        advanced and effective technology to protect soldiers 
        while allowing the soldiers to effectively carry out 
        the mission of the Army;
            (2) the heavy tactical vehicle protection kits 
        program provides the Army with improved and necessary 
        ballistic protection for the heavy tactical vehicle 
        fleet;
            (3) a secure heavy tactical vehicle fleet provides 
        the Army with greater logistical tractability and 
        offers soldiers the necessary flexibility to tailor 
        armor levels based on threat levels and mission 
        requirements; and
            (4) as Congress provides for a modern and secure 
        Army, it is necessary to provide the appropriate 
        funding levels to meet the tactical wheeled vehicle 
        protection kits acquisition objectives of the Army.

        Defense shall modify the headquarters reduction plan 
        required by section 904 of the National Defense 
        Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-
        66; 127 Stat. 816; 10 U.S.C. 111 note) to ensure that 
        it achieves savings in the total funding available for 
        major Department of Defense headquarters activities by 
        fiscal year 2020 that are not less than 25 percent of 
        the baseline amount. The modified plan shall establish 
        a specific savings objective for each major 
        headquarters activity in each fiscal year through 
        fiscal year 2020. The budget for the Department of 
        Defense for each fiscal year after fiscal year 2016

        plan.
            (2) Baseline amount.--For the purposes of this 
        subsection, the baseline amount is the amount 
        authorized to be appropriated by this Act for fiscal 
        year 2016 for major Department of Defense headquarters 
        activities, adjusted by a credit for reductions in such 
        headquarters activities that are documented, as of the 
        date that is 90 days after the date of the enactment of 
        this Act, as having been accomplished in earlier fiscal 
        years in accordance with the December 2013 directive of 
        the Secretary of Defense on headquarters reductions. 
        The modified plan issued pursuant to paragraph (1) 
        shall include an overall baseline amount for all of the 
        major Department of Defense headquarters activities 
        that credits reductions accomplished in earlier fiscal 
        years in accordance with the December 2013 directive, 
        and a specific baseline amount for each such 
        headquarters activity that credits such reductions.

        of processes and methods for achieving budget-
        neutrality in the delivery of commissary and exchange 
        benefits and other applicable benchmarks in accordance 
        with this section. The Secretary may authorize any

        establish specific, measurable benchmarks for measuring 
        success in the provision of high quality grocery goods

        neutrality in the delivery of commissary and exchange 
        benefits under the pilot program.
            (3) Required savings to patrons.--The Secretary 
        shall ensure that the level of savings to commissary 
        and exchange patrons under any pilot program under this 
        subsection is not less than the level of savings to

        program, as follows:
                    (A) Before commencing a pilot program the 
                Secretary shall establish a baseline of savings 
                to patrons achieved for each commissary or 
                exchange to participate in such pilot program 
                by comparing prices charged by such commissary 
                or exchange for a representative market basket 
                of goods to prices charged by local competitors 
                for the same market basket of goods.

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-314; 10 
U.S.C. 2302 note) is amended to read as follows:
    ``(c) Response to Combat Emergencies and Certain Urgent 
Operational Needs.--
            ``(1) Determination of need for rapid acquisition 
        and deployment.--(A) In the case of any supplies and 
        associated support services that, as determined in 
        writing by the Secretary of Defense, are urgently 
        needed to eliminate a documented deficiency that has 
        resulted in combat casualties, or is likely to result 
        in combat casualties, the Secretary may use the 
        procedures developed under this section in order to 
        accomplish the rapid acquisition and deployment of the 
        needed supplies and associated support services.
            ``(B) In the case of any supplies and associated 
        support services that, as determined in writing by the 
        Secretary of Defense, are urgently needed to eliminate 
        a documented deficiency that impacts an ongoing or 
        anticipated contingency operation and that, if left 
        unfulfilled, could potentially result in loss of life 
        or critical mission failure, the Secretary may use the 
        procedures developed under this section in order to 
        accomplish the rapid acquisition and deployment of the 
        needed supplies and associated support services.
            ``(C)(i) In the case of any supplies and associated 
        support services that, as determined in writing by the 
        Secretary of Defense without delegation, are urgently 
        needed to eliminate a deficiency that as the result of 
        a cyber attack has resulted in critical mission 
        failure, the loss of life, property destruction, or 
        economic effects, or if left unfilled is likely to 
        result in critical mission failure, the loss of life, 
        property destruction, or economic effects, the 
        Secretary may use the procedures developed under this 
        section in order to accomplish the rapid acquisition 
        and deployment of the needed offensive or defensive 
        cyber capabilities, supplies, and associated support 
        services.
            ``(ii) In this subparagraph, the term `cyber 
        attack' means a deliberate action to alter, disrupt, 
        deceive, degrade, or destroy computer systems or 
        networks or the information or programs resident in or 
        transiting these systems or networks.
            ``(2) Designation of senior official responsible.--
        (A) Whenever the Secretary makes a determination under 
        subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of paragraph (1) that 
        certain supplies and associated support services are 
        urgently needed to eliminate a deficiency described in 
        that subparagraph, the Secretary shall designate a 
        senior official of the Department of Defense to ensure 
        that the needed supplies and associated support 
        services are acquired and deployed as quickly as 
        possible, with a goal of awarding a contract for the 
        acquisition of the supplies and associated support 
        services within 15 days.
            ``(B) Upon designation of a senior official under 
        subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall authorize that 
        official to waive any provision of law, policy, 
        directive, or regulation described in subsection (d) 
        that such official determines in writing would 
        unnecessarily impede the rapid acquisition and 
        deployment of the needed supplies and associated 
        support services. In a case in which the needed 
        supplies and associated support services cannot be 
        acquired without an extensive delay, the senior 
        official shall require that an interim solution be 
        implemented and deployed using the procedures developed 
        under this section to minimize adverse consequences 
        resulting from the urgent need.
            ``(3) Use of funds.--(A) In any fiscal year in 
        which the Secretary makes a determination described in 
        subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of paragraph (1), the 
        Secretary may use any funds available to the Department 
        of Defense for acquisitions of supplies and associated 
        support services if the determination includes a 
        written finding that the use of such funds is necessary 
        to address the deficiency in a timely manner.

        used to acquire supplies and associated support 
        services--
                    ``(i) in the case of determinations by the 
                Secretary under paragraph (1)(A), in an amount

SEC. 804. MIDDLE TIER OF ACQUISITION FOR RAPID PROTOTYPING AND RAPID 
                    FIELDING.

    (a) Guidance Required.--Not later than 180 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, in 
consultation with the Comptroller of the Department of Defense 
and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, shall 
establish guidance for a ``middle tier'' of acquisition 
programs that are intended to be completed in a period of two 
to five years.
    (b) Acquisition Pathways.--The guidance required by 
subsection (a) shall cover the following two acquisition 
pathways:
            (1) Rapid prototyping.--The rapid prototyping 
        pathway shall provide for the use of innovative 
        technologies to rapidly develop fieldable prototypes to 
        demonstrate new capabilities and meet emerging military 
        needs. The objective of an acquisition program under 
        this pathway shall be to field a prototype that can be 
        demonstrated in an operational environment and provide 
        for a residual operational capability within five years 
        of the development of an approved requirement.
            (2) Rapid fielding.--The rapid fielding pathway 
        shall provide for the use of proven technologies to 
        field production quantities of new or upgraded systems 
        with minimal development required. The objective of an 
        acquisition program under this pathway shall be to 
        begin production within six months and complete 
        fielding within five years of the development of an 
        approved requirement.
    (c) Expedited Process.--
            (1) In general.--The guidance required by 
        subsection (a) shall provide for a streamlined and 
        coordinated requirements, budget, and acquisition 
        process that results in the development of an approved 
        requirement for each program in a period of not more 
        than six months from the time that the process is 
        initiated. Programs that are subject to the guidance 
        shall not be subject to the Joint Capabilities 
        Integration and Development System Manual and 
        Department of Defense Directive 5000.01, except to the 
        extent specifically provided in the guidance.
            (2) Rapid prototyping.--With respect to the rapid 
        prototyping pathway, the guidance shall include--
                    (A) a merit-based process for the 
                consideration of innovative technologies and 
                new capabilities to meet needs communicated by 
                the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the combatant 
                commanders;
                    (B) a process for developing and 
                implementing acquisition and funding strategies 
                for the program;
                    (C) a process for cost-sharing with the 
                military departments on rapid prototype 
                projects, to ensure an appropriate commitment 
                to the success of such projects;
                    (D) a process for demonstrating and 
                evaluating the performance of fieldable 
                prototypes developed pursuant to the program in 
                an operational environment; and
                    (E) a process for transitioning successful 
                prototypes to new or existing acquisition 
                programs for production and fielding under the 
                rapid fielding pathway or the traditional 
                acquisition system.
            (3) Rapid fielding.--With respect to the rapid 
        fielding pathway, the guidance shall include--
                    (A) a merit-based process for the 
                consideration of existing products and proven 
                technologies to meet needs communicated by the 
                Joint Chiefs of Staff and the combatant 
                commanders;
                    (B) a process for demonstrating performance 
                and evaluating for current operational purposes 
                the proposed products and technologies;
                    (C) a process for developing and 
                implementing acquisition and funding strategies 
                for the program; and
                    (D) a process for considering lifecycle 
                costs and addressing issues of logistics 
                support and system interoperability.
            (4) Streamlined procedures.--The guidance for the 
        programs may provide for any of the following 
        streamlined procedures:
                    (A) The service acquisition executive of 
                the military department concerned shall appoint 
                a program manager for such program from among 
                candidates from among civilian employees or 
                members of the Armed Forces who have 
                significant and relevant experience managing 
                large and complex programs.
                    (B) The program manager for each program 
                shall report with respect to such program 
                directly, without intervening review or 
                approval, to the service acquisition executive 
                of the military department concerned.
                    (C) The service acquisition executive of 
                the military department concerned shall 
                evaluate the job performance of such manager on 
                an annual basis. In conducting an evaluation 
                under this paragraph, a service acquisition 
                executive shall consider the extent to which 
                the manager has achieved the objectives of the 
                program for which the manager is responsible, 
                including quality, timeliness, and cost 
                objectives.
                    (D) The program manager of a defense 
                streamlined program shall be authorized staff 
                positions for a technical staff, including 
                experts in business management, contracting, 
                auditing, engineering, testing, and logistics, 
                to enable the manager to manage the program 
                without the technical assistance of another

                extent practicable.
                    (E) The program manager of a defense 
                streamlined program shall be authorized, in 
                coordination with the users of the equipment 
                and capability to be acquired and the test 
                community, to make trade-offs among life-cycle 
                costs, requirements, and schedules to meet the 
                goals of the program.
                    (F) The service acquisition executive, 
                acting in coordination with the defense 
                acquisition executive, shall serve as the 
                milestone decision authority for the program.
                    (G) The program manager of a defense 
                streamlined program shall be provided a process 
                to expeditiously seek a waiver from Congress 
                from any statutory or regulatory requirement 
                that the program manager determines adds little 
                or no value to the management of the program.
    (d) Rapid Prototyping Fund.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall 
        establish a fund to be known as the ``Department of 
        Defense Rapid Prototyping Fund'' to provide funds, in 
        addition to other funds that may be available for 
        acquisition programs under the rapid prototyping 
        pathway established pursuant to this section. The Fund

        under a contract, or would provide an opportunity to 
        expand the defense supply base in a manner that would

            ``(B) the Secretary determines that the program is 
        best managed by a Defense Agency;
            ``(C) the program has incurred a unit cost increase 
        greater than the significant cost threshold or critical 
        cost threshold under section 2433 of this title;
            ``(D) the program is critical to a major 
        interagency requirement or technology development 
        effort, or has significant international partner

        official serving as the milestone decision authority 
        will best provide for the program to achieve desired 
        cost, schedule, and performance outcomes.

authority under paragraph (2) for a program, the Secretary of 
Defense may revert the position of milestone decision authority 
for the program back to the service acquisition executive upon 
request of the Secretary of the military department concerned. 
A decision on the request shall be made within 180 days after 
receipt of the request from the Secretary of the military 
department concerned.
    ``(B) If the Secretary of Defense denies the request for 
reversion of the milestone decision authority back to the 
service acquisition executive, the Secretary shall report to 
the congressional defense committees on the basis of the 
Secretary's decision that an alternate official serving as 
milestone decision authority will best provide for the program 
to achieve desired cost, schedule, and performance outcomes. No 
such reversion is authorized after a program has incurred a 
unit cost increase greater than the significant cost threshold 
or critical cost threshold under section 2433 of this title, 
except in exceptional circumstances.
    ``(4)(A) For each major defense acquisition program, the 
Secretary of the military department concerned and the Chief of 
the armed force concerned shall, in each Selected Acquisition 
Report required under section 2432 of this title, certify that 
program requirements are stable and funding is adequate to meet 
cost, schedule, and performance objectives for the program and 
identify and report to the congressional defense committees on 
any increased risk to the program since the last report.
    ``(B) The Secretary of Defense shall review the acquisition 
oversight process for major defense acquisition programs and 
shall limit outside requirements for documentation to an 
absolute minimum on those programs where the service 
acquisition executive of the military department that is 
managing the program is the milestone decision authority and 
ensure that any policies, procedures, and activities related to 
oversight efforts conducted outside of the military departments 
with regard to major defense acquisition programs shall be 
implemented in a manner that does not unnecessarily increase 
program costs or impede program schedules.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 133(b)(5) of such title 
is amended by inserting before the period at the end the 
following: ``, except that the Under Secretary shall exercise 
advisory authority, subject to the authority, direction, and

section:
            (1) The amount of the cost overrun or underrun on 
        any major defense acquisition program or subprogram in 
        a fiscal year is the difference between the current 
        program acquisition unit cost for the program or 
        subprogram and the program acquisition unit cost for 
        the program as shown in the original Baseline Estimate 
        for the program or subprogram, multiplied by the 
        quantity of items to be purchased under the program or 
        subprogram, as reported in the final Selected 
        Acquisition Report for the fiscal year in accordance 
        with section 2432 of title 10, United States Code.
            (2) Cost overruns or underruns for covered major 
        defense acquisition programs that are joint programs of 
        more than one military department shall be allocated 
        among the military departments in percentages 
        determined by the Under Secretary of Defense for 
        Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
            (3) The cumulative amount of cost overruns for a 
        military department in a fiscal year is the sum of the 
        cost overruns and cost underruns for all covered major 
        defense acquisition programs of the department in the 
        fiscal year (including cost overruns or underruns 
        allocated to the military department in accordance with 
        paragraph (2)).
            (4) The cost overrun penalty for a military 
        department in a fiscal year is three percent of the 
        cumulative amount of cost overruns of the military 
        department in the fiscal year, as determined pursuant 
        to paragraph (3), except that the cost overrun penalty 
        may not be a negative amount.
    (c) Transfer of Funds.--
            (1) Reduction of research, development, test, and 
        evaluation accounts.--Not later than 60 days after the 
        end of each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 
        2015, the Secretary of each military department shall 
        reduce each research, development, test, and evaluation 
        account of the military department by the percentage 
        determined under paragraph (2), and remit such amount 
        to the Secretary of Defense.
            (2) Determination of amount.--The percentage 
        reduction to research, development, test, and 
        evaluation accounts of a military department referred 
        to in paragraph (1) is the percentage reduction to such 
        accounts necessary to equal the cost overrun penalty 
        for the fiscal year for such department determined 
        pursuant to subsection (b)(4).
            (3) Crediting of funds.--Any amount remitted under 
        paragraph (1) shall be credited to the Rapid 
        Prototyping Fund established pursuant to section 804 of 
        this Act.
    (d) Covered Programs.--A major defense acquisition program 
is covered under this section if the original Baseline Estimate 
was established for such program under paragraph (1) or (2) of 
section 2435(d) of title 10, United States Code, on or after

        items or services valued at more than $1,000,000 from

                acquisition procedures under part 12 of the 
                Federal Acquisition Regulation was in error or 
                based on inadequate information; and
                    (B) the Department of Defense will realize 
                a cost savings compared to the cost of 
                procuring a similar quantity or level of such 
                item or service using commercial acquisition 
                procedures.

                approves the determination made under paragraph 
                (1); and

                is provided to the Office of the Under 
                Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,

under paragraph (1), the determining official shall, at a 
minimum, consider the following factors:
            (1) The estimated cost of research and development 
        to be performed by the existing contractor to improve 
        future products or services.
            (2) The transaction costs for the Department of 
        Defense and the contractor in assessing and responding 
        to data requests to support a conversion to 
        noncommercial acquisition procedures.
            (3) Changes in purchase quantities.
            (4) Costs associated with potential procurement 
        delays resulting from the conversion.
    (c) Procedures.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall 
develop procedures to track conversions of future contracts and

SEC. 894. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EVALUATION METHOD FOR PROCUREMENT OF 
                    AUDIT OR AUDIT READINESS SERVICES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Given the size, scope, and complexity of the 
        Department of Defense, the statutory deadline to 
        establish and maintain auditable financial statements, 
        starting with the fiscal year 2018 financial statement, 
        is one of the more challenging management tasks that 
        has ever faced the Department.
            (2) As the military services have never received a 
        clean opinion on their consolidated financial 
        statements and only recently begun auditing portions of 
        their financial statements, the audits of military 
        service financial statements will also be a complex 
        challenge for companies selected to provide audit 
        services.
            (3) The acquisition of services by the Department 
        abides by many rules and parameters, one of which is 
        the lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA) 
        evaluation method. LPTA is generally appropriate for 
        commercial or noncomplex services or supplies where the 
        requirement is clearly definable and the risk of 
        unsuccessful contract performance is minimal.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, 
before using the lowest price, technically acceptable 
evaluation method for the procurement of audit or audit 
readiness services, the Secretary of Defense should establish 
the values and metrics for evaluating companies offering audit 
services, including financial management and audit expertise 
and experience, personnel qualifications and certifications, 
past performance, technology, tools, and size.

SEC. 895. MITIGATING POTENTIAL UNFAIR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OF

advantage conferred to technical advisors to acquisition 
programs.

SEC. 896. SURVEY ON THE COSTS OF REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.

    (a) Survey.--The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a 
survey of contractors with the highest level of reimbursements 
for cost type contracts with the Department of Defense during 
fiscal year 2014 to estimate industry's cost of regulatory 
compliance (as a percentage of total costs) with Government-
unique acquisition regulations and requirements in the 
categories of quality assurance, accounting and financial 
management, contracting and purchasing, program management, 
engineering, logistics, material management, property 
administration, and other unique requirements not imposed on 
contracts for commercial items.
    (b) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to 
the congressional defense committees a report on the findings 
of the survey conducted under subsection (a). The data received 
as a result of the survey and included in the report shall be 
aggregated to protect against the public release of proprietary 
information.

of the transfer of contracts from the General Services 
Administration or for which the Department serves as an item 
manager for products on behalf of the General Services

        activity--
                    (A) determines that such data are necessary 
                for the evaluation by the agency of the 
                reasonableness of the price of the contract, 
                subcontract, or modification of a contract or 
                subcontract; or

        may be required for a risk-based sample of contracts, 
        the price of which is expected to exceed $750,000 but 
        not $5,000,000. The authority to require certified cost 
        or pricing data under this paragraph shall not apply to

      TITLE IX--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT

Sec. 901. Update of statutory specification of functions of the Chairman 
          of the Joint Chiefs of Staff relating to joint force 
          development activities.
Sec. 902. Sense of Congress on the United States Marine Corps.

SEC. 901. UPDATE OF STATUTORY SPECIFICATION OF FUNCTIONS OF THE 
                    CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF RELATING TO 
                    JOINT FORCE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES.

    Section 153(a)(5) of title 10, United States Code, is 
amended by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
            ``(F) Advising the Secretary on development of 
        joint command, control, communications, and cyber 
        capability, including integration and interoperability 
        of such capability, through requirements, integrated 
        architectures, data standards, and assessments.''.

SEC. 902. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) As senior United States statesman Dr. Henry 
        Kissinger wrote in testimony submitted to the Committee 
        on Armed Services of the Senate on January 29, 2015, 
        ``The United States has not faced a more diverse and 
        complex array of crises since the end of the Second 
        World War.''.
            (2) The rise of non-state forces and near peer 
        competitors has introduced destabilizing pressures 
        around the globe.
            (3) Advances in information and weapons technology 
        have reduced the time available for the United States 
        to prepare for and respond to crises against both known 
        and unknown threats.
            (4) The importance of the maritime domain cannot be 
        overstated. As acknowledged in the March 2015 Navy, 
        Marine Corps, and Coast Guard maritime strategy, ``A 
        Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower: 
        Forward, Engaged, Ready'': ``Oceans are the lifeblood 
        of the interconnected global community. . . 90 percent 
        of trade by volume travels across the oceans. 
        Approximately 70 percent of the world's population 
        lives within 100 miles of the coastline.''.
            (5) The United States must be prepared to rapidly 
        respond to crises around the world regardless of the 
        nation's fiscal health.
            (6) In this global security environment, it is 
        critical that the nation possess a maritime force whose 
        mission and ethos is readiness--a fight tonight force, 
        forward deployed, that can respond immediately to 
        emergent crises across the full range of military 
        operations around the globe either from the sea or home 
        station.
            (7) The need for such a force was recognized by the 
        82nd Congress during the Korean War, when it mandated a 
        core mission for the nation's leanest force--the Marine 
        Corps--to be most ready when the nation is least ready.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Marine Corps, within the Department of the 
        Navy, remain the Nation's expeditionary, crisis 
        response force;
            (2) the need for such a force with such a 
        capability has never been greater; and
            (3) accordingly, in recognition of this need and 
        the wisdom of the 82nd Congress, the 114th Congress 
        reaffirms section 5063 of title 10, United States Code, 
        which states that the Marine Corps--
                    (A) shall--
                            (i) be organized to include not 
                        less than three combat divisions and 
                        three air wings, and such other land 
                        combat, aviation, and other services as 
                        may be organic therein;
                            (ii) be organized, trained, and 
                        equipped to provide fleet marine forces 
                        of combined arms, together with 
                        supporting air components, for service 
                        with the fleet in the seizure or 
                        defense of advanced naval bases and for 
                        the conduct of such land operations as 
                        may be essential to the prosecution of 
                        a naval campaign; and
                            (iii) provide detachments and 
                        organizations for service on armed 
                        vessels of the Navy, provide security 
                        detachments for the protection of naval 
                        property at naval stations and bases, 
                        and perform such other duties as the 
                        President may direct;
                but these additional duties may not detract 
                from nor interfere with the operations for 
                which the Marine Corps is primarily organized;
                    (B) shall develop, in coordination with the 
                Army and the Air Force, those phases of 
                amphibious operations that pertain to the 
                tactics, techniques, and equipment used by 
                landing forces; and
                    (C) is responsible, in accordance with the 
                integrated joint mobilization plans, for the 
                expansion of peacetime components of the Marine 
                Corps to meet the needs of war.

        are a top priority for Congress, and sequestration--

        of 2011 (Public Law 112-25) impose unacceptable 
        limitations on the budget and increase risk to the 
        national security of the United States; and
            (3) the budget caps imposed by the Budget Control 
        Act of 2011 must be modified or eliminated through a

            (1) The stability and security of Central American 
        nations have a direct impact on the stability and 
        security of the United States.
            (2) Over the past decade, increased stability and 
        security in the Republic of Colombia has displaced 
        illicit trafficking to Central America, bringing with 
        it increased violence and instability.
            (3) According to the Global Study on Homicide 2013 
        of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, four 
        of the top five countries with the highest homicide 
        rates in the world were Central American nations, 
        including Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
            (4) In 2014, approximately 65,000 unaccompanied 
        alien children from Central America entered the United 
        States through its southwest border.
            (5) In November 2014, Guatemala, Honduras, and El 
        Salvador announced a Plan for the Alliance for 
        Prosperity of the Northern Triangle, which is a 
        comprehensive approach to address the ongoing violence 
        and instability facing these three nations by 
        stimulating economic opportunities, improving public 
        safety and rule of law, and strengthening institutions 
        to increase trust in the state.
            (6) The United States Government is supportive of 
        the Alliance for Prosperity, and President's strategy 
        for support includes $1,000,000,000 focused on 
        promoting prosperity and regional economic integration, 
        enhancing security, and promoting improved governance.
            (7) The Department of Defense continues to build 
        the capacity of our partners in the region to address 
        their security challenges and confront threats of 
        mutual concern.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States should, to the extent 
        practicable, prioritize efforts to address the 
        threatening levels of violence, instability, illicit 
        trafficking, and transnational organized crime that 
        challenge the sovereignty of Central American nations 
        and the security of the United States; and
            (2) in order to address such issues, the Department 
        of Defense, to the extent practicable, should--
                    (A) increase its operations, as the lead 
                agency of the United States Government, to 
                detect and monitor aerial and maritime illicit 
                trafficking into the United States;
                    (B) increase its efforts to support aerial 
                and maritime illicit trafficking interdiction 
                operations;
                    (C) increase its operations to build the 
                capacity of partner nations in Central America 
                to confront their own security challenges;
                    (D) support interagency programs and 
                activities in Central America addressing 
                instability, including development, education, 
                economic, political, and security challenges; 
                and
                    (E) promote observance of and respect for 
                human rights and fundamental freedoms and 
                respect for civilian control of the military.

        shape the operational environment;
            (2) military information support operations are

        adversaries to persuade, inspire, and recruit inside 
        areas of hostilities or in other areas in direct 
        support of the objectives of commanders; and
            (4) the Secretary of Defense should request 
        additional funds in future budgets to carry out 
        military information support operations to support the 
        broader efforts of the Government to counter violent 
        extremism.

ability of the Department of Defense to provide innovative 
operational concepts and technologies to shape the 
informational environment, the Secretary of Defense shall carry

        requirements of the combatant commanders.
            (3) A process for measuring the performance and 
        effectiveness of the demonstrations.
            (4) A coordination structure to include 
        participation between the technology development and 
        the operational communities, including potentially 
        joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and 
        multinational partners.
            (5) The identification of potential technologies to 
        support the tactical, operational, or strategic needs 
        of the combatant commanders.
            (6) An explanation of how such technologies will 
        support and coordinate with elements of joint, 
        interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational 
        partners.
    (d) Congressional Notice.--Upon initiating a technology 
demonstration under subsection (b), the Secretary of Defense 
shall submit to the congressional defense committees written 
notice of the demonstration that includes a detailed 
description of the demonstration, including its purpose, cost, 
engagement medium, targeted audience, and any other details the 
Secretary of Defense believes will assist the committees in 
evaluating the demonstration.

demonstration under this section shall terminate on September 
30, 2022.

        Fleet and provide training within the military airlift

        this section.
            (2) Elements.--An agreement under this subsection--
                    (A) shall require, in the case of an

                completion of the assignment, the employee will 
                serve in the civil service for a period at 
                least equal to three times the length of the 
                assignment, unless the employee is sooner 
                involuntarily separated from the service of the 
                employee's agency; and
                    (B) shall provide that if the employee of

        and other security forces of or associated with the

                    ACTIVITIES.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) Iran continues to conduct a range of malign 
        military and intelligence activities in the region and 
        around the globe which constitute a significant threat

        interests of the United States and our allies and 
        partners;
            (2) Iran continues funding its conventional and 
        unconventional military development, including its 
        ballistic missile development programs, and its 
        acquisition of destabilizing conventional weapons,

        and build the collective capacity of our allies and 
        partners in the region to address threats;
            (3) the sale of advanced weaponry, including

        sponsorship of terrorism, and the violation of the 
        human rights of the Iranian people justify continued

        the region's security architecture, build our partners' 
        capacity to respond to external aggression, increase 
        the interoperability of our respective military forces, 
        and continue to better integrate their advanced 
        capabilities.

                    TREATY.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the development and deployment of a nuclear 
        ground-launched cruise missile by the Russian 
        Federation is in violation of the INF Treaty, and the 
        Russian Federation should return to compliance with the 
        INF Treaty;
            (2) the increasing role for nuclear weapons in the 
        Russian Federation's military strategy, and the 
        continuing violation of the INF Treaty threatens the 
        viability of the INF Treaty;
            (3) efforts taken by the President to compel the 
        Russian Federation to return to compliance with the INF 
        Treaty, including by developing military and 
        nonmilitary options, must be persistent and are in the 
        best interests of the United States, but cannot be 
        open-ended;
            (4) not only should the Russian Federation end its 
        cheating with respect to the INF Treaty, but also its 
        illegal occupation of the sovereign territory of 
        another nation, its plans for stationing nuclear 
        weapons on that nation's territory, and its cheating 
        and violation of as many as eight of its 12 arms 
        control obligations and agreements; and
            (5) there are several United States military 
        requirements that would be addressed by the development 
        and deployment of systems currently prohibited by the 
        INF Treaty.
    (b) Notifications of Russian Federation Violations of INF 
Treaty.--
            (1) In general.--The President shall submit to the 
        appropriate congressional committees a notification

                    (A) whether the Russian Federation has 
                flight-tested, deployed, or possesses a 
                military system that has achieved an initial 
                operating capability that is either a ground-
                launched ballistic missile or ground-launched 
                cruise missile with a flight-tested range of 
                between 500 and 5,500 kilometers; and

                the INF Treaty, including by agreeing to 
                inspections and verification measures necessary 
                to achieve high confidence that any missile

                its entry into force.

        paragraph (1) shall be submitted not later than 30 days

        provided to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
        (NATO) and allies of the United States in East Asia, on 
        the Russian Federation's flight testing, operating 
        capability and deployment of ground launched ballistic 
        missiles or ground-launched cruise missiles with a 
        flight-tested range of between 500 and 5,500

        description of efforts with such allies to develop

        Federation (including violations of the INF Treaty).
            (2) Form.--The notification required under

        begun taking measures to return to full compliance with 
        the INF Treaty, including by agreeing to verification 
        measures necessary to achieve high confidence that any 
        ground-launched ballistic missile or ground-launched 
        cruise missile with a flight-tested range of between 
        500 and 5,500 kilometers will be eliminated, the 
        Secretary of Defense shall, not later than 120 days 
        after that date, submit to the appropriate

                the INF Treaty and including capabilities that 
                may be acquired from allies of the United 
                States.
                    (B) Countervailing strike capabilities to 
                enhance the forces of the United States or 
                allies of the United States, whether or not 
                such capabilities are in compliance with the 
                INF Treaty and including capabilities that may 
                be acquired from allies of the United States.
                    (C) Active defenses to defend against 
                intermediate-range ground-launched cruise

        tested and fielded most expediently, with the most 
        priority given to capabilities that the Chairman 
        determines could be fielded in two years.
            (4) Other response options.--The Secretary of 
        Defense shall also include in the plan required by

            (1) The safety, security, reliability, and 
        credibility of the nuclear deterrent of the United 
        States is a vital national security priority.
            (2) Nuclear weapons require special consideration 
        because of the political and military importance of the 
        weapons, the destructive power of the weapons, and the 
        potential consequences of an accident or unauthorized 
        act involving the weapons.
            (3) The assured safety, security, and control of 
        nuclear weapons and related systems are of paramount 
        importance.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Navy has repeatedly demonstrated the 
        commitment and prioritization of the Navy to the 
        nuclear deterrence mission of the Navy;
            (2) the emphasis of the Navy on ensuring a safe, 
        secure, reliable, and credible sea-based nuclear 
        deterrent force has been matched by an equal emphasis 
        on ensuring the assured safety, security, and control 
        of nuclear weapons and related systems ashore; and
            (3) the Navy is commended for the actions the Navy 
        has taken subsequent to the 2014 Nuclear Enterprise 
        Review to ensure continued focus on the nuclear 
        deterrent mission by all ranks within the Navy, 
        including the clarification and assignment of specific 
        responsibilities and authorities within the Navy 
        contained in OPNAV Instruction 8120.1 and SECNAV 
        Instruction 8120.1B.

SEC. 1660. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE NUCLEAR FORCE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 
                    OF THE AIR FORCE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) On February 6, 2014, Air Force Global Strike 
        Command initiated a force improvement program for the 
        intercontinental ballistic missile force designed to 
        improve mission effectiveness, strengthen culture and 
        morale, and identify areas in need of investment by 
        soliciting input from airmen performing 
        intercontinental ballistic missile operations.
            (2) The intercontinental ballistic missile force 
        improvement program generated more than 300 
        recommendations to strengthen intercontinental 
        ballistic missile operations and served as a model for 
        subsequent force improvement programs in other mission 
        areas, such as bomber operations and sustainment.
            (3) On May 28, 2014, as part of the nuclear force 
        improvement program, the Air Force announced it would 
        make immediate improvements in the nuclear mission of 
        the Air Force, including enhancing career opportunities 
        for airmen in the nuclear career field, ensuring 
        training activities focused on performing the mission 
        in the field, reforming the personnel reliability 
        program, establishing special pay rates for positions 
        in the nuclear career field, and creating a new service 
        medal for nuclear deterrence operations.
            (4) Chief of Staff of the Air Force Mark Welsh has 
        said that, as part of the nuclear force improvement 
        program, the Air Force will increase nuclear-manning 
        levels and strengthen professional development for the 
        members of the Air Force supporting the nuclear mission 
        of the Air Force in order ``to address shortfalls and 
        offer our airmen more stable work schedule and better 
        quality of life''.
            (5) Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James, 
        in recognition of the importance of the nuclear mission 
        of the Air Force, proposed elevating the grade of the 
        commander of the Air Force Global Strike Command from 
        lieutenant general to general, and on March 30, 2015, 
        the Senate confirmed a general as commander of that 
        command.
            (6) The Air Force redirected more than $160,000,000 
        in fiscal year 2014 to alleviate urgent, near-term 
        shortfalls within the nuclear mission of the Air Force 
        as part of the nuclear force improvement program.
            (7) The Air Force plans to spend more than 
        $200,000,000 on the nuclear force improvement program 
        in fiscal year 2015, and requested more than 
        $130,000,000 for the program for fiscal year 2016.
            (8) Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said on 
        November 14, 2014, that ``[t]he nuclear mission plays a 
        critical role in ensuring the Nation's safety. No other 
        enterprise we have is more important''.
            (9) Secretary Hagel also said that the budget for 
        the nuclear mission of the Air Force should increase by 
        10 percent over a five-year period.
            (10) Section 1652 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
        ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for 
        Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3654; 
        10 U.S.C. 491 note) declares it the policy of the 
        United States ``to ensure that the members of the Armed 
        Forces who operate the nuclear deterrent of the United 
        States have the training, resources, and national 
        support required to execute the critical national 
        security mission of the members''.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the nuclear mission of the Air Force should be 
        a top priority for the Department of the Air Force and 
        for Congress;
            (2) the members of the Air Force who operate and 
        maintain the nuclear deterrent of the United States 
        perform work that is vital to the security of the 
        United States;
            (3) the nuclear force improvement program of the 
        Air Force has made significant near-term improvements 
        for the members of the Air Force in the nuclear career 
        field of the Air Force;
            (4) Congress should support long-term investments 
        in the Air Force nuclear enterprise that sustain the 
        progress made under the nuclear force improvement 
        program;
            (5) the Air Force should--
                    (A) regularly inform Congress on the 
                progress being made under the nuclear force 
                improvement program and its efforts to 
                strengthen the nuclear enterprise; and
                    (B) make Congress aware of any additional 
                actions that should be taken to optimize 
                performance of the nuclear mission of the Air 
                Force and maximize the strength of the 
                strategic deterrent of the United States; and
            (6) future budgets for the Air Force should reflect 
        the importance of the nuclear mission of the Air Force 
        and the need to provide members of the Air Force 
        assigned to the nuclear mission the best possible 
        support and quality of life.

SEC. 1661. SENSES OF CONGRESS ON IMPORTANCE OF COOPERATION AND 
                    COLLABORATION BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND UNITED 
                    KINGDOM ON NUCLEAR ISSUES AND ON 60TH ANNIVERSARY 
                    OF FLEET BALLISTIC MISSILE PROGRAM.

    (a) Collaboration Between United States and United 
Kingdom.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) cooperation and collaboration under the 1958 
        Mutual Defense Agreement and the 1963 Polaris Sales 
        Agreement are fundamental elements of the security of 
        the United States and the United Kingdom as well as 
        international stability;
            (2) the recent renewal of the Mutual Defense 
        Agreement and the continued work under the Polaris 
        Sales Agreement underscore the enduring and long-term 
        value of the agreements to both countries; and
            (3) the vital efforts performed under the purview 
        of both the Mutual Defense Agreement and the Polaris 
        Sales Agreement are critical to sustaining and 
        enhancing the capabilities and knowledge base of both 
        countries regarding nuclear deterrence, nuclear 
        nonproliferation and counterproliferation, and naval 
        nuclear propulsion.
    (b) 60th Anniversary of Fleet Ballistic Missile Program.--
It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) November 2015 marks the 60th anniversary of the 
        Fleet Ballistic Missile Program of the Navy, which 
        evolved from the Special Project Office established 
        under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and has provided 
        credible, reliable, and affordable strategic deterrence 
        solutions to the warfighter by producing more than 
        3,600 missiles over six different generations;
            (2) The current Trident II D5 missile system has 
        provided a reliable deterrent for nearly 25 years 
        onboard Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines and has 
        demonstrated reliability that is second-to-none as 
        evidenced by more than two decades of annual, 
        operationally representative flight testing;
            (3) Congress congratulates the men and women of 
        Strategic Systems Programs, their industry partners, 
        and the Marines, Sailors, and Coast Guardsmen who stand 
        watch ensuring the safety, security, and credibility of 
        the strategic weapons of the United States; and
            (4) Strategic Systems Programs, and the strategic 
        weapon system the programs provide, are a vital and

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) a modern and responsive nuclear weapons 
        infrastructure is only one component of a nuclear 
        posture that is agile, flexible, and responsive to 
        change; and
            (2) to ensure the nuclear deterrent of the United 
        States remains safe, secure, reliable, credible, and 
        responsive, the United States must continually exercise 
        all capabilities required to conceptualize, study, 
        design, develop, engineer, certify, produce, and deploy 
        nuclear weapons.

        required, including prototypes, flight testing, and 
        development of plans for certification without the need 
        for nuclear explosive testing.
            ``(4) Shorten design, certification, and 
        manufacturing cycles and timelines to minimize the 
        amount of time and costs leading to an engineering 
        prototype and production.
            ``(5) Continually exercise processes for the 
        integration and coordination of all relevant elements 
        and processes of the Administration and the Department 
        of Defense required to ensure stockpile responsiveness.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) in the past decade, competition of the 
        management and operating contracts for the national 
        security laboratories has resulted in significant 
        increases in fees paid to the contractors--funding that 
        otherwise could be used to support program and mission 
        activities of the National Nuclear Security 
        Administration;
            (2) competition of the management and operating 
        contracts of the nuclear security enterprise is an 
        important mechanism to help realize cost savings, seek 
        efficiencies, improve performance, and hold contractors 
        accountable;
            (3) when the Administrator for Nuclear Security 
        considers it appropriate to achieve those goals, the 
        Administrator should conduct competition of such 
        contracts while recognizing the unique nature of 
        federally funded research and development centers; and
            (4) the Administrator should ensure that fixed fees 
        and performance-based fees contained in management and 
        operating contracts are as low as possible to maintain 
        a focus on national service while attracting high-
        quality contractors and achieving the goals of the 
        competition.

