believes that this provision allows the Secretary 
     of Defense to better use the range of acquisition authorities 
     already at the disposal of the department for the purposes of 
     directed energy weapons system acquisition, including:
       (1) Rapid acquisition authority provided under Section 806;
       (2) Use of other transactions authority provided under 
     section 2371 of Title 10, United States Code;

[[Page 15114]]

       (3) Simplified acquisition procedures for the acquisition 
     of commercial items; and
       (4) Authority for procurement for experimental purposes 
     provided under section 2373 of Title 10, United States Code.
     Restructuring of the distributed common ground system of the 
         Army (sec. 220)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 219) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army to restructure 
     versions of the distributed common ground system of the Army 
     after Increment 1. The Secretary of the Army shall 
     discontinue development of new software code of any component 
     of the system for which there is commercial, open source, or 
     Government off the shelf software that is capable of 
     fulfilling at least 80 percent of the system requirements; 
     and conduct a review of the acquisition strategy for the 
     program to ensure that procurement of commercial software is 
     the preferred method of meeting program requirements. The 
     Secretary of the Army shall not award any contract for the 
     development of a new component software capability if such a 
     capability is already a commercial item.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment.
       The conferees expect the Secretary of the Army to rapidly 
     execute this acquisition so as to quickly improve the field 
     performance of the existing distributed common ground system 
     for the Army, which we do not believe is adequately serving 
     the needs of units at division, brigade and battalion levels.
     Limitation on availability of funds for countering weapons of 
         mass destruction system Constellation (sec. 221)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 216) that 
     would prohibit the Department of Defense from obligating or 
     expending any funds in fiscal year 2017 for research, 
     development, and prototyping of the countering weapons of 
     mass destruction situational awareness information system, 
     known as ``Constellation.''
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit half 
     the funds available for Constellation until the Secretary of 
     Defense provides an independent review and assessment of the 
     requirements and implementation plan for this system. In 
     addition congressional defense committees shall receive 
     periodic updates prior to the completion of the review.
     Limitation on availability of funds for Defense Innovation 
         Unit Experimental (sec. 222)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 217) that 
     would limit the amount of authorized funds available to be 
     obligated or expended for the Defense Innovation Unit 
     Experimental (DIUx) to no more than 80 percent until the 
     Secretary of Defense provides a report to the congressional 
     defense committees on the charter for and the use of funds to 
     establish and expand DIUx.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would alter the 
     amount of funds subject to limitation and add additional 
     specificity to the reporting requirement.
       The conferees remain cautiously optimistic that the changes 
     to the organizational structure and functions of DIUx could 
     become important tools for the Department of Defense (DoD) to 
     engage with new and non-traditional commercial sources of 
     innovation, as well as rapidly identify and integrate new 
     technologies into defense systems. The conferees believe that 
     outreach to commercial companies, small businesses and other 
     non-traditional defense contractors, in Silicon Valley and 
     across the nation, will be a key element in all efforts at 
     modernizing defense systems and pursuing offsetting 
     technology strategies. However, the conferees are concerned 
     that investments made by DIUx to-date were not focused on 
     rapid delivery of much needed game-changing technologies. 
     Additionally, DIUx's customer base is not as diverse as 
     expected and includes organizations, such as U.S. Special 
     Operations Command, with their own acquisition authority and 
     entity established to leverage innovation. Although the 
     conferees are not opposed to any organization partnering with 
     DIUx, the conferees encourage DIUx to establish relationships 
     with services and other Department of Defense organizations 
     that do not have their own funding, authorities, and 
     innovation hubs.
       Additionally, the conferees remain concerned that in the 
     Department's rush to try something new, defense leaders have 
     not taken the time to determine how effective recent 
     organizational and management changes are before seeking a 
     rapid expansion of resources. Nor do the conferees believe 
     that the Department has postured DIUx to be successful in the 
     innovation ecosystem with partners across the Department, 
     finding ways to multiply the effectiveness and networking 
     potential of DIUx by leveraging the personnel, expertise, 
     authorities, and resources of existing successful research, 
     development, innovation, and tech transfer mechanisms. These 
     existing mechanisms include the Small Business Innovative 
     Research and Small Business Technology Transition programs, 
     the Department of Defense research laboratories, and other 
     entities that look at technology in classified settings.
       Additionally, the conferees are concerned that the 
     Department has found useful mechanisms to identify and engage 
     with new commercial entities, without making demonstrable 
     progress in reducing the acquisition and contractual barriers 
     of entry for these non-traditional providers, as well as all 
     commercial entities wishing to do business with the 
     Department. Without such progress, the conferees are 
     concerned that these non-traditional vendors will become 
     frustrated over time, as has happened in the past, and will 
     revert back to a posture that, at best, reluctantly partners 
     in defense work, and at worst, actively rejects all work with 
     the Department of Defense because the acquisition system is 
     too burdensome and bureaucratic.
     Limitation on availability of funds for Joint Surveillance 
         Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) recapitalization 
         program (sec. 223)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (Sec. 146) that would 
     limit the availability of fiscal year 2017 and beyond funds 
     for the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System 
     recapitalization program unless the contract for engineering 
     and manufacturing development uses a firm fixed price 
     contract structure.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that provides the 
     Secretary of Defense with authority to waive the limitation 
     in the provision if the Secretary determines the waiver is in 
     the national security interests of the United States, and 
     includes other minor technical corrections.
       The conferees note that to ensure the integrity of the full 
     and open competition nature of this program, they caution the 
     Air Force to guard against the potential prejudicing of this 
     source selection by other Air Force recapitalization 
     programs.
     Acquisition program baseline and annual reports on follow-on 
         modernization program for F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (sec. 
         224)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1087) that 
     would require the Department of Defense to treat the F-35 
     Follow-on Modernization program as a separate Major Defense 
     Acquisition Program (MDAP).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement to treat the Follow-on Modernization program as a 
     separate MDAP and require the Secretary of Defense, not later 
     than March 31, 2017, to submit to the congressional defense 
     committees a report that contains the basic elements of an 
     acquisition program baseline for Block 4 modernization.

                 Subtitle C--Reports and Other Matters

     Strategy for assured access to trusted microelectronics (sec. 
         231)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 231) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and 
     implement a strategy for developing and acquiring trusted 
     microelectronics from various sources by 2020. The House 
     provision would further require the Secretary of Defense to 
     certify by September 30, 2020, that the Department has 
     implemented the recommendations of the strategy, and has 
     created an assured means of accessing sufficient supply of 
     trusted microelectronics.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add 
     additional elements to the required strategy.
     Pilot program on evaluation of commercial information 
         technology (sec. 232)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 232) that 
     would require the Defense Information Systems Agency to 
     establish a pilot program to evaluate commercially available 
     information technology tools to better understand and 
     characterize their potential impact on Department of Defense 
     networks and computing environments through prototyping, 
     experimentation, operational demonstration, military user 
     assessment, or other means to get quantitative and 
     qualitative feedback on the commercial item.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Pilot program for the enhancement of the research, 
         development, test, and evaluation centers of the 
         Department of Defense (sec. 233)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 948) that would 
     allow directors of Department of Defense research and 
     development laboratories, as well as the director of the 
     Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to waive on a 
     temporary basis regulations, instructions, publications, 
     policies, and procedures of the Department of Defense as the 
     director believes appropriate.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     233) that would allow the services to demonstrate methods for 
     the more effective development of research, development, 
     test, and evaluation functions.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine 
     features of both provisions and create a pilot program open 
     to research and development laboratories, test

[[Page 15115]]

     and evaluation centers, and the Defense Advanced Research 
     Projects Agency. The amended provision would allow directors 
     of these entities to waive on a temporary basis any 
     regulation, restriction, requirement, guidance, policy, 
     procedure, or departmental instruction that would generate 
     greater value and efficiencies in research and development 
     activities, enable more efficient and effective operations, 
     and enable more rapid deployment of warfighter capabilities.
       In this provision, the conferees expect the secretaries of 
     the services to ensure that participation in the program 
     includes at least five science and technology reinvention 
     laboratories and at least five test and evaluation centers 
     from each service with the highest likelihood to use 
     innovatively the authority for this new management 
     flexibility to demonstrate the value for the entire 
     Department.
       In addition, the conferees expect that the assistant 
     secretaries of the services will work with their appropriate 
     counterparts within the services to complete evaluation of 
     waiver requests in a timely and responsive manner.
     Pilot program on modernization and fielding of 
         electromagnetic spectrum warfare systems and electronic 
         warfare capabilities (sec. 234)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 897) that would 
     stipulate that funds for electromagnetic spectrum warfare 
     systems and EW systems may be used for the development and 
     fielding of such systems. The provision would also amend 
     section 806(c)(1) of the Bob Stump National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-314) 
     to add a new subparagraph addressing the rapid acquisition of 
     electronic warfare capabilities.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 234) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot 
     program on the modernization of electromagnetic spectrum 
     warfare systems and electronic warfare (EW) systems. The 
     House provision would direct the Electronic Warfare Executive 
     Committee (EWEC) to select a total of five such systems 
     currently in sustainment for modernization under the pilot 
     program.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would including 
     fielding of EW systems, increases the number of systems to be 
     selected for the pilot program from 5 to 10, adds a 
     termination date of September 30, 2023 to the pilot program, 
     and authorizes appropriated electromagnetic spectrum warfare 
     and electronic warfare funds to be used for the development 
     and fielding of electromagnetic spectrum warfare systems and 
     electronic warfare capabilities.

         to federally funded research and development centers 
         (sec. 235)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 218) that would 
     permit the Department of Defense to provide personnel of a 
     Defense federally-funded research and development center with 
     access to sensitive information necessary to carry out their 
     assigned duties and functions.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to clarify certain 
     elements of the program and further prevent any unauthorized 
     disclosure of sensitive information.
     Pilot program on enhanced interaction between the Defense 
         Advanced Research Projects Agency and the service 
         academies (sec. 236)

     authorize appropriations for operation and maintenance 
     activities at the levels identified in section 4301 of 
     division D of this Act.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     301).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.

                 Subtitle B--Energy and the Environment

     Modified reporting requirement related to installations 
         energy management (sec. 311)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 302) that would

     Explosive Ordnance Disposal Corps
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 341) that 
     would amend section 3063 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     add Explosive Ordnance Disposal Corps to the list of Army 
     branches.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

     Development of personal protective equipment for female 
         Marines and soldiers
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 344) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Navy and the Commandant of 
     the Marine Corps to work in coordination with the Secretary 
     of the Army to develop a joint acquisition strategy to 
     provide more effective personal protective equipment and 
     organizational clothing and equipment to meet the specific 
     and unique requirements for female Marines and soldiers.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

       The conferees note that both the committee report (H. Rept. 
     114-537) accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2017 and the committee report (S. Rept. 114-
     255) accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2017 contained directive report language 
     requiring the Secretary of Defense to report on the plans for 
     programming, budgeting, requirements, and procurement of 
     female specific equipment including helmets, combat clothing, 
     body armor, footwear, and other critical safety item 
     equipment categories. The conferees remained concerned that 
     currently available items of personal protective equipment 
     (PPE) and organizational clothing and individual equipment 
     (OCIE) may not meet the specific and unique requirements for 
     female combat troops. The conferees expect the Secretary of

     requirements.

       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, not later 
     than March 1, 2017, to provide the congressional defense 
     committees with a briefing on the well drilling capabilities 
     of active duty and reserve forces. The briefing should

     and reserve units with well-drilling capabilities, the 
     locations at which such units conduct training related to 
     well-drilling, and the cost of feasibility of rotating

     would express a sense of Congress that an adequately 
     supported, full-time support force consisting of active and 
     reserve personnel and military technicians for the Army 
     National Guard is essential to maintaining the readiness of 
     the Army National Guard.

       The House recedes.

                   Title V--Military Personnel Policy

                  Subtitle A--Officer Personnel Policy

     Reduction in number of general and flag officers on active 
         duty and authorized end strength after December 31, 2022, 
         of such general and flag officers (sec. 501)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 501) that would 
     add a new section 525a to title 10, United States Code, to 
     establish the authorized distribution of general and flag 
     officers for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force and 
     to require a 25 percent reduction in the number of general 
     and flag officers in the military departments. The provision 
     would also sunset the authorized distribution of general and 
     flag officers in section 525 of title 10, after December 31, 
     2017.
       The amendment would add a new section 526a to title 10, 
     United States Code, to limit the number of general and flag 
     officers on Active Duty in the military departments and to 
     exclude from those limits the specified number of general and 
     flag officers serving in joint duty assignments and to 
     require a 25 percent reduction in the number of general and 
     flag officers in the military departments and the joint pool. 
     The provision would also sunset the authorized distribution 
     of general and flag officers in section 526 of title 10, 
     after December 31, 2017.
       The amendment would add a new section 12004a to title 10 
     United States Code, to require a 25 percent reduction in the 
     number of general and flag officers in active status in the 
     reserve component, including general officers of the National 
     Guard of the States and territories and general officers 
     serving in the National Guard Bureau, but excluding officers 
     serving as adjutants general or assistant adjutants general 
     of a state. The provision would also sunset the authorized 
     distribution of general and flag officers in section 12004 of 
     title 10, after December 31, 2017.
       The House amendment included a provision (sec. 910) that 
     would amend section 164(e) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to specify that the grade of an officer serving as commander 
     of a service or functional component command shall be no 
     higher than lieutenant general or vice admiral. The provision 
     would further require that the total number of officers in 
     the grade of general or admiral on active duty be reduced by 
     five positions, and to require a report to the congressional 
     defense committees on the Department's plan to implement 
     those reductions.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would create a new 
     section 526a of title 10, United States Code, to establish 
     authorized end strength of general and flag officers, to 
     reflect a reduction of 110 general and flag officers on 
     active duty by not later than December 31, 2022, and to 
     redistribute authorized general and flag officers across the 
     military departments and the joint pool.
       The amendment would require the Secretary of Defense to 
     conduct a study of general and flag officer requirements with 
     a goal of identifying and justifying each general or flag 
     officer position in terms of overall force structure, scope 
     of responsibility, command and control requirements, and 
     force readiness execution and to identify an additional 10 
     percent reduction in the number of general and flag officers 
     above the reduction of 110 billets. The results of the study 
     shall be submitted to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives no later than April 
     1, 2017. If practicable, an interim report shall be submitted 
     to the Committees on Armed Forces of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives on the progress of the completion of the 
     study and recommendations for achieving the additional 10% 
     reductions in the number of general and flag officer 
     positions.
       The provision would also require the Secretary of Defense 
     to submit to Congress with the budget for the Department of 
     Defense for fiscal year 2019 a plan to achieve the reduction 
     of 110 general and flag officers and the proposed 
     distribution of authorized general and flag officer positions 
     to achieve prescribed levels by December 31, 2022. Progress 
     reports on implementing the required plan for reductions 
     would be required with the budget of the Department of 
     Defense for fiscal years 2020, 2021, and 2022. The provision 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to revise applicable 
     guidance of the Department of Defense on general and flag 
     officer authorizations not later than 120 days after 
     completion of the plan to ensure that the reductions required 
     under this provision are incorporated into the planning for 
     executing promotions by the military departments, to ensure 
     that resulting grades for general and flag officers are 
     uniformly applied to positions of similar duties and 
     responsibilities across the military departments and the 
     joint pool, and that planning achieves a reduction in 
     headquarters functions and administrative and support 
     activities and staff of the Department of Defense and the 
     military departments.
       The provision would provide for an orderly transition for 
     officers recently assigned to positions that would be 
     eliminated and to require notification to Congress for any 
     affected officer who, by December 31, 2022, has not completed 
     24 months in a position to be eliminated who may be allowed 
     to complete at least 24 months in such position. The 
     provision would also require certification to accompany all 
     nominations of officers to a grade above O-6, forwarded by 
     the President to the Senate for appointment, by and with 
     advice and consent of the Senate, that the appointment will 
     not interfere with achieving the reduction of 110 general and 
     flag officers required by the provision.
       The conferees note that despite two decades of 
     Congressional concern the Department of Defense and the 
     military departments have not demonstrated the willingness to 
     implement even the reduction in the number of general and 
     flag officer positions directed by the Secretary of Defense's 
     Track Four Efficiencies Initiatives decision of

[[Page 15121]]

     March 14, 2011. In the context of the Department of Defense's 
     continued requests to reduce military end strength, 
     especially in the Army and the Marine Corps, reductions that 
     Congress has cautiously considered and authorized, the time 
     has come for the Department to rigorously evaluate and 
     validate every general and flag officer position. The 
     conferees believe that an additional 10% reduction in the 
     number of general and flag officer positions may be 
     appropriate by downgrading or eliminating positions in 
     addition to the 110 positions required to be eliminated under 
     this provision are achieved. The conferees expect that the 
     Department of Defense and the military departments will 
     improve efficiency by eliminating bloated headquarters and 
     staffs while preserving the necessary number and grades of 
     positions for general and flag officers who are responsible 
     to train and lead our Nation's forces in battle and to bring 
     them safely home again. The conferees expect that the 
     leadership of the Department of Defense and the military 
     departments will approach this effort with the seriousness of 
     conviction that our men and women in uniform, and the 
     American people deserve.
     Repeal of statutory specification of general or flag officer 
         grade for various positions in the Armed Forces (sec. 
         502)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 502) that would 
     amend or repeal various statutory specifications in title 10, 
     United States Code, to remove the requirement that an officer 
     serving must hold a specified general or flag officer grade 
     for certain positions in the Armed Forces.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     statutory general officer grade requirement associated with 
     the Surgeon General of the Navy and the Surgeon General of 
     the Air Force to conform with the elimination of the grade 
     requirements for the Surgeon General of the Army. The 
     amendment would also remove the entitlement of the Assistant 
     Judge Advocate Generals of the Navy to receive retired pay 
     for the grade of rear admiral (lower half) unless the officer 
     is authorized the pay under another provision of law.
       The conferees note that the provision would not affect the 
     grade of an officer currently serving in the positions and 
     would not prohibit the positions from being filled by an 
     officer with the same, or a higher, or lower grade than the 
     law currently requires.
     Number of Marine Corps general officers (sec. 503)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 501) that 
     would amend sections 525 and 526 of title 10, United States 
     Code, to authorize an increase in the number of general 
     officers in the grade above major general from 15 to 17, 
     decrease the number of general officers in the grade of major 
     general from 23 to 22, and increase the number of deputy 
     commandants within the Marine Corps from 6 to 7.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Promotion eligibility period for officers whose confirmation 
         of appointment is delayed due to nonavailability to the 
         Senate of probative information under control of non-
         Department of Defense agencies (sec. 504)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 506) that would 
     amend section 629(c) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     provide that the period for promotion eligibility of an 
     officer would not expire during the period when the Senate is 
     unable to obtain information necessary to give its advice and 
     consent to the appointment concerned because the information 
     is under control of a department or agency of the Federal 
     Government other than the Department of Defense.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Continuation of certain officers on active duty without 
         regard to requirement for retirement for years of service 
         (sec. 505)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 509) that would 
     amend chapter 36 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize service secretaries to allow officers in a grade 
     above O-4 who are serving in military occupational 
     specialties designated by the secretary to remain on Active 
     Duty for up to 40 years of active service.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Equal consideration of officers for early retirement or 
         discharge (sec. 506)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 502) that 
     would amend section 638a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the secretaries of the military departments to 
     convene boards to consider officers for involuntary 
     separation below the grade of lieutenant colonel or commander 
     as a single, consolidated year group without distinctions 
     based on retirement eligibility and to align separation 
     boards for such officers with the practices for promotion 
     selection boards.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Modification of authority to drop from rolls a commissioned 
         officer (sec. 507)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 503) that 
     would amend section 1161(b) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to authorize the Secretary of Defense, or the Secretary of 
     the department in which the Coast Guard is operating when it 
     is not operating in the Navy, to drop from the rolls of any 
     armed force any commissioned officer (1) who has been absent 
     without authority for at least three months, (2) who may be 
     separated under section 1167 of title 10, United States Code, 
     by reason of a sentence to confinement adjudged by a court-
     martial, or (3) who is sentenced to confinement in a Federal 
     or State penitentiary or correctional institution after 
     having been found guilty of an offense by a court other than 
     a court-martial or other military court, and whose sentence 
     has become final.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

         flexibility for officer personnel management (sec. 508)

     would:
       (a) amend section 4403(i) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102-484) 
     to extend Temporary Early Retirement Authority through 
     December 31, 2025;
       (b) amend section 638a(a)(2) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to extend through December 31, 2025 authority for 
     service secretaries to manage authorized officer personnel 
     strength by shortening the period of continuation of service 
     by officers on Active Duty, to authorize involuntary early 
     retirement for certain officers on Active Duty, and to

     eligible for retirement;
       (c) amend section 1175a(k)(1) of title 10, United States 
     Code to extend through December 31, 2025 authority to provide

     to carry out a pilot program to improve the ability of the 
     Army and Air Force to recruit cyber professionals.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     the secretaries of the military departments to conduct pilot 
     programs to recruit and confer original appointments to 
     qualified individuals as commissioned officers in a cyber 
     specialty. Pilot programs established under this provision 
     may commence on or after January 1, 2017, and shall terminate 
     no later than December 31, 2022. Each Secretary of a military 
     department who conducts a pilot program under this provision

     possessions of the United States as a primary duty.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees expect the Air Force to devise a solution to

     urge the Air Force to consider solutions as part of the 
     ongoing duty status review.

       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 532) that would 
     modify section 701 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize up to 12 weeks of leave to be allowed in the case 
     of a servicemember who is the primary caregiver in the case 
     of the birth of a child or the adoption of a child. In the 
     case of leave taken following the birth of a child, the 
     availability of primary caregiver leave would commence after 
     completion of medical convalescent leave resulting from the 
     birth of such child. The provision would also increase the 
     amount of uncharged leave authorized for a secondary 
     caregiver in the case of the birth of a child or the adoption 
     of child. The provision would authorize 21 days of uncharged 
     leave for a birth parent or an adoptive parent who is the 
     secondary caregiver. The provision would repeal subsections 
     of section 701 relating to spouse and adoption leave as 
     obsolete. The provision would require the Secretary of 
     Defense to prescribe in regulation definitions of eligible 
     primary and secondary caregivers for the purposes of this 
     benefit, and to establish regulations for requesting and 
     approving uncharged leave associated with births to a 
     military family, and with adoptions by a military family, and 
     would allow a military member to accept a 1-week extension of 
     a servicemember's military service obligation for every week 
     of such leave approved and taken. The implementing 
     regulations would authorize the secretary concerned to waive 
     service obligation extensions related to this leave as an 
     incentive for re-enlistments.
       The provision would also create a new section 704a of title 
     10, United States Code, which would prohibit leave to be 
     authorized, granted or assigned, including uncharged leave, 
     unless expressly authorized by law. The committee considers 
     this provision necessary to clarify that military leave is 
     established by law and may not be created without express 
     congressional authority.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 529) that 
     would amend chapter 40 of title 10, United States Code, by 
     adding a new section 701a which would authorize 14 days of 
     leave to a member of the Armed Forces who becomes a parent 
     when that member's spouse gives birth. The provision would 
     also amend section 701 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize 36 days of leave, to be shared between two members 
     of the Armed Forces who are married to each other and adopt a 
     child.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 522) that 
     would amend section 701(i) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to provide one servicemember up to 21 days of leave and 
     another servicemember up to 14 days of leave for the adoption 
     of a child for dual-military couples of the Armed Forces.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize up 
     to 12 weeks of total leave, including up to six weeks of 
     medical convalescent leave, to be used by a servicemember who 
     is the primary caregiver in connection with the birth of a 
     child. The provision would authorize additional medical 
     convalescent leave when specifically recommended, in writing, 
     by the medical provider of the servicemember to address a 
     diagnosed medical condition and when approved by the 
     servicemember's commander. The provision would authorize up 
     to six weeks of leave for the primary caregiver in the case 
     of the adoption of a child, to be used in connection with the 
     adoption. The provision would authorize up to 21 days of 
     leave for the secondary caregiver in the case of the birth of 
     a child or adoption. The provision would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to prescribe in regulation definitions 
     of eligible primary and secondary caregivers for the purposes 
     of this benefit, and to establish regulations for requesting 
     and approving uncharged leave associated with births to a 
     military family, and with adoptions by a military family, and 
     would allow a military member to accept a 1-week extension of 
     a servicemember's military service obligation for every week 
     of such leave approved and taken. The implementing 
     regulations would authorize the secretary concerned to waive 
     service obligation extensions related to this leave as an 
     incentive for re-enlistments. The provision would also create 
     a new section 704a of title 10, United States Code, that 
     would prohibit leave to be authorized, granted, or assigned, 
     including uncharged leave, unless expressly authorized by 
     law.
     Transfer of provision relating to expenses incurred in 
         connection with leave canceled due to contingency 
         operations (sec. 522)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 533) that would 
     relocate the authority to reimburse members of the Armed 
     Forces for expenses incurred in connection with leave 
     cancelled due to contingency operations from section 453 of 
     title 37, United States Code, to title 10, United States 
     Code.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Expansion of authority to execute certain military 
         instruments (sec. 523)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 552) that would 
     amend section 1044d of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize a person authorized to act as a notary under 
     section 1044a of title 10, United States Code, or a state-
     licensed notary employed by a military department or the 
     Coast Guard, who is supervised by a military legal assistance 
     counsel, to notarize military testamentary instruments. The 
     provision would also amend section 1044a(b) to authorize all 
     civilian paralegals serving at military legal assistance 
     offices, supervised by a military legal assistance counsel, 
     to act as a notary.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     524).
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Medical examination before administrative separation for 
         members with post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic 
         brain injury in connection with sexual assault (sec. 524)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 554) that would 
     amend section 1177(a)(1) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require that a member of the Armed Forces who was sexually 
     assaulted within 24 months prior to a proposed administrative 
     separation under conditions other than honorable, including 
     an administrative separation in lieu of court-martial, and 
     who is diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder or 
     traumatic brain injury by a physician, clinical psychologist, 
     psychiatrist, licensed clinical social

     worker, or psychiatric advanced practice registered nurse as 
     experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic 
     brain injury or who otherwise reasonably alleges, based on 
     the service of the member sexually assaulted, the influence 
     of such a condition, may not be separated until the results 
     of the medical examination have been reviewed by appropriate 
     authorities responsible for evaluating, reviewing, and 
     approving the separation case, as determined by the Secretary 
     concerned.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Reduction of tenure on the temporary disability retired list 
         (sec. 525)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 534) that would 
     amend section 1210 of title 10, United States Code, to reduce 
     the maximum tenure for servicemembers placed on the Temporary 
     Disability Retired List (TDRL), due to an injury or illness 
     eligible for disability retirement, from 5 years to 3 years. 
     The committee notes that this provision addresses a 
     recommendation from the Government Accountability Office in 
     2009 for Congress to shorten the maximum tenure for placement 
     on the TDRL.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Technical correction to voluntary separation pay and benefits 
         (sec. 526)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 525) that 
     would amend section 1175a of title 10, United States Code, by 
     updating the references to section 502(f) of title 32, United 
     States Code, and the list of involuntary mobilization 
     authorities.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Consolidation of Army marketing and pilot program on 
         consolidated Army recruiting (sec. 527)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1092) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army to consolidate within 
     the Army Marketing Research Group all functions relating to 
     the marketing of the Army and each of the components of the 
     Army in order to assure unity of effort and cost 
     effectiveness in the marketing of the Army and each of the 
     components of the Army.
       The House amendment contained a related provision (sec. 
     527) that would require the Secretary of the Army to 
     establish a pilot program to consolidate the recruiting 
     efforts of the Regular Army, Army Reserve, and Army National 
     Guard under which a recruiter in one of the components 
     participating in the pilot program may recruit individuals to 
     enlist in any of the components regardless of the funding 
     source of the recruiting activity.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     combine both provisions.

Subtitle D--Member Whistleblower Protections and Correction of Military 
                                Records

     Improvements to whistleblower protection procedures (sec. 
         531)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 961) that would 
     make numerous amendments to section 1034 of title 10, United 
     States Code, to clarify and expand the types of adverse 
     personnel actions prohibited under the military whistleblower 
     protection program, to include retaliatory investigations and 
     failures of superiors to respond to retaliatory actions in 
     certain circumstances, as prohibited personnel actions 
     reviewable under that statute. The provision would also 
     require inspectors general (IG) to notify the secretary 
     concerned if, during the IG's preliminary investigation, the 
     IG determined there were reasonable grounds to believe that a 
     prohibited personnel action occurred, and that the action 
     would result in an immediate hardship to the service member, 
     and would authorize the secretary concerned to take action, 
     as appropriate, in such cases. The provision would require an 
     IG to provide periodic updates to whistleblowers on the 
     progress of investigations, to include an estimate of the 
     time remaining until an investigation was complete. Finally, 
     the provision would require the Department of Defense 
     Inspector General, within 1 year of enactment of this Act, to 
     prescribe uniform standards for the conduct of military 
     whistleblower investigations and for the training of staffs 
     conducting such investigations.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Modification of whistleblower protection authorities to 
         restrict contrary findings of prohibited personnel action 
         by the Secretary concerned (sec. 532)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 962) that would 
     amend section 1034 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     clarify that when the secretary of the military department 
     concerned receives a report from an inspector general that 
     substantiates that a prohibited personnel action occurred, 
     the secretary may consider whether to take corrective action 
     but may not make a determination in such cases that a 
     prohibited personnel action did not occur.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Availability of certain correction of military records and 
         discharge review board information through the Internet 
         (sec. 533)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 536) that would 
     amend section 1552 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require that a board convened to consider a claim for 
     correction of military records by a former servicemember (1) 
     who had been deployed in support of contingency operation and 
     who was subsequently diagnosed as experiencing post-traumatic 
     stress disorder (PTSD) or traumatic brain injury (TBI), or 
     (2) who was diagnosed while serving in the military as 
     experiencing a mental health disorder include a clinical 
     psychologist or psychiatrist, or a physician with training on 
     mental health issues connected with PTSD or TBI. The proposal 
     would require the military department concerned, or the 
     Department of Homeland Security, to make available to the 
     public on an Internet website information regarding claims 
     considered by the service board for correction of military 
     records in a calendar quarter.
       The Senate bill would also modify section 1553 of title 10, 
     United States Code, to require similar information be made 
     available to the public on an Internet website information 
     regarding claims considered by the service discharge review 
     boards in a calendar quarter.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement that boards for correction of military records 
     considering dismissal or discharge of an individual who was 
     diagnosed while serving in the military as experiencing a 
     mental health disorder include a clinical psychologist or 
     psychiatrist, or a physician with training on mental health 
     issues connected with PTSD or TBI, and would modify the 
     information required to be made available to the public on an 
     Internet website.
       The conferees note that section 1552(g) of title 10, United 
     States Code, already requires that any medical advisory 
     opinion issued with respect to a member or former member of 
     the armed forces who was diagnosed while serving in the armed 
     forces as experiencing a mental health disorder shall include 
     the opinion of a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist if the 
     request for correction of records concerned relates to a 
     mental health disorder.
     Improvements to authorities and procedures for the correction 
         of military records (sec. 534)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 963) that would 
     amend section 1552(a) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require that boards for correction of military records 
     (BCMRs) notify claimants of what specific information or 
     documents are needed to make their claim reviewable by the 
     board, if such information or documents are missing, and 
     would require the BCMR to make reasonable efforts to obtain 
     missing records when they cannot be obtained by a claimant. 
     The provision would require the BCMR to consider any request 
     for reconsideration of a determination of a BCMR when new 
     information is provided by a claimant, not previously 
     considered. The provision would reaffirm that claimants may 
     seek judicial review of BCMR decisions, and would require 
     BCMRs to publish final decisions with personally identifiable 
     information redacted. The provision would require each 
     secretary concerned to develop, within 1 year of enactment of 
     this Act, a comprehensive training curriculum for members of 
     BCMRs, and would require the Secretary of Defense and 
     Secretary of Homeland Security to ensure such curricula are 
     uniform. Finally, the provision would require each secretary 
     concerned to submit to Congress within 18 months of enactment 
     a report setting forth the training curriculum established 
     under this section.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that does not include 
     the provision on judicial review of BCMR decisions.
     Treatment by discharge review boards of claims asserting 
         post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury 
         in connection with combat or sexual trauma as a basis for 
         review of discharge (sec. 535)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 536A) that 
     would amend section 1553(d) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to require discharge review boards to review medical evidence 
     of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs or a civilian health 
     care provider presented by a former member of the Armed 
     Forces, and to grant liberal consideration to claims by a 
     former member of the Armed Forces that post-traumatic stress 
     disorder or traumatic brain injury potentially contributed to 
     the circumstances resulting in a less favorable 
     characterization of discharge. An application for relief that 
     may be reviewed under this provision includes matters 
     relating to post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain 
     injury related to combat or military sexual trauma, as 
     determined by the Secretary concerned.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.

       The House recedes.
     Comptroller General of the United States review of integrity 
         of Department of Defense whistleblower program (sec. 536)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 964) that would 
     require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     conduct an assessment of the integrity of the Department of 
     Defense (DOD) whistleblower program, to include an assessment 
     of the extent to which the DOD whistleblower program meets 
     executive branch policies and goals for whistleblower 
     protections, the adequacy of procedures to address 
     whistleblower complaints submitted by employees of the Office 
     of the Inspector General of the Department of Defense (OIG), 
     the extent to which there have been violations of 
     confidentiality standards, the extent to which there have 
     been retaliatory investigations within OIG, the extent to 
     which whistleblower complaints against Senate-confirmed 
     civilian officials of DOD have been substantiated and 
     reported to Congress in the past 10 years, and the ability of 
     the inspectors general of DOD and the military services to 
     access agency information necessary to the execution of their 
     duties, including classified and other sensitive information, 
     and of the adequacy of security procedures to safeguard such 
     information. The provision would require the Comptroller 
     General to report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and House of Representatives within 1 year of 
     enactment of this Act on the results of this review.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Comptroller General to submit the report within 18 months 
     from enactment of this Act.

       Subtitle E--Military Justice and Legal Assistance Matters

     United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (sec. 
         541)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 553) that would 
     amend sections 942 and 936 of title 10, United States Code 
     (Articles 142 and 136 of the Uniform Code of Military 
     Justice) to modify the terms of two civilian judges of the 
     United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (``the 
     court'') to avoid disruption that may occur to the operations 
     of the court when two judicial vacancies occur 
     simultaneously. The provision would modify the daily rate of 
     compensation for senior judges performing judicial duties 
     with the court so that they would be paid the difference 
     between the pay of a judge of the court and their federal 
     retired pay, consistent with the process employed by the 
     United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia 
     and the United States Bankruptcy Courts. The provision would 
     authorize the judges of the court to administer oaths in a 
     similar manner as other federal judges. The provision would 
     repeal the provision in article 142(b)(3) that precludes more 
     than three judges of the court from being from the same 
     political party.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with technical and clarifying amendments.
     Effective prosecution and defense in courts-martial and pilot 
         programs on professional military justice development for 
         judge advocates (sec. 542)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 548) that would 
     require the service secretaries to carry out a program to 
     ensure that trial and defense counsel detailed to prosecute 
     or defend a court-martial have sufficient experience and 
     knowledge to effectively prosecute or defend the case, or 
     that there is adequate supervision and oversight of the trial 
     counsel and the defense counsel to ensure effective 
     prosecution and defense in the court-martial. The provision 
     would also require service secretaries to establish and use a 
     system of skill identifiers to identify judge advocates with 
     skill and experience in military justice proceedings to 
     identify judge advocates to provide supervision and oversight 
     of less experienced judge advocates prosecuting and defending 
     in military courts-martial.
       The Senate bill also contained a provision (sec. 549) that 
     would require the secretary of each military department to 
     conduct a 5 year pilot program to assess the feasibility and 
     advisability of a career military justice litigation track 
     for judge advocates in the Armed Forces. The pilot programs 
     would include a military justice career track that leads to 
     senior judge advocates with military justice expertise in 
     prosecuting and defending complex cases in military courts-
     martial. The provision would use authority provided elsewhere 
     in this Act to suspend limitations on the number of certain 
     senior commissioned officers on active duty, under section 
     532(a) of title 10, United States Code. The provision would 
     require the use of skill identifiers to identify judge 
     advocates participating in the pilot programs. The provision 
     would also require promotion boards to give the same 
     opportunity for promotion as all other judge advocates being 
     considered for promotion. The provision would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to submit reports on the pilot programs 
     not later than 4 years after the date of enactment of this 
     Act.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 547) that 
     would require the secretary of each military department to 
     establish a career military justice litigation track for 
     judge advocates. The military justice career litigation track 
     would provide for assignment and advancement of qualified 
     judge advocates to serve in specified billets in military 
     justice trial and defense counsel, as military trial and 
     appellate judges, military justice instructors, positions in 
     the criminal law offices or divisions of the Armed Forces, 
     Special Victims Prosecutors, Victims' Legal Counsel, Special 
     Victims' Counsel, and other positions as the secretary of the 
     military department shall specify. The provision would 
     prohibit a judge advocate participating in the military 
     justice litigation career track from serving more than four 
     years of duty outside of the litigation track. The provision 
     would prohibit any adverse assessment of a judge advocate by 
     reason of participating in the litigation track. The 
     provision would require the secretary of each military 
     department to implement the career litigation track not later 
     than 18 months after enactment. It would require a report 
     from the secretaries of the military departments to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives on the progress in implementing the career 
     litigation track.
       The House receded with an amendment that would require the 
     service secretaries to establish programs for deliberate 
     professional developmental programs to ensure effective 
     prosecution and defense in all courts-martial. The amendment 
     requires the service secretaries to establish and use a 
     system of military justice experience designators or skill 
     identifiers. The amendment requires the service secretaries 
     to carry out a pilot program to assess the feasibility and 
     advisability of establishing a deliberate professional 
     development process for judge advocates that leads to 
     military justice practitioners capable of prosecuting and 
     defending complex cases in military courts-martial. Pilot 
     programs established under this provision would be for a 
     period of five years. Not later than four years after the 
     date of enactment of this Act, the secretaries concerned 
     shall submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and of the House of Representatives providing a 
     description and assessment of the pilot programs and 
     providing such recommendations as the secretary considers 
     appropriate.
     Inclusion in annual reports on sexual assault prevention and 
         response efforts of the Armed Forces of information on 
         complaints of retaliation in connection with reports of 
         sexual assault in the Armed Forces (sec. 543)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 543) that would 
     amend section 1631(b) of the Ike Skelton National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (10 U.S.C. 1561 note) 
     to require the annual report on sexual assault and response 
     efforts to include information on complaints of retaliation 
     in connection with reports of sexual assault in the Armed 
     Forces.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Extension of the requirement for annual report regarding 
         sexual assaults and coordination with release of Family 
         Advocacy Program report (sec. 544)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 551) that would 
     amend section 1631 of the Ike Skelton National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383) 
     that would extend the requirement for the annual report on 
     sexual assault in the military under that section through 
     February, 2025, and require the reports to be submitted to 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives not later than March 31 each year. The 
     provision would also clarify the scope of sexual assaults 
     covered by the report to include all reported sexual 
     assaults, regardless of the age of the offender or victim or 
     the relationship status between the offender and victim, 
     including, at a minimum, all sexual assault reports received 
     by the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, or 
     equivalent, and the Family Advocacy Program, or equivalent, 
     of each Armed Force.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 542) that 
     would extend the requirement for the annual report through 
     January 31, 2021. The provision would also require release of 
     the report to coincide with the release of the Family 
     Advocacy Program report, as required elsewhere in this Act.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would establish 
     the date by which the annual report would be provided to be

     require the Secretary of Defense to prescribe training to 
     individuals in the Department of Defense who investigate 
     claims of retaliation on the nature and consequences of 
     retaliation and, in cases involving reports of sexual 
     assault, the nature and consequences of sexual assault 
     trauma.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     546).
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Notification to complainants of resolution of investigations 
         into retaliation (sec. 547)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 541) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to prescribe regulations 
     that would require that the results of an investigation of a 
     retaliation complaint by a member of the Armed Forces be 
     reported to the member who initiated the complaint. The 
     report would inform the member whether the complaint was 
     substantiated, unsubstantiated, or dismissed. The provision 
     would also require the Secretary of Homeland Security to 
     prescribe similar regulations to report on retaliation 
     complaints by a member of the Coast Guard.

         harassment (sec. 548)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 550) that would 
     amend section 1561(i) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     modify the definition of sexual harassment. The committee is 
     concerned that the existing definition of sexual harassment 
     has caused the military services to consider sexual 
     harassment as a violation of equal opportunity policy instead 
     of an adverse behavior that data have demonstrated is on the 
     spectrum of behavior that can contribute to an increase in 
     the incidence of sexual assault.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment that would 
     clarify that the provision would amend section 1561(e) of 
     title 10, United States Code.

     would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a system 
     for collection of reports of hazing involving a member of the 
     Armed Forces. The provision would also require the 
     secretaries of the military departments, in consultation with 
     the Chief of Staff of each armed force, to improve training 
     to assist members to better recognize, prevent, and respond 
     to hazing. The amendment would also require an annual survey 
     on hazing and annual reports on hazing that include a 
     description of efforts to prevent and respond to hazing 
     incidents, to track and encourage reporting hazing incidents, 
     and to ensure consistent implementation of anti-hazing 
     policies. The reports required under this section would also 
     address elements prescribed for anti-hazing reports in 
     section 534 of the national Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2013 (P.L. 112-239).
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement that service secretaries conduct an annual survey 
     on hazing.
       The conferees are concerned that the extent of hazing 
     incidents in the armed forces is not fully known. Therefore, 
     the conferees direct that the Department of Defense include 
     questions in existing surveys of members of the Armed Forces 
     to assist in determining the prevalence of hazing incidents 
     in the Armed Forces, to assess the effectiveness of training 
     in recognizing and preventing hazing, and to determine the 
     extent to which members of the Armed Forces are aware of 
     options to report hazing incidents, including anonymous 
     report options.

     skills for military, national, and public service; (4) how to 
     increase propensity among the nation's youth for service in 
     the military, or alternatively in national or public service, 
     including how to increase the pool of qualified applicants 
     for military service; (5) the need in government to increase 
     interest, education, and employment in certain critical 
     fields, including particularly science, technology, 
     engineering, and mathematics, national security, cyber, 
     linguistics and foreign language, education, health care, and

       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 579) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to provide financial or 
     non-monetary support to qualified non-profit organizations to 
     assist those organizations in carrying out programs to 
     support attendance at a camp or camp-like setting for 
     children of military families.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     572).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement that the Secretary accord a preference in the 
     approval of applications submitted by certain organizations.
     Comptroller General of the United States assessment and 
         report on Exceptional Family Member Programs (sec. 578)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 580) 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 on the effectiveness 
     of each Exceptional Family Member Program of the Armed 
     Forces.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Comptroller General of the United States to conduct an 
     assessment on the effectiveness of each Exceptional Family 
     Member Program of the Armed Forces and to provide a report to 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives by December 31, 2017.
     Impact aid amendments (sec. 579)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 573) that would 
     amend sections 7003(b)(2)(B)(i)(I), 7003(b)(2)(B)(i)(II)(bb), 
     and 7003(b)(2)(B)(i)(IV) of the Elementary and Secondary 
     Education Act of 1965 (most recently amended by Public Law 
     114-95) to: 1) make a technical correction to the current 
     statute to prevent the inadvertent disqualification of some 
     local school districts from the Impact Aid heavily impacted 
     program whose boundaries are within the perimeter of military 
     installations; 2) provide additional time to collect data on 
     the effects to the Impact Aid heavily impacted program; and 
     3) adjust eligibility criteria to meet congressional intent.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 573) that 
     would amend section 8003(a)(5)(A) of the Elementary and 
     Secondary Education Act of 1965 (most recently amended by 
     Public Law 114-95) to authorize a provision that counts all 
     military-connected students living in military housing 
     equally to take effect immediately.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine 
     these provisions.
       The conferees intend that if a local educational agency is 
     eligible to receive a basic support payment under subclause 
     (IV) of section 7003(b)(2)(B)(i) as amended by this section 
     and the Every Student Succeeds Act then subclause (IV) takes 
     priority over other subclauses. The conferees further intend 
     that if a local educational agency is not eligible for a 
     basic support payment under subclause (IV) of section 
     7003(b)(2)(B) (i) as amended by this section and the Every 
     Student Succeeds Act but is eligible under section 7003(b)(2) 
     then the local educational agency may apply under that 
     section.

     Freedom's Sentinel, and Operation Inherent Resolve, resulting 
     from a review of valor award nominations directed by the 
     Secretary of Defense on January 7, 2016. The time waiver 
     provided under the House amendment would expire on December 
     31, 2019.
       The Senate bill had no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Authorization for award of the Medal of Honor to Gary M. Rose 
         and James C. McCloughan for acts of valor during the 
         Vietnam War (sec. 583)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 587) that would 
     waive the time limitations specified in section 3744 of title 
     10, United States Code, to authorize the President to award 
     the Medal of Honor to Gary M. Rose for acts of valor from

     amendment that would waive the time limitations specified in 
     section 3744 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize

     would authorize the Secretary of the Army to award the 
     Distinguished Service Cross to First Lieutenant Melvin M. 
     Spruiell for acts of valor while a member of the Army serving 
     in France with the 377th Parachute Field Artillery, 101st

       The House recedes.
     Review regarding award of Medal of Honor to certain Asian 
         American and Native American Pacific Islander War 
         Veterans (sec. 586)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 581) that 
     would require the Secretaries of the military departments to 
     review the service records of certain Asian American and 
     Native American Pacific Islander

[[Page 15128]]

     veterans from the Korean war and Vietnam war veterans to 
     determine if the award of the Medal of Honor is appropriate. 
     The House provision would require the services to review the 
     records of veterans who were previously awarded the 
     Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross, and the Air 
     Force Cross, and in those cases where the Secretary concerned 
     determines that the service records of those veterans support 
     the award of the Medal of Honor, this section would also 
     waive the statutory time limitations for award of the Medal 
     of Honor.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

     records identify them as an Asian American or Native American 
     Pacific Islander war veteran who was previously awarded the 
     Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross, and the Air 
     Force Cross and in those cases where the Secretary concerned 
     determines that the service records of those veterans support 
     the award of the Medal of Honor, this section would also 
     waive the statutory time limitations for award of the Medal 
     of Honor.

          Subtitle J--Miscellaneous Reports and Other Matters

     Repeal of requirement for a chaplain at the United States Air 
         Force Academy appointed by the President (sec. 591)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 595) that would 
     repeal section 9337 of title 10, United States Code, that 
     requires a chaplain at the United States Air Force Academy 
     appointed by the President. The section is not required 
     because the Air Force and the other military departments 
     already assign chaplains to the service academies under 
     existing service personnel assignment procedures.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Extension of limitation on reduction in number of military 
         and civilian personnel assigned to duty with service 
         review agencies (sec. 592)

     amend section 1559 of title 10, United States Code, to extend 
     the limitation on reducing the number of military and 
     civilian personnel assigned to duty with the service review 
     agencies through December 31, 2019.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.

         in integrating women into military occupational 
         specialties and units recently opened to women (sec. 593)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 593) that would 
     require a report to be delivered to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by 
     the Chief of Staff of the Army, the Commandant of the Marine 
     Corps, and the Commander of the United States Special 
     Operations Command annually on April 1, 2017, and each year 
     thereafter through 2021 on the progress of integrating women 
     into military occupational specialties and units recently 
     opened to women.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would narrow the 
     scope of the report and change the final report date to 2020.
     Report on feasibility of electronic tracking of operational 
         active-duty service performed by members of the Ready 
         Reserve of the Armed Forces (sec. 594)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 515) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to establish 
     electronic means for reserve component members to track 
     qualifying operational active-duty service that would enable 
     early receipt of reserve retired pay under section 12731(f) 
     of title 10, United States Code.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary to assess the feasibility of such an electronic 
     tracking system, and to provide a report to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives by 
     no later than May 1, 2017.
     Report on discharge by warrant officers of pilot and other 
         flight officer positions in the Navy, Marine Corps, and 
         Air Force currently discharged by commissioned officers 
         (sec. 595)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 597) that would 
     require the secretaries of the Navy and the Air Force to 
     submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and of the House of Representatives, not later than 
     180 days after enactment, on the feasibility and advisability 
     of having warrant officers discharge the duties of pilots and 
     other flight officer positions currently discharged by 
     commissioned officers.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Body mass index test (sec. 596)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 593) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to review the current 
     body mass index test procedure used by the Armed Forces and 
     to determine the best methods to assess body fat percentages 
     to improve the accuracy of body fat measurements.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     service secretaries to conduct the review of current body 
     mass index test procedures and other methods to measure body 
     fat with a more holistic health and wellness approach.
     Report on career progression tracks of the Armed Forces for 
         women in combat arms units (sec. 597)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 594) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a description of 
     the career progression track for entry level and laterally 
     moved female service members, both officer and enlisted, of 
     each Armed Force for positions that have been opened as a 
     result of the December 3, 2015, decision by the Secretary to 
     open all previously closed military occupations to women.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     Temporary suspension of officer grade strength tables
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 503) that would 
     amend sections 523
       (a) and 12011(a) of title 10, United States Code, to remove 
     the limitations on the total number of commissioned officers 
     authorized to serve on Active Duty or on full-time reserve 
     component duty in the pay grades of O-4 through O-6 as of the 
     end of the fiscal year for fiscal years 2017 through 2021.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees believe that providing relief from statutory 
     caps on the numbers of officers of the active and reserve 
     components serving in pay grades from O-4 to O-6, for an 
     appropriate trial period, may allow the secretaries of the 
     military departments to adjust the shape of their officer 
     corps to affect talent management-based promotion systems and 
     more quickly adapt to changing war fighting requirements and 
     available talent supply. The conferees are concerned that 
     such statutory flexibility must be exercised in a manner that 
     would promote lean, efficient, and highly effective officer 
     corps and must not result in bloated senior officer ranks 
     that impede the proper administration of the officer 
     personnel management system. Therefore, the conferees modify 
     the reporting requirement directed in the Senate report 
     accompanying section 503 of S.2943 (S. Rept. 114-255) to 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, not later than March 1, 2017, describing how 
     the military departments would propose to use the authority 
     described in section 503 of the Senate-passed bill, a 
     description of the specific categories of adjustments in 
     control grades and the number and percentages of such 
     adjustments desired, and an assessment of the impact of the 
     authority, if implemented, on the desired officer grade 
     composition of the military departments. The report shall 
     specifically address the proposed use of this authority for 
     military intelligence officers, foreign area specialists, 
     judge advocates with a military justice skill identifier, and 
     officers with expertise in cyber matters.
     Enhanced authority for service credit for experience or 
         advanced education upon original appointment as a 
         commissioned officer
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 504) that would 
     amend section 533 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize service secretaries to credit an applicant for an 
     original appointment in a commissioned grade with an amount 
     of constructive credit limited to the amount required for an 
     original appointment in the grade of colonel in the Army, Air 
     Force, or Marine Corps, or in the grade of captain in the 
     Navy. The provision would authorize the secretary concerned 
     to award constructive credit for leadership experience, 
     professional credentials, and technical expertise to directly 
     commission officers up to the grade of O-6.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that another provision of this Act would 
     authorize the military departments to conduct pilot programs 
     to commission cyber professionals. The conferees recognize 
     that the use of similar authorities to commission 
     professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and chaplains 
     continues to have great utility in providing trained 
     professionals for the military departments. It may be useful 
     to extend such authorities to branches, career fields, and 
     occupational specialties that may be designated by the 
     services as having technical or warfighter status. The 
     conferees encourage the Department of Defense to provide 
     detailed information to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and of the House of Representatives on how the 
     expanded use of such authorities may be utilized.

