SEC. 312. BUDGET TREATMENT OF COSTS OF ACQUISITION OF MAJOR SYSTEMS BY
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.

(a) <> Findings.--Congress makes the
following findings:
(1) Funds within the National Foreign Intelligence Program
often must be shifted from program to program and from fiscal
year to fiscal year to address funding shortfalls caused by
significant increases in the costs of acquisition of major
systems by the intelligence community.
(2) While some increases in the costs of acquisition of
major systems by the intelligence community are unavoidable, the
magnitude of growth in the costs of acquisition of many major
systems indicates a systemic bias within the intelligence
community to underestimate the costs of such acquisition,
particularly in the preliminary stages of development and
production.
(3) Decisions by Congress to fund the acquisition of major
systems by the intelligence community rely significantly upon
initial estimates of the affordability of acquiring such major
systems and occur within a context in which funds can be
allocated for a variety of alternative programs. Thus,
substantial increases in costs of acquisition of major systems
place significant burdens on the availability of funds for other
programs and new proposals within the National Foreign
Intelligence Program.

[[Page 2607]]
117 STAT. 2607

(4) Independent cost estimates, prepared by independent
offices, have historically represented a more accurate
projection of the costs of acquisition of major systems.
(5) Recognizing the benefits associated with independent
cost estimates for the acquisition of major systems, the
Secretary of Defense has built upon the statutory requirement in
section 2434 of title 10, United States Code, to develop and
consider independent cost estimates for the acquisition of such
systems by mandating the use of such estimates in budget
requests of the Department of Defense.
(6) The mandatory use throughout the intelligence community
of independent cost estimates for the acquisition of major
systems will assist the President and Congress in the
development and funding of budgets which more accurately reflect
the requirements and priorities of the United States Government
for intelligence and intelligence-related activities.

(b) Budget Treatment of Costs of Acquisition of Major Systems.--(1)
Title V of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 413 et seq.) is
amended by inserting after section 506 the following new section:


``budget treatment of costs of acquisition of major systems by the
intelligence community


``Sec. 506A. <> (a) Independent Cost
Estimates.--(1) The Director of Central Intelligence shall, in
consultation with the head of each element of the intelligence community
concerned, prepare an independent cost estimate of the full life-cycle
cost of development, procurement, and operation of each major system to
be acquired by the intelligence community.

``(2) Each independent cost estimate for a major system shall, to
the maximum extent practicable, specify the amount required to be
appropriated and obligated to develop, procure, and operate the major
system in each fiscal year of the proposed period of development,
procurement, and operation of the major system.
``(3)(A) In the case of a program of the intelligence community that
qualifies as a major system, an independent cost estimate shall be
prepared before the submission to Congress of the budget of the
President for the first fiscal year in which appropriated funds are
anticipated to be obligated for the development or procurement of such
major system.
``(B) In the case of a program of the intelligence community for
which an independent cost estimate was not previously required to be
prepared under this section, including a program for which development
or procurement commenced before the date of the enactment of the
Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004, if the aggregate
future costs of development or procurement (or any combination of such
activities) of the program will exceed $500,000,000 (in current fiscal
year dollars), the program shall qualify as a major system for purposes
of this section, and an independent cost estimate for such major system
shall be prepared before the submission to Congress of the budget of the
President for the first fiscal year thereafter in which appropriated
funds are anticipated to be obligated for such major system.
``(4) The independent cost estimate for a major system shall be
updated upon--
``(A) the completion of any preliminary design review
associated with the major system;

[[Page 2608]]
117 STAT. 2608

``(B) any significant modification to the anticipated design
of the major system; or
``(C) any change in circumstances that renders the current
independent cost estimate for the major system inaccurate.

``(5) Any update of an independent cost estimate for a major system
under paragraph (4) shall meet all requirements for independent cost
estimates under this section, and shall be treated as the most current
independent cost estimate for the major system until further updated
under that paragraph.
``(b) <> Preparation of Independent Cost
Estimates.--(1) The Director shall establish within the Office of the
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence for Community Management an
office which shall be responsible for preparing independent cost
estimates, and any updates thereof, under subsection (a), unless a
designation is made under paragraph (2).

``(2) In the case of the acquisition of a major system for an
element of the intelligence community within the Department of Defense,
the Director and the Secretary of Defense shall provide that the
independent cost estimate, and any updates thereof, under subsection (a)
be prepared by an entity jointly designated by the Director and the
Secretary in accordance with section 2434(b)(1)(A) of title 10, United
States Code.
``(c) Utilization in Budgets of President.--(1) If the budget of the
President requests appropriations for any fiscal year for the
development or procurement of a major system by the intelligence
community, the President shall, subject to paragraph (2), request in
such budget an amount of appropriations for the development or
procurement, as the case may be, of the major system that is equivalent
to the amount of appropriations identified in the most current
independent cost estimate for the major system for obligation for each
fiscal year for which appropriations are requested for the major system
in such budget.
``(2) If the amount of appropriations requested in the budget of the
President for the development or procurement of a major system is less
than the amount of appropriations identified in the most current
independent cost estimate for the major system for obligation for each
fiscal year for which appropriations are requested for the major system
in such budget, the President shall include in the budget justification
materials submitted to Congress in support of such budget--
``(A) an explanation for the difference between the amount
of appropriations requested and the amount of appropriations
identified in the most current independent cost estimate;
``(B) a description of the importance of the major system to
the national security;
``(C) an assessment of the consequences for the funding of
all programs of the National Foreign Intelligence Program in
future fiscal years if the most current independent cost
estimate for the major system is accurate and additional
appropriations are required in future fiscal years to ensure the
continued development or procurement of the major system,
including the consequences of such funding shortfalls on the
major system and all other programs of the National Foreign
Intelligence Program; and
``(D) such other information on the funding of the major
system as the President considers appropriate.

[[Page 2609]]
117 STAT. 2609

``(d) Inclusion of Estimates in Budget Justification Materials.--The
budget justification materials submitted to Congress in support of the
budget of the President shall include the most current independent cost
estimate under this section for each major system for which
appropriations are requested in such budget for any fiscal year.
``(e) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) The term `budget of the President' means the budget of
the President for a fiscal year as submitted to Congress under
section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code.

development, procurement, or operation of the major system.
``(3) The term `major system' means any significant program

development and procurement of the program and any other costs
associated with the development and procurement of systems