SEC. 3137. GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF NUCLEAR SECURITY ENTERPRISE.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) correcting the longstanding problems with the 
        governance and management of the nuclear security 
        enterprise will require robust, personal, and long-term 
        engagement by the President, the Secretary of Energy, 
        the Administrator for Nuclear Security, and leaders 
        from the appropriate congressional committees;
            (2) recent and past studies of the governance and 
        management of the nuclear security enterprise have 
        provided a list of reasonable, practical, and 
        actionable steps that the Secretary and the 
        Administrator should take to make the nuclear security 
        enterprise more efficient and more effective; and
            (3) lasting and effective change to the nuclear 
        security enterprise will require personal engagement by 
        senior leaders, a clear plan, and mechanisms for 
        ensuring follow-through and accountability.
    (b) Implementation Plan.--
            (1) Implementation action team.--(A) The Secretary 
        and the Administrator shall jointly establish a team of 
        senior officials from the Department of Energy and the 
        National Nuclear Security Administration to develop and 
        carry out an implementation plan to reform the 
        governance and management of the nuclear security 
        enterprise to improve the effectiveness and efficiency 
        of the nuclear security enterprise. Such plan shall be 
        developed and implemented in accordance with the 
        National Nuclear Security Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 
        2401 et seq.), the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 
        2501 et seq.), and any other provision of law.

        year, is a national security priority;
            (2) delaying creation of a modern, responsive 
        nuclear infrastructure until the 2030s is an 
        unacceptable risk to the nuclear deterrent and the

            (3) timelines for creating certain capacities for 
        production of plutonium pits and other nuclear weapons 
        components must be driven by the requirement to hedge

                life extension programs.
                    (B) The annual pit production requirement, 
                including the numbers of pits produced, to 
                support a responsive nuclear weapons 
                infrastructure to hedge against technical and 
                geopolitical risk.

        means and programs for addressing such risks and 
        opportunities.
    (b) Appropriate Congressional Committees Defined.--In this 
section, the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' 
means--

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

      The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at 
the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on 
the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 1735), to 
authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2016 for military 
activities of the Department of Defense, for military 
construction, and for defense activities of the Department of 
Energy, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such 
fiscal year, and for other purposes, submit the following joint 
statement to the House and the Senate in explanation of the 
effect of the action agreed upon by the managers and 
recommended in the accompanying conference report:
      The Senate amendment struck all of the House bill after 
the enacting clause and inserted a substitute text.
      The House recedes from its disagreement to the amendment 
of the Senate with an amendment that is a substitute for the 
House bill and the Senate amendment. The differences between 
the House bill, the Senate amendment, and the substitute agreed 
to in conference are noted below, except for clerical 
corrections, conforming changes made necessary by agreements 
reached by the conferees, and minor drafting and clarifying 
changes.
Compliance with rules of the House of Representatives and Senate 
        regarding earmarks and congressionally directed spending items
      Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives and Rule XLIV(3) of the Standing Rules 
of the Senate, neither this conference report nor the 
accompanying joint statement of managers contains any 
congressional earmarks, congressionally directed spending 
items, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits, as 
defined in such rules.
Summary of discretionary authorizations and budget 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 2016 was $604.2 billion. Of this amount, $534.2 
billion was requested for base Department of Defense programs, 
$50.9 billion was requested for overseas contingency 
operations, and $19.0 billion was requested for national 
security programs in the Department of Energy and the Defense 
Nuclear Facilities Safety Board.
      The conference agreement would authorize $604.2 billion 
in fiscal year 2016, including $496.4 billion for base 
Department of Defense programs, $89.2 billion for overseas 
contingency operations, and $18.6 billion for national security 
programs in the Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear 
Facilities Safety Board.
      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 2016 
defense programs.
Budgetary effects of this Act (sec. 4)
      The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision 
(sec. 4) that would require the budgetary effects of this Act 
be determined in accordance with the procedures established in 
title I of the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (Public Law 
111-139).
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The agreement includes the Senate provision.

                              Budget Items

                                  ARMY

Stryker vehicle lethality upgrades
      The House bill contained an increase in funding for 
Stryker vehicle lethality upgrades of $35.0 million in 
Research, Development, Test & Evaluation, Army and $44.5 
million in Procurement of Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles, 
Army respectively.
      The Senate amendment contained an increase in these same 
funding areas of $97.0 million and $314.0 million, 
respectively.
      The conference report, in Sections 4101 and 4102, 
includes increased funding in line with the Senate amendment.
      The conferees support the Army's plan to upgrade 81 
Stryker vehicles with increased lethality as requested by the 
U.S. Army Europe in a recent Operational Need Statement. The 
conferees understand the urgency for this requirement given 
heightened security concerns of our NATO partners due to 
Russian aggression in Ukraine. As such, the conferees expect 
the rapid production of fully serviceable, upgraded Strykers. 
In order to meet the compressed timeline for fielding upgraded 
Strykers to the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, the conferees expect the 
Army to manage this program with dispatch and efficiency. 
Identified risks associated with cost, schedule, and 
performance are to be managed with focused controls and 
leadership. The conferees view this initiative, which is 
intended to increase the combat power of a forward deployed 
unit, as an opportunity to succeed in accordance with 
significant acquisition reforms illustrated in many provisions 
within this bill.
      With regard to cost, the conferees note the Army 
currently plans on starting with existing chassis of Stryker 
vehicles discarded during the upgrade to Double V Hull (DVH) 
Strykers. This approach appears to add significantly to the 
unit cost for the lethality upgrades which the Army has 
informed the defense committees may be approximately $4.5 
million per vehicle. The conferees note that the Army already 
has extensive upgrade programs for the Stryker vehicle to 
include additional DVH Strykers and the Engineering Change 
Proposal modernization program. It is unclear if the Army 
ultimately plans on adding the lethality initiative to DVH 
Strykers, including those equipped with the Engineering Change 
Proposal upgrade. The conferees are concerned that simply 
adding a broad Stryker lethality package for the Army's Stryker 
Brigade Combat Teams could add billions of dollars to the 
already stressed resources of the combat vehicle portfolio. 
Therefore, the committee encourages the Army to reduce the unit 
cost of the Stryker lethality upgrade program and evaluate ways 
to more efficiently pursue upgrades to the Stryker vehicle 
fleet and Stryker Brigade Combat Teams.

                               AIR FORCE

C-130H Modifications
      The base budget request included $7.0 million in Aircraft 
Procurement, Air Force, Line 44 for C-130.
      The House bill authorized a funding increase in that line 
item of $73.2 million for the restructured C-130 Avionics 
Modernization Program (AMP) Increments I and II ($10.0 
million), T-56 3.5 Engine Modification ($33.2 million), and 
Eight-bladed Propeller ($30.0 million).
      The Senate amendment would authorize an increase in that 
line item by $123.2 million for the restructured C-130 AMP 
Increments I and II ($75.0 million), T-56 3.5 Engine 
Modification ($33.2 million), Electronic Propeller Control 
System ($13.5 million), and In-flight Propeller Balancing 
System certification ($1.5 million).
      The agreement authorizes a total funding increase for 
Aircraft Procurement, Air Force, Line 44 of $139.2 million for 
the restructured C-130 AMP Increments I and II ($75.0 million), 
T-56 3.5 Engine Modification ($33.2 million), Eight-Bladed 
Propeller ($16.0 million), Electronic Propeller Control System 
($13.5 million), and In-flight Propeller Balancing System 
certification ($1.5 million).

              Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations

Authorization of appropriations (sec. 101)
      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 101) that 
would authorize the appropriations for procurement activities 
at the levels identified in section 4101 of division D of this 
Act.
      The Senate bill contained an identical provision (sec. 
101).
      The conference agreement includes this provision.

                       Subtitle B--Army Programs

Prioritization of upgraded UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters within Army 
        National Guard (sec. 111)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 112) that 
would require the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to issue 
guidance that prioritizes UH-60 helicopter upgrades within the 
Army National Guard to those units with the highest flight hour 
aircraft and highest utilization rates, as well as require the 
Chief to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees within 30 days after issuing such guidance, that 
describes such guidance.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Roadmap for replacement of A/MH-6 Mission Enhanced Little Bird aircraft 
        to meet special operations requirements (sec. 112)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 142) that 
would direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
congressional defense committees a strategy for the replacement 
of the A/MH-6 Mission Enhanced Little Bird aircraft to meet 
requirements particular to special operations for future 
rotary-wing, light attack, and reconnaissance requirements.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Report on Options to Accelerate Replacement of UH-60A Blackhawk 
        Helicopters of Army National Guard (sec. 113)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 113) that 
would require the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to 
the congressional defense committees by March 1, 2016, 
containing detailed options for the potential acceleration of 
the replacement of all UH-60A helicopters of the Army National 
Guard.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Sense of Congress on Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Protection Kits (sec. 
        114)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 114) that 
would express the sense of Congress regarding the survivability 
and operational performance benefits provided by tactical 
wheeled vehicle add-on armor protection kits for the Army's 
heavy tactical wheeled vehicle fleet.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

                       Subtitle C--Navy Programs

Modification of CVN-78 class aircraft carrier program (sec. 121)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 114) 
that would amend subsection (f) of section 122 of the John 
Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 
(Public Law 109-364; 120 Stat. 2104), as added by section 
121(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66; 127 Stat. 692), by adding a 
reporting requirement to the USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) 
quarterly report. Beginning January 1, 2016, the Secretary of 
the Navy would be required to submit, as part of the CVN-79 
quarterly report, a description of new design and engineering 
changes to CVN-78 class aircraft carriers that exceed $5.0 
million and occurred during the reporting period. The provision 
would require the report to include program or ship cost 
increases for each design or engineering change and any cost 
reduction achieved. The Secretary of the Navy and Chief of 
Naval Operations would each be required to sign this additional 
reporting requirement and would be precluded from delegating 
the certification. The required certification would have to 
include a determination that each change serves the national 
security interests of the United States; cannot be deferred to 
a future ship due to operational necessity, safety, or 
substantial cost reduction; and was reviewed and endorsed by 
the Secretary of the Navy and Chief of Naval Operations.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Amendment to cost limitation baseline for CVN-78 class aircraft carrier 
        program (sec. 122)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 111) 
that would further amend section 122 of the John Warner 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public 
Law 109-364) as amended by section 121(a) of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-
66) by adjusting the procurement cost cap for USS John F. 
Kennedy (CVN-79) and subsequent CVN-78 class aircraft carriers 
from $11,498,000,000 to $11,398,000,000.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would add an 
additional amendment to section 121(b) of the John Warner 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public 
Law 109-364), as amended by section 121(a) of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-
66). The conferees recognize that the Department of the Navy 
has made considerable gains in controlling the cost of CVN-78 
class aircraft carriers and believe further efforts at cost 
reduction are warranted. The current cost cap and cost estimate 
for CVN-79 is $11.5 billion, which includes only limited 
program management reserve for unforeseeable issues during CVN-
79 construction. The conferees expect the Department to 
continue to employ efforts to reduce costs on this ship class 
and accordingly are lowering the Congressional cap to $11.4 
billion. However, if during construction of CVN-79 the Chief of 
Naval Operations determines that measures required to complete 
the ship within the revised cost cap shall result in an 
unacceptable reduction to the ship's operational capability, 
the Secretary of the Navy may increase the CVN-79 cost cap up 
to $11.5 billion. If such action is taken, the Secretary of the 
Navy shall adhere to the notification requirements specified in 
section 121(d) of the John Warner National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364).
      The conferees note that section 122 of the John Warner 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public 
Law 109-364) set the cost cap for the lead ship at $10.5 
billion, plus adjustments for inflation and other factors, and 
at $8.1 billion for subsequent CVN-78 class carriers, plus 
adjustments for inflation and other factors. Section 122 was 
amended by section 121(a) of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66), which revised the 
cost cap for the lead ship to $12.9 billion, plus adjustments 
for inflation and other factors, and to $11.5 billion for 
subsequent CVN-78 class carriers, plus adjustments for 
inflation and other factors. The conferees understand 90 
percent or $3.1 billion of the $3.4 billion increase in the 
cost cap for follow-on ships is attributable to economic 
inflation, which includes actual inflation realized and updated 
projections of future inflation based on Navy shipbuilding 
inflation indices. In view of this significant cost growth 
attributed to inflation, the Congressional Budget Office is 
directed to provide a report to the congressional defense 
committees no later than December 1, 2015 that includes the 
following elements:
            (1) Explanation of how inflation was calculated and 
        projected in the cost estimates for CVN-78 class 
        aircraft carriers in each annual budget from fiscal 
        year 2007 to fiscal year 2015;
            (2) Description of inflation rates for CVN-78, CVN-
        79, and CVN-80, by fiscal year, from fiscal year 2007 
        until the obligation work limiting date for each ship;
            (3) Comparison of projected inflation rates vs. 
        actual inflation rates for CVN-78 class aircraft 
        carriers, by fiscal year, from fiscal year 2007 to 
        fiscal year 2015;
            (4) Explanation of the key factors that are used to 
        plan for and calculate current and projected inflation 
        rates for CVN-78 class aircraft carrier cost estimates;
            (5) Explanation of root causes of inflation 
        escalation above the planned inflation assumed in CVN-
        78 class aircraft carrier cost estimates; and
            (6) Component-level explanation of the $3.1 billion 
        increase in the cost estimate for CVN-79 and following 
        aircraft carriers attributable to economic inflation.

Extension and modification of limitation on availability of funds for 
        Littoral Combat Ship (sec. 123)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 116) 
that would amend section 123 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) by extending the limitation on 
funds for LCS-25 and LCS-26 until pre-existing requirements are 
met and would additionally require the Navy to provide to the 
congressional defense committees the following: an acquisition 
strategy for LCS-25 through LCS-32; a LCS mission module 
acquisition strategy; a plan to outfit Flight 0 and Flight 0+ 
Littoral Combat Ships with capabilities identified for the 
upgraded Littoral Combat Ship; and a current test and 
evaluation master plan for the Littoral Combat Ship mission 
modules.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Modification to multiyear procurement authority for Arleigh Burke-class 
        destroyers and associated systems (sec. 124)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 121) that 
would amend section 123(a) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to 
clarify that the Secretary of the Navy has the authority to 
procure Flight III destroyers as part of the existing Arleigh 
Burke-class multiyear procurement authority.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The Senate report accompanying S. 3254 (S. Rept. 112-173) 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 
described Senate intent regarding the current multiyear 
procurement authority for Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and 
associated systems. The Senate report supported the change to 
buying Flight III destroyers through an engineering change 
proposal and the inclusion of such ships in the multiyear 
procurement authority, following submission of a specified 
report. The House report accompanying H.R. 1960 (H. Rept. 113-
102) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2014 expressed concern about the physical limitations 
associated with the integration of the Air and Missile Defense 
Radar on the Flight III version of the Arleigh Burke-class 
destroyer and requested a report to assess this integration 
process. Having received the required reports, the conferees 
support the changes proposed by the Secretary of the Navy to 
integrate the Air and Missile Defense Radar into the Arleigh 
Burke-class destroyers and the addition of these Flight III 
ships to the current Arleigh Burke-class multiyear procurement 
contract.

Procurement of additional Arleigh Burke class destroyer (sec. 125)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 117) 
that would allow the Secretary of the Navy to enter into a 
contract beginning with the fiscal year 2016 program year for 
the procurement of 1 Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in addition 
to the 10 DDG-51s in the fiscal year 2013 through 2017 
multiyear procurement contract or for 1 DDG-51 in fiscal year 
2018. The Secretary may employ incremental funding for such 
procurement.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Refueling and complex overhaul of the USS George Washington (sec. 126)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 122) 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 amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit new 
aircraft carrier program procurement authority to the nuclear 
refueling and complex overhaul of USS George Washington (CVN-
73).
      The Department of the Navy awarded a detail design and 
construction contract for the USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) on 
June 5, 2015. At the time of award, Program Executive Officer 
(PEO), Aircraft Carriers, Rear Admiral Thomas Moore, indicated 
``. . . with a stable design, mature requirements and an 
improved build process, we will reduce construction hours by 18 
percent, lower the cost to build the ship by almost $1 billion 
in real terms compared to CVN-78. . .''. Following $2.4 billion 
in cost growth on the lead ship, CVN-78, the conferees are 
encouraged by the ongoing collaboration between the Department 
of the Navy and industry to achieve cost reductions. The 
conferees note that other ship construction programs have been 
able to reduce costs through acquisition efficiencies and 
economic order decisions. Therefore, to better assess 
acquisition options, the conferees direct the Secretary of the 
Navy to submit a report to the congressional defense committees 
by March 1, 2016, that provides an assessment of the merits 
associated with using economic order quantity procurement with 
CVN-80 and CVN-81. This report should assess the specific 
aircraft carrier components that would be best suited to 
include in a potential economic order quantity contract, and 
the estimated cost savings that could be achieved using this 
procurement authority.

Fleet replenishment oiler program (sec. 127)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 118) 
that would grant the Secretary of the Navy contracting 
authority to procure up to six fleet replenishment oilers (T-
AO(X)). This new ship class is a non-developmental 
recapitalization program based on existing commercial 
technology and standards. The ship design is considered to be 
low risk by the Navy, with the design scheduled to be complete 
prior to the start of construction on the lead ship. This 
provision would enable an estimated $45.0 million in savings 
per ship, for ships 2-6, for a total of $225.0 million in 
savings compared to current annual procurement cost estimates.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Limitation on availability of funds for USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) 
        (sec. 128)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 112) 
that would limit $100.0 million in Shipbuilding and Conversion, 
Navy procurement funds for USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) subject 
to the submission of a certification regarding full ship shock 
trials and two reports.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would provide 
the Secretary of Defense with waiver authority to delay full 
ship shock trials on the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) until 
after the ship's first deployment but prior to the first major 
maintenance availability.

Limitation on availability of funds for USS Enterprise (CVN-80) (sec. 
        129)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 113) 
that would limit $191.4 million in advance procurement funds 
for USS Enterprise (CVN-80), until the Secretary of the Navy 
submits a certification and report to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and of the House of Representatives. 
$191.4 million is the sum of funding requested for plans 
(detailed) and basic construction for CVN-80.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
submission of the certification and report to all four 
congressional defense committees, as well as require the 
certification be provided within 90 days of enactment of this 
Act.

Limitation on availability of funds for Littoral Combat Ship (sec. 130)

advance procurement of materials for the upgraded Littoral 
Combat Ships (LCS), designated as LCS-33 and subsequent, until 
the Secretary of the Navy submits to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and of the House of Representatives: a 
capabilities-based assessment to assess capability gaps and 
associated capability requirements and risks for the upgraded 
LCS, an updated capabilities development document for the 
upgraded LCS, and a report describing the upgraded LCS 
modernization.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that changes the 
limitation to 50 percent of fiscal year 2016 funds and allows 
for a capabilities-based assessment or equivalent report.

Reporting requirement for Ohio-class replacement submarine program 
        (sec. 131)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 119) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit Ohio-
class replacement submarine cost tracking information, together 
with annual budget justification materials. While the first 
Ohio-class replacement submarine is not planned to be 
authorized until fiscal year 2021, the national importance of 
this program and significant cost will continue to merit close 
oversight by the congressional defense committees.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

rate initial production.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment to change the 
provision to apply only in fiscal years 2016 or 2017, and other 
technical clarifications. The provision would not apply to 
individual aircraft if the Secretary of the Air Force, on a 
case-by-case basis, determines an individual aircraft to be 
non-operational because of mishaps, other damage, or being 
uneconomical to repair.

Limitation on availability of funds for F-35A aircraft procurement 
        (sec. 145)

Secretary of Defense certifies to the congressional defense 
committees that F-35A aircraft delivered in fiscal year 2018 
will have full combat capability with currently planned Block 
3F hardware, software, and weapons carriage.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment to amend the 
certification level from the Secretary of Defense to the 
Secretary of the Air Force, and to amend the effective date of 
certification criteria from ``full combat capability as 
currently planned . . .'' to ``full combat capability, as 
determined on the date of enactment of this 
Act . . .''

Prohibition on availability of funds for retirement of KC-10 aircraft 
        (sec. 146)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 135) that 
would prohibit any funds authorized to be appropriated by this 
Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 for the 
Air Force to be obligated or expended during such fiscal year 
to divest or transfer, or prepare to divest or transfer, KC-10 
aircraft.
      The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment to change the 
provision to apply only in fiscal years 2016 or 2017. The 
provision would not include the prohibition on transfer of 
aircraft, and would not apply to an individual KC-10 aircraft 
if the Secretary of the Air Force, on a case-by-case basis, 
determines the aircraft to be non-operational because of 
mishaps, other damage, or being uneconomical to repair.

Limitation on availability of funds for transfer of C-130 aircraft 
        (sec. 147)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 136) 
that would limit the availability of all funds authorized to be 
appropriated for the transfer from one facility of the 
Department of Defense to another any C-130H aircraft, initiate 
any C-130 manpower authorization adjustments, retire or prepare 
to retire any C-130H aircraft, or close any C-130H unit until 
90 days after the date on which the Secretary of the Air Force, 
in consultation with the Secretary of the Army, and after 
certification by the commanders of the XVIII Airborne Corps, 
82nd Airborne Division, and United States Army Special 
Operations Command, certified that the Air Force would maintain 
dedicated C-130 wings to support the daily training of Army 
airborne and special operations units, and the failure to 
maintain such Air Force operations would not adversely impact 
the daily training requirement of those airborne and special 
operations units.
      The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 
1060c).
      The House recedes with an amendment that would change the 
required certification to be made by the Secretaries and Chiefs 
of Staff of the Army and the Air Force, in consultation with 
the commanders of the XVIIIth Airborne Corps, 82d Airborne 
Division, and Army Special Operations Command. The amendment 
also contains other minor technical clarifications.

Limitation on availability of funds for executive communications 
        upgrades for C-20 and C-37 aircraft (sec. 148)

      The House bill contained a provision (Sec. 131) that 
would limit availability of funds to upgrade the executive 
communications of C-20 and C-37 aircraft until the Secretary of 
the Air Force certifies to certain specified criteria.
      The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Limitation on use of funds for T-1A Jayhawk aircraft (sec. 149)

aircraft until 30 days after the Secretary of the Air Force 
submits to the congressional defense committees the report 
required under section 142 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291).
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment to amend the 
provision to state: ``Of the funds authorized to be 
appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal 
year 2016 Aircraft Procurement, Air Force, for avionics 
modification to the T-1A Jayhawk aircraft, not more than 85 
percent may be obligated or expended until a period of 30 days 
has elapsed following the date on which the Secretary of the 
Air Force submits to the congressional defense committees the 
report required under section 142 of the Carl Levin and Howard 
P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3320).''

Notification of retirement of B-1, B-2, and B-52 bomber aircraft (sec. 
        150)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 131) 
that would limit the retirement of B-1, B-2, or B-52 bomber 
aircraft during a fiscal year prior to initial operational 
capability of the Long Range Strike Bomber unless the Secretary 
of Defense certified to specified criteria in the materials 
submitted in support of the budget of the President for that 
fiscal year as submitted to Congress.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would change the 
limitation to a notification requiring that in the period 
before the date of initial operational capability of the long-
range strike bomber aircraft, before retiring or preparing to 
retire any B-1, B-2, or B-52 bomber aircraft the Secretary of 
the Air Force includes in the defense budget materials a 
notification of the proposed retirement including the rationale 
for the retirement, the effects of the retirement, and how the 
Secretary will mitigate any risks relating to the retirement. 
The provision would not apply to individual B-1, B-2, or B-52 
aircraft if the Secretary of the Air Force, on a case-by-case 
basis, determines the aircraft to be non-operational because of 
mishaps, other damage, or being uneconomical to repair.

Inventory requirement for fighter aircraft of the Air Force (sec. 151)

      The Senate amendment included a provision (sec. 132) that 
would amend section 8062 of title 10, United States Code, by 
adding a new subsection requiring the Secretary of the Air 
Force to maintain a minimum total active inventory of 1,950 
fighter aircraft, within which the Secretary would also be 
required to maintain a minimum of 1,116 fighter aircraft as 
primary mission aircraft inventory (combat-coded). The 
provision would also provide additional limitations on fighter 
retirements by requiring the Secretary of the Air Force to 
certify to certain specified criteria, and also require a 
detailed report in advance of retiring fighter aircraft.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment to strike the 
amendment to section 8062 of title 10, change the limitation 
period to a 2-year period beginning on October 1, 2015, and 
reduce the minimum numbers of fighters required to be 
maintained by the Air Force to 1,900 total aircraft inventory 
and 1,100 primary mission aircraft inventory (combat-coded). 
The amendment would also eliminate the certification and 
detailed report requirements, and require specified information 
in a report to be included in the material submitted in support 
of the budget for a particular fiscal year, if proposing the 
retirement of fighter aircraft in that fiscal year's budget. 
The report would not apply to individual fighter aircraft if 
the Secretary of the Air Force, on a case-by-case basis, 
determines the aircraft to be non-operational because of 
mishaps, other damage, or being uneconomical to repair.
      The conferees recognize that based on the 2010 
Quadrennial Defense Review, the Air Force determined through 
extensive analysis that a force structure of 1,200 primary 
mission aircraft and 2,000 total aircraft is required to 
execute the National Defense Strategy with increased 
operational risk. Subsequently, based on the 2012 Defense 
Strategic Guidance and fiscal constraints, analysis showed the 
Air Force could decrease fighter force structure capacity by 
approximately 100 additional aircraft; however, at an even 
higher level of risk.
      The conferees agree reductions in fighter force capacity 
below the 1,900 total and 1,100 combat-coded inventory levels, 
in light of ongoing and anticipated operations in Iraq and 
Syria against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, coupled 
with a potential delay of force withdrawals from Afghanistan 
and a revanchist Russia, poses excessive risk to the Air 
Force's ability to execute the National Defense Strategy, 
causes remaining fighter squadrons to deploy more frequently, 
and drives even lower readiness rates across the combat air 
forces.

Sense of Congress regarding the OCONUS basing of F-35A aircraft (sec. 
        152)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 139) 
that would express the sense of Congress regarding basing of 
the F-35A aircraft outside of the continental United States.
      The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 136).
      The House recedes with an amendment to make technical and 
clarifying corrections.

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

Limitation on availability of funds for Joint Battle Command-Platform 
        (sec. 161)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 141) that 
would require the Assistant Secretary of the Army for 
Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology to submit a report by 
March 1, 2016, to the congressional defense committees that 
addresses the effectiveness, suitability, and survivability 
shortfalls of the joint battle command-platform equipment 
identified by the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation 
in the Director's fiscal year 2014 annual report to Congress. 
This section would also further limit the obligation or 
expenditure of 25 percent of the funds for the joint battle 
command-platform until 30 days after the Assistant Secretary 
submits such a report.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Report on Army and Marine Corps modernization plan for small arms (sec. 
        162)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 151) 
that would require the Secretaries of the Army and Navy to 
jointly submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and House of Representatives a report on the plan of the 
Army and Marine Corps to modernize small arms.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Study on use of different types of enhanced 5.56mm ammunition by the 
        Army and the Marine Corps (sec. 163)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 144) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
the congressional defense committees on the use of two 
different types of 5.56mm ammunition by the Army and the Marine 
Corps.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that requires the 
Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract with a federally 
funded research and development center (FFRDC) such as the 
Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) to conduct a study on the use 
of two different types of enhanced 5.56mm ammunition by the 
Army and the Marine Corps. The conferees note that the CNA has 
conducted similar studies on small arms and small caliber 
ammunition and believe the CNA could meet the requirements of 
this study.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

Limitation on Availability of Funds for AN/TPQ-53 Radar Systems

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 111) that 
would limit the obligation or expenditure of 25 percent of the 
funds for AN/TPQ-53 radar systems until 30 days after the date 
on which the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, 
Logistics, and Technology submits to the congressional defense 
committees a review of the current delegation of acquisition 
authority to the Program Executive Officer for Missiles and 
Space.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Stationing of C-130 H aircraft avionics previously modified by the 
        Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) in support of daily 
        training and contingency requirements for Airborne and Special 
        Operations Forces

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 120) 
that would require the Secretary of the Air Force to station 
aircraft previously modified by the C-130 Avionics 
Modernization Program (AMP) to support United States Army 
Airborne and United States Army Special Operations Command unit 
daily training and contingency requirements in fiscal year 
2017, and not require the aircraft to deploy in the normal 
rotation of C-130H units. The provision would also require the 
Secretary to provide such personnel as required to maintain and 
operate the aircraft.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees agree the Air Force must develop a plan 
that incorporates the five C-130H aircraft previously modified 
with the AMP upgrade, the four purchased AMP installation kits, 
the associated simulator equipment, and sustainment and 
training software into the restructured AMP Increments I and II 
effort. The conferees also direct the Air Force to provide a 
briefing on this plan to the congressional defense committees 
not later than 60 days after enactment of this Act. The 
conferees agree the American taxpayers to date have expended 
considerable funds on the C-130 AMP and deserve to receive 
maximum value for that expenditure.

Sense of Congress on F-16 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) 
        radar upgrade

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 140) 
that would express the sense of Congress on F-16 Active 
Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar upgrades that it is 
essential to our Nation's defense that: (1) Air Force aircraft 
modification funding be made available to purchase AESA radars 
as the Air Force bridges the gap between 4th- and 5th-
generation fighters; (2) The U.S. Government must invest in 
radar upgrades to ensure 4th-generation aircraft succeed at 
zero-fail missions; and (3) The First Air Force Joint Urgent 
Operational Needs request should be met as soon as possible.
      The House bill contained no similar provisions.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees agree on the importance that should be 
accorded to funding AESA radar upgrades for existing aircraft.

Stryker Lethality Upgrades

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 161) 
that would authorize an increase in funding for Stryker vehicle 
lethality upgrades of $97.0 million in Research, Development, 
Test & Evaluation, Army and $314.0 million in Procurement of 
Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles, Army respectively.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The outcome is reflected in the tables of this report in 
Sections 4101 and 4201 and includes additional funding in line 
with the Senate amendment.

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

                              Budget Items

Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike System

      The budget request included $134.7 million in PE 64501N 
for the Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and 
Strike (UCLASS) system.
      The House bill would authorize the budget request.
      The Senate amendment would not approve the request in PE 
64501N due to contracting delays caused by waiting on the 
results of the Department of Defense Intelligence Surveillance, 
and Reconnaissance Strategic Portfolio Review. These delays 
resulted in the Navy's having excess fiscal year 2015 funds in 
the program. The Senate amendment would instead provide an 
additional $725.0 million in Research, Development, Test and 
Evaluation, Defense-wide, including $350.0 million for 
continued development and risk reduction activities of the 
Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstration (UCAS-D) aircraft that 
would benefit the overall UCLASS program, and $375.0 million to 
be used for a competitive prototyping of at least two follow-on 
air systems that move the Department toward a UCLASS program 
capable of long-range strike in a contested environment.
      The conferees believe that the Navy should develop a 
penetrating, air-refuelable, unmanned carrier-launched aircraft 
capable of performing a broad range of missions in a non-
permissive environment. The conferees believe that such an 
aircraft should be designed for full integration into carrier 
air wing operations--including strike operations--and possess 
the range, payload, and survivability attributes as necessary 
to complement such integration. Although the Defense Department 
could develop land-based unmanned aircraft with attributes to 
support the air wing, the conferees believe that the United 
States would derive substantial strategic and operational 
benefits from operating such aircraft from a mobile seabase 
that is self-deployable and not subject to the caveats of a 
host nation.
      Therefore, the conferees recommend an increase of $350.0 
million to the UCLASS program and direct the Secretary of 
Defense to use these funds to conduct competitive air vehicle 
risk reduction activities that would lead to fielding 
penetrating, air-refuelable, UCLASS air vehicles capable of 
performing a broad range of missions in a non-permissive 
environment.
      The conferees direct the Navy to leverage both the 
lessons learned from the UCAS-D program and the existence of 
two operational UCAS-D demonstrator aircraft in support of 
these efforts. The conferees also encourage the Secretaries of 
Defense and the Navy to consider all appropriate flexible 
acquisition authorities granted in law and in this Act, 
including those for rapid prototyping. Finally, the conferees 
recommend that any contractual arrangements executed with this 
funding provide the Navy with sufficient technical data rights 
to support a subsequent competitive prototyping, follow-on 
development, or future multiple-sourced production efforts.
      The conferees look forward to reviewing the results of 
the Department of Defense Intelligence Surveillance, and 
Reconnaissance Strategic Portfolio Review and also the report 
directed in section 217 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015.

Integrated personnel and pay system for Army

      The budget request included $136.0 million in PE 65018A 
for the Integrated Personnel and Pay System--Army (IPPS-A).
      The House bill included the full requested amount.
      The Senate amendment included $86.0 million for IPPS-A, a 
reduction of $50.0 million.
      The conference agreement authorizes $121.0 million in PE 
65018A for the Integrated Personnel and Pay System--Army (IPPS-
A). Elsewhere in this Act, the conferees include a legislative 
provision that limits obligation of funds for the program, 
until provision of a required report to Congress on program 
plans.

              Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations

Authorization of appropriations (sec. 201)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 201) that 
would authorize the appropriations for research, development, 
test, and evaluation activities at the levels identified in 
section 4201 of division D of this Act.
      The Senate bill contained an identical provision (sec. 
201).
      The conference agreement includes this provision.

    Subtitle B--Program Requirements, Restrictions, and Limitations

Centers for Science, Technology, and Engineering Partnership (sec. 211)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 211) 
that would authorize a program to enhance the Department of 
Defense laboratories with innovative academic and industry 
partners in research and development activities.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Expansion of eligibility for financial assistance under Department of 
        Defense Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation 
        program to include citizens of countries participating in The 
        Technical Cooperation Program (sec. 212)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 216) 
that would expand the Department of Defense's Science, 
Mathematics, and Research for Transformation (SMART) program to 
include students from the United Kingdom, Australia, New 
Zealand, and Canada.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The conference agreement includes the provision with an 
amendment to cap the number of new foreign students entering 
the program at five per year. The conferees believe that this 
cap will help to ensure that the majority of the students in 
the program are U.S. citizens, while also giving the Department 
the flexibility to include foreign students on a trial basis. 
The conferees also believe that this cap will allow the 
Department the opportunity to work out procedures and processes 
for the potential expansion to include other kinds of foreign 
students, should the Secretary of Defense determine that is in 
the national security interest.

Expansion of education partnerships to support technology transfer and 
        transition (sec. 213)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 221) that 
would allow institutions that support technology transition or 
transfer activities, such as business schools or law schools 
with technology management programs, to participate in 
education partnerships with Defense laboratories, as authorized 
in Section 2194 of title 10, United States Code.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The conference agreement includes the provision with 
amendments that would clarify to which institutions such 
authorities would extend, authorize a sabbatical and internship 
program for university faculty and students to work in Defense 
laboratories, and provide additional emphasis on technology 
transfer and transition projects. The conferees believe that 
these amendments, taken together, would strengthen the purpose 
of the provision, which is to ensure that education 
partnerships are available for those wishing to engage in 
technology transfer or transition, in addition to traditional 
research projects.

Improvement to coordination and communication of Defense research 
        activities (sec. 214)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 231) that 
would improve the coordination and communication of defense 
research activities and technology domain awareness. The House 
bill directs the Secretary of Defense to promote, monitor, and 
evaluate programs not only among Defense research facilities, 
but also among other government facilities, as well as 
commercial and university entities. The House bill would also 
encourage the Department to achieve full awareness of 
scientific and technological advancement and innovation 
throughout the technology domain.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would add 
additional direction to the Secretary of Defense to develop and 
distribute clear technical communications to all internal and 
external entities. The conferees believe it is important that 
the Department more completely and robustly convey successes of 
Defense research and engineering activities.
      The Senate amendment would also direct the Secretary of 
Defense to ensure that publicly-funded Defense research 
facilities support national technological development goals and 
technological missions of other federal agencies, as 
appropriate. The conferees believe that taxpayer funds used for 
scientific research should be used in support of the best 
interests of the U.S. government as a whole.

Reauthorization of Global Research Watch program (sec. 215)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 214) 
that would reauthorize the Global Research Watch program for an 
additional 10 years. The Senate provision would also expand the 
responsibilities of the program to include private sector 
entities, in addition to foreign governments.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The conference agreement includes this provision.

Reauthorization of Defense research and development Rapid Innovation 
        Program (sec. 216)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 211) that 
would extend the authorization for the Department of Defense to 
execute activities for the Rapid Innovation Program through 
2020.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
213) that would reauthorize the Rapid Innovation Program for 5 
years. The Senate provision would also make technical changes 
to the program's guidelines and reporting requirements.
      The conference agreement contains the Senate provision 
with a technical edit from the House to extend the program 
through 2023. The conferees believe that it would be more 
effective to extend the program in a manner consistent with the 
end of the next program objective memorandum.

Science and technology activities to support business systems 
        information technology acquisition programs (sec. 217)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 215) 
that would mandate the establishment of science and technology 
activities that would help reduce the technical risk and life 
cycle costs of major information technology acquisition 
programs. The provision would require the Department to fund 
appropriate research, development, and capability-building 
activities to make it a ``smarter buyer'' of these programs.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The conference agreement includes the provision with an 
amendment directing the Department to conduct a gap analysis to 
identify relevant activities that are not being pursued in the 
current science and technology program.
      The conferees recognize and appreciate that the 
Department does currently engage in some activities that 
address those described in this provision and the original 
report language from the Senate Armed Services Committee. 
However, the conferees note with dismay the significant gaps in 
activities and technologies continue to exist. Examples of 
these gaps include lack of support for business process re-
engineering, for lowering costs of customization of commercial 
software, for lowering maintenance costs, for open 
architectures, for engagement with management schools and small 
businesses, and for the conversion of legacy software to modern 
systems. The conferees remain concerned that such gaps in 
science and technology activities related to business systems 
information technology acquisition, if left unaddressed, have 
the potential to severely hamper the Department's ability to 
field a modern and efficient information technology enterprise 
that meets the current and future needs of the Department.

Department of Defense technology offset program to build and maintain 
        the technological superiority of the United States (sec. 218)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 212) 
that would establish and initiative within the Department of 
Defense to maintain and enhance the military technological 
superiority of the United States. The provision would establish 
a program to accelerate the fielding of offset technologies, 
including, but not limited to, directed energy, low-cost high-
speed munitions, autonomous systems, undersea warfare, cyber 
technology, and intelligence data analytics, developed by the 
department and to accelerate the commercialization of such 
technologies. The provision would also direct the Secretary to 
establish updated policies and new acquisition and management 
practices that would speed delivery of offset technologies into 
operational use. The provision would authorize $400.0 million 
for fiscal year 2016 for initiative, of which $200.0 million 
would be authorized specifically for directed energy.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The conference agreement includes this provision with an 
amendment to remove the requirement for a strategy on the 
development of directed energy technologies.
      The conferees are aware of the challenges facing the 
Department in maintaining technological superiority with 
regards to potential future adversaries. In authorizing the 
technology offset program in this provision, the conferees 
recognize the need for the Department to have sufficient 
flexibility and resources to make sound strategic decisions for 
technology investment to respond to a more dire future security 
environment. The conferees note that the Department has a 
number of initiatives, such as the Defense Innovation 
Initiative, and the Long-Range Research and Development Plan, 
to help guide those investments.
      In particular, the Armed Services Committees of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives have been focused on 
the role directed energy weapons will have in our future 
security environment, and have been proponents of maturing 
directed energy technologies to transition them to the 
warfighting community as quickly as possible. The conferees are 
aware that the Department and the military services have 
various roadmaps for deploying these technologies, and consider 
this fund a major forcing function to drive accelerated 
development and transition.
      To better understand how the funds authorized in this 
section, in combination with other funds for directed energy 
programs, will be used to identify and transition promising 
directed energy technologies to the warfighting community, the 
conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing 
to the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives no later than 180 days after the enactment of 
this Act. This briefing should include:
            1) A description of a program management process 
        for the identification of directed energy efforts, 
        including prototyping or exercise opportunities, where 
        additional funding may support accelerated transition 
        to urgent operational needs or programs of record;
            2) A description of coordination mechanisms between 
        services and agencies undertaking directed energy 
        activities, including coordination of science and 
        technology prototyping, and programs of record;
            3) An identification of challenges from the 
        warfighting community currently impeding the adoption 
        of or confidence in directed energy weapons systems.
            4) An identification of policy, regulatory, or 
        legislative impediments or challenges that currently 
        constrain accelerated transition to the warfighting 
        community; and
            (5) Recommendations for how to improve the 
        department's ability to transition promising directed 
        energy technology initiatives to the warfighting 
        community.