     Authority of promotion boards to recommend officers of 
         particular merit be placed at the top of the promotion 
         list
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 505) that would 
     amend section 616 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize an officer promotion board to recommend Active-Duty 
     officers of particular merit to be placed at the top of the 
     promotion list.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees remind the Department of Defense that the 
     Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (P.L. 114-92) 
     identified the need to review and modernize procedures to 
     select officers for promotion. The Department of Defense was 
     encouraged to develop recommendations to enhance the 
     flexibility of selection boards to identify and select 
     officers of particular merit for early promotion, using 
     procedures that all stakeholders would view as objective and 
     fair. Despite the Department's much-touted Force of the 
     Future studies, the last year saw no recommendations to 
     Congress that would provide the flexibility the Department 
     claims to need to recruit, commission, promote, and retain 
     the high quality all-volunteer force the Nation requires.
     Limitations on ordering selected reserve to active duty for 
         preplanned missions in support of the combatant commands
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 513) that 
     would amend section 12304(b) of title 10, United States Code, 
     to authorize the Secretary of Defense to order any unit of 
     the Selected Reserve to Active Duty during the year of 
     execution if the Secretary identifies manpower and associated 
     costs as an emerging requirement in the year of execution and 
     provides a 30-day notice to the congressional defense 
     committees.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the authority to order Selected 
     Reserve units to Active Duty under section 12304(b) of title 
     10, United States Code, is designed to incentivize deliberate 
     planning for the use of the Selective Reserve as part of the 
     operational force by requiring missions to be planned in 
     advance and included in annual budget submissions. Other 
     provisions of title 10, United States Code, provide authority 
     to order members and units of the reserve components to 
     Active Duty to address emerging requirements arising during 
     the year of execution.
     Exemption of military technicians (dual status) from civilian 
         employee furloughs
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 514) that 
     would amend section 10216(b)(3) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to exempt military dual-status technicians from 
     civilian employee furloughs.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Authority to designate certain Reserve officers as not to be 
         considered for selection for promotion
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 522) that would 
     amend section 14301 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the secretaries of the military departments to 
     defer promotion consideration for reserve component officers 
     in a non-participatory (membership points only) status.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Responsibility of Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces for 
         standards and qualifications for military specialties 
         within the Armed Forces
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 531) that would 
     vest in the Chief of Staff of each of the Armed Forces the 
     responsibility for establishing, approving, and modifying the 
     criteria, standards, and qualifications for military 
     specialty codes within that Armed Force. The Secretary of 
     Defense would retain oversight authority.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees expect service secretaries to consult with 
     and receive the advice of the Chiefs of Staff of each of the 
     Armed Forces when making decisions on military standards and 
     qualifications.
     Reconciliation of contradictory provisions relating to 
         qualifications for enlistment in the reserve components 
         of the Armed Forces
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 537) that would 
     amend section 12102(b) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     align the requirements for enlistment in the reserve 
     components of the Armed Forces with the requirements for 
     enlistment in the active components.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Burdens of proof applicable to investigations and reviews 
         related to protected communications of members of the 
         armed forces and prohibited retaliatory actions.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 545) that 
     would amend section 1034 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     establish the burden of proof under this section for military 
     retaliation investigations to be the same as the burden of 
     proof applicable to retaliation investigations under section 
     1221(e) of title 5, United States Code.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees included a number of provisions in this Act 
     that will provide necessary tools to allow military victims 
     of retaliation to be provided full, fair, and expeditious 
     investigation and relief, when appropriate, in response to 
     alleged retaliation. The conferees are mindful however that 
     the requirements, hardships, and sacrifices of military 
     service are unique and unlike those of the federal civilian 
     workplace that section 1221(e) of title 5 is intended to 
     address. We consider the burden of proof standards under 
     section 1221(e) to be properly tailored to the federal 
     civilian workforce. However, the conferees concluded that the 
     burden of proof standards that properly apply in a civilian 
     context are not amenable to the unique demands of military 
     service. The conferees remain concerned about reports from 
     military personnel who indicate they have been subjected to 
     retaliation after making protected communications. The 
     conferees intend to remain seized of this issue and will 
     assess the impact of the provisions in this bill to reducing 
     the prevalence of retaliation in the military.
     Discretionary authority for military judges to designate an 
         individual to assume the rights of the victim of an 
         offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice when 
         the victim is a minor, incompetent, incapacitated, or 
         deceased
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 546) that would 
     amend section 806b(c) of title 10, United States Code 
     (Article 6b(c), Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     authorize military judges to decide on a case-by-case basis 
     whether it is appropriate to appoint an individual to assume 
     the victim's rights in all cases under the UCMJ in which the 
     victim of an offense is under 18 years of age (unless the 
     victim is a member of the Armed Forces) or is incompetent, 
     incapacitated, or deceased.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that a similar provision is included in 
     the Military Justice Act of 2016 which is enacted elsewhere 
     in this Act.
     Appellate standing of victims in enforcing rights of victims 
         under the Uniform Code of Military Justice
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 547) that would 
     amend section 806b of title 10, United States Code (article 
     6b of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     authorize victims to file pleadings as a real party in 
     interest when the Government files appellate pleadings 
     implicating the victim's rights relating to Military Rule of 
     Evidence (MRE) 412, relating to the admission of evidence 
     regarding a victim's sexual background; MRE 513, relating to 
     the psychotherapist-patient privilege; or MRE 514, relating 
     to the victim advocate-patient privilege. The provision would 
     also amend section 806b of title 10, United States Code 
     (article 6b of the UCMJ) to afford a victim with the right to 
     reasonable, accurate, and timely notice of any appellate 
     matters.
       The House contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees understand that the Judicial Proceedings 
     Panel (JPP) established by section 576 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 
     112-239) will receive testimony and address this issue in 
     future public meetings of the JPP. The conferees will 
     reconsider this issue after receipt of the JPP 
     recommendations.
     Limitation on tuition assistance for off-duty training or 
         education
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 561) that would 
     amend section 2007 of title 10, United States Code, to limit 
     the tuition assistant program for off-duty training and 
     education to education programs likely to contribute to the 
     professional development of the servicemember.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees support Department of Defense and military 
     service efforts over the past several years to ensure the 
     integrity of the tuition assistance program, and the 
     educational success of servicemembers utilizing the benefit, 
     through implementation of common-sense restrictions on 
     premature use by servicemembers still adjusting to military 
     life and who are still learning their military occupations, 
     as well as restrictions on those who would inappropriately 
     use the benefit to acquire additional degrees at the same 
     level of attainment.
     Establishment of ROTC cyber institutes at senior military 
         colleges
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 562) that 
     would amend chapter 103 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to carry out a program to 
     establish ROTC Cyber Institutes at the six Senior Military 
     Colleges for purposes of accelerating the development of 
     foundational expertise in critical cyber operational skills

     and Department of Defense, to include such leaders of the 
     Reserve Components.

[[Page 15130]]

       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that many ROTC programs are beginning to

     skills. The conferees encourage these and other ROTC programs 
     to continue building and teaching a cyber framework for 
     future military and civilian leaders of the Armed Forces and 
     Department of Defense.
     Access to Department of Defense installations of institutions 
         of higher education providing certain advising and 
         student support services
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 563) that would 
     amend chapter 101 of title 10, United States Code, to require 
     the Secretary of Defense to grant access to all Department of 
     Defense installations any institution of higher education 
     that has a Voluntary Education Partnership Memorandum of 
     Understanding with the Department for the purposes of student 
     advising and support services.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Employment authority for civilian faculty at certain military 
         department schools
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 564) that 
     would amend section 4021 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary concerned to hire staff for 
     professional military education courses regardless of course 
     length.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Revision of name on military service record to reflect change 
         in name of a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or 
         Marine Corps, after separation from the Armed Forces
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 565) that 
     would amend section 1551 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     allow persons who legally change their name to reflect their 
     gender identity after separation from the Armed Forces to 
     receive a new certificate of discharge or acceptance of 
     resignation order under that new name.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that former service members currently 
     have a process to request their name be changed on official 
     service discharge documents to reflect a legal name change, 
     by submitting a request to the appropriate service board for 
     correction of military or naval records. Effective October 1, 
     2016, the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Military 
     Departments will implement DoD Instruction 1300.28, that 
     requires the services to provide servicemembers a process by 
     which, while serving, they may change their gender. The 
     conferees expect the Department to make the necessary changes 
     to regulations to provide former members a simplified process 
     to reflect a name change in military personnel records due to 
     change in gender identity or other lawful purpose.
     Direct employment pilot program for members of the National 
         Guard and Reserve
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 566) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot 
     program to enhance efforts of the Department of Defense to 
     provide job placement assistance and related employment 
     services directly to members of the National Guard and 
     Reserves. This section would also require the Secretary to 
     submit a report on the program to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by 
     January 31, 2021.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the South Carolina and California 
     National Guards conduct state employment programs that have 
     seen success in recent years and serve as a model for other 
     states and territories to set up similar state employment 
     programs. The conferees note the numerous employment 
     assistance programs for transitioning servicemembers 
     coordinated by the military services, the Department of 
     Defense, the Department of Labor, and the Department of 
     Veterans Affairs, such as the Department of Labor's Veterans' 
     Employment and Training Service and the Department of 
     Veterans Affairs' VA for Vets program and Feds Hire Vets 
     employment tool. The conferees encourage the Chief of the 
     National Guard Bureau to work with the Secretary of Defense 
     to coordinate with the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary 
     of Veterans Affairs to leverage these preexisting Federal 
     employment programs.
     Prohibition on establishment, maintenance, or support of 
         Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps units at 
         educational institutions that display the Confederate 
         battle flag
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 567) that 
     would amend section 2102 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     prohibit the secretary concerned from establishing, 
     maintaining, or supporting a Senior Reserve Officers' 
     Training Corps unit at an educational institution that 
     displays the Confederate battle flag except where the board 
     of visitors has voted to take down the flag described.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on composition of service academies
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 568) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     submit a report on the demographic composition of the service 
     academies.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Enhanced flexibility in provision of relocation assistance to 
         members of the Armed Forces and their families
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 576) that would 
     amend section 1056 of title 10, United States Code, to permit 
     enhanced flexibility in giving relocation assistance to 
     members of the Armed Forces and their families. The provision 
     would allow the Department of Defense to adapt the delivery 
     of relocation assistance to meet the evolving needs of 
     military servicemembers and their families by leveraging 
     technology to improve access, efficiency, and responsiveness 
     of the relocation assistance program, especially in 
     situations where servicemembers reside overseas or away from 
     a military installation with a relocation assistance program. 
     Finally, the provision would establish the position of 
     Program Manager of Military Relocation Assistance in the 
     office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower and 
     Reserve Affairs.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Background checks for employees of agencies and schools 
         providing elementary and secondary education for 
         Department of Defense dependents
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 578) that would 
     require certain local educational agencies receiving impact 
     aid under subchapter VII of chapter 70 of title 20, United 
     States Code, and each Department of Defense (DOD) domestic 
     dependent elementary and secondary school, within 2 years of 
     enactment of this Act, to establish policies and procedures 
     requiring a criminal background check for each school 
     employee of the agency or school.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees believe the protection of school children 
     from would-be predators is of paramount importance. Children 
     of military personnel, who by virtue of a parent's military 
     service are more transient with fewer community ties and 
     relationships, may be more vulnerable to such predators. The 
     conferees believe it is important that appropriate criminal 
     background checks be conducted of school employees in 
     Department of Defense (DOD) schools and local educational 
     activities that educate military family members. Despite the 
     requirement in every state that background checks be 
     conducted, and recently-enacted prohibitions in the Every 
     Student Succeeds Act that restrict the movement and 
     reemployment of predators in other states, there were still 
     496 arrests of school employees in the United States last 
     year for sexual misconduct with children, according to press 
     reports. Clearly, the problem of child predation and abuse 
     remains in our local school systems. The conferees note that 
     DOD schools conduct thorough criminal background checks on 
     their employees, and the conferees are committed to 
     subjecting DOD schools to the oversight required to ensure 
     that they conduct thorough criminal background checks on 
     their employees. Given the critical importance of this issue 
     and the defense authorizing committees' continuing concern 
     that children at risk are adequately protected, the conferees 
     strongly urge DOD to work as closely as possible with local 
     school districts that educate military family members to 
     share best practices to help those districts develop and 
     improve comprehensive employment screening policies to ensure 
     the safety of military children. The conferees direct the 
     Department to provide a report to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
     later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, on 
     the Department's efforts to: 1) identify, to the extent 
     practicable, any shortfalls in employee screening processes 
     in local school districts educating military family members; 
     and 2) provide recommendations to help address those 
     shortfalls in the future.
     Authorization for award of the Medal of Honor to Charles S. 
         Kettles for acts of valor during the Vietnam war
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 586) that would 
     waive the time limitations specified in section 3744 of title 
     10, United States Code, to authorize the President to award 
     the Medal of Honor to Charles S. Kettles, for acts of valor

       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     584).

[[Page 15131]]

       The conference agreement does not include this provision.
       The conferees note the authority to waive the time 
     limitations for award of the Medal of Honor were included in 
     the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 (P.L. 114-113). 
     The President awarded Mr. Kettles the Medal of Honor in a 
     ceremony at the White House on July 18, 2016.
     Burial of cremated remains in Arlington National Cemetery of 
         certain persons whose service is deemed to be active 
         service.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 591) that 
     would amend section 2410 of title 38, United States Code, to 
     require the Secretary of the Army to ensure that the cremated 
     remains of certain individuals whose service has been 
     determined to be active duty service are eligible for 
     inurnment with military honors in Arlington National

     authority contained in section 591 of the House amendment.

         citizens and persons

     women in the requirement to register for selective service, 
     to the same extent men are currently required, beginning 
     January 1, 2018.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Representation from member of the Armed Forces on boards, 
         councils, and committees making recommendations relating 
         to military personnel issues
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 592) that 
     would require that enlisted or retired enlisted members of 
     the armed forces be represented on all boards, panels, 
     commissions, or task forces established under chapter 7 of 
     title 10, United States Code, to render a recommendation on 
     any aspect of personnel policy directly affecting enlisted 
     personnel.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees believe it is essential that the views of 
     enlisted members must be considered by boards charged with 
     developing informed and effective military personnel policy. 
     The conferees expect that the Secretary of Defense, the 
     secretaries of the military departments, the Chairman of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff, the service chiefs, and their senior 
     enlisted advisers will ensure that enlisted representation is 
     included in such boards to the maximum extent practicable.
     Preseparation counseling regarding options for donating brain 
         tissue at time of death for research
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 594) that 
     would require servicemembers to receive information during 
     transition separation counseling concerning options for 
     donating brain tissue at the time of death of the 
     servicemember for chronic traumatic encephalopathy research.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Recognition of the expanded service opportunities available 
         to female members of the Armed Forces and the long 
         service of women in the Armed Forces
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 595) that 
     would express Congress' recognition of women who have served 
     and are currently serving in the Armed Forces.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that female members of the Armed Forces 
     are invaluable and integral to the Armed Forces and that the 
     United States must continue to encourage and support female 
     members of the Armed Forces as they serve our Nation.
     Sense of Congress regarding plight of male victims of 
         military sexual assault
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 596) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the Secretary of 
     Defense should enhance access to intensive medical and mental 
     health treatment of male victims of sexual assault, look for 
     opportunities to use male victims as presenters at prevention 
     training, and ensure medical and mental health providers are 
     trained to meet the needs of male victims.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees remain concerned that more must be done to 
     address the unique issues and concerns affecting male victims 
     of sexual assault. For that reason, section 538 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (P.L. 
     114-92) requires the Secretary of Defense, in collaboration 
     with the secretaries of the military departments, to develop 
     a comprehensive plan to improve Department of Defense 
     prevention and response to sexual assaults in which the 
     victim is a male member of the armed forces. The conferees 
     look forward to receiving the plan from the Secretary of 
     Defense and intend to monitor the efficacy of the plan.

     whose enlistment is vital to the national interest.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

         of basic allowance for housing under certain 
         circumstances (sec. 603)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 603) that would 
     extend for 1 year the authority of the Secretary of Defense 
     to temporarily increase the rate of basic allowance for 
     housing in areas impacted by natural disasters or 
     experiencing a sudden influx of personnel.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     602).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Reports on a new single-salary pay system for members of the 
         Armed Forces (sec. 604)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 604) that would 
     reform the basic allowance for housing (BAH) benefit for 
     members of the uniformed services, applicable January 1, 
     2018. The provision would require a system that utilizes 
     actual costs up to a maximum allowable amount. No service 
     member will see a change in their allowance until such time 
     as they undergo a permanent change of duty station outside 
     their military housing area after January 1, 2018.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Department of Defense to report back with revised pay tables 
     and a plan to transition to a salary system by no later than 
     January 1, 2018. An initial assessment and progress report 
     will be due to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives no later than March 1, 2017, 
     to contain the military pay tables as of January 1, 2017, 
     that reflect the Regular Military Compensation of members of 
     the Armed Forces as of that date in the range of grades, 
     dependency statuses, and assignment locations.
       The conferees note that the BAH, as an entitlement, and the 
     perception of BAH among servicemembers, has evolved over the 
     past 20 years. BAH, and the iterations of the benefit that 
     came before, was intended to provide a housing benefit for 
     service members to offset the cost of housing in high cost 
     housing areas where adequate government-provided quarters was 
     not available and in recognition of the transient nature of 
     military service and the impact it has on military members 
     and their families. Indeed, that the housing allowance was 
     and is intended as primarily a housing benefit is 
     demonstrated by its tax-free nature, the differentiation 
     based on dependency status, and the fact that junior enlisted 
     personnel required to reside in barracks or on a ship are 
     ineligible to receive BAH. Accordingly, the conferees direct 
     the Secretary of Defense to begin planning for a transition 
     to a salary system that better aligns the payment of the 
     allowance with the Department's use of the housing allowance 
     as compensation rather than its intended purpose as an 
     allowance.

           Subtitle B--Bonuses and Special and Incentive Pays

     One-year extension of certain bonus and special pay 
         authorities for reserve forces (sec. 611)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 611) that would 
     extend for 1 year the authority to pay the Selected Reserve 
     reenlistment bonus, the Selected Reserve affiliation or 
     enlistment bonus, special pay for enlisted members assigned 
     to certain high-priority units, the Ready Reserve enlistment 
     bonus for persons without prior service, the Ready Reserve 
     enlistment and reenlistment bonus for persons with prior 
     service, the Selected Reserve enlistment and reenlistment 
     bonus for persons with prior service, travel expenses for 
     certain inactive-duty training, and income replacement for 
     reserve component members experiencing extended and frequent 
     mobilization for Active-Duty service.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     611).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.

     Reserve, accession and retention bonuses for psychologists, 
     the accession bonus for registered nurses, incentive special 
     pay for nurse anesthetists, special pay for Selected Reserve 
     health professionals in critically short wartime specialties, 
     the accession bonus for dental officers, the accession bonus 
     for pharmacy officers, the accession bonus for medical 
     officers in critically short wartime specialties, and the 
     accession bonus for dental specialist officers in critically 
     short wartime specialties.

     612).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     One-year extension of special pay and bonus authorities for 
         nuclear officers (sec. 613)

     extend for 1 year the authority to pay the special pay for 
     nuclear-qualified officers extending period of active 
     service, the nuclear career accession bonus, and the nuclear 
     career annual incentive bonus.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     613).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     One-year extension of authorities relating to title 37 
         consolidated special pay, incentive pay, and bonus 
         authorities (sec. 614)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 614) that would 
     extend for 1 year the general bonus authority for enlisted 
     members, the general bonus authority for officers, special 
     bonus and incentive pay authorities for nuclear officers, 
     special aviation incentive pay and bonus authorities for 
     officers, and special bonus and incentive pay authorities for 
     officers in health professions, and contracting bonus for 
     cadets and midshipmen enrolled in the Senior Officers' 
     Training Corps. The provision would also extend for 1 year 
     the authority to pay hazardous duty pay, assignment or 
     special duty pay, skill incentive pay or proficiency bonus, 
     and retention incentives for members qualified in critical 
     military skills or assigned to high priority units.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     614).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     One-year extension of authorities relating to payment of 
         other title 37 bonuses and special pays (sec. 615)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 615) that would 
     extend for 1 year the authority to pay the aviation officer 
     retention bonus, assignment incentive pay, the reenlistment 
     bonus for active members, the enlistment bonus, 
     precommissioning incentive pay for foreign language 
     proficiency, the accession bonus for new officers in critical 
     skills, the incentive bonus for conversion to military 
     occupational specialty to ease personnel shortage, the 
     incentive bonus for transfer between Armed Forces, and the 
     accession bonus for officer candidates.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     615).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Aviation incentive pay and bonus matters (sec. 616)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 616) that 
     would amend section 334(c)(1) of title 37, United States 
     Code, to increase the statutory limits for the aviation 
     incentive pay and retention bonus to $1,000 per month and 
     $60,000 per year, respectively, and would allow the Secretary 
     concerned the flexibility to increase the aviation incentive 
     pay limit set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of 
     Defense under section 374 of title 37, United States Code.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize a 
     maximum aviation bonus of $35,000 for each 12-month period of

[[Page 15133]]

     obligated service, and requires the appropriate Service 
     Secretary to submit a justification with each fiscal year's 
     budget request for the aviation bonus amounts by aircraft 
     type category, the business case supporting the amount 
     requested, and a description by the Secretary concerned on 
     how they will address manning shortfalls by non-monetary 
     means.
       The conferees note the current Chief of Staff of the Air 
     Force stated in response to advance policy questions in 
     preparation for his confirmation hearing, ``We will tailor 
     any potential bonus based upon specific platform and overall 
     Air Force requirements. The requested increase is not a set 
     amount. If approved, this will give us the flexibility to 
     tailor bonus amounts and contract terms by platform.'' The 
     conferees strongly agree with targeting aviation bonuses 
     toward the most critical manning shortfalls by aircraft type 
     category as a way to incentivize retention behavior, and 
     strongly support this method for use across the Department of 
     Defense.
       The conferees also expect the Services to continue 
     developing and implementing policies to tackle non-monetary 
     reasons for low aviator retention rates, and to use these 
     incentive and bonus authorities to incentivize needed 
     retention levels using a business case rather than as a 
     reward or entitlement, to correct both the undermanning of 
     certain aircraft type categories and the overmanning of 
     others.
     Conforming amendment to consolidation of special pay, 
         incentive pay, and bonus authorities (sec. 617)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 616) that would 
     amend section 332 of title 10, United States Code, to correct 
     an inequity that will exist when the Department transitions 
     to a general bonus authority on October 1, 2017. This 
     amendment will increase the maximum bonus authority under the 
     new general bonus authority to $20,000 to match the maximum 
     bonus level under the old authority. Maintaining the current 
     bonus level will enable the Services to retain the ability to 
     recruit and retain reserve component officers.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     617).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Technical amendments relating to 2008 consolidation of 
         certain special pay authorities (sec. 618)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 618) that 
     would make technical and clerical corrections to titles 10, 
     20, 24, 36, 37, and 42, United States Code, as well as 
     section 586 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), section 362 of the 
     John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364), and section 112(c)(5)(B) of 
     the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as part of the Department 
     of Defense's transition to the consolidated authorities in 
     sections 661 and 662 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), which 
     consolidated statutory special and incentive pay authorities 
     for members of the uniformed services. This section is 
     consistent with the purpose and intent of the consolidated 
     special and incentive pay reform contained in the 2008 
     defense bill.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

            Subtitle C--Travel and Transportation Allowances

     Maximum reimbursement amount for travel expenses of members 
         of the Reserves attending inactive duty training outside 
         of normal commuting distances (sec. 621)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 641) that 
     would amend section 478a(c) of title 37, United States Code, 
     to allow for a higher reimbursement amount on a case-by-case 
     basis for certain members of the Reserve component traveling 
     to attend inactive duty training outside of normal committing 
     distances.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 621).
       The Senate recedes.

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

        Part I--Amendments in Connection with Retired Pay Reform

     Election period for members in the service academies and 
         inactive Reserves to participate in the modernized 
         retirement system (sec. 631)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 631) that would 
     amend section 1409 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     clarify the timing for cadets and midshipmen at the service 
     academies to opt-in to the new military retirement system 
     enacted in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92). The provision would also 
     clarify the timing of such elections for reservists who are 
     on Inactive Duty during the election period otherwise 
     provided for under the new retirement system.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Effect of separation of members from the uniformed services 
         on participation in the Thrift Savings Plan (sec. 632)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 632) that would 
     repeal paragraph (2) of section 632(c) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 
     114-92). This amendment makes a technical correction for the 
     new military retirement plan enacted in that Act relative to 
     defining separation from service under the Thrift Savings 
     Plan.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     621).
       The House recedes.
     Continuation pay for full Thrift Savings Plan members who 
         have completed 8 to 12 years of service (sec. 633)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 622) that 
     would amend section 356 of title 37, United States Code, to 
     modify the continuation pay for members under the new 
     military retirement system enacted in the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to 
     provide the Secretary of Defense with the flexibility to 
     offer continuation pay in the window between 8 and 12 years 
     of service in exchange for a 3 years of service or greater 
     commitment as the Secretary deems appropriate for retention.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 633).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Combat-related special compensation coordinating amendment 
         (sec. 634)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 619) that 
     would amend section 1413a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     make a technical and conforming amendment to Combat-Related 
     Special Compensation, to bring that authority in line with 
     the new military retirement system enacted in the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 
     114-92).
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 634).
       The House recedes.

                         Part II--Other Matters

     Use of member's current pay grade and years of service and 
         retired pay cost-of-living adjustments, rather than final 
         retirement pay grade and years of service, in a division 
         of property involving disposable retired pay (sec. 641)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 642) that would 
     amend section 1408 of title 10, United States Code, to modify 
     the division of military retired pay in a divorce decree to 
     the amount the member would be entitled based upon the 
     member's pay grade and years of service at the time of the 
     divorce rather than at the time of retirement with the 
     spousal share of the retired pay computed on the retired pay 
     as adjusted by the annual increases in military pay.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     625) that would amend section 1408 of title 10, United States 
     Code, to modify the division of military retired pay in a 
     divorce decree to the amount the member would be entitled 
     based upon the member's pay grade and years of service at the 
     time of the divorce.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     division of military retired pay in a divorce decree to the 
     amount the member would be entitled based upon the member's 
     pay grade and years of service at the time of the divorce as 
     adjusted by the annual retired pay cost-of-living adjustments 
     between the date of the divorce decree and the date of 
     retirement. The conferees note that this provision is 
     prospective only and would not affect existing divorce 
     settlements.
     Equal benefits under Survivor Benefit Plan for survivors of 
         reserve component members who die in the line of duty 
         during inactive-duty training (sec. 642)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 624) that 
     would amend section 1451(c)(1)(A) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to eliminate the different treatment under the Survivor 
     Benefit Plan accorded members of the reserve component who 
     die from an injury or illness incurred or aggravated in the 
     line of duty during inactive-duty training, as compared to 
     the treatment of members of the Armed Forces who die in the 
     line of duty while on Active Duty.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Authority to deduct Survivor Benefit Plan premiums from 
         combat-related special compensation when retired pay not 
         sufficient (sec. 643)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 644) that would 
     amend section 1452 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the deduction of Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) 
     premiums from monthly combat related special compensation 
     (CRSC) when retired pay is insufficient to cover the 
     premiums.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Extension of allowance covering monthly premium for 
         Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance while in certain 
         overseas areas to cover members in any combat zone or 
         overseas direct support area (sec. 644)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 641) that would 
     amend section 437 of title 37,

[[Page 15134]]

     United States Code, to expand the areas eligible for the 
     allowance for covering monthly premiums for the 
     Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance to include any 
     designated combat zone or an area directly supporting a 
     designated combat zone.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Authority for payment of pay and allowances and retired and 
         retainer pay pursuant to power of attorney (sec. 645)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 672) that would 
     amend section 602 of title 37, United States Code, to 
     authorize payment of certain pay and allowances of a 
     servicemember or retired servicemember to an individual to 
     whom the member has granted authority to manage these funds 
     pursuant to a valid and legally executed durable power of 
     attorney. This proposal would enable members to responsibly 
     and proactively plan their personal affairs in the event of 
     their incapacitation, and to allow those durable powers of 
     attorney to be recognized by the military departments and the 
     Department of Defense.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Extension of authority to pay special survivor indemnity 
         allowance under Survivor Benefit Plan (sec. 646)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 643) that would 
     amend section 1450 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     permanently extend the authority to pay the Special Survivor 
     Indemnity Allowance (SSIA).
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 623) that 
     would extend the authority to pay the SSIA for one year.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     authority to pay the SSIA until May 31, 2018.
     Repeal of obsolete authority for combat-related injury 
         rehabilitation pay (sec. 647)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 605) that would 
     repeal section 328 of title 10, United States Code, relating 
     to an obsolete authority for combat-related injury 
     rehabilitation pay.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Independent assessment of the Survivor Benefit Plan (sec. 
         648)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 646) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to provide for an 
     independent assessment of the Department of Defense Survivor 
     Benefit Plan (SBP) by a federally-funded research and 
     development center (FFRDC).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

   Subtitle E--Commissary and Non-Appropriated Fund Instrumentality 
                        Benefits and Operations

     Protection and enhancement of access to and savings at 
         commissaries and exchanges (sec. 661)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 661) that would 
     amend sections 2481, 2483, 2484, and 2487 of title 10, United 
     States Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to develop 
     and implement a comprehensive strategy to optimize management 
     practices across the defense commissary system and the 
     exchange system that reduces their reliance on appropriated 
     funding without reducing benefits to commissary patrons or 
     revenues generated by non-appropriated fund entities. This 
     provision would authorize the Secretary to carry out an 
     alternative pricing program, evaluated against specific, 
     measurable benchmarks and a documented baseline level of 
     savings, within the defense commissary system to establish 
     prices for goods and services in response to market 
     conditions and customer demand. Furthermore, the provision 
     would authorize the Secretary to convert the commissary 
     system to a non-appropriated fund entity or instrumentality 
     if the Secretary determines that the alternative pricing 
     program met established benchmarks for success for a period 
     of at least 6 months. If conversion to a non-appropriated 
     fund entity or instrumentality occurs, the Secretary would 
     ensure that no employee of the defense commissary system, as 
     of the date of enactment of this Act, would incur a loss or 
     decrease in pay resulting from the conversion. This provision 
     would also authorize the Secretary of Defense to establish 
     common business processes, practices, and systems to optimize 
     the operations of the entire defense resale system, including 
     authorizing the use of appropriated and non-appropriated 
     funds on contracts or agreements for the acquisition of 
     common systems. Finally, the provision would authorize the 
     Secretary to supplement appropriated funds for defense 
     commissary system operations with additional funds derived 
     from improved management practices and the alternative 
     pricing program.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 631) that 
     would amend sections 2481(a) and (c), 2483(c), 2484, 2485, 
     and 2487 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize the 
     Secretary of Defense to develop and implement a comprehensive 
     strategy to: 1) optimize practices across the commissary and 
     exchange systems to reduce the reliance of those systems on 
     appropriated funds without reducing benefits to patrons or 
     any revenues generated by non-appropriated fund entities or 
     instrumentalities of the Department for the morale, welfare, 
     and recreation of servicemembers; 2) authorize use of 
     additional funds derived from improved management practices 
     to supplement appropriated funds for commissary operations; 
     3) authorize a variable pricing program whereby commissary 
     prices may be established in response to market conditions 
     and customer demand; 4) authorize conversion of the 
     commissary system to a non-appropriated fund entity or 
     instrumentality if the Secretary determines that the variable 
     pricing program meets established benchmarks for success for 
     a period of at least 6 months; and 5) authorize the Secretary 
     to contract with an entity to obtain expert commercial 
     advice, assistance, or other services not otherwise carried 
     out by the Defense Commissary Agency.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees believe this provision will significantly 
     improve the business operations of the commissary system and 
     lead to greater efficiency in the delivery of high quality 
     grocery products and services to commissary patrons without 
     diminishing the current level of patron savings. The 
     conferees remain concerned, however, that the current senior 
     management of the Defense Commissary Agency may lack the 
     necessary talent and skills to transform the commissary 
     system into an efficient, high-performing purveyor of grocery 
     products and services. The conferees strongly urge the 
     Department to engage experts in the commercial grocery 
     industry to assist the Defense Commissary Agency in the 
     transformation of the commissary system into a high-
     performing grocery operation.
     Acceptance of Military Star Card at commissaries (sec. 662)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 632) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that 
     commissary stores accept the Military Star Card as payment 
     for goods and services. Under this provision, the Army and 
     Air Force Exchange Service would assume any financial 
     liability of the United States relating to acceptance of the 
     Military Star Card as payment for goods and services at 
     commissary stores.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

                       Subtitle F--Other Matters

     Recovery of amounts owed to the United States by members of 
         the uniformed services (sec. 671)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 642) that 
     would amend section 1007(c)(3) of title 37, United States 
     Code, to establish a 10-year statute of limitations on the 
     authority of the government to collect an indebtedness to the 
     government owed by a servicemember if the indebtedness 
     occurred through no fault of the member. The statute of 
     limitations established under this provision would apply to 
     indebtedness incurred on or after October 1, 2027. The 
     provision would require the Director of the Defense Finance 
     and Accounting Service to provide an annual report, 
     commencing on January 1, 2017 and each year through 2027, on 
     cases in which recovery of indebtedness commenced after the 
     end of the 10-year period beginning on the date when the 
     indebtedness was incurred, or in which the member was not 
     notified of the indebtedness during such 10-year period.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to conduct a review of all bonus pays, 
     special pays, student loan repayments, and similar special 
     payments paid to members of the California National Guard 
     between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2015. The review is 
     required to be completed by July 30, 2017. The provision 
     requires a board of review designated by the Secretary of 
     Defense to determine whether the special pay to these members 
     and former members was unwarranted and, if so, to recommend 
     to the Secretary concerned whether to recoup the payment, 
     waive the recoupment, or in the case of recoupments that were 
     previously collected but were unwarranted by the evidence, to 
     recommend whether the payments should be repaid to the member 
     or former member. The provision would authorize the Secretary 
     concerned to waive collection of overpayments or to repay 
     previously recouped payments that were unwarranted. The 
     provision would require the Secretary concerned to notify 
     consumer credit reporting agencies if the review determines 
     that an indebtedness previously reported to the credit 
     reporting agency was invalid. The funding for activities 
     associated with the review, including repayments to members 
     and former members, shall be paid from amounts available for 
     the National Guard of the United States for the State of 
     California. The provision requires the Secretary of Defense 
     to submit a report on the results of the review to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and of the House 
     of Representatives not later than August 1, 2017. The 
     provision also requires the Comptroller General of the United 
     States to report, not later than one year after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, on the actions

[[Page 15135]]

     of the National Guard of the State of California related to 
     the bonus pays, special pays, student loan repayments, and 
     other special pays from 2004 through 2015.
     Modification of flat rate per diem requirement for personnel 
         on long-term temporary duty assignments (sec. 672)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1151) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to take such action as 
     may be necessary to provide that, to the extent that 
     regulations implementing travel and transportation 
     authorities for military and civilian personnel of the 
     Department of Defense impose a flat rate per diem for meals 
     and incidental expenses for authorized travelers on long term 
     temporary duty (TDY) assignments that is at a reduced rate 
     compared to the per diem rate otherwise applicable, the 
     Service Secretary concerned may waive the applicability of 
     such reduced rate and pay such travelers actual expenses up 
     to the full per diem rate for such travel in any case when 
     the Secretary concerned determines that the reduced flat rate 
     per diem for meals and incidental expenses is not sufficient 
     under the circumstances of the TDY assignment.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 603) that 
     would prohibit the Secretary concerned from altering the per 
     diem allowance for the duration of a temporary duty 
     assignment of a member of the Armed Forces or an employee of 
     the Department of Defense.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

     Sense of the Congress on Roth contributions as default 
         contributions of members of the Armed Forces 
         participating in the Thrift Savings Plan under retired 
         pay reform
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 635) that would 
     state the sense of the Congress that the Department of 
     Defense should explore making the default contributions of a 
     full Thrift Savings Plan member under the new military 
     retirement plan enacted in the National Defense Authorization

         Forces to designate payment of the death gratuity to a 
         trust for a special needs individual
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 645) that would 
     express the Sense of the Congress that the Department of 
     Defense should explore options to allow servicemembers to 
     designate that, upon their death, the death gratuity may be 
     paid to a trust that is legally established under any 
     federal, state, or territorial law.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Period for relocation of spouses and dependents of certain 
         members of the Armed Forces undergoing a permanent change 
         of station
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 622) that would 
     add a new section 1784b of title 10, United States Code, to 
     provide greater flexibility for families to determine the 
     sequencing of permanent change of station moves under certain 
     circumstances.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
     report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives no later than six months after 
     the date of enactment of this Act on actions taken by the 
     Department of Defense to enhance the stability of military 
     families undergoing a permanent change of station (PCS). The 
     report shall include an analysis of the current extent of 
     family disruption associated with PCS moves of members of the 
     Armed Forces, a description of the actions taken by the 
     Department of Defense to minimize such disruptions, and 
     further actions recommended by the Secretary of Defense to 
     alleviate family disruption associated with a PCS move.

                   Title VII--Health Care Provisions

        Subtitle A--Reform of Tricare and Military Health System

     TRICARE Select and other TRICARE Reform (sec. 701)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 701) that would 
     amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, to reform 
     health care plans available under the TRICARE program. The 
     provision would establish three health plan choices for 
     families of Active-Duty servicemembers, and retired military 
     members and their families: 1) TRICARE Prime, a managed care 
     option; 2) TRICARE Choice, a self-managed option; and 3) 
     TRICARE Supplemental, an option for retired members and their 
     families, other than TRICARE-For-Life beneficiaries, who have 
     other health insurance. Beneficiaries would be required to 
     enroll in one of the TRICARE options during an annual open 
     enrollment period in order to obtain care through the TRICARE 
     Program.
       Under this provision, the Department would offer TRICARE 
     Prime in areas near military treatment facilities (MTFs). 
     Active-Duty family members would be authorized to enroll in 
     TRICARE Prime, and there would be no cost shares. Retirees 
     and their family members would be authorized to enroll in 
     TRICARE Prime in areas where an MTF has a significant number 
     of health care providers, including specialty providers, and 
     sufficient capability to support efficient operations of the 
     MTF. A TRICARE Prime enrollee would be required to obtain a 
     referral for care from a designated primary care manager 
     prior to obtaining care under the TRICARE program. A referral 
     to network providers for specialty care services would not 
     require a beneficiary to obtain a pre-authorization. The 
     provision would require the Secretary to ensure that 
     beneficiaries have the same level of access to care within 
     timelines that meet or exceed those of high-performing health 
     systems in the private sector. The provision would establish 
     TRICARE Choice in other locations in the country, and 
     beneficiaries may receive care from any health care provider 
     selected by the member subject to any restrictions 
     established by the Secretary.
       This provision would include a cost-share table for 
     calendar year 2018 for both TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Choice 
     that would establish rates for annual enrollment fees, annual 
     deductibles, annual catastrophic caps, and co-payments for 
     inpatient visits, outpatient visits, and other services. The 
     provision would gradually increase the annual enrollment fee 
     for military retirees and their families under TRICARE Choice 
     over a period of 5 years through 2023. Subsequently, annual 
     enrollment fees for military retirees and their families in 
     TRICARE Choice after 2023, and for military retirees and 
     their families under TRICARE Prime after 2018, would increase 
     by the annual percent of the Consumer Price Index for Health 
     Care Services, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 
     Additionally, the provision would increase the deductible, 
     co-payment, and annual catastrophic cap amounts after 2018, 
     by the annual cost of living adjustment for military retired 
     pay. The provision would authorize the Secretary to adopt 
     special coverage and reimbursement methods, amounts, and 
     procedures to encourage the use of high-value services and 
     products and to discourage the use of low-value services and 
     products.
       Under this provision, retirees and their family members 
     with other health insurance would be authorized to enroll in 
     the TRICARE Supplemental option. The provision would 
     establish an annual enrollment fee that would be one-half of 
     the fee for the TRICARE Choice option. Under TRICARE 
     Supplemental, TRICARE would pay the deductible and co-payment 
     amounts under the beneficiary's primary health plan, not to 
     exceed the amount TRICARE would have paid as primary payer to 
     an out-of-network provider.
       A number of existing TRICARE programs would remain 
     unchanged under this provision: 1) Extended Health Care 
     Option Program; 2) TRICARE Reserve Select; 3) TRICARE Retired 
     Reserve; 4) TRICARE Dental Program; and 5) the Continued 
     Health Care Benefits Program. This provision would not affect 
     the required cost-shares under the TRICARE Pharmacy Benefits 
     Program, but the annual enrollment fee, annual deductible, 
     and annual catastrophic cap established in this section would 
     apply to the pharmacy program. With this provision, the cost-
     share requirements for remote area dependents would be the 
     same as those established under the TRICARE Prime Option but 
     without a referral requirement.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 701) that 
     would amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     establish TRICARE Preferred as the self-managed, preferred 
     provider option in the TRICARE program, replacing TRICARE 
     Standard and Extra. The provision would establish annual 
     enrollment fees and fixed dollar co-payments for Active-Duty 
     family members and retirees who join the Armed Services on or 
     after January 1, 2018, and enroll in TRICARE Preferred or 
     TRICARE Prime, the managed care option. In addition, the 
     provision would authorize an annual enrollment fee for 
     TRICARE Preferred for beneficiaries who were in either the 
     Active-Duty or retired beneficiary categories prior to 
     January 1, 2018. However, the provision would prohibit the 
     Secretary from establishing this annual enrollment fee until 
     90 days after the Comptroller General of the United States 
     submits a report, not later than February 1, 2020, to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives on access to care, network adequacy, and 
     beneficiary satisfaction under TRICARE Preferred. The 
     provision would also require the Comptroller General, not 
     later than September 1, 2017, to submit to the committees a 
     report on the assessment of network adequacy and 
     beneficiaries' access to care under the TRICARE health care 
     provider network. Finally, the provision would require the 
     Secretary to submit an implementation plan, not later than 
     June 1, 2017, to the committees to improve access for TRICARE 
     beneficiaries. The Comptroller General would be required to 
     submit to the committees, not later than December 1, 2017, a 
     review of the

[[Page 15136]]

     implementation plan submitted by the Secretary.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would: 1) rename 
     the TRICARE Preferred health plan option to TRICARE Select; 
     2) modify the tables prescribing enrollment fees, 
     deductibles, catastrophic caps, and co-payments for 
     beneficiaries in the retired category who join the military 
     on or after January 1, 2018, and to establish a calendar year 
     enrollment period for those fees; 3) require the Secretary to 
     establish an open enrollment period, with a grace period 
     during the first year of open enrollment, and to allow 
     enrollment for qualifying events for annual participation in 
     either TRICARE Prime or TRICARE Select; 4) prescribe certain 
     requirements for pre-authorization for referrals under 
     TRICARE Prime; and 5) require a pilot program on 
     incorporation of value-based health care methodology in the 
     purchased care component of the TRICARE program.
     Reform of administration of the Defense Health Agency and 
         military medical treatment facilities (sec. 702)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 721) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to disestablish the medical 
     departments of the Armed Forces and consolidate all 
     activities of those departments into the Defense Health 
     Agency. The Secretary could not undertake this action until 
     60 days after submission of the Department's consolidation 
     plan to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives. The provision would also 
     require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     review the consolidation plan and submit that review to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives within 180 days after the Secretary submits 
     the plan to the committees. Under this provision, the Defense 
     Health Agency would be led by an officer of the Armed Forces 
     holding the grade of lieutenant general or vice admiral and 
     be responsible for the medical operations of the Department 
     of Defense. The resultant Defense Health Agency would consist 
     of four subordinate organizations: 1) an organization 
     responsible for all military medical treatment facilities 
     (MTFs); 2) an organization responsible for medical 
     professional recruitment and retention activities, medical 
     education and training, research and development activities, 
     and executive agencies for medical operations or activities; 
     3) an organization responsible for activities and duties of 
     the current Defense Health Agency; and 4) an organization 
     responsible for activities and duties to improve and maintain 
     operational medical force readiness capabilities and to 
     ensure sustainment of combat casualty care and trauma 
     readiness of military health care providers. A major general 
     or rear admiral upper half would serve as head of each 
     subordinate organization. The provision would give broad 
     authorities to the Director of the Defense Health Agency, 
     under the supervision and control of the Assistant Secretary 
     of Defense for Health Affairs, to conduct the medical 
     operations functions of the Department. In addition, the 
     provision would amend sections 3036, 5137, and 8036 of title 
     10, United States Code, to establish the duties and 
     responsibilities of the Surgeons General of the Services as 
     principal adviser to the service secretary and service chief 
     as well as chief medical adviser of that service to the 
     Defense Health Agency. Finally, the provision would require 
     the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on consolidation, 
     by January 1, 2017, to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and the House of Representatives.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 702) that 
     would amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the Defense Health Agency to become responsible for 
     management of MTFs throughout the Department of Defense, 
     while preserving the responsibility of MTF commanders for 
     ensuring the readiness of members of the Armed Forces and 
     civilian employees at MTFs and for providing health care 
     services at MTFs. In carrying out this provision, the Defense 
     Health Agency would establish an executive-level management 
     office consisting of professional health care administrators 
     to manage health care operations, finance and budget, 
     information technology, and medical affairs across all MTFs. 
     This provision would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit an interim report to the congressional defense 
     committees by March 1, 2017, on the preliminary plan to 
     implement these changes, and a final report by March 1, 2018. 
     Finally, this provision would require the Comptroller General 
     of the United States to review each of the Department's plans 
     and to submit an assessment of those plans to the 
     congressional defense committees by September 1, 2017, and 
     September 1, 2018, respectively.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Director of the Defense Health Agency, beginning October 1, 
     2018, to take responsibility for the administration of each 
     MTF, including all matters with respect to: 1) budget; 2) 
     information technology; 3) health care administration and 
     management; 4) administrative policy and procedure; 5) 
     military medical construction and 6) any other matters the 
     Secretary determines appropriate. The amendment would require 
     the establishment of a professional staff within the Defense 
     Health Agency to provide policy, oversight, and direction of 
     all matters related to the administration of MTFs. In 
     addition, the amendment would codify the roles and 
     responsibilities of the Services' Surgeons General. The 
     amendment would require the Secretary to develop an 
     implementation plan and to submit: 1) an interim report 
     providing a preliminary draft of the plan to the Committees 
     on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives by March 1, 2017; and 2) a final report to 
     the committees by March 1, 2018, containing a final version 
     of the plan. Finally, the amendment would require the 
     Comptroller General of the United States to submit to the 
     committees a review of the Department's preliminary draft of 
     the plan by September 1, 2017, and a review of the final 
     version of the plan by September 1, 2018.
       After careful study and deliberation, the conferees 
     conclude that a single agency responsible for the 
     administration of all MTFs would best improve and sustain 
     operational medical force readiness and the medical readiness 
     of the Armed Forces, improve beneficiaries' access to care 
     and the experience of care, improve health outcomes, and 
     lower the total management cost of the military health 
     system. The conferees believe that the current organizational 
     structure of the military health system--essentially three 
     separate health systems each managed by one of the three 
     Services--paralyzes rapid decision-making and stifles 
     innovation in producing a modern health care delivery system 
     that would better serve all beneficiaries. A streamlined 
     military health system management structure would eliminate 
     redundancy and generate greater efficiency, yielding monetary 
     savings to the Department while leading to true reform of the 
     military health system and improving the experience of care 
     for beneficiaries.
     Military medical treatment facilities (sec. 703)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 725) that would 
     authorize the secretary of a military department to realign 
     the infrastructure of or modify the health care services 
     provided by a military treatment facility (MTF) if a 
     realignment or modification would better: 1) ensure the 
     delivery of safe, high quality health care services; 2) adapt 
     the delivery of health care in a facility to rapid changes in 
     private sector health care delivery models; or 3) maintain 
     the medical force readiness skills and core competencies of 
     health care providers in a facility. Before taking any action 
     under this provision, the Secretary of Defense would be 
     required to submit a report to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on 
     proposed realignments of infrastructure or modifications of 
     health care services at MTFs. Within 60 days after the 
     Secretary submits a report under this provision, the 
     Comptroller General of the United States would submit a 
     review of such report to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and the House of Representatives.
       The Senate bill also contained a provision (sec. 729) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to establish regional 
     centers of excellence for the provision of specialty care to 
     covered beneficiaries at major medical centers of the 
     Department of Defense. The provision would authorize the 
     Secretary to establish satellite centers, when and where 
     appropriate, particularly to provide specialty care for post-
     traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. Furthermore, the 
     provision would specify the types of centers of excellence 
     that the Secretary could establish while allowing for the 
     establishment of additional centers when appropriate. The 
     centers of excellence established under this provision would 
     serve as the primary sources for specialty care within the 
     direct care health system, and health care providers 
     throughout the system would refer beneficiaries to those 
     facilities. The provision would require the Secretary 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 enactment of this Act, which provides a plan to 
     establish specialty care centers of excellence in the 
     military health system.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 703) that 
     would amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     establish the requirements for the types of MTFs needed to 
     support the medical readiness of the Armed Forces and the 
     readiness of medical personnel. The provision would require 
     the Secretary of Defense, in collaboration with the 
     secretaries of the military departments, to submit an updated 
     Military Health System Modernization Study report to the 
     congressional defense committees within 270 days after the 
     date of enactment of this Act. In addition, the provision 
     would require the Secretary to submit, within 2 years after 
     the date of enactment of this Act, an implementation plan to 
     restructure or realign the MTFs in accordance with section 
     1079d of title 10, United States Code.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine 
     these provisions.
     Access to urgent and primary care under TRICARE program (sec. 
         704)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 704) that 
     would amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the

[[Page 15137]]

     Secretary of Defense, within 1 year of the date of enactment 
     of this Act, to improve access to urgent care services in 
     both military medical treatment facilities (MTFs) and the 
     private sector. The provision would ensure that covered 
     beneficiaries have access to urgent care services through the 
     health care provider network under the TRICARE program, 
     without the need for preauthorization, in areas where no MTFs 
     exist for those services. Finally, this provision would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that the nurse 
     advice line of the Department directs covered beneficiaries 
     seeking access to health care services to the most 
     appropriate level of care required to treat medical 
     conditions of beneficiaries, including urgent care services.
       The House amendment also contained a provision (sec. 705) 
     that would amend section 1077a of title 10, United States 
     Code, to require the Secretary of Defense, within 180 days of 
     the date of enactment of this Act, to ensure the availability 
     of primary care services for members of the Armed Forces and 
     covered beneficiaries during expanded business hours on 
     weekdays and weekends, based on the needs of the MTF to meet 
     access standards under the TRICARE Prime program and the 
     primary care utilization patterns at the MTF.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provisions.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine 
     these provisions.
     Value-based purchasing and acquisition of managed care 
         support contracts for TRICARE program (sec. 705)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 726) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a new competition 
     of all medical support contracts, except the overseas medical 
     support contract, with private sector entities under the 
     TRICARE program by January 1, 2018, upon expiration of each 
     such contract. New contracts would be competitively procured 
     and automatically renewable for a period of not more than 10 
     years unless notice for termination is provided by either 
     party not later than 180 days before contract termination. 
     The Department would award contracts with a combination of 
     local, regional and national private sector entities to 
     develop individual and institutional networks of high-
     performing health care providers. The Secretary could not 
     exercise an option to extend an existing medical support 
     contract with a private sector entity that would delay the 
     award of a new contract. Within 1 year of the award of new 
     medical support contracts, the Secretary would be required to 
     issue an open broad agency announcement to allow potential 
     contractors to propose innovative ideas and solutions to meet 
     the medical support contract needs of the Department. A 
     medical support contract awarded through the open broad 
     agency announcement would be deemed to meet the requirements 
     under section 2304 of title 10, United States Code, relating 
     to use of competitive procedures to procure services. For new 
     medical support contracts, the Department would be required 
     to include, to the extent practicable: 1) maximum flexibility 
     in network design and development; 2) integrated medical 
     management between military medical treatment facilities and 
     network providers; 3) maximum use of the full range of 
     telehealth services; 4) use of value-based reimbursement 
     methods that transfer financial risk to health care providers 
     and medical support contractors; 5) use of prevention and 
     wellness incentives to encourage beneficiaries to seek health 
     care services from high-value providers; 6) a streamlined 
     enrollment process and timely assignment of primary care 
     managers; 7) elimination of the requirement to seek 
     authorization of referrals for specialty care services; 8) 
     the use of incentives to encourage certain beneficiaries to 
     engage in medical and lifestyle intervention programs; and 9) 
     the use of financial incentives for contractors and health 
     care providers to receive an equitable share in cost savings 
     resulting from improvement in health outcomes and the 
     experience of care for beneficiaries. In establishing new 
     medical support contracts, the provision would require the 
     Secretary to: 1) assess the unique characteristics of 
     providing health care services in rural, remote, or isolated 
     locations, such as Alaska, Hawaii, and locations in the 
     contiguous 48 states; 2) consider the various challenges 
     inherent in developing robust provider networks in those 
     locations; and 3) develop a provider reimbursement rate 
     structure in those locations that ensures timely access to 
     care, high quality primary and specialty care, and 
     improvement in health outcomes. Additionally, the Secretary 
     could not modify existing medical support contracts or enter 
     into new contracts in rural, remote, or isolated locations 
     until the Secretary certifies to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives that 
     those contracts would ensure timely access to care, high 
     quality care, better health outcomes, and a better experience 
     of care. The provision would also require the Comptroller 
     General of the United States to submit a report, by January 
     1, 2019, that assesses the compliance of the Secretary with 
     the requirements of this section.
       The Senate bill contained another provision (sec. 727) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to enter into 
     contracts to provide health care, including behavioral health 
     care, to covered beneficiaries under the TRICARE program with 
     any of the following: 1) the Department of Veterans Affairs; 
     2) an Indian tribe or tribal organization that is party to 
     the Alaska Native Health Compact with the Indian Health 
     Service; and 3) an Indian tribe or tribal organization that 
     has entered into a contract with the Indian Health Service to 
     provide health care in rural Alaska or other locations in the 
     United States.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 706) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to develop and 
     implement value-based incentive programs as part of TRICARE 
     contracts to encourage health care providers under the 
     TRICARE program to improve the quality of care and the 
     experience of care for covered beneficiaries. The provision 
     would require the Secretary to brief the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on 
     the implementation plan not later than
     60 days before the Secretary modifies a TRICARE contract to 
     implement a value-based incentive program. Furthermore, the 
     provision would require the Secretary to brief the 
     committees, and any other appropriate congressional 
     committees, within 1 year after implementation and annually 
     through 2022, on the quality performance metrics and 
     expenditures related to the incentive program.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to develop and implement value-based 
     incentive programs as part of any contract awarded under 
     chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, for the provision 
     of health care services to covered beneficiaries. The 
     amendment would transfer contracting responsibility for the 
     acquisition of managed care support contracts under the 
     TRICARE program, initiated after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, from the Defense Health Agency to the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 
     Logistics. The amendment would require the Secretary to 
     develop and implement, by January 1, 2018, a new acquisition 
     strategy for managed care support contracts under the TRICARE 
     program and to modify contracts existing prior to 
     implementation of this strategy to ensure consistency with 
     the strategy.
       The conferees remain concerned about the current 
     acquisition strategy for managed care support contracts under 
     the TRICARE program. The Department's current contract 
     strategy results in routine bid protests, implementation 
     delays, high management costs, and costly contract 
     extensions. Under those contracts, the Department remains 
     solely at risk for the cost of all healthcare services 
     provided, and the adherence to fee-for-service provider 
     reimbursement fails to encourage individual and institutional 
     network providers to provide higher quality care, better 
     access to care, and higher patient satisfaction at lower 
     costs to the Department. As a result, the conferees believe 
     it is necessary to transfer contracting responsibility for 
     the acquisition of managed care support contracts under the 
     TRICARE program to the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
     Establishment of high performance military-civilian 
         integrated health delivery systems (sec. 706)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 736) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, by January 1, 2018, to 
     establish high performance military-civilian integrated 
     health delivery systems through partnerships with other 
     health systems, including local or regional health systems in 
     the private sector, and the Veterans Health Administration. 
     The Department of Defense would accomplish these partnerships 
     either through memoranda of understanding or contracts 
     between military treatment facilities and private sector 
     health systems, such as health maintenance organizations, 
     regional health organizations, integrated health systems, and 
     health care centers of excellence, or the Veterans Health 
     Administration. Under this provision, covered beneficiaries 
     would be eligible to enroll in and receive medical services 
     in the private sector component of established military-
     civilian integrated health networks. The Secretary of Defense 
     would be required to incorporate value-based reimbursement 
     methodologies into any memoranda of understanding or 
     contracts to reimburse private sector entities for medical 
     services provided to covered beneficiaries.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 707) that 
     would amend section 1096 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to enter into partnership 
     agreements between military treatment facilities and local or 
     regional health care systems to deliver health care to 
     beneficiaries in a more effective, efficient, or economical 
     manner and provide members of the Armed Forces with 
     additional training opportunities to maintain operational 
     medical force readiness.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Joint Trauma System (sec. 707)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 708) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit an 
     implementation plan, within 180 days of enactment of

[[Page 15138]]

     this Act, to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives to establish a Joint Trauma 
     System within the Defense Health Agency that promotes 
     improved trauma care to members of the Armed Forces and other 
     individuals eligible for trauma care at a military medical 
     treatment facility (MTF). The Secretary would not implement 
     this plan until a 90-day period has elapsed following the 
     date that the Comptroller General of the United States 
     provides a review of the plan to the committees. The 
     Comptroller General would have 120 days to review the plan. 
     Under this provision, the Joint Trauma System would: 1) serve 
     as the reference body for all trauma care provided across the 
     military health system; 2) establish standards of care for 
     trauma services provided at MTFs; 3) coordinate the 
     translation of research from centers of excellence of the 
     Department into clinical trauma care standards; and 4) 
     coordinate the incorporation of lessons learned from 
     military-civilian trauma education and training partnerships 
     into clinical practice. The provision would also authorize 
     the Secretary to seek to enter into an agreement with a 
     nongovernmental entity to conduct a system-wide review of the 
     military trauma system.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Joint Trauma Education and Training Directorate (sec. 708)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 734) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to implement measures to 
     improve and maintain the combat casualty care and trauma care 
     skills for health care providers of the Department of Defense 
     by January 1, 2018. The provision would require the Secretary 
     to: 1) conduct a comprehensive review of combat casualty care 
     and wartime trauma systems from January 1, 2001, to the 
     present time; 2) expand military-civilian trauma training 
     sites to provide enhanced training for integrated combat 
     trauma teams; 3) establish a personnel management plan for 
     important wartime medical specialties; 4) develop 
     standardized tactical combat casualty care instructions and 
     training for all servicemembers; 5) develop a comprehensive 
     trauma care registry; 6) develop quality of care outcome 
     measures for combat casualty care; and 7) conduct research to 
     understand better the causes of morbidity and mortality of 
     servicemembers in combat.
       The House amendment contained a provision (Sec. 709) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a Joint 
     Trauma Education and Training Directorate to ensure military 
     traumatologists maintain readiness skills and can be rapidly 
     deployed in future armed conflicts. Under this provision, the 
     Secretary would establish enduring partnerships with civilian 
     academic medical centers and large metropolitan teaching 
     hospitals with level one trauma centers to embed combat 
     casualty care teams, led by military traumatologists, within 
     trauma centers of medical centers and hospitals. The 
     provision would require the Secretary to conduct an analysis 
     to determine the number of military traumatologists, by 
     specialty, that the Department of Defense needs to meet 
     combatant commander requirements. Finally, this provision 
     would require the Secretary to submit an implementation plan 
     to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives by July 1, 2017.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine 
     these two provisions.
     Standardized system for scheduling medical appointments at 
         military treatment facilities (sec. 709)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 732) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to implement, by January 1, 
     2018, a standardized medical appointment scheduling system at 
     military treatment facilities (MTFs) throughout the military 
     health system. Under this provision, no MTF would have the 
     authority to use an appointment scheduling system other than 
     the standardized system. Each MTF would make available a 
     centralized appointment system that allows beneficiaries to 
     make appointments, either by telephone or by an internet-
     connected device, including by smartphone application, 
     through an online scheduling system available 24 hours per 
     day, 7 days per week. The online appointment system would be 
     able to send automated email and text message reminders to 
     patients.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 710) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that 
     military treatment facilities implement: 1) first call 
     resolution for beneficiaries contacting the facility by 
     telephone; 2) standardized appointment scheduling that 
     includes capabilities to schedule follow-up appointments 
     within a 6-month period or longer from the date of the 
     appointment request and to remind beneficiaries of future 
     appointments; 3) increased provider productivity standards to 
     improve access to care and medical readiness requirements; 
     and 4) maximum use of telehealth and secure messaging between 
     beneficiaries and health care providers. This provision would 
     require the Secretary to implement the requirements by 
     February 1, 2017, and provide a briefing on implementation to 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives by March 1, 2017.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to: 1) implement a standardized 
     appointment system in the military health system by January 
     1, 2018, and provide to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and the House of Representatives, by January 1, 
     2017, a comprehensive plan to implement the system; 2) 
     implement standards for productivity of health care providers 
     at MTFs; and 3) submit a report to the committees, by March 1 
     of each year, on the total number of missed appointments at 
     MTFs for which a covered beneficiary failed to appear without 
     prior notification during the 1-year period preceding the 
     submission of the report. Additionally, the provision would 
     require the Secretary to brief the committees on 
     implementation of the standardized appointment system and 
     health care provider productivity standards by February 1, 
     2018.