Limitation on availability of funds for F-15 infrared search and track 
        capability development (sec. 219)

      The House bill contained a provision (Sec. 213) that 
would limit the availability of funds for fiscal year 2016 for 
the research, development, test, and evaluation of F-15 
infrared search and track capabilities until 30 days after the 
Secretary of Defense submits a specified report.
      The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

congressional defense committees that validates the 
requirements and conducts an independent cost-benefit analysis 
to justify funding and efficiencies. This section would also 
require the Comptroller General of the United States to submit 
a review of the certification to the congressional defense 
committees within 60 days after the date on which the Secretary 
submits his report.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The conference agreement contains the House provision 
with an amendment that would decrease the limitation from 50 
percent to 25 percent pertaining only to those funds used for 
research development test and evaluation (RDT&E) activities in 
the Advanced Development and Manufacturing facility per se and 
not all the RDT&E activities associated with the Medical 
Countermeasures Program.
      The conferees further note that Consistent with GAO 
report 15-257 (June 2015), the Secretary shall report to the 
congressional defense committees no later than February 28, 
2016 on the designation of an individual responsible for 
managing infrastructure for the Department of Defense Chemical 
and Biological defense programs, to include shared-use 
facilities such as those within the Advanced Development and 
Manufacturing program, in order to minimize duplication of 
effort within the Department of Defense and other agencies of 
the federal government. The Secretary of defense shall notify 
the congressional defense committees of the appointment of such 
individual no later than 15 days after such designation. 
Further, the conferees direct the Comptroller General to review 
the roles and responsibilities of the official designated to be 
responsible for infrastructure management, and to brief the 
congressional defense committees no later than March 31, 2016.

Limitation on availability of funds for distributed common ground 
        system of the Army (sec. 222)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 219) 
that would limit the amount of funds available to be obligated 
or expended by the Secretary of the Army to not more than 75 
percent of the amounts authorized to be obligated for fiscal 
year 2016 until a review of the program planning for the 
distributed common ground system of the Army is submitted to 
the congressional defense and intelligence committees.

        system of the United States Special Operations Command (sec. 
        223)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1625) that 
would limit the availability of funds for the Special 
Operations Command's Distributed Common Ground System to 75 
percent of the funds authorized to be obligated by the program 
until the Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command conducts 
a review of the program planning and submits the findings of 
such review to the congressional defense committees and the 
congressional intelligence committees and the House Permanent 
Select Committee on Intelligence.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
220) that would limit the availability of research, 
development, test, and evaluation funds for the distributed 
common ground system of the U.S. Special Operations Command 
(SOCOM) until the Commander of SOCOM submits a report to the 
congressional defense committees.
      The House recedes.

Integrated personnel and pay system for Army (sec. 224)

      The conference agreement includes a provision (sec. 224) 
that would limit the ability of the Secretary of the Army to 
obligate more than 75 percent of the total authorized amount of

                 Subtitle C--Reports and Other Matters

Streamlining the Joint Federated Assurance Center (sec. 231)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 217) 
that would streamline the Department of Defense's Joint 
Federated Assurance Center by eliminating an unnecessary layer 
of bureaucracy between the Center's steering group and its 
working groups.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The conference agreement includes this provision.

Demonstration of persistent close air support capabilities (sec. 232)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 233) 
that would require the Secretary of the Air Force, the 
Secretary of the Army, and the Director of the Defense Advanced 
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to jointly conduct a 
demonstration of the Persistent Close Air Support (PCAS) 
capability in fiscal year 2016.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment to strike the phrase 
``as identified by the United States Air Force Close Air 
Support Forum'' from subparagraph (b)(1). The amendment would 
also replace all occurrences of the word ``shall'' with 
``may,'' and add a paragraph directing a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees by December 1, 2016 on the 
assessment of demonstration results and cost estimates for 
transition of any desired technologies.
      The conferees strongly encourage the three parties to 
conduct the PCAS demonstration, as the benefits would likely 
provide a large payoff in increased capability for what is 
estimated to be minimal resource investment. In response to the 
challenge of diverse platforms and user populations of the 
close air support mission, the Joint Requirements Oversight 
Council, in 2009, in its Close Air Support Capabilities-Based 
Assessment, recommended that ``Platforms should field flexible 
systems that utilize an improved architecture which migrates 
the processing of digital messages to a Commercial-off-the-
Shelf (COTS) based processor and away from the [aircraft] 
operational flight programs.''
      The conferees observe that with repeated Air Force 
proposals to retire their fleet of A-10 aircraft, the 
integration of game-changing and relatively inexpensive 
technologies to improve close air support mission operations 
and results on other platforms could be beneficial in assuaging 
concerns of divesting a particular aircraft, even a type with 
close air support as its primary mission.
      The conferees also agree that the Director of DARPA 
should provide resources to the maximum extent practical to 
minimize costs borne by the participating Services to 
accomplish the demonstration activities.

Strategies for engagement with historically black colleges and 
        universities and minority-serving institutions of higher 
        education (sec. 233)

would require the Secretaries of the military departments to 
each develop a strategy for engagement with and support of the 
development of scientific, technical, engineering, and 
mathematics capabilities with historically black colleges and 
universities and minority-serving institutions. The provision 
would also require the Secretary of Defense to develop a 
strategy that encompasses the strategies developed by the 
military departments.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that ensures that 
such strategies are developed by all organizations within the 
Department of Defense that are engaged in basic research, 
thereby broadening the provision to cover all appropriate 
Defense entities.
      The conferees note that in implementing the requirements 
of this provision, the Secretary of Defense may seek 
information from the directorates of the Louis Stokes Alliances 
for Minority Participation program (LSAMP) and Historically 
Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) 
of the National Science Foundation; the American Association 
for the Advancement of Science; the Emerging Researchers 
National Conference in Science, Technology, Engineering, and 
Mathematics; the University of Florida Institute for African-
American Mentoring in Computing Sciences (IAAMCS); the Hispanic 
Association of Colleges and Universities; the National Indian 
Education Association; and such other institutions, 
organizations, or associations as the Secretary deems useful.

provided by unmanned aerial systems that use wide area 
surveillance sensors. The provision would also require the 
Secretary of the Army to conduct a market survey and flight 
assessment of commercial-off-the-shelf wide area surveillance 
sensors suitable for insertion on Army tactical unmanned aerial 
systems.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove 
the sense of Congress, modify the reporting requirements for 
the market survey, require an assessment of current wide area 
surveillance systems that are currently used or could be used 
on Army tactical unmanned aerial systems, as well as require 
the Secretary of the Army to assess the advisability and 
feasibility of upgrading wide area surveillance systems for 
Army tactical unmanned aerial systems.

Air Force to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees, not later than January 29, 2016, on the baseline 
and alternatives to the Navy's Tactical Air Combat Training 
System Increment II. The provision would also limit the Navy 
from approving or designating a contract award for the 
specified system until 15 days after the date of the submittal 
of the report.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment striking 
subparagraph (c) to remove the limitation.

        Requirements and Capabilities (sec. 237)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 231) 
that would require the Director of Cost Assessment and Program 
Evaluation (CAPE) to contract with an independent entity to 
conduct a comprehensive assessment of current and future 
requirements and capabilities to determine the technological 
feasibility, achievability, suitability, and survivability of a 
tactical communications and data network. The provision would 
also prohibit the Secretary of the Army from obligating more 
than 50 percent of funds available in Other Procurement, Army 
for the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical, Increment 2 
program subject to the submission of the independent entity's 
report.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the 
limitation of funds, and require the Director of CAPE to seek 
to enter into a contract with a federally funded research and 
development center to conduct a comprehensive assessment of 
current and future requirements and capabilities of the Army 
with respect to air-land ad hoc, mobile tactical communications 
and data networks, including the technological feasibility, 
suitability, and survivability of such networks.
      The conferees believe the Director of CAPE shall select a 
federally funded research and development center with direct, 
long-standing, and demonstrated experience and expertise in 
program test and evaluation of concepts, requirements, and 
technologies for joint tactical communications and data 
networking to perform the assessment. The Institute for Defense 
Analysis may be such an entity with expertise needed for such a 
detailed assessment.

parts that have passed through the Department of Defense supply 
chain and into fielded systems.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The conference agreement includes the provision with an 
amendment to assign responsibility for the study to the 
executive agent for printed circuit board technology. The 
conferees believe that the executive agent is the most 
appropriate official to conduct such a study. The amendment 
would also require JFAC to conduct a technical assessment for 
indications of malicious tampering on any parts assessed that 
demonstrate unusual or suspicious failure mechanisms. The 
conferees believe that such follow-up is critical for ensuring 
maximum impact and benefit of the study.

Airborne data link plan (sec. 239)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 234) 
that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics and the Vice Chairman of 
the Joint Chiefs of Staff to jointly, in consultation with the 
Secretary of the Air Force and the Secretary of the Navy, to 
develop a plan on airborne data links between fifth-to-fifth,

would express a sense of Congress that the Department of 
Defense should explore using existing authorities for all 
Federally Funded Research and Development Centers to help 
facilitate and shape a high quality scientific and technical 
workforce that can support the Department's needs. In addition, 
the provision would make a number of findings, including that 
the country's scientific and technical workforce is a matter of 
national security, that the Department's support for technical 
education programs facilitates the training of the future 
workforce, and that the highly skilled workforce already 
employed is qualified to facilitate training of a future 
workforce.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand 
the provision to include all defense laboratories. The 
conferees believe that the paragraphs of the provision apply to 
all Defense laboratories, not only the Federally Funded 
Research and Development Centers, and that all should be 
recognized as such.
      The conferees find that:
            (1) The quality of the future scientific and 
        technical workforce of the United States and the access 
        of the Department of Defense to a high quality 
        scientific and technical workforce are matters of

        the readiness of the future Armed Forces;
            (3) Defense laboratories and federally funded 
        research and development centers sponsored by the 
        Department of Defense employ a highly skilled workforce 
        that is qualified to support science, technology, 
        engineering, and mathematics education initiatives, 
        including through meaningful volunteer opportunities in 
        primary and secondary educational settings and 
        cooperative relationships and arrangements with private 
        sector organizations and State and local governments, 
        and to facilitate the training of a future scientific 
        and technical workforce;
            (4) Robust participation in scientific and 
        technical conferences, including industry and 
        international conferences, will strengthen the national 
        security scientific and technical workforce.

      The agreement does not include this provision.
      The outcome is reflected in section 4101 and 4201 of this 
Act, and includes funding in line with the Senate amendment.

                       Items of Special Interest

Apportionment of small business funds under continuing resolutions

      The conferees believe that under a continuing budget 
resolution (CR), federal agencies remain responsible for 
assessing the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and 
Small Business Technology Transition (STTR) set-asides, and 
executing program support for small business technology 
innovation. To support Department of Defense access to small 
business innovation, the conferees believe that Department 
comptrollers should move expeditiously to calculate the SBIR/
STTR assessments, and make those funds available to military 
services and agency SBIR/STTR programs commensurate with those 
assessments, on a timeline that supports program effectiveness.

Expedited approval for attendance at conferences in support of science 
        and innovation activities of Department of Defense and the 
        National Nuclear Security Administration

      The conferees note with concern that since the 
Departments of Defense and Energy have implemented updated 
conference policies, in response to requirements from the 
Office of Management and Budget, attendance at science and 
technology conferences by department personnel has reduced 
dramatically. According to a report from the Government 
Accountability Office in March 2015, conference attendance from 
the Army Research Laboratory declined from about 1300 attendees 
in 2011 to about 100 attendees in 2013. A similar drop in 
attendance was reported from Sandia National Laboratories. The 
report highlights that such a drop in attendance risks a 
decline in the quality of scientific research, difficulty in 
recruiting and retaining qualified scientists and engineers, 
and a diminished leadership role for the two departments within 
the global science and technology community. The report also 
notes that the new departmental policies are not meeting the 
needs of personnel requesting approval to travel to 
conferences.
      Given the importance of conference attendance for an 
active exchange of scientific information and for recruiting 
and retaining high-quality technical talent, and therefore 
maintaining technological superiority, the conferees are 
concerned that the conference attendance approval policies are 
undermining and eroding the science and technology missions of 
both departments as well as the ability of personnel to engage 
in cutting-edge research, development, testing, and evaluation. 
The conferees believe that technical conference participation 
is especially important to keep program managers aware of new 
trends in technology, so that they may make better informed 
decisions on behalf of taxpayers.
      To maintain global technology awareness and to support 
retention of technical staff, the conferees believe that the 
Departments should strive to follow the best practices of the 
innovative private and academic institutions in developing 
management and oversight practices for conference 
participation. The conferees are concerned that in specific 
technical fields of interest to defense, such as hypersonics 
and cybersecurity, the lack of participation in conferences is 
ceding U.S. leadership to competitor nations.
      In response to these findings and concerns, the conferees 
direct the Secretaries of Defense and Energy to revise current 
policies within the Department of Defense and National Nuclear 
Security Administration, respectively, whereby requests for 
scientific conference attendance are adjudicated within one 
month, and approvals are granted as appropriate within one 
month. Further, the conferees direct the Secretaries of Defense 
and Energy to ensure that any decisions to disapprove 
conference attendance through these revised policies are made 
if and only if the appropriate officials determine that the 
disapproval would have a net positive impact on research and 
development and on program management quality, and not simply 
default disapprovals necessitated by a bureaucratic inability 
to make a timely decision. In addition, the conferees direct 
that these new policies be implemented no later than 90 days 
after the enactment of this act.
      The conferees recommend that, through these revised 
policies, laboratory and test center directors be given the 
authority to approve conference attendance, provided that the 
attendance would meet the mission of the laboratory or test 
center and that sufficient laboratory or test center funds are 
available.
      The conferees direct the Secretaries of Defense and 
Energy each to report to the Senate Armed Services Committee 
and the House Armed Services Committee on the revised policies 
from their respective agencies, as well as an assessment of 
their benefits and drawbacks, along with measures for tracking 
the effectiveness of the new policies. The conferees further 
direct that this report be submitted no later than one year 
after the enactment of this act.

Protection of advanced technologies

      The conferees have concerns that the Department of 
Defense, while taking necessary steps to pursue and create 
innovative technologies and to access global sources of 
innovation, also needs to better protect such technologies 
against unauthorized disclosure to or theft by potential 
adversaries. The conferees are concerned that some adversaries 
have clear strategies (1) to overcome our general technology 
protection efforts and specific program protection measures, 
and (2) to mitigate our efforts to increase our technological 
superiority. For this reason, the conferees believe that the 
Department would benefit from better technology and program 
protection planning and more effective cybersecurity measures.
      Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense 
to conduct a review of methodologies that potential adversaries 
are exploiting to gain unauthorized access to technologies and 
intellectual property, and to circumvent current export control 
and other technology protection regimes. Additionally, the 
Department should review structures of business relationships, 
such as partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, 
and consortia, to assess the potential that these types of 
relationships present additional opportunities for exploitation 
by adversaries. Further, the conferees direct the Secretary to 
brief the results of the review to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and House of Representatives by March 
15, 2016, including any recommendations that may necessitate 
legislative action.

Additional requirements for streamlining of Department of Defense 
        management headquarters (sec. 346)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 905) that 
would express a series of findings and the sense of Congress on 
the commitment of the Department of Defense to reduce its 
headquarters budgets and personnel by 20 percent and to achieve 
$10.0 billion in cost savings over 5 years. It would also amend 
section 904 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66), which requires the 
Secretary of Defense to develop a plan for streamlining 
Department of Defense management headquarters, by requiring an 
accurate baseline accounting of defense headquarters budgets 
and personnel, and more specific information on actual and 
planned reductions in management headquarters. In addition, 
this section would further modify section 904 of Public Law 
113-66 to require the Department to implement its planned 
reduction in management headquarters budgets and personnel for 
certain organizations in the National Capital Region. Lastly, 
it would clarify that civilian employees funded from working-
capital funds are not subject to the reduction requirement.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
351) that would cut 30 percent from the budgets of headquarters 
activities over the next 4 years and require the Secretary of 
Defense to perform a comprehensive review of these activities 
and consider elimination, consolidation, and downsizing where 
appropriate.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Department to plan and budget for $10.0 billion in cost 
savings in its headquarters, administrative and support 
activities between fiscal year 2015 and 2019. The amendment 
would also require at least a 25 percent reduction to 
headquarters activities, which would count towards the $10.0 
billion savings. Finally, the amendment would require a 
comprehensive review of headquarters, administrative and 
support functions with an eye towards streamlining and 
consolidating these functions across the Department of Defense.
      The conferees believe that the Secretary must credit the 
reductions, as having been accomplished in earlier fiscal years 
in accordance with the December 2013 Directive, as part of the 
baseline amount under this section for all of the Department of 
Defense headquarters and the specific baseline amounts for each 
such headquarters activity.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

Additional authorization of appropriations for the Office of Economic 
        Adjustment

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 302) that 
would authorize $25.0 million for transportation projects on 
local roads that would help mitigate traffic congestion 
associated with the military facility.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the Defense Access Road program 
provides such funds around military installations where 
warranted.

Report on efforts to reduce high energy costs at military installations

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 312) 
that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, in consultation with 
the assistant secretaries responsible for energy installations 
and environment for the military services and the Defense 
Logistics Agency, to conduct an assessment of the efforts to 
achieve cost savings at military installations with high energy 
costs.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees encourage the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment to include 
in the Department's Annual Energy Management Report an 
assessment of cost reduction efforts by military installations 
with high energy costs to include state and local partnership 
opportunities.

Exemption of Department of Defense from alternative fuel procurement

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 315) that 
would amend section 526 of the Energy Independence and Security 
Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-140) to exempt the Department of 
Defense from the requirements related to contracts for 
alternative or synthetic fuel in that section.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Limitation on plan, design, refurbishing, or construction of biofuels 
        refineries

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 316) that 
would require the Department of Defense to obtain a 
congressional authorization before entering into a contract for 
the planning, design, refurbishing, or construction of a 
biofuels refinery.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Comprehensive study on impact of proposed ozone rule

National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone on military 
readiness.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Assignment of certain new requirements based on determinations of cost-
        efficiency

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 321) that 
would assign certain new work requirements based on 
determinations of cost-efficiency.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that sec. 321 is one of three 
provisions, along with sections 717 and 907, considered by the 
conferees that cited Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 
7041.04, ``Estimating and Comparing the Full Costs of Civilian 
and Active-Duty Military Manpower and Contract Support,'' as 
the prescribed methodology for making cost comparisons between 
DOD workforce sectors if the work is not inherently 
governmental or otherwise exempt from private-sector 
performance. The conferees also note that the Senate Committee 
on Armed Services included in Senate Report 114-49 language 
directing the Secretary of Defense to submit a report setting 
forth the results of a study comparing the fully burdened cost 
of performance by Department of Defense (DOD) civilians and 
contractors.
      The conferees recognize that the costing methodology in 
DODI 7041.04, while validated by the DOD Office of Cost 
Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE), ``continues to have 
certain limitations,'' as reported by the Government 
Accountability Office in GAO-13-792, ``Opportunities Exist to 
Further Improve DOD's Methodology for Estimating the Costs of 
Its Workforces.'' In the same report, GAO raised questions 
``about the extent to which . . . officials throughout DOD are 
aware of a requirement to use the methodology for decisions 
other than in-sourcing.''
      In light of these findings, the conferees direct the 
Secretary of Defense, in responding to the reporting 
requirement in Senate Report 114-49 referenced above, to 
address the following additional items: (1) What steps has the 
Department taken to comply with the recommendations in GAO-13-
792 for improving the costing methodology in DODI 7041.04; (2) 
What guidance has the Office of the Secretary of Defense issued 
to military components and defense agencies regarding the use 
of the cost-comparison process to make workforce mix decisions; 
(3) What roles do CAPE and the Office of the DOD Comptroller 
play in the cost-comparison process, both prior to workforce 
sourcing decisions being made and in tracking workforce 
sourcing outcomes; (4) What is the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense doing to ensure the skills, training, or experience 
needed to effectively perform manpower cost comparisons are 
available in the DOD workforce, including completion of the 
competency gap assessments cited in GAO-13-188, ``Critical 
Skills and Competency Assessments Should Help Guide DOD 
Civilian Workforce Decisions''; and (5) How will the findings 
in the report required in Senate Report 114-49 be used to 
improve and correct current limitations of the cost-comparison 
process outlined in DODI 7041.04?

Access to wireless high-speed Internet and network connections for 
        certain members of the Armed Forces deployed overseas

would limit the conversion of a function to performance by a 
contractor until an assessment has been made as to whether the 
Department has carried out sufficient outreach programs to 
assist small business concerns owned and controlled by women 
(as such term is defined in section 8(d)(3)(D) of the Small 
Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(d)(3)(D))) and small business 
concerns owned and controlled by socially and economically 
disadvantaged individuals (as such term is defined in section 
8(d)(3)(C) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(d)(3)(C))) 
that are located in the geographic area near the military base.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Pilot program on intensive instruction in certain Asian languages

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 354) 
authorizing the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
National Education Board, to carry out a pilot program to 
assess the feasibility and advisability of providing 
scholarships in accordance with the David L. Boren National 
Security Education Act of 1991 (50 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.) to 
individuals for intensive language instruction in a covered 
Asian language where deficiencies exist.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note the need for intensive Asian language 
training, and direct the Secretary of Defense to provide the 
defense committees with a briefing no later than April 15, 
2016, on the steps Department of Defense is taking to meet that 
need within the context of the Administration's policy to

to function effectively are not retained in the Ready Reserve.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 
section 10149 of title 10, United States Code, to provide that 
a member of the Ready Reserve who is also a member of Congress 
may not be transferred to the Standby Reserve or discharged on 
account of the individual's position as a Member of Congress 
unless the Secretary of Defense, or in the Coast Guard Reserve, 
the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is

consideration.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
512).

Services of the Senate and House of Representatives a report 
setting forth a plan to eliminate pilot training shortages 
within the Air Force using authorities available to the

Secretary's assessment of the Commission's recommendation to 
consolidate 30 Reserve Component duty statuses into 6 broader 
statuses, with an analysis of each of the statuses recommended

articulate why the Secretary's recommendation is preferable to 
the specific recommendation of the Commission. The report

                Subtitle C--General Service Authorities

      The conference agreement includes this provision.

Expansion of authority to conduct pilot programs on career flexibility

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417) to

Armed Forces serving under an agreement upon entry, or members 
receiving a critical military skill retention bonus under 
section 355 of title 37, United States Code, from participating 
in pilot programs on career flexibility to enhance retention.

        occupational standards (sec. 525)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 534) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to include measuring the 
combat readiness of combat units, including special operations 
forces, when developing gender-neutral occupational standards.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
523).
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that the development of gender-neutral 
occupational standards is vital in determining the occupational 
assignments of all members of the Armed Forces. The conferees 
believe that studies being conducted by the Armed Forces are 
important to the development of these standards and should 
incorporate the best scientific practices available and that 
the Armed Forces should consider these studies carefully to 
ensure they do not result in unnecessary barriers to service 
and that decisions on occupational assignments be based on 
objective analysis and not negatively impact combat 
effectiveness, including units whose primary mission is to 
engage in direct ground combat at the tactical level.

Establishment of process by which members of the Armed Forces may carry 
        an appropriate firearm on a military installation (sec. 526)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 539) that

personal firearm on the installation.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Secretary of Defense to establish a process by which the 
commander of a military installation in the United States, 
reserve center, recruiting center, or other defense facility 
may authorize a member of the Armed Forces who is assigned to 
the installation or facility to carry an appropriate firearm on 
the installation if the commander determines it necessary as a 
personal or force-protection measure. The amendment requires 
the Secretary of Defense to consider the views of senior 
leadership of military installations in establishing the 
process.
      The conferees remain concerned about the response times 
to active shooter attacks on U.S. military installations and 
facilities. We believe that such response times should be 
diminished in order to protect U.S. servicemembers and their 
families. The conferees believe that commanders of U.S. 
military installations and facilities should take steps to arm 
additional personnel in order to diminish response times to 
active shooter attacks if they believe that arming those 
personnel will contribute to that goal.

Establishment of breastfeeding policy for the Department of the Army 
        (sec. 527)

524).
      The House recedes.

(Article 6b, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)), to 
authorize an interlocutory appeal to the Court of Criminal 
Appeals by a victim based on an assertion that the victim's

that the victim is subject to an order to submit to a 
deposition notwithstanding the fact that the victim is 
available to testify at a court-martial.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment authorizing a victim

related offense, when authorized by the Secretary of Defense or 
the secretary of the military department concerned.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

        assistance in connection with various government proceedings

would amend section 1044e(b) of title 10, United States Code, 
to authorize Special Victims' Counsel to represent and assist 
clients in actions or proceedings that, in the judgment of the 
Special Victims' Counsel, may have been undertaken in 
retaliation for the victim's report of an alleged sex-related 
offense or for the victim's involvement in related military 
justice proceedings.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
552).
      The House recedes.

or before being requested to provide a statement.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
551).
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
that a victim of a sex-related offense be provided notice of 
the availability of a Special Victims' Counsel before any 
military criminal investigator or trial counsel interviews, or 
requests any statement from, the individual regarding the 
alleged sex-related offense, subject to such exceptions for 
exigent circumstances as the Secretary may prescribe.

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 541) that 
would amend section 1044e(d) of title 10, United States Code, 
to require the Secretary of Defense to direct the military 
departments to implement additional selection requirements 
requiring adequate criminal justice experience before they are 
assigned as Special Victims' Counsel and to prescribe 
standardized training requirements. The House provision would 
also amend section 1044e(e) of title 10, United States Code, to 
require the Secretary of Defense to establish program 
performance measures and standards to provide centralized, 
standardized oversight and assessment of Special Victims' 
Counsel program effectiveness and client satisfaction. The 
amendment would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
require the military departments to conduct regular evaluations 
to ensure Special Victims' Counsel are assigned to locations 
that maximize the opportunity for face-to-face interactions 
between counsel and clients, and to develop effective means for 
interaction between counsel and clients when face-to-face 
communication is not feasible.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that does not 
include the requirement for ``adequate'' military justice 
experience. The conferees note that there is no similar 
requirement for adequate military justice experience for trial 
counsel or defense counsel. We expect the Judge Advocates 
General and the Staff Judge Advocate to the Commandant of the 
Marine Corps to carefully select and train the optimal 
candidates to effectively and zealously perform Special 
Victims' Counsel duties.

        assault in the military (sec. 536)

would preempt any state laws that require mandatory reporting 
made to a sexual assault response coordinator, a sexual assault 
victim advocate, or healthcare personnel providing assistance 
to a military sexual assault victim under section 1525b of 
title 10, United States Code, except when reporting is 
necessary to prevent or mitigate a serious and imminent threat 
to the health or safety of an individual.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.
      The conferees expect that the Department of Defense will 
take all necessary action to ensure that Department personnel 
are fully supported and vigorously represented in response to 
any actions by a state licensing authority considering 
potentially adverse licensing or similar credentialing action 
based on actions of an officer or employee of the Department 
who acts in an official professional capacity in reliance on

recommending any charge or specification not be referred to 
trial.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to adopt 
an electronic system with capabilities similar to those of the 
Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system to 
provide Special Victims' Counsel, victims, and the general 
public with court-martial docketing information and case 
filings.

Release to victims upon request of complete record of proceedings and 
        testimony of courts-martial in cases in which sentences 
        adjudged could include punitive discharge

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 550) 
that would amend section 854(e) of title 10, United States Code 
(article 54(e), UCMJ), to expand the circumstances under which 
an alleged victim must be provided a copy of all prepared 
records of the proceedings of a court-martial.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      Executive Order 13669, June 13, 2014, amended Rule for 
Courts-Martial 1103 to require that a free record of trial be 
provided to any victim named in a specification alleging a sex 
offense.

Modification of Manual for Courts-Martial to require consistent 
        preparation of the full record of trial

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 552) that 
would require the amendment of Rule 1103 of the Manual for 
Courts-Martial relating to the preparation of the record of 
trial to require the trial counsel to prepare a complete record 
of trial for any general or special court-martial and that no 
content may be exempted from the record of trial based on the 
outcome of the court-martial proceeding.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Inclusion of additional information in annual reports regarding 
        Department of Defense sexual assault prevention and response

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 553) that 
would amend section 1631(b) of the Ike Skelton National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383) to 
require information on cases under the Family Advocacy Program, 
sexual harassment involving members of the Armed Forces, and 
reports of retaliation against victims of sexual assault to be 
included in reports required to be submitted under section 1631 
of that Act by March 1, 2016.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Establishment of Office of Complex Investigations within the National 
        Guard Bureau

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 554) 
that would add a new section to Chapter 1101 of title 10, 
United States Code, that would establish an Office of Complex 
Investigations within the National Guard Bureau (NGB), with 
authority to assist the States in administrative investigations 
of sexual assault involving members of the National Guard, and 
circumstances involving members of the Guard where States have 
limited jurisdiction or authority and such other circumstances 
as the Chief of the NGB directs.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees believe that this legislation is 
unnecessary as the Office of Complex Investigations has already 
been established in the National Guard Bureau.

Additional guidance regarding release of mental health records of 
        Department of Defense medical treatment facilities in cases 
        involving any sex-related offense

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 555) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to issue uniform 
guidance with respect to mental health records of the alleged 
victim in any case involving any sex-related offense to require 
that such records are neither sought by investigators or 
military justice practitioners nor acknowledged or released by 
the medical treatment facility except as ordered by a military 
judge or hearing officer described in section 832(b) of title 
10, United States Code, (Article 32(b), Uniform Code of 
Military Justice).
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees understand that the release of mental 
health records can constitute an invasion of privacy. Conferees 
are also aware that overly broad restrictions on release of 
mental health records could adversely impact necessary law 
enforcement investigations such as when the alleged victim is 
deceased. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
issue specific, uniform guidance regarding release of mental 
health records to ensure an appropriate balance between the 
interests of law enforcement and victim privacy.

Public availability of records of certain proceedings under the Uniform 
        Code of Military Justice

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 556) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to make available to the 
public, electronically through a website of the Department of 
Defense, specified information for all proceedings under the 
Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) including special and 
general courts-martial, actions by a convening authority under 
section 860 of title 10, United States Code (Article 60, UCMJ), 
reviews conducted by the Courts of Criminal Appeals under 
section 866 (Article 66, UCMJ) and reviews conducted by the 
Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces under section 867 
(Article 67, UCMJ).
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to adopt 
an electronic system with capabilities similar to those of the 
Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system to 
provide Special Victims' Counsel, victims, and the general 
public with court-martial docketing information and case 
filings.

Revision of Department of Defense Directive-Type memorandum 15-003, 
        relating to registered sex offender identification, 
        notification, and monitoring in the Department of Defense

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 557) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to revise the Department 
of Defense Directive-Type memorandum 15-003, relating to 
registered sex offender identification, notification, and 
monitoring in the Department of Defense.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      This provision is no longer necessary as section 502 of 
the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 (Public Law 
114-22), enacted on May 29, 2015, amends the Sex Offender 
Registration and Notification Act to require the Secretary of 
Defense to provide to the Attorney General information to be 
included in the National Sex Offender Registry and the Dru 
Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website regarding certain 
sex offenders.

Sense of Congress on the service of military families and on sentencing 
        retirement-eligible members of the Armed Forces

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 557) 
that would express the sense of Congress that military juries 
should not face the difficult choice between imposing a fair 
sentence or protecting the benefits of a member of the Armed 
Forces for the sake of family members, that family members of 
retirement-eligible members should not be adversely affected by 
the loss of the member's military benefits as a result of a 
court-martial conviction, and welcoming the opportunity to work 
with the Department of Defense to develop authorities to 
improve the military justice system and protect benefits that 
military families have helped earn.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Biennial surveys of military dependents on military family readiness 
        matters

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 564) 
that would require the Director of the Office of Family Policy 
of the Department of Defense to conduct biennial surveys of 
adult dependents of members of the Armed Forces on military 
family readiness matters.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Direct employment pilot program for members of the National Guard and 
        Reserve

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 567) that 
would authorize a direct employment pilot program for members 
of the National Guard and Reserve in the amount of up to $20.0 
million per fiscal year.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Program regarding civilian credentialing for skills required for 
        certain military occupational specialties

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 568) that 
would amend section 558 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) by adding 
additional military occupational specialties to the pilot 
program required under that section.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Mariner training

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 569) that 
would amend section 2015 of title 10, United States Code, to 
require members of the Armed Forces whose duties are primarily 
as a mariner to receive training necessary to meet requirements 
for licenses and certificates for merchant mariners.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Report on civilian and military education to respond to future threats

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 570) that 
would require a report from the Secretary of Defense on 
civilian and military educational activities aimed at 
addressing future threats.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Availability of cyber security and IT certifications for Department of 
        Defense personnel critical to network defense

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 570a) that 
would authorize the Department of Defense to utilize funds to 
obtain cyber security and IT certifications for Department of 
Defense personnel critical to network defense.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees recognize that industry cyber security and 
IT certifications may be helpful to a certain category of 
network operators and maintainers, but may not be comparable to 
the training required for more advanced network defense skills 
needed by critical personnel at the Department of Defense. The 
conferees are concerned that the full scope of needs in this 
area as compared to the funding available are not yet well 
understood, nor is the contribution of these industry 
certifications to the training needed of the cyber mission 
forces. The conferees believe that until those requirements are 
better understood, the current scope of funded certification 
activities should remain stable until there is a better 
established connection between cyber security and IT 
certifications and the skills required for specific positions 
with the Department of Defense. However, the conferees note 
industry recognized cyber security and IT certifications may be 
beneficial for some Department of Defense personnel critical to 
network defense. Therefore, the conferees encourage the 
Secretary of Defense to examine the needs of the Department and 
determine the extent and role industry cyber security and IT 
certifications should play in workforce management.

Support for efforts to improve academic achievement and transition of 
        military dependent students

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 573) that 
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to make grants to non-
profit organizations that provide services to military 
dependent students.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The agreement does not include this provision.
      The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to use 
existing authority to work with non-profit organizations to 
provide services to military dependent students to improve 
academic achievement and civic responsibility.

Study regarding feasibility of using DEERS to track dependents of 
        members of the Armed Forces and Department of Defense civilian 
        employees who are elementary or secondary education students

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 574) that 
would require a study by the Secretary of Defense on the 
feasibility of using DEERS, the Defense Enrollment Eligibility 
Reporting System, to track dependents of members of the Armed 
Forces and Department of Defense civilian employees who are 
elementary or secondary education students.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Sense of Congress regarding support for dependents of members of the 
        Armed Forces attending specialized camps

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 575) that 
expressed the sense of the Congress regarding support for 
dependents of members of the Armed Forces attending specialized 
camps.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Limitation on authority of secretaries of the military departments 
        regarding revocation of combat valor awards

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 582) that 
would limit the authority of secretaries of the military 
departments to revoke a combat valor award for conduct that was 
not honorable to conduct that occurred during the period for 
which the award was awarded.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees expect the service secretaries to conduct a 
thorough and objective review of the facts and evidence before 
deciding to revoke a combat valor award.

Award of Purple Heart to members of the Armed Forces who were victims 
        of the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, bombing

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 583) that 
would require the secretary of the military service concerned 
to award the Purple Heart to certain named members who were 
killed in the bombing that occurred at the Murrah Federal 
Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on April 19, 1995.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Atomic Veterans Service Medal

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 584) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to design, produce, and 
distribute a military service medal to honor retired and former 
members of the Armed Forces who are radiation-exposed veterans.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Posthumous commission as a captain in the regular Army for Milton 
        Holland

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 585) that 
would posthumously promote to captain in the regular Army, 
Milton Holland, who, while serving as sergeant major of the 5th 
Regiment, United States Colored Infantry, was awarded the Medal 
of Honor in recognition of his action on September 29, 1864, at 
the Battle of Chapin's Farm, Virginia.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Sense of Congress supporting the decision of the Army to posthumously 
        promote Master Sergeant (retired) Naomi Horwitz to sergeant 
        major

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 586) that 
would express a sense of Congress supporting the decision of 
the Army to posthumously promote Master Sergeant (retired) 
Naomi Horwitz to sergeant major.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note the Secretary of the Army approved the 
posthumous promotion in March 2015.

Priority processing of applications for Transportation Worker 
        Identification Credentials for members undergoing discharge or 
        release from the Armed Forces

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 589) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to consult with the 
Secretary of Homeland Security to afford a priority in the 
processing of applications for a Transportation Worker 
Identification Credential (TWIC) submitted by members of the 
Armed Forces who are undergoing separation, discharge, or 
release from the Armed Forces under honorable conditions. The 
provision would also require the Secretary of Defense and the 
Secretary of Homeland Security to jointly submit a report on 
the implementation requirements of this provision not later 
than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees consider it unacceptable that 
servicemembers transitioning from Active Duty, and recent 
honorably discharged veterans, continue to report significant 
delays in processing time to be issued Transportation Workers 
Identification Credentials (TWIC). Further, the Transportation 
Security Administration requires Active-Duty personnel as well 
as veterans who recently transitioned from Active Duty to 
undergo and pay for a separate security review before issuing 
TWIC. Because many transitioning servicemembers are qualified 
and motivated to serve in the maritime industry, the conferees 
expect the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland 
Security to consult to eliminate processing delays and waive 
fees for transitioning servicemembers and for honorably 
discharged veterans.

Issuance of Recognition of Service ID Cards to certain members 
        separating from the Armed Forces

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 590) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to issue an 
identification card that identifies individuals as veterans, 
personalized with name and photo of the individual. The 
Secretary of Defense would be authorized to work with retailers 
for reduced prices on services, consumer products, and 
pharmaceuticals for individuals possessing a Recognition of 
Service ID Card.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that an alternative option exists for 
honorably discharged veterans to utilize state-issued ID cards 
that designate veteran status. Veterans in 44 states and the 
District of Columbia may apply for a driver's license or State-
issued ID card that designates veteran status. The remaining 
states (California, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, 
and Washington) are either pending legislation or have 
legislation that has been signed into law but is not yet 
effective. Additionally, since January 2014, honorably 
separated members of the Uniformed Services are able to obtain 
an ID card providing proof of military service through the 
joint DOD-VA eBenefits web portal.

Revised policy on network services for military services

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 591) 
that would generally limit the use of uniformed military 
personnel in the provision of network services for military 
installations in the continental United States.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees are concerned that the military services, 
particularly the Air Force, are devoting more resources and 
uniformed military personnel for the provision of network 
services than are necessary, considering the commercial network 
services capabilities that may be available at lower costs. 
While the conferees believe the use of uniformed military 
personnel for network services is necessary in some cases, for 
example aboard ships or at expeditionary bases, there is less 
rationale for this use of uniform military personnel at 
permanent military installations within the continental United 
States.
      Therefore, the conferees direct the Director of Cost 
Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) to evaluate the 
potential savings for the Department of Defense in both 
resources and military end strength that could be achieved by 
increasing the use of commercial network services capabilities 
within the continental United States. CAPE shall provide a 
briefing on their findings, including any recommendations, to 
the congressional defense committees no later than March 1, 
2016.

Honoring certain members of the Reserve components as veterans

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 592) that 
would amend chapter 1 of title 38, United States Code, to 
require certain members of the reserve components be honored as 
veterans, provided that such members would not be authorized to 
receive any benefit administered by the Secretary of Veterans 
Affairs solely by reason of honorary veteran status.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Improved enumeration of members of the Armed Forces in any tabulation 
        of total population by Secretary of Commerce

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 593) 
that would amend section 1141 of title 13, United States Code, 
to require that the Secretary of Commerce, beginning with the 
2020 Decennial census of population, in taking any tabulation 
of total population by States, to take appropriate measures to 
ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, that all members of 
the Armed Forces deployed abroad on the date of taking such 
tabulation are (1) fully and accurately counted; and (2) 
properly attributed to the state in which their permanent duty 
station or homeport is located on such date.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Sense of Congress regarding support for military divers

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 593) that 
would express the sense of Congress regarding support for 
military divers.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Sense of Congress on desirability of service-wide adoption of Gold Star 
        Installation Access Card

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 596) that 
would express the sense of Congress that the secretaries of the 
military departments should provide for the issuance of a Gold 
Star Installation Access Card to family members of deceased 
members of the Armed Forces in order to expedite access to 
installations for the purpose of obtaining on-base services and 
military benefits for which a Gold Star family member is 
eligible.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the Department of the Army has 
initiated a program to provide Gold Star Installation Access 
Cards to Gold Star family members and encourage the other 
military departments to do the same.