                 Subtitle B--Other Health Care Benefits

     Extended TRICARE program coverage for certain members of the 
         National Guard and dependents during certain disaster 
         response duty (sec. 711)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 722) that 
     would amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     extend TRICARE program coverage for certain members of the 
     National Guard and dependents performing certain disaster 
     response duty if the period immediately follows a period of 
     full-time National Guard duty. Under this provision, a member 
     would not receive extended TRICARE program coverage if a 
     governor of a state or the mayor of the District of Columbia 
     (DC) determines that such coverage is not in the best 
     interest of the member, state, or DC. This provision would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to charge a state or DC 
     for the costs of providing extended TRICARE program coverage 
     to members of the National Guard and their dependents.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that provides 
     discretionary authority to extend TRICARE program coverage 
     for certain members of the National Guard and dependents 
     performing certain disaster response duty if the period 
     immediately follows a period of full-time National Guard 
     duty. Additionally, the amendment would require the Secretary 
     of Defense to charge a state or DC for the costs of providing 
     extended TRICARE program coverage to members of the National 
     Guard and their dependents if such coverage is extended.
     Continuity of health care coverage for reserve components 
         (sec. 712)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 707) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot 
     program jointly with the Director of the Office of Personnel 
     Management (Director), of at least 5 years duration, to 
     provide commercial health insurance coverage to eligible 
     reserve component members who enroll for either individual, 
     self plus one, or self and family coverage. If the Secretary 
     and the Director determine that a pilot program is feasible, 
     the Director would contract with qualified health insurance 
     carriers to provide eligible beneficiaries with a variety of 
     high quality health benefits plans, which could vary by plan 
     design, covered benefits, geography, and price. Reserve 
     component members and their family members would not be 
     eligible to enroll in a health plan in the pilot program if 
     they are eligible to enroll in a health benefits plan under 
     the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.
       Under the pilot program, the Secretary could contract with 
     qualified health insurance carriers to provide coverage for 
     health care services provided at military treatment 
     facilities to pilot program participants, and the Department 
     would receive payment from those carriers for any services 
     provided at those facilities. Family members of an eligible 
     reserve component member could remain covered under the pilot 
     program even when the reserve component member became 
     ineligible for coverage while serving on Active Duty for a 
     period greater than 30 days.
       In addition, an eligible reserve component member would be 
     responsible for payment of all cost sharing amounts 
     applicable to the health benefits plan plus an annual premium 
     amount equal to 28 percent of the total annual amount of the 
     premium under the plan. During a period in which a reserve 
     component member served on Active Duty for more than 30 days, 
     the premium amount and cost shares would be zero for eligible 
     family members.
       In consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, 
     the Secretary would provide recommendations and data to the 
     Director on matters regarding military treatment facilities, 
     matters unique to eligible reserve component members and 
     their families, and any other guidance necessary to 
     administer the pilot program. The Secretary and the Director 
     would jointly establish a funding mechanism for the pilot 
     program, and the Secretary would make funds available to the 
     Director, without fiscal year limitation, for payment of 
     health plan costs and administrative expenses.

[[Page 15139]]

       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 712) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to study options for 
     providing health care coverage to certain current and former 
     members of the Selected Reserve and to submit a report of the 
     findings and recommendations to the congressional defense 
     committees within 180 days of the date of enactment of this 
     Act.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine 
     these provisions. The resultant provision would require the 
     Director to submit to the Secretary of Defense, on an annual 
     basis during each year the pilot program may be conducted, 
     information on the use of health care benefits under the 
     pilot program. The provision would also require the Secretary 
     to submit an initial and a final report on the pilot program 
     to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives. Finally, the provision would 
     clarify the elements required in the study of options for 
     providing health care coverage that improves the continuity 
     of health care provided to certain current and former members 
     of the Selected Reserve.
     Provision of hearing aids to dependents of retired members 
         (sec. 713)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 721) that 
     would amend section 1077 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to sell hearing aids to 
     dependents of retired members of the uniformed services.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Coverage of medically necessary food and vitamins for certain 
         conditions under the TRICARE program (sec. 714)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 704) that would 
     amend section 1077 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     provide TRICARE program coverage for medically necessary 
     food, including the equipment and supplies necessary to 
     administer that food, and vitamins for digestive disorders 
     and inherited metabolic disorders.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Eligibility of certain beneficiaries under the TRICARE 
         program for participation in the Federal Employees Dental 
         and Vision Insurance Program (sec. 715)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 703) that would 
     amend sections 8951 and 8981 of title 5, United States Code, 
     to require the Secretary of Defense to enter into an 
     agreement with the Director of the Office of Personnel 
     Management to offer eligible beneficiaries the opportunity to 
     purchase dental and vision insurance currently available to 
     federal employees under the Federal Employees Dental and 
     Vision Insurance Program.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make this 
     provision effective on or after January 1, 2018.
     Applied behavior analysis (sec. 716)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 758) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, on the date of enactment of 
     this Act, to reinstate the reimbursement rates in effect on 
     March 1, 2016, for the provision of applied behavior analysis 
     therapy and to preserve those rates throughout the duration 
     of the Comprehensive Autism Care Demonstration program 
     conducted under section 705 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239; 
     10 U.S.C. 1092 note), as extended and modified by the 
     Secretary.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 734) that 
     would require the Secretary to ensure that the reimbursement 
     rates for providers of applied behavior analysis are not less 
     than the rates in effect on March 31, 2016. The provision 
     would require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health 
     Affairs, upon completion of the demonstration, to conduct an 
     analysis of the program and to submit a report to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     analysis to include a determination of whether the use of 
     applied behavioral analysis under the demonstration improved 
     outcomes for beneficiaries with autism spectrum disorder.
     Evaluation and treatment of veterans and civilians at 
         military treatment facilities (sec. 717)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 706) that would 
     authorize a veteran or civilian to be evaluated and treated 
     at a military treatment facility (MTF) if the Secretary of 
     Defense determines that: 1) the evaluation and treatment of 
     the individual is necessary to maintain the medical readiness 
     skills and competencies of health care providers at the 
     facility; 2) health care providers at the facility have the 
     competencies, skills, and abilities to treat the individual; 
     and 3) the facility has available space, equipment, and 
     materials. The provision would authorize an MTF to bill and 
     accept reimbursement for services provided to a civilian 
     patient. Under this provision, the Secretary of Defense would 
     be required to enter into a memorandum of understanding with 
     the Secretary of Veterans Affairs whereby the Secretary of 
     Veterans Affairs would reimburse an MTF for the costs of any 
     health care services provided to individuals eligible for 
     health care services from the Department of Veterans Affairs 
     (VA).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would: 1) 
     prioritize the evaluation and treatment of covered 
     beneficiaries in MTFs ahead of the evaluation and treatment 
     of veterans and civilians in those facilities; 2) require an 
     MTF to bill and to accept reimbursement from a civilian or a 
     third-party payer on behalf of the individual for the costs 
     of health care services provided to the individual; and 3) 
     require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a memorandum 
     of agreement with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs under 
     which the Secretary of Veterans Affairs would reimburse an 
     MTF, using a prospective payment methodology, for the costs 
     of any health care services provided to an individual 
     eligible for health care services from the VA.
     Enhancement of use of telehealth services in military health 
         system (sec. 718)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 705) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, within 1 year of the date 
     of enactment of this Act, to incorporate the use of 
     telehealth services throughout the direct and purchased care 
     components of the military health system. The provision would 
     require the Department to make telehealth services available 
     to: 1) improve access to primary care, urgent care, 
     behavioral health care, and specialty care; 2) perform health 
     assessments; 3) provide diagnoses, treatments, interventions, 
     and supervision; 4) monitor individual health outcomes of 
     covered beneficiaries with chronic diseases or conditions; 5) 
     improve communication between health care providers and 
     patients; and 6) reduce health care costs for beneficiaries 
     and the Department of Defense.
       The provision would require the Secretary to establish 
     standardized payment methods to reimburse health care 
     providers for telehealth services provided to covered 
     beneficiaries in the purchased care component of the TRICARE 
     program to incentivize the provision of telehealth services. 
     The provision would also require the Secretary to reduce or 
     eliminate co-payments or cost-shares for covered 
     beneficiaries for receipt of telehealth services.
       The provision would require the Secretary to submit an 
     initial report, within 180 days of the date of enactment of 
     this Act, to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives, describing the full range 
     of telehealth services to be available in the direct and 
     purchased care components of the military health system. 
     Within 3 years after the date of incorporation of telehealth 
     services throughout the military health system, the Secretary 
     would be required to submit a final report to the committees 
     describing the impact made by use of telehealth services in 
     the direct and purchased care components of the military 
     health system.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     require the implementation of the use of telehealth services 
     throughout the direct and purchased care components of the 
     military health system not later than 18 months after the 
     date of enactment of this Act and would delete the 
     requirement that the location of the provider be considered 
     to be the location of care.
     Authorization of reimbursement by Department of Defense to 
         entities carrying out state vaccination programs for 
         costs of vaccines provided to covered beneficiaries (sec. 
         719)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 757) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to reimburse an entity 
     carrying out a state vaccination program for the cost of 
     providing vaccines to covered beneficiaries. Under this 
     provision, the amount of reimbursement could not exceed the 
     amount that the Department would reimburse an entity for 
     providing vaccines to covered beneficiaries under the TRICARE 
     program.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

                 Subtitle C--Health Care Administration

     Authority to convert military medical and dental positions to 
         civilian medical and dental positions (sec. 721)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 724) that would 
     amend chapter 49 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Department of Defense to convert military 
     medical and dental positions to civilian positions if: 1) 
     conversion would not result in a loss of a military-essential 
     position; 2) conversion would not result in degradation of 
     medical care or the medical readiness of the Armed Forces; 
     and 3) conversion to a civilian position would be more cost 
     effective.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense, in collaboration with the service 
     secretaries, to establish a process to define military

[[Page 15140]]

     medical and dental personnel requirements necessary to meet 
     operational medical force readiness requirements. The 
     amendment would authorize conversion of a military medical or 
     dental position to a civilian medical or dental position if 
     the Secretary determines that the position is unnecessary to 
     meet operational medical force readiness requirements. 
     Additionally, the amendment would require the Secretary to 
     convert an applicable military position to a civilian 
     position with a level of compensation commensurate with the 
     skills and experience necessary to conduct the duties of the 
     civilian position. The Secretary would not be authorized to 
     place any limitation on the grade or level to which the 
     military position would be converted. Finally, the amendment 
     would require the Secretary to submit a report, within 90 
     days of enactment of this Act, to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives that: 
     1) describes the process established to define military 
     medical and dental personnel requirements necessary to meet 
     operational medical force readiness requirements; and 2) 
     provides a complete list, by position, of the military 
     medical and dental requirements necessary to meet operational 
     medical force readiness requirements. The amendment would not 
     authorize conversions of military medical or dental positions 
     to civilian positions until 180 days after the date on which 
     the Secretary submits the report to the committees.
     Prospective payment of funds necessary to provide medical 
         care for the Coast Guard (sec. 722)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 731) that 
     would amend chapter 13 of title 14, United States Code, to 
     require the Secretary of Homeland Security to make a 
     prospective payment to the Secretary of Defense of an amount 
     that represents the actuarial valuation of medical treatment 
     or care provided to members of the Coast Guard, former 
     members of the Coast Guard, and their dependents at 
     facilities under the jurisdiction of the Department of 
     Defense except during any period in which the Coast Guard 
     operates as a service in the Navy.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Reduction of administrative requirements relating to 
         automatic renewal of enrollments in TRICARE Prime (sec. 
         723)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 739) that would 
     eliminate an annual requirement that the managed care support 
     contractors under the TRICARE program generate and mail an 
     enrollment renewal letter to all beneficiaries enrolled in 
     TRICARE Prime.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Modification of authority of Uniformed Services University of 
         the Health Sciences to include undergraduate and other 
         medical education and training programs (sec. 724)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 753) that would 
     amend sections 2112(a) and 2113 of title 10, United States 
     Code, to authorize the Uniformed Services University of the 
     Health Sciences to grant certificates, certification, and 
     undergraduate degree programs in addition to advanced 
     degrees.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Adjustment of medical services, personnel authorized 
         strengths, and infrastructure in military health system 
         to maintain readiness and core competencies of health 
         care providers (sec. 725)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 735) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to implement measures, 
     within 180 days of the date of enactment of this Act, to 
     maintain the critical wartime medical readiness skills and 
     core competencies of health care providers within the Armed 
     Forces. The provision would require the Secretary to 
     implement a measure to ensure the Services do not substitute 
     a medical specialty required for medical force readiness with 
     another medical specialty. Additionally, the provision would 
     require the Secretary to: 1) modify medical services; 2) 
     reduce authorized strengths of military and civilian 
     personnel; and 3) reduce or eliminate unnecessary 
     infrastructure in the military health system such that 
     military treatment facilities would provide only those 
     services required to maintain the critical wartime medical 
     skills and core competencies of health care providers and to 
     ensure the medical readiness of the Armed Forces. Moreover, 
     this provision would require the Comptroller General of the 
     United States to provide a report, within 18 months of the 
     date of enactment of this Act, which assesses the 
     Department's implementation of this provision, to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary to implement measures, within 1 year of the date of 
     enactment of this Act, to maintain the critical wartime 
     medical readiness skills and core competencies of health care 
     providers within the Armed Forces. In implementing those 
     measures, the Secretary must ensure that the medical services 
     provided in military medical treatment facilities (MTFs), the 
     authorized strengths of military and civilian personnel 
     working in MTFs, and the infrastructure of MTFs maintain the 
     critical wartime medical readiness skills and core 
     competencies of health care providers within the Armed 
     Forces. The amendment would not require the Secretary to 
     implement any of these measures at MTFs located in a foreign 
     country if the Secretary determines that beneficiaries in 
     that country would not have access to medical services in 
     that country similar to access to medical services for 
     covered beneficiaries in the United States.
     Program to eliminate variability in health outcomes and 
         improve quality of health care services delivered in 
         military medical treatment facilities (sec. 726)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 730) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a program, 
     beginning not later than January 1, 2018, to: 1) establish 
     best practices for the delivery of health care services for 
     certain diseases or conditions at military treatment 
     facilities (MTFs); 2) incorporate those best practices into 
     the daily operations of MTFs participating in the program; 
     and 3) eliminate variability in health outcomes and improve 
     the quality of health care services delivered at MTFs. Under 
     this provision, the Secretary would conduct the program in 
     three phases and be required to complete each phase within 
     180 days following initiation of that phase. The initiation 
     of phases two and three would immediately follow completion 
     of the previous phase. The provision would require the 
     Secretary, during the conduct of the program, to continuously 
     monitor and adjust the health care services delivered at MTFs 
     and the number of patients enrolled at those facilities to 
     ensure: 1) a high degree of safety and quality in the 
     delivery of health care at those facilities; and 2) the 
     delivery of only those health care services critical for 
     maintaining operational medical force readiness and the 
     medical readiness of the Armed Forces.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary, by January 1, 2018, to implement a program to 
     establish best practices for the delivery of health care 
     services for certain diseases or conditions at MTFs, as 
     selected by the Secretary, and to incorporate those best 
     practices into the daily operations of MTFs to eliminate 
     variability in health outcomes and to improve the quality of 
     care at MTFs. In conducting this program, the Secretary shall 
     develop, implement, monitor, and update clinical practice 
     guidelines reflecting best practices for the delivery of 
     health care services. The amendment would require the 
     Secretary to monitor the implementation of the clinical 
     practice guidelines and to update those guidelines 
     periodically through a process of continual assessment of 
     evidence-based best practices within the direct care 
     component of the military health system and the private 
     sector.
     Acquisition strategy for health care professional staffing 
         services (sec. 727)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 738) that would 
     amend section 725(a) of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
     McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2015 (Public Law 113-291), to require the Department of 
     Defense to implement a performance-based, strategic sourcing 
     contract for acquiring health care professional staffing 
     services for the military health system. The provision would 
     require all components of the military health system to use 
     the contract, and the Department would be required to develop 
     a process for obtaining a waiver, based on documented 
     rationale, to use another contract or acquisition approach.
       The Senate bill also contained a provision (sec. 737) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into 
     centrally-managed, performance-based contracts with private 
     sector entities to augment the delivery of health care 
     services at military treatment facilities (MTFs) with limited 
     or restricted ability to provide services such as primary 
     care or expanded-hours urgent care. Under this provision, 
     contracts would be designed to purchase improvement in health 
     outcomes for covered beneficiaries seeking health care 
     services in MTFs. This provision would require the Secretary 
     to submit a plan to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives, within 180 days of 
     enactment of this Act, that includes: 1) a description of the 
     number and types of contracts the Secretary intends to 
     procure; and 2) a description of the performance measures 
     used in procuring performance-based contracts.
       The House amendment contained no similar provisions.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would combine 
     these provisions. The amendment would require the Secretary 
     of Defense to develop and carry out a performance-based, 
     strategic sourcing acquisition strategy for health care 
     professional services at MTFs located in a state. The new 
     acquisition strategy, as developed by the Secretary,

[[Page 15141]]

     would require all MTFs to use the contracts awarded under the 
     strategy, but it would provide a process for an MTF to obtain 
     a waiver of this requirement to use another acquisition 
     strategy. The amendment would require the Secretary to submit 
     a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives, by July 1, 2017, on the 
     status of implementing the new acquisition strategy. Finally, 
     the amendment would repeal section 725 of the Carl Levin and 
     Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 10 U.S.C. 1091 
     note).
     Adoption of core quality performance metrics (sec. 728)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 711) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to adopt the core 
     quality performance measures agreed upon by a collaborative 
     group of federal agencies, private sector health insurance 
     plans, national physician organizations, employers, and 
     health care consumers. These core quality performance 
     measures would be used to evaluate the performance of the 
     direct care and purchased care components of the military 
     health system.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would include in 
     the core quality metrics such other sets of core quality 
     performance metrics released by the Core Quality Measures 
     Collaborative as the Secretary considers appropriate. The 
     amendment would amend section 1073b of title 10, United 
     States Code, to require the Secretary to include the core 
     quality performance metrics mandated under this section in 
     those metrics publicly available on an Internet website of 
     the Department of Defense.
     Improvement of health outcomes and control of costs of health 
         care under TRICARE program through programs to involve 
         covered beneficiaries (sec. 729)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 728) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, by January 1, 2018, to 
     implement programs to increase involvement of covered 
     beneficiaries in making health care decisions and to 
     encourage beneficiaries to share more responsibility for the 
     improvement in their health outcomes through participation in 
     medical and lifestyle intervention programs. This provision 
     would incentivize those beneficiaries with chronic diseases 
     or conditions, such as diabetes, asthma, or depression, or 
     those exhibiting unhealthy behaviors, such as tobacco use or 
     obesity, to participate in comprehensive medical or lifestyle 
     intervention programs designed to improve beneficiaries' 
     health outcomes and functional status while controlling 
     health care costs for those beneficiaries and the Department. 
     This provision would also authorize the Secretary to charge 
     and collect a fee from a covered beneficiary, other than an 
     Active-Duty servicemember, for failure to notify a military 
     treatment facility, within 24 hours of a scheduled 
     appointment with a health care provider, that the beneficiary 
     will be unable to attend the appointment. The Secretary of 
     Defense would be required to submit a report to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, by January 1, 2020, that describes 
     implementation of the programs mandated under this provision.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would also require 
     the Secretary to establish a program to incentivize the 
     maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, such as exercise and 
     weight management, among covered beneficiaries. The amendment 
     would not authorize the Secretary to charge and collect a fee 
     from a covered beneficiary, other than an Active-Duty 
     servicemember, for failure to notify a military treatment 
     facility, within 24 hours of a scheduled appointment with a 
     health care provider, that the beneficiary will be unable to 
     attend the appointment.
       The conferees are concerned, however, about the high number 
     of failed medical appointments in the military health system. 
     From October 2014 through September 2015, there were over 1.6 
     million scheduled appointments missed by all categories of 
     beneficiaries. The large number of failed appointments 
     negatively affects access to care for all beneficiaries. The 
     conferees strongly urge the Secretary to implement programs 
     to minimize the number of failed appointments in military 
     hospitals and clinics.
     Accountability for the performance of the military health 
         system of certain leaders within the system (sec. 730)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 722) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense and the secretaries of the 
     military departments, within 180 days of the date of 
     enactment of this Act, to incorporate performance 
     accountability measures into the annual performance reviews 
     of certain leadership positions in the military health care 
     system. The provision would prohibit payment of a performance 
     bonus to a civilian employee of the Department of Defense 
     occupying a position, specified in the provision, unless the 
     operations of the military health care system met or exceeded 
     performance measures during the period of the employee's 
     annual performance review. The Secretary of Defense would 
     submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives, within 180 days of 
     enactment of this Act, which describes the incorporation of 
     performance accountability measures in the annual performance 
     reviews of leadership positions in the military health care 
     system.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to determine which military and civilian 
     leaders in the military health system would be required to 
     have measures of accountability incorporated into their 
     performance reviews and would delete the prohibition on 
     performance bonuses for civilian employees who do not meet or 
     exceed performance measures.
     Establishment of advisory committees for military treatment 
         facilities (sec. 731)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 731) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to establish an advisory 
     committee for each military medical treatment facility (MTF). 
     Each advisory committee would include six beneficiaries 
     eligible for health care services in the military health 
     system: 1) two Active-Duty servicemembers; 2) two Active-Duty 
     family members; and 3) two military retirees.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would not 
     prescribe the composition of members of an advisory committee 
     established by the Secretary. The amendment would also 
     clarify that each advisory committee shall provide advice to 
     the commanding officer or director of a MTF on the 
     administration and activities of the facility as it relates 
     to the experience of care for beneficiaries.

                 Subtitle D--Reports and Other Matters

         Demonstration Fund and report on implementation of 
         information technology capabilities (sec. 741)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 755) that would 
     extend the authority for the joint Department of Defense-
     Department of Veterans Affairs demonstration fund from 
     September 30, 2017, to September 30, 2018.

     111-84) that remain unimplemented as of the date of the 
     report.
     Pilot program on expansion of use of physician assistants to 
         provide mental health care to members of the Armed Forces 
         (sec. 742)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 751) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to commence a physician 
     assistant psychiatric fellowship pilot program, within 1 year 
     of the date of enactment of this Act, to assess the 
     feasibility and advisability of expanding the use of 
     physician assistants specializing in psychiatric medicine. 
     The pilot program would consist of two rounds with each round 
     taking a maximum of 2 years to complete. Under this 
     provision, the Secretary would select a least five 
     individuals to participate in the pilot program for each 
     round. Within 180 days after the date the Secretary completes 
     the first round of the psychiatric fellowship pilot program, 
     the Secretary would submit an initial report to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives on the program. Subsequently, the Secretary 
     would submit a final report that updates the initial report 
     within 90 days after termination of the pilot program. The 
     authority for the pilot program would terminate upon 
     completion of the second round of the psychiatric fellowship 
     program.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     the Secretary to conduct a pilot program to assess the 
     feasibility and advisability of expanding the use of 
     physician assistants specializing in psychiatric medicine at 
     medical facilities of the Department of Defense. If the 
     Secretary conducts the pilot program, the Secretary would 
     submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives on the pilot program 
     within 90 days of completion of the program.
     Pilot program for prescription drug acquisition cost parity 
         in the TRICARE pharmacy benefits program (sec. 743)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 745) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot 
     program to evaluate whether extending additional discounts 
     for prescription drugs filled at TRICARE retail network 
     pharmacies would either maintain or reduce prescription drug 
     costs for the Department of Defense. If the Secretary decides 
     to conduct the pilot program, the Secretary would submit to 
     the

[[Page 15142]]

     congressional defense committees: 1) an initial report, 
     within 90 days of enactment of this Act, containing an 
     implementation plan for the pilot program; 2) an interim 
     report within 180 days after the pilot program begins; and 3) 
     a final report, within 90 days of the end of the pilot 
     program, describing the results of the program.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     the Secretary, in conducting the pilot program, to allow any 
     TRICARE beneficiaries, other than Medicare-eligible 
     beneficiaries, to participate in the pilot program.
       The amendment would also modify the requirements for the 
     final report.
     Pilot program on display of wait times at urgent care clinics 
         and pharmacies of military medical treatment facilities 
         (sec. 744)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 733) that would 
     require the commander or director of a military treatment 
     facility, by January 1, 2018, to display in a conspicuous 
     location at each urgent care clinic, emergency department, 
     and pharmacy in a military treatment facility (MTF) an 
     electronic sign that displays the current average wait time 
     either to be seen by a qualified medical provider or to 
     receive a filled prescription of a pharmaceutical agent. The 
     provision would prescribe how the commander or director 
     should determine the average wait times for beneficiaries at 
     urgent care clinics, emergency departments, and pharmacies in 
     military treatment facilities.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 746) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to study the 
     feasibility of displaying average wait times at urgent care 
     clinics, pharmacies, and emergency departments of MTFs and to 
     submit a report, which includes the estimated costs for 
     displaying wait times, to the Committees on Armed Services of 
     the Senate and the House of Representatives by March 1, 2017.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot program, not later 
     than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, for the 
     display of wait times in urgent care clinics and pharmacies 
     of MTFs. The provision would require the Secretary to submit 
     a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives within 90 days of completion 
     of the pilot program that would include, among the report 
     elements, a determination of the feasibility of expanding the

     those medications and by educating patients and family 
     members, with special emphasis on adolescents, on the risks 
     associated with opioid medications.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Incorporation into survey by Department of Defense of 
         questions on experiences of members of the Armed Forces 
         with family planning services and counseling (sec. 747)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 759) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, within 90 days after the 
     date of enactment of this Act, to begin action to integrate 
     into certain surveys administered by the Department of 
     Defense questions designed to obtain information on the 
     experiences of service women with family planning and 
     counseling.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense, within 90 days of enactment of this 
     Act, to initiate action to integrate into the the Health 
     Related Behavior Survey of Active-Duty Military Personnel 
     questions designed to obtain information on the experiences

     Assessment of transition to TRICARE program by families of 
         members of reserve components called to Active Duty and 
         elimination of certain charges for such families (sec. 
         748)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 760) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense, within 180 days of 
     enactment of this Act, to complete an assessment of the 
     extent to which families of members of the reserve components 
     of the Armed Forces serving on Active Duty, pursuant to a 
     call to or order to Active Duty for a period of more than 30 
     days, experience difficulties in transitioning from health 
     care arrangements relied upon when the member is not in such 
     an Active-Duty status to health benefits under the TRICARE 
     program. Within 180 days after completing the assessment, the 
     Secretary shall submit a report detailing the results of the 
     assessment to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives. This provision would also 
     amend section 1079(h)(4)(C)(ii) of title 10, United States 
     Code, to expand the authority of the Secretary to eliminate 
     balance billing for families of members of the reserve

         departments (sec. 749)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 752) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to implement a phased plan, 
     within 1 year of the date of enactment of this Act, to 
     eliminate those graduate medical education programs of the 
     Department that do not directly support the medical force 
     readiness requirements for health care providers within the 
     Armed Forces. The Secretary would provide a report, within 
     180 days of the date of enactment of this Act, which provides 
     the Department's plan to eliminate graduate medical education 
     programs non-essential for medical force readiness.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense, within 1 year of the date of enactment 
     of this Act, to establish and implement a process to provide 
     oversight of the graduate medical education programs of the 
     military departments to ensure that those programs fully 
     support the operational medical force readiness requirements 
     for health care providers of the Armed Forces and the medical 
     readiness of the Armed Forces. The amendment would require 
     the Secretary, within 30 days of the establishment of the 
     oversight process, to submit a report to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     that describes the process. In addition, the amendment would 
     require the Comptroller General of the United States to

       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     Modifications of cost-sharing requirements for the TRICARE 
         pharmacy benefits program and treatment of certain 
         pharmaceutical agents
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 702) that would 
     modify cost-sharing amounts for the TRICARE pharmacy benefits 
     program for years 2017 through 2025. After 2025,

[[Page 15143]]

     the Department could establish cost-sharing amounts equal to 
     the cost-sharing amounts for the previous year adjusted by an 
     amount, if any, to reflect increases in costs of 
     pharmaceutical agents and pharmacy dispensing fees. With this 
     provision, beneficiaries would continue to receive 
     pharmaceuticals at no cost in military medical treatment 
     facilities. Under this provision, there would be no changes 
     to cost-sharing amounts for survivors of members who died on 
     Active Duty or for disabled retirees and their family 
     members. The provision would authorize the Secretary of 
     Defense, upon recommendation from the Pharmacy and 
     Therapeutics Committee and review by the Uniform Formulary 
     Beneficiary Advisory Panel, to exclude from the pharmacy 
     benefits program any pharmaceutical agent that the Secretary 
     determines provides little or no value to covered 
     beneficiaries and the Department. Additionally, the Secretary 
     would give preferential status to any non-generic 
     pharmaceutical agent on the uniform formulary by treating it, 
     for the purposes of cost-sharing, as a generic product under 
     the TRICARE retail pharmacy and mail order programs. Finally, 
     the provision would authorize the Secretary to adopt special 
     reimbursement methods, amounts, and procedures in medical 
     contracts to encourage physicians to use high-value 
     pharmaceutical agents and to discourage use of low-value 
     agents.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Pilot program on treatment of members of the Armed Forces for 
         post-traumatic stress disorder related to military sexual 
         trauma
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 708) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot 
     program, of not more than 3 years duration, to award 
     competitive grants to community partners to provide intensive 
     outpatient programs to treat members of the Armed Forces 
     suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder resulting from 
     military sexual trauma, including treatment for substance use 
     disorder, depression, and other issues related to those 
     conditions.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Selection of commanders and directors of military treatment 
         facilities and tours of duty of commanders of such 
         facilities
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 723) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to develop common 
     qualifications and core competencies required for selection 
     of commanders or directors of military medical treatment 
     facilities. The provision would also establish a minimum 
     length of 4 years for tours of duty, with limited exceptions, 
     for those commanders or directors to ensure greater stability 
     in health system executive management at each facility and 
     throughout the military health system.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Use of mefloquine for malaria
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 733) that 
     would: 1) limit the use of mefloquine for malaria prophylaxis 
     to servicemembers with intolerance or contraindications to 
     other chemoprophylaxis agents; 2) require licensed medical 
     providers to prescribe mefloquine on an individual basis; and 
     3) require medical providers to counsel servicemembers on the 
     potential side effects of the drug and to provide written 
     patient information required by the Food and Drug 
     Administration.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that mefloquine is one of several drugs 
     recommended by the Centers for Disease Control to prevent 
     malaria and to treat certain forms of the disease. The 
     conferees are concerned, however, that mefloquine may produce 
     serious neuropsychiatric side effects such as depression, 
     auditory and visual hallucinations, anxiety, and suicidal 
     ideation. The conferees urge the Department of Defense to 
     limit the prescription of mefloquine to those servicemembers 
     who may be unable to take other first-line anti-malarial 
     drugs. If medical providers must prescribe mefloquine to 
     certain servicemembers, providers must ensure that those 
     servicemembers understand the potential adverse effects of 
     the drug.
     Mental health resources for members of the military services 
         at high risk of suicide
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 741) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to: 1) develop a 
     methodology that identifies servicemembers and military units 
     at high risk of suicide; and 2) provide additional 
     preventative and mental health treatment resources for 
     servicemembers.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     available for advanced development for research, development, 
     test, and evaluation for the Defense Health Program for 
     fiscal year 2017 may be used to award grants to medical 
     researchers and universities to support research into early 
     detection of chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Active oscillating negative pressure treatment
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 743) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to consider using non-
     invasive technologies, such as active oscillating negative 
     pressure, to treat servicemembers who have incurred injuries 
     from blast-related events.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Report on feasibility of including acupuncture and 
         chiropractic services for retirees under TRICARE program
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 747) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees on the feasibility of

     TRICARE program to beneficiaries who are retired members of 
     the uniformed Services.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Clarification of submission of reports on longitudinal study 
         on traumatic brain injury
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 748) that 
     would clarify that section 1080 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 
     129 Stat. 1000; 10 U.S.C. 111 note) should not apply to 
     reports submitted by the Secretary of Defense to Congress 
     under section 721 of the John Warner National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364; 
     120 Stat. 2294).
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Increased collaboration with NIH to combat triple negative 
         breast cancer
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 749) that 
     would require the Department of Defense to: 1) collaborate 
     with the National Institutes of Health to identify genetic 
     and molecular targets and biomarkers for triple negative 
     breast cancer; and 2) provide information in biomarker 
     selection, drug discovery, and clinical trials design to 
     enable early identification of this form of breast cancer and 
     development of multiple targeted therapies for the disease.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Memoranda of agreement with institutions of higher education 
         that offer degrees in allopathic or osteopathic medicine
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 754) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to enter into memoranda of 
     agreement with local or regional allopathic or osteopathic 
     schools of medicine to establish military treatment 
     facilities as affiliate teaching hospitals.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that the Department of Defense has 
     existing authority to enter into agreements with medical 
     schools to establish military treatment facilities as 
     affiliate teaching hospitals, and the conferees strongly urge 
     the Department to expand those affiliations. By sharing 
     training facilities, staffing, and material resources, the 
     conferees believe these new academic affiliations could help 
     improve and sustain operational medical force readiness and 
     serve as productive recruiting grounds for new military 
     physicians.
     Prohibition on conduct of certain medical research and 
         development projects
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 756) that would 
     prohibit the Secretary of Defense and each service secretary 
     from funding or conducting a medical research and development 
     project unless the secretary concerned determines that the 
     project would protect, enhance, or restore the health and 
     safety of members of the Armed Forces.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees express concern regarding the amount of 
     congressional funding for medical research in the Department 
     of Defense's (DOD) Congressionally Directed Medical Research 
     Program. Since 1992, Congress has appropriated almost $10 
     billion for medical research--most of it outside of DOD's 
     core medical research mission and not requested in the 
     Department's annual budget requests.

         for children of members of the Armed Forces
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 762) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees 
     on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives a report setting forth a plan of the 
     Department to improve pediatric care and related services for 
     children of members of the Armed Forces.

                                Matters

             Subtitle A--Acquisition Policy and Management

     Rapid acquisition authority amendments (sec. 801)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 801) that would 
     amend section 806 of the Bob Stump National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-314) 
     to better integrate and conform the provision with the rapid 
     acquisition authorities established in section 804 of the

     there is a vacancy in the position of the Service Acquisition 
     Executive.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Modernization of services acquisition (sec. 803)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 804) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to revise the Department of 
     Defense Instruction 5000.74, dated January 6, 2016.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to review and, if necessary, revise 
     Department of Defense Instruction 5000.74, dated January 5, 
     2016, and other guidance pertaining to the acquisition of 
     services not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act. The amendment also would expand, from 
     the acquisition workforce to all Department of Defense 
     employees engaged in the procurement of services, the 
     workforce to be developed and trained on the acquisition of 
     services.
     Defense Modernization Account amendments (sec. 804)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 899B) that 
     would amend section 2216 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     clarify authorizations for the Defense Modernization Account.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would exclude the 
     transfer of funds that support installations and facilities 
     to the Defense Modernization Account. The amendment would set 
     a $1.0 billion limit on the total balance of the account and 
     require that an acquisition program milestone decision 
     authority approve the use of funds in the account. The 
     amendment would also require that subaccounts be established 
     for each of the military departments and defense agencies 
     that deposit and use funds in the account.

         Subtitle B--Department of Defense Acquisition Agility

     Modular open system approach in development of major weapon 
         systems (sec. 805)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1701) that 
     would require all major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs) 
     initiated after January 1, 2019, to be designed and developed 
     with a modular open system approach (MOSA), to the maximum 
     extent practicable.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
     when programs are required to start using MOSA. The amendment 
     also would modify the definition of a major system interface 
     to include characterization of the form, function, and 
     content that flows across the interface. The amendment would 
     require the acquisition strategy for a program that uses MOSA 
     to also describe the approach to systems integration and 
     configuration management.
     Development, prototyping, and deployment of weapon system 
         components or technology (sec. 806)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1702) that 
     would require a major defense acquisition program (MDAP) 
     initiated after January 1, 2019, to include only technical 
     development that the milestone decision authority determines, 
     with a high degree of confidence, would not delay fielding 
     target for the program. Concurrent technology maturation and 
     system development would remain authorized, but only for 
     technologies for which there is high confidence that 
     concurrency would not postpone fielding. For higher risk 
     technologies, the milestone decision authority would use the 
     new authorities provided in this section, or other available 
     authorities, to mature and demonstrate technologies prior to 
     initiating or separate from a program of record. This section 
     also would provide the military services with new funding and 
     acquisition flexibility to experiment with, prototype, and 
     rapidly deploy weapon system components and other 
     technologies.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand the 
     considerations for planning and conducting prototype projects 
     to include existing commercial technologies and opportunities 
     to reduce operation and support costs of major weapon 
     systems. The amendment would clarify that the military 
     services can use an existing oversight board, if one exists, 
     to carry out the prototyping oversight requirements of this 
     provision. The amendment would require prototyping projects 
     to develop a plan for transition into a fielded system or 
     operational use. The amendment also would reduce the duration 
     of a project to 2 years and would clarify that the rapid 
     prototyping process established by section 804 of the Fiscal 
     Year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 114-
     92) should be pursued if projects exceed the duration and 
     funding limits of this provision.
     Cost, schedule, and performance of major defense acquisition 
         programs (sec. 807)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1703) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, or his designee, to 
     assign program cost and fielding targets when major defense 
     acquisition programs (MDAPs) are initiated.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
     that cost and fielding targets should be established before 
     funds are obligated for technology development, system 
     development, or production of a major defense acquisition 
     program. The amendment would modify the definition of the 
     cost target to include the program procurement unit cost and 
     sustainment cost. The amendment would remove the list of 
     elements that should be considered in establishing the 
     program goals because such elements are generally known and 
     are included in existing acquisition policy guidance. The 
     amendment would modify the delegation of authority for 
     establishing program targets only to the Deputy Secretary of 
     Defense. The amendment also would clarify that the required 
     independent technical risk assessments conducted prior to 
     program milestone approvals should identify any manufacturing 
     processes that need to be matured.
     Transparency in major defense acquisition programs (sec. 808)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1704) that 
     would require the milestone decision authority for a major 
     defense acquisition program to provide a new ``acquisition 
     scorecard'' report to the congressional defense committees 
     and, when appropriate, to congressional intelligence 
     committees at each milestone decision point of each program.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     information required in the program summary reports, to 
     include the major cost contributors identified at Milestone A 
     that could affect the life-cycle costs of the program and any 
     manufacturing risks identified at Milestone A or B that are 
     associated with the program.
     Amendments relating to technical data rights (sec. 809)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1705) that 
     would make several amendments to technical data rights 
     conferred in section 2320 of title 10, United States Code. 
     Among other things, the provision would delineate types of 
     interfaces and specify the rights provided to the U.S. 
     Government in such interfaces. It would require the U.S. 
     Government and Department of Defense contractors to negotiate 
     for data rights when items or processes are developed with a 
     mix of Federal and private funds. The provision also would 
     limit deferred ordering of technical data to 6 years after 
     delivery of the last item on a contract and to technical data 
     generated, not utilized, in the performance of the contract.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would allow the 
     Secretary of Defense to negotiate for rights other than 
     government purpose rights for technical data relating to 
     major system interfaces if it would be in the best interest 
     of the United States. The amendment would require the 
     Department of Defense to identify major system interfaces in 
     contract solicitations and contracts. For

[[Page 15145]]

     major system interfaces developed exclusively at private 
     expense, the amendment would clarify that the Secretary shall 
     negotiate with the developer appropriate compensation for the 
     technical data. The conferees understand that section 2320 
     sets forth various rights in technical data, and that the 
     price for acquiring technical data to which the U.S. 
     Government is entitled is determined through negotiations 
     between the Department and contractors. The conferees believe 
     that in the case of privately funded major system interfaces 
     for which the Department asserts government purpose rights it 
     is necessary to explicitly require negotiation for 
     compensation. Notwithstanding this amendment, the conferees 
     expect the standard practice of negotiating prices for 
     technical data to continue for all other categories of rights 
     and circumstances set forth in section 2320.
       The amendment also would specify the U.S. Government's 
     rights to technical data pertaining to privately funded 
     general interfaces necessary for the segregation and 
     reintegration of an item or process. Finally, the amendment 
     would extend the duration of the government-industry advisory 
     panel established in section 813 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) 
     and require the advisory panel to consider the technical data 
     rights necessary to support the modular open system approach 
     (MOSA) required elsewhere in this Act. The conferees are 
     aware that the advisory panel has not yet completed its 
     review of sections 2320 and 2321 of title 10, United States 
     Code. The conferees recognize there are many issues in 
     technical data rights that this conference agreement does not 
     address, and are encouraged that the panel's comprehensive 
     and thoughtful analysis thus far will yield promising 
     recommendations.
       Additionally, the conferees understand that successful 
     implementation of MOSA necessitates the allocation of 
     technical data rights in major system interfaces, a new 
     concept under MOSA. The use of MOSA relies upon the ability 
     of major system components to be added, removed, or replaced 
     as needed throughout the life cycle of the major weapon 
     system due to evolving technology, threats, sustainment, and 
     other factors. Therefore, major system interfaces that share 
     a boundary between major system components and major system 
     platforms are critical, and it is imperative that the 
     government have appropriate access to the technical data of 
     such interfaces. The conferees understand the importance of 
     technical precision in establishing clear delineation of 
     major system platforms, major system interfaces, and major 
     system components. As such, the conferees urge the Department 
     to carefully consider and take input from the advisory panel 
     and industry on the meanings and implications of these key 
     terms. The conferees expect the Department to include this 
     consideration in its review of the MOSA authorities and its 
     briefing on the implementation of MOSA required in the House 
     report accompanying H.R. 4909 (H. Rept. 114-537) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.
       The conferees also note that the Department recently issued 
     a proposed rule that would implement amendments to section 
     2320 of title 10, United States Code, enacted in section 815 
     of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2012 (Public Law 112-81). Various representatives of industry 
     have expressed concern about the effects on defense 
     acquisition of the amendments made in Public Law 112-81 and 
     the Department's implementation of such amendments. 
     Therefore, the conferees believe the amendments to technical 
     data rights included in this conference agreement are 
     necessary at this time.

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

     Modified restrictions on undefinitized contractual actions 
         (sec. 811)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 816) that would 
     amend section 2326 of title 10, United States Code, to revise 
     policies regarding undefinitized contractual actions (UCAs). 
     Over the past decade the use of UCAs by the services and 
     defense agencies has grown significantly while the speed at 
     which these UCAs are definitized has lagged. To address this 
     situation, the provision would: (1) require a written 
     determination by senior officials to extend a UCA beyond 90 
     days; (2) require UCAs to be awarded on a fixed-price level-
     of-effort basis; and (3) extend the 180 day definitization 
     requirement to contracts in support of Foreign Military Sales 
     cases.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     802).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 
     the requirement that undefinitized contractual actions be 
     awarded on a fixed-price basis, ensure that allowable profit 
     reflects the cost risk at the time that a contractor submits 
     a qualifying proposal to definitize a contract, and specify 
     that such a proposal contain the information necessary to 
     conduct a meaningful audit of the proposal.
     Amendments relating to inventory and tracking of purchases of 
         services (sec. 812)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 820) that would 
     amend section 2330a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     clarify the applicability of the contractor inventory 
     requirement to staff augmentation contracts and to reduce 
     data collection and unnecessary reporting requirements.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 803) that 
     would amend section 2330a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     revise the current requirement related to how the Department 
     of Defense accounts for and reports contracts for services.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would set the 
     inventory collection threshold at contracts for services in 
     excess of $3.0 million and would narrow the focus of the 
     inventory collection requirement to staff augmentation 
     contracts as informed by the specified Service Acquisition 
     Portfolio Groups. Rather than providing the inventory itself 
     to the Congress, the amendment would require the Secretary of 
     Defense to provide to Congress an annual summary of the 
     inventory activities performed during the past year pursuant 
     to staff augmentation contracts as defined in the amendment. 
     Additionally, the amendment removes the Department of Defense 
     Office of the Inspector General reporting requirement and 
     reduces the annual Comptroller General reporting requirement 
     to a one-time review in 2018 that would cover the changes 
     implemented by this Act.
       In performing the review and planning requirements in (d), 
     the conferees direct the Secretary of the military department 
     or the head of the Defense Agency to focus on the 17 Product 
     Service Codes identified by the Office of Federal Procurement 
     Policy and the Government Accountability Office in report 
     GAO-16-46 as high risk for including services that are 
     closely associated with inherently governmental functions.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to brief the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
     Representatives, no later than February 1, 2017, on the plan 
     to implement the inventory and reporting changes required by 
     this Act, particularly implementation of the inventory of 
     Product Service Codes and staff augmentation contracts. The 
     briefing shall include information on differences in the 
     number and value of contracts captured before and after the 
     changes made by this Act.
     Use of lowest price technically acceptable source selection 
         process (sec. 813)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 825) that would 
     require the Department of Defense to revise the Defense 
     Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to limit 
     the use of lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source 
     selection criteria in circumstances that would potentially 
     deny the Department the benefits of cost and technical 
     tradeoffs in the source selection process. The Department 
     would be required to only use LPTA criteria in specified 
     circumstances and avoid them to the maximum extent 
     practicable for the procurement of knowledge-based 
     professional services such as information technology 
     services.S0634
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     847).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
     justification of LPTA evaluation methodologies in each 
     contract file, require determination that lowest price 
     reflects full life-cycle costs, and expand restrictions on 
     the use of LPTA evaluation methodologies to include advanced 
     electronic testing and knowledge-based, training, or 
     logistics services in overseas contingency operations. The 
     amendment would also limit LPTA reporting to only contracts 
     that exceed $10.0 million.
     Procurement of personal protective equipment (sec. 814)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 829D) that 
     would prohibit the use of reverse auctions and lowest price 
     technically acceptable (LPTA) contracting methods for the 
     procurement of personal protective equipment where the level 
     of quality needed or the failure of the item could result in 
     combat casualties.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     804) that would amend section 884 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to 
     clarify source selection criteria to be used in the 
     procurement of personal protective equipment or critical 
     safety items.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees understand that, in some cases, both LPTA and 
     reverse auctions are appropriate contracting methods and 
     price discovery methods. However, the conferees do not 
     believe that such methods are appropriate for equipment that 
     provides personal protection to members of the Armed 
     Services.
     Amendments related to detection and avoidance of counterfeit 
         electronic parts (sec. 815)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 806) that 
     would modify section 818 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) by 
     replacing the term ``trusted suppliers'' with the term 
     ``suppliers that meet anticounterfeiting requirements'', as 
     well as related conforming amendments. This provision would 
     clear up confusion about the term, which refers to the 
     specific category of microelectronics supplies that have been 
     accredited by the Defense Microelectronics Activity.

[[Page 15146]]

       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Amendments to special emergency procurement authority (sec. 
         816)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 807) that 
     would amend section 1903 of title 41, United States Code, to 
     expand the permissible uses of special emergency procurement 
     authorities to include support of international disaster 
     assistance and support of a national emergency or natural 
     disaster relief efforts in the United States as defined by 
     the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
     Assistance Act.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees direct the Comptroller General, not later 
     than 4 years after the date of enactment of this Act, to 
     submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     House of Representatives a review of all procurement 
     activities conducted under the authorities provided by this 
     provision.
       The conferees direct any agency making use of this expanded 
     authority to closely consult with the Congress on its use, 
     especially its use over extended periods of time; the 
     establishment of mechanisms to ensure proper oversight over 
     its use; and the monitoring of its impact on industry, 
     especially small and disadvantaged businesses.
     Compliance with domestic source requirements for footwear 
         furnished to enlisted members of the Armed Forces upon 
         their initial entry into the Armed Forces (sec. 817)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 671) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to furnish athletic footwear 
     directly to members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine 
     Corps instead of providing a cash allowance. Such footwear 
     must comply with section 2533a of title 10, United States 
     Code.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     808).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     the Department of Defense, for two years, to purchase 
     additional footwear that is necessary to provide sufficient 
     choices to minimize the incidence of athletic injuries in 
     initial entry training. During those two years, the conferees 
     expect the Secretary, to the maximum extent practicable, to 
     furnish footwear from domestic sources while taking 
     appropriate steps to minimize the incidence of athletic 
     injuries. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     develop a plan and schedule to fully implement this 
     provision, and brief that plan and schedule to the Committees 
     on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives no later than six months following the date 
     of enactment of this Act.
       The conferees are aware that a number of scientific studies 
     have been and are being conducted to evaluate variances in 
     foot structures, related causes of athletic foot injuries, 
     and appropriate footwear to reduce the incidence of such 
     injuries. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     brief the results of those studies to the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives no 
     later than 18 months following the date of enactment of this 
     Act. The briefing shall include recommendations for reducing 
     injuries in recruits, including modifying initial entry 
     training methods, medically evaluating the foot types of 
     members of the Armed Forces in initial entry training, 
     furnishing appropriate footwear to such members in initial 
     entry training, and domestic sourcing of such footwear.
     Extension of authority for enhanced transfer of technology 
         developed at Department of Defense laboratories (sec. 
         818)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 899) that would 
     extend until 2020 the authorization granted to the Secretary 
     of Defense and military service secretaries to license 
     Department of Defense-owned intellectual property.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     809B) to extend the authorization until 2021.
       The Senate recedes.
     Modified notification requirement for exercise of waiver 
         authority to acquire vital national security capabilities 
         (sec. 819)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 805) that would 
     amend subsection (d) of section 806 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to 
     provide for a notification to Congress not later than ten 
     days after the use of the waiver authority to acquire vital 
     national security capabilities outlined earlier in section 
     806.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Defense cost accounting standards (sec. 820)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 811) that would 
     amend chapter 7 of title 10, United States Code, and 
     establish an independent board chaired by the Chief Financial 
     Officer of the Department of Defense to prescribe, amend, and 
     rescind cost accounting standards as they affect operations 
     at the Department of Defense. The provision also requires 
     that cost accounting standards developed shall to the maximum 
     extent practicable align with Generally Accepted Accounting 
     Principles (GAAP), thereby minimizing the requirement for 
     government-unique cost accounting systems. The provision 
     would also ensure that managerial cost accounting and 
     activity-based accounting structures derived from cost 
     accounting standards are applied to the financial operations 
     of the Department of Defense.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify 
     sections 1501 and 1502 of title 41, United States Code, to 
     improve the government-wide Cost Accounting Standards Board 
     (CASB) and require that Federal Cost Accounting Standards 
     (CAS) be reconciled, to the extent possible, with U.S. 
     Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The amendment also 
     would require the CASB to hire an executive director and meet 
     at least quarterly to reduce inconsistencies between CAS and 
     GAAP, as well as address problems identified by cases 
     presented to the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals and 
     Civilian Board of Contract Appeals. Additionally, the 
     amendment would allow the head of a Federal agency to waive 
     the application of the CAS for contracts valued at less than 
     $100.0 million. The amendment also would retain the Senate 
     proposal to create a Defense Cost Accounting Standards Board, 
     but would authorize the new board to advise the CASB, oversee 
     implementation of CAS within the Department of Defense, and 
     ensure that managerial cost accounting is appropriately 
     implemented for commercial functions performed by employees 
     of the Department. The conferees also encourage the Director, 
     Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) to examine the potential 
     for electronic quality management systems to improve the 
     ability of DCAA to conduct thorough and timely audits.
     Increased micro-purchase threshold applicable to Department 
         of Defense procurements (sec. 821)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 812) that would 
     amend chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     establish the micro-purchase threshold for Department of 
     Defense activities at $5,000.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Enhanced competition requirements (sec. 822)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 813) that would 
     amend section 2306a of title 10, United States Code, to 
     clarify the definition of competition and the role of the 
     prime contractor in determining whether a subcontract meets 
     the competitive or commercial test under the section.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees recognize that the government retains the 
     right to review determinations made by prime contractors.
     Revision to effective date of senior executive benchmark 
         compensation for allowable cost limitations (sec. 823)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 805) that 
     would remove the retroactive application requirement of 
     section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), which implemented a cap 
     on the allowable compensation of contractor employees. As a 
     result of this revision, section 803 would apply to 
     compensation costs incurred after January 1, 2012, under 
     contracts entered into on or after December 31, 2011.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Treatment of independent research and development costs on 
         certain contracts (sec. 824)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 814) that would 
     amend section 2372 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     clarify in what circumstances independent research and 
     development costs are considered fair, reasonable, and 
     allowable expenses on Department of Defense contracts.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would create a new 
     section 2372a of title 10, United States Code, that would 
     specify that bid and proposal expenses considered as 
     allowable indirect costs on cost-reimbursement contracts 
     should be reported independently of independent research and 
     development costs under section 2372 of title 10, United 
     States Code. The amendment would establish for the Department 
     of Defense a goal that Department-wide bid and proposal costs 
     should not exceed one percent of the amount of contractor 
     sales to the Department. The conferees do not intend for the 
     Department to achieve this goal by arbitrarily limiting the 
     amount of bid and proposal costs contractors may have 
     reimbursed, but to instead address the factors driving bid 
     and proposal costs. The amendment would also require the 
     Department to contract with an outside, independent entity to 
     study the laws, regulations, and practices driving bid and 
     proposal costs and provide recommendations to the Department 
     on how to reduce these costs. If, in any year the Department 
     fails to meet the one percent goal, the amendment would 
     require that an advisory panel pursuant to the Federal 
     Advisory Committees Act (5 U.S.C. app) be established to 
     provide recommendations on changes to

[[Page 15147]]

     statute, regulation, and practice to reduce bid and proposal 
     costs. The amendment also would require the Department to 
     report on bid and proposal costs and independent research and 
     development costs as part of the report required under 2313a 
     of title 10, United States Code.
     Exception to requirement to include cost or price to the 
         Government as a factor in the evaluation of proposals for 
         certain multiple-award task or delivery order contracts 
         (sec. 825)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 815) that would 
     amend section 2305(a)(3) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     provide an exception to the existing statutory requirement to 
     include cost or price to the Federal Government as an 
     evaluation factor that must be considered in the evaluation 
     of proposals for all contracts. The provision would only 
     apply to multiple award task or delivery order contracts to 
     buy services and the Department would then appropriately 
     focus on price when individual task orders are issued and 
     competed.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would allow task 
     or delivery orders to be awarded on a sole-source basis when 
     a standalone contract could be awarded on a sole-source 
     basis. The amendment also would preclude the award of 
     multiple award contracts without cost or pricing data in 
     cases where task orders are expected to be awarded as sole 
     source contracts to small businesses under section 8(a) of 
     the Small Business Act (Public Law 85-536) because price 
     competition at the time of task or delivery order award would 
     not be expected.
     Extension of program for comprehensive small business 
         contracting plans (sec. 826)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 818) that would 
     amend chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code, to add a 
     new section that would codify the authority to conduct small 
     business subcontracting plans. The Government Accountability 
     Office (GAO) recently reported to the committee that the Test 
     Program for Negotiation of Comprehensive Small Business 
     Subcontracting Plans has resulted in the avoidance of 
     millions of dollars in administrative costs and recommended 
     that the program be made permanent. This provision would 
     implement GAO's recommendation.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     current pilot program through the end of fiscal year 2027.
     Treatment of side-by-side testing of certain equipment, 
         munitions, and technologies manufactured and developed 
         under cooperative research and development agreements as 
         use of competitive procedures (sec. 827)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 823) that would 
     amend section 2350a(g) of title 10, Untied States Code, to 
     add a new paragraph to clarify that the general solicitation 
     and testing competitive procedures used under the program are 
     competitive procedures under chapter 137 of title 10, United 
     States Code.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make 
     discretionary the use of side-by-side testing to fulfill 
     competitive procedures for follow-on procurements and that 
     would set a time limit within which such follow-on 
     procurements could be conducted. The conferees expect that, 
     prior to procuring any items under this provision, market 
     research will be conducted to determine that comparable items 
     are not available.
     Defense Acquisition Challenge Program amendments (sec. 828)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 824) that would 
     amend section 2359b(a)(2) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     expand the scope of the defense acquisition challenge program 
     to include alternatives to existing acquisition programs and 
     to clarify that the general solicitation competitive 
     procedures used under the program are competitive procedures 
     under chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Preference for fixed-price contracts (sec. 829)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 827) that would 
     revise the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 
     to establish a preference for fixed-price contracts, 
     including fixed-price incentive fee contracts, in the 
     determination of contract type and establish an approval 
     mechanism for the use of cost-type contracts over $5.0 
     million in value.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would expand the 
     number of Department of Defense officials who can approve a 
     cost-type contract and that would increase the contractual 
     dollar threshold that require such approvals.
     Requirement to use firm fixed-price contracts for foreign 
         military sales (sec. 830)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 828) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to prescribe regulations to 
     require the use of firm fixed-price contracts for foreign 
     military sales not later than 180 days after the enactment of 
     this Act. Additionally, this provision would grant the 
     Secretary waiver authority if the Secretary determines that a 
     different type of contract is in the best interest of the 
     United States taxpayers.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
     foreign countries that are counterparties to foreign military 
     sales may select a contracting vehicle that is not firm 
     fixed-price. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     develop a process to determine the contracting preferences of 
     foreign counterparties and to brief the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and House of Representatives on the 
     elements of the process no later than 6 months after 
     enactment of this Act. The conferees further expect that the 
     Secretary shall waive the requirement for firm fixed-price 
     contracts only in exceptional cases. The conferees expect 
     that the Department of Defense will not interfere in the 
     process of the host nation selecting a contract type. If a 
     contract type other than firm fixed-price is selected at the 
     request of a country, the Secretary of Defense shall be 
     prepared to notify Congress that the Department of Defense 
     did not encourage the country in the decision to pursue that 
     contract type. The amendment also would establish a pilot 
     program to accelerate contracting of foreign military sales 
     by allowing the Department of Defense to base price 
     reasonableness determinations on actual cost and pricing data 
     for purchases of the same product for the Department.
     Preference for performance-based contractual payments (sec. 
         831)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 829) that would 
     amend section 2307(b) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     establish a preference for performance-based payments to 
     contractors and would re-establish the policy objective laid 
     out in Federal Acquisition Regulation 32.1001, which 
     established performance-based payments as the preferred 
     Government financing mechanism.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
     nothing in the provision authorizes the Defense Contract 
     Audit Agency to perform audits of a contractor's compliance 
     with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
     Contractor incentives to achieve savings and improve mission 
         performance (sec. 832)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 829A) that 
     would amend section 2332 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the Defense Acquisition University to develop and 
     implement a training program for Department of Defense 
     acquisition personnel on share-in-savings contracts not later 
     than 180 days after the enactment of this Act.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Defense Acquisition University to provide training on the use 
     of contracting authorities that incentivize contractors to 
     deliver additional savings to the government.
     Sunset and repeal of certain contracting provisions (sec. 
         833)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 829F) that 
     would: (1) amend title 10, United States Code, to sunset 
     sections 2212, 2220, 2228, 2304e, 2421 by September 30, 
     2018;(2) amend title 10, United States Code, to sunset 
     section 1706 by September 30, 2019; and (3) repeal sections 
     2245a, 2225, 2302c, 2378, 2387 of title 10, United States 
     Code.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would retain the 
     reporting requirement in section 2212 of title 10, United 
     States Code, which provides budget information on service 
     contracting, as well as section 1706 of title 10, United 
     States Code, which provides the Department of Defense with a 
     list of acquisition positions considered inherently 
     governmental.
     Flexibility in contracting award program (sec. 834)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 829G) that 
     would establish an award to recognize defense acquisition 
     programs and acquisition professionals that make the best use 
     of flexibilities and those authorities granted in the Federal 
     Acquisition Regulation and Department of Defense Instruction 
     5000.02 (Operation of the Defense Acquisition System) meant 
     to increase the efficiency of programs.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would reduce the 
     administrative burdens associated with the awards program.
     Protection of task order competition (sec. 835)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 819) that would 
     amend section 2304c(e) of title 10, United States Code, that 
     would prohibit task and delivery order protests if the 
     Secretary of Defense has appointed an ombudsman in accordance 
     with section 2304c(f) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     review complaints related to task and delivery order 
     contracts.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1862) that would amend section 4106(f) of title 41, United 
     States Code, to

[[Page 15148]]

     maintain a consistent approach to task-order protests between 
     civilian and defense agencies.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would permanently 
     authorize protests of task and delivery orders with values 
     exceeding $10.0 million at civilian agencies. For protests of 
     task and delivery orders of the Department of Defense, the 
     amendment modifies section 2304c(e)(1)(B) of title 10, United 
     States Code, to increase the minimum value of a task or 
     delivery order that may be protested from $10.0 million to 
     $25.0 million.
     Contract closeout authority (sec. 836)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 829J) that 
     would grant the Secretary of Defense the authority to close 
     out contracts entered into prior to fiscal year 2000 without 
     completing further reconciliation audits other than those 
     described in this section.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make a 
     series of technical corrections to conform the language of 
     this provision to similar provisions in this bill.
     Closeout of old Department of the Navy contracts (sec. 837)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 829K) that 
     would grant the Secretary of the Navy authority to close out 
     contracts entered into between fiscal years 1974 and 1998 to 
     design, construct, repair, or support the construction or 
     repair of Navy submarines without completing further 
     reconciliation audits other than those described in this 
     section.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     837).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make a 
     series of technical corrections to conform the language of 
     this provision to similar provisions in this bill.

 Subtitle D--Provisions Relating to Major Defense Acquisition Programs

     Change in date of submission to Congress of Selected 
         Acquisition Reports (sec. 841)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 811) that 
     would amend section 2342(f) of title 10, United States Code, 
     by changing, from 45 to 10, the number of days after the 
     President's budget request transmittal that comprehensive 
     annual Selected Acquisition Reports are due to Congress.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     date when Selected Acquisition Reports are due to Congress.
     Amendments relating to independent cost estimation and cost 
         analysis (sec. 842)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 803) that would 
     amend section 2334 of title 10, United States Code, and would 
     repeal section 2434 of title 10, United States Code, in order 
     to remove the ambiguity concerning the roles and 
     responsibilities for the conduct of independent cost 
     estimates (ICEs) by designating the Director of Cost 
     Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) to ensure standards 
     are met. The Senate bill also contained a provision (sec. 
     836) that would amend subsection (d) of section 2334 of title 
     10, United States Code, to remove the requirement for 
     disclosure of confidence levels for baseline estimates of 
     major defense acquisition programs.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     812) that would amend sections 2334 and 2434 of title 10, 
     United States Code, to make clear that CAPE conducts or 
     approves ICEs for all major defense acquisition programs and 
     major automated information systems.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require an 
     ICE for the technology maturation and risk reduction phase of 
     a major defense acquisition program or major subprogram that 
     identifies the key contributors to the life-cycle costs of 
     the program or subprogram. The conferees expect that the 
     procedures to be developed for collecting cost data from 
     acquisition program contractors are cost effective and make 
     use of existing sources of data, to the best extent 
     practicable.
     Revisions to Milestone B determinations (sec. 843)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 835) that would 
     amend section 2366b(a)(3) of title 10, United States Code to 
     eliminate the need for waivers that are regularly submitted 
     to the committee for programs that are executed at the 
     beginning of the fiscal year but before the Future Years 
     Defense Program (FYDP) has been submitted, and should receive 
     Milestone B certification as long as there is funding in the 
     current FYDP. This provision would reduce the number of 
     required waivers and therefore reduce unnecessary staff 
     burden.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     813).
       The Senate recedes.
     Review and report on sustainment planning in the acquisition 
         process (sec. 844)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 814) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a 
     contract with an independent entity with appropriate 
     expertise to conduct an assessment of the extent to which 
     sustainment matters are considered in decisions related to 
     requirements, acquisition, cost estimating, and programming 
     and budgeting for major defense acquisition programs.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend and 
     include additional elements in the review, such as an 
     evaluation of how well life-cycle sustainment strategies 
     required under section 2337 of title 10, United States Code, 
     are incorporated into the acquisition strategy required by 
     section 2431a of title 10, United States Code, and other 
     acquisition planning.
     Revision to distribution of annual report on operational test 
         and evaluation (sec. 845)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 815) that 
     would amend section 139 of title 10, United States Code, by 
     including the Secretaries of the military departments in the 
     list of people who receive the annual report of the Director 
     of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOTE). The section would 
     also extend the annual report through January 31, 2021.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees recognize the importance in having an 
     independent report each year on operational test and 
     evaluation activities in the Department of Defense, but 
     encourage the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation to 
     seek and consider input from other Department test 
     organizations in developing such reports. Further, the 
     conferees believe that more rigorous developmental testing, 
     realistic requirements, and disciplined systems engineering 
     will likely improve operational test outcomes. The conferees 
     expect program offices to take the necessary steps to improve 
     operational test outcomes and adopt lessons learned and best 
     practices that are identified in the DOTE annual report. The 
     conferees note that these reports are public documents and 
     available electronically to all interested parties.
     Repeal of major automated information systems provisions 
         (sec. 846)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that would 
     repeal chapter 144A of title 10, United States Code.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset the 
     requirements chapter 144A of title 10, United States Code, on 
     September 30, 2017.
     Revisions to definition of major defense acquisition program 
         (sec. 847)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 832) that would 
     amend section 2430 of title 10, United States Code, and 
     revise the definition of a major defense acquisition program 
     to exclude fixed-price prototypes not planned as part of an 
     existing major defense acquisition program and those programs 
     or projects developed under the rapid fielding or rapid 
     prototyping acquisition pathway authorized under section 804 
     of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2016 (Public Law 114-92).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would specify that 
     major defense acquisition program costs exclude acquisition 
     programs or projects that are carried out using the rapid 
     fielding or rapid prototyping acquisition pathway under 
     section 804 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92).
     Acquisition strategy (sec. 848)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 833) that would 
     amend section 2431a of title 10, United States Code, to make 
     technical changes and require that the acquisition strategy 
     for each major defense acquisition program must also consider 
     a comprehensive sustainment strategy that includes all 
     aspects of the total life-cycle management of the weapon 
     system, including product support, logistics, product support 
     engineering, supply chain integration, maintenance, 
     acquisition logistics, and all aspects of software 
     sustainment.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the 
     requirement to include a sustainment strategy within the 
     acquisition strategy required under section 2431a of title 
     10, United States Code. The conferees note that section 2431a 
     of title 10, United States Code, requires logistics, 
     maintenance, and sustainment issues to be considered in 
     acquisition strategies, and that a life-cycle sustainment 
     strategy is mandated under section 2337 of title 10, United 
     States Code. Another provision in this Act requires an 
     evaluation of the existing life-cycle sustainment strategy 
     and an assessment of how well its elements are incorporated 
     into the acquisition strategy in section 2431a of title 10, 
     United States Code.
     Improved life-cycle cost control (sec. 849)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 834) that would 
     make several amendments to improve life-cycle cost controls. 
     First, this provision would amend section 804(c)(3) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92), to require rapid fielding guidance from 
     the Under

[[Page 15149]]

     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 
     Logistics to include direction on a process for identifying 
     and exploiting opportunities to use the rapid fielding 
     pathway to reduce total ownership costs. Secondly, this 
     provision would amend section 805(2) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (NDAA) to include 
     life-cycle cost management as a procedure that the Secretary 
     of Defense should establish for alternative acquisition 
     pathways to meet national security needs. Thirdly, this 
     provision would amend section 833(e) of the NDAA for Fiscal 
     Year 2016 to require the Secretary to also issue guidance on 
     policies to maximize the use of fixed-price contracts and the 
     ability to implement tradeoffs in total cost of ownership, 
     schedule, and performance. Fourthly, this provision would add 
     a new section to chapter 144 of title 10, United States Code, 
     which would require sustainment reviews of acquisition 
     programs 5 years after initial operational capability--unless 
     the program has failed to maintain its availability or 
     reliability threshold or has breached its affordability cap 
     before that time. Additionally, this provision would require 
     the Secretary of Defense to establish a commercial 
     operational and support savings initiative to insert existing 
     commercial items or technology into military legacy programs 
     through rapid development and fielding of prototypes in order 
     to improve readiness and reduce operations and support costs.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     military departments to conduct a sustainment review five 
     years after declaration of initial operational capability of 
     a major defense acquisition program and throughout the 
     system's life cycle, using availability and reliability 
     thresholds and cost estimates as the triggers that prompt 
     such a review. The amendment also would clarify that 
     sustainment reviews would be conducted in coordination with 
     the requirements of section 2337 of title 10, United States 
     Code, and section 832 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81). The amendment 
     also would authorize a commercial operational and support 
     savings initiative.
     Authority to designate increments or blocks of items 
         delivered under major defense acquisition programs as 
         major subprograms for purposes of acquisition reporting 
         (sec. 850)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 837) that would 
     amend section 2430a(1)(B) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     expand the authority to designate increments or blocks of 
     items delivered under major defense acquisition programs as 
     major subprograms.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Reporting of small business participation on Department of 
         Defense programs (sec. 851)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 838) that would 
     amend chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code, to include 
     a new section to include first and second tier subcontracts 
     awarded by the Department of Defense under major defense 
     acquisition programs in the Department's overall count of 
     small business goals.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Department of Defense to annually report on its attainment of 
     the small business prime contracting goals and subcontracting 
     goals as required by section 15(h) of the Small Business Act 
     (15 United States Code 644(h)) and to report separately on 
     its small business use after excluding certain types of 
     contracts that may not be suitable for award to small 
     businesses.
     Waiver of congressional notification for acquisition of 
         tactical missiles and munitions greater than quantity 
         specified in law (sec. 852)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 840) that would 
     amend section 2308(c) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     waive the requirement for the head of an agency to notify 
     congressional defense committees of the decision to acquire a 
     higher quantity of an end item for tactical missiles and 
     munitions annual procurements.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     836) that would waive the requirement for the Secretary of 
     Defense to notify the congressional defense committees of a 
     decision, not later than 30 days after the date of the 
     decision, to acquire a higher quantity of an end item (for 
     tactical missiles and munitions annual procurements only) 
     than is specified in law.
       The Senate recedes.
     Multiple program multiyear contract pilot demonstration 
         program (sec. 853)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 841) that would 
     grant the Secretary of Defense the authority to conduct a 
     multiyear contract for multiple defense programs that are 
     produced at common facilities at a high rate, and which 
     maximize commonality, efficiencies, and quality, in order to 
     provide maximum benefit and significant savings to the 
     Department of Defense.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Key performance parameter reduction pilot program (sec. 854)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 842) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to enact a pilot program 
     aimed at decreasing the number of Key Performance Parameters 
     (KPPs) on acquisition programs. The Secretary would be 
     required to select one acquisition program from each of the 
     services to determine if limiting the number of KPPs to 
     three, at the most, leads to operational or programmatic 
     improvements of outcomes.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the 
     types of key performance parameters that may be reduced in 
     the pilot program.
     Mission integration management (sec. 855)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 843) that would 
     further enhance the Department of Defense's (DOD) efforts to 
     adopt an open systems approach to defense acquisition. The 
     provision would require the Secretary of Defense to implement 
     modular open systems architecture in acquisition programs in 
     specified mission areas when implementing section 801 of the 
     Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). 
     The provision would require each multi-service and multi-
     program mission outlined in the provision to have a mission 
     integration manager to act as the principal substantive 
     advisor to the Deputy Secretary of Defense and the Vice 
     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for all aspects of 
     capability integration for the mission area.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would incorporate 
     into another section of this Act the requirement of the 
     Senate provision (sec. 843) for the Department to ensure that 
     external facing interfaces are identified and clearly and 
     publicly characterized in terms of form, function, and the 
     content that flows across to enable the creation of 
     interoperable ``systems of systems.'' The conferees urge the 
     Department to ensure that the standards bodies and processes, 
     which are established to support modular open systems 
     approaches, promote interfaces that are dynamically managed, 
     flexible, and extensible to enable technological innovation 
     and performance growth.
       The amendment also would modify the Senate provision to 
     provide flexibility to the Department of Defense in 
     implementing mission integration activities, and to provide 
     an alternative funding source for mission integration 
     activities. The conferees urge the Department of Defense to 
     propose its own funding mechanism in future budget requests.

        Subtitle E--Provisions Relating to Acquisition Workforce

     Project management (sec. 861)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 851) that would 
     outline the responsibilities of the Department of Defense 
     under chapter 87 of title 10, United States Code, for 
     improving program and project management. This provision 
     would require that not later than 1 year after the enactment 
     of this Act that the Secretary of Defense develop Department-
     wide standards, policies, and guidelines for program and 
     project management.
       The Senate bill also contained a provision (sec. 1097) that 
     would amend section 503 of title 31, United States Code, and 
     Chapter 11 of title 31, United States Code, to improve 
     Federal program and project management in the Department of 
     Defense.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1098L).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
     that all members of the Program Management Policy Council 
     must be officers or employees of the Federal government or 
     the armed services. This obviates the need to address the 
     application of the Federal Advisory Committee (5 U.S.C. 
     App.).
     Authority to waive tenure requirement for program managers 
         for program definition and program execution periods 
         (sec. 862)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 852) that would 
     amend sections 826(e) and 827(e) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to 
     harmonize the waiver authorities granted in these sections to 
     the Service Acquisition Executive or the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Purposes for which the Department of Defense Acquisition 
         Workforce Development Fund may be used; advisory panel 
         amendments (sec. 863)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 854) that would 
     amend section 1705 of title 10, United States Code, to expand 
     the use of the Department of Defense Acquisition Workforce 
     Development Fund. The provision would clarify that the fund 
     could be used for the development of acquisition tools and 
     methodologies and the undertaking of research and development 
     of activities that could lead to acquisition policies and 
     practices that will improve the efficiency and effectiveness 
     of defense acquisition efforts.

[[Page 15150]]

       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
     the advisory panel on streamlining and codifying acquisition 
     regulations that was established in section 809 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92) is an independent advisory panel to be 
     supported by the Defense Acquisition University and the 
     National Defense University. The amendment would further 
     clarify that, as an independent advisory panel, the panel has 
     the hiring authorities provided in section 3161 of title 5, 
     United States Code. The amendment also would limit the amount 
     of funds that may be used in fiscal year 2017 for acquisition 
     tools and methodologies and the undertaking of research and 
     development to $35.0 million.
     Department of Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund 
         determination adjustment (sec. 864)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 839) that 
     would amend section 1705 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     allow the Secretary of Defense to reduce the threshold amount 
     that must be credited to the Defense Acquisition Workforce 
     Development Fund during fiscal year 2017 from $400.0 million 
     to $0. This section addresses an overfunding of the fund that 
     has resulted from carryovers from prior years.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Department of Defense to transfer $225.0 million from the 
     Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund (DAWDF) in 
     fiscal year 2017 to the Department's Rapid Prototyping Fund. 
     The conferees also direct the Secretary of Defense to brief 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives, not later than March 15, 2017, on the 
     extent to which DAWDF funding is sufficient to meet 
     acquisition workforce development requirements and on steps 
     the Department has taken to improve the management and 
     implementation of the DAWDF to avoid carryover funding. The 
     conferees encourage the Department to make use of the 
     expanded authorities for the use of the DAWDF to address 
     workforce training and development of acquisition tools and 
     practices to improve acquisition practice and outcomes.
       It is the opinion of the conferees per section 1705 of 
     title 10, United States Code, that the amounts transferred 
     into the DAWDF from unobligated balances, as described in 
     subsection 3, does not have a maximum limit each year. The 
     $500,000,000 limitation only applies to subsection 2 relating 
     to credits for contract services. The conferees direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to establish waivers to procedures 
     regarding obligation and expenditure rates, applicability of 
     standard financial management regulations, and other 
     financial management procedures, as necessary, to ensure the 
     most efficient and effective execution of projects supported 
     by the Rapid Prototyping Fund. Specifically, the conferees 
     direct the Secretary to establish procedures that provide 
     relief from strict obligation and expenditure benchmarks and 
     flexibility in using amounts in the Fund consistent with a 
     broad range of efforts under research, development, test and 
     evaluation budget activities. The conferees believe that 
     strict adherence to standard Department financial management 
     procedures may negatively impact program execution and not 
     enable the program to achieve its goals. The conferees direct 
     the Secretary to notify the congressional defense committees 
     within 30 days after any such procedures are waived.
     Limitations on funds used for staff augmentation contracts at 
         management headquarters of the Department of Defense and 
         the military departments (sec. 865)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 905) that would 
     limit the amount of funds available for staff augmentation 
     contracts at the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the 
     headquarters of the military departments for fiscal years 
     2017 and 2018 to not more than the amount expended for those 
     contracts in fiscal year 2016. The provision would further 
     require a 25 percent reduction to the fiscal year 2016 
     funding for those contracts after fiscal year 2018.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 809A) that 
     would extend the limitation on the aggregate annual amount 
     available to the Department of Defense for contract services 
     through fiscal year 2017.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     amount of funds available for staff augmentation contracts, 
     as defined in the amendment, at the Office of the Secretary 
     of Defense and the headquarters of the military departments 
     for fiscal years 2017 and 2018 to not more than the amount 
     expended for those contracts in fiscal year 2016 and would 
     further require a 25 percent reduction to the fiscal year 
     2016 funding for those contracts in fiscal years 2018 through 
     fiscal year 2022.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to brief the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives, no later than February 1, 2017, on the plan 
     to implement the requirements of this provision.
     Senior Military Acquisition Advisors in the Defense 
         Acquisition Corps (sec. 866)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 592) that would 
     add a new section 1725 to title 10, United States Code, to 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to establish in the 
     Defense Acquisition Corps positions to be known as ``Senior 
     Military Acquisition Advisors''. Senior Military Acquisition 
     Advisors would be appointed by the President, by and with the 
     advice and consent of the Senate. Eligible officers include 
     officers in the grade of colonel or captain in the Navy, with 
     extensive defense acquisition experience, and who are 
     eligible for retirement. Senior Military Acquisition Advisors 
     would be authorized to remain in service in support of their 
     Service Acquisition Executive and be assigned as an adjunct 
     professor at the Defense Acquisition University.
       Senior Military Acquisition Advisors would be competitively 
     selected and would provide senior level acquisition expertise 
     to the Service Acquisition Executive of their military 
     department for the remainder of their career. An officer who 
     is continued on active duty under this program is not 
     eligible for consideration for selection for promotion. A 
     Senior Military Acquisition Advisor will serve no longer than 
     a 5-year term. When a Senior Military Acquisition Advisor 
     retires with a minimum of 3 years of service, the officer 
     may, at the discretion of the President, be retired as a 
     brigadier general or rear admiral (lower half), but without 
     increase in retired pay or other compensation by reason of 
     retirement of an officer in the grade of brigadier general or 
     rear admiral (lower half).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Authority of the Secretary of Defense under the acquisition 
         demonstration project (sec. 867)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1104) that 
     would repeal section 1762 of title 10, United States Code, 
     and create a new section 1763 of title 10, United States 
     Code, to provide a permanent authority that would allow the 
     Secretary of Defense to establish and adjust a special system 
     of personnel programs for employees in the Department of 
     Defense civilian acquisition workforce and supporting 
     personnel assigned to work directly with that workforce.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that moves the 
     administration of the Department of Defense acquisition 
     workforce demonstration project from the Office of Personnel 
     Management to the Department of Defense.

           Subtitle F--Provisions Related to Commercial Items

     Market research for determination of price reasonableness in 
         acquisition of commercial items (sec. 871)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 822) that 
     would amend section 2377 of title 10, United States Code, 
     relating to the preference for acquisition of commercial 
     items by adding a new subsection that would require 
     procurement officials of the Department of Defense to conduct 
     or obtain market research when determining price 
     reasonableness for commercial items.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Value analysis for the determination of price reasonableness 
         (sec. 872)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 823) that 
     would amend section 2379(d) of title 10, United States Code, 
     by adding a new paragraph that would allow contractors to 
     submit information or analysis pertaining to the value of a 
     commercial item when responding to solicitations. This 
     section would also allow contracting officers to consider 
     value analysis, in addition to historic pricing data, when 
     determining price reasonableness for commercial items.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Clarification of requirements relating to commercial item 
         determinations (sec. 873)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 824) that 
     would amend section 2380 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     expand Department of Defense centralized records relating to 
     commercial item determinations to include market research and 
     price reasonableness analysis. This section would also 
     eliminate the requirement that such records be publicly 
     accessible.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Inapplicability of certain laws and regulations to the 
         acquisition of commercial items and commercially 
         available off-the-shelf items (sec. 874)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 861) that would 
     amend section 2375 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the establishment of a list in the Defense Federal 
     Acquisition Regulation Supplement of inapplicable defense-
     unique statutes applicable to contracts for commercial items 
     and commercially available off-the-shelf items.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.

[[Page 15151]]

       The House recedes with an amendment that would exclude 
     sections 2533a and 2533b of title 10, United States Code, 
     from the applicability of this section.
     Use of commercial or non-Government standards in lieu of 
         military specifications and standards (sec. 875)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 863) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that the 
     Department of Defense uses performance and commercial 
     specifications and standards in lieu of military 
     specifications and standards, including for procuring new 
     systems, major modifications, upgrades to current systems, 
     non-developmental and commercial items, and programs in all 
     acquisition categories, unless no practical alternative 
     exists to meet user needs.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
     commercial or non-governmental specifications and standards 
     should be used in lieu of military specifications and 
     standards. The amendment also would require the Department of 
     Defense to maintain an inventory of commercial and non-
     governmental standards licenses.
     Preference for commercial services (sec. 876)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 864) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to issue guidance pursuant 
     to section 855 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92). This provision would 
     ensure that no head of an agency would enter into a contract 
     in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold for 
     specified services that are not commercial services unless 
     the head of the agency determines in writing that no 
     commercial services are suitable to meet the agency's needs 
     as provided in section 2377(c)(2) of title 10, United States 
     Code.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
     written determination that market research has been conducted 
     prior to awarding a contract for facilities-related services, 
     knowledge-based services (except engineering services), 
     construction services, medical services, or transportation 
     services that are not commercial services. For contracts over 
     $10 million, the service acquisition executive, the head of a 
     defense agency, the combatant commander, or the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 
     Logistics shall provide the written determination. For 
     contracts valued between the simplified acquisition threshold 
     and $10 million, the contracting officer shall provide the 
     written determination.
       The conferees direct the contracting officer to retain a 
     copy of each written determination required by this provision 
     in the relevant contract file.
     Treatment of commingled items purchased by contractors as 
         commercial items (sec. 877)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 865) that would

     proposal as a commercial item.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that 
     items procured by any contractor for use in the performance 
     of multiple contracts with the Department of Defense and 
     other parties and are not identifiable to any particular 
     contract should be treated as commercial items.

     business units of nontraditional contractors that offer 
     services as a commercial item, if the business unit uses the 
     same personnel and similar pricing as offered to commercial 
     customers.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Defense pilot program for authority to acquire innovative 
         commercial items, technologies, and services using 
         general solicitation competitive procedures (sec. 879)

         items using general solicitation competitive procedures 
         (sec. 880)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 825) that 
     would allow the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot 
     program under which innovative commercial items may be 
     acquired through a competitive selection of proposals, 
     resulting from a general solicitation and the peer review of 
     such proposals.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     authority to apply to the Department of Homeland Security and 
     the General Services Administration, add a total annual 
     limitation to the authority, reduce the reporting required to 
     the congressional committees, modifies the definition of 
     ``innovative'', and extends the termination date of the 
     authority to September 30, 2022.

                  Subtitle G--Industrial Base Matters

     Greater integration of the national technology industrial 
         base (sec. 881)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 871) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan to reduce 
     the barriers to the seamless integration between the persons 
     and organizations that comprise the National Technology 
     Industrial Base and expand the definition in section 2500(1) 
     of title 10, United States Code to include the United Kingdom 
     and Australia.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make 
     technical changes.
     Integration of civil and military roles in attaining national 
         technology and industrial base objectives (sec. 882)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 872) that would 
     amend section 2501(b) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     ensure that the Secretary of Defense when meeting the 
     national security strategy for the national technology and 
     industrial base shall engage in acquisition reform efforts 
     that: (1) rely, to the maximum extent practicable, upon the 
     commercial national technology and industrial base that is 
     required to meet the national security needs of the United 
     States; (2) reduce the reliance of the Department of Defense 
     on technology and industrial base sectors that are 
     economically dependent on Department of Defense business; and 
     (3) reduce Federal Government barriers to the use of 
     commercial products, processes, and standards.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Pilot program for distribution support and services for 
         weapon systems contractors (sec. 883)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 873) that would 
     grant permissive authority to the Secretary of Defense to 
     make available storage and distribution services support to a 
     contractor in support of the performance by the contractor of 
     a contract for the production, modification, maintenance, or 
     repair of a weapon system that is entered into by an official 
     of the Department of Defense.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
     remove the permanent authority and grant permissive authority 
     to the Secretary of Defense to establish a six-year pilot 
     program with a report to be delivered in the fourth year of 
     the pilot program outlining the cost effectiveness for both 
     government and industry as well as any performance 
     enhancements, and recommendations on whether to make the 
     authority permanent, and a review to be conducted by the 
     Comptroller General of the United States during the fifth 
     year to inform the potential extension or permanent 
     authorization of the program.
     Nontraditional and small contractor innovation prototyping 
         program (sec. 884)

     establish a pilot program for nontraditional contractors and 
     small businesses to prototype disruptive solutions that 
     demonstrate new capabilities that could provide alternatives 
     to existing acquisition programs and assets.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would add the 
     Missile Defense Agency and protection against hypersonic 
     weapons to the pilot program.

                       Subtitle H--Other Matters

     Report on bid protests (sec. 885)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 821) that would 
     amend chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code, to add a 
     new section to outline the role of the Government 
     Accountability Office (GAO) in bid protests on certain 
     contracts with the Department of Defense. The provision would 
     require a large contractor filing a bid protest on a defense 
     contract with GAO to cover the cost of processing the protest 
     if all of the elements in the protest are denied in an 
     opinion issued by GAO. The provision would also impose a 
     withhold on payments above incurred costs on any bridge or 
     temporary contract to an incumbent contractor who submits a 
     protest and that protest results in the issuance of a bridge 
     or temporary contract. The distribution of this withhold 
     would be dependent on the outcome of the protest.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     831) that would require the

[[Page 15152]]

     Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract with an 
     independent entity with appropriate expertise to conduct a 
     review of the bid protest process related to major defense 
     acquisition programs.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that expands the scope 
     of the report to look at ways that the possibility of bid 
     protests may influence behavior by contracting officers and 
     by contractors. The report shall be due 1 year after the date 
     of enactment of this Act.
     Review and report on indefinite delivery contracts (sec. 886)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 832) that 
     would require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
     review the use of indefinite delivery type contracts by the 
     Department of Defense during fiscal years 2015, 2016, and 
     2017.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     review to include an assessment of Department of Defense

         brand-name or equivalent descriptions in solicitations 
         (sec. 888)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 829E) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that 
     Department of Defense contract language does not specify a 
     brand name in solicitations unless justification for such a 
     specification is provided and approved in accordance with 
     section 2304(f) of title 10, United States Code.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     834) that would require a review of specifications in 
     information technology acquisitions to increase competition 
     and a review of brand names and specifications for 
     acquisitions of goods and services.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would add a review 
     of the policy, guidance, regulations, and training related to 
     specifications included in information technology 
     acquisitions to ensure current policies eliminate the 
     unjustified use of potentially anti-competitive 
     specifications.

     new section that would require the Secretary of Defense to 
     develop and initiate a program to improve contractor business 
     systems. The provision would clarify that this program would 
     only apply to those contractors that do more than 30 percent 
     of their business with the federal government and more than 1 
     percent of their business under cost-type contracts.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Department of Defense to identify and make public clear 
     business system requirements, allow contractors to submit 
     certification from their third-party independent auditors 
     that their business systems conform to the Department's 
     business system requirements, and allow a milestone decision 
     authority to require further auditing of business systems to 
     manage contractual risk. The amendment would also specify 
     that business system requirements only apply to contractors 
     that have covered contracts with the United States Government 
     accounting for greater than 1 percent of their total gross 
     revenue and that are not subject to full cost accounting 
     standards pursuant to either section 1502 of title 41, United

     Small Business Innovation Research Program or Small Business 
     Technology Transfer Program for the pilot program under this 
     section are competitive procedures for the purposes of 
     chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code. The provision 
     would also direct the Secretary of Defense to establish 
     procedures under which a small business or a nontraditional 
     contractor may engage an independent certified public 
     accountant for the review and certification of its accounting 
     system for the purposes of any audits required by this 
     section.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.

       The House recedes.
     Establishment of Panel on Department of Defense and 
         AbilityOne Contracting Oversight, Accountability, and 
         Integrity; Defense Acquisition University training (sec. 
         898)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 829H) that 
     would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from arranging 
     contracts through AbilityOne, or its central non-profit 
     agency, SourceAmerica, and instead require the Secretary to 
     contract directly with qualified nonprofit agencies for the 
     severely disabled until the Department of Defense (DOD) 
     Inspector General conducted a review and certified the 
     effectiveness of the internal controls and financial 
     management of AbilityOne and SourceAmerica.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would establish a 
     panel on DOD and AbilityOne contracting oversight, 
     accountability, and integrity to review and address the 
     effectiveness and internal controls of the program related to 
     DOD contracts.
     Coast Guard major acquisition programs (sec. 899)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 835) that 
     would amend section 56(c) of title 14, United States Code, to 
     direct the Chief Acquisitions Officer of the Coast Guard to 
     inform the Commandant of developments in major acquisition 
     programs that have new or revisited trade-offs between costs, 
     scheduling, feasibility, and performance. This section also 
     would amend chapter 15 of title 14, United States Code, to 
     clarify the role of the Acquisition Directorate in ensuring 
     that the needs of customers in major acquisition programs are 
     met in the most cost-effective manner practicable. The Vice 
     Commandant of the Coast Guard would be responsible for 
     representing the operating field units and would serve an 
     advisory role to the Commandant for major acquisition 
     programs. The customer of a major acquisition program would 
     be specified as the operating field unit that would field the 
     acquired system and ``major acquisition program'' would be 
     defined as a program with a life-cycle cost estimate of 
     $300.0 million or more.
       This section also would prohibit the Commandant of the 
     Coast Guard from awarding a contract for the design of an 
     unmanned aerial system (UAS) for use by the Coast Guard, and 
     would require the Commandant to use and operate only UASs 
     that have already been acquired by either the Department of 
     Defense or the Department of Homeland Security.
       This section also would allow the Coast Guard to extend 
     major acquisition program contracts if the Comptroller 
     General of the United States finds that extending a current 
     contract would be more cost effective than awarding a new 
     contract. The Comptroller General would determine the costs 
     for acquiring additional vessels under an existing contract, 
     as well as the incurred costs due to schedule delays and 
     asset design changes that would result from awarding a new 
     contract.
       This section also would require the Commandant to review 
     all authorities provided under chapter 15 of title 14, United 
     States Code, and other relevant statutes and deliver a report 
     to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of 
     the Senate and the Committee on Transportation and 
     Infrastructure of the House of Representatives on how the 
     Commandant can play a more appropriate role in the 
     acquisition process with regard to policies, requirements, 
     and implementing a more customer-oriented acquisition system.
       This section also would require the Secretary for the 
     department in which the Coast Guard is operating to submit a 
     report to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and 
     Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on 
     Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
     Representatives on an analysis of multiyear procurement 
     authorities for the procurement of at least five Fast 
     Response Cutters (beginning with hull 43) and Offshore Patrol 
     Cutters (beginning with hull 5). The report would include an 
     assessment of costs and benefits, impact on delivery times, 
     and whether acquisitions would meet the four-part test under 
     section 2306b of title 10, United States Code.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would allow the 
     Coast Guard to acquire unmanned aerial systems that have been 
     previously funded by the Departments of Defense or Homeland 
     Security. The amendment would also require the Cost Analysis 
     Division of the Department of Homeland Security to determine 
     if contracts for procurement of additional units under an 
     existing Coast Guard major acquisition program contract would 
     be cost effective.
     Enhanced authority to acquire products and services produced 
         in Africa in support of covered activities (sec. 899A)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 885) that would 
     grant the Secretary of Defense authority to make a 
     determination to limit competition or provide a preference 
     for products and services produced in areas where the United 
     States has long-term agreements with host nations in the 
     African region.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would provide for 
     an exemption from preferred local procurement for items 
     included on the procurement list described in section 8503(a) 
     of title 41, United States Code, if such a good can be 
     produced and delivered by a qualified non-profit agency for 
     the blind or a non-profit agency for other severely disabled 
     in a timely fashion to support mission requirements.

     Revision to authorities relating to Department of Defense 
         Test Resource Management Center
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 801) that 
     would limit application of existing law to the Major Range 
     and Test Facility Base and those test and evaluation

     of the Department of Defense. The provision would align the 
     statute to the original enactment of the law and would 
     prevent reporting requirements from being broadened to small 
     laboratory and educational test and evaluation facilities. 
     The provision would also define the term ``significant 
     change'' in test and evaluation facilities.

     foreign governments.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     in fiscal year 2018 through fiscal year 2021.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Nonapplicability of certain executive order to Department of 
         Defense and National Nuclear Security Administration
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 829I) that 
     would limit the application of the acquisition regulations 
     mandated by Executive Order 13673 to contractors or 
     subcontractors of the Department of Defense that have been 
     suspended or debarred as a result of the federal labor law 
     violations referenced in the Executive Order in effect on May 
     28, 2015.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1095) that would exempt the Department of Defense and the

     that had more than five finalists; feedback from industry; 
     and any challenges to the implementation of this amended 
     statute.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, not later 
     than March 1, 2017, to provide the congressional defense 
     committees with a briefing on the use and implementation of 
     the two-phase design-build selection procedures. The briefing 
     should include how the Department of Defense continues to

     carried out outreach programs to assist small business 
     concerns owned and controlled by women or socially and 
     economically disadvantaged individuals located near a 
     military base.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Enhanced use of data analytics to improve acquisition program 
         outcomes
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 853) that that 
     would mandate the establishment of activities to promote the 
     use of data analytics and other evaluation-related methods to 
     support acquisition decision-making and enhance 
     organizational learning.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note a widespread recognition that the 
     Department of Defense (DOD) does not sufficiently incorporate 
     data into its acquisition-related learning and decision-
     making. Many major policy decisions are made without the 
     benefit of being informed by substantive data. These policies 
     are sometimes based on assumptions, and program reviews do 
     not always sufficiently incorporate relevant data against 
     which to evaluate success. The conferees note that the 
     Government Accountability Office reported in 2015 that DOD 
     officials responsible for acquisitions and developing 
     requirements lacked access to data and the analytical tools 
     necessary to conduct effective reviews.
       The conferees believe that data analysis and other 
     evaluation-related methods are a critical element in making 
     well-informed acquisition decisions and managing programs. As 
     the Congressional Research Service noted, a lack of data or 
     effective data analyses can lead to incorrect or misleading 
     conclusions. The result may be policies that squander 
     resources, waste taxpayer dollars, and undermine the 
     effectiveness of government programs or military operations.
       The conferees believe that one important aspect of 
     enhancing the use of data analytics in acquisitions is for 
     DOD to improve data sharing both within its programs and 
     organizations, and where appropriate outside the Department. 
     Sharing data externally includes publishing, to the maximum 
     extent practicable, and in a manner that protects classified 
     and proprietary information, data collected by the Department 
     that is related to acquisition program costs and activities. 
     Effectively sharing such data would allow industry, academia, 
     think tanks, and the public to develop analyses of trends, 
     lessons learned, best practices, and new analytical methods 
     and tools for decision-making. To this end, the conferees 
     encourage the Department to fund intramural and extramural 
     research and development activities to develop and implement 
     data analytics capabilities in support of improved 
     acquisition outcomes, possibly through leveraging the 
     authorities of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development 
     Fund.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, 
     acting through the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, the Deputy Chief 
     Management Officer, and the Chief Information Officer, and in 
     coordination with the military services, to assess the 
     effectiveness of current activities and policies related to 
     the use of data analysis, measurement, and other evaluation-
     related methods to the planning, implementation, and 
     management of acquisition programs and the improvement of 
     acquisition outcomes in the Department of Defense. The 
     activities to be assessed should include data analytics 
     capabilities and organizations within the military services; 
     capabilities in Department of Defense laboratories, test 
     centers, and Federally Funded Research and Development 
     Centers to provide technical support for data analytics; and 
     the use of existing analytical capabilities available to 
     acquisition programs and offices to support improved 
     acquisition outcomes.
       Further, the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 
     Logistics, shall conduct a review of the curriculum taught at 
     the National Defense University, the Defense Acquisition 
     University, and appropriate private-sector academic 
     institutions to determine the extent to which the curricula 
     includes appropriate courses on data analytics and other 
     evaluation-related methods and their application to defense 
     acquisitions, and how these efforts can be used by the 
     acquisition workforce to perform their missions.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, not later 
     than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, to 
     brief the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and House 
     of Representatives on the use of data analysis, measurement, 
     and other evaluation-related methods in DOD acquisition 
     programs. The briefing shall address the extent to which data 
     analytics capabilities have been implemented within the 
     military services, DOD laboratories, test centers, and 
     Federally Funded Research and Development Centers to provide 
     technical support for acquisition program management; the 
     potential to increase the use of analytical capabilities for 
     acquisition programs and offices to improve acquisition 
     outcomes; the amount of funding for intramural and extramural 
     research and development activities to develop and implement 
     data analytics capabilities in support of improved 
     acquisition outcomes; any potential improvements, based on 
     private-sector best practices, in the efficiency of current 
     data collection and analysis processes that could minimize 
     collection and delivery of data by, from, and to government 
     organizations; steps being taken to appropriately expose 
     acquisition data in an anonymized fashion to researchers and 
     analysts; and an assessment of whether the curriculum at the 
     National Defense University, the Defense Acquisition 
     University, and appropriate private-sector academic 
     institutions includes appropriate courses on data analytics 
     and other evaluation-related methods and their application to 
     defense acquisitions.
     Department of Defense exemptions from certain regulations
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 862) that would 
     exempt purchases of commercial off-the-shelf items by the 
     Department of Defense from certain Executive Orders and give 
     the Secretary of Defense waiver authority for other 
     purchases.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Use of non-cost type contracts to acquire commercial items
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 867) that would 
     amend section 2377 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require that the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 
     Supplement include guidance that firm fixed-priced contracts, 
     fixed-price incentive contracts, or fixed-price with economic 
     price adjustment contracts be used to the maximum extent 
     practicable for the acquisition of

[[Page 15155]]

     commercial items. Additionally, this provision would prohibit 
     the use of cost-type contracts for commercial items.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Modified requirements for distribution of assistance under 
         procurement technical assistance cooperative agreements
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 875) that would 
     amend section 2413(c) of title 10, United States Code, to 
     conform the Procurement Technical Assistance Program with the 
     Defense Logistics Agency current practice of using states as 
     the geographic basis for cooperative agreement awards.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees agree that the current formula for 
     distribution of grants to procurement technical assistance 
     centers (PTACs) should be adjusted to address that the 
     Department of Defense has consolidated its contract 
     administration services districts, which are currently the 
     basis for grant distribution pursuant to section 2413 of 
     title 10, United States Code. However, the conferees believe 
     that a successful funding formula should consider factors 
     such as avoiding the discontinuation of services to existing 
     clients of PTACs, the desirability of adding new PTACs or 
     expanding the client base of existing PTACs, the population 
     density, geographic accessibility of PTACs, duplication of 
     services, the level of success obtained by particular grant 
     recipients, the availability of funds, and other possible 
     factors. Therefore, the conferees direct the Department to 
     provide recommendations on appropriate factors and a funding 
     formula. To develop these recommendations, the Department 
     shall, at a minimum, work in consultation with current 
     grantees and their representatives and examine comparable 
     grant programs operated by other agencies. Such programs 
     could include the Small Business Development Centers, Women's 
     Business Centers, and Veterans Business Outreach Centers of 
     the Small Business Administration or the Business Centers of 
     the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of 
     Commerce. The Department's recommendations shall be provided 
     no later than March 1, 2017.
     Working capital fund for precision guided munitions exports 
         in support of contingency operations
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 882) that would 
     authorize the Secretary of Defense to establish a working 
     capital fund to finance inventories of supplies of precision 
     guided munitions in advance of partner and allied forces 
     requirements to enhance the effectiveness of overseas 
     contingency operations conducted or supported by the United 
     States.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Director of Developmental Test and Evaluation
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 894) that would 
     amend section 139 of title 10, United States Code, and 
     section 196(g) of title 10, United States Code, that would 
     refine the role of the Director of Operational Test and 
     Evaluation.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that Congress re-established a 
     developmental test and evaluation organization within the 
     defense research and engineering enterprise in 2009. Since 
     that time, the conferees have become concerned that the 
     Department has not established a reasonable balance of 
     investment between developmental and operational test 
     activities. The conferees believe it is necessary to examine 
     the functions and resources of the organizations of the 
     Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Developmental Test 
     and Evaluation (DT&E) and the Director of Operational 
     Test and Evaluation to better understand if the Department 
     has struck the right balance between these activities. To 
     improve test and evaluation results for the Department's 
     acquisition programs in the most efficient manner, the 
     Department's leadership must ensure sufficient resources to 
     support testing and oversight activities.
       The conferees note that, over time, the resources and 
     influence of the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the 
     Service developmental test and evaluation organizations have 
     declined, adversely impacting the successful outcomes of 
     acquisition efforts. However, the conferees believe that this 
     decline should be re-examined in light of the need for 
     stronger developmental test organizations to support 
     department-wide efforts to promote technical innovation and 
     re-establish battlefield technological superiority. As a 
     result, the conferees believe it would be useful for the 
     Department of Defense to review the resources allocated to 
     developmental and operational test and evaluation 
     organizations to address a number of issues and questions.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to form an 
     independent study panel, unaffiliated with a Federally Funded 
     Research and Development Center, to review the appropriate 
     roles, responsibilities, and level of resources for both 
     developmental and operational test and evaluation activities 
     required to execute statutory and regulatory responsibilities 
     within the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The panel will 
     develop such recommendations as it believes appropriate for 
     optimal resources and authorities to support developmental 
     and operational test missions. The review and report should 
     be completed no later than 1 year after the enactment of this 
     Act.
       The committee recommends that the panel address the 
     following questions:
       (a) How can the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation 
     and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
     Developmental Test and Evaluation (DASD DT&E) at the 
     Office of the Secretary of Defense approach oversight within 
     the system development cycle to avoid overlap but be mutually 
     supporting without sacrificing the independence of either 
     organization?
       (b) Does participation with and assessment of program 
     progress during phases prior to operational test and 
     evaluation bias the independent objectivity of the 
     operational test and evaluation organization?
       (c) Are there specific test and evaluation activities that 
     should be realigned for management within OSD or the services 
     to promote effectiveness and efficiency of those programs?
       (d) Overall are the developmental and operational test and 
     evaluation organizations effectively carrying out the 
     missions as described in title 10, United States Code, and 
     are there impediments to meeting those responsibilities? In 
     addition, are they engaged in activities outside their 
     mission areas?
       (e) Are the activities of the test and evaluation 
     organizations constructive, not duplicative or disruptive, to 
     support the acquisition goals of the military departments and 
     defense agencies?
       (f) What staffing authorities and other resources are 
     needed to support effective and efficient oversight of both 
     the developmental and operational phases of testing 
     commensurate with the effort to each relative to the portion 
     of the programs that their oversight entails?
     Improved transparency and oversight over Department of 
         Defense research, development, test, and evaluation 
         efforts and procurement activities related to medical 
         research
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 898) that would 
     prohibit the Secretary of Defense from entering into a 
     contract, grant, or cooperative agreement for congressional 
     special interest medical research programs under the 
     congressionally directed medical research program of the 
     Department of Defense unless additional cost accounting and 
     other specified requirements were implemented.
       The House amendment 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