Annual report on performance of regional offices of the Department of 
        Veterans Affairs

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 597) that 
would amend section 7734 of title 38, United States Code, to 
require the individual serving as director of a regional office 
of the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide an annual 
report on the performance of any regional office that fails to 
meet its administrative goals.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

          Title VI--Compensation and Other Personnel Benefits

                     Subtitle A--Pay and Allowances

No fiscal year 2016 increase in basic pay for general and flag officers 
        (sec. 601)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 601) 
that would authorize a pay raise of 1.3 percent for all members 
of the uniformed services in pay grades O-6 and below effective 
January 1, 2016, and that would freeze the monthly basic pay 
for all general and flag officers, including for those whose 
monthly basic pay is limited to the rate of pay for level II of 
the Executive Schedule.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would remove 
reference to the pay raise for grades O-6 and below.
      The conferees note that the President has authority under 
section 1009(e) of title 37, United States Code, to implement 
the 1.3 percent pay raise for pay grades O-6 and below in the 
absence of a provision specifically setting a different pay 
raise.

Limitation on eligibility for supplemental subsistence allowances to 
        members serving outside the United States and associated 
        territory (sec. 602)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 606) 
that would sunset on September 30, 2016, the supplemental 
subsistence allowance for servicemembers serving inside the 
United States. Servicemembers serving outside the United 
States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the United States 
Virgin Islands, or Guam would still be eligible to receive the 
supplemental subsistence allowance from the Department of 
Defense. The provision is based on the final report of the 
Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Phased-in modification of percentage of national average monthly cost 
        of housing usable in computation of basic allowance for housing 
        inside the United States (sec. 603)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 602) 
that would amend section 403(b) of title 37, United States 
Code, to authorize the Secretary of Defense to reduce the 
monthly amount of the basic allowance for housing (BAH) by up 
to 5 percent of the national average for housing for a given 
pay grade and dependency status. Servicemembers will not see 
this modification of their BAH until they change duty stations.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The agreement contains the Senate provision with an 
amendment that would reduce the monthly amount of the BAH 
through a tiered system with 1 percent in 2015, 2 percent in 
2016, 3 percent in 2017, 4 percent in 2018, and 5 percent in 
2019 and each fiscal year thereafter. The conferees strongly 
believe that this change to the calculation of BAH should not 
be used to justify the collection of out-of-pocket housing 
expenses, in excess of BAH, from servicemembers assigned to a 
housing unit acquired or constructed using the authority in 
subchapter IV of chapter 169 of title 10, United States Code.

Extension of authority to provide temporary increase in rates of basic 
        allowance for housing under certain circumstances (sec. 604)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 601) that 
would extend for 1 year the authority of the Secretary of 
Defense to temporarily increase the rate of basic allowance for 
housing in areas impacted by natural disasters or experiencing 
a sudden influx of personnel.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
603).
      The Senate recedes.

Availability of information under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 
        (sec. 605)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 607) 
that would allow for the Secretary of Defense to obtain from 
the Secretary of Agriculture information for the purposes of 
determining the number of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 
Program applicant households that contain one or more members 
of a regular or reserve component of the Armed Forces.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

           Subtitle B--Bonuses and Special and Incentive Pays

One-year extension of certain bonus and special pay authorities for 
        reserve forces (sec. 611)

      The House 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 Senate amendment contained an identical provision 
(sec. 611).
      The conference agreement includes this provision.

One-year extension of certain bonus and special pay authorities for 
        health care professionals (sec. 612)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 612) that 
would extend for 1 year the authority to pay the nurse officer 
candidate accession bonus, education loan repayment for certain 
health professionals who serve in the Selected 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.
      The Senate amendment contained an identical provision 
(sec. 612).
      The conference agreement includes this provision.

One-year extension of special pay and bonus authorities for nuclear 
        officers (sec. 613)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 613) that 
would 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 Senate amendment contained an identical provision 
(sec. 613).

        special pay, incentive pay, and bonus authorities (sec. 614)

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 Senate amendment contained an identical provision 
(sec. 614).
      The conference agreement includes this provision.

                       Part I--Retired Pay Reform

Modernized retirement system for members of the uniformed services 
        (sec. 631)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 632) that 
would establish a new military retirement defined benefit that, 
when combined with the government-matching Thrift Savings Plan, 
as described elsewhere in this Act, would comprise a new hybrid 
retirement system. This new system would apply to new entrants 
after January 1, 2018, and to those already serving members who 
choose to opt-in. The new defined benefit would continue to 
apply only to those members who reach 20 years of service, with 
a multiplier rate of 2.0 times years of service rather than the 
current rate of 2.5 times years of service.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
632).
      The agreement includes the House provision with an 
amendment that would limit service members who may opt-in to 
the new retirement system to those with less than 12 years of 
service. The agreement also includes an amendment that would

Full participation for members of the uniformed services in the Thrift 
        Savings Plan (sec. 632)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 631) that 
would provide a government-matching Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) 
benefit for those who would enter uniformed service on or after 
October 1, 2017, or a member serving before that date who makes 
a voluntary election to opt-in to the new plan. The TSP element 
would provide a 1 percent automatic agency contribution to all 
uniformed service members upon reaching 60 days of service and 
continue until they would reach their second year of service. 
At 2 years of service, a member's TSP would vest and the 
Secretary concerned would begin matching TSP contributions up 
to 5 percent of that servicemember's base pay for a maximum 
government contribution totaling 6 percent of basic pay. 
Uniformed service members would be automatically enrolled at 3 
percent matching contributions with the option to raise or 
lower their contribution level. TSP government-funded matching 
contributions would continue until a uniformed service member 
leaves or retires from the uniformed service.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
631) that would set the applicable initial entry date at 
January 1, 2018, provide a maximum government contribution of 5 
percent (with the first one percent being an automatic agency 
contribution), and stop the government match at 20 years of 
service.
      The agreement includes the Senate provision with an 
amendment to provide government matching contributions in the 
TSP through 26 years of service. The conferees note that all 
uniformed service members who would enter and serve prior to 
the date of implementation of the modernized retirement system 
would be grandfathered into the old retirement system.

Lump sum payments of certain retired pay (sec. 633)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 633) 
that would allow the voluntary election of lump sum payments of 
retired pay for those under the modernized retirement system 
who serve 20 or more years of service. Members who elect to 
take the lump sum may choose to take 100 percent or 50 percent 
of the discounted present value of their defined retirement 
benefit that would be due to them prior to becoming fully 
eligible for Social Security.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would allow 
members who elect to take the lump sum an option of choosing to 
take 50 percent or 25 percent of the discounted present value 
of their defined retirement benefit that would be due to them 
prior to becoming fully eligible for Social Security.
      The conferees strongly urge the Secretaries concerned to 
coordinate with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs on 
counseling, or otherwise informing, new retirees on the impact 
this election may have on their eligibility for certain 
benefits administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

report that assesses the plan of the Department to privatize 
the Defense Commissary System to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives within 
120 days following submission of the report by the Secretary of 
Defense. Following submission of the Comptroller General's 
assessment of the Department's commissary privatization plan, 
the Department would be required to carry out a 2-year pilot 
program at no fewer than five commissaries in the largest 
markets of the commissary system to assess the feasibility and 
advisability of the plan. Within 180 days after completion of 
the pilot program, the Secretary of Defense would submit a 
report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives that provides an assessment of the 
commissary privatization plan.
      The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec. 
1025) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report, not later than February 1, 2016, to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
assessing the viability of privatizing the commissary system,

commissaries or the commissary system. The provision would also 
require the Comptroller General of the United States to provide 
a report that assesses the plan of the Department to privatize 
the Defense Commissary System to the committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than May 1, 2016. The provision would make Section 652 of 
the Senate amendment null and void.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committees 
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than March 1, 2016, that provides a 
comprehensive plan to make delivery of commissary and exchange

provide a report that assesses the Department's plan to make 
the commissary and exchange benefit budget neutral to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives within 120 days following submission of the 
report by the Secretary of Defense. The amendment would 
authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct one or more pilot 
programs to evaluate processes and methods for achieving budget 
neutral commissary and exchange benefits.

Improvement of financial literacy and preparedness of members of the 
        Armed Forces (sec. 661)

      The House bill contained provision (sec. 651) that would 
require financial literacy training for servicemembers upon 
arrival at the first duty station and upon arrival at each 
subsequent duty station for servicemembers below the pay grade 
of E-5 in the case of enlisted personnel and below the pay 
grade of O-4 in the case of officers. The provision would 
further require financial literacy training for each 
servicemember at various career and life milestones. The 
provision would also direct the Department of Defense to 
include a financial literacy and preparedness survey in the 
status of forces survey. The provision would also express the 
sense of the Congress that the Secretary of Defense should work 
with other departments, agencies, and nonprofit organizations 
to improve financial literacy and preparedness with support 
from the service secretaries. This provision was recommended by 
the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization 
Commission.
      The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (secs. 
581, 582, and 583).
      The agreement includes the House provision with a 
technical amendment.

Recordation of obligations for installment payments of incentive pays, 
        allowances, and similar benefits when payment is due (sec. 662)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 587) 
that would provide express authority for the long-established 
practice of the Department of Defense of obligating bonus and 
special and incentive pay installment payments at the time 
payment is due and payable. This provision is in response to a 
recent U.S. Government Accountability Office opinion, Comp. 
Gen. B-325526--Obligation of Bonuses under Military Service 
Agreements, July 16, 2014, which concluded that the Department 
of Defense cedes fiscal exposure to servicemembers when it 
enters into such agreements and should change its obligational 
practices to obligate the entire bonus amount when the 
agreement is signed.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

Prohibition on per diem allowance reductions based on the duration of 
        temporary duty assignment or civilian travel

Basic allowance for housing for members of the Uniformed Services who 
        live together

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 604) 
that would amend section 403 of title 37, United States Code, 
to limit the basic allowance for housing (BAH) for dual 
military married couples who are assigned within normal 
commuting distance from each other to one allowance at the with 
dependent rate, for the member with the higher pay grade. The 
provision would also limit BAH for uniformed service members 
above E-3 residing with other uniformed service members to 75 
percent of their otherwise prevailing rate, or the E-4 without 
dependents rate, whichever is greater. Affected members would 
see no reduction in their BAH as a result of this provision so 
long as they maintain uninterrupted eligibility to receive BAH 
within a particular housing area.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees intend to reform this policy next year. The 
conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a report no 
later than March 1, 2016, to the Senate and House Committees on 
Armed Services containing an assessment and recommendations of 
the Secretary on how to amend the current BAH system to most 
accurately capture actual housing costs as a limiting element 
of the basic allowance for housing, to include an assessment of 
BAH as applied in particular circumstances where the current 
benefit may over- or under-compensate individuals based on 
their actual housing costs, to include single members of the 
armed forces and those who share accommodations with other 
members receiving the benefit. In developing these 
recommendations, the Secretary shall consider the primary 
purpose of the benefit to offset housing costs of uniformed 
members incurred by virtue of their service.

Repeal of inapplicability of modification of basic allowance for 
        housing to benefits under the laws administered by the 
        Secretary of Veterans Affairs

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) 
effective January 1, 2016.
      The House bill contained no similar amendment.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that the Senate and House Veterans 
Affairs Committees intend to take up this matter. If it is not 
addressed by May 2016, it will be re-considered for the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.

Policies of the Department of Defense on travel of next of kin to 
        participate in the dignified transfer of remains of members of 
        the Armed Forces and civilian employees of the Department of 
        Defense who die overseas

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 624) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to review the 
current policies of the Department of Defense regarding travel 
authorization for family and next of kin of service members and 
civilian employees of the Department of Defense.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that the Department of Defense has 
notified the congressional defense committees it is already 
conducting the review described in this provision. Further, the 
conference agreement includes a separate provision to make the 
necessary changes in law for the authorization for travel to 
the dignified transfer ceremony for family and next of kin of 
members of the Armed Forces who die overseas in support of 
humanitarian operations. The conferees expect the Secretary, 
upon conclusion of the aforementioned review, to make 
regulatory changes in order to address inequities within the 
system, as the Secretary determines are appropriate.

Authority for retirement flexibility for members of the uniformed 
        services

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 635) 
that would give the Secretary concerned the flexibility to

authorize monthly transitional compensation, including 
commissary and exchange store access, to dependents or former 
dependents of a member of the Armed Forces who is ineligible to 
receive retired pay as a result of a court-martial sentence. 
The provision would allow the secretary concerned to determine

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

                   Title VII--Health Care Provisions

           Subtitle A--TRICARE and Other Health Care Benefits

Access to TRICARE Prime for certain beneficiaries (sec. 701)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 705) that 
would amend section 732(c)(3) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to 
authorize an eligible TRICARE beneficiary to make a one-time 
election for TRICARE Prime if the beneficiary: 1) resides in a 
location in which TRICARE Prime is no longer available because 
of the location in which the beneficiary resides; and 2) the 
beneficiary resided within 100 miles of a military medical 
treatment facility as of December 25, 2013. This provision 
would not apply to an affected eligible beneficiary who 
resides, as of December 25, 2013, greater than 100 miles from a 
military medical treatment facility and is an eligible 
beneficiary by reason of service in the Army, Navy, Air Force, 
or Marine Corps.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

Modifications of cost-sharing for the TRICARE pharmacy benefits program 
        (sec. 702)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 702) 
that would require modifications of prescription drug co-pays 
for the TRICARE pharmacy benefits program for years 2016 
through 2025. After 2025, the Department of Defense (DOD) would 
establish co-pay amounts equal to the co-pay amounts for the 
previous year adjusted by an amount, if any, to reflect 
increases in costs of pharmaceutical agents and prescription 
dispensing fees. With this provision, beneficiaries would 
continue to receive prescription drugs at no cost in military 
medical treatment facilities, and there would be no changes to 
co-pays for survivors of members who died on Active Duty or for 
a disabled member retired under chapter 61 of title 10, United 
States Code, and their family members.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would modify 
prescription drug co-pays beginning in 2016.
      The conferees agree that comprehensive reform of the 
military health care system is essential and commit to working 
with the Department of Defense in fiscal year 2017 to begin 
reforming the military healthcare system. This reform must 
improve access, quality and the experience of care for all 
beneficiaries; maintain medical readiness of the military 
health professionals; and ensure the long-term viability and 
cost effectiveness of the military health care system. The 
current system has not kept pace with the best practices and 
latest innovations in the commercial healthcare market and will 
not meet the future needs of the DOD, the servicemembers, 
families, or retirees. In order to modernize and improve the 
military healthcare system, the conferees agree that all 
elements of the current system must be re-evaluated, and that 
increases to fees and co-pays will be a necessary part of such 
a comprehensive reform effort.

Expansion of continued health benefits coverage to include discharged 
        and released members of the Selected Reserve (sec. 703)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 703) 
that would amend section 1078a of title 10, United States Code, 
to authorize a member of the Selected Reserve, who is 
discharged or released under other than adverse conditions from 
service in the Selected Reserve, to be eligible to enroll, for 
a period of 18 months, in the Department of Defense program of 
continued health benefits coverage.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
the member of the Selected Reserve to be enrolled in TRICARE 
Reserve Select immediately preceding the discharge of the 
member.

Access to health care under the TRICARE program for beneficiaries of 
        TRICARE Prime (sec. 704)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 711) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that 
covered TRICARE beneficiaries obtain health care appointments 
within access standards and wait-time goals established by the 
Department of Defense for primary care and specialty care or, 
if the beneficiary is unable to obtain an appointment within 
the wait-time goals, to offer the beneficiary an appointment 
with a contracted health care provider. The provision would 
also require the Secretary to publish health care access 
standards in the Federal Register and on a publicly accessible 
Internet web site of the Department of Defense and to publish 
appointment wait-times for primary and specialty care on the 
publicly accessible Internet web site of each military medical 
treatment facility.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Secretary of Defense to ensure that TRICARE Prime 
beneficiaries obtain health care appointments within health 
care access standards established by the Secretary, including 
through health care providers in the TRICARE preferred provider 
network. The amendment would also require the Secretary to 
publish health care access standards in the Federal Register 
and on a publicly accessible Internet web site of the 
Department of Defense.

Expansion of reimbursement for smoking cessation services for certain 
        TRICARE beneficiaries (sec. 705)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 704) 
that would amend section 713(f) of the Duncan Hunter National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-
417) to expand reimbursement for smoking cessation services for 
certain TRICARE beneficiaries.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.

                 Subtitle B--Health Care Administration

Waiver of recoupment of erroneous payments caused by administrative 
        error under the TRICARE program (sec. 711)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 715) 
that would amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, to 
authorize the Secretary of Defense to waive recoupment of 
payment from a covered TRICARE beneficiary who has benefited 
from an erroneous TRICARE payment in which all of the following 
apply: (1) the payment was made due to an administrative error 
by an employee of the Department of Defense or a TRICARE 
program contractor; (2) the covered beneficiary, or in the case 
of a minor, the parent or guardian of the covered beneficiary, 
reasonably believed the covered beneficiary was entitled to the 
benefit of such payment; (3) the covered beneficiary relied on 
the expectation of benefit entitlement; and (4) the Secretary 
determines that a waiver of recoupment of such payment is 
necessary to prevent an injustice. In the case of 
administrative error on the part of a TRICARE contractor, the 
provision would require the Secretary to impose financial 
responsibility on the contractor for the erroneous payment.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Publication of data on patient safety, quality of care, satisfaction, 
        and health outcome measures under the TRICARE program (sec. 
        712)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 732) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to publish public 
data on measures used to assess patient safety, quality of 
care, patient satisfaction, and health outcomes on the primary 
Internet web site of the Department of Defense and on the 
primary Internet web site of that facility that provided the 
health care.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
section 1073b of title 10, United States Code, to require the 
Secretary of Defense to publish appropriate data on measures 
used to assess patient safety, quality of care, patient 
satisfaction, and health outcomes of each military medical 
treatment facility on a publicly available Internet web site of 
the Department of Defense. The provision would also require 
data for health care provided by a military medical treatment 
facility to be accessible on the primary Internet web site of 
that facility. The provision would prohibit the Department 
publishing any data related to risk management activities of 
the Department.

Expansion of evaluation of effectiveness of the TRICARE program to 
        include information on patient safety, quality of care, and 
        access to care at military medical treatment facilities (sec. 
        713)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 733) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than March 1, 2016, and each year 
thereafter, a comprehensive report on patient safety, quality 
of care, and access to care at military medical treatment 
facilities.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
section 717(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106) to require the Department 
of Defense to include data on patient safety, quality of care, 
and access to care at each military medical treatment facility 
in the annual report to Congress on TRICARE program 
effectiveness.

Portability of health plans under the TRICARE program (sec. 714)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 712) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that 
beneficiaries who are covered under a TRICARE health plan can 
seamlessly access health care under that health plan in each 
TRICARE program region.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Joint uniform formulary for transition of care (sec. 715)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 701) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
Veterans Affairs to establish a joint uniform formulary that 
would include pain, sleep disorder, psychiatric drugs, and 
drugs for other conditions critical for transition of a 
servicemember from treatment furnished by the Department of 
Defense to treatment furnished by the Department of Veterans 
Affairs.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Licensure of mental health professionals in TRICARE program (sec. 716)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 712) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that a 
qualified mental health professional is eligible for 
reimbursement under the TRICARE program as a certified mental 
health counselor by meeting certain qualification criteria. The 
provision would also establish a special rule for certain 
practicing mental health professionals to deem them to be 
qualified mental health professionals during the period 
preceding January 1, 2027, even though those professionals do 
not meet the established qualification criteria in the 
provision. The House bill also contained a provision (sec. 725) 
that would express a sense of Congress that the Department of 
Defense should continue to support members of the Armed Forces 
and their families by providing family counseling and 
individual counseling services that reduce the symptoms of 
post-traumatic stress and other behavioral health disorders and 
empowers members to be emotionally available to their spouses 
and children.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provisions.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would deem 
certain mental health professionals eligible for reimbursement 
under the TRICARE program during the period preceding January 
1, 2021.
      The conferees note that the Department of Defense 
published a final rule to implement the TRICARE Certified 
Mental Health Counselor provider as a qualified mental health 
provider authorized to independently diagnose and treat TRICARE 
beneficiaries and receive reimbursement for services. 
Counselors must possess a master's or higher-level degree from 
a Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related 
Educational Programs accredited mental health counseling 
program of education and pass the National Clinical Mental 
Health Counseling Examination. Conferees consider these 
reasonable criteria to help ensure TRICARE beneficiaries obtain 
mental health care from qualified counselors and do not believe 
another extension of the transition for qualification as a 
TRICARE Certified Mental Health Counselor beyond the extension 
in this provision would be advisable.
      Additionally, the conferees agree that the Department of 
Defense should continue to support members of the Armed Forces 
and their families by providing readily available family and 
individual counseling services that reduce the symptoms of 
post-traumatic stress and other behavioral health disorders and 
empower members to be available emotionally to their spouses 
and children. The conferees believe the Department should 
consider industry standards established by the medical 
community when developing standards for family and individual 
counseling services at military installations.

Designation of certain non-Department mental health care providers with 
        knowledge relating to treatment of members of the Armed Forces 
        (sec. 717)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 716) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense, not later than 1 
year after enactment of this Act, to develop a system by which 
any non-Department mental health care provider that meets 
eligibility criteria relating to knowledge and understanding of 
military culture and knowledge of evidence-based mental health 
treatments approved by the Secretary, would receive a mental 
health provider readiness designation from the Department. The 
provision would also require the Secretary to establish and 
update a provider list and maintain a publicly available 
registry of mental health providers receiving such designation.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Comprehensive standards and access to contraception counseling for 
        members of the Armed Forces (sec. 718)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 714) 
that would require the Department of Defense to provide, 
through clinical practice guidelines, current and evidence-
based standards of care regarding contraception methods and 
counseling to all health care providers employed by the 
Department and to ensure service women have access to 
comprehensive contraception counseling prior to deployment and 
throughout their military careers. The provision would also 
require the Secretary of Defense to establish a uniform, 
standard curriculum to be used in family planning education 
programs for all members of the Armed Forces.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

                 Subtitle C--Reports and Other Matters

Provision of transportation of dependent patients relating to 
        obstetrical anesthesia services (sec. 721)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 726) that 
would amend section 1040(a)(2) of title 10, United States Code, 
to strike the expiration date regarding the authority to 
transport dependent patients relating to obstetrical anesthesia 
services.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Extension of authority for DOD-VA Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund 
        (sec. 722)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 721) that 
would amend section 8111 of title 38, United States Code, to 
extend the authority for the DOD-VA Health Care Sharing 
Incentive Fund through September 30, 2020.
      The Senate amendment contained an identical provision 
(sec. 719).
      The conference agreement includes this provision.

Extension of authority for Joint Department of Defense-Department of 
        Veterans Affairs Medical Facility Demonstration Fund (sec. 723)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 722) that 
would amend section 1704(e) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), as 
amended by section 722 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
(Public Law 113-291), to extend the authority for the Joint 
Department of Defense-Department of Veterans Affairs Medical 
Facility Demonstration Fund from September 30, 2016, to 
September 30, 2017.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
718).
      The House recedes.

Limitation on availability of funds for Office of the Secretary of 
        Defense (sec. 724)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 713) that 
would amend chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, by 
inserting a new section after section 1073b, to prohibit the 
Secretary of Defense from realigning or restructuring a 
military medical treatment facility (MTF) until 90 days 
following the date the Secretary submits a report to the 
congressional defense committees on the proposed restructuring 
or realignment of the MTF.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit to 
75 percent the obligation or expenditure of funds available for 
fiscal year 2016 for the office of the Secretary of Defense 
until the date on which the Secretary of Defense submits to the 
congressional defense committees the report required by section 
713(a)(2) of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public 
Law 113-291). Without that report and the subsequent required 
assessment of the report by the Comptroller General of the 
United States, the conferees remain concerned that the 
Department has not fully considered all relevant factors that 
may impact the availability and delivery of health care 
services to eligible beneficiaries in its study of military 
health system modernization. The conferees expect the 
Department to make available, upon request, all available data 
regarding any decisions to eliminate health care services and 
to relocate health care personnel from military medical 
treatment facilities in the future.

Pilot program on urgent care under TRICARE program (sec. 725)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 701) 
that would authorize a covered beneficiary under the TRICARE 
program to access up to four urgent care visits per year 
without the need to obtain pre-authorization for such visits.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Secretary of Defense to carry out a 3-year pilot program to 
allow covered beneficiaries under the TRICARE program to access 
urgent care visits without the need to obtain pre-authorization 
for those visits. The amendment would require the Secretary to 
submit two interim reports and one final report on the pilot 
program to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives.
      The conferees note that current TRICARE policy requires 
TRICARE Prime beneficiaries to obtain pre-authorization for 
urgent care visits. This administrative burden encourages 
beneficiaries to utilize emergency departments inappropriately 
for urgent care needs. The conferees believe this pilot program 
would help beneficiaries choose the most appropriate source for 
the health care they need and potentially lower health care 
costs for the Department of Defense.

Pilot program on incentive programs to improve health care provided 
        under the TRICARE program (sec. 726)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 720) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot 
program to assess value-based incentive programs to encourage 
institutional and individual health care providers under the 
TRICARE program to improve quality of care, experience of care, 
and health of beneficiaries.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Secretary of Defense to submit interim reports on the pilot 
program at 1-year intervals following implementation of the 
program and a final report on the program by September 30, 
2019.

Limitation on availability of funds for Department of Defense 
        Healthcare Management Systems Modernization (sec. 727)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 723) that 
would limit obligation or expenditure of funds for fiscal year 
2016 for the Department of Defense Healthcare Management 
Systems Modernization until the date on which the Secretary of 
Defense makes the certification required by section 713(g)(2) 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 
(Public Law 113-66).
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 738) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary 
of Veterans Affairs to submit a report to Congress on 
interoperability between electronic health records of their 
Departments.
      The Senate recedes.

Submittal of information to Secretary of Veterans Affairs relating to 
        exposure to airborne hazards and open burn pits (sec. 728)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 739) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
Secretary of Veterans Affairs, not later than 180 days after 
the date of enactment of this Act and periodically thereafter, 
information available to the Secretary of Defense to supplement 
and support information in the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn 
Pit Registry established by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. 
The provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
include information on any research and surveillance activities 
conducted by the Department of Defense to evaluate incidence 
and prevalence of respiratory illnesses to servicemembers 
exposed to open burn pits during deployments.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Plan for development of procedures to measure data on mental health 
        care provided by the Department of Defense (sec. 729)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 713) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that all 
primary care and mental health care providers of the Department 
of Defense receive, or have already received, initial evidence-
based training on the recognition, assessment, and management 
of individuals at risk for suicide and any additional training 
that may be required based on evidence-based changes in mental 
health practice. Within 1 year of the date of enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary would be required to provide a report to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives that assesses the mental health workforce of 
the Department and the long-term mental health care needs of 
servicemembers and their dependents. The provision would also 
require the Secretary to develop procedures to measure mental 
health data relating to outcomes, variations in outcomes among 
military medical treatment facilities, and barriers to 
implementation of clinical practice guidelines and other 
evidence-based treatments by mental health providers of the 
Department of Defense.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a plan 
for the Department of Defense to develop procedures to compile 
and assess data relating to: (1) outcomes for mental health 
care provided by the Department; (2) variations in such 
outcomes among different medical facilities of the Department; 
and (3) barriers, if any, to the implementation by mental 
health care providers of the clinical practice guidelines and 
other evidence-based treatments and approaches recommended for 
such providers.
      The conferees are aware that the Department has policies 
and procedures in place that require primary care providers to 
receive annual training on suicide prevention, and that the 
Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs 
submitted a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives in April 2015, on a 
coordinated, unified plan to ensure adequate mental health 
counseling resources to address the long-term needs of all 
members of the Armed Forces, veterans, and their families.

Report on plans to improve experience with and eliminate performance 
        variability of health care provided by the Department of 
        Defense (sec. 730)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 734) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than 180 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, a comprehensive report describing the 
current and future plans, with estimated completion dates, of 
the Department of Defense to improve the experience of care of 
beneficiaries and to eliminate performance variability for 
health care provided in military medical treatment facilities 
and in the TRICARE purchased care network. This provision would 
also require the Comptroller General of the United States to 
submit, not later than 180 days after the Secretary submits the 
comprehensive report, a report to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives that 
assesses the report of the Secretary of Defense.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Comptroller General study on gambling and problem gambling behavior 
        among members of the Armed Forces (sec. 731)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 740) 
that would require the Comptroller General of the United States 
to conduct a study on gaming facilities at military 
installations and problem gambling among members of the Armed 
Forces, and to submit a report, within 1 year of the date of 
enactment of this Act, to the congressional defense committees.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

Access to broad range of methods of contraception approved by the Food 
        and Drug Administration for members of the Armed Forces and 
        military dependents at military treatment facilities

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 702) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that every 
military medical treatment facility has a sufficient stock of a 
broad range of contraceptive methods approved by the Food and 
Drug Administration to be able to dispense any contraceptive 
method to service women and other female beneficiaries eligible 
for healthcare in those facilities.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that military medical treatment 
facilities stock and dispense a broad range of contraceptive 
methods approved by the Food and Drug Administration to service 
women and other eligible female beneficiaries. The conferees 
encourage the Department of Defense to ensure that deployed 
service women have access to prescription contraceptives 
throughout the duration of their deployments.

Access to contraceptive method for duration of deployment

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 703) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that service 
women who use prescription contraceptives receive, prior to 
deployment, a sufficient supply of those contraceptives for the 
duration of their deployments.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees expect the Secretary of Defense to ensure 
that service women who use contraceptives have contraceptives 
available throughout their deployment. This can be accomplished 
by use of the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy program or other 
means.

Access to infertility treatment for members of the Armed Forces and 
        dependents

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 704) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
the service secretaries, to provide reproductive counseling and 
infertility treatments, including continuation of infertility 
services during a change of duty station relocation, to members 
and dependents of members of the Armed Forces.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that section 729 of the Carl Levin and 
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) requires the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees assessing the access of members of the Armed 
Forces and their dependents to reproductive counseling and 
infertility treatments. The Department of Defense has not yet 
provided this report to the committees. The conferees believe 
that a thorough study of this report must be done prior to 
enacting legislation on this issue.

Pilot program on treatment of members of the Armed Forces for post-
        traumatic stress disorder related to military sexual trauma

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 705) 
that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct a 
pilot program to award 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 
abuse, depression, and other issues related to those 
conditions.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that the Services already have 
capabilities to provide intensive outpatient services for 
substance abuse rehabilitation and behavioral health disorders. 
The Navy has 12 substance abuse rehabilitation programs located 
at intensive outpatient program sites in the United States and 
overseas, and the Air Force has one program. The Army is 
establishing intensive outpatient programs at 17 military 
medical treatment facilities by fiscal year 2016, and these 
programs will offer multi-week intensive behavioral health 
services to treat patients with severe behavioral health 
conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder.

Unified medical command

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 711) that 
would amend chapter 6 of Title 10, United States Code, to 
require the President, through the Secretary of Defense and 
with the advice and consent of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs 
of Staff, to establish a unified command for medical operations 
to provide medical services to the Armed Forces and other 
eligible health care beneficiaries.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Pilot program for operation of network of retail pharmacies under 
        TRICARE pharmacy benefits program

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 714) that 
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot 
program to evaluate whether a preferred retail pharmacy network 
will generate cost savings for the Department of Defense.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees observe that the Department of Defense 
(DOD) already operates a large preferred retail pharmacy 
network and prescriptions filled in those pharmacies are 
subject to the federal ceiling price policy established under 
section 1074g(f) of title 10, United States Code.
      The conferees note with concern that DOD did not 
proactively monitor the effects of the transition of 
maintenance medications specific to affected beneficiaries from 
retail pharmacies to mail order and military medical treatment 
facility (MTF) pharmacies, including important effects such as 
availability of medications, timeliness and accuracy of 
prescriptions filled, and satisfaction for the TRICARE for Life 
pharmacy pilot established by section 716 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-
239). Accordingly, for the first 12 months following the 
expansion of the pilot program requirements to additional 
TRICARE beneficiaries as of October 1, 2015, the conferees 
direct the DOD to provide to the Committees on Armed Services 
of the Senate and the House of Representatives a quarterly 
report detailing the results of monitoring the effects of the 
transition from retail pharmacies to mail order and MTF 
pharmacies on affected beneficiaries, including actions taken 
to address any issues identified as a result of these 
monitoring efforts. Each quarterly report shall be submitted no 
later than 30 days after the end of the respective quarter of 
the fiscal year.

Limitation on conversion of military medical and dental positions to 
        civilian medical and dental positions

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 717) 
that would amend chapter 49 of title 10, United States Code, to 
provide that a medical or dental position within the Department 
of Defense may not be converted to a civilian medical or dental 
position unless the Secretary of Defense determines that: (1) 
The position is not a military essential position; (2) 
conversion of the position would not result in the degradation 
of medical or dental care or the medical or dental readiness of 
the Armed Forces; and (3) conversion of the position to a 
civilian medical or dental position is more cost effective than 
retaining the position as a military medical or dental 
position, consistent with Department of Defense Instruction 
7041.04.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Primary blast injury research

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 724) that 
would require the peer-reviewed Psychological Health and 
Traumatic Brain Injury Research Program of the Department of 
Defense to conduct a study on blast injury mechanics covering a 
broad range of blast injury conditions, including traumatic 
brain injury.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Publication of certain information on health care provided by the 
        Department of Defense through the Hospital Compare website of 
        the Department of Health and Human Services

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 731) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a 
memorandum of understanding with the Secretary of Health and 
Human Services to report, and make publicly available through 
the Hospital Compare Internet web site of the Department of 
Health and Human Services, information on quality of care and 
health outcomes regarding patients treated at military medical 
treatment facilities.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees strongly encourage the Department of 
Defense to demonstrate greater transparency of quality of care 
and health outcomes data by making such data available on the 
Hospital Compare web site of the Department of Health and Human 
Services.

Report on plan to improve pediatric care and related services for 
        children of members of the Armed Forces

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 735) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than 180 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, a report setting forth the plan of the 
Department to improve pediatric care and related services for 
children of members of the Armed Forces.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees encourage the Department of Defense to 
continue improvement in the delivery of healthcare services to 
pediatric patients, especially those patients with severe 
disabilities, and to correct deficiencies noted in the report 
from the Secretary of Defense required by Section 735 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public 
Law 112-239). The conferees direct the Department of Defense to 
include pediatric health outcome measures in the annual report 
to Congress on TRICARE program effectiveness.

Comptroller General report on use of quality of care metrics at 
        military treatment facilities

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 737) 
that would require the Comptroller General of the United States 
to submit a report, not later than 1 year after the date of 
enactment of this Act, to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives on the Department 
of Defense's use of quality of care metrics in military medical 
treatment facilities.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note a requirement, in a separate section 
of this bill, for the Comptroller General of United States to 
submit a report assessing the Department's plans to improve 
health outcomes, to create health value, and to ensure the 
provision of quality health care in military medical treatment 
facilities and through purchased care.

Report on implementation of data security and transmission standards 
        for electronic health records

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 741) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary 
of Veterans Affairs to submit a joint report to Congress by 
June 1, 2016, on the implementation of security and data 
transmission standards by the Departments in the deployment of 
new or updated electronic health records.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

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

             Subtitle A--Acquisition Policy and Management

Required review of acquisition-related functions of the Chiefs of Staff 
        of the Armed Forces (sec. 801)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 802) that 
would require the Chief of Staff of the Army, the Chief of 
Naval Operations, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and the 
Commandant of the Marine Corps to review their current 
authorities provided in sections 3033, 5033, 5043, and 8033 of 
title 10, United States Code, and other relevant statutes and 
regulations related to defense acquisitions for the purpose of 
developing such recommendations that the Chief concerned or the 
Commandant considers necessary to further or strengthen the 
role of the Chief concerned or the Commandant in the 
development of requirements, acquisition processes, and the 
associated budget practices of the Department of Defense.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Role of Chiefs of Staff in the acquisition process (sec. 802)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 801) 
that would amend section 2547 of title 10, United States Code, 
to enhance the role of Chiefs of Staff in the defense 
acquisition process. This provision would reinforce the role 
and responsibilities of the Chiefs of Staff in decisions 
regarding the balancing of resources and priorities, and 
associated tradeoffs among cost, schedule, technical 
feasibility, and performance on major defense acquisition 
programs.
      The House bill had no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Expansion of rapid acquisition authority (sec. 803)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 802) 
that would amend section 806(c) of the Bob Stump National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (10 U.S.C. 2302 
note), as amended by section 811 of the Ronald W. Reagan 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Public 
Law 108-375). This provision would enhance the rapid 
acquisition authority currently provided to the Secretary of 
Defense by allowing the Secretary to use this authority for two 
new categories of supplies and associated support services that 
the Secretary determines: (1) are urgently needed and impact an 
ongoing or anticipated contingency operation that, if left 
unfulfilled, could potentially result in loss of life or 
critical mission failure; or (2) are urgently needed to 
eliminate a deficiency that as the result of a cyber attack has 
resulted in critical mission failure, the loss of life, 
property destruction, or economic effects, or is likely to 
result in critical mission failure, the significant loss of 
life, property destruction, or economic effects.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Middle tier of acquisition for rapid prototyping and rapid fielding 
        (sec. 804)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 803) 
that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to issue guidance for an 
expedited and streamlined ``middle tier'' of acquisition 
programs that are intended to be completed within 5 years. 
These programs would be distinctive from ``rapid acquisitions'' 
that are generally completed within 6 months to 2 years and 
``traditional'' acquisitions that last much longer than 5 
years.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Use of alternative acquisition paths to acquire critical national 
        security capabilities (sec. 805)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 805) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish 
procedures and guidelines for alternative acquisition pathways 
to acquire capital assets and services that meet critical 
national security needs.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
procedures to be developed within 180 days.

Secretary of Defense waiver of acquisition laws to acquire vital 
        national security capabilities (sec. 806)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 806) 
that would allow the Secretary of Defense to waive acquisition 
law or regulation for the purpose of acquiring a capability 
that is in the vital interest of the United States and is not 
otherwise available to the Armed Forces of the United States. 
The Secretary shall notify the congressional defense committees 
at least 30 days before exercising the waiver authority and 
designate a senior official who shall be personally responsible 
and accountable for the rapid and effective acquisition and 
deployment of the needed capability.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Acquisition authority of the Commander of United States Cyber Command 
        (sec. 807)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 807) 
that would authorize limited acquisition authority for the 
Commander of United States Cyber Command (CYBERCOM).
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
that the Commander of CYBERCOM may obligate and expend up to 
$75.0 million of the funds made available for each fiscal year 
from 2016 through 2021. The amendment would add a requirement 
for an implementation plan, the review of programs being 
acquired under this authority by the Cyber Investment 
Management Board, and an annual end of year assessment. The 
amendment would also make a number of technical and conforming 
edits.
      The conferees believe the Commander of CYBERCOM should 
utilize this limited acquisition authority to fulfill cyber 
operations-peculiar and cyber capability-peculiar requirements 
the services are unable to meet to ensure the Department of 
Defense is adequately postured to defend and respond to cyber 
threats. The conferees maintain that this limited authority 
should not be construed to replace the acquisition 
responsibilities of the military services to fulfill their man, 
train and equip requirements. The conferees believe successful 
demonstration of these acquisition authorities will require 
implementation of memoranda of agreement with the military 
services to define enduring responsibilities and more explicit 
definition cyber operations-peculiar and cyber capability-
peculiar requirements.

Report on linking and streamlining requirements, acquisition, and 
        budget processes within Armed Forces (sec. 808)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 801) that 
would require the Chief of Staff of the Army, the Chief of 
Naval Operations, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and the 
Commandant of the Marine Corps to each submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees on their efforts to leverage 
their existing statutory authorities in a manner that links and 
streamlines their services' requirements, acquisition, and 
budget processes in order to foster improved outcomes.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Advisory panel on streamlining and codifying acquisition regulations 
        (sec. 809)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 808) 
that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition, Technology and Logistics to establish an advisory 
panel on streamlining acquisition regulations.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Review of time-based requirements process and budgeting and acquisition 
        systems (sec. 810)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 809) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of 
the Joint Chiefs of Staff to review the requirements process to 
provide for a time-based or phased distinction between 
capabilities needed to be deployed urgently, within 2 years, 
within 5 years, and longer than 5 years.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment to clarify the scope 
of the review.