     Organization of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (sec. 
         901)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 901) that would 
     amend section 133 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     establish the position of the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Research and Engineering, amend section 138 of title 10, 
     United States Code, to establish and consolidate certain 
     Assistant Secretary of Defense positions, and make other 
     conforming changes. The provision would also amend section 
     132a of title 10, United States Code, to redesignate the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Business Management and 
     Information as the Under Secretary of Defense for Management 
     and Support.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 846) that 
     would revise the effective date for amendments relating to 
     the conversion of the position of the Deputy Chief Management 
     Officer to the position of the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Business Management and Information.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
     chapter 4 of title 10, United States Code, to establish an 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, an 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, 
     and a chief management officer within the Department of 
     Defense, effective on February 1, 2018. The amendment would 
     make other modifying and conforming changes, and require the 
     Secretary of Defense to conduct a review and submit a report 
     to the congressional defense committees on the organizational 
     and management structure for the Department.
       Three broad priorities framed the conference discussions: 
     (1) elevate the mission of advancing technology and 
     innovation within the Department; (2) foster distinct 
     technology and acquisition cultures to better deliver 
     superior capabilities for the armed forces; and (3) provide 
     greater oversight and management of the Department's Fourth 
     Estate. The conferees believe that separating the ``chief 
     technology officer'' and ``chief acquisition officer'' 
     responsibilities currently residing with the Under Secretary 
     of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, as 
     well as establishing a ``chief management officer'' within 
     the Department, addresses

[[Page 15156]]

     these priorities and better postures the Office of the 
     Secretary of Defense organizationally to meet future national 
     security challenges.
       The conferees believe the technology and acquisition 
     missions and cultures are distinct. The conferees expect that 
     the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering 
     would take risks, press the technology envelope, test and 
     experiment, and have the latitude to fail, as appropriate. 
     Whereas the conferees would expect the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to focus on timely, 
     cost-effective delivery and sustainment of products and 
     services, and thus seek to minimize any risks to that 
     objective.
       Some will argue that the agreement exacerbates the 
     technology ``valley of death.'' The conferees acknowledge 
     that there will be seams in any organizational construct, but 
     also believe that this seam creates a healthy tension that 
     can be mitigated through effective leadership and management. 
     As an Under Secretary, third in precedence, the conferees 
     expect that the ``chief technology officer'' would have the 
     stature and resources to drive innovation throughout the 
     Department, including as needed through development and 
     implementation of innovative policies and practices. At the 
     same time, the conferees would expect the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to challenge any 
     advanced technology ideas that the Under Secretary cannot 
     confidently deliver on within cost, schedule, and performance 
     objectives, and shape those efforts appropriately.
       The conferees recognize that the implementation of this 
     provision will require further examination and analysis, to 
     include a deeper review of authorities, responsibilities, 
     resource implications, and the appropriate allocation of 
     subordinate positions and organizations. As such, the 
     provision provides policy guidance on roles and 
     responsibilities for each of the three senior leadership 
     positions and repeals requirements in statute for specific 
     subordinate assistant and deputy assistant secretaries of 
     defense to provide flexibility to the Department to allocate 
     such subordinate positions to best meet congressional policy 
     guidance.
       The conferees believe a review of authorities is 
     particularly important, especially as they relate to any 
     direction and supervisory authorities vested in the three 
     senior leadership positions, to allow those senior leaders to 
     effectively oversee and manage activities and resources 
     within their portfolios at the direction of the Secretary of 
     Defense. Similarly, the conferees believe an in-depth 
     examination of the placement within the Department and the 
     responsibilities of the chief management officer is also 
     warranted, as they believe such an officer could provide 
     greater oversight and management of the non-homogenous 
     organizations that comprise the Department's Fourth Estate. 
     The conferees also believe an examination of the potential 
     for the establishment of a Chief Innovation Officer position, 
     informed by best private sector practices, is warranted.
       The conferees set a date of February 1, 2018, for the 
     implementation of the three senior leadership positions, to 
     provide the Department with time to conduct the required 
     review, to engage the congressional defense committees, and 
     to provide its recommendations on an organization and 
     management structure for the Department. However, the 
     conferees encourage the President to move out earlier on 
     nominations for these senior leadership positions.
       Lastly, while the focus of this provision is on the Office 
     of the Secretary of Defense, the conferees also recognize 
     that the Department as a whole must be examined to provide 
     the organizational and management agility and adaptability 
     necessary to address longer-term national security 
     challenges.
     Responsibilities and reporting of the Chief Information 
         Officer of the Department of Defense (sec. 902)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 903) that would 
     amend paragraph 8 of section 132(b) of title 10, United 
     States Code, to establish the position of the Assistant 
     Secretary of Defense for Information.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify in 
     sections 131 and 142 of title 10, United States Code, the 
     responsibilities of the Chief Information Officer of the 
     Department of Defense.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to develop a 
     plan within 180 days after the enactment of this Act to 
     implement a more optimized organizational structure and 
     processes to support information management and cyber 
     operations to include the policy, direction, oversight and 
     acquisition functions performed by the Deputy Chief 
     Management Officer, the Chief Information Officer, the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and 
     Logistics, the Under Secretary for Policy, and the Under 
     Secretary for Intelligence and any other relevant entity in 
     the Department of Defense. This plan should include both 
     business systems and national security systems and explore 
     the responsibilities for cyber and space policy, information 
     network defense, and the development of policies and 
     standards governing information technology systems and 
     related information security activities of the Department. 
     This plan should also assess the effectiveness and utility of 
     the cross functional team supporting the Principal Cyber 
     Advisor established by section 932(c)(3) of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 
     113-66).
     Maximum number of personnel in Office of the Secretary of 
         Defense and other Department of Defense headquarters 
         offices (sec. 903)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 904) that 
     would:
       (1) amend section 143 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     limit the number of civilian and detailed individuals 
     authorized to be assigned to the Office of the Secretary of 
     Defense to 3,767;
       (2) amend section 155 of title 10, to limit the number of 
     personnel on the Joint Staff to 1,930 including not more than 
     1,500 Active-Duty service members;
       (3) amend section 3014 of title 10, to limit the total 
     number of members of the Armed Forces and civilian employees 
     of the Department of the Army assigned or detailed to 
     permanent duty in the Office of the Secretary of the Army and 
     on the Army staff to 3,105; and to reduce the total number of 
     general officers assigned or detailed to permanent duty in 
     the Office of the Secretary of the Army and on the Army staff 
     from 67 to 50.
       (4) amend section 5014 of title 10, to limit the total 
     number of members of the Armed Forces and civilian employees 
     of the Department of the Navy assigned or detailed to 
     permanent duty in the Office of the Secretary of the Navy and 
     on the Navy staff to 2,866; and to reduce the total number of 
     flag officers assigned or detailed to permanent duty in the 
     Office of the Secretary of the Navy and on the Navy staff 
     from 67 to 50.
       (5) amend section 8014 of title 10, to limit the total 
     number of members of the Armed Forces and civilian employees 
     of the Department of the Air Force assigned or detailed to 
     permanent duty in the Office of the Secretary of the Air 
     Force and on the Air Force staff to 2,639; and to reduce the 
     total number of general officers assigned or detailed to 
     permanent duty in the Office of the Secretary of the Air 
     Force and on the Air Force staff from 60 to 45.
       The provision would further clarify the exceptions to the 
     personnel limits. It would allow the limits to be increased 
     by 15 percent during a national emergency.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     number of civilians assigned or detailed to the headquarters 
     operations, establish a 2,069 personnel limit for the Joint 
     Staff, and clarify that the exceptions to the personnel 
     limits allow an additional 15 percent during national 
     emergencies.
     Repeal of Financial Management Modernization Executive 
         Committee (sec. 904)
       The Senate bill contained a provision that would repeal 
     section 185 of title 10, United States Code, regarding the 
     Department of Defense Financial Management Modernization 
     Executive Committee.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

 Subtitle B--Organization and Management of the Department of Defense 
                               Generally

     Organizational Strategy for the Department of Defense (sec. 
         911)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 941) that would 
     require the Secretary of Defense to develop and implement an 
     organizational strategy for the Department of Defense (DOD).
       The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) 
     streamline and condense the organizational strategy required 
     from the Secretary; (2) substantially enhance the requirement 
     for an independent study of private sector and government 
     experience with cross-functional teams (CFTs), and the use of 
     cross-functional groups by the Department of Defense, to 
     inform the Secretary's implementation of CFTs and the 
     cultural changes needed for their success; (3) lengthen and 
     rationalize the timelines for the next Secretary of Defense 
     to accomplish the changes mandated by the Senate provision; 
     and (4) provide additional discretion to the Secretary 
     regarding the number, characteristics, and application of 
     mandated CFTs.
       The intention of the conferees in adopting this provision 
     is to provide the Secretary of Defense with a valuable tool 
     for improving the performance of even the most elite 
     organizations. Recognizing that the civilian and military 
     employees of the Department of Defense are committed to the 
     mission of protecting and defending the United States, the 
     conferees believe that CFTs will provide the Secretary, and 
     therefore the DOD workforce, a tool to more-effectively 
     achieve their shared mission. The conferees believe that CFTs 
     will enable the Secretary to more rapidly and effectively 
     develop solutions and strategies for complex critical 
     objectives and other organizational outputs of the Department 
     of Defense by harnessing and integrating the expertise and 
     ingenuity resident in the Department's functional 
     organizations.

[[Page 15157]]

       Successful CFTs require that DOD develop a more 
     collaborative culture, just as the Goldwater-Nichols Act 
     reforms required a cultural change to instill ``jointness'' 
     among the military services to better support integrated 
     operations for the combatant commands. The conferees 
     recognize that it is difficult to legislate cultural change, 
     but note that cultural change mandated by Goldwater-Nichols 
     was achieved, and that this section promotes a more 
     collaborative culture by such practical steps as training, 
     directives and guidance, and performance reviews. However, 
     the views and expectations of the Secretary and his principal 
     staff advisers will be critical to success.
       DOD officials have expressed the concern that the CFTs 
     mandated under this section will undermine the authority of 
     the Secretary of Defense and confuse lines of responsibility. 
     The conferees emphasize that the authority of the CFTs, which 
     will be established and directed by the Secretary and will 
     support the Secretary, derives from the authority of the 
     Secretary. Any authority being exercised is the delegated 
     authority of the Secretary and is to be applied to cross-
     cutting objectives and other organizational issues that are 
     not under the authority of any officials other than the 
     Secretary and Deputy Secretary of Defense.
       The conferees note that DOD has established CFTs in the 
     past that were highly effective, including teams to improve 
     care for wounded warriors, dramatically increase intelligence 
     support to counter-terrorism forces, and rapidly build 
     thousands of life-saving armored vehicles to protect forces 
     facing dire threats from improvised explosive devices. The 
     attributes of these successful teams, and the manner in which 
     they were managed, as well as the collective experience of 
     the private sector and other government organizations, are 
     reflected in the provision adopted by the conferees.
       The conferees hope and expect that the good-faith 
     implementation of this provision will demonstrate the value 
     of properly constructed CFTs, which will spur the use of such 
     teams across the Department, supporting officials and 
     decision-making at all levels of the enterprise.
     Policy, organization, and management goals and priorities of 
         the Secretary of Defense for the Department of Defense 
         (sec. 912)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 942) that would 
     require a series of management directives for the next 
     Secretary of Defense.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would scope the 
     management overview to focus on policy goals, organizational 
     management, and delayering of Department of Defense 
     organizations and require updates in the form of a briefing 
     on February 1 of each year through 2022 after the initial 
     written report is submitted by April 1, 2017.
       The Conferees note that the Secretary of Defense is 
     expected to utilize the delivery unit authorized in this Act 
     to assist with the execution and tracking of goals set under 
     this provision.
     Secretary of Defense delivery unit (sec. 913)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 906) that would 
     provide the Secretary of Defense with the authority to 
     establish a delivery unit that would report directly to the 
     Secretary in order to provide expertise and support on key 
     reform and business transformation priorities across the 
     Department for no more than four years beginning February 1, 
     2017. Such delivery unit may utilize the public-private 
     talent exchange authorities available to the Secretary and 
     consist of no more than 30 professionals with deep experience 
     in management consulting, organization transformation, and 
     data analytics.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would expand the 
     role of the delivery unit beyond the business transformation 
     process to also include the authority to identify and 
     recommend resolutions to obstacles impeding the 
     implementation of the Secretary's policies. The amendment 
     also moves the establishment date of the delivery unit to 
     March 1, 2017.
     Performance of civilian functions by military personnel (sec. 
         914)
       The House amendment contained a provision (H. 923) that 
     would prohibit the conversion of positions performed by 
     civilian personnel to performance by military personnel in 
     most cases.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would further 
     clarify that functions performed by civilian personnel should 
     not be performed by military personnel except to meet mission 
     requirements, as determined by the Secretary of a military 
     department, or to address critical staffing needs for no more 
     than one year resulting from congressional reductions in 
     personnel or budgetary resources.
     Repeal of requirements relating to efficiencies plan for the 
         civilian personnel workforce and service contractor 
         workforce of the Department of Defense (sec. 915)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1084) that 
     would repeal section 955 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

    Subtitle C--Joint Chiefs of Staff and Combatant Command Matters

     Joint Chiefs of Staff and related combatant command matters 
         (sec. 921)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 921) that would 
     amend sections 151 and 153 of title 10, United States Code, 
     to clarify the role of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
     Staff and the key duties that this officer must perform on 
     behalf of the joint force, specifically: providing advice on 
     the military elements of defense strategy and the global 
     integration of military activities; advocating for the joint 
     warfighter of today and tomorrow, especially with respect to 
     developing joint capabilities; ensuring comprehensive joint 
     readiness; and fostering joint force development. This 
     provision seeks to clarify the role of the Chairman and 
     thereby set an expectation that the preponderance of any 
     Chairman's time should be devoted to the key strategic, 
     global, and joint duties that are the Chairman's unique 
     purview within the military.
       The provision would also enhance the role of the other 
     members of the Joint Chiefs, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff as 
     a corporate body, to provide military advice to civilian 
     leaders, including on the military elements of strategy. 
     Current law provides the Chairman discretion with regard to 
     how much to consult with the other Joint Chiefs and whether 
     to inform civilian leaders of alternative military advice. 
     This provision would seek to better enable the Chairman to 
     act as the principal military adviser to civilian leaders.
       The House amendment contained two similar provisions (sec. 
     907 and sec. 908). The first provision in the House amendment 
     (sec. 907) would amend section 152(a) of title 10, United 
     States Code, to extend the term of office of the Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2 years to 4 years. This 
     section would also limit the reappointment of the Chairman to 
     additional terms only in a time of war, and limit the 
     combined period of service of an officer serving as Chairman 
     or Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to 8 years.
       The second provision (sec. 908) in the House amendment 
     would amend section 153(a) of title 10, United States Code, 
     which sets forth the functions of the Chairman of the Joint 
     Chiefs of Staff, by codifying the Chairman's responsibility 
     to provide advice to the President and the Secretary of 
     Defense on ongoing military operations and to provide advice 
     to the Secretary on the allocation and transfer of forces 
     among combatant commands.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make certain 
     changes to enhance the position of the other members of the 
     Joint Chiefs as military advisors, extend the terms of the 
     Chairman and the Vice Chairman to 4 years and ensure that 
     such terms are staggered, outline the Chairman's role in 
     planning, advice, global military integration, and ensure 
     open communication between the combatant commands and the 
     Chairman.
     Organization of the Department of Defense for management of 
         special operations forces and special operations (sec. 
         922)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 923) that would 
     amend sections 138 and 167 of title 10, United States Code, 
     to modify the roles and responsibilities of the Assistant 
     Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity 
     Conflict (ASD SOLIC) and the Commander of U.S. Special 
     Operations Command (SOCOM).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would make 
     clarifying changes.
       The conferees note that in recent years SOCOM has undergone 
     significant change and the capabilities of special operations 
     forces (SOF) have taken on critical importance for addressing 
     the threat posed by violent extremist groups and other 
     security challenges facing our nation. Since 2001, SOCOM's 
     personnel numbers (civilian and military) have nearly 
     doubled, its budget nearly tripled, and overseas deployments 
     of SOF nearly quadrupled.
       Under provisions included in the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1987 (Public Law 99-661), 
     commonly referred to as the ``Nunn-Cohen Amendment,'' the ASD 
     SOLIC is tasked with the responsibility to provide ``the 
     overall supervision (including oversight of policy and 
     resources) of special operations activities'' and is 
     identified as ``the principal civilian advisor to the 
     Secretary of Defense on special operations and low intensity 
     conflict matters.''
       The provisions described above were intended to empower the 
     ASD SOLIC to serve a hybrid role as: 1) the Department's lead 
     civilian policy official for matters related to special 
     operations and low intensity conflict; and 2) the ``service 
     secretary-like'' civilian with responsibility for the 
     oversight and advocacy of SOCOM and the organization, 
     training, and equipping of SOF. However, the conferees 
     believe the ASD SOLIC has been challenged in fulfilling their 
     ``service secretary-like'' responsibilities for a number of

[[Page 15158]]

     reasons. For example, the ASD SOLIC's organizational location 
     within the office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy 
     (USD(P)) has resulted in the ASD SOLIC dedicating a 
     preponderance of their time and resources to policy and 
     operational issues, at the expense of their ``service 
     secretary-like'' responsibilities. Additionally, other 
     civilian offices with greater seniority within the Department 
     exercise related and, at times, overlapping responsibilities 
     for aspects of SOF oversight, thereby complicating the ASD 
     SOLIC's primacy in such matters. Furthermore, the conferees 
     understand that studies directed by the Department when the 
     ASD SOLIC was created determined that appropriate staffing 
     levels for the organization would require between 95 and 110 
     personnel. However, the office of the ASD SOLIC is currently 
     only staffed by approximately 60 military and civilian 
     personnel, only 6 of whom are focused on tasks related to the 
     oversight and advocacy of the organization, training, and 
     equipping of SOF. Furthermore, the addition of 
     responsibilities for the counter-narcotics programs, building 
     partner capacity initiatives, and humanitarian and disaster 
     relief efforts of the DOD have further stretched the 
     resources available to the office since its creation.
       The conferees intend for this provision to clarify and 
     strengthen the original mandate provided by the Nunn-Cohen 
     Amendment that established the ASD SOLIC. The provision is 
     intended to facilitate the unique ``service secretary-like'' 
     responsibilities of the ASD SOLIC by mirroring the 
     administrative chain of command relationship between the 
     service secretaries and the military services for issues 
     impacting the special operations-peculiar (commonly referred 
     to as Major Force Program-11) administration and support of 
     SOCOM, including the readiness and organization of SOF, 
     resources (including program planning, allocation, and 
     execution) and equipment, and relevant civilian personnel 
     matters. The provision shall not impact the operational chain 
     of command for SOF activities or the ``service-common'' 
     responsibilities of the military services including personnel 
     and other matters that are not special operations-peculiar.
       The conferees are mindful of the congressionally-directed 
     reductions to headquarters staff, but believe that the 
     ``service secretary-like'' mission of the ASD SOLIC should be 
     more robustly resourced in order to rebalance the ASD SOLIC's 
     lines of effort and fulfill its mandate under title 10, 
     United States Code. The conferees also expect the 
     codification of the Special Operations Policy and Oversight 
     Council under this provision to improve the oversight and 
     advocacy of SOF by integrating the efforts of the various 
     functional offices with direct or tangential responsibilities 
     for SOF issues, thereby partially mitigating the need for 
     significant numbers of additional personnel.
       Additionally, the conferees note that the President 
     approved the transfer of the mission for synchronizing global 
     Department of Defense operations for countering weapons of 
     mass destruction (CWMD) from United States Strategic Command 
     (STRATCOM) to United States Special Operations Command on 
     August 4, 2016. According to the Secretary of Defense 
     ``Expediting the transfer of CWMD responsibilities will allow 
     USSOCOM to assume leadership for synchronization of 
     Department of Defense (DoD) efforts in this critical mission, 
     which will include updating the DoD CWMD Campaign Plan and 
     instituting a comprehensive mission assessment process. I 
     recommend this course of action to best ensure consistent, 
     focused, and strengthened CWMD efforts across the Department 
     and with our interagency and international partners.'' The 
     conferees support the transfer of the CWMD global 
     synchronization mission to SOCOM because it may ensure 
     appropriate DOD and interagency attention for this critical 
     mission, facilitate synchronization with counterterrorism and 
     other transregional efforts, and strengthen the preparedness 
     of U.S. Special Operations Forces to counter these threats. 
     However, the conferees are concerned that the requirements to 
     successfully implement this mission change may not be fully 
     defined and understood at this time. The conferees believe 
     that it is important to clearly define requirements for this 
     mission transfer to ensure that resources needed by SOCOM to 
     adequately carry out this mission are appropriately 
     transferred and provided for across the future years defense 
     program.
       Therefore, not later than 90 days after enactment of this 
     Act, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit 
     to the congressional defense committees the implementation 
     plan for the transfer of the CWMD global synchronization 
     mission. The report should include: an identification of 
     resources, authorities, personnel or capabilities needed for 
     this mission, and plans to implement those in the future 
     years defense program; identification of the 
     responsibilities, organizations, personnel and capabilities 
     to be transferred from Strategic Command, including those at 
     the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, to SOCOM to support the 
     mission; oversight responsibilities within the Office of the 
     Secretary of Defense; dates and criteria for the initial 
     operating capability and full operating capability 
     milestones.
     Establishment of Unified Combatant Command for Cyber 
         Operations (sec. 923)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 911) that 
     would establish a unified combatant command for cyber 
     operations with the primary function to prepare cyber 
     operations forces to carry out assigned missions.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
       The conferees note transparency of U.S. Cyber Command 
     operations, forces, and other activities is critical to 
     oversight of the command by Congress. The conferees expect 
     the quarterly cyber operations briefings, mandated by Title 
     10, United States Code, Section 484, to continue to serve as 
     a forum for providing information to Congress on all 
     offensive and significant defensive military operations in 
     cyberspace carried out by the unified combatant command in 
     the preceding quarter and serve as mechanism for informing 
     Congress of other activities of the command.
       In establishing the unified combatant command for cyber 
     operations, the conferees also expect the Secretary of 
     Defense, in conjunction with the relevant agencies and 
     entities within the Department of Defense, to establish 
     formal procedures for notification to Congress of significant 
     operations in cyberspace on a timely basis. The conferees 
     also expect the Secretary to establish formal procedures for 
     notification to Congress of other significant command 
     activities, such as delegation of new authorities to the 
     United States Cyber Command Commander for cyberspace 
     operations by the Secretary of Defense and relevant policy 
     and internal oversight decisions affecting activities of the 
     command.
     Assigned forces of the combatant commands (sec. 924)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1041) that 
     would amend section 162 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     require the secretaries of the military departments, at the 
     direction of the Secretary of Defense, to assign forces under 
     the jurisdiction of the secretaries concerned to the 
     combatant commands to perform missions assigned to the 
     combatant commands. Forces that are not so assigned shall 
     remain under the direction and control of the respective 
     military department secretaries for purposes of carrying out 
     the secretaries' responsibilities under sections 3013, 5013, 
     and 8013 including organizing, training, and mobilizing of 
     all United States military forces.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     909).
       The House recedes.
     Modifications to the requirements process (sec. 925)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 943) that would 
     amend Section 181 of title 10, United States Code, to clarify 
     and modify the joint and service-specific requirements 
     process. This provision would ensure that the service chief 
     of the relevant military service is responsible for all 
     service-specific requirements, and Joint Requirements 
     Oversight Council (JROC) validation is not required before 
     commencing a service-specific acquisition program, except for 
     a major defense acquisition program or a service-specific 
     program designated for JROC oversight by the Chairman of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff. Additionally, this provision would 
     require the Chairman to determine whether a major defense 
     acquisition program meets joint requirements before the 
     program or subprogram receives Milestone A approval or is 
     otherwise initiated prior to Milestone B. The provision also 
     would make the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff the 
     principal adviser to the Chairman on requirements.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     responsibilities of the JROC to focus on critical joint 
     warfighting needs by: (1) determining gaps in joint military 
     capabilities; (2) validating that proposed capabilities 
     fulfill a gap; and (3) approving only joint performance 
     requirements, such as interoperability or those involving 
     more than one military service. The amendment would retain 
     language from section 181 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     clarify that the mission of the JROC shall include other 
     matters assigned to it by the President or Secretary of 
     Defense, and that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 
     shall appoint members to the JROC who are recommended by the 
     Secretaries of the military departments. The amendment would 
     retain the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) as an 
     advisor to the JROC and broaden the base of analytic support 
     that shall assist the JROC to include organizations within 
     the Department that have operations research, systems 
     analysis, and cost estimation expertise. The amendment also 
     would modify definitions of joint military capabilities and 
     performance requirements.
       The amendment also would provide the JROC with authority to 
     review performance requirements for other proposed or 
     existing capabilities that the Chairman determines should be 
     reviewed by the JROC. The conferees expect that this 
     authority would be used only in limited situations, such as 
     the review of proposed capabilities that may affect the joint 
     force or an existing materiel

[[Page 15159]]

     capability solution that may no longer satisfy a previously 
     identified gap. This authority should not supersede any other 
     existing statutory or regulatory authority that pertains to 
     the review and approval of requirements by other entities, 
     such as the Missile Defense Agency or the authority to 
     validate requirements provided to the Special Operations 
     Command in Section 167 of title 10, United States Code.
       Additionally, the amendment requires that the Secretary of 
     Defense establish an investment review process, to be co-
     chaired by the Deputy Secretary of Defense and the Vice 
     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to establish cost and 
     fielding targets for new programs pursuant to section 2448a 
     of this Act. To support establishment of cost and fielding 
     targets, the amendment transfers from the JROC to the new 
     investment review process the review of trade-offs among 
     life-cycle cost, schedule, and performance objectives. The 
     conferees direct the Secretary to develop a plan for 
     implementing this investment review process and to brief the 
     defense committees on the elements of the plan no later than 
     6 months after enactment of the Act. In developing the plan, 
     the conferees direct the Secretary to evaluate the 
     Department's Analysis of Alternatives process for determining 
     trade-offs and weapon system solutions in acquisition 
     programs.
     Assessments of combatant command structure (sec. 926)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 924) that would 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to initiate a pilot program 
     on the organization of a unified combatant command by 
     organizing the subordinate commands of such unified combatant 
     command in the form of joint task forces.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     914) that would require the Secretary of Defense to enter 
     into a contract with an independent entity to conduct an 
     assessment on the combatant command structure and to provide 
     recommendations for improving the overall effectiveness of 
     combatant command structures.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment clarifying that the 
     Secretary of Defense shall conduct an assessment of the 
     organization of the combatant commands and provide 
     recommendations for changes to improve the effectiveness of 
     such commands as well as enter into a contract for an 
     independent assessment of the organization of the combatant 
     commands.
       The conferees expect the assessments to address any 
     deficiencies in the current organization of the combatant 
     commands; to review the growth in the size of staffs of the 
     unified combatant commands and whether such growth inhibits 
     an effective and efficient performance; to determine whether 
     the combatant commands are best aligned to address 
     persistent, trans-regional, cross-functional, and multi-
     domain threats; and to assess whether the current structure 
     encourages the unified combatant commands to be overly 
     focused on mission support activities and not sufficiently 
     focused on operational missions of the combatant commands.

Subtitle D--Organization and Management of Other Department of Defense 
                          Offices and Elements

     Qualifications for appointment of the Secretaries of the 
         military departments (sec. 931)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 902) that would 
     amend sections 3013, 5013, 8013 of title 10, United States 
     Code, to prescribe management experience of large and complex 
     organizations as qualification required for individuals to 
     serve as the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, 
     respectively.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would establish 
     that service secretaries shall, to the greatest extent 
     practicable, be appointed from among persons most highly 
     qualified for the position by reason of background and 
     experience, including persons with appropriate management or 
     leadership experience.
     Enhanced personnel management authorities for the Chief of 
         the National Guard Bureau (sec. 932)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 944) that would 
     amend section 1058 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     enhance the personnel management authority of the Chief of 
     the National Guard Bureau by authorizing the Chief to program 
     for, appoint, employ, administer, detail, and assign federal 
     civilian employees to provide full-time support to the non-
     federalized National Guard. This provision clarifies that 
     state adjutants general will continue to exercise their 
     authority to hire, employ, and supervise the federal civilian 
     employees providing full-time support to their state.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Reorganization and redesignation of Office of Family Policy 
         and Office of Community Support for Military Families 
         with Special Needs (sec. 933)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 947) that would 
     amend sections 1781
       (a) and 1781
       (c) of title 10, United States Code, to reorganize and 
     redesignate the Office of Family Policy into the Office of 
     Military Family Readiness Policy and the Office of Community 
     Support for Military Families with Special Needs into the 
     Office of Special Needs. The provision would reorganize the 
     Office of Special Needs under the Office of Military Family 
     Readiness Policy. The provision would also require the 
     director of the Office of Military Family Readiness Policy to 
     be a member of the Senior Executive Service or a general or 
     flag officer.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would repeal the 
     requirement for the head of the office to be a member of the 
     Senior Executive Service or a general or flag officer.
     Redesignation of Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for 
         Acquisition as Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for 
         Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (sec. 934)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 949) that would 
     amend section 8016(b)(4)
       (A) of title 10, United States Code, to redesignate the 
     title of ``Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for 
     Acquisition'' to read ``Assistant Secretary of the Air Force 
     for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics'' in this and all 
     other laws.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

          Subtitle E--Strategies, Reports, and Related Matters

     National Defense Strategy (sec. 941)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1096) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to provide the 
     congressional defense committees a national defense strategy 
     that addresses the highest priority missions for the 
     Department of Defense, the most critical and enduring threats 
     to the national security of the United States and its allies, 
     and the strategies that the Department will use to counter 
     those threats.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     904).
       The House recedes with amendments clarifying the form and 
     frequency of the national defense strategy and making other 
     technical changes.
     Commission on the National Defense Strategy for the United 
         States (sec. 942)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 903) that 
     would establish a commission to be known as the ``Commission 
     on the National Defense Strategy for the United States'' to 
     examine and make recommendations with respect to national 
     defense strategy for the United States.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1078).
       The Senate recedes with amendments addressing threat 
     assessments and force structure and making other technical 
     changes.
       The commission would replace the National Defense Panel and 
     precede the development of the National Defense Strategy, 
     required elsewhere in this Act. The conferees believe that 
     such an independent effort to provide recommendations and 
     identify key issues and areas of focus, would improve the 
     Secretary's development of strategy. Furthermore, the 
     conferees believe that such a bipartisan effort could help 
     build national consensus on how to address complex and 
     challenging national security issues.

     strategy report to be delivered in classified form, but it 
     may include an unclassified summary.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with technical amendment that clarifies 
     the report should be delivered to Congress.
     Modification to independent study of national security 
         strategy formulation process (sec. 945)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 906) that 
     would amend section 1064 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), 
     which requires an independent study of the national security 
     strategy formulation process, by adding a requirement for the 
     study to address the workforce responsible for conducting 
     strategic planning and to examine how Congress fits into the 
     strategy formulation process.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

     Department of Defense. This provision would also strengthen 
     insider threat detection programs by streamlining 
     requirements for the collection, storage, and retention of

     background and security clearance investigations back to the 
     Department of Defense, include requirements for developing

     clarify that the DPAA director retains authority to establish 
     policy and execute recovery operations for missing persons 
     from past conflicts. In addition, this provision would 
     clarify that the Department is required to account for 
     missing persons only to the extent practicable upon discovery 
     of remains of missing personnel.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

       The conferees believe the public is entitled to appropriate 
     access to investigations that substantiate misconduct by 
     senior officials of the Department of Defense and the

     of Defense Inspector General's on-line FOIA Reading Room 
     currently includes reports concerning those senior officials.

                     Subtitle A--Financial Matters

     General transfer authority (sec. 1001)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1001) that 
     would allow the Secretary of Defense to transfer up to $4.0 
     billion of fiscal year 2017 funds authorized in division A of 
     this Act to unforeseen higher priority needs in accordance 
     with normal reprogramming procedures. Transfers of funds 
     between military personnel authorizations would not be 
     counted toward the dollar limitation in this provision.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1001) that would allow the Secretary of Defense, with certain 
     limitations, to make transfers between amounts authorized for 
     fiscal year 2017 in division A of this Act. This section 
     would limit the total amount transferred under this authority

     would express the sense of the Senate that the statutory 
     budget caps imposed by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA) 
     remain an unreasonable and inadequate budgeting tool to 
     address the Nation's fiscal challenges. The Senate remains 
     concerned about the harmful impacts of sequestration on our 
     national defense, to include non-defense agencies that 
     contribute to our national security. This provision 
     acknowledges that relief from the BCA should include both 
     defense and non-defense spending.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would express the 
     sense of the congress that sequestration is an unreasonable 
     and inadequate budgeting tool, imposes unacceptable 
     limitations on the budget and increased risk to national 
     security, and that the caps in the budget control act should 
     be modified through a bipartisan legislative agreement.

         Acquisition Workforce Development Fund to the Treasury 
         (sec. 1005)

     as most recently amended by section 1012 of the Carl Levin 
     and Howard P. `Buck' McKeon National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). The provision 
     would also make modifications to the types of support that 
     may be provided with respect to foreign law enforcement.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would codify and 
     make modifications to the authority of the Department of 
     Defense to provide support for counter-drug activities and 
     activities to counter transnational organized crime of 
     civilian law enforcement agencies. The provision would also 
     require coordination with the Secretary of State for support 
     for foreign law enforcement agencies under the authority.
       The conferees are concerned about the threat posed by the 
     production and trafficking of heroin, fentanyl (and precursor 
     chemicals), and other illicit drugs. Consistent with the 
     Department's authorities and missions, the conferees direct 
     the Department to ensure appropriate resources are allocated 
     to efforts to combat this threat.
     Secretary of Defense review of curricula and program 
         structures of National Guard counterdrug schools (sec. 
         1012)

     approve the curriculum and program structure of each of the 
     National Guard counterdrug schools.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
       The conferees note the importance of the National Guard 
     counterdrug schools in the development, training, and 
     maintenance of skills for Federal, State, local, and foreign 
     government officials to combat illicit trafficking. The 
     committee supports increased oversight of these schools by 
     the Secretary to improve the alignment of curriculum to 
     defense priorities and the allocation of limited resources.
     Extension of authority to support unified counterdrug and 
         counterterrorism campaign in Colombia (sec. 1013)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1007) that 
     would extend by 4 years the authority to support the unified 
     counterdrug and counterterrorism campaign in the Republic of 
     Colombia originally authorized by section 1021 of the Ronald 
     W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2005 (Public Law 108-375), and most recently amended by 
     section 1011 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92).
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1013) that would extend by 1 year the authority to support 
     the unified counterdrug and counterterrorism campaign in the 
     Republic of Colombia authorized by section 1021 of the Ronald 
     W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2005 (Public Law 108-375), and most recently amended by

     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     authority for 2 years.
       The conferees strongly support the vital partnership 
     between the United States and Colombia and note the 
     remarkable security gains the Government of Colombia has 
     achieved over the last 15 years. The conferees believe that 
     an enduring security relationship between the U.S. and 
     Colombia is essential to sustaining and building upon these 
     gains and urge the Department of Defense, in coordination 
     with the interagency, to ensure its security cooperation 
     programs and authorities reflect the evolving security 
     environment in Colombia and the region.
     Enhancement of information sharing and coordination of 
         military training between Department of Homeland Security 
         and Department of Defense (sec. 1014)

     would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to ensure 
     that the information needs of the Department of Homeland 
     Security (DHS) relating to civilian law enforcement 
     activities in proximity to the borders of the United States 
     are identified and communicated to the Secretary of Defense 
     for the purposes of planning and executing military training. 
     The provision would require the Secretary of Defense to 
     ensure that such military training conducted in proximity to 
     the borders of the U.S. is coordinated with DHS. Further, the 
     provision would require the Secretary of Homeland Security 
     and the Secretary of Defense to create joint guidance to 
     ensure information relevant to drug interdiction or other 
     civilian law enforcement matters that is collected by the 
     U.S. military during the normal course of military training 
     or operations is provided promptly to civilian law 
     enforcement officials in accordance with section 371 of title 
     10, United States Code.

         repair, or maintenance of naval vessels (sec. 1021)

       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1022) that

     may waive this requirement if a limited liability of 
     warranted work is in the best interest of the government.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit this 
     provision to new construction contracts in the Shipbuilding 
     and Conversion, Navy account, as well as establish the 
     effective date of this provision as the date of the enactment 
     of the National Defense Authorization for Fiscal Year 2018 or

     National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund (sec. 1023)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1023) that

       (3) Clarify the definition of a national sea-based 
     deterrence vessel.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would delete the 
     transfer authority expansion and limit the use of multiyear 
     procurement authority to that needed to support continuous 
     production of the common missile compartment.
       The conferees expect the Navy to continue reviewing 
     production approaches for the Ohio Replacement Program to 
     achieve additional efficiencies. The conferees would be 
     willing to consider expanding multiyear production authority 
     if the Navy is able to demonstrate savings or greater 
     efficiencies could be achievable through such use.

     Furthermore, the Secretary of Defense would be prohibited 
     from obligating more than 75 percent of the funds made 
     available for the Office of the Secretary of Defense until 
     the Secretary of the Navy enters into a contract for the 
     modernization of four cruisers and one dock landing ship and 
     enters into a contract for the procurement of combat systems 
     upgrades associated with six such cruisers.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1011).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
     the retirement, preparation for retirement, inactivation, or 
     placement in storage of any Ticonderoga-class cruisers or 
     Whidbey Island-class amphibious ships, except to allow the 
     modernization and upgrades for those ships to continue in 
     accordance with section 1026 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113--291).

[[Page 15162]]

       The conferees continue to support a cruiser modernization 
     plan consistent with the ``2-4-6'' plan that allows the

     modernization period of up to four years with no more than

     Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the United States.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1032).

       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1026) that 
     would extend until December 31, 2017, 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 Libya, Somalia, 
     Syria, or Yemen.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1034).
       The Senate recedes.
     Prohibition on use of funds for realignment of forces at or 
         closure of United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, 
         Cuba. (sec. 1035)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1030) that 
     would extend until December 31, 2017, the prohibition on the 
     use of funds to close or abandon United States Naval Station, 
     Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to relinquish control of Guantanamo Bay 
     to the Republic of Cuba, or to implement a material 
     modification to the Treaty between the United States of 
     America and Cuba signed at Washington, D.C. on May 29, 1934, 
     that constructively closes United States Naval Station, 
     Guantanamo Bay.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1035).
       The Senate recedes.

     1072) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
     report to Congress on the impact of changes to the existing

     Agent Defense'' report to include reporting on any instance 
     where the Department provides biological select agents or 
     toxins to a non-Federal entity for development of biological 
     defenses. This amendment would supersede section 1080 of the 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 
     114-92).
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Protection of certain Federal spectrum operations (sec. 1044)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1045) that 
     would amend section 1004 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 
     (Public Law 114-74; 47 U.S.C. 921 note) by adding protections 
     of certain Federal spectrum operations.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Prohibition on use of funds for retirement of legacy maritime 
         mine countermeasures platforms (sec. 1045)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1012) that 
     would prohibit funds from being used to retire, prepare to 
     retire, transfer, or place in storage any Avenger-class mine 
     countermeasures ship, MH-53 Sea Dragon helicopter, or 
     associated equipment, as well as make any reductions to the 
     manning levels of any Avenger-class mine countermeasures ship

     Navy may waive this prohibition by making the prescribed 
     certification to the congressional defense committees.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1042).
       The House recedes.
     Extension of authority of Secretary of Transportation to 
         issue non-premium aviation insurance (sec. 1046)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1043) that 
     would amend Section 44310(b) of title 49, United States Code,

     of another U.S. Government agency.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Evaluation of Navy alternate combination cover and unisex 
         combination cover (sec. 1047)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1044) that 
     would change the Department of the Navy's mandatory wear date 
     of the alternate combination cover from October 31, 2016, to 
     October 31, 2020, and prohibit the Secretary of the Navy from 
     implementing any future changes or enforce any current 
     changes to female service dress uniforms until the Secretary 
     submits a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     Senate and House of Representatives on the evaluation of the 
     Navy female service dress uniform.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment that would 
     remove the prohibition on the Secretary of the Navy to make 
     changes to uniforms, lower the delayed implementation of 
     existing changes from five to three years, and add a 
     requirement for the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report 
     to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House 
     of Representatives no later than February 1, 2017, on the 
     survey results regarding the new covers or any other uniform 
     changes.
     Independent evaluation of Department of Defense excess 
         property program (sec. 1048)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1053) that 
     would amend section 2576a of title 10, United States Code to 
     modify the availability of defense items eligible for 
     transfer and notification requirements.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1049) that would amend section 2576a of title 10, United 
     States Code to modify the preference for certain purposes for 
     the transfer of excess Department of Defense equipment to 
     Federal and State agencies.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to enter into an agreement with a 
     federally funded research and development center, or another 
     independent entity, with relevant expertise to conduct an 
     evaluation of the Department of Defense excess property 
     program under section 2576a of title 10, United States Code.
       The conferees note that section 1051 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 
     114-92) required the Secretary of Defense to enter into an 
     agreement with a federally funded research and

[[Page 15163]]

     development center for the conduct of an assessment of the 
     excess property program, to include an evaluation of the 
     policies and controls governing the determination of the 
     suitability of recipients of controlled property transferred 
     under the program and an analysis of reported statistics on 
     controlled property transfers, and other related matters.
       The conferees intend for the evaluation required in this 
     Act to be part of an ongoing review of the Department of 
     Defense excess property program.
     Waiver of certain polygraph examination requirements (sec. 
         1049)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1097) that

       The Senate recedes.
     Use of transportation worker identification credential to 
         gain access at Department of Defense installations (sec. 
         1050)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1098) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, to the maximum extent 
     practicable, to ensure that the Transportation Worker 
     Identification Credential (TWIC) be accepted as a valid 
     credential for unescorted access to Department of Defense 
     installations by transportation workers. The provision would 
     also exempt TWIC-carrying transportation workers with a 
     current secret clearance issued by the Department of Defense 
     from further vetting when seeking unescorted access to 
     Department of Defense facilities provided that installation 
     access personnel shall verify the person's security clearance 
     in a timely manner. The provision would also require the 
     Secretary of Defense to document and report each instance 
     when a TWIC-carrying transportation worker is denied access 
     to a military installation in designated locations, together 
     with a reason for such denial, and the amount of time the 
     TWIC-carrying person was required to wait for access. The 
     report would be required not later than 90 days after 
     enactment of this Act and annually until the Department 
     completes fielding of Identity Management Enterprise Services 
     Architecture and electronic access control systems are 
     fielded.
       The Senate bill included no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that does not include 
     the reporting requirement in the House amendment.
     Limitation on availability of funds for destruction of 
         certain landmines and briefing on development of 
         replacement anti-personnel landmine munitions (sec. 1051)
       The House amendment contained a provision that would limit 
     the funds available for the destruction of anti-personnel 
     landmine munitions until the Secretary of Defense submits to 
     Congress a report on the assessment of the current state of 
     research into operational alternatives to anti-personnel 
     landmines.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     funds available for the destruction of anti-personnel 
     landmines until the Secretary of Defense submits to Congress 
     the report required by section 1058 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), 
     instead of a new report. The amendment would also require a 
     briefing on the current state of research and development 
     into operational alternatives to anti-personnel landmines.
     Transition of Air Force to operation of remotely piloted 
         aircraft by enlisted personnel (sec. 1052)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (Sec. 1046) that 
     would require the Air Force, by September 30, 2019, to 
     transition all remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) operations to 
     an organizational model that uses enlisted personnel for the 
     preponderance of RPA operators.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that changes 
     ``preponderance'' to ``a significant number of enlisted 
     personnel,'' changes the required transition date to 
     September 30, 2020, for the active duty component, and adds 
     September 30, 2023, as the required date for transition by 
     the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard. The amendment 
     also includes other minor technical corrections.
     Prohibition on divestment of Marine Corps Search and Rescue 
         Units (sec. 1053)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1047) that does 
     not authorize appropriated amounts to retire, prepare to 
     retire, transfer or place in storage any Marine Corps Search 
     and Rescue Unit or to make any changes to manning levels to 
     the same.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Support for the Associate Director of Central Intelligence 
         for Military Affairs (sec. 1054)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1049) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense and the Under Secretary 
     of Defense for Intelligence to ensure that the Associate 
     Director for Military Affairs of the Central Intelligence 
     Agency (ADMA) has access to, and support from, offices, 
     agencies, and programs of the Department necessary for the 
     ADMA to achieve its intended function.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with amendments that clarify that the 
     intent of the provision is to encourage effective use of the 
     position, and to remove a requirement that any officer 
     nominated to the position have significant interaction with 
     the CIA within the five years prior to appointment. The 
     conferees learned that such a requirement might impede--
     rather than encourage--nominees from outside of the special 
     operations community. Therefore, the conferees believe that 
     the relationship between the CIA and the Department's 
     conventional forces should be encouraged, especially given 
     the evolving and complex global threats faced by the United 
     States.
     Notification on the provision of defense sensitive support 
         (sec. 1055)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1052) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense, prior to the 
     provision of defense sensitive support to non-Department of 
     Defense departments and agencies, to determine and notify the 
     congressional defense committees that the support does not 
     interfere with the mission and functions of the Department, 
     or if it does so interfere, that it is in the national 
     security interest of the United States.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Prohibition on enforcement of military commission rulings 
         preventing members of the Armed Forces from carrying out 
         otherwise lawful duties based on member sex (sec. 1056)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 535) that would 
     prohibit a military commission established under chapter 47A 
     of title 10, United States Code, from acting by order, 
     ruling, finding, or otherwise that a member of the Armed 
     Forces may not perform duties otherwise lawfully assigned if 
     the prohibition is based solely on the gender of the 
     servicemember. The provision would also vacate any such order 
     issued before the date of enactment of this Act.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1039).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit any 
     order or other determination of a military commission that 
     would restrict a member of the Armed Forces from carrying out 
     otherwise lawfully assigned duties where the basis for such 
     prohibition or restriction is the sex of the member. Upon 
     enactment, the rule of prohibition established under this 
     provision would apply to a military commission upon a motion 
     to reconsider any such determination that was issued prior to 
     enactment of this Act.
     Congressional notification requirements for sensitive 
         military operations (sec. 1057)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1044) that 
     would amend section 130f in title 10, United States Code.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1036).
       The Senate recedes with clarifying amendment.

                    Subtitle F--Studies and Reports

     Temporary continuation of certain Department of Defense 
         reporting requirements (sec. 1061)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1082) that 
     would repeal the requirements for several reports that are 
     mandated by an annual National Defense Authorization Act and 
     by other public laws.
       The Senate bill also contained a provision (sec. 1083) that 
     would repeal several requirements for the Department of 
     Defense to provide reports that have been added by an annual 
     National Defense Authorization Act.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (1061) 
     that would repeal several reporting requirements as well.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would provide for 
     the repeal of those reporting requirements agreed to by both 
     the House and Senate as listed in the final bill.
     Reports on programs managed under alternative compensatory 
         control measures in the Department of Defense (sec. 1062)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1080) that 
     would require the Department of Defense (DOD) to provide 
     certain reports and notifications regarding programs that DOD 
     manages under alternative compensatory control measures 
     (ACCM).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The Department of Defense typically uses the ACCM system to 
     manage programs of lesser sensitivity or programs with a less 
     enduring life than the programs that it manages under special 
     access (SAP) program channels. The conferees believe that DOD 
     needs to provide more rigorous oversight of and reporting on 
     ACCM programs to the congressional defense committees. 
     Despite several directions from Congress to the DOD to 
     produce better information and inventories

[[Page 15164]]

     of these programs, DOD has failed to do so. Therefore, the 
     conferees see no alternative but to include legislation on 
     the matter, and note that failure to use and report ACCMs 
     accordingly will jeopardize future reauthorizations.
     Matters for inclusion in report on designation of countries 
         for which rewards may be paid under Department of Defense 
         rewards program (sec. 1063)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1062) that 
     would modify section 127b(h) of title 10, United States Code, 
     relating to the Department of Defense rewards program.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Annual reports on unfunded priorities of the Armed Forces and 
         the combatant commands and annual report on combatant 
         command requirements (sec. 1064)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1076) that 
     would require the Chief of Staff of the Army, Chief of Naval 
     Operations, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Commandant of 
     the Marine Corps, and commanders of the combatant commands 
     (COCOM) to submit to the Secretary of Defense, Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and congressional defense 
     committees a report on the unfunded priorities no later than 
     25 days after the date on which the President submits the 
     annual budget request.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment that would 
     change the due date for the report from 25 days to 10 days 
     after the budget request is submitted to Congress and amends 
     section 153(c)(1) of title 10, United States Code to require 
     the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to submit an annual 
     report on COCOM requirements no later than 25 days after the 
     date on which the President submits the budget request to 
     Congress.
       The conferees note that the COCOM commanders can satisfy 
     the requirement regarding unfunded priorities, as set forth 
     by this provision through their submission of the integrated 
     priority lists (IPL), provided that the IPLs contain 
     sufficient detail on the commands' requirements shortfalls 
     and any relevant or appropriate funding recommendations.
     Management and reviews of electromagnetic spectrum (sec. 
         1065)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1068) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff to conduct a comprehensive review of 
     all uses by the Department of Defense of spectrum.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 10 
     U.S.C. 488 by directing the Secretary of Defense to ensure 
     the effective organization and management of electromagnetic 
     spectrum used by the Department of Defense and establish an 
     enduring review process that considers all requirements 
     relating to such spectrum and ensures that all uses of such 
     spectrum, regardless of the classification of such uses, are 
     involved in the decision-making process of the Department 
     concerning the potential sharing, reassigning, or relocating 
     of such spectrum, of the relocation of the uses by the 
     Department of such spectrum.
     Requirement for notice and reporting to Committees on Armed 
         Services of certain expenditures of funds by Defense 
         Intelligence Agency (sec. 1066)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1081) that 
     would add the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives to a reporting requirement under 50 
     U.S.C. 3038(c) that allows the Defense Intelligence Agency to 
     use a percentage of its funds without regard to the 
     provisions of law or regulation relating to the expenditure 
     of U.S. government funds.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Congressional notification of biological select agent and 
         toxin theft, loss, or release involving the Department of 
         Defense (sec. 1067)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1063) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense to provide notification 
     to the congressional defense committees within 15 days of 
     notifying the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and/
     or the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of any 
     theft, loss, or release of biological select agents or 
     toxins.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Report on service-provided support and enabling capabilities 
         to United States special operations forces (sec. 1068)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1064) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than 180 days 
     after enactment of this Act on support contributed from each 
     of the military services towards special operations forces 
     for each of the fiscal years 2018 through 2020.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Report on citizen security responsibilities in the Northern 
         Triangle of Central America (sec. 1069)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1065) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     State to jointly submit a report to specified congressional 
     committees not later than 180 days after enactment of this 
     Act on the military units that have been assigned to policing 
     or citizen security responsibilities in the Republic of 
     Guatemala, the Republic of Honduras, and the Republic of El 
     Salvador.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Report on counterproliferation activities and programs (sec. 
         1070)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1066) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on the 
     counterproliferation activities and programs of the 
     Department of Defense.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

     single report no later than July 1, 2017.

     the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
     of Representatives, by not later than March 1, 2017, a report 
     clarifying the retirement and benefit eligibility status of 
     certain disabled veterans. The report will identify with 
     particularity any differences in the ``retired'' status, or 
     benefit eligibility status, for servicemembers who otherwise 
     meet the current statutory standards for disability 
     retirement, but who may not be retired owing to the timing of 
     the enactment of disability retirement changes, particularly 
     the enactment of sections 534 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-201) 
     and 513 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 1998 (Public Law 105-85) which redefined disability and 
     retirement eligibility under section 1204 of title 10, United 
     States Code. The conferees are aware that at least in some 
     cases, veterans may have been separated for disability who 
     now meet disability retirement eligibility.
       The report shall describe all available processes or 
     procedures by which a veteran who believes they should be 
     designated as ``retired'' may seek redesignation by appeal to 
     the boards for correction of military or naval records or 
     through some other process. Finally, the Secretary of Defense 
     will identify the number of individuals who may be eligible 
     for redesignation under the processes or procedures so 
     identified.
       The conferees are committed to ensuring every veteran is 
     afforded all the rights and benefits to which they are 
     entitled under the law, especially those who are disabled 
     with a service-connected, permanent disability.

     outweigh preventing the disclosure of such information.

     practices at the Office of Personnel Management. Coupled with 
     similar breeches occurring in the private sector that have 
     resulted in sensitive personal information, including credit 
     information and medical records, being released to unknown 
     parties, the conferees recognize that such breaches have the 
     potential to jeopardize both the financial security as well 
     as the physical security of these individuals. The conferees 
     urge the Department of Defense to continue to strengthen 
     ongoing initiatives and to develop and implement new 
     initiatives to protect the personally identifiable 
     information of members of the Armed Forces, government 
     civilians, and their families. Further, the conferees expect 
     the Department to keep

     of Representatives informed of any challenges associated with 
     these initiatives, as well as any trends related to 
     fraudulent or suspicious activity that targets the personally 
     identifiable information of members of the Armed Forces, 
     government civilians, and their families.

       The conferees note that as this authority would build on 
     programs like the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA), the 
     committee understands that the Department of Defense has 
     established procedures for monitoring and controlling 
     salaries and expenses for the IPA program, including a 
     limitation on salaries that may be paid or reimbursed for 
     IPAs, and expects that such constraints will be applied to 
     the pilot authorized by this provision.
     Temporary and term appointments in the competitive service in 
         the Department of Defense (sec. 1105)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1103) that 
     would allow non-competitive appointments to Department of 
     Defense temporary and term positions for no more than 18 
     months without the possibility of extension.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Direct-hire authority for the Department of Defense for post-
         secondary students and recent graduates (sec. 1106)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1106) that 
     would establish a Department of Defense (DoD) civilian on-
     campus recruiting authority under title 10 as an alternative 
     to the federal government-wide Pathways program (established 
     by Executive Order 13562) and other Title 5 hiring 
     authorities. This proposal would facilitate DoD recruiters' 
     efforts to recruit students directly to civilian positions 
     using a new hiring authority expressly designed for this 
     purpose. Hiring managers and recruiters, who already travel 
     to specific schools with programs they want to target, would 
     be able to involve candidates in a rigorous interview 
     process, and make conditional offers on the spot. This would 
     allow DoD to compete for highly qualified students and recent 
     graduates. This authority would be limited to no more than 15 
     percent of the total number of hires made into professional 
     and administrative occupations of the Department at the GS-11 
     level and below annually and would sunset four years after 
     the date on which the Secretary first appoints a recent 
     graduate or current post-secondary student to a position 
     under this section.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset the 
     provision on September 30, 2021 and require the Secretary of 
     Defense, to the extent practical, to provide public notice 
     and advertising of positions offered under this authority.

     Temporary increase in maximum amount of voluntary separation 
         incentive pay authorized for civilian employees of the 
         Department of Defense (sec. 1107)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1109) that 
     would increase the maximum amount of separation pay 
     authorized for Voluntary Separation Incentive Pay (VSIP) from 
     the current ceiling of $25,000 to $40,000 for civilian 
     employees of the Department of Defense. This increased 
     maximum amount would adjust for inflation from when VSIP was 
     first authorized for the Department of Defense in 1993. The 
     Chief Human Capital Officers Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296) 
     provided government-wide authority to provide VSIP. The 
     maximum payable amount has not been adjusted since VSIP was 
     first authorized.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset the 
     provision on September 30, 2018.

     hourly rate of basic pay for nonexempt Federal civilian 
     employees assigned to temporary duty travel in exempt areas 
     as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.
       The House amendment contains no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     authority to pay overtime to Department of the Navy employees 
     performing work aboard or dockside in support of the nuclear-
     powered aircraft carrier forward deployed in Japan through 
     September 30, 2018.
     Limitation on number of DOD SES positions (sec. 1109)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1112) that 
     would limit the number of employees at the Department of 
     Defense who are in the Senior Executive Service (SES). The 
     limitation in this provision would reduce by 25 percent the 
     number of covered SES employees of the Department, which were 
     employed on December 31, 2015. The reduction required by this 
     provision would be effective on January 1, 2019. Covered SES 
     employees would not include ``Highly Qualified Experts,'' 
     which the provision limits to 200. The limitation would not 
     apply to those employees of the Department who are appointed 
     by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
     number of senior executives authorized for the Department of 
     Defense to 1,260, and Highly Qualified Experts to 200.
     Direct hire authority for financial management experts into 
         the Department of Defense workforce (sec. 1110)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1105) that 
     would provide each secretary of a military department with 
     the authority to appoint qualified candidates possessing a 
     finance, accounting, management, or actuarial science degree 
     to financial management, accounting, auditing, and actuarial 
     positions within the Department of Defense workforce. The 
     authority would be limited to 10 percent of the total number 
     of finance, accounting, management, actuarial science, or 
     financial management positions within each military 
     department that are filled as of the close of the fiscal year 
     last ending before the start of such calendar year. The 
     authority would expire on January 1, 2023.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would include 
     within this direct appointment authority those possessing a 
     degree or related experience with business administration.
     Repeal of certain basis for appointment of a retired member 
         of the Armed Forces to Department of Defense position 
         within 180 days of retirement (sec. 1111)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1110) that 
     would amend section 3326 of title 5, United States Code, to 
     repeal subsection (b)(3) which allows the Secretary concerned 
     to waive the restriction on the appointment of retired 
     members of the armed forces to positions in the civil service 
     in the Department of Defense within 180 days of their 
     retirement based on a state of national emergency.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.

     would support efforts by the Defense Advanced Research 
     Projects Agency to attract, recruit, and employ world-class 
     scientific, technical, and engineering talent to manage and 
     oversee the innovative research and technology development 
     programs of the agency. The provision would make permanent

     preserve the agency's ability to compete with the private 
     sector for technical talent through flexibility in setting 
     compensation levels.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

     1106) that would expand the scope of the program to include 
     cyber operations personnel, and increase the number of 
     personnel that could be exchanged from 10 to 50.

     already provided to the directors of the Department's science 
     and technology laboratories.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1101) that would provide direct hire authority for Department 
     of Defense industrial base facilities located in the United 
     States, as well as the Major Range and Test Facilities Base.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to clarify and enhance 
     several aspects of the authorities.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     briefing to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees as 
     well as the House Committee on Oversight and Government

       The conferees remain concerned that the Department of

     into its civilian labor force due to strict preference 
     eligible hiring requirements, and believes that a detailed 
     examination of Department of Defense preference eligible 
     hiring practices is overdue. Therefore, the conferees direct 
     the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary 
     of Labor, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and the Director of 
     the Office of Personnel Management to submit a report no 
     later than May 1, 2017, to the Committees on Armed Services 
     of the Senate and House of Representatives, the Committee on 
     Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and 
     the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House 
     of Representatives. Such report shall consist of a 
     coordinated overview of the Veterans preference process in 
     Federal hiring and shall contain the following elements: (1) 
     an analysis of how the current process of applying preference 
     eligible points works in practice, including initial hires 
     and the process as employees move and advance into new 
     positions; (2) a review of positive impacts realized in the 
     past five years of preference eligible hiring; (3) an 
     analysis of the impact of preference eligible hiring on 
     agencies' ability to hire qualified non-veteran applicants; 
     (4) an analysis of the impact of preference eligible hiring 
     on agencies' ability to hire qualified non-veteran recent 
     graduates and young talent needed to build the future 
     workforce; (5) a review of challenges identified in the past 
     five years of preference eligible hiring; (6) an analysis of 
     the impact of preference eligible hiring on science, 
     technology, engineering and math positions; and (7) proposals 
     from the reviewing agencies to improve the current preference 
     eligible hiring process.

             Title XII--Matters Relating to Foreign Nations

                  Subtitle A--Assistance and Training

     One-year extension of logistical support for coalition forces 
         supporting certain United States military operations 
         (sec. 1201)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1201) that 
     would amend section 1234 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), 
     as most recently amended by section 1201 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 
     114-92), by authorizing the Secretary of Defense to provide 
     supplies, services, transportation, and other logistical 
     support to coalition forces supporting U.S. operations in the 
     Republic of Iraq and the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan 
     during fiscal year 2017.

     would increase the obligation authority for the Special 
     Defense Acquisition Fund.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.

     national security objectives.
       The amendment also requires that $500.0 million of the 
     Special Defense Acquisition Fund may only be used to procure 
     and stock precision guided munitions that may be required by 
     partner and allied forces to enhance the effectiveness of 
     their contribution to overseas contingency operations 
     conducted or supported by the United States. If necessary, 
     the conferees understand that nothing in this provision would 
     preclude the Secretary of Defense from using precision guided 
     munitions that have been procured and stocked using the 
     Special Defense Acquisition Fund to meet immediate United 
     States military requirements.
     Codification of authority for support of special operations 
         to combat terrorism (sec. 1203)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1203) that 
     would establish a new section 127e in title 10, United States 
     Code, to codify section 1208 of the Ronald W. Reagan National

     108-375), as most recently amended by section 1274 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92). The provision would increase the annual 
     cap on the authority from $85.0 million to $100.0 million and 
     would limit the amount available to support any particular 
     military operation under the authority to $10.0 million in a 
     fiscal year as well as modify notification requirements.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision that 
     would modify and extend section 1208 of Public Law 108-375, 
     as amended, for 3 years.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 
     the limitation of $10.0 million on support to any particular 
     military operation in a fiscal year and make other clarifying 
     changes to the reporting requirements associated with this 
     authority.
       The conferees express strong support for ``section 1208'' 
     authority and its importance in countering threats posed by 
     violent extremist groups. The conferees believe that the 
     maturity of the authority, the need for predictability when 
     working with foreign partner forces, and the enduring nature 
     of the threats facing our nation support the codification of 
     this authority. The conferees believe that an increase of the 
     annual cap to $100.0 million will provide for stability and 
     sufficient flexibility to address unforeseen contingencies in 
     future years.
       The conferees expect the Department to exercise judicious 
     use of the authority and conduct appropriate planning to 
     preserve the flexibility afforded by the codification and 
     expansion of this authority.
       Furthermore, the conferees expect the Department to 
     appropriately scope support provided under this authority to 
     address operational requirements in support of defined 
     counterterrorism missions. This authority should not be used 
     solely for the purpose of building the capacity of or 
     engagement with foreign partner forces. When operational 
     requirements no longer require the use of this tailored 
     authority, support for foreign partner forces should be 
     expeditiously terminated or transitioned to other authorities 
     and funding sources that are more appropriately designed for 
     longer-term, sustained capacity-building efforts.
     Independent evaluation of Strategic Framework for Department 
         of Defense security cooperation (sec. 1204)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1206) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into an 
     agreement with a federally funded research and development 
     center, or another appropriate independent entity, with 
     expertise in security cooperation to conduct an assessment of 
     the Strategic Framework for Department of Defense Security 
     Cooperation and submit a report to the congressional defense 
     committees, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, 
     and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
     Representatives not later than November 1, 2017, containing 
     the assessment.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Sense of Congress regarding an assessment, monitoring, and 
         evaluation framework for security cooperation (sec. 1205)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1207) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the Secretary of 
     Defense should develop and maintain an assessment, 
     monitoring, and evaluation framework for security cooperation 
     with foreign countries to ensure accountability and foster 
     implementation of best practices.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

        Subtitle B--Matters Relating to Afghanistan and Pakistan

     Extension and modification of Commanders' Emergency Response 
         Program (sec. 1211)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1201) that 
     would extend through fiscal year 2019 the Commanders' 
     Emergency Response Program (CERP) in Afghanistan under 
     section 1201 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) as amended. The 
     provision would also expand the authorization to make certain 
     payments to redress injury and loss in Iraq in accordance 
     with section 1211 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2016 to Afghanistan and Syria.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1211).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Extension of authority to acquire products and services 
         produced in countries along a major route of supply to 
         Afghanistan (sec. 1212)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 883) that would 
     amend section 801(f) of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) to extend by 2 
     years the authority to acquire products and services produced 
     in countries along the major route of supply to Afghanistan.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1213) that would extend the authority by 1 year.
       The House recedes.
     Extension and modification of authority to transfer defense 
         articles and provide defense services to the military and 
         security forces of Afghanistan (sec. 1213)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1211) that 
     would extend through December 31, 2017, the authority under 
     section 1222 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to transfer defense 
     articles being drawn down in Afghanistan, and to provide 
     defense services in connection with such transfers, to the 
     military and security forces of Afghanistan. The provision 
     would also extend through fiscal year 2017 the exemption for 
     excess defense articles (EDA) transferred from Department of 
     Defense stocks in Afghanistan from counting toward the annual 
     limitation on the aggregate value of EDA transferred under 
     section 516 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (Public Law 
     87-195). The provision would also convert certain quarterly 
     reports into an annual report.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1241).
       The House recedes.
     Special immigrant status for certain Afghans (sec. 1214)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1216) that 
     would extend the authorization for the Afghan Special 
     Immigrant Visa (SIV) program for one year and narrow the 
     eligibility requirements for Afghan SIV candidates.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment that would 
     modify eligibility requirements for applicants to include 
     those that perform sensitive and trusted activities for the 
     United States Government in Afghanistan; extend the 
     underlying SIV program for four additional years; and provide 
     an additional 1,500 visas. The conferees believe that any 
     Afghan performing sensitive and trusted activities for or on 
     the behalf of the United States Government should be eligible 
     for the Special Immigrant Visa program.
     Modification to semiannual report on enhancing security and 
         stability in Afghanistan (sec. 1215)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1217) that 
     would add the requirement for an assessment of the 
     implementation of the Afghan Personnel and Pay System to the 
     report on enhancing the strategic partnership between the 
     United States and Afghanistan.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

     Prohibition on use of funds for certain programs and projects 
         of the Department of Defense in Afghanistan that cannot 
         be safely accessed by United States Government personnel 
         (sec. 1216)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1213) that 
     would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of amounts 
     available to the Department of Defense for a construction or 
     other infrastructure program or project in Afghanistan unless 
     certain conditions are met. The provision also provides for 
     certain waivers.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would provide for 
     an additional waiver by the Commander of the Combined 
     Security Transition Command--Afghanistan for projects greater 
     than $1.0 million, but less than $20.0 million.
     Improvement of oversight of United States Government efforts 
         in Afghanistan (sec. 1217)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1215) that 
     would require the Lead Inspector General for Operation 
     Freedom's Sentinel, in coordination with certain other 
     inspectors general, to submit a report on oversight 
     activities in Afghanistan to optimize the utilization of 
     oversight resources through planning, coordination, and 
     reduction of redundancies in oversight activities.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would add the 
     requirement to report on the professional standards used by 
     inspectors general to ensure the accuracy, precision, and 
     overall quality of the products they publish regarding 
     Afghanistan.
       The conferees note that inspectors general play a crucial 
     role in helping to ensure appropriate oversight and efficient 
     use of federal resources in challenging environments, 
     including Afghanistan. The conferees believe the Inspectors 
     General operating in Afghanistan should work together to 
     ensure appropriate oversight occurs at all levels, with 
     minimal burden to U.S. military operations, diplomatic 
     efforts and developmental projects. The conferees urge 
     additional efforts to optimize coordination and to maximize 
     the use of professional standards among inspectors general in 
     Afghanistan to ensure the most efficient and effective use of 
     oversight resources.
     Extension and modification of authority for reimbursement of 
         certain coalition nations for support provided to United 
         States military operations (sec. 1218)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1214) that 
     would provide the Secretary of Defense the authority to 
     reimburse Pakistan up to $800.0 million in fiscal year 2017 
     for certain activities that enhance the security situation in 
     the northwest regions of Pakistan and along the Afghanistan-
     Pakistan border. The provision would also make $300.0 million 
     of this amount contingent upon a certification from the 
     Secretary of Defense that Pakistan is taking demonstrable 
     steps against the Haqqani Network in Pakistan. The Senate 
     bill also contained a companion provision (sec. 1212) that 
     would extend and modify the authority for reimbursement of 
     coalition nations in support of U.S. operations in Iraq and 
     Afghanistan to include Syria.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1212) that would extend the authority for reimbursement of 
     coalition nations for support provided to the United States 
     for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan through 
     December 31, 2017. The provision would make $1.1 billion in 
     funding available for the overall coalition support funds 
     program, including up to $900.0 million for reimbursement of 
     Pakistan. The provision would also make $450.0 million of 
     this amount contingent upon a certification from the 
     Secretary of Defense that Pakistan is taking demonstrable 
     steps against the Haqqani Network in Pakistan.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to merge the three 
     provisions into one provision. The revised provision would 
     extend the authorization of the coalition support funds 
     program for reimbursement of nations in support of U.S. 
     operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The provision would 
     expand the authorization to include support for operations in 
     Syria and would retain the authority to provide such 
     reimbursement to Pakistan. In addition, the provision would 
     include a modified list of security enhancement activities 
     for which Pakistan would be eligible for reimbursement.
       The provision authorizes $1.1 billion for the overall 
     coalition support funds program, including up to $900.0 
     million for Pakistan. Of this amount, the provision would 
     make $400.0 million contingent upon a certification from the 
     Secretary of Defense that Pakistan is taking demonstrable 
     steps against the Haqqani Network in Pakistani territory.
       The conferees remain concerned about the persecution of 
     groups seeking political or religious freedom in Pakistan, 
     including the Balochi, Sindhi, and Hazara ethnic groups, as 
     well as religious groups, including Christian, Hindu, and 
     Ahmadiyya Muslim. Consequently, the conferees believe that 
     the Secretary of Defense should continue to closely monitor 
     the provision of U.S. security assistance to Pakistan and 
     ensure that Pakistan is not using its military or any 
     assistance provided by the United States to persecute 
     minority groups.
       In addition, the conferees note that the renewed authority 
     allows for reimbursement of Pakistan for security activities 
     along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, including providing 
     training and equipment for the Pakistan Frontier Corps Khyber 
     Pakhtunkhwa. However, the conferees are concerned that 
     Pakistan continues to delay or deny visas for U.S. personnel 
     that could assist with the provision of such training. Given 
     this situation, the conferees recommend that the Department 
     of Defense condition reimbursements for training and 
     equipment with appropriate access by U.S. personnel.
       The conferees note that while the pilot program for 
     stability activities in the Federally Administered Tribal 
     Areas that was authorized under Section 1212 of the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (P.L.114-92) 
     would not be specifically reauthorized by this provision, the 
     activities covered by the pilot program would be eligible for 
     reimbursement under the modifications made by this provision. 
     The conferees also note that coalition support funds 
     appropriated by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 
     (P.L.114-113) remain eligible for obligation for two fiscal 
     years. As a result, the conferees expect that the Department 
     of Defense will continue activities under the pilot program 
     through the end of fiscal year 2017.

         Subtitle C--Matters Relating to Syria, Iraq, and Iran

     Modification and extension of authority to provide assistance 
         to the vetted Syrian opposition (sec. 1221)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1221) that 
     would extend and modify the authority under section 1209 of 
     the Carl Levin and Howard P. `Buck' McKeon National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 
     128 Stat. 3541) to assist the vetted elements of the Syrian 
     opposition for certain purposes to December 31, 2019, as well 
     as strike the prior approval reprogramming requirement and 
     replace it with a notification requirement before carrying 
     out new initiatives.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1221) that would extend the authority for one year and add 
     certain certification requirements.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     authority through December 31, 2018, maintain the 
     reprogramming requirement, and strike the certification 
     requirements.
     Modification and extension of authority to provide assistance 
         to counter the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (sec. 
         1222)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1222) that 
     would extend the authority under section 1236 of the Carl 
     Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 
     128 Stat. 3559) to military and other security forces of or 
     associated with the Government of Iraq, including Kurdish and 
     tribal security forces, with a national mission, to counter 
     the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) to December 
     31, 2019.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1222) that would extend the authority to December 31, 2017.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     authority through December 31, 2018.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense in 
     coordination with the Secretary of State to brief the 
     congressional defense committees, the Senate Foreign 
     Relations Committee, and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, 
     not later than 90 days after the enactment of this Act, on 
     the campaign to liberate Mosul, Iraq from the control of 
     ISIL. The briefing on the campaign to liberate Mosul shall 
     also contain the plan to hold Mosul after liberation and 
     include a detailed blueprint on how humanitarian, 
     reconstruction, and stabilization assistance will be provided 
     to support a follow on governance structure.
       The conferees note the importance of the provision of up to 
     $480 million in stipends and sustainment through the 
     Government of Iraq to the Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga and urge 
     the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary 
     of State, to provide such assistance through the Government 
     of Iraq to Sunni tribal security forces and other local 
     security forces with a national security mission. The 
     conferees remind the Secretaries that local security forces 
     with a national security mission may include, in addition to 
     Sunni tribal elements, local security forces that are 
     committed to protecting highly vulnerable ethnic and 
     religious communities, such as Yazidi, Christian, Assyrian, 
     and Turkoman communities, against the ISIL threat.
     Extension and modification of authority to support operations 
         and activities of the Office of Security Cooperation in 
         Iraq (sec. 1223)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1223) that 
     would extend through fiscal year 2017 the authority under 
     section 1215 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) as amended, for the 
     Secretary of Defense to support the operations and activities 
     of the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq (OSC-I).

[[Page 15174]]

       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1223) that would extend the authority for OSC-I for one year 
     through fiscal year 2017 and authorize the Secretary of 
     Defense to conduct training with the Iraqi Border Police.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     authority through fiscal year 2017.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense and the 
     Secretary of State to submit to the congressional defense 
     committees, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and the 
     House Foreign Affairs Committee, a plan to transition the 
     activities conducted by OSC-I but funded by the Department of 
     Defense to another entity or transition the funding of such 
     activities to another source not later than the end of fiscal 
     year 2018.
     Limitation on provision of man-portable air defense systems 
         to the vetted Syrian opposition during fiscal year 2017 
         (sec. 1224)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1229) that 
     would prohibit the funds authorized to be appropriated or 
     otherwise made available for the Department of Defense for 
     fiscal year 2017 to be obligated or expended to transfer or 
     facilitate the transfer of man-portable air defense systems 
     (MANPADs) to any entity in Syria.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State to notify the 
     congressional defense committees, the Senate Foreign 
     Relations Committee, and the House Foreign Affairs Committee 
     should a determination be made to provide MANPADs to elements 
     of the appropriately vetted Syrian opposition. The conferees 
     expect that should such a determination be made, the 
     requirement for the provision of such a capability and the 
     decision to provide it would be thoroughly vetted by and 
     receive broad support from the interagency.
     Modification of annual report on military power of Iran (sec. 
         1225)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1226) that 
     would add additional elements concerning cyber capabilities 
     to the annual report on the military power of Iran required 
     under section 1245 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84).
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1253).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Quarterly report on confirmed ballistic missile launches from 
         Iran (sec. 1226)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1259S) that 
     would require the President to notify Congress within 48 
     hours of a suspected ballistic missile launch, including a 
     test, by Iran. The President shall further notify Congress of 
     the entities involved in the launch and a description of the 
     steps the President will take in response to the launch, 
     including diplomatic efforts and the imposition of unilateral 
     sanctions.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would replace the 
     house provision with the requirement for a quarterly report 
     to Congress by the Director of National Intelligence 
     describing any confirmed ballistic missile launches by Iran. 
     An additional quarterly report to Congress from the Secretary 
     of State and the Secretary of Treasury is required setting 
     forth a description of the efforts, if any, to impose 
     unilateral sanctions against entities or individuals in 
     connection with a confirmed ballistic missile launch from 
     Iran and any diplomatic efforts to impose multilateral 
     sanctions.

         Subtitle D--Matters Relating to the Russian Federation

     Military response options to Russian Federation violation of 
         INF Treaty (sec. 1231)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1232) that 
     would withhold $10.0 million of funding for the Department of 
     Defense to provide support services to the Executive Office 
     of the President until the Secretary of Defense submits to 
     the appropriate congressional committees a plan for the 
     development of military capabilities in response to the 
     Russian Federation non-compliance with its obligations under 
     the INF Treaty, as required by section 1243(d) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92; 129 Stat. 1062).
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would drop 
     section (a)(1) from the House provision. The conferees note 
     that the plan contained in the report previously submitted to 
     Congress, pursuant to the above Public Law, was insufficient 
     and failed to address adequately the military response 
     options that were outlined in congressional testimony 
     presented by Mr. Brian McKeon, Deputy Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Policy. For example, in testimony to the House 
     Armed Services Committee on December 10, 2014, Mr. McKeon 
     stated: ``The range of options we are looking at in the 
     military sphere fall into three broad categories: Active 
     defenses to counter intermediate-range ground-launched cruise 
     missiles; counterforce capabilities to prevent intermediate-
     range ground-launched cruise missile attacks; and 
     countervailing strike capabilities to enhance U.S. or allied 
     forces.'' The conferees note that nothing in this provision 
     is intended to direct testing or deployment of systems that 
     would cause the United States to violate the INF Treaty.
     Limitation on military cooperation between the United States 
         and the Russian Federation (sec. 1232)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1233) that 
     would prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated or 
     otherwise made available by this Act through fiscal year 2017 
     from being used for bilateral military-to-military contact 
     between the United States and the Russian Federation without 
     certain certifications by the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of State, or unless certain 
     waiver conditions are met.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Extension and modification of authority on training for 
         Eastern European national military forces in the course 
         of multilateral exercises (sec. 1233)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1232) that 
     would extend through fiscal year 2019 the authority under 
     section 1251 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) for the Secretary of 
     Defense to provide multilateral or regional training, and pay 
     the incremental expenses of participating in such training, 
     for countries in Eastern Europe that are a signatory to the 
     Partnership for Peace Framework Documents but not a member of 
     the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or became a 
     NATO member after January 1, 1999. The provision would also 
     add the authority to utilize under this section amounts 
     authorized to be appropriated for certain purposes under the 
     European Deterrence Initiative.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     authority through fiscal year 2018 and pay the incremental 
     expenses incurred by a country as a result of national 
     security forces participation in certain types of training. 
     The conferees note that the purpose of such training is to 
     promote interoperability, improve the ability of 
     participating countries to respond to external threats 
     including from hybrid warfare, and increase the ability of 
     NATO to take collective action when required.
       The conferees note the importance of regular updates on the 
     status and effectiveness of the implementation and planned 
     use of the authority and direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     brief, not later than 120 days after the enactment of this 
     Act, the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives on the overall strategy to increase 
     capabilities and develop key participants' skills under this 
     authority, the expenditure of funds under this authority to 
     date, and planned future activities, including the types of 
     national security forces trained or planned to be trained 
     under this authority.
     Prohibition on availability of funds relating to sovereignty 
         of the Russian Federation over Crimea (sec. 1234)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1236) that 
     would prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated or made 
     available by this Act through fiscal year 2017 for the 
     Department of Defense to implement any activity that 
     recognizes the sovereignty of the Russian Federation over 
     Crimea. The provision included a waiver if the Secretary of 
     Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, 
     determines that to do so would be in the national security 
     interest of the United States and submits a notification of 
     the waiver to certain Congressional committees.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Annual report on military and security developments involving 
         the Russian Federation (sec. 1235)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1233) that 
     would add additional elements to the annual report on Russian 
     military and security developments required under section 
     1245 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 
     113-291) including an assessment of Russian operations in 
     Ukraine and an analysis of the nuclear strategy and 
     associated doctrine of Russia.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision that 
     would require reporting on the Russian Federation's foreign 
     military deployments.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would add the 
     Russian Federation's foreign military deployments, including 
     significant deployments of naval vessels to foreign 
     countries, to the annual report.

     Limitation on use of funds to vote to approve or otherwise 
         adopt any implementing decision of the Open Skies 
         Consultative Commission and related requirements (sec. 
         1236)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1079) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     appropriate committees of Congress, an annual report on 
     observation flights over the United States under the Open 
     Skies Treaty during the previous year.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1231) that would limit funds that may be used to approve or 
     permit approval of a request by the Russian Federation to 
     carry out observation flights with an aircraft that has 
     installed an upgraded sensor with infrared or synthetic 
     aperture radar capability over the United States or the 
     territory covered in the Open Skies Treaty, unless the 
     administration can certify certain conditions.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit 
     funding that may be used to vote to approve or otherwise 
     adopt any implementing decision of the Open Skies 
     Consultative Commission to authorize approval of requests by 
     state parties to the Treaty of infrared or synthetic aperture 
     radars, pursuant to the Open Skies Treaty, unless and until 
     the Secretary of Defense, jointly with the relevant U.S. 
     government officials, submits to the appropriate 
     congressional committees a certification that such 
     implementing decision would not be detrimental or otherwise 
     harmful to the national security of the United States, and 
     submits a report.
       Further, not later than 90 days prior to when the U.S. 
     votes to approve or otherwise adopt any implementing 
     decision, the Secretary of State shall submit to Congress 
     certain certifications. If the Secretary is unable to make 
     these certifications, the Secretary must submit a report to 
     Congress explaining why it is in the national interest of the 
     U.S. to vote to approve or otherwise adopt such implementing 
     decision.
       The amendment also requires a quarterly report by certain 
     government officials evaluating Open Skies Treaty overflights 
     of the United States by the Russian Federation.
       The amendment further states that not more than 65-percent 
     of the funds authorized for fiscal year 2017 may be used to 
     carry out any activities to implement the Open Skies Treaty 
     until the Director of National Intelligence and the Director 
     of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency submit an 
     evaluation of whether it is possible, consistent with U.S. 
     national security interests, to substitute commercial imagery 
     or other phenomenologies for such data generated by Treaty 
     overflights. The amendment further limits the funding until 
     the Secretary of State submits a report on cost of 
     implementing the Open Skies Treaty and on impact on 
     participation and contributions by covered state parties and 
     relationships among covered state parties.
     Extension and enhancement of Ukraine Security Assistance 
         Initiative (sec. 1237)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1231) that 
     would extend through fiscal year 2019 the authority under 
     section 1250 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) for the Secretary of 
     Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, to 
     provide security assistance and intelligence support to 
     military and other security forces of the government of 
     Ukraine. The provision would authorize the use of up to 
     $500.0 million in fiscal year 2017 to provide security 
     assistance to Ukraine. The provision would prohibit the 
     obligation or expenditure of half of the funds authorized to 
     be appropriated in fiscal year 2017 under this authority 
     until the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
     Secretary of State, certifies that Ukraine has taken 
     substantial action to make defense institutional reforms and 
     outlines areas where further work may remain.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1235) that would make conforming changes of a non-substantive 
     nature to section 1250 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     authority through December 31, 2018, and authorize the use of 
     up to $350 million in fiscal year 2017 to provide security 
     assistance to Ukraine. The provision would limit the 
     obligation or expenditure of funds to $175 million of the 
     funds authorized to be appropriated in fiscal year 2017 until 
     a certification is made that Ukraine has taken substantial 
     action on defense institutional reforms.
       The conferees remain deeply concerned by the continuing 
     aggression of Russia and Russian-backed separatists that 
     violate ceasefire agreements and as such, continue to 
     emphasize the fundamental importance of providing security 
     assistance and intelligence support, including lethal 
     military assistance, to the Government of Ukraine to build 
     its capacity to defend its territory and sovereignty.
       The conferees are concerned that progress in the area of 
     defense institutional reform has been slow and uneven and 
     note that such reforms are critical to sustaining 
     capabilities developed using security assistance. Such 
     reforms are critical to the long-term stability and security 
     of Ukraine. The conferees welcome the signing of the Partner 
     Concept document between the United States and Ukraine as 
     well as the appointment of a senior advisor to the Ukrainian 
     government and encourage further progress on institutional 
     reform efforts.

    Subtitle E--Reform of Department of Defense Security Cooperation

     Enactment of new chapter for defense security cooperation 
         (sec. 1241)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1252) that 
     would create a new chapter in title 10, United States Code, 
     on security cooperation, and would transfer, modify, and 
     codify security cooperation-related provisions from elsewhere 
     in title 10 and public law to this new chapter.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1261).
       The House recedes with amendments that would make several 
     modifications, including to: 1) narrow the scope of the 
     authority for the Department to provide assistance to build 
     the capacity of a friendly foreign nation to conduct 
     specified military operations, modify the availability of 
     funds for such purposes, and change notification 
     requirements; 2) preserve the existing authority for the 
     Department of Defense (DOD) to operate five Regional Centers 
     for Security Studies; 3) require the Secretary of Defense to 
     designate an individual and office at the Under Secretary of 
     Defense-level or below with responsibility for oversight of 
     strategic policy and guidance and responsibility for overall 
     resource allocation for security cooperation programs and 
     activities of the Department; and 4) authorize the Department 
     to provide support to other departments and agencies of the 
     United States Government for the purpose of implementing or 
     supporting foreign assistance programs and activities that 
     advance security cooperation objectives.
       The conferees note that over the last 15 years, the 
     Department of Defense's engagement with national security 
     forces of friendly foreign countries has expanded in response 
     to changing strategic requirements. Correspondingly, the 
     number and complexity of authorities and associated funding 
     provided to the Department to conduct security cooperation 
     programs has expanded, resulting in security cooperation 
     authorities being dispersed throughout title 10 and public 
     law. This architecture has led to a confusing and unwieldy 
     security cooperation enterprise that undermines the ability 
     of the Department--particularly its senior civilian and 
     military leaders--to prioritize, plan, synchronize, execute, 
     allocate resources, and oversee activities. The current 
     situation has also resulted in frequent changes for the 
     security cooperation professionals attempting to implement 
     security cooperation programs and activities. This has 
     contributed to suboptimal outcomes and missed opportunities. 
     Further, the conferees believe the complex patchwork of 
     authorities and sources of funding hinders appropriate 
     congressional and public transparency and complicates robust 
     congressional oversight of a key mission for the Department.
       As such, the conferees believe that consolidating the 
     various security cooperation authorities under a single 
     security cooperation chapter in title 10 will provide greater 
     clarity and consistency about the nature and scope of DOD's 
     security cooperation programs and activities to those who 
     plan, manage, implement, and conduct oversight of these 
     programs. The conferees note that the functional areas in 
     which the Department is authorized to provide assistance 
     under this provision are consistent with existing focus areas 
     of the Department's `train and equip' programs. The conferees 
     also note that authority to provide assistance to build the 
     capacity of friendly foreign countries to conduct military 
     intelligence operations already exists, because the 
     Department's existing authorities include support functions, 
     and intelligence operations frequently act in that capacity. 
     The inclusion of intelligence operations is intended solely 
     to clarify that the Department may conduct such activities 
     either as a supporting activity for other operations or as a 
     stand-alone operation, and it is not meant to suggest that 
     other activities that support or enable programs providing 
     training and equipment to foreign forces (such as logistics 
     or communications activities) are not permitted under 
     existing authorities.
       Additionally, for the purposes of executing programs and 
     activities in the new security cooperation chapter in title 
     10, funds available to DOD for security cooperation may be 
     used prior to the submission of a consolidated security 
     cooperation budget as required by section 1249 of this 
     subtitle.
       Moreover, consolidation of a single `train and equip' 
     authority will ensure that the Department has flexibility to 
     meet its evolving strategic objectives, without being forced 
     to bend its strategy to meet the contours of available 
     tailored authorities. The conferees do not intend for the 
     consolidation to create a DOD mission that competes with 
     security assistance overseen by the Department of State. 
     Rather, a consolidated `train and equip' authority should 
     enable the Department to meet its own defense-specific 
     objectives in support of broader defense strategy and plans, 
     as well as to better integrate title

[[Page 15176]]

     10 security cooperation activities into the broader United 
     States Government approach to security sector assistance. To 
     that end, the conferees note that the provision would 
     increase coordination between the Department of Defense and 
     the Department of State in the planning and implementation of 
     security sector assistance programs by requiring the 
     Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State to jointly 
     develop and plan `train and equip' programs as well as to 
     coordinate the implementation of such programs and ensure 
     robust end-use monitoring of provided assistance. The 
     conferees believe that the Department of Defense and the 
     Department of State should have greater visibility into the 
     planning, programming, and execution of each organization's 
     security sector assistance programs and activities and urge 
     both Departments to enhance visibility and collaboration on 
     such programs early in the planning process and through 
     execution so as to avoid unnecessary duplication and enhance 
     overall unity of effort.
       Additionally, the conferees are concerned that the existing 
     process for coordination between the two Departments on 
     security sector assistance programs is too ad-hoc in nature 
     and often elevates responsibility for such coordination, 
     particularly those activities requiring concurrence, to the 
     senior-most echelons of the respective organizations--to 
     include the Deputy Secretary or Secretary level--resulting in 
     a cumbersome and time-intensive process. Therefore, the 
     provision would require the Secretary of Defense and the 
     Secretary of State to designate individuals at the lowest 
     possible level in their respective organizations with 
     responsibility for such coordination.
       The conferees note that the Department's security 
     cooperation activities over the last 15 years have emphasized 
     building the capacity of partner forces at the tactical and 
     operational level. However, the conferees are concerned that 
     insufficient attention and resources have been provided for 
     building institutional capacity at higher echelons, 
     particularly the generating force (e.g. those with `man, 
     train, and equip' responsibilities) and at the strategic 
     level (e.g. ministerial and general staff levels). The 
     conferees expect the Department to increase its emphasis on 
     strengthening the defense institutions of friendly foreign 
     nations as it builds security cooperation programs and 
     activities and expects proposals submitted to Congress to 
     include a robust defense institution building component. 
     Moreover, the conferees expect the Department to take 
     advantage of the simplified framework of security cooperation 
     authorities adopted in this section to develop security 
     cooperation programs that integrate activities to 
     simultaneously engage partners and build capacity at each of 
     these levels--tactical, operational, and strategic.
       Additionally, the conferees note the importance of 
     sustaining capabilities provided to friendly foreign nations, 
     particularly equipment, to the long-term success of DOD's 
     security cooperation programs and activities. As such, the 
     conferees expect that there is a plan to transition 
     sustainment support from DOD to other sources of funding, 
     such as foreign countries' national funds, will be part of 
     each security cooperation program.
       In addition to the cumbersome, confusing, and complex 
     patchwork of authorities and funding sources, the 
     Department's organizational structure for the security 
     cooperation enterprise has undermined the ability of senior 
     Department officials to adequately oversee, prioritize, and 
     synchronize security cooperation programs and activities to 
     support strategic priorities. Currently, there is no 
     individual or office below the Deputy Secretary of Defense 
     with responsibility to oversee strategic policy and resource 
     allocation for the security cooperation enterprise. Instead, 
     such responsibility spans multiple components and offices at 
     the level of Under Secretary. Therefore, the provision would 
     require the Secretary to assign responsibility for the 
     oversight of strategic policy and guidance and responsibility 
     for overall resource allocation for security cooperation 
     programs and activities of the Department of Defense to a 
     single official and office in the Office of the Secretary of 
     Defense at the level of Under Secretary or below. The 
     conferees intend for this individual and office to better 
     synchronize planning and programs across the regional and 
     functional components of the Department and ensure that such 
     activities and resources are appropriately aligned with 
     strategic priorities. Further, the conferees expect that this 
     arrangement will empower the Department to prioritize 
     resources and consider trade-offs across the full range of 
     security cooperation programs and funding sources. 
     Additionally, the provision would assign responsibility for 
     the execution and administration of all security cooperation 
     programs and activities of the Department of Defense 
     involving the provision of defense articles, military 
     training, and other defense-related services by grant, loan, 
     cash sale, or lease to the Director of the Defense Security 
     Cooperation Agency. This assignment of responsibility is 
     meant to help the Department overcome the distortions, lack 
     of coordination, and duplication that occurs across the 
     Department's security cooperation enterprise, arising from 
     narrowly-focused program offices found throughout the Office 
     of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, Military 
     Departments, Combatant Commands, and the defense agencies.
       The provision would preserve the five Department of Defense 
     Regional Centers for Security Studies. The provision would 
     also require the Secretary to review, on an annual basis, the 
     program and structure of each Regional Center in order to 
     ensure that they are appropriately aligned with the strategic 
     priorities of the Department. The conferees intend for the 
     Regional Centers to more closely align activities with the 
     requirements of DOD, and to serve as an effective tool to 
     advance clearly defined security cooperation objectives in 
     direct support of defense strategy.
       The conferees note that, despite the marked increase in DOD 
     security cooperation programs and activities over the last 15 
     years, the Department has not applied sufficient emphasis and 
     resources to develop a comprehensive framework to assess, 
     monitor, and evaluate its security cooperation programs and 
     activities from inception to completion. Instead, the 
     conferees believe that the Department has focused on 
     assessments of partner nation capability gaps at the 
     beginning of assistance programs rather than over the life 
     cycle of the program, which has undermined the Department's 
     ability to measure outcomes against objectives. Sufficient 
     attention must be given to the implementation of programs 
     with continuous robust evaluation to gauge whether programs 
     and activities are meeting or have met defined objectives. 
     The conferees expect the Department to allocate sufficient 
     resources to its assessment, monitoring, and evaluation 
     program, and to apply lessons learned from the program to 
     improve and reshape security cooperation programs and 
     activities to maximize effectiveness and efficiency.
       Further, in this context, the conferees believe the 
     Department's security cooperation data systems should provide 
     an enterprise-wide view of security cooperation activities to 
     facilitate best practices and enable strategic decision-
     making. In addition to basic data about security cooperation 
     programs, the system should support the distribution of 
     lessons-learned, including the activities' goals and history 
     of development, and inform future activities and resource 
     allocation. The conferees note the current limitations of the 
     Global Theater Security Cooperation Management information 
     Systems (G-TSCMIS) program and encourage the Department to 
     review the use and functionality of G-TSCMIS at all user 
     levels. The Department should further consider measures to 
     promote more wide-spread and regular use of G-TSCMIS and 
     ensure that processes and system functionality appropriately 
     collects, stores, integrates, and distributes information 
     Department-wide.
     Military-to-military exchanges (sec. 1242)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1253) that 
     would combine existing security cooperation authorities 
     permitting the exchange of military and defense personnel 
     with allies of the United States and other friendly foreign 
     countries.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
       The conferees encourage the Department to make more 
     effective use of exchanges of military and defense personnel 
     as important elements of broader security cooperation 
     efforts, particularly with regard to building partner 
     operational capacity or strengthening the management 
     functions of partner defense institutions. Such exchanges 
     offer opportunities for U.S. military and civilian personnel 
     to mentor foreign counterparts, share relevant operational 
     concepts, and assess how well previous assistance has been 
     employed and sustained. Meanwhile, foreign exchange officers 
     can obtain valuable on-the-job training working among their 
     U.S. counterparts and improve their understanding of U.S. 
     military organizations and operations, contributing to deeper 
     interoperability. Such exchanges should be planned with these 
     advantages in mind, in integration with other security 
     cooperation activities and authorities.
     Consolidation and revision of authorities for payment of 
         personnel expenses necessary for theater security 
         cooperation (sec. 1243)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1254) that 
     would consolidate and modify similar authorities permitting 
     the payment of personnel expenses of allied or partner 
     countries during theater security cooperation activities.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Transfer and revision of certain authorities on payment of 
         expenses of training and exercises with friendly foreign 
         forces (sec. 1244)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1255) that 
     would combine and modify similar authorities for paying for 
     the expenses of partner nations when conducting training with 
     U.S. Armed Forces and for the expenses of developing 
     countries when participating in exercises.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1202) that would extend the

[[Page 15177]]

     authority in section 1203 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) 
     for training of general purpose forces of the United States 
     Armed Forces with military and other security forces of 
     friendly foreign countries to December 31, 2019.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would combine and 
     modify similar authorities for paying for the expenses of 
     partner nations when conducting training with U.S. Armed 
     Forces and for the expenses of developing countries when 
     participating in exercises. The provision would also transfer 
     section 2011 of title 10, United States Code to the new 
     chapter 16 on security cooperation created elsewhere in this 
     Act.
       The conferees note that the transfer of section 2011 of 
     title 10, United States Code to the new chapter 16 is part of 
     a broader effort to consolidate and simplify authorities 
     related to security cooperation. The conferees do not intend 
     for this transfer to negatively impact administration of 
     Special Operations Forces Joint Combined Exchange and 
     Training Program by the Commander, United States Special 
     Operations Command, which remains a standalone authority 
     within the new chapter.
     Transfer and revision of authority to provide operational 
         support to forces of friendly foreign countries (sec. 
         1245)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1256) that 
     would consolidate and modify section 127d of title 10, United 
     States Code, section 1207 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), 
     and section 1234 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), as amended, 
     relating to the provision of operational support to partners 
     and allies in combined operations with U.S. Armed Forces, in 
     military operations that support U.S. national security 
     interests, or in support of U.S. operations in Iraq and 
     Afghanistan.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with technical amendment.
     Department of Defense State Partnership Program (sec. 1246)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1257) that 
     would codify the Department of Defense State Partnership 
     Program (section 1205 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66), as amended by 
     section 1203 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92)).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Transfer of authority on regional defense combating terrorism 
         fellowship program (sec. 1247)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1258) that 
     would transfer to the new chapter 16 on security cooperation 
     in title 10, United States Code, the regional combating 
     terrorism fellowship program (section 2249c of title 10, 
     United States Code) and modify the program to authorize the 
     Secretary of Defense to carry out a program under which the 
     Secretary may pay costs associated with the education and 
     training of national-level security officials of friendly 
     foreign nations.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would transfer the 
     underlying authority for the regional combating terrorism 
     fellowship program to the new chapter 16 on security 
     cooperation and would make a technical modification to the 
     reporting requirement.
     Consolidation of authorities for service academy 
         international engagement (sec. 1248)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1259) that 
     would amend Chapter 16 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     consolidate international engagement authorities for the 
     service academies of the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that under current law, there are nine 
     separate authorities that determine the selection of, funding 
     for, and conditions for international students attending the 
     service academies of the Army, Navy, or Air Force. The 
     conferees believe consolidating these authorities would 
     provide consistency by creating a single, common authority 
     for use by the service academies to select international 
     students and conduct exchange programs with foreign military 
     academies.
     Consolidated annual budget for security cooperation programs 
         and activities of the Department of Defense (sec. 1249)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1262) that 
     would require the budget of the President for each fiscal 
     year after fiscal year 2018, as submitted to Congress by the 
     President pursuant to section 1105 of title 31, United States 
     Code, to include as a separate item the amounts requested for 
     the Department of Defense (including those funds in the 
     budgets of the military departments) for such fiscal year for 
     all security cooperation programs and activities of the 
     Department, including the specific amounts, if any, and the 
     specific country or region, to the maximum extent 
     practicable, for such programs and activities.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
       Consistent with the creation of the new chapter 16 on 
     security cooperation and the consolidation of the Department 
     of Defense's security cooperation funding and related 
     authorities, this provision is intended to enhance the 
     ability of the congressional defense committees to conduct 
     oversight of the Department's security cooperation programs 
     and activities, including those undertaken by the military 
     services; to understand better how the Department plans, 
     programs, and prioritizes its security cooperation programs 
     and activities to fill gaps in its contingency plans; to 
     enable foreign partners against a common threat or enemy; and 
     to align resources with the Department's strategic 
     objectives. This approach is also intended to better enable 
     public transparency.
     Department of Defense security cooperation workforce 
         development (sec. 1250)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1263) that 
     would direct the Secretary of Defense to create a Department 
     of Defense security cooperation workforce development program 
     to oversee the development and management of a professional 
     workforce supporting security cooperation programs of the 
     Department of Defense as well as the execution of security 
     assistance programs and activities under the Foreign 
     Assistance Act and the Arms Control Act by the Department of 
     Defense.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
       Despite the increasing emphasis on security cooperation to 
     further its strategic objectives, the conferees are concerned 
     that the Department of Defense--whether in implementing State 
     Department programs or its own programs--has not devoted 
     sufficient attention and resources to the development, 
     management, and sustainment of the Department's security 
     cooperation workforce to ensure effective assessment, 
     planning, monitoring, execution, evaluation, and 
     administration of security cooperation programs and 
     initiatives. As a result of this inattention, security 
     cooperation initiatives are not always planned and 
     implemented in such a way as to most effectively advance 
     national security objectives, and the Military Departments 
     are left to pursue their unique service objectives, which may 
     not always align with broader foreign policy objectives or 
     integrate with Department of Defense efforts. The conferees 
     are also concerned about the lack of standardization in the 
     organization of the security cooperation workforce within the 
     Military Departments.
       Finally, the conferees believe that security cooperation 
     outcomes would improve if the security cooperation planning 
     workforce, including within Embassy country teams and at 
     Geographic Combatant Commands, was able to draw upon not just 
     the foreign area officer specialty, but also upon other 
     relevant specialties such as force planning, logistics, and 
     acquisition.
       The conferees believe that building security capabilities 
     of a partner nation and deepening interoperability through 
     security cooperation requires a specialized set of skills, 
     and the current system neither develops those skills among 
     its workforce nor rationally assigns its workforce to match 
     appropriate skills with requirements. The conferees believe 
     increased attention and resourcing must be focused on the 
     recruitment, training, certification, assignment, and career 
     development of the security cooperation workforce. The 
     conferees expect the Department to implement this authority 
     expansively in order to address shortfalls in the security 
     cooperation workforce throughout the enterprise.
       Specifically, implementation of this authority should (1) 
     ensure the development and rational allocation of qualified 
     and experienced personnel in order to support high-priority 
     security cooperation initiatives and partners; (2) ensure the 
     appropriate sizing, organization, and chain-of-command for 
     the security cooperation workforce within the Military 
     Departments; (3) ensure the appropriate skills and 
     capabilities are developed within the workforce and that 
     there are standard and viable career paths; and (4) ensure 
     sufficient size of the Title 10 workforce to enhance program 
     management and administration, as well as to strike a more 
     appropriate balance with the Title 22 workforce. The 
     conferees expect that the Department will allocate necessary 
     resources, from available Title 10 security cooperation 
     program resources and other appropriate sources, sufficient 
     to achieve these objectives, and reflect these costs in its 
     annual security cooperation budget submission.
       The conferees note that effectiveness and efficiency of 
     security cooperation implementation will depend on a 
     workforce that is integrated across the enterprise and 
     responsive to clear strategic direction in support of 
     Department priorities.
     Reporting requirements (sec. 1251)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1261) to 
     consolidate and standardize the Department's reporting on 
     security cooperation

[[Page 15178]]

     authorities and programs in an annual report.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1205).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees note that this Act retains nearly all of the 
     notification requirements with respect to the Department's 
     security cooperation activities. Coupled with the requirement 
     for an annual budget submission that appears elsewhere in 
     this Act, this approach relieves the Department of an overly 
     burdensome reporting regime while maintaining the 
     transparency and accountability required for appropriate 
     oversight and real-time monitoring of the Department's new 
     programs. The conferees expect that the level of detail 
     contained in the annual report should be equal to or greater 
     than the existing individual reports. Any degradation in the 
     quality of the reporting on the Department's security 
     cooperation program and activities would be inconsistent with 
     the intent of the conferees in undertaking this broader 
     reform initiative.
     Quadrennial Review of Security Sector Assistance Program and 
         Authorities of the United States Government (sec. 1252)
       The conference agreement includes a provision that would 
     require the President to conduct a quadrennial review of all 
     U.S. Government security sector assistance programs, 
     policies, authorities, and resources.
     Other conforming amendments and authority for administration 
         (sec. 1253)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1265) that 
     would repeal superseded, obsolete, or duplicate statutes 
     relating to security cooperation as part of its efforts to 
     streamline and rationalize the authorities of the Department 
     to conduct security cooperation.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.

                   Subtitle F--Human Rights Sanctions

     Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act (secs. 1261-
         1265)
       The Senate bill contained provisions (secs. 1281-1284) that 
     would authorize the President to impose sanctions with 
     respect to any foreign person that the President determines 
     is responsible for gross human rights violations or acts of 
     significant corruption.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with amendments which would sunset the 
     provision six years after enactment, modify the congressional 
     referral mechanism, and revise the waiver threshold for the 
     termination of sanctions, as well as several technical 
     amendments.

                   Subtitle G--Miscellaneous Reports

     Modification of annual report on military and security 
         developments involving the People's Republic of China 
         (sec. 1271)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1242) that 
     would require a summary of the order of battle of the 
     People's Liberation Army, including anti-ship ballistic 
     missiles, theater ballistic missiles, and land attack cruise 
     missile inventory and a description of the People's Republic 
     of China's military and nonmilitary activities in the South 
     China Sea to be added to the Annual Report on Military and 
     Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of 
     China.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Monitoring and evaluation of overseas humanitarian, disaster, 
         and civic aid programs of the Department of Defense (sec. 
         1272)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1245) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to use up to 5 
     percent of the amounts authorized to be appropriated by this 
     Act for Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid 
     (OHDACA) for fiscal year 2017, to conduct monitoring and 
     evaluation of the OHDACA programs of the Department of 
     Defense. This section would also require the Secretary of 
     Defense to provide a briefing to the specified committees not 
     later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this 
     Act on mechanisms to evaluate OHDACA programs.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     authorization to fiscal year 2018.
     Strategy for United States defense interests in Africa (sec. 
         1273)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1249) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report not 
     later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act 
     to the congressional defense committees that contains a 
     strategy for United States defense interests in Africa.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Report on the potential for cooperation between the United 
         States and Israel on directed energy capabilities (sec. 
         1274)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1250) that 
     would allow the Secretary of Defense to carry out research, 
     development, test and evaluation activities, on a joint basis 
     with Israel to establish directed energy capabilities to 
     detect and defeat ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, 
     unmanned aerial vehicles, mortars, and improvised explosive 
     devices that threaten the United States, deployed forced of 
     the United States, or Israel.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would replace the 
     House provision with the requirement for a report on the 
     potential for United States and Israeli directed energy 
     cooperation to defeat ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, 
     unmanned aerial vehicles, mortars, and improvised explosive 
     devices. The report is due to the congressional defense and 
     foreign relations committees not later than 180 days after 
     enactment of this act.
     Annual update of Department of Defense Freedom of Navigation 
         Report (sec. 1275)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1241) that 
     directs the Secretary of Defense to submit an annual report 
     to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
     House of Representatives setting forth an update on the most 
     current Freedom of Navigation Report under the Freedom of 
     Navigation Operations (FONOPS) program.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1255) that directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
     quarterly report to the congressional defense committees on 
     any excessive territorial claims of foreign countries that 
     were challenged by freedom of navigation operations and 
     flights carried out by the armed forces during such fiscal 
     quarter.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would terminate 
     the report on September 30, 2021.
     Reports on INF Treaty and Open Skies Treaty (sec. 1276)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1259H) that 
     would require the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to 
     submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report 
     on the Open Skies Treaty that assesses possible non-
     compliance of the treaty by the Russian Federation, and 
     whether the treaty remains in the national security interest 
     of the United States. It would also require a report on the 
     INF Treaty of whether and why the Treaty remains in the 
     national security interests of the United States and a 
     specific plan to remedy the Russian violation of the INF 
     Treaty.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add the 
     House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the 
     Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to the list of 
     congressional committees to receive the reports.
     Assessment of proliferation of certain remotely piloted 
         aircraft systems (sec. 1277)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1275) that 
     would require an independent assessment directed by the 
     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to report on the impact 
     to United States national security interests of the 
     proliferation of certain remotely piloted aircraft. The 
     assessment would include an analysis of the threat posed to 
     the United States as a result of the proliferation of such 
     aircraft to adversaries, the impact of such proliferation on 
     the combat capabilities of and interoperability with partners 
     and allies of the United States, and the potential benefits 
     and risks of continuing to limit exports of such aircraft.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the proliferation of remotely 
     piloted aircraft has significantly altered the context of the 
     international security environment since the origination of 
     the Missile Technology Control Regime that proscribes a 
     ``strong presumption of denial'' for the export of such 
     aircraft.