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

Amendment relating to multiyear contract authority for acquisition of 
        property (sec. 811)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 806) that 
would strike the existing requirement that the head of an 
agency must determine that substantial savings would be 
achieved before entering into a multiyear contract.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
that significant savings would be achieved before entering into 
a multiyear contract.
      The conferees agree that the government should seek to 
maximize savings whenever it pursues multiyear procurement. 
However, the conferees also agree that significant savings 
(estimated to be greater than $250.0 million), and other 
benefits, may be achieved even if it does not equate to a 
minimum of 10 percent savings over the cost of an annual 
contract. The conferees expect a request for authority to enter 
into a multiyear contract will include (1) the estimated cost 
savings, (2) the minimum quantity needed, (3) confirmation that 
the design is stable and the technical risks are not excessive, 
and (4) any other rationale for entering into such a contract.

Applicability of cost and pricing data and certification requirements 
        (sec. 812)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 822) 
that would limit the applicability of the Truth in Negotiations 
Act (Public Law 87-653; 10 U.S.C. section 2306a) to offset 
agreements.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would provide 
for an exception to this limitation for subcontracts and 
contracts under the offset agreement for work performed in a 
foreign country that are directly-related to the weapon systems 
of defense-related item being purchased under the contract.

Rights in technical data (sec. 813)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 825) 
that would clarify procedures for the validation of rights in 
technical data for subsystems and components of major weapon 
systems; and establish a government-industry advisory panel to 
review sections 2320 and 2321 of title 10, United States Code.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Procurement of supplies for experimental purposes (sec. 814)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 826) 
that would update the experimental acquisition authority in 
section 2373 of title 10, United States Code, to apply to 
transportation, energy, medical, and space flight and to 
clarify when provisions of Chapter 137 of title 10 apply to 
such procurements.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Amendments to other transaction authority (sec. 815)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 853) would 
make permanent the other transactions authority (OTA) for 
contracting established in section 845 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160), as 
modified most recently by section 812 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 changes to the authority to use such mechanisms.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision 
(section 804) that modified the authority, as well as modifying 
the definition of a ``non-traditional'' defense contractor.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) make 
section 845 authority permanent; (2) clarify the authority to 
use section 845 authority to acquire prototypes or follow-on 
production items to be provided to contractors as government-
furnished equipment; (3) ensure that innovative small business 
firms are authorized to participate in other transactions under 
section 845 without the requirement for a cost-share (except 
where the small business is partnered with a large business in 
a transaction); and (4) clarify the use of follow-on production 
contracts or other transactions authority. The provision 
further requires the Department of Defense to study the 
benefits of permitting not-for-profit entities to enter into 
other transactions agreements without the requirement for cost 
sharing.
      The conferees believe that the flexibility of the OTA 
authorities of section 2371 of title 10, United States Code, 
and the related and dependent authorities of section 845 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public 
Law 103-160) as modified and codified in this provision, can 
make them attractive to firms and organizations that do not 
usually participate in government contracting due to the 
typical overhead burden and ``one size fits all'' rules. The 
conferees believe that expanded use of OTAs will support 
Department of Defense efforts to access new source of technical 
innovation, such as Silicon Valley startup companies and small 
commercial firms.

Amendment to acquisition threshold for special emergency procurement 
        authority (sec. 816)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 854) that 
would raise the simplified acquisition threshold from $100,000 
to $500,000, the micro-purchase threshold from $3,000 to 
$5,000, and the special emergency procurement authority 
threshold for purchases inside the United States from $250,000 
to $750,000 and for purchases outside the United States from 
$1.0 million to $1.5 million, and the small business 
reservation threshold from $100,000 to $500,000.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend 
section 1903 of title 41, United States Code to raise the 
special emergency procurement authority threshold.

Revision of method of rounding when making inflation adjustment of 
        acquisition-related dollar thresholds (sec. 817)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 855) that 
would amend section 1908(e)(2) of title 41, United States Code, 
to change the rounding method that is used when scheduled 
adjustments are made to certain acquisition-related dollar 
thresholds.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

 Subtitle C--Provisions Relating to Major Defense Acquisition Programs

Acquisition strategy required for each major defense acquisition 
        program, major automated information system, and major system 
        (sec. 821)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 822) that 
would establish a new section in chapter 144 of title 10, 
United States Code, that requires an acquisition strategy for 
each major defense acquisition program and each major system 
approved by a Milestone Decision Authority (MDA).
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
841).
      The conference agreement includes a provision that 
combines these two provisions. The provision would mandate that 
the Department of Defense create an acquisition strategy for 
each major defense acquisition program, each major automated 
information system, and each major system approved by an MDA. 
The provision further outlines key areas that should be 
considered in the strategies, as well as a process for the 
periodic review of the strategy by the MDA.

Revision to requirements relating to risk management in development of 
        major defense acquisition programs and major systems (sec. 822)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 823) that 
would establish a new section in chapter 144 of title 10, 
United States Code that requires the program acquisition 
strategy for each major defense acquisition program or major 
system to include an identification of major program risks and 
a risk management and mitigation strategy.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
842).
      The conference agreement includes a provision that 
combines these two provisions designed to reduce programmatic 
risk. The provision mandates that the program acquisition 
strategy specifically address approaches to manage and mitigate 
risks, and highlights a number of techniques that support such 
mitigation. The provision further highlights the importance of 
prototyping as a risk mitigation approach.
      The conferees expect that the risk mitigation aspects of 
a program acquisition strategy should be addressed with each 
increment of a program. Further, the conferees expect that the 
comprehensive approach to risk mitigation should identify: each 
individual risk to the program; risk management and mitigation 
activities developed to address the risks; and resources to 
support those mitigation activities.

Revision of Milestone A decision authority responsibilities for major 
        defense acquisition programs (sec. 823)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 825) that 
would amend section 2366a of title 10, United States Code, to 
require the Milestone Decision Authority to make a written 
determination, in lieu of a certification, before approving 
milestone A.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
844).
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that combines these 
two provisions. The provision establishes the Milestone 
Decision Authority's responsibility to ensure that an 
acquisition program has demonstrated sufficient knowledge to 
enter into a risk reduction phase following Milestone A and has 
sound plans to progress to the development phase before 
granting milestone approval. It specifies the considerations 
the milestone decision authority must take into account, 
thereby addressing the critical activities that need to precede 
and occur during the succeeding risk reduction phase.

Revision of Milestone B decision authority responsibilities for major 
        defense acquisition programs (sec. 824)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 826) that 
would amend section 2366b of title 10, United States Code, to 
require the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) to make a 
written determination, instead of a certification, for some of 
the existing certification requirements before approving 
milestone B.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
845).
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that combines these 
two provisions.
      The provision establishes the MDA's responsibility to 
ensure that an acquisition program has demonstrated sufficient 
knowledge to enter a development phase and has sound plans in 
place to deliver the required capability, before granting 
milestone approval. It specifies the considerations the MDA 
must take into account, thereby addressing the critical 
activities that need to precede and occur during the 
development phase. It further specifies that the MDA must 
certify that the program has a high likelihood of accomplishing 
its intended mission based on a formal post-preliminary design 
review assessment, and that the technology in the program has 
been demonstrated in a relevant environment based on an 
independent review and assessment.

Designation of milestone decision authority (sec. 825)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 843) 
that would amend section 2430 of title 10, United States Code, 
to designate the service acquisition executives as the 
milestone decision authority for major acquisition programs 
managed by the military services; require that if a program 
managed by the services breaches thresholds in the Nunn-McCurdy 
Act, section 2433 of title 10, United States Code, the 
Secretary of Defense shall revoke service milestone decision 
authority for the program; clarify that for service programs 
where the service acquisition executive is the milestone 
decision authority the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics would exercise advisory 
authority; require that the service secretaries and service 
chiefs certify in each Selected Acquisition Report that program 
requirements are stable and funding is adequate to meet cost, 
schedule, and performance objectives for each major defense 
acquisition program; require the Deputy Chief Management 
Officer to issue guidance to ensure that acquisition policy, 
guidance, and practices support a streamlined decision making 
and approval process that minimizes information requests on 
service managed programs; and require not later than 180 days 
after the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense to 
submit to the congressional defense committees a plan to 
implement the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics advisory authority for service 
acquisition programs. The provision mandated implementation of 
the changes within 1 year of the date of enactment of the Act.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
that the provision would apply to new programs reaching 
milestone A after October 1, 2016; modify certain certification 
requirements; and require the Secretary of Defense to review 
the acquisition oversight process for major defense acquisition 
programs and limit outside requirements for documentation to an 
absolute minimum on those service managed programs. The 
conferees note that the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics should only exercise 
advisory authority, subject to the overall authority, 
direction, and control of the Secretary of Defense, over 
service acquisition programs for which the service acquisition 
executive is the milestone decision authority.

Tenure and accountability of program managers for program definition 
        periods (sec. 826)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 846) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to revise 
Department of Defense guidance for defense acquisition programs 
to address the tenure and accountability of program managers 
for the program definition period of defense acquisition 
programs.
      The House bill contained no similar a provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment to clarify the period 
of time to which the required guidance applies, and to include 
authority for the Secretary of Defense to adjust program 
management assignment tenures, under certain circumstances.

Tenure and accountability of program managers for program execution 
        periods (sec. 827)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 847) 
that would address the tenure and accountability of program 
managers for the program execution period of defense 
acquisition programs.
      The House bill contained no similar a provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment to clarify the 
elements of the guidance to be issued as a result of the 
provision.

Penalty for cost overruns (sec. 828)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 849) 
under which each military department would pay an annual 
penalty in the amount of 3 percent of the cumulative cost 
overrun on all of its major defense acquisition programs 
(MDAPs).
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Streamlining of reporting requirements applicable to Assistant 
        Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering regarding 
        major defense acquisition programs (sec. 829)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 850) 
that would amend section 138(b) of title 10, United States 
Code, to change the scope of periodic reports the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering is required 
to deliver to the congressional defense committees, the 
Secretary of Defense, and the Undersecretary of Defense for 
Acquisition, Technology and Logistics.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Configuration Steering Boards for cost control under major defense 
        acquisition programs (sec. 830)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 851) 
that would amend section 814 of the Duncan Hunter National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-
417) to require each Configuration Steering Board to track any 
changes in program requirements for a major defense acquisition 
program and that all such changes must receive approval by the 
service chief in consultation with the service secretary.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
the types of changes required to be approved by the service 
chief.

Repeal of requirement for stand-alone manpower estimates for major 
        defense acquisition programs (sec. 831)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 856) that 
would consolidate the statutory requirement for a detailed 
manpower estimate prior to approval of development or 
production and deployment of a major defense acquisition 
program as established by section 2434 of title 10, United 
States Code, with the independent estimate of the full life-
cycle cost of the program also required by section 2434.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
848).
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
that the independent estimate of the full-life cycle costs of a 
program include the costs of training.

Revision to duties of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
        Developmental Test and Evaluation and the Deputy Assistant 
        Secretary of Defense for Systems Engineering (sec. 832)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 862) that 
would amend section 139b of title 10, United States Code, to 
clarify that the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
Developmental Test and Evaluation and the Deputy Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Systems Engineering advise the 
Milestone Decision Authority regarding review and approval of 
developmental test plans and systems engineering plans.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Developmental 
Test and Evaluation and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Systems Engineering to review developmental test 
and evaluation and systems engineering master plans for major 
defense acquisition programs, respectively, and advise relevant 
technical authorities on the incorporation of best practices 
for programs under consideration.

        Subtitle D--Provisions Relating to Acquisition Workforce

Amendments relating to Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund 
        (sec. 841)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 811) that 
would amend section 1705 of title 10, United States Code, to 
make permanent the authority for both the Defense Acquisition 
Workforce Development Fund and the associated expedited hiring 
authority.
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 872) 
that would extend the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development 
Fund for 5 additional years and modify the requirements of the 
biennial strategic workforce plan to assess any new or expanded 
critical skills or competencies needed by the acquisition 
workforce. The Senate amendment also contained a provision 
(sec. 1106) that would extend the expedited hiring authority 
for designated defense acquisition workforce positions for 5 
years.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would combine 
the provisions. The provision would make permanent the 
authority for both the Defense Acquisition Workforce Develop 
Fund and the associated expedited hiring authority, as well as 
making technical revisions to the administration of the Fund 
and to the biennial strategic workforce plan.

Dual-track military professionals in operational and acquisition 
        specialities (sec. 842)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 812) that 
would amend section 1722a of title 10, United States Code, by 
reinstituting a dual-tracking system of primary and functional 
secondary career fields for officers and noncommissioned 
officers serving in acquisition positions by dual-tracking such 
personnel in operational and acquisition career fields under 
the shared accountability and responsibility of the military 
service chiefs and component acquisition executives for career 
path management and selections.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
503) that would provide for an enhanced dual track career path 
in combat arms and a functional secondary career in acquisition 
to more closely align military operational requirements and 
acquisition and include business and commercial training as 
joint professional military education.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees encourage the Secretary to ensure that the 
curriculum for Phase II joint professional military education 
includes matters in acquisition to ensure the successful 
performance in the acquisition or acquisition related fields.

Provision of joint duty assignment credit for acquisition duty (sec. 
        843)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 813) that 
would amend section 668 of title 10, United States Code, by 
adding to the term ``joint matters'' the inclusion of 
acquisition matters addressed by military personnel.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
503) that would provide for credit for joint duty assignments 
for acquisition related assignments in order to broaden the 
promotion preference and career opportunities of military 
acquisition professionals.
      The Senate recedes.

Mandatory requirement for training related to the conduct of market 
        research (sec. 844)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 815) that 
would amend section 2377 of title 10, United States Code, by

      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that the Department should consider 
using the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund for 
training in market research and other training needed to 
improve the Department's use of commercial contracting and 
pricing methods to better access commercial industry sources.

        improvement efforts (sec. 845)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 816) that

with an independent research entity that is a not-for-profit 
entity or a federally funded research and development center 
with appropriate expertise and analytical capability to carry 
out a comprehensive study of the Department of Defense's 
strategic planning related to the defense acquisition 
workforce.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Extension of authority for the civilian acquisition workforce personnel 
        demonstration project (sec. 846)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 817) that 
would amend section 1762 of title 10, United States Code, by 
extending the demonstration project relating to certain 
acquisition personnel management policies and procedures 
through 2020.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1110) that would amend section 1762, title 10, United States 
Code, to extend the Civilian Acquisition Workforce Personnel 
Demonstration Project under that section through December 31, 
2020.
      The House recedes.

          Subtitle E--Provisions Relating to Commercial Items

Procurement of commercial items (sec. 851)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 804) that 
would: 1) amend chapter 140 of title 10, United States Code, by 
adding a new section that would require the Secretary of 
Defense to establish and maintain a centralized capability with

item determinations for Department of Defense procurements and 
to provide public access to Department of Defense commercial

title 10, United States Code, to allow the contracting officer 
to presume that a prior commercial item determination made by a 
military department, Defense Agency, or other component of the 
Department of Defense shall serve as a determination for 
subsequent procurements of such items.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
863) that would require the modification to the Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement to address the continuing 
validity of commercial item determinations for multiple 
procurements.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine 
both provisions and make technical and conforming changes.

Modification to information required to be submitted by offeror in 
        procurement of major weapon systems as commercial items (sec. 
        852)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 805) that 
would amend section 2379 of title 10, United States Code, by 
striking the requirement that in making a determination that an 
item is a commercial item, the contracting officer shall

      The Senate recedes.

Report on defense-unique laws applicable to the procurement of 
        commercial items and commercially available off-the-shelf items 
        (sec. 854)

      The Senate amendment 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 statues to contracts for commercial items and commercial 
available off-the-shelf items.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Department of Defense to report to the congressional 
defense committees identifying the defense-unique provisions of 
law that are applicable for the procurement of commercial items 
or commercial-off-the shelf items, both at the prime and 
subcontract level.

Market research and preference for commercial items (sec. 855)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 862) 
that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition, Technology and Logistics to issue guidance to

Limitation on conversion of procurements from commercial acquisition 
        procedures (sec. 856)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 865) 
that would limit the conversion of the procurement of a 
commercial item or commercial service to a non-commercial 
acquisition procedure unless the Secretary of Defense certifies 
to the congressional defense committees that the Department of 
Defense will realize a significant cost savings as compared to 
the cost of procuring a similar quantity of such item or level 
of service using commercial acquisition procedures.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would require a

                  Subtitle F--Industrial Base Matters

Amendment to Mentor-Protege Program (sec. 861)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that 
would codify the Department of Defense Mentor-Protege Pilot 
Program in Title 10 United States Code as a permanent program.
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 877) 
that would extend the authorization for Department of Defense 
Mentor-Protege Pilot Program by 1 year.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
the eligibility requirements, forms of assistance, extension of 
the authorization and reporting requirements.
      The conferees note that the Congressionally-mandated 
Mentor-Protege program is intended to support efforts of small 
and disadvantaged businesses to partner with established 
defense suppliers to improve their ability to deliver needed 
technologies and services to the Department of Defense. The 
committee is concerned that the program may not always be 
executed to most effectively achieve mandated goals. Analysis 
of this program indicates that in some cases, protege firms 
participating in this program had received millions of dollars 
in federal prime contract awards prior to the establishment of 
their Mentor-Protege agreements, indicating they may have 
possessed sufficient ability to market their goods and services 
to federal customers without the need for additional 
developmental assistance.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to report 
to the House Committee on Armed Services and the Senate 
Committee on Armed Services, within 90 days of the enactment of 
this Act, on changes to program policy and metrics that would 
ensure the program meets the goal of enhancing the defense 
supplier base in the most effective and efficient manner. The 
report shall include recommendations to better direct the 
developmental assistance to the most appropriate disadvantaged 
small business concerns, including nontraditional defense 
contractors currently providing goods or services in the 
private sector that are most critical to enhancing the 
capabilities of the defense supplier base and fulfilling key 
Department needs. The report shall describe how the Department 
will strengthen the review processes of program investments to 
ensure activities proposed in developmental plans are necessary 
for the protege's development, taking into account the 
protege's reported prime contract and subcontract awards, and 
that mentors are obtaining the best value for all reimbursed 
activities. The report shall also assess alternate models for 
incentives for participation by mentor companies in the program 
other than direct reimbursement, and shall detail program 
metrics that would enable the Department to evaluate the 
program's return on investment and the actual impact of the 
development assistance on the protege's ability to support DOD 
needs. The conferees recommend that the Secretary ensure that 
the annual reports generated by the Defense Contract Management 
Agency are sufficient to be used to evaluate team performance 
and mentor reimbursement.
      Further, the conferees direct the U.S. Comptroller 
General of the United States, within 1 year of enactment of 
this Act, report to the House Committee on Armed Services and 
the Senate Committee on Armed Services, with an assessment of 
the efficacy of the DOD Mentor-Protege pilot program, recommend 
ways to harmonize the DOD Mentor-Protege pilot program with the 
Small Business Administration's Mentor-Protege program, and 
discuss whether the reimbursement mechanism for the DOD Mentor-
Protege pilot program should be maintained.

Amendments to data quality improvement plan (sec. 862)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 832) that 
would amend section 15(s) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
644(s)) to require the Administrator of the Small Business 
Administration to annually provide to the Committee on Small 
Business of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
Small Business and Entrepreneurship of the Senate certification 
of the accuracy and completeness of data reported on bundled 
and consolidated contracts. This section would also require the 
Comptroller General of the United States to provide a report to 
the aforementioned committees not later than the first day of 
fiscal year 2019 on the effectiveness of the certification 
process and an assessment of whether contracts were accurately 
labeled as bundled or consolidated.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Notice of contract consolidation for acquisition strategies (sec. 863)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 833) that 
would amend section 44(c)(2) of the Small Business Act (15 
U.S.C. 657q(c)(2)) to require the senior procurement executive 
or chief acquisition officer to announce through a public 
website that a determination has been made to bundle or 
consolidate contracts within 1 week of making the 
determination, but no later than 1 week prior to the issuance 
of a solicitation.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Clarification of requirements related to small business contracts for 
        services (sec. 864)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 834) that 
would amend section 8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act (15 
U.S.C. 637(a)(17)) to clarify that the statute applies to 
contracts for goods, but not services or construction. The 
conferees note that the non-manufacturer rule (NMR) was 
established to ensure that, when competition for a contract for 
goods is restricted to small businesses, the goods ultimately 
purchased were indeed the product of a small business. However, 
the conferees are concerned that the NMR is being applied to 
services and construction contracts and could limit small 
business participants contracting for services and construction 
to the Federal Government. Therefore, the conferees believe 
this clarification to section 8(a)(17) is necessary.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Certification requirements for Business Opportunity Specialists, 
        commercial market representatives, and procurement center 
        representatives (sec. 865)

would amend section 15 and section 4 of the Small Business Act 
(15 U.S.C. 644 and 633, respectively) to set certification 
requirements for commercial market representatives and to 
modify the current certification requirements for procurement 
center representatives and Business Opportunity Specialists.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

Modifications to requirements for qualified HUBZone small business 
        concerns located in a base closure area (sec. 866)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 842) that 
would amend section 152(a)(2) of title I of division K of the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005 (15 U.S.C. 632 note) to 
extend the length of time covered base closure areas may 
participate in the Historically Underutilized Business Zone 
(HUBZone) program to either 8 years or until the Small Business 
Administration announces which areas will qualify for the 
HUBZone program after the next decennial census data is 
released. This section would also amend section 
3(p)(5)(A)(i)(l) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 
632(p)(5)(A)(i)(I)) to include allowed covered base closure 
area HUBZone participants to meet the program's employment 
requirements by hiring 35 percent of their employees from any 
qualified HUBZone, and would amend section 3(p)(4)(D) of the 
Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(p)(4)(D)) to extend physical 
boundaries of the covered base closure area, for purpose of the 
HUBZone program, to include lands within a 25-mile radius of 
the base.
      The Senate amendment contained two similar provisions 
(sec. 882 and 883) that would amend the Small Business Act, 
title 15, United States Code to authorize the inclusion of 
qualified disaster areas to the Historically Underutilized 
Business Zone program administered by the Small Business 
Administration and to authorize the inclusion of base closure 
areas to the Historically Underutilized Business Zone program 
administered by the Small Business Administration.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine 
both provisions.

Joint venturing and teaming (sec. 867)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 843) that 
would amend section 15(e)(4) and 15(q)(1) of the Small Business 
Act (15 U.S.C. 644(e)(4) and 15 U.S.C. 644(q)(1)), 
respectively, by requiring agencies to give due consideration 
to the capabilities and past performances of the small 
businesses that submit offers as teams or joint ventures when 
the contract is bundled, consolidated, or for a multiple-award 
contract.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Modification to and scorecard program for small business contracting 
        goals (sec. 868)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 844) that 
would codify a requirement to publish a scorecard on agency 
achievements regarding contract awards to small businesses and 
require a Government Accountability Office report on the 
effectiveness of the scorecard methodology.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment to remove the 
requirement for the establishment and execution of the program 
before the end of fiscal year 2017.

Establishment of an Office of Hearings and Appeals in the Small 
        Business Administration; petitions for reconsideration of size 
        standards (sec. 869)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 845) that 
would amend section 5 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 634) 
that would establish an Office of Hearings and Appeals in the 
Small Business Administration that would review petitions for 
the revision of small business size standards.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Additional duties of the Director of Small and Disadvantaged Business 
        Utilization (sec. 870)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 885) 
that would require the small business offices in the Office of 
the Secretary of Defense and the military departments to serve 
as intermediaries between small businesses and contracting 
officials prior to the award of contracts in cases where a 
small business prospective contractor notifies the small 
business office that it has reason to believe that the 
contracting process has been modified to preclude a small 
business from bidding on the contract or would give another 
contractor an unfair competitive advantage.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
section 15(k) of the Small Business Act (title 15, United 
States Code, section 644) to describe the responsibilities of 
federal agency Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business 
Utilization offices in cases where a small business concern 
prior to the award of a contract believes that a solicitation, 
request for proposal, or request for quotation might unduly 
restrict the ability of the small business concern to compete 
for the award.

Including subcontracting goals in agency responsibilities (sec. 871)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 841) that 
would amend section 1633(b) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to 
include consideration of success in attainment of small 
business subcontracting goals as part of agency 
responsibilities.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Reporting related to failure of contractors to meet goals under 
        negotiated comprehensive small business subcontracting plans 
        (sec. 872)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 828) 
that would amend section 834(d) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 (Public Law 
101-189) to require the Secretary of Defense to report to 
Congress on any negotiated comprehensive subcontracting plan 
that the Secretary determines did not meet the subcontracting 
goals negotiated in the plan for the prior fiscal year.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Pilot program for streamlining awards for innovative technology 
        projects (sec. 873)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 831) 
that would establish a pilot program to provide an exception 
from the requirements under sections 2306a(1) and 2313 of title 
10, United States Code, for contracts or subcontracts valued at 
less than $7.5 million that are awarded based on a technical 
merit based selection procedure.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Surety bond requirements and amount of guarantee (sec. 874)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 839) that 
would: (1) amend section 411 of the Small Business Investment 
Act of 1958 (15 U.S.C. Sec. 694b(c)(1)) to increase the 
guarantee rate for surety bonds issued pursuant to the Small 
Business Administration's (SBA) Preferred Program to 90 
percent; (2) amend chapter 93 of title 31, United States Code, 
to require that individual sureties have sufficient assets to 
redeem the bonds; and (3) provide for a study by the

and disadvantaged business enterprises.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would retain 
the provision addressing the SBA program and the provision 
governing the use of individual sureties. However, each 
provision will be subject to a 1-year delay in implementation 
to allow for the necessary rulemaking. The conference agreement 
does not retain the provisions amending the SBA surety bond 
program, nor does it provide for a study by the Comptroller 
General.
      The conferees believe the compromise will allow for 
greater protection of federal agencies and subcontractors 
protected by surety bonds, while allowing the SBA more time to 
document the effects of changes to the surety bond program made 
by section 1695 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239).

Review of Government access to intellectual property rights of private 
        sector firms (sec. 875)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 835) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract 
with an independent entity with appropriate expertise to 
conduct a review of Department of Defense regulations and

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

        a determination about defense acquisition program requirements 
        (sec. 876)

would amend section 2505 of title 10, United States Code, to 
include in the required periodic assessment of defense 
capability an additional requirement for the Secretary of 
Defense to also determine the extent to which the requirements 
associated with defense acquisition programs can be satisfied 
by the present and projected performance capacities of 
industries supporting the sectors or capabilities in the 
assessment and evaluate the reasons for any variance from 
applicable preceding determinations.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
the review of the number of industry sources and whether 
requirements could be satisfied by industries not actively 
supporting the Department of Defense.

                       Subtitle G--Other Matters

Consideration of potential program cost increases and schedule delays 
        resulting from oversight of defense acquisition programs (sec. 
        881)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 851) that 
would amend section 139 of title 10, United States Code, by 
including a new subsection that would require the Director of 
Operational Test and Evaluation to consider the potential for 
increases in program cost estimates or delays in schedule 
estimates in the implementation of policies, procedures, and 
activities related to operational test and evaluation, and to 
take appropriate action to ensure that the conduct of 
operational test and evaluation activities do not unnecessarily 
impede program schedules or increase program costs.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
that all relevant Department of Defense acquisition, management 
and oversight agencies consider the potential for increases in 
program costs or cost estimates or delays resulting from their 
office's oversight efforts with regards to defense acquisition.

Examination and guidance relating to oversight and approval of services 
        contracts (sec. 882)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 857) that 
would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics to complete an examination by March 
1, 2016, of the decision authority related to acquisition of 
services and to develop and promulgate guidance to improve 
capabilities related to services contracts requirements 
development, source selection, and contract oversight and 
management.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Streamlining of requirements relating to defense business systems (sec. 
        883)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 858) that 
would revise section 2222 of title 10, United States Code, to 
clarify responsibilities for the management of defense business 
information technology systems. As a result, this section would 
repeal the current reporting requirement contained in section 
2222 of title 10, United States Code, and insert a new annual 
reporting requirement through the year 2020 on the revised 
requirements of section 2222.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision 
(section 871).
      The conference agreement includes a provision that would 
combine the two provisions. The revised section 2222 of title 
10, United States Code, streamlines the requirements for 
development and management of business systems, as well as 
associated reporting requirements; mandates elements of 
guidance to be issued by the Secretary of Defense on 
investments in and acquisition of business systems; clarifies 
the responsibilities of senior officials in the acquisition and 
management of business systems; and emphasizes the need for 
robust business process engineering prior to investment in 
commercial technology or the modification of commercial systems 
for use by the Department of Defense.

Procurement of personal protective equipment (sec. 884)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 860) that 
would ensure the Secretary of Defense uses best value 
contracting methods to the maximum extent practicable when 
procuring an item of personal protective equipment.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
824 that would: (1) prohibit the use of reverse auctions and 
lowest priced 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; and (2) establish a preference for best 
value contracting methods when procuring such equipment.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment to combine the two 
provisions to ensure that the Department of Defense to the 
maximum extent practicable uses best value criteria for the 
procurement of these items.
      The conferees are concerned that an overarching bias 
towards reducing prices paid by the Department of Defense (DOD) 
to the exclusion of other factors could result in DOD buying 
low cost products that have the potential to negatively impact 
the safety of U.S. military personnel. The conferees believe 
this could be a particular problem with the quality of personal 
protective equipment such as combat helmets, body armor, 
ballistic eye protection, and other similar individual 
equipment issued to U.S. military personnel.

Amendments concerning detection and avoidance of counterfeit electronic 
        parts (sec. 885)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 861) that 
would amend section 818(c)(2)(B) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) to 
expand the eligibility for covered contractors to include costs 
associated with rework and corrective action related to 
counterfeit electronic parts as allowable costs under 
Department of Defense contracts.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would allow the 
Department of Defense to approve of industry-selected trusted 
suppliers.

Exception for AbilityOne products from authority to acquire goods and 
        services manufactured in Afghanistan, Central Asian States, and 
        Djibouti (sec. 886)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 865) that 
would amend Section 886 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (10 U.S.C. 2302 note) and Section 1263 
of the Carl Levin and Howard P. `Buck' McKeon National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) to 
exclude items that can be procured under the AbilityOne 
procurement list outlined in section 8503(a) of title 41, 
United States Code from preferred local procurement in 
Afghanistan, Iraq, Central Asia, and Djibouti.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
884) that would amend section 886 National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (10 U.S.C. 2302 note) 
and section 801 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) to exclude items in the 
procurement list described in section 8503(a) of title 41 from 
preferred local procurement in Afghanistan and Central Asia, 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.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Effective communication between government and industry (sec. 887)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 866) that 
would require the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to 
prescribe a regulation making clear that agency acquisition 
personnel are permitted and encouraged to engage in responsible 
and constructive exchanges with industry, so long as those 
exchanges are consistent with existing law and regulation and 
do not promote an unfair competitive advantage to particular 
firms.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Standards for procurement of secure information technology and cyber 
        security systems (sec. 888)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 870) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct an assessment 
of the application of the Open Trusted Technology Provider 
Standard to Department of Defense procurements for information 
technology and cyber security acquisitions.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand on 
the types of open technology standards to be assessed.

Unified information technology services (sec. 889)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 873) 
that would require the Department of Defense to conduct a 
business case analysis to determine the most effective and 
efficient way to acquire common services across Department of 
Defense (DOD) networks and ensure interoperability and 
competition.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Cloud strategy for Department of Defense (sec. 890)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 874) 
that would require the Chief Information Officer (CIO) of the 
Department of Defense to develop a cloud strategy for the 
secret level of classified data and the Secret Internet 
Protocol network (SIPRnet). The provision would also require 
the CIO to develop a consistent pricing and cost recovery 
process for the use by Department of Defense components of the 
Intelligence Community's cloud services. The provision would 
also require the CIO to assess the feasibility and advisability 
of imposing a minimum set of open standards for cloud 
infrastructure, middle-ware, metadata, and application 
programming interfaces to promote interoperability, information 
sharing, access to data, and competition.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Development period for Department of Defense information technology 
        systems (sec. 891)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 875) 
that would amend section 2445b of title 10, United States Code, 
to modify requirements applicable to a major automated 
information system program that fails to achieve a full 
deployment decision within 5 years after the initiation of the 
program.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Revisions to pilot program on acquisition of military purpose 
        nondevelopmental items (sec. 892)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 876) 
that would amend section 866 of the Ike Skelton National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-
383) to expand the applicability of the pilot program on the 
acquisition of military purpose nondevelopmental items to 
additional classes of contractors and apply the standards of 
the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (10 U.S.C. 2304) to 
these contracts.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Improved auditing of contracts (sec. 893)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 878) 
that would authorize the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) 
to provide outside audit support to non-Defense Agencies upon 
certification that the backlog for incurred cost audits is less 
than 12 months of incurred cost inventory.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
the DCAA from providing outside audit support to non-Defense 
Agencies until DCAA certifies that the backlog for incurred 
costs is less than 18 months of incurred-cost inventory, not 
require the Secretary of Defense to use outside auditing staff 
to help address DCAA's audit backlog, and streamline reporting 
requirements.

Sense of Congress on evaluation method for procurement of audit or 
        audit readiness services (sec. 894)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 864) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to establish values and 
metrics for the procurement of audit or audit readiness 
services and review the offeror's past performance before using 
a lowest price, technically acceptable evaluation method for 
the procurement of such services.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment stating that before 
using the lowest price, technically acceptable evaluation 
method for the procurement of audit or audit readiness 
services, the Secretary of Defense should establish the values 
and metrics for evaluating companies offering audit services, 
including financial management and audit expertise and 
experience, personnel qualifications and certifications, past 
performance, technology, tools, and size.

Mitigating potential unfair competitive advantage of technical advisors 
        to acquisition programs (sec. 895)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 881) 
that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to issue guidance on 
identifying and addressing potential unfair competitive 
advantage of technical advisors to acquisition officials.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment to revise the 
guidance required under the provision.
      The conferees believe that the technical advisors 
described in the provision include contractors, federally 
funded research and development centers, university-affiliated 
research centers, non-profit entities, and federal laboratories 
that provide systems engineering and technical direction, 
participate in technical evaluations, support preparation of 
specifications or work statements, or otherwise provide 
technical advice to acquisition officials on the conduct of 
defense acquisition programs. The conferees further believe 
that ``potentially unfair competitive advantage'' includes 
unequal access to acquisition officials responsible for award 
decisions or allocation of resources, or to acquisition 
information relevant to award decisions or allocation of 
resources.
      In responding to this provision, the conferees expect the 
Secretary to review these definitions, as well as the efficacy 
of current conflict-of-interest policies, the use of non-
disclosure agreements, the application of appropriate 
regulations, and decisions to allocate resources through direct 
award of funds to intramural programs or sole-source task 
orders to entities that provide technical advice on defense 
programs versus open and competitive extramural solicitations. 
Based on the results of this review, the conferees expect the 
Secretary to review and revise guidance to clarify these issues 
if necessary.
      The conferees also expect the Secretary to develop 
metrics and processes for collecting and evaluating complaints 
and concerns relating to examples of the exploitation of unfair 
competitive advantage by technical advisors.

Survey on the costs of regulatory compliance (sec. 896)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 879) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a survey 
of defense contractors with the highest level of reimbursements 
for cost-type contracts and identify the cost to industry of 
regulatory compliance with government unique acquisition 
regulations and requirements that are not imposed on commercial 
item contracts.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Treatment of interagency and State and local purchases when the 
        Department of Defense acts as contract intermediary for the 
        General Services Administration (sec. 897)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 847) on the 
sense of Congress on the treatment of the procurement of fire 
hoses.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
830) that would clarify that the requirements under chapter 148 
of title 10, United States Code would not apply to a contract 
executed by the Department of Defense where the Department is 
acting as an intermediary for the General Services 
Administration (GSA) for purchase of products by other federal 
agencies or state and local governments.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the chapter 148 process of 
obtaining a domestic non-availability determination of certain 
products, such as fire hoses, could have a significant effect 
on the ability of Federal agencies to respond to natural 
disasters or other emergencies.

Competition for religious services contracts (sec. 898)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 829) 
that would ensure that non-profit organizations can compete for 
contracts for religious related services on a United States 
military installation.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Pilot program regarding risk-based contracting for smaller contract 
        actions under the Truth In Negotiations Act (sec. 899)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 823) 
that would amend the Truth in Negotiations Act (Public Law 87-
653; 10 U.S.C. section 2306a) to raise the threshold for the 
requirement to provide certified cost or pricing data in non-
price competitive procurements on non-commercial items from the 
current $750,000 to $5.0 million and require the Department of 
Defense (DOD) to establish a risk-based contracting approach, 
under which certified cost or pricing data would be required 
for a risk-based sample of contracts, to ensure that DOD is 
getting fair and reasonable prices for such contracts.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would establish 
a pilot program to test this authority.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

Sense of Congress on the desired tenets of the defense acquisition 
        system

      The House bill contained provisions (sec. 800 and sec. 
821) that express the sense of Congress that acquisition reform 
efforts and weapon system acquisitions require improvement.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note the concern that the incentives of the 
current acquisition system lead to too many defense 
acquisitions concurrently chasing finite dollars. The conferees 
are concerned that the Nation often endures weapons delivered 
late, at too high of a cost, with performance that falls short, 
and that are difficult and costly to maintain. Furthermore, the 
conventional acquisition process is not sufficiently agile to 
support warfighter demands.
      The conferees express the need for reform for national 
security reasons to maintain technological and military 
dominance. The conferees are concerned that the current process 
is so rigid and time-consuming that the Department is often 
unable to effectively tap into the innovation occurring in the 
commercial marketplace. The conferees note that commercial 
research and development (R&D) now represents 75 percent of the 
national total, and global R&D is now more than twice that of 
the United States. The conferees suggest that removing 
unnecessary legislative, regulatory, and cultural barriers to 
new commercial competitions is necessary to create better 
incentives for and increased access to innovation beyond the 
Department. The conferees believe these steps are critical for 
national security in the future, especially in areas such as 
cyber security, robotics, data analytics, miniaturization, and 
autonomy.
      The conferees are concerned that the Department of 
Defense currently lacks effective oversight over a contracted 
services portfolio that has grown in magnitude over the last 
decade. The military departments and defense agencies have 
failed to adopt leading private sector best practices in the 
acquisition and management of commercially available services 
and information technologies. Departmental leadership has 
limited insight into the services being acquired and even less 
awareness of the services that may be needed in the future.
      The conferees believe that the acquisition reform 
provisions in this bill are a first start in addressing these 
challenges but it will require all stakeholders in the 
acquisition system--the Department of Defense, Congress, and 
industry--to work together to achieve success. Success will be 
measured by the timely delivery of affordable and effective 
military equipment and services. The conferees will continue to 
work for an acquisition system that is more proactive, agile, 
transparent, and innovative.

Independent study of matters related to bid protests

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 803) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a 
contract, within 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
this Act, with an independent research entity that is a not-
for-profit entity or a federally funded research and 
development center with appropriate expertise and analytical 
capability to carry out a comprehensive study of factors 
leading to bid protests.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
880) that would require a report by the Government 
Accountability Office on bid protests.
      The conference agreement does not include either of these 
provisions.

Compliance with inventory of contracts for services

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 807) that 
would limit the expenditure of funds authorized for the 
operation of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Personnel and Readiness until certain conditions are met 
regarding the Department of Defense's compliance with the 
requirement for an inventory of contracts for services.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees continue to recognize the value of 
obtaining better visibility over the use of services contracts 
by defense components and agencies to better understand how 
contracted services are being used to support Department of 
Defense missions. The conferees note a distinction between 
services contracts which are measured in the same manner as 
staff augmentation contracts of contractor full-time 
equivalents and performance-based services contracts and other 
services contracts which rely on a high degree of embedded 
capital equipment and business process re-engineering. The 
conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to examine the 
approach the Department is taking to comply with section 2330a, 
United States Code, and determine whether it is or is not 
producing a product that enhances the oversight of service 
contracting activities and submit a report explaining the 
results of that examination to the congressional defense 
committees no later than March 1, 2016, including efforts to 
better manage contractor and civilian personnel costs within 
the Department. The conferees recognize the information 
technology aspects of the inventory present technical 
challenges and encourage the Secretary of Defense to 
investigate and pursue existing Department of Defense and 
service component information technology systems which could 
present a timely solution and provide data relevant to 
strategic workforce planning. To the extent that the Secretary 
identifies that the process and technology are not producing an 
oversight-enhancing product, the conferees expect the Secretary 
to propose an alternative method of inventory.

Requirement for acquisition skills assessment biennial strategic 
        workforce plan

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 814) that 
would amend section 115b of title 10, United States Code, which 
requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a biennial 
strategic workforce plan on critical skills and competencies of 
the civilian employee workforce of the Department of Defense, 
to include an additional assessment of new or expanded critical 
skills and competencies needed by the civilian employee 
workforce to address new acquisition process requirements 
established by law or policy.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Modification to requirements relating to determination of contract type 
        for major defense acquisition programs and major systems

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 824) that 
would amend section 2306 of title 10, United States Code, by 
adding a new subsection, and repealing the requirements in 
certain subsections of section 818 of the John Warner National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-
364), relating to the modification of Department of Defense 
regulations.
      The Senate amendment contained a related provision (sec. 
821) that would require the Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement to be revised to establish a preference 
for fixed-price contracts, including fixed-price incentive 
contracts, in the determination of contract type for 
development programs.
      The conference agreement does not include either 
provision.

Requirement that certain ship components be manufactured in the 
        national technology and industrial base

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 836) that 
would amend section 2534(a) of title 10, United States Code, 
and would require certain auxiliary ship components to be 
procured from a manufacturer in the national technology and 
industrial base.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Policy regarding solid rocket motors used in tactical missiles

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 837) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that every 
tactical missile program of the Department of Defense that uses 
solid propellant as the primary propulsion system shall have at 
least one rocket motor supplier within the national technology 
and industrial base and would allow the Secretary to waive this 
requirement in the case of compelling national security 
reasons.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees agree on the importance of sustaining 
rocket motor production options to ensure a healthy tactical 
missile industrial base.

FAR Council membership for Administrator of Small Business 
        Administration

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 838) that 
would amend section 1302 of title 41, United States Code, by 
adding the Administrator of the Small Business Administration 
to the Federal Acquisition Regulatory (FAR) Council.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees believe that the FAR Council should work 
closely with the Small Business Administration to ensure that 
consistent regulations are issued from both organizations, to 
the benefit of both Federal agencies and their small business 
contractors.

Limitations on reverse auctions

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 846) that 
would amend the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631 et seq.) to 
prohibit the use of reverse auctions for the purchase of 
construction services; goods purchased to protect Federal 
employees, members of the Armed Forces, or civilians from 
bodily harm; and goods or services awarded based on factors 
other than price and technical responsibility if the contract 
is awarded using a Small Business Act procurement authority. 
For all other reverse auctions conducted using a Small Business 
Act procurement authority, the provision required training of 
contracting officers, restricted the activities that could be 
undertaken by third-party agents, required honesty in price 
rankings, and required that revisions to offers be permitted 
throughout the course of the auction.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that similar language independent of 
the Small Business Act and applicable only to the Department of 
Defense was adopted as section 824 of the Carl Levin and Howard 
P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). Recognizing that two-
thirds of reverse auctions are conducted outside of the 
Department of Defense, the conferees see value in addressing 
the use of this procurement method in civilian agencies but 
believe it is premature to place additional restrictions upon 
the Department until section 824 of last year's authorization 
is implemented.

Extension of limitation on aggregate annual amount available for 
        contract services

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 863) that 
would extend the limitation on the aggregate annual amount 
available for contract services.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Strengthening program and project management performance by the 
        Department of Defense

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 867) that 
would require the Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget to develop a plan to strengthen program and project 
management performance for improving management of IT programs 
and projects.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
810) that would outline Department of Defense responsibilities 
under chapter 87 of title 10, United States Code for improving 
program and project management.
      The conference agreement does not include either 
provision.

Synchronization of defense acquisition curricula

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 868) that 
would require that the President of the Defense Acquisition 
University convene an annual review board to synchronize 
defense acquisition curricula across the Department of Defense.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that the Defense Acquisition 
University (DAU) plays an important role in enhancing the 
quality and innovative capacity of the defense acquisition 
workforce. DAU training and education will be critical to 
enable the workforce to better position DOD to access global 
and commercial technologies and services, as well as to put the 
tenets of acquisition reform into actual practice. The 
conferees urge DAU to work with other educational institutions 
within and outside DOD to leverage a wide array of available 
expertise and synchronize acquisition educational activities, 
best practices and curricula. Further, in order to enhance 
education and training of the acquisition workforce and support 
effective acquisition reform, the conferees direct DAU to 
engage with leading educational and research experts on 
procurement and acquisition issues from both within and outside 
the Federal Government, including through personal exchanges, 
joint studies and analyses, and other interactions.

Research and analysis of defense acquisition policy

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 869) that 
would amend section 1746(a) of title 10, United States Code to 
add examples of academic institutions that could be used for 
the research and analysis of defense acquisition policy issues.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Modifications to the justification and approval process for certain 
        sole-source contracts for small business concerns

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 871) that 
would repeal the requirement for the simplified justification 
and approval process established in section 811 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-
84; 123 Stat. 2405; 41 U.S.C. 3304 note).
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Annual report on foreign procurements

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 886) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report 
relating to specific foreign procurements by the Department of 
Defense that result from waivers to the Buy America Act.
      The House bill had no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees note that the Department's Report to 
Congress on Fiscal Year 2014 Purchases from Foreign Entities 
identified approximately $5.4 billion in spending on nearly 
23,000 purchases for which the restrictions of the Buy America 
Act are not applicable because they are for items that are 
manufactured and used outside the United States.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit 
to the appropriate congressional defense committees a report 
listing specific procurements by the Department of Defense in 
fiscal year 2016 of articles, materials, or supplies valued 
greater than $5.0 million, using the exception under section 
8302(a)(2)(A) of title 41, United States Code, relating to 
articles, materials, and supplies for use outside the United 
States. The conferees note that this report may be submitted as 
part of the report required under section 8305 of such title.

      Title IX--Department of Defense Organization and Management

                     Legislative Provisions Adopted

Update of statutory functions of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
        Staff relating to joint force development activities (sec. 901)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 903) that 
would amend section 153(a)(5), title 10, United States Code, by 
adding a new subsection that would require the Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff to advise the Secretary of Defense on 
development of joint command, control, communications and cyber 
capability, including integration and interoperability of such 
capability through requirements, integrated architectures, data 
standards and assessments.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
901).
      The Senate recedes.

Sense of Congress on the United States Marine Corps (sec. 902)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 904) that 
would express the sense of Congress that the United States 
Marine Corps, within the Department of the Navy, should remain 
the Nation's expeditionary crisis response force and that the 
Marine Corps should be organized, trained, and equipped in the 
manner and for such purposes specified in section 5063 of title 
10, United States Code.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1048).
      The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.

would redesignate the Department of the Navy as the Department 
of the Navy and Marine Corps.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Change of period for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff review of 
        the Unified Command Plan

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 902) that 
would amend section 161(b)(1) of title 10, United States Code, 
to change the period for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 
review of the Unified Command Plan from 2 years to 4 years.
      The Senate 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

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 902) 
that would amend sections 1781, 1781(a), 1781c, and 131 of 
title 10, United States Code, to reorganize and redesignate the 
Office of Community Support for Military Families with Special 
Needs and the Office of Family Policy into 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 bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Guidelines for conversion of functions performed by civilian or 
        contractor personnel to performance by military personnel

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 907) that 
would provide guidelines for the conversion of functions 
performed by civilian or contractor personnel to performance by 
military personnel.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees have included in the outcome for sec. 321 
of the House bill an additional reporting requirement related 
to the methodology for making cost comparisons between 
Department of Defense workforce sectors.

                      Title X--General Provisions

                     Subtitle A--Financial Matters

General transfer authority (sec. 1001)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1001) that 
would allow the Secretary of Defense to transfer up to $5.0 
billion of fiscal year 2016 funds authorized in division A of 
this Act to unforeseen higher priority needs.
      The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1001) that 
would allow the Secretary of Defense to transfer up to $4.5 
billion of fiscal year 2016 funds authorized in division A of 
this Act to unforeseen higher priority needs.
      The House recedes.

Accounting standards to value certain property, plant, and equipment 
        items (sec. 1002)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1003) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with the 
Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board to establish 
accounting standards for large and unordinary general property, 
plant, and equipment items.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The conference agreement includes this provision.

Report on auditable financial statements (sec. 1003)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1004) that 
would require the Department of Defense to develop a report 
ranking organizations according to their advancement in the 
achievement of auditable financial statements.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify 
the reporting requirement.
      The conferees note that 2015 marks 10 years implementing 
audit and financial management improvement efforts under the 
Department's Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) 
plan. The conferees are concerned that recent setbacks could 
affect the long term goals of the Department. For fiscal year 
2014, the Department significantly scaled back its effort to 
audit the one-year Statement of Budgetary Activity (SBA) 
instead of the multi-year Statement of Budgetary Resources 
(SBR) required by the 2014 statutory deadline. In 2015, the 
Department withdrew its clean opinion on the Marine Corps' 
fiscal year 2012 SBA. Despite substantial and unquantified 
resources being invested in IT systems, personnel, training, 
and consulting services over the last decade, progress remains 
limited.
      The Department's 2017 deadline to declare audit readiness 
for its full complement of financial statements is fast 
approaching. Well-known and well-documented material weaknesses 
that are supposed to be addressed under the FIAR plan remain in 
place. The conferees look forward to continued discussions with 
the Department on how these weaknesses will be resolved in time 
for the full audit of the Department's fiscal year 2018 
financial statements.
      Further, the conferees believe that the Department should 
better understand best practices of private and public sector 
organizations who have obtained and maintained clean audits, 
including many who are large, multinational corporations, deal 
with emergency operations, and work with classified materials 
and activities. The conferees expect that the implementation of 
some of these practices, especially the use of organizational 
incentives to drive change, development of milestones to 
measure progress towards auditability, and more strategic and 
rigorous business process re-engineering and IT modernization, 
will support DOD's efforts to obtain clean audits in a more 
effective and efficient manner.

Sense of Senate on sequestration (sec. 1004)

      The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1004) that 
stated sequestration is an inadequate budgeting tool to address 
the nation's deficits and debt and that relief must be 
accomplished for fiscal year 2016 and 2017. Furthermore relief 
should include equal defense and non-defense relief and be 
offset through changes in mandatory and discretionary 
categories, and revenues.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that states budget 
caps imposed by the Budget Control Act of 2011 must be modified 
or eliminated through a bipartisan legislative agreement.

Annual audit of financial statements of Department of Defense 
        components by independent external auditors (sec. 1005)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1002) 
that would require the Department of Defense Inspector General 
to fulfill its statutory audit responsibilities to perform 
financial statement audits for the military departments and 
other designated components of the Department by contracting 
with independent external auditors.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify 
the selection and reporting requirements.

                  Subtitle B--Counter-Drug Activities

Extension of authority to support unified counterdrug and 
        counterterrorism campaign in Colombia (sec. 1011)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1011) 
that would extend for 2 fiscal years the authority of the 
Secretary of Defense to provide assistance to support the 
unified counterdrug and counterterrorism campaign of the 
Government of Colombia (Section 1021 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Public Law 108-375)), 
as most recently amended by section 1011 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-
291).
      The House bill contained no similar provisions.
      The House recedes.

Extension and expansion of authority to provide additional support for 
        counter-drug activities of certain foreign governments (sec. 
        1012)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1011) that 
would extend, by 1 year, the authority to provide support for 
counterdrug activities of certain foreign governments 
originally authorized by subsection (a)(2) of section 1033 of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 
(Public Law 105-85), and most recently amended by section 1013 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
(Public Law 113-291).
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1012) 
that would amend section 1033 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (Public Law 105-85), as 
most recently amended by section 1013 of the Carl Levin and 
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). Specifically, the 
provision would extend the Department of Defense's (DOD) 
authority to provide additional support for counterdrug 
activities of certain foreign governments through fiscal year 
2017, as well as add Kenya, Tanzania, and Somalia as countries 
eligible to receive assistance under this authority.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would add the 
Governments of Kenya and Tanzania to the list of governments 
eligible to receive support under this authority as well as 
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to 
congressional defense committees on the Department's planned 
use of this authority in the future.
      The conferees believe that the growing nexus between 
terrorism and transnational organized crime in East Africa 
warrants increased attention by the Department of Defense. 
Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
develop and submit not later than December 31, 2015 a plan for 
building the capacity of the Government of Somalia to combat 
the threat posed by illicit trafficking.

Sense of the Congress on Central America (sec. 1013)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1012) that 
would express a series of findings and a statement of policy on

illicit trafficking, and transnational organized crime in the 
region.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express 
the Sense of Congress that the United States should, to the 
extent practicable, prioritize efforts to address the 
challenges to regional security in Central America.

                Subtitle C--Naval Vessels and Shipyards

Additional information supporting long-range plans for construction of 
        naval vessels (sec. 1021)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1024) 
that would require the Secretary of the Defense to provide 
additional information in the annual naval vessel construction 
plan required by section 231 of title 10, United States Code.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund (sec. 1022)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1051) that 
would amend section 1022 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) by expanding the transfer 
authority provided to the National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund 
from the Department of the Navy to the Department of Defense; 
providing authority to enter into economic order quantity 
contracts for ballistic missile submarines and other nuclear 
powered vessels; and providing incremental funding and 
facilities funding authority. This section further requires the 
Secretary of the Navy to submit a report on the Fund to the 
congressional defense committees by March 1, 2016, and annually 
through the year 2025.
      The Senate amendment contained a provision that would 
expand the transfer authority provided to the National Sea-
Based Deterrence Fund from the Department of the Navy to the 
Department of Defense (sec. 1022).
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand 
the Fund to include the authorization of incremental funding 
authority, economic order quantity contract authority, advance 
construction authority, and transfer authority from any 
Department of Defense appropriation. In addition, the Senate 
amendment would add the authorization to transfer unobligated 
fiscal year 2017 funds into the Fund.
      Because the Ohio-class replacement program is scheduled 
to carry 70 percent of our nation's strategic weapons and the 
fiscal investments will make this program one of the largest 
acquisition efforts in the Department of Defense, the conferees 
believe that the Secretary should have the authority to 
implement streamlined financial management and acquisition 
strategies for the program, including appropriate use of 
incremental funding and economic order quantity authority. The 
conferees believe that the National Sea-Based Deterrence Fund 
could provide the Secretary with that flexibility, while 
ensuring that Congress has the correct visibility into the 
program. To that end, the conferees expect that a budget 
request for the Fund would be accompanied by information 
sufficient for Congress to exercise adequate oversight of the 
Fund and urge the Secretary of Defense to develop a fiscal 
strategy that supports this strategic investment.
      To better assess the most efficient method of procuring 
the Ohio-class replacement program and providing the oversight 
necessary for this unique investment, the conferees direct the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees with the fiscal year 2017 budget request 
that includes the following elements:
            (1) The acquisition strategy to build Ohio-class 
        replacement submarines that will leverage the enhanced 
        procurement authorities provided in the Fund, including 
        allocation, facility, and vendor base considerations;
            (2) An identification of any additional authorities 
        the Secretary may need to make management of the Ohio-
        class replacement more efficient;
            (3) An assessment of the acquisition strategy 
        developed in paragraph (1) with a conventional 
        acquisition strategy to include a cost assessment and 
        overall impacts to the submarine industrial base;
            (4) A description of how funds would be requested 
        in and obligated from the National Sea-Based Deterrence 
        Fund, including what, if any, connection the Fund will 
        have with other appropriations accounts (e.g., 
        Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy);
            (5) An explanation of how financial management 
        accountability and transparency would be maintained 
        related to funds moving in to and out of the National 
        Sea-Based Deterrence Fund; and
            (6) Ohio-class replacement construction elements 
        that have been included in Research, Development, 
        Testing and Evaluation, Navy budget request, including 
        nuclear components and common missile compartment 
        construction efforts, listed by program element title 
        and number with requested funding.
      The conferees look forward to reviewing the Secretary's 
report, including options to better support an efficient 
acquisition strategy that could include coordinating with the 
Virginia-class submarine program, which will continue during 
the Ohio-class replacement submarine construction period. 
According to the Navy, it is likely that these programs will 
share some common components. The Navy may be able to 
coordinate component procurement across both submarine programs 
to achieve better efficiency and cost savings. Such 
coordination might be managed within the normal appropriations 
accounts, or could be facilitated by providing additional 
flexibility within the Fund.

Extension of authority for reimbursement of expenses for certain Navy 
        mess operations afloat (sec. 1023)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1022) that 
would extend the authority for reimbursement of expenses for 
certain Navy mess operations afloat authorized in section 1014 
of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417), as amended by section 
1021 of the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383), from September 30, 2015 
to September 30, 2020, and certain technical and clarifying 
amendments.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1023).
      The Senate recedes.

Availability of funds for retirement or inactivation of Ticonderoga 
        class cruisers or dock landing ships (sec. 1024)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1023) that 
would limit the obligation and expenditure of funds authorized 
to be appropriated or otherwise made available for fiscal year 
2016 for the retirement, inactivation, or storage of 
Ticonderoga-class cruisers and Whidbey Island-class amphibious 
ships. The provision would also require the modernization of 
two Ticonderoga-class cruisers to begin in fiscal year 2016 
only after sufficient materials are available to begin the 
modernization period. Finally, the modernization period would 
be limited to 2 years with the ability of the Secretary of the 
Navy to extend the period for another 6 months.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would only 
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 the plan required by section 1026 
of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-
291).
      The Navy is inducting two cruisers into modernization 
status in fiscal year 2015 and plans to induct two additional 
cruisers into this status in fiscal year 2016. However, the 
conferees understand the Navy has not programmed the manpower 
and operations funding for the remaining seven cruisers in the 
future years defense program (FYDP) beyond fiscal year 2016. 
The conferees also understand that the FYDP does not support 
the long-term plan for modernization of these cruisers and dock 
landing ships beyond fiscal year 2018.
      This is at odds with statements by Secretary of the Navy 
Ray Mabus that he is ``100-percent'' committed to ensuring the 
ships are modernized and returned back to sea and similar 
statements by other administration officials.
      The lack of fiscal support in the fiscal year 2016 FYDP 
and previous requests for the early retirement of some of these 
cruisers has led the conferees to question the administration's 
resolve to retain all of these cruisers through the end of 
their service lives. In order to demonstrate the 
administration's commitment to the plan, it is incumbent on the 
administration to close this gap in force structure statements 
and fiscal decisions. Continued conferee acceptance of the 
Navy's plan will be predicated on the administration's decision 
to fully program across the FYDP for manpower, readiness, and 
modernization for all cruisers and dock landing ships.

Limitation on the use of funds for removal of ballistic missile defense 
        capabilities from Ticonderoga class cruisers (sec. 1025)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1024) that 
would prohibit the removal of ballistic missile capabilities 
from any of the Ticonderoga-class cruisers until the Secretary 
of the Navy certifies to the congressional defense committees 
that the Navy has obtained the ballistic missile capabilities 
required by the most recent Navy Force Structure Assessment or 
determined to upgrade such cruisers with an equal or improved 
ballistic missile defense capability.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that adds the 
following third option to the Secretary of the Navy's 
certification--obtaining at least 40 large surface combatants 
with ballistic missile defense capability.

Independent assessment of United States Combat Logistic Force 
        requirements (sec. 1026)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 143) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into an 
agreement with a federally funded research and development 
center to conduct an assessment of the anticipated future 
demands of the combat logistics force ships of the Navy and the 
challenges these ships may face when conducting and supporting 
future naval operations in contested maritime environments. 
This section would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
submit the assessment to the congressional defense committees 
by April 1, 2016.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

                      Subtitle D--Counterterrorism

1035) that would prohibit 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 Yemen until December 31, 2016.
      The House recedes with an amendment to terminate the 
prohibition on December 31, 2016 and clarify the list of 
countries to which a detainee from Guantanamo cannot be 
transferred.

Reenactment and modification of certain prior requirements for

for in another section of this title.
      The House recedes with an amendment clarifying the scope 
of the certification.

Comprehensive detention strategy (sec. 1035)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1032) 
that would prohibit the use of funds provided to the Department 
of Defense for the transfer or release of individuals detained 
at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to or 
within the United States. This provision would allow transfers 
to the United States for trial or continued detention pursuant 
to the Authorization for the Use of Military Force (Public Law 
107-40) after the Secretary of Defense submits to the 
appropriate committees a plan for the disposition of all 
detainees held at Guantanamo, and Congress passes a joint 
resolution approving that plan.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would require a 
comprehensive detention strategy to be provided to the 
congressional defense committees setting forth the details of 
such a detention strategy for current and future individuals 
captured and held pursuant to the Authorization for Use of 
Military Force pending the end of hostilities. The conferees 
expect that discussion to include an explanation of the 
Department's plan for the disposition of all detainees held at 
Guantanamo, on a case-by-case basis, and the costs associated 
with each element of that plan.

Prohibition on use of funds for realignment of forces or closure of 
        United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (sec. 1036)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1060) that

States, in any armed conflict.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would make the 
limitation on interrogation techniques inapplicable to law 
enforcement and requires an update to the Army Field Manual no 
sooner than three years after the date of enactment. The 
conferees recognize that law enforcement personnel may continue 
to use authorized non-coercive techniques of interrogation, and 
that Army Field Manual 2-22.3 is designed to reflect best 
practices for interrogation to elicit reliable statements.

         Subtitle E--Miscellaneous Authorities and Limitations

Department of Defense excess property program (sec. 1051)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1052) that 
would make changes to excess defense article donations 
authorized under section 2576a of title 10, United States Code. 
Specifically, the provision would require the establishment of 
a public website containing information on certain transfers 
made under the program, establish specific criteria for State 
program managers to be met before the Defense Logistics Agency 
may transfer certain types of equipment, and mandate several 
reviews of program objectives and efficacy, to include training 
recommendations, by a federally funded research and development 
center, the Comptroller General of the United States, and the 
Department of Defense.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment to include 
additional requirements on transfer of controlled property, a 
study on controlled property transfers, the incidence of 
controlled property that is lost or unaccounted for, and 
procedures governing the return of controlled property to the 
Department of Defense.

Sale or donation of excess personal property for border security 
        activities (sec. 1052)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1060b) that

designated in Department of Defense Instruction 4160.28, Volume 
2, or any succeeding instruction, transferred to the Department 
of Homeland Security through the ``1033 program'' as amended by 
this section remains the property of the Department of Defense, 
and this section does not authorize the Department of Homeland 
Security to transfer controlled DOD equipment to any non-
federal entity. The conferees expect the Department of Defense 
and the Department of Homeland Security to use memoranda of 
agreement similar to those used for the transfer of equipment 
to law enforcement agencies to state the conditions of transfer 
and compliance, including that non-compliance requires the 
return of all equipment to DOD.

Management of military technicians (sec. 1053)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1046) 
that would convert not less than 20 percent of the general 
administration, clerical, financial, and office service 
occupation positions identified in the report of the Secretary 
of Defense under section 519 of the Ike Skelton National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 112-
81; 125 Stat. 1397) from military technician (dual status) 
positions to positions filled by individuals who are employed 
under section 3103 of title 5, United States Code, by no later

      The Senate recedes.

Authority to provide training and support to personnel of foreign 
        ministries of defense (sec. 1055)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (1082) that 
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to provide training to 
personnel of foreign ministries of defense (or ministries with 
security force oversight), or regional organizations with 
security missions for the purpose of: (1) enhancing civilian 
oversight of foreign security forces; (2) establishing 
responsible defense governance and internal controls in order 
to help build effective, transparent, and accountable defense 
institutions; (3) assessing organizational weaknesses and 
establishing a roadmap for addressing shortfalls; and (4) 
enhancing ministerial, general or joint staff, service level 
core competencies such as personnel and readiness, acquisition 
and logistics, strategy and policy, and financial management.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset the 
authority on December 31, 2017.

        1056)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1055) that 
would authorize the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot 
program or multiple pilot programs related to information and 
strategic communications capabilities to support the geographic 
and functional combatant commanders.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Secretary of Defense to carry out a series of technology 
demonstrations, subject to the availability of funds for such 
purpose or to a prior approval reprogramming, related to 
information operations and information engagement to support 
the geographic and functional combatant commanders, with 
associated notification requirements.

Prohibition on the use of funds for the retirement of helicopter sea 
        combat squadron 84 and 85 aircraft (sec. 1057)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1056) that

prepare to retire, transfer or place in stowage any aircraft in 
Helicopter Sea Squadrons 84 and 85 until the Secretary of the 
Navy certifies to Congress that the Navy has conducted a cost-
benefit analysis, identified a replacement capability and 
deployed the capability.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
      The conferees expect the directed cost-benefit analysis 
to include any cost-sharing arrangements between the combatant 
commanders, including U.S. Special Operations Command, and the 
Navy, as well as a long term plan for recapitalization of the

personnel landmines (APL) until the Secretary of Defense 
provides a comprehensive study on the tactical and operational 
impacts of a ban on APL, a strategy for replacing current APL 
systems that are compliant with current DOD policy, and a 
certification that alternative systems will not endanger 
members of the Armed Forces. The provision provides an 
exception for landmines certified as unsafe by the Secretary.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove 
the required certification and would link the limitation on the 
obligation or expenditure of funds for the destruction of anti-
personnel landmine munitions, with the exception included in 
the House provision, to the delivery of a new report to be 
delivered to Congress within 180 days after the enactment of 
this Act.
      The conferees understand the Secretary of Defense is 
conducting an Analysis of Alternatives (AOA) on Area Denial 
Capability Development to include next generation anti-
personnel landmines, and that the AOA is expected to be 
complete in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. The 
conferees expect this AOA to inform the report required in this 
provision. The conferees further direct the Secretary of 
Defense to provide the AOA to the congressional defense 
committees on its completion.

enactment of this Act, a report containing summaries of the 
defense planning guidance and contingency planning guidance 
developed in accordance with the requirements of such section, 
and to include those summaries in the annual budget documents 
submitted to Congress. Additionally, this section would provide 
a limitation on the obligation or expenditure of 25 percent of 
the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act for 
Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide, for the Office of the 
Secretary of Defense, until 15 days after the date on which the 
Secretary of Defense submits the first report required by this 
section.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove 
the funding limitation for the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense.

Expedited meetings of the National Commission on the Future of the Army 
        (sec. 1061)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1069) that 
would amend section 1702(f) of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291: 128 Stat. 3665). The section

        United States (sec. 1062)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1062) that 
would amend section 3255(a)(2) of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2455), to provide the Comptroller 
General of the United States, in any odd-numbered year, 150 
days to submit the report required by such section. This 
provision would also amend section 3134 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) to 
eliminate a requirement for the Comptroller General to conduct 
a final review of all projects carried out by the Department of 
Energy's Office of Environmental Management using American 
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5) funds.
      The Senate amendment contained two similar provisions 
(sec. 3120 and 3121) that would extend the Government 
Accountability Office's annual reporting deadline for reviewing 
the budget of the National Nuclear Security Administration 
weapons program from 90 days to 150 days in odd-numbered years 
when NNSA is required to submit a detailed Stockpile 
Stewardship Management Plan (SSMP). Additionally, section 3121 
would repeal phase three of section 3134 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-
84) related to defense environmental cleanup projects, as the 
Government Accountability Office has reported on all phases of

would require the Secretary of Defense to contract with an 
independent research entity to carry out a study of the 
Department of Defense role in, and process for, the formulation 
of national security strategy. This study would include several 
case studies on the role of the Department of Defense in the 
formulation of previous national security strategies and issues 
related to the formulation process throughout the history of 
the United States and a complete review and analysis of the 
current national security strategy formulation process as it 
relates to the Department of Defense.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would also 
require the report to include recommendations for the executive 
and legislative branches on the best practices for enabling the 
Department of Defense to formulate long-term strategy. The 
conferees believe the Secretary of Defense should continue to 
make every effort to recruit, cultivate, and further strategic 
thinking within the Department.

Report on the status of detection, identification, and disablement 
        capabilities related to remotely piloted aircraft (sec. 1065)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1067) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit, not later 
than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, a report 
to the congressional defense committees addressing the

later than February 1, 2016, a report to the congressional 
defense committees addressing the immediate and critical 
training and operational needs of the remotely piloted aircraft 
community.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Studies of fleet platform architectures for the Navy (sec. 1067)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1021) 
that would direct the Secretary of Defense to commission three 
studies to be submitted to the congressional defense committees 
in unclassified, and to the extent necessary, in classified 
versions to recommend potential future fleet architectures. 
These studies would provide competing visions and alternatives 
for future fleet architectures. One study would be performed by 
the Department of the Navy, with input from the Naval Surface 
Warfare Center Dahlgren Division. The second study would be 
performed by a federally funded research and development 
center. The third study would be conducted by a qualified 
independent, non-governmental institute, as selected by the 
Secretary of Defense.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the 
required submission date of the reports to April 1, 2016.
      The conferees note that the majority of the total 
ownership costs for Navy surface ships, almost 70 percent, is 
comprised of operating and support costs incurred over the life 
of a ship. Personnel costs are the largest contributor to 
operating and support costs incurred over a ship's life cycle. 
As such, transitioning from the personnel- and workload-
intensive ships of the past to optimally crewed ships with 
reduced workloads has potential to free up resources for the 
Navy to use in recapitalizing the fleet. However, previous 
studies have found that reduced and optimal manning initiatives 
were implemented without complete analysis and may have had 
detrimental effects on crew training and the material condition 
of some legacy class ships. In addition, reductions in crew 
size are frequently offset by increases in shore support and 
contractor personnel to address shipboard workload.
      The Navy's newest surface ship classes, the Ford-class 
aircraft carrier, the Littoral Combat Ship and the Zumwalt-
class destroyer, have been designed to leverage technology and 
optimal manning concepts to reduce the total crew sizes aboard 
these ships, but the impact of these efforts on reducing total 
ownership costs have not been fully demonstrated. Therefore, 
the conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United 
States to prepare a report to the congressional defense 
committees by July 1, 2016 as to the following elements:
            1. To what extent has the Navy implemented reduced 
        manning initiatives in the surface fleet?
            2. To what extent has the Navy identified total 
        manpower requirements, including both shipboard and 
        shore-based, to support optimally manned ships over 
        their life cycle?
            3. To what extent have manning reductions on Navy 
        surface ships resulted in reductions to total ownership 
        costs and to what extent has the Navy realized its 
        projected manpower reductions and cost savings?
            4. How have reduced manning initiatives impacted 
        the Navy's plans to operate and support ship classes in 
        the areas of personnel, training, and maintenance 
        (e.g., training qualification times, contractor support 
        for shipboard maintenance, shipboard system 
        casualties)?
            5. To what extent does the Navy rely on 
        technological innovations and design features to enable 
        manning reductions in new ship construction, and to 
        what extent have these reductions been realized after 
        the ships have entered service?

Report on strategy to protect United States national security interests 
        in the Arctic region (sec. 1068)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1043) 
that would direct the Secretary of Defense to submit not later 
than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act a report

of United States national security interests in the Arctic 
region.

that would require the Comptroller General of the United States 
to provide a briefing 270 days after the enactment of this Act 
and a report not later than 1 year after the date of enactment 
of this Act on the administration and oversight Department of 
Veterans Affairs of contracts for the design and construction 
of major medical facility projects, as defined in section 
8104(a)(3)(A) of title 38, United States Code.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Submittal to Congress of munitions assessments (sec. 1070)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1063) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to provide the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
Representatives not later than March 1, 2016, and each year 
thereafter, the most current Department of Defense Munitions 
and Munitions Sufficiency Assessments, as defined in Department 
of Defense Instruction 3000.04. The provision would also 
require the Department of Defense to provide the committees the 
most recently approved Joint Requirements Oversight Council 
memo resulting from the annual Munitions Requirements Process.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset the 
requirement to submit reports and assessments in the provision 
2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act.

Potential role for United States ground forces in the Pacific theater 
        (sec. 1071)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1064) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff to conduct a comprehensive operational 
assessment of a potential future role for U.S. ground forces in 
the island chains of the western Pacific in creating anti-
access/area denial (A2/AD) capabilities in cooperation with 
host nations to deter and defeat aggression in the region.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with amendments.
      The conferees direct the Secretary and the Chairman to 
conduct the assessment required by subsection (a) using 
operations research methods and wargaming, in addition to 
historical analysis of the use of ground forces by the United 
States and Japan in the Pacific theater during World War II, 
technical analysis, analysis of force structure impacts, and 
any other analysis they deem appropriate. Further, in making 
this assessment, the Secretary should consider the potential 
geopolitical impact on the United States posture in the Pacific 
theater associated with a strategy of long-term engagement by 
United States ground forces.
      The conferees also direct the Secretary and the Chairman 
to confer with U.S. Pacific Command; the Joint Requirements and 
Analysis Division and the wargaming resources of the 
Warfighting Analysis Division of the Force Structure, 
Resources, and Assessment Directorate of the Joint Staff, 
augmented as necessary and appropriate from the war colleges of 
the military departments; the Office of Net Assessment; any 
appropriate federally funded research and development centers 
(FFRDCs); and any other organizations or divisions as they deem 
appropriate.
      Additionally, the conferees note that the term ``ground 
forces'' in this section is inclusive of all U.S. military 
services, including both the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps.

      The Senate amendment contained an identical provision 
(sec. 903).
      The conference agreement includes this provision.
      The conferees are aware that the Ocean Research Advisory 
Panel plays an important role in setting the civilian agenda

that would mandate the implementation of reforms in the 
personnel security clearance process, insider threat detection 
and prevention, and physical security in the Department of 
Defense (DOD) and elsewhere in the Federal Government.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with technical and clarifying 
amendments.
      The provision would:
            (1) Require the Secretary of Defense to develop a 
        plan to implement Continuous Evaluation (``CE'') for 
        Department of Defense employees to reduce critical gaps 
        in background investigations; to develop and implement 
        an Insider Threat strategy detailing the Department's 
        plan to provide a centralized capability that can 
        quickly analyze the results of automated records checks 
        and reports of behavior of concern and recommend action 
        as appropriate; to centralize the programmatic 
        authority of such activities under one official (the 
        Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence); to 
        provide resources for the expedited deployment of 
        identity management systems for access to DOD 
        facilities which was a critical gap identified in the 
        aftermath of the Fort Hood and Washington Navy Yard 
        shootings; and to centralize control of requests for 
        security clearances from the Office of Personnel 
        Management (OPM) to achieve efficiencies, as well as 
        other key recommendations resulting from the study by 
        the Director of Cost Analysis and Program Evaluation 
        mandated by section 907 of the National Defense 
        Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014.
            (2) Require the Secretary of Defense to develop 
        standards for physical and logical access to secured 
        facilities and information systems, and requires the 
        Secretary, in coordination with the Office of 
        Management and Budget (OMB), the Chair of the 
        Performance Accountability Council (PAC), and the 
        Administrator of the Government Services 
        Administration, to develop a capability to share and 
        apply electronic identity information across the 
        government.
            (3) Require OMB to formalize the Security, 
        Suitability and Credentialing Line of Business to 
        ensure adequate oversight and efficient investments are 
        made across the enterprise.
            (4) Require the PAC Chair to develop a plan to 
        ensure reciprocity management systems function 
        effectively and securely. The intent is also for 
        agencies to formulate a plan to address how an 
        automated and continuous background check for national 
        security personnel will travel with that individual as 
        long as they hold a clearance, regardless of changes in 
        employer and program or contract support.
            (5) Require the PAC Chair, along with the Security 
        and Suitability Executive Agents and the Secretary of 
        Defense, to jointly develop a plan to ensure 
        implementation of uniform self-reporting requirements 
        for all personnel who hold a clearance, including 
        contractors. The provision mandates that reported 
        information be shared with those who have a need to 
        know, to ensure that individuals with derogatory 
        information are not allowed to move around the 
        government without the negative information being 
        known.
      The second part of the provision would:
            (1) Clarify and update the agencies covered under 
        section 9101. This section has not been updated since 
        2000--before the creation of the Department of Homeland 
        Security and the Office of the Director of National 
        Intelligence. This revision also includes agencies that 
        are delegated authority by the Security and Suitability 
        Executive Agents and expands the ``covered agency'' 
        definition to explicitly include contractor background 
        investigators working on behalf of covered agencies.
            (2) Clarify and update the applicable purposes of 
        investigation to expressly include basic suitability or 
        fitness assessments, credentialing under Homeland 
        Security Presidential Directive 12, Transportation 
        Security Administration Security Threat Assessment 
        Programs, and Federal Aviation Administration checks 
        required by Federal Statute.
            (3) Permit investigative agencies to conduct both 
        biometric (fingerprint) and biographic checks for 
        criminal history records information, as appropriate. 
        The investigative agencies are to determine what is 
        appropriate. Nothing under this section prohibits the 
        Federal Bureau of Investigation from requiring a 
        request for criminal history record information.
            (4) Amend section 9101 to indicate that when more 
        than one automated system can provide the same 
        information, the most cost-effective system to the 
        Federal Government shall be used.
            (5) Require that the Department of State, Bureau of 
        Consular Affairs, American Citizen Services (ACS), 
        release information about in individual's interaction 
        with law enforcement or intelligence organizations 
        abroad if that individual has contacted ACS for 
        assistance after they have been arrested or has been in 
        contact with intelligence agencies of a foreign country 
        while abroad.
            (6) Require contractors who conduct background 
        investigations on behalf of a covered agency to comply 
        with necessary security requirements when accessing an 
        automated information delivery system to request 
        criminal history record information.
            (7) Clarify Title 5 U.S.C. section 7512 to 
        strengthen the Federal Government's ability to take 
        action against individuals who falsify background 
        investigation information.
            (8) Require an annual report from the PAC to 
        describe and analyze the extent and effectiveness of 
        federal, state, and local systems for sharing criminal 
        history record information; analyze the extent and 
        effectiveness of education programs regarding criminal 
        history record information sharing; provide updates on 
        the implementation of best practices for sharing 
        criminal history record information, including ongoing 
        limitations experienced by investigators; and provide 
        descriptions of other limitations to investigators and 
        State and local law enforcement agencies.
            (9) Request a Government Accountability Office 
        report summarizing the major characteristics of federal 
        critical infrastructure protection access controls, as 
        well as background check and credentialing standards 
        for the protection of critical infrastructure and key 
        resources.

establishes a pilot program limited to .45 caliber handguns and 
restricts the amount of handguns that can be transferred to the 
CMP to no more than 10,000 units annually. Additionally, it 
requires the CMP to provide a report to Congress after the 
conclusion of the pilot program, obtain a federal firearm 
license to conduct any and all handgun sales, and adhere to all 
local, state, and federal laws in respect to handgun sales.

congressional defense committees within 1 year of enactment of 
this Act as to current and future mine countermeasure force 
structure based on current mine countermeasure capabilities, 
including an assessment as to whether certain decommissioned 
ships should be retained in reserve operating status.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require,

        evacuations of United States embassies and consulates involving 
        the use of United States Armed Forces (sec. 1091)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1090) that

manner and location from which the Department of State will 
continue to conduct the duties and responsibilities of the

Technology, and Logistics to ensure that Department of Defense 
Instruction 5000.02 and other applicable guidance receive full 
consideration during preliminary design review for strategic 
materials requirements over the life cycle of the product.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

Authority to transfer funds to the National Nuclear Security 
        Administration to sustain nuclear weapons modernization and 
        Naval Reactors

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1002) that 
would provide the Secretary of Defense the authority to 
transfer up to $150.0 million to the nuclear weapons and naval 
reactor programs of the National Nuclear Security

Services and the Department of Defense have reached an 
agreement regarding documents relating to the transfer of 
individuals detained at Guantanamo to Qatar.

        helicopters as counting against number transferable under 
        exception to limitation on transfer of Army National Guard 
        helicopters

        military, civilian, and contractor personnel to accomplish the 
        National Defense Strategy

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1047) 
that expressed the sense of Congress that the Secretary of 
Defense should consider the full range of Department of Defense 
manpower available worldwide in making decisions on the proper 
mix of military, civilian, and contractor personnel to 
accomplish the National Defense Strategy.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that that effective June 9, 2015 the 
Department of Defense (DOD) policy on space-available travel 
for dependents of deployed members was updated to authorize 
dependents of military members deployed for thirty or more 
consecutive days to travel space-available on DOD aircraft.