                       Subtitle H--Other Matters

     Enhancement of interagency support during contingency 
         operations and transition periods (sec. 1281)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1050) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     State to enter into an agreement allowing each Secretary to 
     provide support, supplies, and services on a reimbursement 
     basis, or by exchange of support, supplies, and services, to 
     the other Secretary during a contingency operation and 
     related transition period.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1246).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Two-year extension and modification of authorization of non-
         conventional assisted recovery capabilities (sec. 1282)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1274) that 
     would extend the authority of the Department of Defense to 
     establish, develop, and maintain non-conventional assisted 
     recovery (NAR) capabilities for three additional years and 
     modify the eligibility of personnel for whom such support may 
     be provided.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision that 
     would modify section 943 of the Duncan Hunter National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public

[[Page 15179]]

     Law 110-417), as most recently amended by section 1271 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92), to permit the recovery of individuals 
     identified by the Secretary of Defense when a non-
     conventional assisted recovery capability is already in place 
     and would extend the authority through 2020.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
       The conferees direct the Department to
     ensure that the planning, initiation, sustainment, and 
     utilization of NAR capabilities are fully coordinated and de-
     conflicted with other U.S. departments and agencies who may 
     also play a role in the recovery of designated individuals 
     overseas. (The conferees also note that non-conventional 
     assisted recovery is a traditional military activity and the 
     authority modified and extended by this provision does not 
     authorize the conduct of intelligence activities.)
     Authority to destroy certain specified World War II-era 
         United States-origin chemical munitions located on San 
         Jose Island, Republic of Panama (sec. 1283)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1248) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to destroy eight 
     chemical munitions on San Jose Island, Panama. The use of 
     these funds shall not take effect until there is an agreement 
     between the United States and Panama that such munitions are 
     termed ``old chemical weapons'' and not ``abandoned chemical 
     weapons'' and that per the prior lease agreement, the United 
     States is under no legal obligation to destroy any additional 
     chemical munitions, munitions constituents, and associated 
     debris that may be located on San Jose Island as a result of 
     research, development, and testing activities conducted on 
     San Jose Island during the period of 1943 through 1947. This 
     provision is not applicable to agreements with or obligations 
     to countries other than Panama.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1421).
       The Senate recedes.
     Sense of Congress on military exchanges between the United 
         States and Taiwan (sec. 1284)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1243) that 
     directed the Secretary of Defense to carry out a program of 
     exchanges of senior military officers and senior officials 
     between the United States and Taiwan, both in the United 
     States and Taiwan, designed to improve military to military 
     relations between the United States and Taiwan.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1254) that expressed a sense of the congress that that the 
     Secretary of Defense should conduct a program of senior 
     military exchanges between the United States and Taiwan, both 
     in the United States and Taiwan, that have the objective of 
     improving military-to-military relations and defense 
     cooperation between the United States and Taiwan.
       The House recedes with an amendment that the Secretary of 
     Defense should carry out such a program of exchanges, both in 
     the United States and Taiwan.
     Limitation on availability of funds to implement the Arms 
         Trade Treaty (sec. 1285)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1259A) that 
     would prohibit the use of funds to implement the Arms Trade 
     Treaty unless the Treaty has received the advice and consent 
     of the Senate and has been the subject of implementing 
     legislation. The National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 10 U.S.C. 801 note) 
     contained a similar provision.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Prohibition on use of funds to invite, assist, or otherwise 
         assure the participation of Cuba in certain joint or 
         multilateral exercises (sec. 1286)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1204) that 
     would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from using any funds 
     to invite, assist, or otherwise assure the participation of 
     the Government of Cuba in any joint or multilateral exercise 
     or related security conference between the United States and 
     Cuba until the Secretary, in coordination with the Director 
     of National Intelligence, submits to Congress certain 
     assurances. The provision would provide an exception to the 
     prohibition for any joint or multilateral exercise or 
     operation related to humanitarian assistance or disaster 
     response.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1259B) that would prohibit the use of funds authorized to be 
     appropriated or otherwise made available to the Department of 
     Defense for any bilateral military-to-military contact or 
     cooperation between the Governments of the United States and 
     Cuba until the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
     State, in consultation with the Director of National 
     Intelligence, certify to the appropriate congressional 
     committees that the Government of Cuba has taken specified 
     actions.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
     the Secretary of Defense from using any funds authorized to 
     be appropriated or otherwise made available for fiscal year 
     2017 for the Department of Defense unless the Secretary of 
     Defense and the Secretary of State, in consultation with the 
     Director of National Intelligence, certify to the appropriate 
     congressional committees that the Government of Cuba has 
     taken specified actions, with certain exceptions.
       It is the intent of the conferees that the exception 
     contained in subsection (b)(1) of this section includes 
     periodic contact between appropriate officials of the 
     Governments of the United States and Cuba concerning the 
     security and management of personnel and facilities at Naval 
     Station Guantanamo Bay, commonly referred to as ``fence-line 
     talks,'' which have been a routine and ongoing activity for 
     many years and have proven important to ensuring the safety 
     of U.S. personnel serving at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay.
     Global Engagement Center (sec. 1287)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1259C) that 
     would direct the Secretary of State in coordination with the 
     Secretary of Defense (and relevant federal departments and 
     agencies and partner nations) to establish a Global 
     Engagement Center (GEC) within 6 months of enactment. The 
     GEC's general purpose would be to discover, expose and 
     counter foreign government information warfare efforts (to 
     include foreign propaganda and disinformation efforts) and 
     proactively advance fact-based narratives that support US 
     allies and interests. The GEC would terminate 5 years after 
     enactment.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that included changes 
     to the purpose and functions of the GEC, further specified 
     the appointment, delegation and scope and responsibility and 
     authority of the head of the GEC, modified the authority to 
     transfer funds for the GEC, added a reporting requirement to 
     the appropriate congressional committees, and extended the 
     termination of the GEC to 8 years after enactment.
     Modification of United States International Broadcasting Act 
         of 1994 (sec. 1288)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1259D) that 
     would amend Section 304 of P.L. 103-236 (22 USC 6203) to 
     permanently establish the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) 
     position as head of the Broadcasting Board of Governors 
     (BBG), the federal agency that oversees all U.S.-funded non-
     military international broadcasting, while removing the nine-
     member bipartisan Board that currently heads the agency. It 
     would also provide certain new flexibilities in the BBG CEO's 
     authorities, including expanded authority to allow the BBG 
     CEO to direct appropriated funds and to hire certain 
     personnel. The House amendment also contained a provision 
     (sec. 1259E) that would authorize the BBG CEO to consolidate 
     the current U.S. international broadcasters that receive 
     federal grants as independent non-profit corporations (Radio 
     Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, and the Middle 
     East Broadcasting Networks) into one grantee broadcaster, 
     with certain related expanded supervisory roles and 
     authorities vested in the BBG CEO. This provision would also 
     authorize the BBG CEO to establish a similar non-federal 
     broadcasting corporation, receiving a federal operating 
     grant, to assume the broadcasting responsibilities of the 
     Voice of America (VOA, the federal government broadcaster 
     operating within the BBG), and abolish VOA as a federal 
     entity.

     Redesignation of South China Sea Initiative (sec. 1289)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1246) that

     Asia Maritime Security Initiative.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1259F).
       The Senate recedes.

     continue supporting the efforts of countries participating in 
     the Southeast Asia Maritime Security Initiative to strengthen 
     their maritime security capacity, domain awareness, and 
     integration of their capabilities.
     Measures against persons involved in activities that violate 
         arms control treaties or agreements with the United 
         States (sec. 1290)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1259L) that 
     would require the President to impose certain measures on a 
     person the President determines has engaged in any activity 
     that contributed to the President's or Secretary of State's 
     determination that such a country is not in full compliance 
     with its obligations undertaken in all arms control, on 
     proliferation, and disarmament agreements to which the United 
     States is participating state. Certain measures, exceptions, 
     remedies, and waivers are included in the provision, 
     including an exception for sanctions that would impact

[[Page 15180]]

     waiver on a case-by-case if the person or entity engaging in, 
     or supporting, an activity that contributed to a country not 
     being in full compliance did not knowingly engage in such 
     activity, and such waiver is in the interest of the national 
     security of the United States; and termination of sanctions 
     when the country concerned is no longer in violation.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
     Secretary of the Treasury to produce a list of persons 
     (including an entity or entities) involved in sanctionable

     annual report on Adherence to and Compliance with Arms 
     Control, Nonproliferation, and Disarmament Agreements and 
     Commitments (required by 22 U.S.C. 2593a) has been submitted. 
     Such person(s) would be subject to immediate sanction.
       Additionally, the Senate amendment narrows the scope of the 
     new sanction only to those countries who are not determined 
     to be closely cooperating with the United States by the 
     Director of National Intelligence.
       The Senate amendment also required the waiver tied to a 
     knowing violation include a requirement that such conduct has 
     been terminated or that verifiable assurances that the person 
     will terminate such activity have been provided.
       The Senate amendment further provides waiver authority if 
     the President determines on a case-by-case basis that the 
     imposition of a sanction under this section would jeopardize 
     an intelligence source or method. The conferees expect this 
     waiver to be used only when there is a clear and specific 
     risk that sources and methods would be compromised or 
     exposed. Detailed information on such risk will be reported 
     to the specified congressional committees.
       The Senate amendment also provides measures to delay the 
     immediate imposition of sanctions if the President determines 
     the government of the country concerned has taken specific 
     and effective actions, including penalties as appropriate, to 
     terminate the involvement of a domiciled person in the 
     activity that triggered sanctions. This delay includes up to 
     120 days if the President initiates consultations with the 
     government of the country concerned and an additional 120 
     days if such government is in the process of taking specific 
     and effective actions to terminate the involvement of a 
     domiciled entity in the activity that triggered sanctions.
       The Senate amendment contains additional measures for 
     termination if the person has ceased the activity 
     contributing to a country's violation.

     provision that would consolidate multiple authorities to 
     build the capacity of friendly foreign nations to conduct 
     specified operations, to include counter-weapons of mass 
     destruction operations. The conferees intend for activities 
     conducted to date under section 1204 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) to 
     be conducted under the new building partnership capacity in 
     the new chapter 16 on security cooperation without

     description of the titles, roles, and responsibilities of the 
     personnel responsible for reviewing credible information 
     relating to human rights violations and the personnel 
     responsible for making decisions regarding the implementation 
     of the prohibition in subsection (a)(1) of such section 294; 
     (3) An addendum that includes any findings or recommendations 
     included in any report issued by a Federal Inspector General

     determines is appropriate.
     Sense of Congress on United States policy and strategy in 
         Afghanistan
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1215) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the President should 
     authorize a certain number of United States troops for 
     missions in Afghanistan and provide the appropriate 
     authorities, capabilities, and resources to ensure both 
     mission success and adequate force protection for United 
     State forces.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that the United States continues to have 
     vital national security interests in ensuring that 
     Afghanistan is a stable, sovereign country and that stability 
     and security in Afghanistan reinforces stability and security 
     in the region. The conferees urge the President to ensure 
     that the commander in Afghanistan has the required resources, 
     authorities, and capabilities to protect U.S. and Coalition 
     troops and to enable their counterterrorism and train, advise 
     and assist missions. Further, the conferees believe that the 
     United States should continue to provide the required support 
     to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces to secure 
     Afghanistan.
     Sense of Congress relating to Dr. Shakil Afridi
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1218) that

     Pakistan to release him immediately.

     Transition Command-Afghanistan has adequate access to 
     financial records of the Government of Afghanistan to audit 
     the use of funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or 
     otherwise made available for fiscal year 2017 for assistance 
     for Afghanistan.

     Report on prevention of future terrorist organizations in 
         Iraq and Syria
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1224) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
     that describes the political, economic, and security 
     conditions in Iraq and Syria that would be necessary and 
     sufficient to prevent the formation of future terrorist 
     organizations in Iraq and Syria that may present a danger to 
     the United States, its allies, and the stability of Iraq, 
     Syria, and the rest of the Middle East region.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense and Secretary 
     of State to jointly provide a report to the congressional

     year after the date of the enactment of this Act on the 
     political and military strategies to defeat the Islamic State 
     in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and on the political, 
     economic, and security conditions in Iraq and Syria that 
     would be necessary and sufficient to prevent the formation of 
     future terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria. At a 
     minimum, the briefing should include a description of: (1) 
     the military conditions that must be met for ISIL to be 
     considered defeated; (2) the plan for achieving a political 
     transition in Syria; (3) a plan for Iraqi political reform

     Government should condemn and call for an immediate end to 
     attacks on medical facilities and medical providers in Syria

     to meet urgent humanitarian needs where appropriate.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note with deep concern continued attacks on 
     civilians, medical personnel, and medical facilities in 
     Syria. These attacks constitute violations of international 
     humanitarian law. The conferees urge the Department of 
     Defense to ensure these violations are documented and further 
     encourage the Department of Defense to support, where 
     appropriate, international efforts to meet humanitarian and 
     medical needs in Syria.

         of Iraq and Syria

     Levant (ISIL) through oil production and sale.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

     State in Iraq and the Levant, al Qaeda, and forces associated

     Statement of policy on United States efforts in Europe to 
         reassure United States partners and allies and deter 
         aggression by the Government of the Russian Federation
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1234) that 
     would express a statement that it is the policy of the United 
     States to reassure U.S. partners and allies in Europe and to 
     deter aggression by the Government of the Russian Federation 
     in order to enhance regional and global security and 
     stability.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees remain concerned about the evolving security 
     situation throughout the European continent. A revanchist 
     Russian Federation, rising incidents of terrorism, and 
     unprecedented refugee and migrant flows are among the issues 
     that continue to present significant security challenges to 
     the region. The conferees recognize the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization (NATO) as the cornerstone of transatlantic 
     security cooperation and the guarantor of peace and stability 
     in Europe. The conferees believe that NATO members must 
     continue to review defense spending to ensure sufficient 
     funding is obligated to meet security needs, as well as 
     providing adequate NATO contributions. The fulfillment of 
     NATO members' commitments to allocate a minimum of two 
     percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for defense 
     expenditures and 20 percent of defense expenditures on major 
     equipment, is of vital importance to the health of the NATO 
     alliance. The conferees remain committed to supporting and 
     upholding the policies enumerated in the NATO 2012 Wales 
     Summit and the NATO 2016 Warsaw Summit including full 
     realization of the Readiness Action Plan, fulfillment of 
     defense spending commitments, and timely implementation of an 
     enhanced forward military presence.
       The conferees support U.S. efforts to increase presence in 
     the European theater and commend the work of the Department 
     of Defense thus far to reassure U.S. allies and partners in 
     the region, increase NATO interoperability, provide critical 
     training and assistance to European allies and partners, and 
     deter Russian aggression. The conferees view the fiscal year 
     2017 President's Budget Request of $3.42 billion for the 
     European Deterrence Initiative (EDI) as an important step to 
     support the stability and security of the region and deter 
     further Russian antagonism and aggression. EDI will continue 
     to serve as an important tool to bolster U.S. force presence 
     in the region, train and equip the security forces of 
     European partners and allies, enhance indications and warning 
     mechanisms, and improve U.S. agility and flexibility through 
     strategic infrastructure investments. The conferees believe 
     additional emphasis is necessary on developing capabilities 
     for countering unconventional methods of warfare such as 
     cyber warfare, economic coercion, information operations, and 
     intelligence operations. The conferees encourage the 
     Department of Defense to include EDI resources and programs 
     in the base budget in order to ensure persistent funding 
     support as well as the ability to plan for long-term 
     investments towards the security and stability of the 
     European continent.
     European investment in security and stability
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1234) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization (NATO) allies and European partners are 
     indispensable to addressing global security challenges and 
     that their investment in developing and employing robust 
     security capabilities in Europe should meet or exceed U.S. 
     efforts in this regard and would require an accounting by the 
     Secretary of Defense of current and planned security

       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1302) that 
     would allocate funding for the Cooperative Threat Reduction 
     program from within the overall $325.6 million that the 
     committee would authorize for the CTR Program. The allocation 
     under this section reflects the amount of the budget request 
     for fiscal year 2017.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1302) that would allocate funding for the Cooperative Threat 
     Reduction program at $325.6 million, including for certain 
     specific purposes. In addition, the House amendment would 
     also extend certain notification requirements, which would 
     allow the committee to enhance its oversight of proposed CTR 
     projects. Further, it would require a new determination as to 
     whether other authorities are also available to the Secretary 
     of Defense, and other Secretaries as applicable, and if they 
     exist, an explanation for why the Secretaries were not able 
     to use them for a specific proposed project.
       The Senate recedes.
     Limitation on availability of funds for Cooperative Threat 
         Reduction in People's Republic of China (sec. 1303)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1303) that 
     would ensure Cooperative Threat Reduction funds are obligated 
     or expended in quarterly installments. The provision would 
     further require that the Secretary of Defense not obligate or 
     expend funds for CTR activities in China unless he has 
     submitted to the specific congressional committees a 
     certification regarding certain nonproliferation benchmarks 
     (including the arrest of Li Fangwei, also known as ``Karl 
     Lee'') with respect to China.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that requires 
     obligation or expenditure of such funds in semiannual 
     installments. The amendment further requires that 15 days 
     before funds are obligated, the Secretary of Defense shall 
     submit to the congressional defense committees, the House 
     Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Committee on Foreign 
     Affairs the report on such activities as required by section 
     50 United States Code 3711(g). In addition to the matters 
     required by 50 United States Code 3711(g), each report shall 
     include in coordination with the Secretary of State whether 
     China has taken material steps to disrupt proliferation 
     activities of Li Fangwei; and arrest Li Fangwei pursuant to 
     an indictment charged in the United States District Court of 
     New York on April 29, 2014; and whether China has 
     proliferated to any non-nuclear weapons state or any nuclear 
     weapons state in violation of the Treaty on Non-Proliferation 
     of Nuclear Weapons including any item that contributes to a 
     ballistic missile as well as the number and type of demarches 
     with respect to the above matters.

                 Subtitle B--National Defense Stockpile

     Authority to dispose of certain materials from and to acquire 
         additional materials for the National Defense Stockpile 
         (sec. 1411)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1412) that 
     would require the National Defense Stockpile (NDS) Manager to 
     dispose of specific rare earth elements (REE) while also 
     allowing funds available in the National Defense Stockpile 
     Transaction Fund to be used for the acquisition of other 
     materials.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1411) that would grant permissive authority to the NDS 
     Manager to dispose of specific REE while also allowing funds 
     available in the NDS Transaction Fund to be used for the 
     acquisition of other materials.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that REE acquisitions would alleviate 
     some defense supply chain vulnerability as well as mitigate 
     some risk of foreign reliance for REE and critical materials.
     National Defense Stockpile matters (sec. 1412)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1411) that 
     would amend section 4 of the Strategic and Critical Materials 
     Stock Piling Act, title 50 United States Code, to provide the 
     authority to recover, acquire, recycle, and manage the 
     disposal of excess and recyclable strategic and critical 
     materials containing rare earth elements (REE) from other 
     federal agencies, including the Department of Defense. The 
     provision would also enable the National Defense Stockpile 
     (NDS) Manager to fund the qualification of domestically-
     produced strategic materials and REE, which could provide 
     significant cost savings to DOD compared to foreign REE.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1412).
       The House recedes.
       The conferees strongly believe that enabling the NDS to 
     qualify domestic materials and create substitutions could 
     provide a significant risk mitigation for DOD's supply chain 
     and reduce the reliance upon foreign-sourced REE, along with 
     cost-effective domestic and strategic alternatives.
       Additionally, the conferees strongly encourage DOD to use 
     its authority to recycle previously discarded items such as 
     unclassified electronic waste, fluorescent lamps, batteries, 
     magnets, and thermal barrier coatings in order to extract, 
     reclaim, and reuse critical materials and REE to address DOD 
     requirements.

     National Academies of Sciences study on conventional 
         munitions demilitarization alternative technologies (sec. 
         1421)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1422) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army in concurrence with 
     the Board on Army Science and Technology of the National 
     Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to conduct a 
     study of the conventional munitions demilitarization program 
     of the Department of Defense.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.

                       Subtitle D--Other Matters

         Care Center, Illinois (sec. 1431)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1431) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to transfer $122.4 
     million to the Joint Department of Defense-Department of

     operations of the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care 
     Center, consisting of the North Chicago Veterans Affairs 
     Medical Center, the Navy Ambulatory Care Center, and 
     supporting facilities.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

     Year 2008 Public Law 110-181), as amended. The provision 
     would extend the authority under subsection 1532(b) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015

     support to the extent practicable the efforts of the 
     Government of Afghanistan to promote the security of Afghan 
     women and girls and report on a plan to promote the security

     Defense Authorization Act of 2016.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1531).
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund (sec. 1522)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1532) that 
     would modify subsection 1532(a) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to 
     extend the use and transfer authority for the Joint 
     Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund (JIEDDF) through 
     fiscal year 2017. It would also modify section 1532(c) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 
     (Public Law 112-239) to expand the foreign governments to 
     whom assistance may be provided in order to counter the flow 
     of improvised explosive device (IED) precursor chemicals.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1531) 
     that would extend the use and transfer authority for the 
     JIEDDF for one year.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to modify and expand 
     the reporting requirements under section 1532(c).
       The conferees expect the expanded IED precursor chemical 
     authority to be focused on efforts to counter the Islamic 
     State of Iraq and the Levant. The conferees direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to brief the congressional defense 
     committees, not later than 90 days after enactment of this 
     Act, regarding utilization of the IED precursor chemical 
     authority to date, the plans for future employment of the 
     authority, and a discussion of additional authorities that 
     would be useful to the efforts to stem the flow of IED 
     precursor chemicals and components.
       Furthermore, the conferees note that Section 1532(c) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92), required a plan for transition of the 
     Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Agency (JIDA) activities, 
     functions, and resources to an existing military department 
     or Defense Agency. On January 29, 2016, the congressional 
     defense committees were notified by the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics that the 
     entirety of activities, functions, and resources of JIDA 
     would transition under the authority, direction, and control 
     of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) not later than 
     September 30, 2016 as the Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat 
     Organization (JIDO).
       The conferees support the transition of JIDA as JIDO under 
     the authority, direction, and control of DTRA. Integration of 
     the roles, mission, and activities of JIDA under DTRA should 
     result in reduced overhead management costs while maintaining 
     core

[[Page 15187]]

     competencies of each entity in order to respond to warfighter 
     needs. The conferees commend the identification of potential 
     areas to reduce overhead costs and achieve efficiencies in 
     the transition plan submitted on August 21, 2016. However, 
     the conferees note the lack of detail regarding the processes 
     used to integrate cost reduction efforts into the ongoing 
     transition plan needed to realize savings and efficiencies.
       The conferees recognize the transition will impact both 
     DTRA's and JIDA's organizational construct. The conferees 
     also recognize that the transition and associated 
     efficiencies may warrant changes in JIDA's leadership 
     construct and associated billets as JIDA becomes an 
     organization under the authority, direction, and control of 
     DTRA.
       Therefore, the conferees direct the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics to brief 
     the congressional defense committees, not later than 60 days 
     after enactment of this act, on the implementation of the 
     transition of JIDA to DTRA as JIDO. The briefing shall 
     include a progress report on the overhead cost reductions and 
     efficiencies as well as cost reduction processes identified 
     in the transition plan, an identification of efficiencies 
     expected to be achieved in addition to those identified in 
     the initial transition plan, the organizational and command 
     and control constructs of DTRA and JIDO, an overview of the 
     combined budget estimations across the Future Years Defense 
     Program, and a description of how the core competencies of 
     both DTRA and JIDO are being retained in order to fulfill 
     designated missions and respond to warfighter needs.

         Device Defeat Fund for training of foreign security 
         forces to defeat improvised explosive devices (sec. 1523)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1533) that 
     would modify section 1533(e) of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) by 
     extending the Authority to use the Joint Improvised Explosive 
     Device Defeat Fund for training of foreign security forces to 
     defeat improvised explosive devices and precursor chemicals 
     from September 30, 2018, to September 30, 2020.

     (Public Law 113-291).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.

     transferred to Operations and Maintenance, Defense-Wide, 
     Defense Security Cooperation Agency, consistent with the 
     reform of the Department of Defense's security cooperation 
     programs and associated funding. It is the intent of the 
     conferees that the CTPF funding transferred to the Defense 
     Security Cooperation Agency be available for the purposes 
     authorized in chapter 16 of title 10, United States Code as

     Exception to the prohibition on contracting with Russian 
         suppliers of rocket engines for the evolved expendable 
         launch vehicle program (sec. 1602)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1602) that 
     would modify section 1608 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 1607 of 
     the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
     (Public Law 114-92) by striking subsection (c) and inserting 
     a new subsection. The new subsection would state that the 
     prohibition would not apply to either the placement of orders 
     or exercise of options under the contract numbered FA8811-13-
     C-0003 and awarded on December 18, 2013, or contracts that

     develop a contingency plan for using allied space launch 
     vehicles to meet assured access to space requirements should 
     the Department of Defense not be able to meet those 
     requirements, for a limited period of time, using only United 
     States launch vehicles.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to coordinate the required plan with the 
     Director of National Intelligence. The amendment would 
     require the required plan assess the relevant laws, 
     regulations, and policies governing the launch of national 
     security satellites and whether any legislative, regulatory, 
     or policy actions (including with respect to waivers) would 
     be necessary to allow for the launch of a national security 
     satellite on an allied launch vehicle. The amendment also 
     requires an assessment of the certification requirements for 
     using allied launch vehicles pursuant to the plan and the 
     estimated cost, schedule, and actions that would be necessary 
     to certify allied launch vehicles.
       The conferees note that the term ``allied launch vehicle'' 
     explicitly prohibits the consideration of space launch 
     vehicles from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.
       The conferees expect that the Secretary and Director take 
     into consideration the findings of the related study of 
     options for a backup plan for assured access to space as 
     identified in the Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense 
     Authorization Act Joint Explanatory Statement.

     would amend section 1611 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) by 
     striking subsection (b) and would insert a requirement for 
     the Secretary of Defense to develop study guidance for the 
     analysis of alternatives for wide-band communications to 
     consider the full range of military and commercial satellite 
     communications capabilities, acquisition processes, and 
     service delivery models. The provision would also require the 
     Secretary to ensure that any cost assessments of military or 
     commercial satellite communications systems include detailed 
     full life cycle costs, as applicable, including but not 
     limited to military personnel, military construction, 
     military infrastructure

[[Page 15188]]

     operation, maintenance costs, and ground and user terminal 
     impacts; and to also identify any considerations relating to 
     the use of military versus commercial systems for wide-band 
     satellite communications. The provision would also direct the 
     Comptroller General the United States to assess the 
     sufficiency of the study.
       The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1608) 
     that would require the Comptroller General to assess the 
     types of analyses the Department of Defense has conducted to 
     understand the costs and benefits of the use of KA-band 
     commercial satellite communications by the department.

     ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) to prohibit the obligation or 
     expenditure of any funding made available until the Secretary 
     of Defense submits to the congressional defense committees a 
     plan to demonstrate that the pilot program will achieve 
     order-of-magnitude improvements in satellite communications 
     capability.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1604) that would also amend section 1605 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 1612 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
     Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), by adding a requirement 
     that in developing and carrying out the pilot program, the 
     Secretary shall take actions to begin the implementation of 
     each specified goal by not later than September 30, 2017.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would merge the 
     two provisions and prohibit the obligation or expenditure of 
     5 percent of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this 
     Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2017 for the 
     headquarters of Air Force Space Command until the Secretary 
     of Defense submits a plan to demonstrate that the pilot 
     program will achieve order-of-magnitude improvements in 
     satellite communications capability.
       The conferees agree that the pilot program and pathfinders 
     are separate but complementary efforts. The conferees direct 
     the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
     Congressional Defense committees by December 1, 2016 on the 
     status of the pilot program and pathfinder activities, 
     including an implementation timeline and an identification of 
     any implementation challenges and options to address them.

     Department of Defense do not use a non-allied positioning, 
     navigation, and timing system or a service provided by such a 
     system. This requirement would sunset on September 30, 2018.
       The provision would also provide that the Secretary of 
     Defense may waive the prohibition if the Secretary determines 
     it is in the national security interest of the United States 
     and is necessary to mitigate exigent operational concerns, 
     and notifies the appropriate congressional committees in 
     writing and a period of 30 days has elapsed from the date of 
     such notification.
       The provision would further require the Secretary of 
     Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the 
     Director of National Intelligence to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees and the congressional 
     intelligence committees not later than 120 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act an assessment of the risks 
     to national security and to the operations and plans of the

     Security Agency is in the national security interests of the 
     United States. The provision would also prohibit the 
     Secretary of Defense from taking action to end the ``dual-hat 
     arrangement'' until the Secretary and the Chairman of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff jointly determine and certify to the 
     appropriate committees of Congress that ending that

     standards and capacity to train civilian cyber personnel to 
     develop tools and weapons for the Cyber Mission Forces and 
     (2) ensure that sufficient priority exists for the timely 
     completion of security clearance investigations and 
     adjudications for such personnel.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Requirement to enter into agreements relating to use of cyber 
         opposition forces (sec. 1644)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1633) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into 
     agreements with each combatant command relating to the use of 
     cyber opposition forces by September 30, 2017. This section 
     would also require the development of a joint certification 
     and training standard for cyber opposition forces by March 
     31, 2017.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would include an 
     additional requirement for the Secretary of Defense to issue 
     a joint training and certification standard by June 30, 2017 
     for the protection of control systems for use by all cyber 
     operations forces within the Department of Defense.

     systems and key management infrastructure until the Secretary 
     of Defense, in coordination with the Director of the National 
     Security Agency, provides a report on the integration of the 
     cryptographic modernization and key management infrastructure 
     programs of the military departments, including a description 
     of how the military departments have implemented stronger 
     leadership, increased integration, and reduced redundancy 
     with respect to such modernization and programs.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
     any Department of Defense service or agency from declaring 
     full operational capability for deployment of joint regional 
     security stacks until such time as the service or agency has 
     completed operational test and evaluation activities to 
     determine the effectiveness, suitability, and survivability 
     of the system. The provision would allow this requirement to 
     be waived under certain circumstances.
       The conferees direct the Department of Defense to provide a 
     briefing to the Armed Services Committee of the Senate and 
     House of Representatives, as well as the House Permanent 
     Select Committee on Intelligence, no later than 60 days after 
     the enactment of this Act, on the progress and activities of

     requiring the Secretary of Defense to evaluate the cyber 
     vulnerabilities of every major Department of Defense weapons 
     system by not later than December 31, 2019. The provision 
     would do so by requiring that a complete evaluation of the F-
     35 aircraft and its support systems, such as the Autonomic 
     Logistics Information System, be completed before February 1, 
     2017. The provision would require the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit a report on the F-35 cyber vulnerability evaluation to 
     the congressional defense committees no later than February 
     28, 2017. The provision would also allow for funding to be

     information repositories to share assessment findings and 
     mitigation solutions.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     evaluation of cyber vulnerabilities of the F-35 and support 
     systems not later than 120 days after the date of enactment 
     of this act. The amendment would also require the report on 
     the evaluation completed to be submitted to the congressional 
     defense committees not later than 180 days after the date of 
     enactment.
     Evaluation of cyber vulnerabilities of Department of Defense 
         critical infrastructure (sec. 1650)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1637) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to evaluate the cyber 
     vulnerabilities of Department of Defense critical 
     infrastructure by not later than December 31, 2020.
       The Senate bill also contained a provision (sec. 1634) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to carry out a Pilot 
     program on application of consequence-driven, cyber-informed 
     engineering to mitigate against cyber-security threats.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     two Senate provisions.
     Strategy to incorporate Army reserve component cyber 
         protection teams into Department of Defense cyber mission 
         force (sec. 1651)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1639) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Army to provide a briefing 
     on a strategy for incorporating Army National Guard 
     protection teams into the cyber mission force of the 
     Department of Defense.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand the 
     scope of the strategy to include both the Army National Guard 
     and the other reserve components of the Army.
     Strategic plan for the Defense Information Systems Agency 
         (sec. 1652)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1636) that 
     would require the Director of the Defense Information Systems 
     Agency (DISA) to develop a technology strategy.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that requires the 
     Director of DISA to develop strategic plan that reviews the 
     requirements and missions of the agency, and assesses the 
     adequacy of the technology strategy, workforce, and 
     facilities to meet those requirements.
       The conferees note that the Secretary of Defense is making 
     efforts to increase the department's use of and exposure to 
     innovative commercial information technologies and increase 
     outreach to innovative small businesses in locations 
     including Silicon Valley. Many of the technologies and 
     systems of interest are within the mission area of DISA.
       However, the conferees note with acute concern that at the 
     same time this trend is occurring to seek out and exploit new 
     commercial innovation, DISA appears to be reducing its 
     support for research and technology innovation, and has 
     limited connectivity and coordination with other science and 
     technology activities of the Department of Defense. The 
     conferees believe that for a technology organization to 
     eliminate its funding for flexible exploration of new 
     technology is short-sighted and detrimental to the long term 
     health of the organization. The conferees are concerned that 
     DISA has not adequately linked its research and technology 
     needs in a way to support the overall missions of the Agency, 
     which has repercussions on the workforce it is able to 
     attract, and the quality of support it is able to provide the 
     warfighter. To use one example, the conferees believe that 
     such behavior has impacted the ability of the Agency to fully 
     realize the benefits, as well as the operational challenges 
     and potentialities of emerging technologies like cloud and 
     mobile computing, cyber defense and big data analytics. That 
     impacts interactions with industry, but the conferees also 
     believe that DISA has not adequately leveraged potential 
     relationships with DOD labs and other innovative research 
     activities. The conferees believe that through the process of 
     developing a regular strategic plan, the Director of DISA 
     should be taking the opportunity to develop closer 
     coordination with appropriate research and development 
     organizations in the Office of the Secretary of Defense and 
     the Military Services to improve DISA's innovative capacity, 
     strengthen its R&D programs, and improve DOD's ability to 
     adopt the best commercial and other information technologies 
     to support defense missions.
     Plan for information security continuous monitoring 
         capability and comply-to-connect policy; limitation on 
         software licensing (sec. 1653)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1638) that 
     would require the Chief Information Officer of the Department 
     of Defense and the Commander of United States Cyber Command, 
     in coordination with the Principal Cyber Adviser, to jointly 
     develop a plan for a modernized, enterprise-wide information 
     security continuous monitoring capability and a comply-to-
     connect policy.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.
     Reports on deterrence of adversaries in cyberspace (sec. 
         1654)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1639) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees specifying in detail the 
     authorities that have been delegated by the President to the 
     Secretary for conducting cyber operations. The report would 
     require the Secretary to detail the standing authorities and 
     limitations that authorize or limit the Secretary in 
     conducting cyber operations and how those authorities compare 
     to the authorities delegated to the Secretary for activities 
     in non-cyber domains.
       The Senate bill also contained a provision (sec. 1640) that 
     would require the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to 
     submit to the President and the congressional defense 
     committees a report on the military and nonmilitary options 
     available to the United States to deter Russia, China, Iran, 
     North Korea, and terrorist organizations in cyberspace. The 
     provision would require the report to include an assessment 
     of the effectiveness of the deterrence options available. It 
     also would require the Chairman provide an integrated 
     priorities list of cyber deterrence capabilities of the 
     Department of Defense that identify, at a minimum, high 
     priority capability needs prioritized across armed forces and 
     functional lines, risk areas, and long-term strategic 
     planning issues. The provision would also require within 60 
     days of receiving the report from the Chairman of the Joint 
     Chiefs of Staff, that the President submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a separate report 
     identifying when an action carried out in cyberspace 
     constitutes an act of war against the United States. The 
     report would include (1) identification of what actions 
     carried out in cyberspace constitute an act of war against 
     the United States; (2) identification of how the law of war 
     applies to the cyber operations of the Department of Defense; 
     (3) identification of the circumstances required for 
     responding to a cyber attack against the United States; and 
     (4) a declaratory policy on the use of cyber weapons by the 
     United States.
       The House amendment contained a related provision (sec. 
     1636) that would require the Secretary of Defense submit a 
     report to the congressional defense committees on the 
     policies, doctrine, procedures, and authorities governing 
     Department of Defense activities in response to malicious 
     cyber activities carried out against the United States or 
     United States persons by foreign states or non-state actors.

[[Page 15192]]

       The House recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     three related provisions.
       The conferees note that in preparing the report required by 
     the provision the President shall consider (1) what severity 
     of cyber attack would elicit a military response; (2) The 
     ways in which the effects of a cyber attack may be equivalent 
     to effects of an attack using conventional kinetic weapons, 
     including with respect to physical destruction or casualties; 
     (3) intangible effects of significant scope, intensity, or 
     duration; and (4) how the law of neutrality applies, how the 
     utilization or exploitation of communications infrastructure 
     in neutral States applies, and what limitations, if any, 
     apply in exercising the right of the United States to act in 
     self-defense through a cyber-operation.

     would assert the sense of Congress concerning cyber 
     resiliency of the networks and communications systems of the 
     National Guard.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that encourages the 
     National Guard to budget within National Guard resources.

                       Subtitle D--Nuclear Forces

     Improvements to Council on Oversight of National Leadership 
         Command, Control, and Communications System (sec. 1661)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1652) that 
     would modify an existing report and add an assessment of the 
     readiness of the command, control, and communications system 
     for the national leadership of the United States.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1641) that would require a report on space architecture 
     development and limits funding to make changes to the 
     command, control, and communications system in a manner that 
     reduces warning time provided to the national leadership of 
     the United States with respect to a warning of a strategic 
     missile attack on the United States.
       The conference agreement includes both the House and Senate 
     provisions.
       The General Accountability Office (GAO) in its report 
     titled Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications: DOD Has 
     Taken Steps to Address Sustainment and Maintenance Challenges 
     for Critical Satellite Systems but Could Better Identify 
     Risks and Mitigation Actions, GAO-16-370C (May 26, 2016). In 
     that report the GAO highlighted a number of concerns 
     regarding critical satellite systems used for nuclear 
     command, control, and communications and recommended the 
     Department of Defense take action to improve the 
     identification of risks and mitigation actions. DOD, in its 
     official response to GAO's report, disagreed with GAO's 
     recommendation. The department stated that it understood the 
     concerns that GAO raised in respect to risks to these 
     systems, but stated that DOD has a strong governance and 
     oversight structure. The department asserted that it believes 
     the actions taken to date address risk at an acceptable level 
     with the transition of these satellite systems to their 
     replacement systems.
       Given the concerns raised by the GAO in its report, the 
     conferees direct the Council on Oversight of the National 
     Leadership Command, Control, and Communications System to 
     provide a written assessment to the congressional defense 
     committees that details (1) the actions the department has 
     taken to identify the risks associated with the transition of 
     these critical satellite systems, (2) information about the 
     department's evaluation of the acceptability of each of the 
     identified risks, and (3) information regarding actions the 
     department has identified to mitigate these risks. The 
     committee directs the Council to provide its written 
     assessment to the congressional defense committees no later 
     than February 28, 2017.
     Treatment of certain sensitive information by State and local 
         governments (sec. 1662)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1055) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense to designate 
     information as being Department of Defense critical 
     infrastructure security information to ensure that such 
     information is not disseminated without authorization.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1642).
       House recedes with technical and conforming amendments.
     Procurement authority for certain parts of intercontinental 
         ballistic missile fuzes (sec. 1663)

     would give the Department of Defense the authority to buy 
     intercontinental ballistic missile fuze parts.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     1643).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Prohibition on availability of funds for mobile variant of 
         ground-based strategic deterrent missile (sec. 1664)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1644) that 
     would prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated to retain 
     the option for, or develop, a mobile variant of the ground-
     based strategic deterrent missile.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Limitation on availability of funds for extension of New 
         START Treaty (sec. 1665)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1645) that 
     would limit authorized funds to be appropriated for the 
     Department of Defense to extend the New Start Treaty under 
     certain circumstances.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change the 
     reporting period from 180 days to 120 days following the 
     submission of both the report required by the provision and 
     the National Intelligence Estimate.
     Certifications regarding integrated tactical warning and 
         attack assessment mission of the Air Force (sec. 1666)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1646) that 
     would require the Secretary of the Air Force to consolidate 
     under a major command, commanded by a single general officer, 
     the responsibility, authority, accountability, and resources 
     for carrying out the nuclear command, control, and 
     communications functions of the Air Force by March 31, 2017. 
     This consolidation would be required to include, at a 
     minimum, all terrestrial and aerial components of the nuclear 
     command and control system that are survivable and endurable, 
     as well as all terrestrial and aerial components of the 
     integrated tactical warning and attack assessment (ITW/AA) 
     system that are survivable and endurable.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
     that, not later than March 31, 2017 and each year through 
     2020, the Commander of the U.S. Strategic Command certify to 
     the Secretary of Defense and the congressional defense 
     committees that the Air Force is organized, staffed, trained 
     and equipped to carry out the portions of the ITW/AA system 
     assigned to the Air Force that are survivable and endurable. 
     The Commander would further be required to certify that the 
     programs and plans of the Air Force for sustaining, 
     modernizing, training and exercising capabilities relating to 
     such missions are sufficient for mission success. If the 
     Commander of the U.S. Strategic Command does not make such a 
     certification, the Secretary of the Air Force would be 
     required to immediately consolidate the terrestrial and 
     aerial components of the ITW/AA system that are survivable 
     and enduring under the Air Force Global Strike Command. The 
     amendment also contains a rule of construction that this 
     section may not be construed to affect any responsibilities 
     relating to the ITW/AA system in effect on the date of 
     enactment of this Act pursuant to certain agreements between 
     the United States and Canada.
     Matters relating to intercontinental ballistic missiles (sec. 
         1667)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1649A) that 
     would state the policy of the United States to maintain and 
     modernize a responsive and alert intercontinental ballistic 
     missile force and prohibit (1) funding for reducing the 
     responsiveness or alert level of the intercontinental 
     ballistic missiles of the United States and (2) reducing the 
     quantity of deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles of 
     the United States to less than 400.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would drop the 
     policy statement and add an element on cost to the reporting 
     requirement.
     Requests for forces to meet security requirements for land-
         based nuclear forces (sec. 1668)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1655) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff to decide if the land-based missile 
     fields using UH-1N helicopters meet security requirements and 
     if there are any shortfalls or gaps in meeting such 
     requirements.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1649) that would require the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
     Staff to certify to the congressional defense committees that 
     the Chairman has approved any requests for forces of a 
     commander of a combatant command to meet the security 
     requirements of land-based nuclear forces.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     two provisions while eliminating the certification required 
     under the House provision. The provision includes a 
     restriction of 25 percent on travel and representational 
     expenses of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
     Technology, and Logistics until the Under Secretary certifies 
     that there is an acquisition process in place to ensure that 
     a UH-IN replacement aircraft is under contract in fiscal year 
     2018.
     Report on Russian and Chinese political and military 
         leadership survivability, command and control, and 
         continuity of government programs and activities (sec. 
         1669)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1647) that 
     would require the Director of National Intelligence to submit 
     to the

[[Page 15193]]

     appropriate congressional committees, a report on the 
     leadership survivability, command and control, and continuity 
     of government programs and activities with respect to the 
     People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Review by the Comptroller General of the United States of 
         recommendations relating to nuclear enterprise of 
         Department of Defense (sec. 1670)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1653) that 
     would require the Comptroller General to review the 
     Department of Defense's nuclear enterprise review process to 
     ascertain whether recommendations are adequately being 
     implemented.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Sense of Congress on nuclear deterrence (sec. 1671)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1654) that 
     would state the sense of Congress that the nuclear forces of 
     the United States continue to play a fundamental role in 
     deterring aggression against the interests of the United 
     States and its allies. It also states that the prevention of 
     war through effective deterrence requires survivable and 
     flexible nuclear forces that are well exercised and ready to 
     respond to nuclear escalation if necessary.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would update the 
     provision to take into account the July 2016 NATO Warsaw 
     Summit communique.
     Sense of Congress on importance of independent nuclear 
         deterrent of United Kingdom (sec. 1672)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1648) that 
     would express the sense of Congress that the United States 
     believes that the independent nuclear deterrent and decision-
     making of the United Kingdom provides a crucial contribution 
     to international stability, the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization alliance, and the national security of the 
     United States.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

                  Subtitle E--Missile Defense Programs

     National missile defense policy (sec. 1681)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1665) that 
     would remove the word ``limited'' from Section 2 of the 
     National Missile Defense Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-38; 10 
     U.S.C. 2431 note).
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1665) that would replace the National Missile Defense Act of 
     1999 with new policy language to the effect that the United 
     States should maintain and improve a robust layered missile 
     defense system capable of defending the territory of the 
     United States and its allies against the developing and 
     increasingly complex ballistic missile threat.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add to the 
     House provision language making it clear that the United 
     States should deploy effective missile defense systems.
       The conferees note, nothing in this legislative provision 
     requires or directs the development of missile defenses 
     against any country or its strategic nuclear forces.
     Extensions of prohibitions relating to missile defense 
         information and systems (sec. 1682)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1666) that 
     would extend prohibitions relating to missile defense 
     information and systems as described in section 130h(d) of 
     title 10, United States Code, to 2018.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1651) that 
     would prohibit funds to integrate a missile defense system of 
     the Russian Federation or a missile defense system of the 
     People's Republic of China into any missile defense system of 
     the United States, and which would extend this prohibition, 
     and a prohibition on sharing certain missile defense 
     information with Russia, to 2027.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     current prohibitions by two years to January 1, 2019.
     Non-terrestrial missile defense intercept and defeat 
         capability for the ballistic missile defense system (sec. 
         1683)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1663) that 
     would amend section 1685 of the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 by adding at the end a 
     new subsection stating that no later than 60 days after the 
     submittal of the report required, the Director may commence 
     coordination and activities associated with research, 
     development, test, and evaluation on the programs described.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1656) that would require the Director of the Missile Defense 
     Agency to commence the planning for concept definition, 
     design, research, development, engineering evaluation, and 
     test of a space-based ballistic missile intercept and defeat 
     layer to the ballistic missile defense system, including with 
     respect to a space test bed for a missile interceptor 
     capability, and submit a detailed budget and development plan 
     for these activities with the budget of the president 
     submitted for fiscal year 2018.
       The House recedes.
       The conferees note that while the United States enjoys a 
     measure of protection against ballistic missiles of all 
     ranges, the ballistic missile threat--including to the U.S. 
     homeland--continues to grow. The 2010 Ballistic Missile 
     Defense Review noted, ``It is difficult to predict precisely 
     how the threat to the U.S. homeland will evolve, but it is 
     certain that it will do so.'' The conferees agree and 
     received testimony that the threat from ballistic missiles 
     has continued to grow in numbers and in range and 
     countermeasures, making missiles more complex, survivable, 
     reliable, and accurate.
       Likewise, the conferees observe that United States space 
     assets are under increasing threat. Director of National 
     Intelligence, James Clapper, testified before the Senate 
     Armed Services Committee on February 9, 2016 that ``Threats 
     to our use of military, civil, and commercial space systems 
     will increase in the next few years as Russia and China 
     progress in developing counterspace weapon systems to deny, 
     degrade, or disrupt U.S. space systems.'' And that ``Russia 
     and China continue to pursue weapons systems capable of 
     destroying satellites on orbit, placing U.S. satellites at 
     greater risk in the next few years. China has probably made 
     progress on the antisatellite missile system that it tested 
     in July 2014.''
       All of this is to suggest that the United States cannot 
     stop exploring new and more effective means for protecting 
     our homeland and forces against ballistic missile threats and 
     for guarding our critical civilian and military space assets. 
     This provision encourages the Department of Defense to 
     examine the feasibility of defeating such threats with a new 
     generation of missile defense capabilities based in space.
     Review of the missile defeat policy and strategy of the 
         United States (sec. 1684)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1664) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff to conduct a review of the 
     strategy, programs and capabilities to counter cruise and 
     ballistic missiles prior to launch using the full range of 
     active, passive, kinetic, and non-kinetic defense measures.
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1652) that 
     required the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff to conduct a new review of the missile 
     defeat capability, policy, and strategy of the United States 
     with respect to left and right of launch ballistic missile 
     defense, for both regional and homeland missile defense, 
     incorporating the full range of active, passive, kinetic and 
     non-kinetic defense measures, and integrating offensive and 
     defensive forces for the defeat of ballistic and cruise 
     missiles.
       The House amendment also contained a provision (sec. 1662) 
     that required the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of 
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff to submit to the congressional 
     defense committees the classified and unclassified 
     declaratory policy of the United States regarding the use of 
     the left-of-launch capability of the United States and how 
     the Secretary and Chairman intend to ensure such capability 
     is a deterrent to attacks by adversaries.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that combines the 
     three provisions into a single provision with technical 
     changes to the former House provision (sec. 1652). The new 
     provision reduces the prohibition on acquisition changes to 
     the Missile Defense Agency to two years, rather than the 
     indefinite period included in the original House provision.
     Maximizing Aegis Ashore capability and developing medium 
         range discrimination radar (sec. 1685)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1654) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a complete 
     evaluation of the optimal anti-air warfare capability for 
     each current Aegis Ashore site and as part of any future 
     deployment by the United States of an Aegis Ashore site. The 
     provision also required the Director of the Missile Defense 
     Agency to notify Congress whether the preferred location for 
     fielding a medium range ballistic missile defense radar for 
     the defense of Hawaii would require an updated environmental 
     impact statement. The Department would also be required to 
     conduct an assessment of the ballistic and air threat against 
     Hawaii and the efficacy of making the Aegis Ashore site at 
     the Pacific Missile Range Facility operational and deploying 
     the preferred alternative for fielding a medium range 
     ballistic missile defense sensor for the defense of Hawaii.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the 
     Secretary of Defense to continue the development, 
     procurement, and deployment of anti-air warfare capabilities 
     at each Aegis Ashore site in Romania and Poland.
       The provision also requires the Director of the Missile 
     Defense Agency, if he determines that an updated 
     environmental impact statement is required for fielding a 
     medium range