Limitation on availability of funds for modifying command and control 
        of United States Pacific Fleet

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1058) that 
would limit the availability of fiscal year 2016 funds to 
modify command and control relationships to give Fleet Forces

assigned to the Pacific Fleet.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Prohibition on closure of United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, 
        Cuba

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1059) that 
prohibited the President from closing or abandoning the United 
States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and required that 
the obligations of the United States under Article III of the 
Treaty Between the United States and Cuba signed on May 29, 
1934 are met.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Civilian Aviation Asset Military Partnership Pilot Program

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1060a) that 
would establish a pilot program that would grant authority to 
the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Federal 
Aviation Administration. The aim of the Civilian Aviation Asset

infrastructure or tower improvements and repairs at up to three 
eligible airports that support military and civilian operations 
per fiscal year.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Limitation on use of funds to deactivate the 440th Airlift Wing

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1060c) that 
would limit the availability of funds authorized to be 
appropriated for the deactivation of the 440th Airlift Wing 
until the Secretary of Defense certified the deactivation of 
the wing would not affect the military readiness of the 
airborne and special operations units stationed at Fort Bragg, 
North Carolina.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
136).
      The House recedes.
      The conferees agree to include the Senate provision 
elsewhere in this Act because it would require sufficient 
certification by the Secretaries and Chiefs of Staff of the 
Army and the Air Force as to the military readiness of Army 
airborne and special operations units regarding support from 
Air Force airlift operations.

      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the 
Secretary of Transportation, to submit to the Committee on 
Armed Services, the Committee on Homeland Security and 
Government Affairs, and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and 
Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Armed 
Services, the Committee on Homeland Security, and the Committee 
on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of

        United States that support both military and civilian 
        air operations; and
            (4) A review of the existing agreements and 
        authorities between the Commander of the United States 
        Northern Command and the Administrator of the Federal 
        Aviation Administration that allow for consultation on 
        decisions that impact the capabilities of airfields in 
        the United States that support both military and 
        civilian air operations.
      The report shall be submitted in unclassified form, but 
may include a classified annex.

Report on potential threats to members of the Armed Forces of United 
        States Naval Forces Central Command and United States Fifth 
        Fleet in Bahrain

      The House bill contained a provision (Sec. 1066) that 
would require a report on potential threats to members of the 
Armed Forces of the United States Naval Forces Central Command 
and the United States Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide 
a report to the Armed Services Committees of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate, not later than 120 days after 
the date of enactment of this Act, on threats posed to 
Department of Defense personnel and operations associated with 
United States military installations in Bahrain. The report 
should, at a minimum, include an assessment of the current 
security situation in Bahrain, the safety and security of 
Department of Defense personnel and dependents, and appropriate 
measures to mitigate the threat to U.S. operations and 
personnel including potential alternative facilities should 
U.S. personnel require temporary relocation.

Conflict of interest certification for investigations relating to 
        whistleblower retaliation

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1088) 
that would require each investigator involved in a covered 
investigation to submit to the Inspector General of the 
Department of Defense or the Inspector General of the military 
department, as applicable, a certification that there was no 
conflict of interest between the investigator, any witness 
involved in the covered investigation, and the covered employee 
or member of the Armed Forces, as applicable, during the 
conduct of the covered investigation.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.
      The conferees expect that the Department of Defense and 
the military services will establish uniform procedures to 
ensure there are no conflicts of interest for persons 
investigating whistleblower complaints.

Determination and disclosure of transportation costs incurred by 
        Secretary of Defense for congressional trips outside the United 
        States

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1091) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to determine the cost of 
transportation provided in the case of a trip taken by a 
Member, officer, or employee of the Senate or the House of 
Representatives in carrying out official duties outside the 
United States and to report that cost not later than 10 days 
after completion of the trip to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate or the House of Representatives, and to 
make the information available on the Secretary's official 
public website until the expiration of the 4 year period which 
begins on the final day of the trip involved.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees support public disclosure of official 
travel by Members, officers, and employees of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives. To this end, the conferees note 
that section 1754(b) of title 22, United States Code, contains 
reporting and disclosure requirements for congressional travel 
outside the United States, including a requirement for reports 
to be open to public inspection and published in the 
Congressional Record. The conferees recognize that there are 
circumstances under which transportation provided by the 
Department of Defense best meets the needs of congressional 
delegations, ranging from protecting the safety and security of 
the delegations, expediency, and accessing destinations that 
have little or no commercial air service. The conferees further 
note that the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives each maintain policies and 
processes to provide further oversight of travel requests by 
members and employees of the committees.

Observance of Veterans Day

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1095) that 
would amend chapter 1 of title 36, United States Code, to add a 
new section that would require the President to issue a 
proclamation each year calling on the people of the United 
States to observe 2 minutes of silence on Veterans Day in honor 
of the service and sacrifice of veterans throughout the history 
of the Nation.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Business case analysis of decision to maintain C-130J aircraft at 
        Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1096) that 
would require the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct, not 
later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, a 
business case analysis of the decision to maintain 10 C-130J 
aircraft at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees recognize that the report provided to the 
committees by the Secretary of the Air Force in April 2015 in 
response to as required by section 138 of the Carl Levin and 
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), included information 
on the business case for maintaining 10 C-130J aircraft at 
Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi.

Sense of Congress regarding cyber resiliency of National Guard networks 
        and communications systems

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1097) that 
would express a sense of Congress that the National Guard 
personnel need to have situational awareness and reliable 
communications in the event of an emergency, terrorist attack, 
or natural or man-made disaster, and that the current 
communications and networking systems for the National Guard, 
including commercial wireless solutions, are interoperable with 
the systems of civilian first responders.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note the importance of National Guard 
personnel having robust situational awareness and reliable 
communications in the event of a natural or man-made disaster 
that are interoperable with the systems of civilian first 
responders. In disaster situations, the National Guard serves 
as a critical bridge linking military and civilian response 
capabilities, and thus has the requirement to maintain a broad 
range of communications equipment. The conferees encourage the 
National Guard to constantly explore ways to improve and expand 
its communications and networking capabilities to provide for 
enhanced performance and resilience in the face of cyber 
attacks or disruptions, as well as other instances of 
degradation.

                  Title XI--Civilian Personnel Matters

                     Legislative Provisions Adopted

Procedures for reduction in force of Department of Defense civilian 
        personnel (sec. 1101)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 906) that 
would express the sense of the Congress that the Secretary of 
Defense should proceed with the collaborative work with 
employee representatives on the ``New Beginnings'' performance 
management and workforce incentive system and begin 
implementation of the new system at the earliest possible date.
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1103) 
that would provide the Secretary of Defense with the authority 
to establish procedures to provide that, in implementing any 
reduction in force for civilian positions in the Department of 
Defense in the competitive service or the excepted service, the 
determination of which employees shall be separated from 
employment in the Department of Defense shall be made primarily 
on the basis of performance.
      The agreement includes the Senate provision with an 
amendment that would express the sense of the Congress 
contained in the House provision.

One-year extension of temporary authority to grant allowances, 
        benefits, and gratuities to civilian personnel on official duty 
        in a combat zone (sec. 1102)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1101) that 
would extend by 1 year the discretionary authority of the head 
of a federal agency to provide allowances, benefits, and 
gratuities comparable to those provided to members of the 
Foreign Service to an agency's civilian employees on official 
duty in a combat zone.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1107).
      The Senate recedes.

Extension of rate of overtime pay for Department of the Navy employees 
        performing work aboard or dockside in support of the nuclear-
        powered aircraft carrier forward deployed in Japan (sec. 1103)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1103) that 
would amend section 5542(a)(6)(B) of title 5, United States 
Code, to extend for 1 year the authority for a civilian 
employee of the Department of the Navy who is assigned to 
temporary duty to perform work aboard, or dockside in direct 
support of, the nuclear aircraft carrier that is forward 
deployed in Japan to receive overtime pay.
      The Senate amendment contained an identical provision 
(sec. 1108).
      The agreement includes this provision.

Modification to temporary authorities for certain positions at 
        Department of Defense research and engineering facilities (sec. 
        1104)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1104) that 
would modify section 1107 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) to allow for the 
noncompetitive conversion of students that have graduated from 
an applicable institution of higher learning to a permanent 
appointee. In addition, the House provision would change the 
percentages of the work force that would be eligible for 
certain direct hiring authorities.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1109) that would change the percentage of the work force that 
would be eligible for bachelor's degree holder direct hiring 
authority.
      The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

Required probationary period for new employees of the Department of 
        Defense (sec. 1105)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1101) 
that would set the required probationary period for new 
employees of the Department of Defense at 2 years. The 
provision would also give discretionary authority to the 
service secretary concerned to extend a probationary period of 
a new employee of the Department of Defense.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The agreement contains the Senate provision with a 
technical amendment.
      In extending the probationary period for new employees of 
the Department of Defense (DOD), the conferees expect the 
Secretary of Defense to ensure that supervisors optimize the 
additional probationary time by educating supervisors on the 
importance of tracking when an individual's probationary period 
is ending and directing the supervisor to make an affirmative 
decision or otherwise take appropriate action. The Secretary 
should take steps to ensure DOD supervisors are aware of the 
range of tools and guidance available through the Office of 
Personnel Management, including on-line and in-person training 
and guidebooks. The conferees note that the probationary period 
extension will be beneficial only if an agency has effective 
performance management practices in place and uses the extra 
time for the purpose intended. The conferees expect the 
Secretary of Defense to assess the adequacy of leadership 
training provided to supervisors in DOD components and Defense 
agencies in order to ensure supervisors obtain the skills 
needed to effectively conduct performance management 
responsibilities.

Delay of periodic step increase for civilian employees of the 
        Department of Defense based upon unacceptable performance (sec. 
        1106)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1102) 
that would provide the Secretary of Defense with the authority 
to require satisfactory performance by civilian employees in 
order to qualify for periodic step increases based on that 
service.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

United States Cyber Command workforce (sec. 1107)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1104) 
that would provide enhanced hiring and retention authorities to 
the Secretary of Defense for civilians on the staff of the 
United States Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) and the elements of the 
CYBERCOM components of the Armed Forces. These enhanced 
authorities are modeled after the personnel authorities in 
title 10 provided for the staff of the intelligence components 
of the Department of Defense. These authorities are also 
similar to those that Congress provided in 2014 for the cyber 
workforce at the Department of Homeland Security. The provision 
also would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a plan 
to Congress on implementation of these authorities.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with technical and clarifying 
amendments, including an amendment that would delay the 
effective date of the authority granted under this section 
until 30 days after receipt of an implementation plan submitted 
by the Secretary of Defense to the congressional defense 
committees.

One-year extension of authority to waive annual limitation on premium 
        pay and aggregate limitation on pay for Federal civilian 
        employees working overseas (sec. 1108)

      The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1105) that 
would authorize the head of an executive agency to waive 
limitation on the aggregate of basic and premium pay payable 
through calendar year 2016 to an employee who performs work in 
an overseas location that is in the area of responsibility of 
the Commander, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), or a location 
that was formerly in the CENTCOM but has been moved to an area 
of responsibility of the Commander, U.S. Africa Command, in 
support of a contingency operation or an operation in response 
to a declared emergency. The amount payable may not exceed the 
total annual compensation payable to the Vice President under 
section 104 of title 3, United States Code.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Pilot program on dynamic shaping of the workforce to improve the 
        technical skills and expertise at certain Department of Defense 
        laboratories (sec. 1109)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1111) 
that would authorize Department of Defense laboratories to 
conduct a pilot program to use specific new authorities to 
improve the dynamic shaping of their technical workforces, 
including the ability to hire technical experts into flexible 
length and renewable term appointments, exercise flexibility in 
applying existing authorities for accessing the expertise of 
recently retired technical personnel and offer voluntary early 
retirement and voluntary separation incentives.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The conference agreement contains the Senate provision 
with the inclusion of a few technical clarifying amendments.
      The conferees believe that the ability of the Department 
of Defense laboratories to be flexible in both hiring and 
shaping their workforce is critical to maintaining a world-
class research workforce that can adapt over time to new and 
emerging areas of technical need. The Senate and House Armed 
Services Committees, in coordination with the Oversight and 
Government Reform Committee of the House of Representatives and 
the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee of the 
Senate, have been active in modifying and seeking new 
authorities to make the Defense laboratories agile and 
attractive places for civilian researchers and engineers.
      The conferees believe that taking stock of the 
authorities granted over the past 10 years and understanding 
their effects on attracting, recruiting and retaining a skilled 
workforce are important. Therefore, the conferees direct the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, in 
coordination with the military departments and laboratory 
directors, to brief the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and House of Representatives, the Oversight and 
Government Reform Committee of the House of Representatives and 
the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee of the 
Senate no later than 90 days of the enactment of this Act. This 
briefing should include how the military departments, the 
laboratories, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense are 
using these authorities, metrics for understanding the 
effectiveness of these authorities, and any recommendations for 
legislative or regulatory action to improve the functioning of 
these authorities.

Pilot program on temporary exchange of financial management and 
        acquisition personnel (sec. 1110)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1112) 
that would authorize a pilot program to assess the feasibility 
and advisability of the temporary assignment of financial 
management and acquisition personnel to nontraditional defense 
contractors as defined by section 2303(9) of title 10, United 
States Code, and of covered employees of such contractors to 
the Department of Defense. Nontraditional defense contractors 
are commercial companies who either do not do business with the 
Department of Defense or do so exclusively through commercial 
terms and conditions. This authority would expire on September 
30, 2019.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would make the 
authority permissive rather than mandatory and would modify the 
terms and conditions of participation in the pilot program by 
the private-sector employees.
      The conferees believe that any exchange of government 
personnel with industry designed to improve skills and 
knowledge of finance and acquisition should be with those types 
of firms that do not traditionally do business with the 
Department of Defense and as such may offer different business 
management approaches to address similar problems. These firms 
also do not pose the same potential conflict of interest 
concerns that any exchange with a traditional defense 
contractor would pose.

Pilot program on enhanced pay authority for certain acquisition and 
        technology positions in the Department of Defense (sec. 1111)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1113) 
that would authorize a pilot program to assess the feasibility 
and advisability of using a higher-level pay authority to 
attract and retain high-quality acquisition and technology 
experts in positions responsible for management and developing 
complex, high-cost, technological acquisition efforts of the 
Department of Defense. The conferees are concerned that in some 
cases the Department of Defense cannot competitively compensate 
the senior-level government program managers and engineers 
required for the government to oversee major defense 
acquisition programs. This provision would allow, in select 
cases, for the Department of Defense to pay a higher rate of 
compensation to recruit and retain senior acquisition officials 
who are exceptionally well qualified. These officials would be 
limited to a 5-year term. This authority would expire on 
October 1, 2020.
      The House bill contained no similar amendment.
      The House recedes.

Pilot program on direct hire authority for veteran technical experts 
        into the defense acquisition workforce (sec. 1112)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1114) 
that would authorize a 5-year pilot program for the service 
acquisition executives of each military department to directly 
appoint qualified veteran candidates for scientific, technical, 
engineering, and mathematics positions in the defense 
acquisition activities. This direct hire authority would be 
limited to no more than 1 percent of the total number of 
positions in the acquisition workforce in each military 
department that are filled as of the close of the previous 
fiscal year.
      The House bill contained no similar amendment.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide 
a report to the congressional defense committees on the use of 
this authority no later than 2 years after the date of 
enactment of the Act.

Direct hire authority for technical experts into the defense 
        acquisition workforce (sec. 1113)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1115) 
that would authorize the service secretaries of each military 
department to directly appoint qualified candidates possessing 
a scientific or engineering degree to positions in the defense 
acquisition activities. This direct hire authority would be 
limited to no more than 5 percent of the total number of 
scientific and engineering positions in the acquisition 
workforce in each military department that are filled as of the 
close of the previous fiscal year. This authority would expire 
December 31, 2020.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

                   Legislative Provisions Not Adopted

Authority to provide additional allowances and benefits for Defense 
        Clandestine Service employees

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1102) that 
would grant the Secretary of Defense the authority to provide 
additional allowances and benefits for Defense Clandestine 
Service employees.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Preference eligibility for members of reserve components of the Armed 
        Forces appointed to competitive service; clarification of 
        appeal rights

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1105) that 
would create a hiring preference for certain members of the 
reserve components of the Armed Forces for the competitive 
service and would clarify the appeals rights of individuals 
hired under section 3330a of title 5, United States Code.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

             Title XII--Matters Relating to Foreign Nations

                  Subtitle A--Training and Assistance

One-year extension of logistical support for coalition forces 
        supporting certain United States military operations (sec. 
        1201)

      The House bill 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 1223 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), by authorizing 
the Secretary of Defense to provide supplies, services, 
transportation, and other logistical support to coalition 
forces supporting U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan 
during fiscal year 2016.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Strategic framework for Department of Defense security cooperation 
        (sec. 1202)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1202) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
the Secretary of State, to develop a strategic framework for 
Department of Defense security cooperation to guide 
prioritization of resources and activities. This section would 
also require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
Secretary of State, to submit a report on the strategic 
framework for security cooperation 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 90 days after enactment of this 
Act.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provisions.

would amend section 1205 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) by modifying and 
extending the authorization for the National Guard State 
Partnership Program (SPP) by 2 years, would require the Chief 
of the National Guard Bureau to establish and submit a list of 
core competencies to support SPP activities to the Secretary of 
Defense for approval, and would require the Secretary of 
Defense to establish a fund to administer and execute the funds 
authorized and appropriated for SPP.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1204) that would amend section 1205 of the National Defense

State Partnership Program and direct the Under Secretary of 
Defense (Comptroller) and Under Secretary of Defense (Policy) 
to conduct an advisability and feasibility study as to whether 
a central fund should be created to support the activities 
associated with the State Partnership Program.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would make 
clarifying changes, would require the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a legislative proposal if it is found to be advisable 
and feasible to establish a central fund for the program, and 
would extend the underlying authority for the program for 5 
years.
      The conferees encourage DOD to consider if it would be 
useful to establish a list of core competencies of the National 
Guard to be used to better educate security assistance officers 
and countries participating in the State Partnership Program 
about the capabilities that can be brought to bear by the 
Guard. The Secretary should inform the Armed Services 
Committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate if 
such a step is considered to be useful.

        personnel between the United States and foreign countries (sec. 
        1204)

cost effectiveness and extent to which programs meet designated 
goals.

        capacity of foreign security forces (sec. 1206)

that would extend for 1 year the funding limitations for the 
Department of Defense to build the capacity of foreign security 
forces under section 2282, title 10, United States Code.

Authority to provide support to national military forces of allied 
        countries for counterterrorism operations in Africa (sec. 1207)

that would authorize through September 30, 2018, the Secretary 
of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, to 
provide, on a non-reimbursable basis, logistic support, 
supplies, and services to the national military forces of an 
allied country conducting counterterrorism operations in Africa 
if the Secretary of Defense determines that the provision of

United States; and (2) critical to the timely and effective 
participation of such national military forces in such 
operations.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note that, in this section, the term 
`allied country' has the meaning given to that term in section 
2350c of title 10, United States Code.

        the Department of Defense (sec. 1208)

the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence to provide 
semi-annual reports to the congressional defense committees on 
the military intelligence training performed by Department of 
Defense of foreign military intelligence personnel and the 
authorities under which such activities are conducted.
      The conferees believe that the current matrix of capacity 
building authorities may not sufficiently cover sustained 
intelligence training for foreign military forces for purposes 
other than counterterrorism operations and stability operations 
with whom the United States partners or may need to partner in 
the future. Based on the reports and any potential gaps in 
authorities, the conferees will evaluate whether further 
authorities should be included in the 2017 authorizing 
legislation.

        movement (sec. 1209)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1207) 
that would prohibit assistance to an entity in Yemen controlled 
by members of the Houthi movement unless the Secretary of 
Defense determines the provision of such assistance is 
important to the national security interests of the United 
States.
      The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment requiring the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a notification to certain 
congressional committees should the national security exception 
be exercised.

        Subtitle B--Matters Relating to Afghanistan and Pakistan

Extension and modification of Commanders' Emergency Response Program 
        (sec. 1211)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1211) that 
would amend section 1201 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), as most recently 
amended by section 1221 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), by extending for 
1 year the Commanders' Emergency Response Program (CERP) in 
Afghanistan and authorizing $5.0 million for fiscal year 2016.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1222) that would make up to $10.0 million available during 
fiscal year 2016 for CERP in Afghanistan, and would authorize 
certain payments to redress injury and loss in Iraq.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would limit 
amounts available during Fiscal Year 2016 to not exceed $5.0 
million, require the Secretary of Defense to submit revised 
guidance to take into account the modifications to CERP made by 
this provision and would allow the Secretary to begin payments 
to redress injury and loss in Iraq 30 days after the submission 
of a report related to the conditions for which payment would 
be made and the manner in which claims for payments shall be 
verified.

Extension and modification of authority for reimbursement of certain 
        coalition nations for support provided to United States 
        military operations (sec. 1212)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1212) that 
would extend the authority for reimbursement of coalition 
nations for support provided to the U.S. for military 
operations in Afghanistan through fiscal year 2016 and would 
authorize $1.3 billion. Of the $1.0 billion in reimbursement 
authorized for Pakistan during fiscal year 2016, $400.0 million 
would not be eligible for a waiver unless the Secretary of 
Defense certifies that Pakistan is conducting military 
operations against the Haqqani Network and is actively 
coordinating with the Government of Afghanistan to restrict the 
movement of militants along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1224) that would extend the authority to make Coalition Support 
Fund (CSF) payments to reimburse certain nations for support 
provided to U.S. military operations in Afghanistan and would 
authorize to $1.2 billion, of which $900.0 million would be 
provided to Pakistan. Of the $900.0 million, $100.0 million 
would be authorized for a pilot program.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
$1.3 billion and would limit the authorization for 
reimbursement to Pakistan to $900.0 million. Of the $900.0 
million, $350.0 million would not be eligible for a waiver 
unless the Secretary of Defense certifies that Pakistan has met 
certain conditions. An additional $100.0 million of CSF would 
be made available for Pakistan for direct assistance for a 
pilot program for stability activities undertaken in the 
Federally Administered Tribal Areas, including the provision of 
funds to the Pakistan military and the Pakistan Frontier Corps 
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
      The conferees encourage the continuation of military 
operations undertaken by the Pakistan Military in the Federally 
Administered Tribal Area but note the need for further action 
against terrorist organizations such as the Haqqani Network.

Additional matter in semiannual report on enhancing security and 
        stability in Afghanistan (sec. 1213)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1213) that 
would state the sense of Congress that the President's decision 
to maintain 9,800 U.S. troops through 2015 is appropriate, that 
the President should withdraw U.S. troops only on a pace that 
is consistent with the ability of the Afghan National Security 
Forces to sustain itself and secure Afghanistan, and that the 
U.S. President should review maintaining the U.S. advisory 
mission beyond 2016.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1221) that would require a certification by the President to 
the congressional defense committees that the reduction of U.S. 
forces in Afghanistan will result in an acceptable level of 
risk to U.S. national security objectives.
      The House recedes with an amendment that adds an 
assessment of risks associated with the drawdown of U.S. forces 
to the semiannual report required by section 1225 of the Carl 
Levin and Howard P. `Buck' McKeon National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291).

would extend section 801 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), as most recently 
amended by section 832 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66), through December 
31, 2016, for limiting competition for products or services 
that are from one or more countries along a major route of 
supply to Afghanistan or providing a preference for such a 
product or service, under certain circumstances.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.

Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), for 1 year and would 
extend the quarterly reporting requirement through March 31, 
2017. This section would authorize that, during fiscal years 
2015-16, the excess defense articles transferred from the 
stocks of the Department of Defense to the military and

activities for U.S. Armed Forces.
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1227) 
that would modify the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa program to 
require not less than 2 years of service if submitting a 
petition after September 30, 2015, would express the sense of 
Congress that the necessity of providing special immigrant 
status should be assessed at regular intervals by the Committee 
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives taking into account the scope of the current 
and planned presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and would 
make technical amendments.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.

             Subtitle C--Matters Relating to Syria and Iraq

Extension of authority to support operations and activities of the 
        Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq (sec. 1221)

Cooperation in Iraq (OSC-I) for 1 year. This authority would 
allow the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the 
Secretary of State, to authorize OSC-I to conduct training 
activities in support of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and 
Counter Terrorism Service personnel at a base or facility of 
the Government of Iraq. This section would limit the total 
authorized funding for operations and activities for OSC-I to 
$143.0 million in fiscal year 2016 and would require the 
Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State to submit a 
report assessing how OSC-I integrates into Operation Inherent 
Resolve in Iraq.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1228) that would authorize the use of up to $80.0 million in 
fiscal year 2016 to support OSC-I operations and activities.
      The House recedes.

Strategy for the Middle East and to counter violent extremism (sec. 
        1222)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1222) that 
would express a sense of Congress on U.S. strategy in the 
Middle East and would require the Secretary of Defense to 
submit to the congressional defense committees a comprehensive 
strategy for the Middle East.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State, not later 
than February 15, 2016, to jointly submit to certain 
congressional committees a strategy for the Middle East and to 
counter violent extremism.

Modification of authority to provide assistance to counter the Islamic 
        State of Iraq and the Levant (sec. 1223)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1223) that 
would authorize $715.0 million in fiscal year 2016 for 
assistance to the military and security forces associated with 
the Government of Iraq, of which not less than 25 percent of 
such funds would be obligated to such groups as Kurdish and 
tribal security forces with a national security mission. This 
section would require an assessment by the Secretary of Defense 
and Secretary of State of the conditions of the Government of 
Iraq relating to political inclusiveness, minority integration, 
and efforts to address grievances of ethnic and sectarian 
minorities. If the assessment is not submitted or Iraq has not 
substantially achieved the conditions contained in the 
assessment, the Secretaries would be required to withhold the 
provision of assistance pursuant to the ``Iraq Train and Equip 
Authority'' under section 1236 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) and 
60 percent of such assistance would go directly to certain 
groups.
      The Senate amendment contained provisions (sec. 1225, 
1229, 1271) that would require the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees within 
30 days if the Secretary determines that equipment provided by 
the United States to Iraq has been transferred to or acquired 
by a violent extremist organization and would add an additional 
element to the quarterly report under the Iraq Train and Equip 
authority to include a list of units restricted from receiving 
assistance under that authority as a result of vetting.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express 
the sense of Congress that: (1) the Islamic State of Iraq and 
the Levant poses an acute threat to the people and territorial 
integrity of Iraq (ISIL), (2) defeating ISIL is critical to 
maintaining a unified Iraq, and (3) the United States in 
coordination with coalition partners should provide security 
assistance in an expeditious and responsive manner to the 
national security forces associated with the Government of Iraq 
including Kurdish and tribal security forces or other security 
forces with a national security mission. The amendment would 
also require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
State to jointly submit an assessment, to certain congressional 
committees on the extent to which the Government of Iraq is 
increasing political inclusiveness, addressing grievances of 
ethnic and sectarian minorities, and enhancing minority 
integration in the political and military structures in Iraq. 
Taking into account such an assessment, in the event the 
President determines that the Government of Iraq has failed to 
take substantial action to: (1) increase political 
inclusiveness, (2) address the grievances of ethnic and 
sectarian minorities, and (3) enhance minority integration in 
the political and military structures in Iraq; the Secretary of 
Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, would be 
authorized to provide, in coordination to the extent 
practicable with the Government of Iraq, assistance pursuant to 
the Iraq Train and Equip authority directly to the Kurdish 
Peshmerga, Sunni tribal security forces, or other local 
security forces with a national security mission for the 
purpose of supporting international coalition efforts against 
ISIL. The conferees note 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 minority 
communities, such as Yazidi, Christian, Assyrian and Turkoman 
communities, against the ISIL threat. Additionally, this 
section would prohibit assistance pursuant to the Iraq Train 
and Equip authority from being provided to the Government of 
Iraq unless the Secretary of Defense certifies that the 
Government of Iraq has taken actions as may be reasonably 
necessary to safeguard against such assistance being 
transferred to, or acquired by violent extremist organizations, 
including designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) or 
an organization that is known to be under the command and 
control of, or is associated with the Government of Iran.

        Inherent Resolve (sec. 1224)

would express the sense of the Congress that Operation Inherent 
Resolve and the force protection and combat search and rescue 
requirements be continuously evaluated, and would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense 
committees a report on the U.S. Armed Forces deployed in 
support of OIR.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require a 
report to the congressional defense committees, not later than 
30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act and every 
90 days thereafter, on United States Armed Forces deployed in 
support of Operation Inherent Resolve.

costs that would be incurred by the Army for such program, and 
$42.8 million for costs that would be incurred by the Air Force 
for such program.

that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
on the military support the Secretary considers necessary to 
provide to recipients of assistance upon their return to Syria.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would: (1) 
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on what 
support is determined to be necessary to provide recipients of 
assistance upon their return to Syria; (2) modify quarterly 
reporting matters; and (3) require certain information to 
accompany reprogramming requests.

1202) that would authorize assistance to Jordan and Lebanon in 
any fiscal year through fiscal year 2020 for the purposes of 
sustaining security along their borders with Syria and/or Iraq. 
Regarding assistance to the Government of Lebanon, the 
provision would prohibit reimbursement of Hezbollah or any 
forces other than the armed forces of Lebanon.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make 
available to Jordan and Lebanon funds not to exceed $150.0 
million for each country in any 1 fiscal year for reimbursement 
from amounts authorized pursuant to section 1233 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2008 (P.L. 
110-181) and section 1534 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for fiscal year 2015 (P.L. 113-291), the Counterterrorism

the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State to submit a 
report to certain congressional committees that summarizes any 
agreement on security commitments by the United States to any 
country in the Middle East in effect as of 15 days prior to the

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1242) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
appropriate congressional committees quarterly notifications on 
the status of the Russian Federation conducting exercises with, 
planning or preparing to deploy, or deploying certain weapons 
systems, onto the territory of the Ukrainian Republic. This 
provision would also require prompt notification, no more than 
seven days, after the Secretary of Defense determines that 
there exists reasonable grounds to believe that Russia has 
deployed certain weapon systems onto the territory of Ukraine. 
Further, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shall submit 
to the congressional defense committees, no later than June 30, 
2016, a strategy to respond to the military threat posed by the 
Russian Federation deploying covered weapons systems onto the 
territory of the Ukraine Republic.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand 
the notification to include the deployment of covered weapon 
systems into the Russian territory of Kaliningrad, and would 
require the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to include in 
current planning options for responding to the military threat 
posed by the Russian Federation deploying covered weapons into 
the territory of Ukraine and Kaliningrad, including 
opportunities for allied cooperation. The agreement also 
addresses the requirement to report on the status of exercises 
with, planning or preparing to deploy, or deploying certain 
weapons systems, onto the territory of the Ukrainian Republic 
in another section of this Act, and includes reporting on 
deployment of such weapons systems in the Russian territory of 
Kaliningrad in that section. The provision would terminate 
after 5 years.

Measures in response to non-compliance by the Russian Federation with 
        its obligations under the INF Treaty (sec. 1243)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1243) that 
would require the President to submit to the appropriate 
congressional committees a notification of whether the Russian 
Federation has flight-tested, deployed, or possessed a military 
system that has achieved an initial operation capability of a 
covered missile system, and whether the Russian Federation has 
begun steps to return to full compliance with the Intermediate-
Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, including by agreeing to 
inspections and verification measures necessary to achieve high 
confidence that any covered missile system will be eliminated, 
as required by the INF Treaty upon its entry into force.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1671) that would require the President to notify the 
appropriate congressional committees with respect to whether 
the Russian Federation has flight-tested, deployed, or 
possessed a military system that has achieved an initial 
operating capability that is in violation of the INF Treaty or 
has begun taking measures to return to full compliance with the 
INF Treaty. The provision would also require the Secretary of 
Defense to submit a report to the appropriate congressional 
committees on the status of updates provided to the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and other allies of the 
United States on the Russian Federation's flight testing, 
operational capability, and deployment of ground-launched 
ballistic missiles in violation of the INF Treaty. If the 
Russian Federation fails compliance measures by the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense will also 
submit to Congress, a plan outlining the development of 
military capabilities, including counterforce capabilities, 
countervailing strike capabilities, and active defense to 
defend against intermediate-range ground-launched cruise 
missile attacks.
      The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

Modification of notification and assessment of proposal to modify or 
        introduce new aircraft or sensors for flight by the Russian 
        Federation under the open skies treaty (sec. 1244)

      The House bill contained two provisions (sec. 1244 and 
1265) that would amend section 1242 (b)(1) of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-
291; 128 Stat. 3564) to extend reporting requirements from 30 
days to 90 days and extend oversight to include the commander 
of each relevant combatant command as well as the Joint Chiefs 
of Staff. Additionally, the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Secretary of State this provision limits 
obligated funds to less than 50 percent until a report on any 
meetings of the Open Skies Consultative Commission during the 
prior year is delivered to Congress to the appropriate 
committees.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1672) that would modify Section 1242(b) of the Carl Levin and 
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) by adding a 
requirement to include an assessment by the commander of each 
combatant command potentially affected by a proposal of the 
Russian Federation to modify or introduce a new aircraft or 
sensor for flight under the Open Skies Treaty, including an 
assessment of the potential effects of the proposal on 
operations and any potential vulnerabilities. The provision 
would also require that not later than 30 days after the date 
of any meeting of the Open Skies Consultative Commission, the 
Secretary of Defense submit to the defense committees of 
Congress a report on such meeting, including a description of 
any agreements entered into during such meeting, and whether 
any such agreement will result in a modification to the 
aircraft or sensors that will be subject to the Open Skies 
Treaty.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would combine 
the three similar provisions and limit the availability of 
funds made available for fiscal year 2016 for arms control 
implementation (PE 0305145F) to not more than 75 percent until 
the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of 
State, submits a report to Congress describing any meetings of 
the Open Skies Consultative Commission during the prior year, a 
description of any agreements entered into during such 
meetings, and a description of future year proposals for 
modification to aircraft sensors that will be subject to the 
Open Skies Treaty.

Prohibition on availability of funds relating to sovereignty of the 
        Russian Federation over Crimea (sec. 1245)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1247) that 
would prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated or made 
available by this Act through fiscal year 2016 for the 
Department of Defense to implement any action or policy that 
recognizes the de facto sovereignty of Russia over Crimea, or 
any country whose central government has taken steps to 
recognize or support Russia's illegal occupation of Crimea. The 
provision included a waiver if the Secretary of Defense 
certifies and reports that doing so would be in the national 
security interest of the United States.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with a technical and clarifying 
amendment.

Limitation on military contact and cooperation between the United 
        States and the Russian Federation (sec. 1246)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1248) that 
would prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise 
made available for fiscal year 2016 to be used for bilateral 
military-to-military contact or cooperation 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 did not contain a similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with a technical and clarifying 
amendment.

Limitation on funds for implementation on the New START Treaty (sec. 
        1247)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1249) that 
would limit all authorized funds that would be used for 
implementation of the New START Treaty until the President 
certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that the 
armed forces of the Russian Federation are no longer illegally 
occupying Ukrainian territory; the Russian Federation is 
respecting the sovereignty of all Ukrainian territory; the 
Russian Federation is no longer taking actions that are 
inconsistent with the INF Treaty; the Russian Federation is in 
compliance with the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty 
and has lifted its suspension of Russian observance of its 
treaty obligations; and there have been no inconsistencies by 
the Russian Federation with the New START Treaty requirements.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that changes the 
limitation to a reporting requirement on the reasons continued 
implementation of the New START treaty is in the national 
security interests of the United States, for any year in which 
the New START Treaty is in effect and the following conditions 
apply (and steps taken to remedy the conditions), the Russian 
Federation (i) continues to occupy Ukraine territory, (ii) 
disrespects the sovereignty of Ukraine territory, (iii) is not 
in fully compliance with the Intermediate Nuclear Forces 
Treaty, (iv) is not in compliance with the CFE Treaty and has 
not lifted is suspension of observing the Treaty, and (v) is 
not reducing it deployed strategic delivery vehicles, which are 
under the central limits of the New START Treaty. The conferees 
are concerned about the impact of Russia increasing its number 
of deployed strategic delivery vehicles, but notes that this 
increase is occurring within the legally-binding New START 
Treaty caps.

Additional matters in annual report on military and security 
        developments involving the Russian Federation (sec. 1248)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1255) 
that would add a reporting requirement to section 1245 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public 
Law 113-291) requiring an assessment of the force structure and 
capabilities of Russian military forces stationed in the Arctic 
region, Kaliningrad, and Crimea, as well as an assessment of 
the Russian military strategy in the Arctic region.
      The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would create an 
additional element to require a description of the testing, 
production, deployment, and sale or transfer of the Club-K 
cruise missile system by the Russian Federation.

Report on alternative capabilities to procure and sustain nonstandard 
        rotary wing aircraft historically procured through 
        Rosoboronexport (sec. 1249)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1256) 
that would require an independent assessment on the feasibility 
and advisability of using alternative industrial base 
capabilities to procure and sustain nonstandard rotary wing 
aircraft historically acquired through the Russian state 
corporation Rosoboronexport as well as an analysis of 
alterations that may be required for waivers of foreign 
military sales requirements and procedures for approval of 
airworthiness certificates associated with such alternative 
capabilities.
      The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
      The House recedes with technical and clarifying 
amendments.
      The conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, not later than 180 days 
after date of the enactment of this Act and in consultation 
with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to provide an 
interim brief to the Committees on Armed Services of the House 
of Representatives and the Senate on the initial findings, 
conclusions, and recommendations of the independent assessment 
required by this section.

Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (sec. 1250)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1532) that 
would authorize $200.0 million for the Secretary of Defense, in 
concurrence with the Secretary of State, to provide assistance 
and sustainment to the military and national security forces of 
Ukraine. This assistance would include the explicit authority 
to provide lethal weapons of a defensive nature to the security 
forces of Ukraine.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1251) that would authorize $300.0 million 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 Ukraine.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
$50.0 million of the funds authorized to be available only for 
lethal assistance and counterartillery radars unless the 
Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of 
State, certifies that use of such funds for lethal assistance 
is not in the U.S. national security interest. If the 
certification is made, such funds could be used for assistance 
or support to Partnership for Peace (PfP) nations, or for 
exercises and training for the security forces of PfP nations 
or the Government of Ukraine to assist in preserving their 
sovereignty and territorial integrity against Russian 
aggression.
      The conferees emphasize the importance of providing 
support to the Government of Ukraine in defending itself 
against actions by Russia and Russian-backed separatists that 
continue to violate ceasefire agreements. The conferees note 
the success of current training of Ukrainian security forces by 
U.S. forces and encourage expansion of such training efforts as 
provided for in this section. The conferees further note the 
growing threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of 
other nations in the region and stress the importance of 
assisting such nations in developing the capability to defend 
against Russian aggression.

Training for Eastern European national military forces in the course of 
        multilateral exercises (sec. 1251)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1252) 
that would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with the 
concurrence of the Secretary of State, to provide multilateral 
or regional training, and pay the incremental expenses of 
participating in such training, for the national military 
forces of 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 that became 
a NATO member after January 1, 1999.
      The House bill did not contain a similar provision.
      The House recedes with a technical and clarifying 
amendment that further refines the types of training authorized 
under this section to training provided in the course of the 
conduct of a multilateral exercise in which the U.S. Armed 
Forces are a participant and that is comparable to or 
complimentary of training the U.S. Armed Forces receive in the 
course of such multilateral exercises. Training authorized 
under this section would be for certain specified purposes, 
including enhancing the interoperability of the trained forces 
to be able to participate in NATO or coalition operations, or 
to increase the capacity of those forces to respond to external 
threats or hybrid warfare.