[[Page 15194]]

     ballistic missile defense sensor for the defense of Hawaii, 
     to commence such action not later than 60 days after the date 
     of notification.
       With respect to the requirement for an evaluation of the 
     ballistic and air threat to Hawaii and the efficacy of 
     various defensive measures, the conferees note that the 
     Department has already submitted reports addressing the 
     various alternatives and therefore expect the Department only 
     to provide an update.
     Technical authority for integrated air and missile defense 
         activities and programs (sec. 1686)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1655) that 
     would allow the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to 
     seek to have staff detailed to the Missile Defense Agency 
     from the Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated 
     Missile Defense and the Joint Integrated Air and Missile 
     Defense Organization in a number the Director determines 
     necessary.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Hypersonic defense capability development (sec. 1687)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1657) that 
     would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to 
     establish a program of record in the ballistic missile 
     defense system to develop and field a defensive system to 
     defeat hypersonic boost-glide and maneuvering ballistic 
     missiles. A limitation was placed on funding for certain 
     headquarters operations in the Office of the Secretary of 
     Defense until such a program of record is created. A report 
     to Congress on the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) 
     was also required.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct that 
     the Director of the Missile Defense Agency serve as the 
     executive agent for the Department of Defense for the 
     development of a capability to counter hypersonic boost-glide 
     vehicle capabilities and conventional prompt global strike 
     capabilities that may be employed against the U.S., its 
     allies, and U.S. deployed forces, and establish a program of 
     record for such capability not later than September 30, 2017. 
     Reports to Congress must be provided on the architecture and 
     sensors needed to detect hypersonic threats and on the 
     military capabilities and capability gaps related to the 
     threat posed by hypersonic boost-glide vehicles and 
     maneuvering ballistic missiles. The limitation on funds and 
     the MTCR report were removed.
     Conventional Prompt Global Strike weapons system (sec. 1688)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1672) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to make a Milestone A 
     decision for Conventional Prompt Global Strike no later than 
     September 30, 2020, or 8 months after the successful 
     completion of the Intermediate Range Flight 2 test.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1659) that would make no more than 75 percent of funds be 
     obligated or expended for research, development, test, and 
     evaluation, for the conventional prompt global strike until 
     the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff submits to the 
     congressional defense committees a report on warfighter 
     requirements and whether the program schedule supports such 
     requirements.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     two provisions, merging the Senate provision into the House 
     amendment.
     Required testing by Missile Defense Agency of ground-based 
         midcourse defense element of ballistic missile defense 
         system (sec. 1689)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1661) that 
     would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to 
     administer a flight test of the ground-based mid-course 
     defense element of the ballistic missile defense system not 
     less frequently than once each fiscal year and allows certain 
     exceptions.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.
     Iron Dome short-range rocket defense system and Israeli 
         cooperative missile defense program codevelopment and 
         coproduction (sec. 1690)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1662) that 
     would authorize not more than $42.0 million for the Missile 
     Defense Agency to provide to the Government of Israel to 
     procure Tamir interceptors for the Iron Dome short-range 
     rocket defense system through co-production of such 
     interceptors in the United States, including certain 
     conditions.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1653) that would authorize not more than $62.0 million for 
     the Missile Defense Agency to provide to the Government of 
     Israel to procure Tamir interceptors for the Iron Dome short-
     range rocket defense system through coproduction of such 
     interceptors in the United States by industry of the United 
     States, including certain conditions. The House provision 
     would also authorize not more than $150.0 million to procure 
     the David's Sling weapon system and not more than $120.0 
     million for the Arrow 3 Upper Tier interceptor program, 
     including for coproduction of parts and components in the 
     United States, subject to certain certifications.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would combine the 
     two provisions with certain technical corrections and 
     clarifications. The certification concerning the requirement 
     for a bilateral international agreement required by the 
     provision may be waived if the Under Secretary certifies that 
     the funds specified for the David's Sling weapon system and 
     for the Arrow 3 Upper Tier interceptor program are provided 
     to Israel solely for funding the procurement of long-lead 
     components and critical hardware in accordance with a 
     production plan and funding profile detailing Israeli 
     contributions and if the long-lead procurement will be 
     conducted in a manner that does not incur nonrecurring 
     engineering activity or additional cost to United States 
     suppliers. The agreement authorizes $62.0 million to procure 
     Tamir interceptors, the amount prescribed in the House 
     amendment.
     Limitations on availability of funds for lower-tier air and 
         missile defense capability of the Army (sec. 1691)
       The House amendment contained a provision that would limit 
     the obligation or expenditure of fifty percent of the amount 
     authorized to be appropriated in fiscal year 2017 for the 
     Patriot Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense (LTAMDS) 
     capability of the Army until certain conditions are met.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would reduce the 
     limitation to twenty-five percent of the funds authorized to 
     be appropriated for LTAMDS Research, Development, Test and 
     Evaluation (RDT&E). The amendment would also amend the 
     conditions the Department of Defense would need to meet to 
     lift the limitation on funds.
       The conferees note that the amended provision would not 
     require either a Capabilities Development Document in 2017 or 
     Low Rate Initial Production earlier than 2021, nor is it the 
     conferees intent to mandate such actions.
       The conferees agree on the vital importance of the 
     expeditious fielding of a lower tier air and missile defense 
     capability that meets the needs of our warfighters and 
     seamlessly integrates with the nation's other deployed, or 
     planned to be deployed, air and missile defense capabilities.
       The conferees also note the Government Accountability 
     Office's (GAO) recent report on the Army's strategy for 
     modernizing the Patriot missile defense system found that 
     throughput limitations under the Army's current maintenance 
     schedule present an elevated risk of equipment failure. The 
     conferees are concerned that potential delays in modernizing 
     Patriot systems, components, and software will amplify these 
     risks as units continue to train, deploy, and operate legacy 
     Patriot equipment at a high tempo over an extended period.
       Therefore, the conferees direct GAO to assess the Army's 
     Patriot maintenance and recapitalization plans to ensure that 
     operational needs are met. As part of its assessment, the 
     conferees direct the GAO to review whether Patriot units are 
     undergoing sufficient maintenance in between deployments, and 
     the extent to which the Army has identified and assessed 
     options for increasing its maintenance throughput, including 
     associated costs and impacts on Patriot training and 
     operations. The GAO also should assess whether and how the 
     Army plans to mitigate the risk of equipment failure should 
     Patriot modernization efforts be delayed. The GAO shall 
     complete its review and report to congressional defense 
     committees at an agreed upon date.
     Pilot program on loss of unclassified, controlled technical 
         information (sec. 1692)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1660) that 
     would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to 
     carry out a pilot program to implement improvements to the 
     data protection options in the programs of the Missile 
     Defense Agency, particularly with respect to unclassified, 
     controlled technical information and controlled unclassified 
     information.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Plan for procurement of medium-range discrimination radar to 
         improve homeland missile defense (sec. 1693)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1663) that 
     would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to 
     plan to procure a medium range discrimination radar or 
     equivalent sensor to improve homeland missile defense of 
     Hawaii, and to issue a request for proposals for the medium-
     range discrimination radar no later than October 1, 2017.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
     that the Missile Defense Agency shall develop a plan to 
     procure a medium-range discrimination radar or equivalent 
     sensor to improve homeland missile defense for Hawaii and to 
     field such radar or

[[Page 15195]]

     equivalent sensor by not later than December 31, 2021, and

     defense committees not later than 60 days after enactment.
     Review of Missile Defense Agency budget submissions for 
         ground-based midcourse defense and evaluation of 
         alternative ground-based interceptor deployments (sec. 
         1694)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1661) that 
     would require the Director of Cost Assessment and Program 
     Evaluation to submit to the congressional defense committees 
     a report on the modernization requirements for the ground-

     require the Commander of United States Northern Command to 
     certify the level of funding for the ground-based midcourse 
     defense system, and an evaluation of transportable ground-
     based interceptors by the Director of the Missile Defense 
     Agency.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
     certification required by the Commander of United States 
     Northern Command, and make it clear that the industrial base 
     requirements required by the report be those requirements 
     generally understood by the Missile Defense Agency.

     the United States Strategic Command.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
     House provision with a requirement that not later than 10 
     days after the budget of the President for fiscal years 2018 
     and 2019 are submitted to Congress, the Director of the 
     Missile Defense Agency shall submit to the Secretary of 
     Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and to 
     the congressional defense committees, a report on the 
     unfunded priorities of the Missile Defense Agency.

         aircraft (sec. 1697)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1671) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense, and allow the

     the safety or security of a covered facility or asset that 
     is: (1) identified by the Secretary; (2) located in the 
     United States; and (3) related to the nuclear deterrence 
     mission of the Department of Defense (including nuclear 
     command and control, integrated tactical warning and attack 
     assessment, and continuity of government), the missile 
     defense mission of the Department; or the national security 
     space mission of the Department.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
     the Secretary, notwithstanding title 18 of the United States 
     Code, to take actions that are necessary to mitigate the 
     threat (as defined by the Secretary of Defense, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Transportation) that an 
     unmanned aircraft system or unmanned aircraft poses to the 
     safety or security of a covered facility or asset. The 
     amendment would also clarify the actions that would be 
     authorized.
     Harmful interference to Department of Defense Global 
         Positioning System (sec. 1698)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1673) that

     by such operations in such band to Department of Defense 
     Global Positioning System (GPS) devices. The provision would 
     also require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a review of 
     harmful interference of Department of Defense GPS devices and 
     to notify congress if the Secretary determines the existence 
     of widespread harmful interference.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

     would allow for up to half of the funds made available for a 
     replacement space launch propulsion system or new launch 
     vehicle in fiscal years 2016, 2017, or any future fiscal 
     year, be made available for meeting the requirements in 
     connection with United States policy on assured access to 
     space (section 2273(b), title 10, United States Code).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.

         clearances for military intelligence officers
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1621) that 
     would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that each 
     military intelligence officer serving as a unit or service 
     intelligence officer, or in command of an intelligence unit 
     or activity, has an active security clearance.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note with displeasure the recent situation in 
     which an officer serving as the Deputy Chief of Naval 
     Operations for Information Warfare, N2/N6, Office of the 
     Chief of Naval Operations, and Director of Naval 
     Intelligence, was unable to fully perform the duties of the 
     office to which he was appointed, with the advice and consent 
     of the Senate, because his access to classified information 
     was suspended. The conferees expect that in the future every 
     officer serving as a unit or service intelligence officer, or 
     in command of an intelligence unit or activity will have an 
     active security clearance.
     Limitation on availability of funds for intelligence 
         management
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1621) that 
     would limit the amount of authorized funds available to be 
     obligated or expended for intelligence management until the 
     Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence provides a report 
     to the appropriate congressional committees on 
     counterintelligence activities described in the classified 
     annex accompanying this Act.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Sense of Congress on initial operating capability of phase 2 
         of European Phased Adaptive Approach to missile defense
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1666) that 
     would express the Sense of Congress that the United States is 
     committed to the defense of deployed members of the Armed 
     Forces of the United States and to the defense of the 
     European allies of the United States by increasing the 
     ballistic missile defense capability of the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The conferees note that on July 9, 2016, the Heads of State 
     and Government participating in the meeting of the North 
     Atlantic Council in Warsaw, Poland, issued the ``Warsaw 
     Summit Communique.'' In that document, the Heads of State and 
     Government stated that:
       ``At our Summit in Chicago in 2012, we declared the 
     achievement of an Interim NATO BMD Capability as an 
     operationally significant first step. At the Wales Summit, we 
     welcomed the forward deployment of BMD-capable Aegis ships to 
     Rota, Spain that could be made available to NATO. Today a new 
     milestone in the development of NATO BMD has been reached and 
     we are pleased to declare the achievement of the NATO BMD 
     Initial Operational Capability. This is a significant step 
     toward the aim of NATO BMD that offers a stronger capability 
     to defend our populations, territory, and forces across 
     southern NATO Europe against a potential ballistic missile 
     attack. The Aegis Ashore site in Deveselu, Romania represents 
     a significant portion of this increase in capability, and the 
     command and control (C2) of the Aegis Ashore site is being 
     transferred to NATO. We also welcome that Turkey hosts a 
     forward-based early-warning BMD radar at Kurecik and that 
     Poland will be hosting an Aegis Ashore site at the Redzikowo 
     military base. We are also pleased that additional voluntary 
     national contributions have been offered by Allies, and we 
     encourage further voluntary contributions, all of which will 
     add robustness to the capability.''
       The Communique further stated that, ``NATO missile defence 
     is not directed against Russia and will not undermine 
     Russia's strategic deterrence capabilities. NATO missile 
     defence is intended to defend against potential threats 
     emanating from outside the Euro-Atlantic area.''
       The House recedes.
     Pilot program on application of consequence-driven, cyber-
         informed engineering to mitigate against cyber-security 
         threats
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1634) that 
     would authorize the Secretary of Defense, in coordination 
     with the secretaries of the military departments, to carry 
     out a pilot program to assess the feasibility and 
     advisability of applying consequence-driven,

[[Page 15196]]

     cyber-informed engineering methodologies to military 
     installation operating technologies, including industrial 
     control systems, to increase resilience against cybersecurity 
     threats.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
       The conferees note that elsewhere in the conference 
     agreement there is a requirement for the Secretary of Defense 
     to conduct a pilot program to assess the feasibility and 
     advisability of applying, innovative methodologies or 
     engineering approaches to improve the defense of control 
     systems against cyber attacks in order to increase the 
     resilience of military installations against cybersecurity 
     threats and prevent or mitigate the potential for high-
     consequence cyberattacks, and to inform future requirements 
     development for such systems.

         Title XVII--Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act

     Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act (secs. 1701-1707)
       The House amendment contained a number of provisions (sec. 
     7301-7306) that would honor the suffering and loyalty of the 
     residents of Guam during its occupation by Imperial Japanese 
     forces during the Second World War and direct the federal 
     government to adjudicate and facilitate the claims of 
     compensable Guam victims and survivors of compensable Guam 
     decedents.
       Specifically, the House amendment contained a provision 
     (sec. 7302) that would express the eternal gratitude of the 
     United States to the residents of Guam for their loyalty and 
     courage under threat of death and great bodily harm at the 
     hands of occupying forces. It also contained a provision that 
     would direct the Secretary of the Treasury to establish a 
     special fund for the payment of claims to compensable Guam 
     victims and their survivors (sec. 7303), a provision that 
     would require the Secretary of the Treasury to compensate 
     compensable victims and survivors of compensable Guam 
     decedents following certification from the Foreign Claims 
     Settlement Commission (sec. 7304), and a provision that would 
     direct the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission to adjudicate 
     claims and to determine eligibility for claims under the 
     aforementioned section 7304 (sec. 7305). Finally, it 
     contained a provision that would direct the Secretary of the 
     Interior to establish a grant program designed to educate and 
     to memorialize the occupation of Guam while honoring the 
     loyalty of its inhabitants (sec. 7306) and a provision that 
     would authorize appropriations for the aforementioned 
     sections 7304 and 7305 for any fiscal year beginning after 
     the date of the enactment, with $5,000,000 authorized per 
     fiscal year for section 7306 (sec. 7307).
       The Senate bill contained no similar provisions.
       The Senate recedes.

      Title XVIII--Matters Relating to Small Business Procurement

  Subtitle A--Improving Transparency and Clarity for Small Businesses

     Plain language rewrite of requirements for small business 
         procurements (sec. 1801)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1801) that 
     would amend section 15(a) of the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 644(a)) to revise existing statute by better 
     organizing the section and modernizing the terms consistent 
     with those in titles 10 and 41, United States Code.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Transparency in small business goals (sec. 1802)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1803) that 
     would amend section 15(h) of the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 644(h)) to require the Administrator of the General 
     Services Administration to issue an annual report on the 
     share of total contract value awarded to small businesses.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

      Subtitle B--Clarifying the Roles of Small Business Advocates

     Scope of review by procurement center representatives (sec. 
         1811)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 884) that would 
     codify for Department of Defense contracts the longstanding 
     exemption contained in Federal Acquisition Regulation 
     19.000(b) that small business set-asides are not applied to 
     overseas contracts.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     1811) that would amend section 15(l) of the Small Business 
     Act (15 U.S.C. 644(l)) to reverse a regulatory change made by 
     the Small Business Administration during enactment of the 
     Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-240) and to 
     ensure that procurement center representatives review 
     consolidated contracts or task orders that are fully or 
     partially set aside or reserved for small business.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
     that procurement center representatives of the Small Business 
     Administration shall not review contracts awarded pursuant to 
     status of forces agreements or contracts of the Department of 
     Defense awarded and performed overseas. The amendment also 
     would stipulate that contracts excluded from procurement 
     center representative review shall not be included in any 
     calculation of the Department's attainment of the small 
     business goals established in 15(g) of the Small Business Act 
     (15 USC 644(g)).
     Duties of the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business 
         Utilization (sec. 1812)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1813) that 
     would amend section 15(k) of the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 644(k)) to revise the duties of the Offices of Small 
     and Disadvantaged Business Utilization in Federal agencies. 
     The offices would be authorized to provide assistance to 
     service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and 
     participants in the Historically Underutilized Business Zone 
     program which are not included in the current list of small 
     business programs. The offices also would review annual 
     summaries of Government credit card purchases to ensure 
     compliance with the Small Business Act.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Improving contractor compliance (sec. 1813)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1814) that 
     would amend sections 15 and 45 of the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 644 and 15 U.S.C. 657r), and section 831(e)1(1) of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991 
     (Public Law 101-510), to promote the availability of existing 
     programs that assist small contractors attempting to comply 
     with Federal regulations. The Small Business Administration 
     would develop a list of no-cost compliance assistance 
     programs for small contractors which would be distributed 
     through the Small Business Administration and Federal agency 
     small-business offices to small contractors. This section 
     would also require that any mentor-protege agreement approved 
     by the Small Business Administration or the Department of 
     Defense address the provision of compliance assistance to the 
     protege firm.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Improving education on small business regulations (sec. 1814)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1861) that 
     would amend section 15 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
     644) to require the Small Business Administration to annually 
     share a list of regulatory changes affecting small-business 
     contracting with entities responsible for training 
     acquisition personnel, such as the Federal Acquisition 
     Institute and the Defense Acquisition University, and to 
     entities providing technical assistance to small contractors. 
     This section would also require that the applicable entities 
     periodically update training materials.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.

      Subtitle C--Strengthening Opportunities for Competition in 
                             Subcontracting

     Good faith in subcontracting (sec. 1821)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1821) that 
     would amend section 8(d) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
     637(d)) to improve compliance with subcontracting 
     requirements.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Pilot program to provide opportunities for qualified 
         subcontractors to obtain past performance ratings (sec. 
         1822)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1822) that 
     would establish a 3-year pilot program in which small, first-
     tier subcontractors could obtain past performance credit from 
     the Small Business Administration.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment that would establish a 
     deadline by which small business concerns must submit 
     requests for a past performance rating.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure 
     that the Department of Defense, its components, and the 
     Services are providing timely evaluations of past performance 
     and giving due credit to the evaluations previously 
     conducted, even those conducted by a different component, 
     Service, or agency, consistent with current law and 
     regulation. No later than 60 days after enactment of the 
     National Defense Authorization for Fiscal Year 2017, the 
     conferees direct the Secretary to provide a briefing to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives on the Department's progress meeting these 
     objectives.
     Amendments to the Mentor-Protege Program of the Department of 
         Defense (sec. 1823)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1831) that 
     would amend section 831 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 1991 (Public Law 101-510), to require the 
     Small Business Administration to determine whether a 
     prospective protege firm is affiliated with its proposed 
     mentor prior to approval of a mentor-protege agreement. The 
     same requirement would be removed from the Department of 
     Defense.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.

[[Page 15197]]

       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment that would 
     better organize the eligibility requirements. The conferees 
     note that the changes in this provision will allow for 
     determinations of small business status to be made in the 
     same manner as such determinations are for purposes of 
     federal contracting. The change does not alter the 
     Department's control of its mentor-protege program, nor the 
     statutory provision that prohibits the Small Business 
     Administration from considering support provided by a mentor 
     to a protege firm under this program as evidence of 
     affiliation. However, the provision would prevent instances 
     of confusion, and the potential for fraud, by preventing 
     competing determinations of small business status.

                  Subtitle D--Miscellaneous Provisions

     Improvements to size standards for small agricultural 
         producers (sec. 1831)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1863) that 
     would amend section 18(b) of the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 647(b)) to revise the definition of an agricultural 
     enterprise. This section would also amend section 3(a) of the 
     Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(a)) to authorize the Small 
     Business Administration to establish different size standards 
     for various types of agricultural enterprises. Size standards 
     would be established according to the existing method and 
     appeals process by which the Small Business Administration 
     establishes other size standards.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Uniformity in service-disabled veteran definitions (sec. 
         1832)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1864) that 
     would amend section 3(q) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
     632(q)) and section 8127 of title 38, United States Code, to 
     standardize definitions for veteran-owned small businesses 
     (VOSBs) and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses 
     (SDVOSBs). This section would also require the Secretary of 
     Veterans Affairs to use the regulations established by the 
     Small Business Administration for establishing ownership and 
     control of VOSBs and SDVOSBs. The Secretary would continue to 
     determine whether individuals are veterans or service-
     disabled veterans and would be responsible for verification 
     of applicant firms. Challenges to the status of a VOSB or 
     SDVOSB based upon issues of ownership or control would be 
     decided by the administrative judges at the Office of 
     Hearings and Appeals of the Small Business Administration. 
     This section would not affect the Department of Defense.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Office of Hearings and Appeals (sec. 1833)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1866) that 
     would amend sections 3(a) and 5(i) of the Small Business Act 
     (15 U.S.C. 632(a) and 15 U.S.C. 634(i)) to clarify that the 
     Office of Hearings and Appeals will not hear appeals on 
     programs not found in the Small Business Act. This section 
     also would allow a grace period for appeals that occur before 
     the Small Business Administration implements the requirements 
     of this section.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes.
     Extension of SBIR and STTR programs (sec. 1834)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 874) that would 
     amend sections 9(m) and 9(n)(1) of the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 638(m)) in order to make the Small Business Innovation 
     Research (SBIR) program and the Small Business Technology 
     Transfer (STTR) program at the Department of Defense 
     permanent.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the 
     programs government-wide for an additional 5 years.
     Issuance of guidance on small business matters (sec. 1835)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1867) that 
     would require the Administrator of the Small Business 
     Administration to issue guidance with respect to the changes 
     to the Small Business Act made in this title.
       The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment that would 
     provide a timeline for implementing guidance by the 
     Department of Veterans Affairs.

     Subtitle E--Improving Cyber Preparedness for Small Businesses

     Small Business Development Center Cyber Strategy and outreach 
         (sec. 1841)
       The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1869A) that 
     would amend section 227 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002

                 Title XXI--Army Military Construction

     Summary
       The budget request included authorization of appropriations 
     of $503.5 million for military construction and $526.7 
     million for family housing for the Army in fiscal year 2017.
       The conference agreement includes authorization of 
     appropriations of $553.9 million for military construction 
     and $483.2 million for family housing for the Army in fiscal 
     year 2017.
       The agreement includes authorization for three projects 
     from the Army's unfunded requirements list: $10.6 million for 
     a Company Operations Facility at Fort Gordon, Georgia; $6.9 
     million for a Fire Station at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri; 
     and $23.0 million for a Vehicle Maintenance Shop at Fort 
     Belvoir, Virginia.
       The conferees note that the budget request included $143.6 
     million for Family Housing New Construction at Camp 
     Humphries, Republic of Korea. Furthermore, the conferees are 
     aware that this is the first phase of proposed military 
     family housing construction at Camp Humphries, with a $153.0 
     million second phase planned for fiscal year 2019. Given the 
     requirements that have been established by the Commander of 
     U.S. Forces Korea to house command sponsored families on 
     installation and the timelines for the relocation of U.S. 
     Forces Korea and Eighth Army to Camp Humphries, the conferees 
     believe that combining the two phases into a single project 
     will result in efficiencies in terms of the financial cost of 
     the project and the construction timeline. Therefore, the 
     agreement recommends a total authorization of $297.0 million 
     for Family Housing New Construction at Camp Humphries, 
     Republic of Korea. However, the conferees support the 
     authorization of appropriations for fiscal year 2017 only in 
     an amount equivalent to the ability of the military 
     department to execute in the year of authorization of 
     appropriations. Therefore, the agreement recommends $100.0 
     million, a reduction of $43.6 million, for this project in 
     fiscal year 2017.
       In addition, the conference agreement authorizes $35.0 
     million for the Army's unspecified minor construction 
     program, an increase of $10.0 million above the budget 
     request.

     would authorize appropriations for the active component 
     military construction and family housing projects of the Army

     provision would also provide an overall limit on the amount 
     authorized for military construction and family housing 
     projects for the active component of the Army.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     2103).

     2104).

     would extend the authorization contained in section 2101 of 
     the Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year

     until October 1, 2017, or the date of the enactment of an Act 
     authorizing funds for military construction for fiscal year 
     2018, whichever is later.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     2106).
       The House recedes.

                 Title XXII--Navy Military Construction

     Summary
       The budget request included authorization of appropriations 
     of $1.03 billion for military construction and $394.9 million 
     for family housing for the Navy and Marine Corps in fiscal 
     year 2017.
       The conference agreement includes authorization of 
     appropriations of $1.2 billion for military construction and 
     $394.9 million for family housing for the Navy and Marine 
     Corps in fiscal year 2017.
       The conference agreement includes authorization for two 
     projects from the Navy's unfunded requirements list unfunded 
     requirements list: $27.0 million for Chambers Field Magazine 
     Recap Phase 1 at Norfolk, Virginia, and $73.0 million for 
     SEAWOLF Class Service Pier at Bangor, Washington.
       The agreement includes authorization for three projects 
     from the Marine Corp's unfunded requirements list: $118.9 
     million for an Aircraft Maintenance Hangar Increment 1 at 
     Miramar, California; $34.7 million for a Communication 
     Complex & Infrastructure Upgrade at Miramar, California; 
     $40.0 million for F-35 Parking Apron at Miramar, California. 
     With respect to the Aircraft Maintenance Hangar, we support 
     the authorization for appropriations in an amount equivalent 
     to the ability of the military department to execute in the 
     year of the authorization for appropriations. For this 
     project, the conferees believe that the Department of the 
     Navy has exceeded its ability to fully expend the funding 
     requested for fiscal year 2017. As such, the agreement 
     recommends incremental funding with an authorization of 
     appropriations in the amount of $79.4 million, a reduction of 
     $39.5 million, for this project. Furthermore, the conferees 
     note that these three projects at Miramar were included in 
     the Marine Corps' unfunded requirements list due to a late 
     development and the need to align F-35C squadron operational 
     dates with plans to stand up the first F-35C compatible 
     aircraft carrier on the west coast of the United States.

     Negative policy announced in 2011, or the process that will 
     be used to identify and transfer such lands. Specifically, 
     the conferees are concerned by the ambiguity regarding the 
     status of lands identified for return prior to the 
     announcement of the Net Negative policy, such as Guam Land 
     Use Plan of 1977, which were not originally identified for 
     inclusion in the calculation of lands under the Net Negative 
     policy.

     appropriations of $2.03 billion for military construction and 
     $62.4 million for family housing for the defense agencies in 
     fiscal year 2017.
       The budget request included $10.0 million for contingency 
     construction at various world-wide locations. The conferees 
     note that the Department of Defense has not requested a

     activities. The

[[Page 15201]]

     activities, a reduction of $10.0 million, and $23.5 million 
     for Defense Wide Military Construction Planning and Design 
     activities, an increase of $10.0 million, to reflect the 
     inclusion of the Energy Conservation Investment Program as 
     part of the Defense Wide Military Construction program.
       The budget request included $71.6 million for the National

     National Geospatial Intelligence Agency would be unable to 
     execute the full amount requested for Military Construction 
     Planning and Design activities in fiscal year 2017. 
     Therefore, the agreement recommends $36.0 million, a 
     reduction of $35.6 million, for this program.
       In addition, the agreement recommends an increase of 
     funding for a military construction project not included in 
     the budget request, $15.0 million for the Missile Defense 
     Agency Military Construction Planning and Design activities 
     for an East Coast site for homeland missile defense.

       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 3101) that

       The Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Security 
     Administration (NNSA) is pursuing a revised strategy for its 
     Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Replacement (CMRR) project 
     after spending $500.0 million on the design of the original 
     project and cancelling the Nuclear Facility subproject in 
     2014. The revised project, which is now broken down into 4 
     subprojects, includes renovating two existing facilities, the 
     RLUOB and the PF-4 facility, at NNSA's Los Alamos site and 
     installing plutonium research equipment in those facilities 
     to support NNSA's plutonium pit production and defense 
     plutonium work in the near term. NNSA is also studying the 
     possibility that, in the future, it may need to expand the 
     capacity for plutonium chemistry and research beyond that 
     provided by the 4 subprojects. In addition, NNSA is looking 
     at a modular approach of constructing one or more identical 
     buildings to support future plutonium pit manufacturing 
     requirements beyond what can be currently produced in PF-4. 
     In accordance with DOE Order 413.3B and the Secretary's 
     guidance on project management, NNSA is currently conducting 
     an analysis of alternatives for the proposed modular 
     approach.
       The conferees are pleased that NNSA has adopted a strategy 
     that maximizes the space within existing facilities to the 
     greatest extent practicable while continuing to examine 
     options to support future work. However, while the conferees 
     recognize the complexity and importance of the CMRR project 
     and defense-related plutonium activities in general, the 
     conferees remain concerned that NNSA has not adequately 
     estimated the cost and schedule, nor properly specified 
     project requirements, for either the CMRR project or the 
     proposed modular approach to ensure that the two projects 
     together will provide the capabilities needed to support 
     NNSA's plutonium strategy, including legislatively directed 
     pit production levels.
       To enable the conferees to monitor any future cost 
     increases and schedule delays associated with these projects, 
     the conferees direct NNSA to brief the congressional defense 
     committees, no later than October 1, 2017, on the status of 
     its actions taken to address the recommendations contained 
     within a recent Government Accountability Office report 
     numbered GAO-16-585 and titled ``DOE Project Management: NNSA 
     Needs to Clarify Requirements for Its Plutonium Analysis 
     Project at Los Alamos''. This briefing should be accompanied 
     by a written briefing document.
       This briefing should clarify the relationship between the 
     requirements for the CMRR project and the proposed modular 
     approach and NNSA's plutonium strategy. The briefing should 
     identify any gaps between the capabilities these projects 
     will deliver and the requirements of the plutonium strategy 
     and provide information on NNSA plans to address any such 
     gaps. The briefing should also address the degree to which 
     these projects can provide plutonium capabilities to support 
     other DOE activities outside of the Office of Defense 
     Programs. Finally, the briefing should provide an update on 
     the analysis of alternatives for the proposed modular 
     approach, including the specific requirements identified, the 
     analysis conducted for each alternative identified, and the 
     proposed path forward, if known.

     system; while leveraging CAPE where appropriate; and ensure 
     the reports required on progress of implementation include 
     discussion of benefits, costs and challenges related to 
     implementation.
       The conferees note that the intention of this provision is 
     not to enforce a single financial accounting system upon the 
     various management and operating contractors of the nuclear 
     security enterprise. Instead, this provision seeks, to the 
     extent practicable, commonality and consistency in the way

     improving mission performance and effectiveness in the 
     purposes of the committee established by this section; modify 
     the termination date for the committee to 2021; and make 
     other technical conforming changes. The conferees note that 
     industry best practices may not always be applicable, 
     especially in the case of high-hazard and nuclear operations, 
     and do not intend any changes that would reduce or undermine 
     health, safety or security at National Nuclear Security 
     Administration sites.

     the congressional defense committees every 180 days shall 
     terminate upon submission of the materials required in 
     subsection (f) paragraph (2). The National Academies shall 
     provide to the State of Washington both the analysis and the 
     review in draft form, with an opportunity to comment on them 
     for a period of not less than 60 days, and comments of the 
     State of Washington shall be included in the Secretary's 
     submission to the congressional defense committees of the 
     analysis, review, and Secretary's comments. This section 
     shall not conflict with or impair the obligation of the 
     Secretary to comply with the amended consent decree in 
     Washington v. Moniz, No. 2:08-CV-5085-RMP (E.D. Wash.) or the 
     Hanford Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order, nor 
     shall this section conflict with or impair the regulatory 
     authority of the State of Washington under the Solid Waste 
     Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.) and any corresponding 
     State law. The amendment removes the requirement of a 
     specific analytical approach. However, the conferees note 
     that section 3161 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
     for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) directs the use of 
     national international standards and nuclear industry best 
     practices, including probabilistic or quantitative risk 
     assessment if sufficient data exist, while maintaining 
     adequate health and safety protection, at facilities of the 
     Office of Environmental Management of the Department of 
     Energy. The conferees therefore expect that, to the extent 
     practicable and appropriate, the analysis shall be conducted 
     using state-of-the-art risk assessment practices such as 
     probabilistic risk assessment.

     6003).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Conforming amendment relating to military magistrates (sec. 
         5104)

     of officials whose fitness to perform duties shall be subject 
     to investigation and disposition under regulations prescribed 
     by the President.

     also modify Article 6b, UCMJ, to incorporate procedures on 
     defense counsel interviews of victims of sex-related offenses

     rights provisions.

     military justice practice regarding the arrest or confinement 
     of an individual who is charged with an offense under the

     (Article 12, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     limit the prohibition on confining military members with 
     foreign nationals to situations where the foreign nationals

     for a judge-alone trial by special court-martial, with 
     confinement limited to 6 months or less, as reflected in the 
     proposed changes to Article 19, UCMJ.

     (Article 19, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     conform to the proposal in Article 16, UCMJ, that would 
     authorize special courts-martial to be referred for trial by 
     military judge-alone, and to authorize a military judge to 
     designate a military magistrate to preside over trials, and 
     to conform to current practice requiring a military judge, 
     qualified defense counsel, and a recorder at every special 
     court-martial.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     6303).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Summary court-martial as non-criminal forum (sec. 5164)

     (Article 20, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) by 
     adding a new subsection defining the summary court-martial as 
     a non-criminal forum and clarifying that a finding of guilty 
     at a summary court-martial does not constitute a criminal 
     conviction.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     6304).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.

                Title LV--Composition of Courts-Martial

     Technical amendment relating to persons authorized to convene 
         general courts-martial (sec. 5181)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5181) that 
     would amend section 822 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 22, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) by 
     removing the words ``in chief'' to reflect the current 
     terminology for the commander of a naval fleet.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     6401).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Who may serve on courts-martial and related matters (sec. 
         5182)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5182) that 
     would amend section 825 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 25, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     permit convening authorities to detail enlisted personnel to 
     court-martial panels, subject to the accused's ability to 
     specifically elect an all-officer panel, under the same rules 
     and procedures with which an accused may elect one-third 
     enlisted panel membership; to remove the statutory 
     prohibition against detailing enlisted members to courts-
     martial who are from the same unit as an enlisted accused; 
     and to conform to the proposed amendments to Article 29, 
     UCMJ, concerning impaneling of members.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6402).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would establish 
     that sentencing in courts-martial in which members convict 
     the accused for any offense would be by military judge alone 
     unless, after the findings are announced and before any 
     matter is presented in the sentencing phase, the accused 
     requests sentencing by members. The amendment retains the 
     requirement for sentencing by members in capital cases for 
     which the court-martial may sentence the accused to death.
       The Department of Defense Military Justice Review Group 
     recommended that sentencing should be by military judge alone 
     in all cases except in capital cases for which the court-
     martial may sentence the accused to death. There may be non-
     capital cases in which an accused prefers that his or her 
     sentence should be determined by members. The conferees 
     determined that it would be appropriate to allow an accused 
     found guilty by a court-martial with a military judge and 
     members the option to select members for sentencing. The 
     conferees further direct that the Military Justice Review 
     Panel established elsewhere in this Act shall gather and 
     analyze data on the frequency and sentencing outcomes in non-
     capital cases in which an accused requests sentencing by 
     members and to include this information in the report to the 
     Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives required under this Act.
     Number of court-martial members in capital cases (sec. 5183)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5183) that 
     would amend section 825a of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 25a, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     require a fixed-size panel of twelve members in capital 
     cases.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     6403).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Detailing, qualifications, and other matters relating to 
         military judges (sec. 5184)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5184) that 
     would amend section 826 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 26, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     conform the section to the current practice of detailing a 
     military judge to every general and special court-martial; to 
     provide for cross-service detailing of military judges; to 
     require a chief trial judge in each armed force; and to 
     provide appropriate criteria for service as a military judge. 
     The provision would also authorize the President to establish 
     uniform regulations concerning minimum tour lengths for 
     military judges with provisions for early reassignment as 
     necessary.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6404).
       The House recedes.
     Military magistrates (sec. 5185)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5178) that 
     would amend chapter 47 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     add a new section 826a (Article 26a of the Uniform Code of 
     Military Justice (UCMJ)) to establish the minimum 
     qualifications for military magistrates, and to provide that 
     military magistrates may be assigned under service 
     regulations to perform duties other than those described 
     under Articles 19 and 30a.

[[Page 15316]]

       The House amendment contained a similar provision.
       The House recedes (sec. 6407).
     Qualifications of trial counsel and defense counsel (sec. 
         5186)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5185) that 
     would amend section 827 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 27, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     provide that an individual who has served as a preliminary 
     hearing officer, court member, military judge, military 
     magistrate, or appellate judge on a case may not later serve 
     as trial counsel on that case. The provision would require 
     that all defense counsel detailed to general or special 
     courts-martial must be qualified under Article 27(b), and all 
     trial counsel and assistant trial counsel detailed to special 
     courts-martial, and all assistant trial counsel detailed to 
     general courts-martial, must be determined to be competent to 
     perform such duties under regulations prescribed by the 
     President. The provision would also require, to the greatest 
     extent practicable, at least one defense counsel detailed for 
     a court-martial in a case in which the death penalty may be 
     adjudged shall be learned in the law applicable to capital 
     cases.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6405).
       The House recedes.
     Assembly and impaneling of members and related matters (sec. 
         5187)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5186) that 
     would amend section 829 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 29, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     clarify the function of assembly and impanelment in general 
     and special courts-martial with members, and the limited 
     situations in which members may be absent from the court-
     martial after assembly; to provide for the impaneling of 12 
     members in a capital general court-martial, 8 members in a 
     non-capital general court-martial, and 4 members in a special 
     court-martial; to authorize (but not require) the convening 
     authority to direct the use of alternate members; and to 
     authorize non-capital general courts-martial to proceed with 
     a minimum of 6 members if one or more members are excused for 
     good cause after the members have been impaneled. It would 
     further amend Article 29 to clarify that a newly-detailed 
     court-martial member or military judge may consider the 
     record of previously admitted evidence through the use of an 
     electronic or other similar recording.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6406).
       The House recedes.

     Charges and specifications (sec. 5201)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5201) that 
     would amend section 830 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 30, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     reorganize the section into three subsections: (a) to provide 
     the mode of preferring charges and specifications and the 
     oath requirement; (b) to provide the required statement of 
     the person who signs the charges; and (c) to prescribe the 
     duty of a proper authority to notify the accused of the 
     charges and to dispose of them in the interest of justice and 
     discipline. The provision would amend Article 30 to clarify 
     the sequence of the notification and disposition requirements 
     and to require that both actions take place as soon as 
     practicable.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     6501).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Certain proceedings conducted before referral (sec. 5202)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5202) that 
     would amend chapter 47 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     add a new section 830a (Article 30a of the Uniform Code of 
     Military Justice (UCMJ)) to provide statutory authority for 
     military judges or magistrates to provide timely review, 
     prior to referral of charges, of certain matters currently

     analysis of information that will be useful in fulfilling the 
     statutory responsibilities of the staff judge advocate, in 
     providing legal determinations and a disposition 
     recommendation to the convening authority under Article 34; 
     and to assist the convening authority, in disposing of the 
     charges and specifications in the interest of justice and 
     discipline.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6502).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would include as a 
     purpose of the preliminary hearing a recommendation as to the

     the requirement for prompt forwarding of charges in cases 
     involving pretrial arrest or confinement from Article 33 to 
     Article 10. The provision would require the Secretary of 
     Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland 
     Security, to establish non-binding guidance regarding factors 
     that commanders, convening authorities, staff judge 
     advocates, and judge advocates may take into account when 
     exercising their duties with respect to disposition of 
     charges and specifications in the interest of justice and

     advice under Article 34 and the general standard for

       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Sessions (sec. 5222)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5222) that 
     would amend section 839 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 39, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     establish uniform requirements for arraignment by a military 
     judge and to eliminate references to courts-martial without a 
     military judge, and to conform to the provision under Article 
     53 to authorize judicial sentencing in all non-capital 
     general courts-martial and all special courts-martial.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6602).
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to conform to the 
     provision under Article 25, UCMJ, as amended in a separate 
     provision in this Act, that would provide an accused the 
     option to request sentencing by members.

     judge, and to clarify that the authority to grant 
     continuances extends to summary courts-martial.

     6603).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Conforming amendments relating to challenges (sec. 5224)

     concerning fixed panel sizes and to eliminate special courts-
     martial without a military judge.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6604).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Statute of limitations (sec. 5225)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5225) that 
     would amend section 843 of title 10,

[[Page 15317]]

     United States Code, (Article 43, Uniform Code of Military 
     Justice (UCMJ)) to extend the statute of limitations 
     applicable to child abuse offenses from the current 5 years 
     or the life of the child, whichever is longer, to 10 years or 
     life of the child, whichever is longer. The provision would 
     extend the statute of limitations for Article 83 fraudulent 
     enlistment cases from 5 years to: (1) the length of the 
     enlistment, in the case of enlisted members; (2) the length 
     of the appointment, in the case of officers; or (3) 5 years, 
     whichever is longer. The provision would extend the statute 
     of limitations when DNA testing implicates an identified 
     person in the commission of an offense by excluding periods 
     prior to the DNA identification in computing the period of 
     limitations.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6605).

     Former jeopardy (sec. 5226)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5226) that 
     would amend section 844 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 44, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to more 
     closely align double jeopardy protections under the UCMJ with 
     federal civilian practice.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     6606).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Pleas of the accused (sec. 5227)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5227) that 
     would amend section 845 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 45, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     permit an accused to plead guilty in capital cases where a 
     sentence of death is not mandatory. The provision would 
     delete the reference to a court-martial without a military 
     judge. The provision would eliminate the need for separate 
     service regulations authorizing entry of findings upon 
     acceptance of a guilty plea. The provision would add a new 
     subsection to provide for harmless error review in guilty 
     plea cases.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6607).
       The House recedes.

       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5228) that 
     would amend section 846 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 46, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     clarify the authority to issue and enforce subpoenas for 
     witnesses and other evidence, to allow subpoenas duces tecum 
     to be issued for investigations of offenses under the UCMJ 
     when authorized by a general court-martial convening 
     authority, and to authorize military judges to issue warrants 
     and orders for the production of stored electronic 
     communications under the Stored Communications Act (sections 
     2701-2712 of chapter 121, title 18, United States Code).
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize a 
     military judge to issue an investigative subpoena before 
     referral of charges to a court-martial.
     Refusal of person not subject to UCMJ to appear, testify, or 
         produce evidence (sec. 5229)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5229) that 
     would amend section 847 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 47, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     provide that a person not subject to the UCMJ who fails to 
     comply with military subpoenas issued under Article 46, UCMJ, 
     is guilty of an offense against the United States.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes.
     Contempt (sec. 5230)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5230) that 
     would amend section 848 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 48, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     authorize the contempt power for military judges and military 
     magistrates detailed to pre-referral proceedings under the 
     proposed Article 30a. The provision would also clarify that 
     judges on the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed 
     Forces and the service courts of criminal appeals do not have 
     to be detailed to cases or proceedings in order to exercise 
     the contempt power under this article. The provision would 
     clarify that the president (as opposed to the judge) of a 
     court of inquiry is vested with the contempt power, and would 
     provide for appellate review of contempt punishments 
     consistent with the review of other orders and judgments 
     under the UCMJ.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6608).
       The House recedes with an amendment that would exclude 
     commissioned officers detailed as a summary court-martial 
     from the officials authorized to punish a person for 
     contempt.
     Depositions (sec. 5231)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5231) that 
     would amend section 849 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 49, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     conform the UCMJ with the language and function of Federal 
     Rule of Criminal Procedure 15(a)(1), and to move the 
     procedural aspects of Article 49 to Rules for Courts-Martial 
     702. The provision would clarify that a convening authority 
     or a military judge may order depositions only if the 
     requesting party demonstrates that, due to exceptional 
     circumstances, it is in the interest of justice that the 
     testimony of a prospective witness be preserved for use at a 
     court-martial, military commission, court of inquiry, or 
     other military court or board. The provision would clarify 
     parties who may request a deposition, and require that, 
     whenever practicable, depositions be taken before an 
     impartial judge advocate. The provision would provide that: 
     (1) representation of the parties with respect to a 
     deposition shall be by counsel detailed in the same manner as 
     trial counsel and defense counsel are detailed under Article 
     27; and (2) the accused shall have the right to be 
     represented by civilian or military counsel in the same 
     manner as such counsel are provided for in Article 38(b). The 
     provision would clarify situations in which depositions may 
     be used in military proceedings with a more direct reference 
     to the military rules of evidence. The provision would amend 
     the section to provide that testimony by deposition may be 
     presented in capital cases only by the defense.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     6609).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Admissibility of sworn testimony by audiotape or videotape 
         from records of courts of inquiry (sec. 5232)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5232) that 
     would amend section 850 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 50, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     authorize sworn testimony from a court of inquiry to be 
     played, in addition to read, into evidence in courts-martial 
     and military commissions not established under section 948a, 
     et seq., of title 10, United States Code, when it is 
     otherwise admissible under the rules of evidence.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6610).
       The House recedes.
     Conforming amendment relating to defense of lack of mental 
         responsibility (sec. 5233)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5233) that 
     would amend section 850a of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 50a, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     delete provisions pertaining to courts-martial without a 
     military judge.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     6611).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Voting and rulings (sec. 5234)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5234) that 
     would amend section 851 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 51, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     delete references pertaining to courts-martial without a 
     military judge.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     6612).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Votes required for conviction, sentencing, and other matters 
         (sec. 5235)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5235) that 
     would amend section 852 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 52, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     require concurrence of at least three-fourths of the members 
     present, and to require concurrence of at least three-fourths 
     of the members present on offenses in a case referred for 
     trial as a capital case where there was not a unanimous 
     finding of guilty. The provision would eliminate the language 
     concerning tie votes on challenges, motions, and other 
     questions, which is applicable only to special courts-martial 
     without a military judge, and which would no longer be 
     necessary given the provision in Article 16, UCMJ, that would 
     eliminate these members-only courts-martial.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     6613).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Findings and sentencing (sec. 5236)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5236) that 
     would amend section 853 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 53, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     require sentencing by a military judge in all non-capital 
     general and special courts-martial. The provision would 
     require that, in cases where the accused may be sentenced to 
     death, the members shall participate in the sentence 
     determination.
       The House amendment contained no similar provision.
       The House recedes with an amendment to conform to the 
     provision under Article 25, UCMJ, as amended in a separate 
     provision in this Act, that would provide an accused the 
     option to request sentencing by members.
     Plea agreements (sec. 5237)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5237) that 
     would amend chapter 47 of title 10, United States Code to add 
     a new section 853a (Article 53a, Uniform Code of Military 
     Justice (UCMJ)) that would authorize: (1) construction and 
     negotiation of charge and sentence agreements; (2) military 
     judges to determine whether to accept a proposed plea

[[Page 15318]]

     agreement; and (3) the operation of sentence agreements with 
     respect to the military judge's sentencing authority. The new 
     Article 53a would provide that the military judge shall 
     accept any lawful sentence agreement submitted by the 
     parties, except that: (1) in the case of an offense with a 
     sentencing parameter under Article 56, the military judge may 
     reject the agreement only if it proposes a sentence that is 
     both outside the sentencing parameter and plainly 
     unreasonable; and (2) in the case of an offense without a 
     sentencing parameter, the military judge may reject the 
     agreement only if it proposes a sentence that is plainly 
     unreasonable.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6614) that did not include the authority for the military 
     judge to reject a sentencing provision that the military 
     judge determines is plainly unreasonable.
       The Senate recedes.
     Record of trial (sec. 5238)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5238) that 
     would amend section 854 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 54, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     require certification of the record by a court reporter. The 
     provision would require a complete record in any general or 
     special court-martial if the sentence includes death, 
     dismissal, discharge, or confinement or forfeitures of pay 
     for more than 6 months. The provision would provide all 
     victims who testify at a court-martial with access to records 
     of trial.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6615).
       The House recedes with a technical amendment.

                         Title LVIII--Sentences

     Sentencing (sec. 5301)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5261) that 
     would amend section 856 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 56, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     replace the court-martial practice of ``unitary'' sentencing 
     with ``segmented'' sentencing where, if confinement is 
     adjudged for guilty findings, the amount of confinement for 
     each guilty finding would be determined separately. The 
     provision would also authorize segmented sentencing for 
     fines. The provision would authorize sentencing parameters 
     and criteria to provide guidance to military judges in 
     determining an appropriate sentence and would authorize the 
     United States to appeal a sentence to the Court of Criminal 
     Appeals. The provision would incorporate Article 56a, 
     authorizing a sentence of confinement for life without the 
     eligibility of parole any time a life sentence is authorized, 
     into Article 56, UCMJ, without substantive change.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6701) that did not include sentencing parameters.
       The Senate recedes with an amendment to conform to the 
     provision under Article 25, UCMJ, as amended in a separate 
     provision in this Act, that would provide an accused the 
     option to request sentencing by members. In cases in which 
     the accused has elected sentencing by members the court-
     martial will announce a single sentence for all the offenses 
     for which an accused was found guilty.
     Effective date of sentences (sec. 5302)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5262) that 
     would amend section 857 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 57, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     consolidate portions of Article 57 and 57a that govern 
     deferment of sentences, and portions of Articles 57 and 71 
     that govern when sentences become effective into Article 57, 
     as modified. The provision would make a conforming change to 
     remove from Article 71 the authority for a convening 
     authority to suspend a sentence under Article 71(d). The 
     provision would strike Articles 57a and 71, because the 
     authorities in those two Articles would be included in 
     Article 57, as modified.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6702).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Sentence of reduction in enlisted grade (sec. 5303)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5263) that 
     would amend section 858a of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 58a, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     authorize reduction of enlisted members to the grade of E-1 
     whenever the approved sentence of a court-martial includes a 
     punitive discharge, confinement, or hard labor without 
     confinement.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6703).
       The Senate recedes.

      Title LIX--Post-Trial Procedure and Review of Courts-Martial

     Post-trial processing in general and special courts-martial 
         (sec. 5321)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5281) that 
     would amend section 860 of title 10, United States Code, 
     (Article 60, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) to 
     provide for the distribution of the trial results and to 
     authorize post-trial motions to be filed with the military 
     judge in general and special courts-martial.
       The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 
     6801).
       The conference agreement includes this provision.
     Limited authority to act on sentence in specified post-trial 
         circumstances (sec. 5322)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5282) that 
     would amend chapter 47 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     add a new section 860a (Article 60a, Uniform Code of Military 
     Justice (UCMJ)) to consolidate current limitations on the 
     convening authority's post-trial authority in most general 
     and special courts-martial, subject to a narrowly limited 
     suspension authority and a revised authority to adjust an 
     adjudged sentence in cases where an accused provides 
     substantial assistance in the investigation or prosecution of 
     another person.
       The provision would retain and clarify existing limitations 
     on the convening authority's post-trial actions in general 
     and special courts-martial in which: (1) the maximum sentence 
     of confinement for any offense is more than 2 years; (2) 
     adjudged confinement exceeds 6 months; (3) the sentence 
     includes dismissal or discharge; or (4) the accused is found 
     guilty of designated sex-related offenses. Under current law, 
     the convening authority in such cases is prohibited from 
     modifying the findings of the court-martial, or reducing, 
     commuting, or suspending a punishment of death, confinement 
     of more than 6 months, or a punitive discharge.
       The provision would provide a limited suspension authority 
     in specified circumstances. For the convening authority to 
     exercise this authority, the military judge would be required 
     to make a specific suspension recommendation in the Statement 
     of Trial Results. The suspension authority would be limited 
     to punishments of confinement in excess of 6 months and 
     punitive discharges. The provision would retain, with 
     clarifying amendments, the key features of current law with 
     respect to the convening authority's power to reduce the 
     sentence of an accused who assists in the prosecution or 
     investigation of another person. As amended, the provision 
     would authorize the President to prescribe rules providing 
     for a convening authority to exercise this power after entry 
     of judgment. This provision would allow for the reduction of 
     a sentence of an accused who provides substantial assistance 
     in the prosecution of another person, even well after his own 
     trial is over and appellate review is complete.
       The provision would allow the accused and a victim of the 
     offense to submit matters to the convening authority for 
     consideration.
       The provision would require the decision of the convening 
     authority to be forwarded to the military judge. If the 
     convening authority modified the sentence of the court-
     martial, the convening authority would be required to explain 
     the reasons for the modification. An explanation for the 
     convening authority's decision would only be required when 
     the convening authority modifies the sentence. No approval of 
     the findings or sentence would be required. The decision of 
     the convening authority would be forwarded to the military 
     judge, who would incorporate any change in the sentence into 
     the entry of judgment. In a case where the accused provides 
     substantial assistance and a designated convening authority 
     reduces the sentence of the accused after entry of judgment, 
     the convening authority's action would be forwarded to the 
     chief trial judge, who would be responsible for ensuring 
     appropriate modification of the entry of judgment. Because a 
     modification might happen during or after the completion of 
     appellate review, the modified entry of judgment would be 
     forwarded to the Judge Advocate General for appropriate 
     action.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6802).
       The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.
     Post-trial actions in summary courts-martial and certain 
         general and special courts-martial (sec. 5323)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5283) that 
     would amend chapter 47 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     add a new section 860b (Article 60b of the Uniform Code of 
     Military Justice (UCMJ)) that would clarify the convening 
     authority's post-trial authorities and responsibilities with 
     respect to the findings and sentence of summary courts-
     martial and a limited number of general and special courts-
     martial which, because of the offenses charged and the 
     sentence adjudged, would not be covered under Article 60a, 
     UCMJ. Consistent with existing law, the convening authority 
     in such cases would be authorized to act on the findings and 
     the sentence, and could order rehearings, subject to certain 
     limitations. The procedural requirements under Article 60b, 
     including consideration of matters submitted by the accused 
     and victim, would be the same as provided in Article 60a. In 
     summary courts-martial, the convening authority would be 
     required to act on the sentence, and would have discretion to 
     act on the findings, as under current law.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
     6803).
       The House recedes.
     Entry of judgment (sec. 5324)
       The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5284) that 
     would amend chapter 47 of title 10, United States Code, to 
     create a new section 860c (Article 60c of the Uniform Code of 
     Military Justice (UCMJ)) that would require the

[[Page 15319]]

     military judge to enter the judgment of the court-martial 
     into the record in all general and special courts-martial, 
     and would mark the conclusion of trial proceedings. The 
     judgment would reflect the Statement of Trial Results, any 
     action by the convening authority on the findings or 
     sentence, and any post-trial rulings by the military judge. 
     The judgment also would indicate the time when the accused's 
     case becomes eligible for direct appeal to a service court of 
     criminal appeals under Article 66, or for review by the Judge 
     Advocate General under Article 65. This requirement for an 
     entry of judgment is modeled after Federal Rules of Criminal 
     Procedure 32(k). The findings and sentence of a summary 
     court-martial, as modified by any post-trial action by the 
     convening authority under Article 60b, would constitute the 
     judgment of the court-martial.
       The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

     Defense, ensuring consistent application of this statute for 
     all military services.

     periodically thereafter. The amendment would require specific 
     military justice training for military commanders and 
     convening authorities, and would require the Secretary of

     training on the UCMJ for combatant commanders and commanders 
     of combined commands. The provision would also require the 
     Secretary of Defense to maintain an electronic version of the

     actions at trial and in subsequent proceedings concerning the 
     findings and sentences of courts-martial.