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

Strategy to promote United States interests in the Indo-Asia-Pacific 
        region (sec. 1261)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1253) that 
would require the President to develop an overall strategy to 
promote U.S. interests in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region and to 
provide policy directives and priority goals to relevant U.S. 
Government departments and agencies.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1265) that would require the report to be completed within 120 
days of enactment.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would delay the 
date the strategy is due to March 1, 2017.
      The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1262) that 
would express the sense of the Congress to reaffirm the 
importance of the rebalance to the Asia-Pacific region. In 
order to maintain the credibility of the U.S. policy to 
rebalance towards the Indo-Asia-Pacific theater, the conferees 
believe it is vital that the United States continue to shift 
forces to the region to strengthen the ability of the United 
States Armed Forces to project power to shape the choices of 
regional states. Any reduction or failure to adequately 
resource U.S. force structure in the U.S. Pacific Command would 
diminish the rebalance policy.
      The House bill included a number of provisions that would 
express the sense of the Congress regarding the various 
contributions of different allies and partner nations (sec. 
1251, sec. 1252, sec. 1254, sec. 1255, and sec. 1272).
      The conferees note the 70th Anniversary of the end of 
Allied military engagement in the Pacific theater, marking the 
end of the Second World War and joins with a grateful nation in 
expressing respect and appreciation to the members of the U.S. 
Armed Forces who served in the Pacific theater during the 
Second World War.
      Further, the conferees believe any long-term strategy for 
the Indo-Asia-Pacific region must include continued engagement 
with allies and partners in the region.
      The United States values its alliance with the Government 
of Japan as a cornerstone of peace and security in the region. 
The United States welcomes Japan's decision to contribute more 
proactively to regional and global peace and security. 
Furthermore, the conferees note that the Senkaku Islands are 
under the administrative control of Japan. The conferees oppose 
any unilateral actions by a third party that would seek to 
undermine such administration, and remain committed under the 
Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security to respond to any 
armed attack in the territories under the administration of 
Japan. Finally, the conferees acknowledge the significant and 
unprecedented financial contributions the Government of Japan 
has made to facilitate U.S. military access in both Japan and 
Guam.
      The conferees also note that the alliance between the 
United States and the Republic of Korea has served as an anchor 
for stability, security, and prosperity on the Korean 
Peninsula, in the Asia-Pacific region, and around the world. 
The United States and the Republic of Korea should continue 
further cooperation by strengthening the combined defense 
posture on the Korean Peninsula and enhancing mutual security 
based on the Republic of Korea-United States Mutual Defense 
Treaty. The conferees support the vision of a Korean Peninsula 
free of nuclear weapons, free from the fear of war, and 
peacefully reunited on the basis of democratic and free market 
principles. Finally, we acknowledge the significant financial 
contributions the Republic of Korea has made to facilitate U.S. 
military access on the Korean Peninsula.
      The conferees note that United States has an upgraded, 
strategic-plus relationship with India based on regional 
cooperation, space science cooperation, and defense 
cooperation. The conferees believe that the defense 
relationship between the United States and the Republic of 
India is strengthened by the common commitment of both 
countries to liberal democracy should continue to expand. 
Further, we welcome the role of the Republic of India in 
providing security and stability in the Indo-Pacific region and 
beyond, and we support the implementation of the United States-
India Defense Framework Agreement and the India Defense Trade 
and Technology Initiative (DTTI).

Requirement to submit Department of Defense policy regarding foreign 
        disclosure or technology release of Aegis Ashore capability to 
        Japan (sec. 1262)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1256) that 
would express the sense of Congress that a decision by the 
Government of Japan to purchase Aegis Ashore for its self-
defense could create a significant opportunity for promoting 
interoperability and integration of air- and missile defense 
capability with close allies, could provide for force 
multiplication benefits, and could potentially alleviate force 
posture requirements on multi-mission assets. This provision 
would also require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
appropriate congressional committees, a copy of the Department 
of Defense policy regarding foreign disclosure or technology 
release of Aegis Ashore capability to allies, including Japan, 
that possess sea-based Aegis weapons system-equipped naval 
vessels.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove 
the references to other allies and would edit the title of the 
provision to directly reference the Government of Japan.

South China Sea Initiative (sec. 1263)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1261) 
that would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with the 
concurrence of the Secretary of State, to provide assistance 
and training for the purposes of increasing maritime security 
and the maritime domain awareness of foreign countries in the 
South China Sea. The provision would authorize $50.0 million 
from amounts authorized to be appropriated for the Department 
of Defense Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) 
account for fiscal year 2016, with increases in funding levels 
in subsequent fiscal years, to provide assistance to the 
recipient countries, which include Indonesia, Malaysia, the 
Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. The provision would require 
that the Secretary of Defense provide prior notification to the 
congressional defense committees not later than 15 days before 
exercising this authority.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
$50.0 million from amounts authorized to be appropriated for 
the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2016 only and, if the 
Secretary uses these funds to provide assistance and training 
under this authority during the first half-year of fiscal year 
2016, the Secretary must submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees on the account or accounts that were used to 
provide the funds. The authority to provide assistance and 
training cannot be exercised after September 30, 2020. The 
conferees expect the Department to request additional funding 
for the South China Sea Initiative in fiscal years 2017 through 
2020 as part of the annual budget request.

                       Subtitle G--Other Matters

Two-year extension and modification of authorization for non-
        conventional assisted recovery capabilities (sec. 1271)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1261) that 
would extend, for 1 year, the authority of the Department of 
Defense to continue to develop, manage, and execute a Non-
Conventional Assisted Recovery (NAR) personnel recovery program 
for isolated Department of Defense (DOD), U.S. Government, and 
other designated personnel supporting U.S. national interests 
worldwide. This section would allow the Secretary of Defense to 
use up to $25.0 million in funds authorized to be appropriated 
for the Department of Defense for operation and maintenance for 
such recovery programs through fiscal year 2017.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1282) that would extend the authority of the Department of 
Defense to establish, develop, and maintain NAR capabilities 
for 2 additional years. The provision would also designate the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-
Intensity Conflict (ASD SOLIC) as the primary civilian within 
DOD with programmatic and policy oversight responsibilities for 
such activities.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would authorize 
the Secretary of Defense to use up to $25.0 million in funds 
authorized for operation and maintenance for NAR.
      The conferees note that the agreement would designate the 
ASD SOLIC as the primary civilian within DOD with programmatic 
and policy oversight responsibilities for such activities. 
Given the sensitive nature of NAR activities, including the 
authorized use of irregular forces, groups, and individuals, 
the committee believes that ASD SOLIC is the most appropriate 
civilian office within the Department to exercise oversight of 
such activities and associated policies.

Amendment to the annual report under Arms Control and Disarmament Act 
        (sec. 1272)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1262) that 
would amend subsection (e) of section 403 of the Arms Control 
and Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C. 2593a) and would require the

treaty or related agreement to which the United States is a 
party.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public 
Law 113-66) through September 30, 2020.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1203) that would extend the authority for the Secretary of 
Defense to provide Weapons of Mass Destruction incident 
response training and basic equipment to foreign first 
responders until September 30, 2018.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend 
the authority through September 30, 2019.

Modification of authority for support of special operations to combat 
        terrorism (sec. 1274)

      The House bill contained a provision that would amend the 
authority for support of special operations to combat terrorism 
contained in section 1208 of the Ronald W. Reagan National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Public Law 108-
375), as amended, by increasing the annual cap on the authority 
from $75.0 million to $100.0 million.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would increase 
the annual cap on the authority from $75.0 million to $85.0 
million and would require the Secretary of Defense to notify 
the congressional defense committees not later than 15-days 
prior to initiating the authority.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to notify 
the congressional defense committees of funding changes to 
Section 1208 programs when such a proposed increase exceeds 20 
percent of the current approved total for that particular 
program or $500,000, whichever amount is less.

would limit the Department of Defense's ability to implement 
the Arms Trade Treaty while also permitting the Department to 
assist foreign governments in bringing their laws and 
regulations to a level equal to that of the United States.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.
      The conferees note that a substantively identical 
provision was included in the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2015 
(Public Law 113-291).

Report on the security relationship between the United States and the 
        Republic of Cyprus (sec. 1276)

        Organization (sec. 1277)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1280) that 
would express the sense of the Congress that the U.S. should 
continue to work with aspirant countries for entry into the 
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and work with NATO 
members to identify current and future security threats as well 
as ensuring sufficient funding is obligated to meet NATO 
responsibilities.
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1254) 
that would express the sense of Congress urging the United 
States to encourage NATO allies to meet defense budget 
commitments made at the Wales Summit in September 2014 and to 
continue to coordinate defense investments to improve 
deterrence against Russian aggression and terrorist 
organizations as well as more appropriately balancing defense 
spending across the alliance.
      The House recedes with an amendment that expresses the 
sense of Congress that the United States should continue NATO's 
open-door policy for nations that share Alliance values, are 
willing to assume the responsibilities and obligations of 
membership, and are in a position to contribute to the security 
of the North Atlantic area, as well as encouraging continued 
work with aspirant countries to prepare for entry into NATO.

Briefing on the sale of certain fighter aircraft to Qatar (sec. 1278)

benefits of the sale of fighter aircraft to Qatar.

United States-Israel anti-tunnel cooperation (sec. 1279)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1267) that 
would establish a cooperative research and development program 
with Israel to develop anti-tunneling defense capabilities to 
detect, map, and neutralize underground tunnels.

establishes an annual limit on the amount that can be provided, 
and requires matching contributions from the Government of 
Israel.
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, not later 
than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, to 
submit to congressional defense committees a report that 
includes: (1) instances of tunnels being used to attack 
installations of the United States or allies of the United 
States; (2) trends or developments in tunnel attacks throughout 
the world; (3) key technologies employed by potential 
adversaries and challenges faced when using tunnels; (4) the

      The conferees believe that the United States, in 
accordance with the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8), 
should continue to make available to Taiwan such defense 
articles and services as may be necessary to enable Taiwan to 
maintain a sufficient self-defense. The United States should

innovative and asymmetric capabilities to balance the growing 
military capabilities of the People's Republic of China, 
including fast-attack craft, coastal-defense cruise missiles, 
rapid-runway repair systems, offensive mines, and submarines

emphasize the defense of Taiwan Island from missile attack, 
maritime blockade, and amphibious invasion by the People's 
Republic of China. Toward this end, the conferees believe that 
Taiwan should be encouraged to participate in exercises that 
include realistic air-to-air combat training, including the 
exercise conducted at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, and 
Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, commonly referred to as ``Red 
Flag.''

carry out a program of exchanges of military officers between 
the United States and Taiwan designed to improve military-to-
military relations between the United States and Taiwan. The 
officer exchanges should include field-grade officers, 
particularly officers with combat and specialized experience, 
and general officers, who can provide support to Taiwan to 
develop and improve its joint warfighting capabilities.
      The conferees also note that section 1259A of the Fiscal 
Year 2015 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 113-291)

interests. The committee notes that the United States Global 
Strategy on Gender-based Violence Prevention and Response 
requires the participation of the Department of Defense (DOD) 
in efforts to implement the strategy. The conferees encourage 
the continued efforts of the DOD in support of the United 
States Global Strategy on Gender-based Violence Prevention and 
Response.
      Additionally, the conferees direct the Secretary of 
Defense, not later than 180 days after the enactment of this 
Act, to provide to the Committee on Armed Services of the

Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs of the House of Representatives, a report on efforts to

Government of Afghanistan to promote the security of Afghan 
women and girls. This section also would require the Secretary

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1542) that 
would authorize various transfer authorities, reporting 
requirements, and other associated activities for the Joint

      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1532) that would authorize the Joint IED Defeat Fund and 
provide the Secretary of Defense with the authority to 
investigate, develop and provide equipment, supplies, services, 
training, facilities, personnel, and funds to assist in the 
defeat of improvised explosive devices for operations in 
Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and other operations or military 
missions designated by the Secretary.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
the transition of the Joint IED Defeat Organization to a combat 
support agency, require the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
plan by January 31, 2016 for the activities, functions, and 
resources of Joint IED Defeat Organization to be fully and 
completely transitioned to an office under the authority, 
direction, and control of an executive agent by September 30, 
2016. Additionally, if the full transition is not complete by 
September 30, 2016 none of the funds in the Joint IED Defeat 
Fund would be available to the Department of Defense after 
September 30, 2016.
      The conferees urge the Secretary of Defense to provide 
information to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
Representatives and Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for 
any activities conducted pursuant to subsection (b).
      The conferees understand that as of March 11, 2015, the 
Deputy Secretary of Defense formally initiated the transition 
of the Joint IED Defeat Organization to a new combat support 
agency named the Joint Improvised-Threat Agency (JIDA) with the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 
Logistics as the component lead. The conferees have concerns 
regarding this current transition and believe a new strategy 
and implementation plan is required that would provide for a 
more streamlined approach to integrating the roles, missions, 
and activities of the JIDA into an existing military 
department, rather than establishing a new combat support 
agency within the Office of the Secretary of Defense. This 
would create reduced overhead management costs while 
maintaining institutional core knowledge for counter defeat and 
detection capabilities for IEDs and other improvised threats. 
The intent of this required new transition so not to disrupt 
ongoing, near-term counter-IED activities in support of 
overseas contingency operations.

        of foreign security forces to defeat improvised explosive 
        devices (sec. 1533)

in defeating improvised explosive devices. The provision would 
require training be provided only pursuant to other provisions 
of law.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with a clarifying amendment that would 
conform the provision to a related provision concerning the 
Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization included 
elsewhere in this Act.

        Operation and Maintenance (sec. 1534)

report to funds authorized in section 4303.

increased U.S. military presence, exercises, training, 
prepositioning of equipment and infrastructure; (2) increased 
emphasis on countering unconventional warfare methods in areas 
such as cyber warfare, information operations, and intelligence 
operations; and (3) increased security assistance to allies and

would amend section 1604 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. `Buck' 
McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
(Public Law 113-291) by inserting a section on streamlined 
acquisition; a clarification that, of the funds authorized to 
be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for 
fiscal year 2016 for the rocket propulsion system required by 
section 1604 of Public Law 113-291, the Secretary of Defense 
would be permitted to obligate or expend such funds only for 
the development of such rocket propulsion system, and the 
necessary interfaces to the launch vehicle, to replace non-
allied space launch engines by 2019 as required by such 
section; and a requirement for the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing on the streamlined acquisition approach, 
requirements, and acquisition strategy.
      The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 
1606) that would amend section 1604 of the Carl Levin and 
Howard P. `Buck' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) to include a plan for the 
development and fielding of a full-up engine.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the

launch engines by 2019 as required by section 1604 of the Carl

the integration of a rocket propulsion system on a new or 
existing launch vehicle. Funds may not be used to develop or 
procure a new launch vehicle or infrastructure.
      The agreement would also direct the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide the congressional defense committees a

propulsion system.

Exception to the prohibition on contracting with Russian suppliers of 
        rocket engines for the evolved expendable launch vehicle 
        program (sec. 1607)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1604) that 
would amend section 1608 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3626; 10 U.S.C. 2271 
note).
      The Senate amendment also contained a provision (sec. 
1603) that would amend section 1608 of the Carl Levin and 
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3626; 10 
U.S.C. 2271 note).
      The House recedes with an amendment that would amend 
section 1608 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public 
Law 113-291) by modifying the exception to the prohibition. The 
amendment would except contracts awarded for the procurement of 
property or services for space launch activities that includes 
the use of not more than a total of five rocket engines 
designed or manufactured in the Russian Federation that prior 
to February 1, 2014, were either fully paid for by the 
contractor or covered by a legally binding commitment of the 
contractor to fully pay for such rocket engines. The amendment 
would also add an additional exception which would allow 
contracts, not covered under the other exceptions, that are 
awarded for the procurement of property or services for space 
launch activities that include the use of not more than a total 
of four additional rocket engines designed or manufactured in 
the Russian Federation. Therefore, the agreement allows for a 
total of nine Russian rocket engines, aside from the waiver 
authority and the existing contract number FA8811-13-C-0003 
awarded on December 18, 2013. Of those nine engines, not more 
than four additional rocket engines can be procured from the 
Russian Federation as five of the nine allowed under the 
(c)(1)(B) exception would have already been fully paid for as 
of February 1, 2014.
      The existing exception on the placement of orders or the 
exercise of options under the contract number FA8811-13-C-0003 
and awarded on December 18, 2013 and the existing waiver remain 
unchanged and unaffected.
      The conferees believe that the continued reliance on 
Russian rocket engines represents a significant risk to our 
national security and that their use should be minimized to the 
greatest extent practicable while maintaining assured access to 
space and competition.
      Consistent with the limitations established by this 
provision, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, to 
evaluate options for an executable backup plan for assured 
access to space that maintains competition as feasible. The 
conferees expect the report to consider options in the event of 
a national emergency including using a Delta launch vehicle, 
relying on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's 
launch capability, acquiring or leveraging space launch 
services provided by international partners consistent with the 
National Space Transportation Policy, or any other options that 
the Secretary deems feasible. The report shall include 
identification of requirements, feasibility, costs, 
infrastructure, security, timelines, required authorities and 
risks and benefits associated with each option considered. The 
Secretary shall submit the results in the form of a briefing to 
the appropriate congressional committees no later than April 
15, 2016.

the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program and that 
the acquisition strategy and contracting plan should eliminate 
the currently structured EELV launch capability (ELC) 
arrangement after the current contractual obligations, among 
other statements. The provision would require the Secretary of 
the Air Force to discontinue the current ELC arrangement by the 
latter of either the date on which the Secretary determines 
that the obligations of the contracts relating to such 
arrangement have been met, or by December 31, 2020. The 
provision would also require the Secretary to apply consistent 
and appropriate standards to certified EELV providers with 
respect to certified cost and pricing data, and audits, in 
accordance with section 2306a of title 10, United States Code; 
would require the Secretary to develop and carry out a 10-year 
acquisition strategy for the EELV program, in accordance with 
section 2273 of title 10, United States Code, and other 
elements of the provision; would require any contract for 
launch services to account for the value of the ELC arrangement 
per contract line item numbers in the bid price of the offeror 
as appropriate per launch; and would require a report on the 
acquisition strategy.
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1604) 
that would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from awarding a 
contract, renewing a contract, or maintaining a separate 
contract line item for the procurement of property or services 
for space launch capabilities under the Evolved Expendable 
Launch Vehicle (EELV) program. The provision would allow for 
the Secretary to waive the requirement if the Secretary 
determines that: (1) awarding or renewing, or maintaining a 
separate contract line item for launch capabilities is 
necessary for the national security interests of the United 
States and the contract or contract line item does not support 
space launch activities using rocket engines designed or 
manufactured in the Russian Federation; and (2) failing to 
award or renew such a contract or maintain such a contract line 
item would have significant consequences to national security 
and result in the significant loss of life or property or 
economic harm. The provision would not apply to the placement 
of orders or the exercise of options under the contract 
numbered FA8811-13-C-003 and awarded on December 18, 2013. That 
exception would expire on September 30, 2019.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike 
the sense of Congress language; revise the date for 
discontinuing the current ELC arrangement to not later than 
December 31, 2019 for existing contracts using rocket engines 
designed or manufactured in the Russian Federation and not 
later than December 31, 2020 for existing contracts using 
domestic rocket engines; and clarify language concerning the 
acquisition strategy required.

Allocation of funding for evolved expendable launch vehicle program 
        (sec. 1609)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1605) 
that would realign the cost share of the Evolved Expendable 
Launch Vehicle (EELV) Launch Capabilities (ELC) between the Air 
Force and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The 
provision would require, for fiscal years 2017, 2018, or 2019, 
that the Air Force request for ELC funding bear the same ratio 
to the total number of Air Force cores to be procured under the 
Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Launch Services (ELS).
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the 
Director of the Office of Management and Budget to submit a 
certification with the budgets for fiscal years 2017, 2018, and 
2019 that the cost share between the Air Force and the National 
Reconnaissance Office for the evolved expendable launch vehicle 
launch capability program equitably reflects the appropriate 
allocation of funding for the Air Force and the National 
Reconnaissance Office, respectively, based on the launch 
schedule and national mission forecast. The amendment would 
also require sufficient rationale to justify such cost share.

Procurement of wideband satellite communications (sec. 1610)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1607) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to designate a senior 
Department of Defense official to procure wideband satellite 
communications, both military and commercial, to meet the 
requirements of the Department. Additionally, this section 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
congressional defense committees, a plan to meet the 
requirements of the Department for satellite communications, 
including identification of roles and responsibilities, no 
later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1609) that would require the Department of Defense Executive 
Agent for Space to submit by January 31, 2016 a plan to the 
congressional defense committees for consolidating the 
acquisition of commercial satellite communications (COMSATCOM) 
services from across the Department of Defense into a program 
office in the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center. The 
plan would require consolidation to take place within a 3-year 
period. It would also require an assessment of the current 
management and overhead costs, a projection of the consolidated 
management and overhead costs, and an estimate of the cost of 
consolidation. The provision would require the Director of Cost 
Assessment and Program Evaluation to review and validate each 
of the estimates.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Secretary of Defense to submit a plan for the consolidation 
of the acquisition of wideband satellite communications. The 
amendment would require the Secretary to identify and designate 
a single acquisition agent and implementation of the 
consolidation plan. The amendment would also allow the 
Secretary to forgo implementation if the Secretary determines 
that the implementation will require significant additional 
funding or is not in the interests of national security.

Analysis of alternatives for wide-band communications (sec. 1611)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1611) 
that would require an analysis of alternatives for the 
replacement of the Wideband Global Satellite System with a 
report due to the congressional defense committees by March 31, 
2017. The analysis required shall take into account future 
bandwidth of space, air, and ground communications systems.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Modification of pilot program for acquisition of commercial satellite 
        communication services (sec. 1612)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1609) that 
would modify an existing pilot program for acquisition of 
commercial satellite communications services by removing the 
requirement to use the working capital fund and authorize 
multiple methods or pathfinder efforts to be used within the 
pilot program. Additionally, the Secretary would have to 
establish metrics to track the progress of meeting the 
objectives of the program and provide annual briefings on the 
progress of the pilot program, concurrent with the submission 
of the budget request in each year from fiscal year 2017 
through fiscal year 2020.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1612) that would direct the Department of Defense to seek to 
achieve order-of-magnitude improvements in communications 
capability as a goal of pilot programs for commercial satellite 
communications.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Secretary of Defense to conduct the pilot program, remove 
the requirement to use the working capital fund for the pilot 
program and authorize multiple methods or pathfinder efforts to 
be used within the pilot program. The amendment would also 
direct the Department to seek to achieve order-of-magnitude 
improvements in communications capability as a goal of pilot 
programs for commercial satellite communications. The conferees 
believe that Department of Defense should use this program to 
explore new and innovative ways to acquire commercial satellite 
communications for the benefit of the warfighter and the 
taxpayers. This should include new activities to meet the goals 
established in the pilot program while also leveraging the 
Department's pathfinder efforts.

Integrated policy to deter adversaries in space (sec. 1613)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1614) that 
would state a sense of Congress regarding space defense, as 
outlined in the National Space Policy of 2010.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1601) that would require the President to establish an 
interagency process to develop a policy to deter adversaries in 
space. This integrated deterrence policy would be developed 
with the objectives of (1) reducing risks to the United States 
and its allies in space; and (2) protecting and preserving the 
rights, access, capabilities, use, and freedom of action of the 
United States in space and the right of the United States to 
respond to an attack in space and, if necessary, deny 
adversaries the use of space capabilities hostile to the 
national interests of the United States. The provision would 
require the President to provide a report setting forth the 
deterrence policy and the answers to Enclosure 1, regarding 
offensive space control policy, of the classified annex to this 
Act, to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives 
within 180 days of the date of enactment. If the report 
required and the answers to Enclosure 1 are not provided within 
180 days of the date of enactment, the provision would 
prohibit, until provided, the obligation or expenditure of 
$10.0 million of the amounts authorized to be appropriated or 
otherwise made available to the Department of Defense for 
fiscal year 2016 to provide support services to the Executive 
Office of the President.
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.

Prohibition on reliance on China and Russia for space-based weather 
        data (sec. 1614)

would prohibit reliance on space-based weather data from the 
Government of the People's Republic of China or the Government 
of the Russian Federation, and would require the Secretary of 
Defense to certify that the Department of Defense does not rely 
on, or in the future does not plan to rely on, space-based 
weather data for national security purposes, that is provided 
by the Government of the People's Republic of China, the 
Government of the Russian Federation, or an entity owned or 
controlled by the Government of China or the Government of 
Russia.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

Limitation on availability of funds for weather satellite follow-on 
        system (sec. 1615)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1608) that 
would limit any funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act 
or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 for the 
weather satellite follow-on system until the Secretary of 
Defense provides a briefing to the congressional defense 
committees on a plan to address the requirements of the 
Department of Defense for cloud characterization and theater 
weather imagery, and that such plan will not negatively affect 
the commanders of the combatant commands and will meet the 
requirements of the Department for cloud characterization and 
theater weather imagery.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would change 
the limitation of funds from a full limitation to a limitation 
on half of the funds.
      The conferees are aware and supportive of the efforts to 
reassess the appropriate portions of the analysis of 
alternatives (AoA) for space-based environmental monitoring in 
consideration of the changes that have occurred since the 
original AoA that was completed.

Limitations on availability of funds for the Defense Meteorological 
        Satellite program (sec. 1616)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1607) 
that would prohibit the use of funds authorized to be 
appropriated in fiscal year 2016 and any unobligated funds made 
available for appropriation in fiscal year 2015 for the Defense 
Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) or the launch of 
Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellite #20 (DMSP-
20) until the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff jointly certify to the congressional 
defense committees that: (1) relying on civil and international 
contributions to meet space-based environmental monitoring 
requirements is insufficient or is a risk to national security 
and launching DMSP-20 will meet those requirements; (2) 
launching DMSP-20 is the most affordable solution to meeting 
requirements validated by the Joint Requirements Oversight 
Council; and (3) nonmaterial solutions within the Department of 
Defense, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 
(NOAA), or National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) 
are incapable of providing a solution for cloud 
characterization and theater weather requirements as validated 
by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that reduces the 
fence in fiscal year 2015 to half of any unobligated funds made 
available for appropriation and clarifies the elements of the 
certification.

Streamline commercial space launch activities (sec. 1617)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1613)

provision required the President, not later than 270 days after 
the date of enactment, which occurred on December 26, 2013, to 
submit to the congressional defense committees a report setting 
forth that integrated policy to deter adversaries in 
cyberspace. The report required has not been provided. The 
conferees believe that an integrated policy to deter 
adversaries in cyberspace is essential to ensuring the national 
security of the United States and countering the cyber threats 
posed by our adversaries. The conferees remain concerned that 
the failure to establish a well-articulated strategy for 
deterring potential adversaries from conducting cyber attacks, 
emboldens our adversaries and increases the likelihood of cyber 
attacks in the near future.

Prohibitions on providing certain missile defense information to 
        Russian Federation (sec. 1671)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1661) that 
would prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated 
for the Department of Defense to provide the Russian Federation 
with ``hit-to-kill'' technology and telemetry data for missile 
defense interceptors or target vehicles and information 
relating to the velocity at burnout of missile defense 
interceptors or targets of the United States. This provision 
would also provide the President with a single use waiver to 
provide Russia with information regarding ballistic missile 
early warning in the event the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, and the 
Commander of U.S. European Command jointly certify to the 
President and the congressional defense committees that the 
provision of such information is required because of a failure 
of the early warning system of Russia. The provision would 
allow the prohibitions to expire on January 1, 2031.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1659) that would amend Section 1246(c)(2) of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-
66; 127 Stat. 923), as amended by Section 1243(2)(A) of the 
Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense

Stat. 3564) to extend the limitation on providing certain 
sensitive missile defense information to the Russian Federation 
through fiscal year 2017.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that removes the 
President's single use waiver, clarifies that the provision 
does not prohibit the United States from providing early 
warning data to the Russian Federation, and allows the 
provision to expire on January 1, 2017.

Prohibition on integration of missile defense systems of Russian 
        Federation into missile defense systems of United States (sec. 
        1672)

appropriated for programs related to the Patriot lower tier air 
and missile defense capability that depend specifically on the 
results of the analysis of alternatives (AOA) regarding the 
Patriot lower tier air and missile defense capability of the 
Army, may be obligated or expended until the results of the AOA 
are submitted to the congressional defense committees.
      This section would also provide that the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics could 
waive the application of the limitation in this section if the 
Under Secretary determines that it is necessary to prevent an 
unacceptable risk to mission performance of the Patriot system 
and notifies the congressional defense committees of the 
decision to use such waiver authority.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would reduce 
the limitation to 30 days after the submission of the AOA to 
the congressional defense committees.
      The committees understand that the AOA will be completed 
by August 2015, prior to the beginning of fiscal year 2016. The 
committees do not intend to limit funding for programs or 
technology that could support Patriot modernization regardless 
of the options chosen based on the AOA. The committees believe 
a modernized Patriot capability is vital to a robust air and 
missile defense capability of the Army, and that such 
capability is further required for the protection of deployed 
U.S. Armed Forces and allied forces. The committees are 
committed to the modernization of Patriot and, elsewhere in 
this Act, recommend full funding of the budget request for 
these activities.

would require the Commander of U.S. European Command, the 
Commander of U.S. Central Command, and the Commander of U.S. 
Pacific Command to submit to the Secretary of Defense and the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff an assessment of the opportunities for 
integration and interoperability of air and missile defense 
capabilities of the United States with those capabilities of 
allies of the United States, including carrying out the 
planning, risk assessments, policy development and concept of 
operations development necessary to assure the integration and 
interoperability of U.S. and allied air and missile defense 
capabilities by December 31, 2017.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar amendment.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would include 
interoperability in the title and that would make it clear that 
such integration and interoperability should be ensured to the 
extent that specific integration arrangements are agreeable to

with AAW capability no later than December 31, 2018. It would 
also require the Secretary to evaluate the feasibility, 
benefit, and cost of using the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile or 
the Standard Missile-2 in providing the anti-air warfare 
capability. Additionally, it would require the Secretary of 
Defense to study no less than three sites in the U.S. European 
Command (EUCOM) area of responsibility for the deployment of 
the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery; ensure 
that the THAAD battery is available for rotational deployment 
to the EUCOM area of responsibility; and to examine sites to 
pre-position such THAAD battery if such pre-position is 
necessary for military requirements.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1653) that would express the sense of the Congress that the 
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the relevant 
combatant command, should ensure that arrangements are in 
place, including support from North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization (NATO) allies, to provide anti-air defense 
capability at all NATO missile defense sites in support of 
phases 2 and 3 of the European Phased Adaptive Approach. Not 
later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional 
defense committees a report describing the plan of the 
Secretary to provide anti-air defense capability at the sites 
and the contributions being made by NATO to support the 
provision of the anti-air defense capability.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would state the 
sense of the Congress that the Secretary of Defense should 
ensure that arrangements are in place, including support from 
other members of NATO and the host nations, to provide air 
defense capabilities at the Aegis Ashore sites in Romania and 
Poland by not later than June 1, 2019. The conference agreement 
would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
the Secretary of State, to submit a request to NATO to support 
an air defense capability at the Aegis Ashore sites in Romania 
and Poland. The Secretary shall submit a notification to the 
appropriate congressional committees by not later than April 1, 
2016, as to whether NATO has agreed in principle to provide 
such capability. Not later than 180 days after the enactment of 
this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the

the air and ballistic missile threat to United States military 
installations in Europe, including the Naval Shore Facility in 
Devesulu, Romania and the planned site in Redzikowo, Poland. 
The conferees also direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure, 
not later than 180 days after enactment, that a terminal high 
altitude area defense battery is available for rotational 
deployment to the area of responsibility of the United States 
European Command unless the Secretary notifies the 
congressional defense committees that such a battery is needed 
in another combatant command's area of responsibility. The 
Secretary of Defense shall also implement the direction 
contained in the classified annex of this Act bearing on this 
matter.

the funds are provided to Israel solely for funding the 
procurement of long-lead components and that the long-lead 
procurement will be conducted in a manner that maximizes co-
production in the United States without incurring additional 
non-recurring engineering activity or cost. The Director of the 
Missile Defense Agency would also be required to submit to the 
Congress, at the same time the President submits to Congress 
the budget request for fiscal year 2017, a plan to achieve a 
rate of co-production by United States industry of parts and 
components of the David's Sling Weapon System at a rate that is 
not less than 50 percent.

Boost phase defense system (sec. 1680)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1672) that 
would require the Secretary of Defense to prioritize technology 
investments to develop and field a boost phase missile defense 
system by fiscal year 2022 and ensure it can benefit multiple 
warfighter requirements. It would also require the Director of 
the Missile Defense Agency establish a senior level advisory 
group to recommend to the Director promising technologies that 
the Director can evaluate for use as a boost phase missile 
defense layer and then provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees no later than May 1, 2016 on the 
recommendations of the advisory group.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
1658) that would prioritize technology investments in the 
Department of Defense to support efforts by the Missile Defense 
Agency (MDA) to develop and deploy a boost phase airborne laser 
weapon system by fiscal year 2025. The provision encourages 
collaboration and cooperation between MDA and other Department 
of Defense components, and directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide the congressional defense committees with a report, 
within 120 days of enactment of this Act, of Department of 
Defense efforts to develop and deploy a boost phase airborne 
laser weapon system for missile defense.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would 
prioritize feasible and cost-effective efforts, would eliminate 
the requirement for a senior level advisory group and require a 
report on the efforts of the Department of Defense to develop 
and deploy an airborne or other boost phase defense system by 
fiscal year 2025. The report should also include 
recommendations from industry on emerging technologies that 
could be applied for boost phase missile defense, and an 
evaluation by MDA of those recommendations. The conferees also 
encourage the Department of Defense to develop concept of 
operations for those boost phase missile defense systems for 
which it intends to develop prototypes to accompany its fiscal 
year 2017 budget request.

        defense of the United States homeland (sec. 1681)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1671) that 
would express the sense of Congress that the ballistic missile 
defense of the United States homeland is the highest priority 
of the Missile Defense Agency; that the Missile Defense Agency 
is appropriately prioritizing the design, development, and 
deployment of the redesigned kill vehicle; and, the multiple-
object kill vehicle is critical to the future of the ballistic 
missile defense of the U.S. homeland. This section would 
require that the Director of the Missile Defense Agency develop 
a highly reliable multiple-object kill vehicle for the Ground-
Based Midcourse Defense system, with rigorous flight testing to 
occur no later than 2020, and the deployment of such vehicle as 
soon as practicable thereafter. This section would also require 
that the management of the multiple-object kill vehicle program 
be undertaken by the Deputy Director of the Missile Defense 
Agency and would require the Director of the Missile Defense 
Agency to provide the funding profile required for the 
multiple-object kill vehicle program to the congressional 
defense committees no later than 30 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act.
      The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1656) 
that would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency 
to conduct flight testing of the multi-object kill vehicle by 
not later than 2020 and field such vehicle as soon as 
technically practicable. The provision would also direct that 
the management of the multi-object kill vehicle program shall 
report directly to the Deputy Director of the Missile Defense 
Agency.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
the deployment of the multi-object kill vehicle as early as 
practicable after rigorous flight testing is completed and 
would require the fiscal year 2017 budget submission to reflect 
the funding profile necessary to meet the objectives of the 
multiple object kill vehicle program.

Requirement to replace capability enhancement I exoatmospheric kill 
        vehicles (sec. 1682)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1657) 
that would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency 
to ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, that all 
remaining ground-based interceptors of the Ground-Based 
Midcourse Defense system that are armed with the capability 
enhancement I exoatmospheric kill vehicle are replaced with the 
redesigned exoatmospheric kill vehicle before September 30, 
2022.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.

Designation of preferred location of additional missile defense site in 
        the United States and plan for expediting deployment time of 
        such site (sec. 1683)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1678) that 
would require the Director of the Missile Defense Agency, in 
consultation with the Commander of the United States Northern 
Command, to designate the preferred location in the United 
States for the potential future deployment of a missile defense 
site not later than 30 days after the Secretary of Defense 
publishes the draft environmental impact statements (EIS) being 
conducted for the candidate sites.
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1651) 
that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan 
for expediting the deployment time for a potential future 
continental United States interceptor site by at least 2 years, 
and submit to the congressional defense committees a report on 
such plan not later than 30 days after the transmittal of the 
EIS required by the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2013. The provision would require the Comptroller 
General to assess the Department's report on the deployment 
plan and submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees with findings and recommendations.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
the Director of the Missile Defense Agency, in consultation 
with the Commander of United States Northern Command, to 
designate the preferred location in the United States for the 
potential future deployment of a missile defense site not later 
than 30 days after the Secretary of Defense publishes the draft 
EIS pursuant to the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2013. The determination of such site should be 
based on operational effectiveness and cost effectiveness in 
addition to the results of the EIS. The Secretary would be 
permitted to submit any updates to the designation that he 
finds appropriate after the final EIS is submitted. According 
to the Missile Defense Agency, the draft EIS is anticipated to 
be completed and published in the Federal Register by January 
2016 and the EIS is anticipated to be finalized between April 
and July of 2016.
      Not later than 30 days after the Secretary of Defense 
completes the final designation of the missile defense site, 
the Secretary of Defense shall develop and submit to the 
congressional defense committees a plan for expediting the 
deployment time for a potential future continental interceptor 
site by at least 2 years, in the case that the decision is made 
to proceed with such deployment. Not later than 90 days after 
the Secretary of Defense submits the plan to Congress, the 
Comptroller General of the United States is to provide its 
assessment of that plan. The Secretary of Defense may not 
obligate or expend such planning and design funds for military 
construction as are authorized in this Act until such date as 
the final EIS is published.

Additional missile defense sensor coverage for the protection of United 
        States homeland (sec. 1684)

capability of not less than 120 days per year. Prior to 
relocating the sea-based X-band radar, the Director of the 
Missile Defense Agency (MDA) would be required to certify that 
the relocation would not impact the missile defense of Hawaii. 
Additionally, this provision would require the Director of MDA 
to begin siting studies, environmental impact surveys, and any 
other appropriate studies and evaluations to base the sea-based 
X-band radar at a site on the East Coast.
      The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1652) 
that would require the Director of MDA, in cooperation with the 
relevant combatant command, to deploy by not later than 
December 31, 2020, a long-range discrimination radar or other 
appropriate tracking and discrimination sensor capabilities in 
a location optimized to support the defense of the homeland of 
the United States against emerging long-range ballistic missile 
threats from Iran.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express 
the sense of the Congress that additional missile defense 
sensor discrimination capabilities are needed to enhance the 
protection of the United States homeland against potential 
long-range ballistic missiles from Iran. Accordingly, the 
Director of MDA shall, in cooperation with the relevant 
combatant command, deploy by not later than December 31, 2020, 
a long-range discrimination radar or other appropriate sensor 
capability in a location optimized to support the defense of 
the homeland of the United States from emerging long-range 
ballistic missile threats from Iran. The Director of MDA shall 
commence any siting studies and other required evaluations 
necessary to carry out the homeport reassignment of the SBX to 
the east coast. The Director of MDA shall commence a study to 
evaluate at least three possible additional locations, selected 
by the Director of MDA, that would be best suited for future 
deployment of an advanced missile defense sensor site at a 
location, whether in the United States or not, optimized 
against threats from Iran. In the event that the Department of 
Defense determines to move the SBX to the east coast, such a 
relocation may not be carried out until the date on which the 
Director of MDA certifies to the congressional defense 
committees that Hawaii will have adequate missile defense 
coverage prior to any reassignment of the homeport of the SBX. 
The Director of MDA shall include in the budget request for 
each fiscal year until December 31, 2020 an update on his 
progress in implementing this provision.

           Title XXIV--Defense Agencies Military Construction

Summary

      The budget request included authorization of 
appropriations of $2.3 billion for military construction for 
the defense agencies and $58.7 million for family housing for 
the defense agencies for fiscal year 2016.
      The conference agreement includes authorization of 
appropriations of $2.3 billion for military construction for 
the defense agencies and $58.7 million for family housing for 
the defense agencies for fiscal year 2016.
      The budget request included $239.9 million for the 
Hospital Replacement, Increment 7 at Fort Bliss, Texas. The 
conferees 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 
Defense has exceeded its ability to fully expend the funding 
requested for fiscal year 2016. As such, the conference 
agreement recommends $189.9 million, a reduction of $50.0 
million, for this project.
      The budget request included $47.2 million for the SOF 
Logistics Support Unit One Ops Fac. #2 at Naval Base Coronado, 
California. The conferees note that the utilities needed to 
support this facility are not available and are not programmed 
until fiscal year 2017. Without these utilities, the conferees 
note that the facility would not be complete and useable. While 
the conferees support the requirement for this project, and the 
conference agreement includes $47.2 million for this project, 
the conferees expect the Department of Defense to sequence the 
construction of this project in a manner that ensures the 
required supporting utilities are available at the time the 
construction is complete.
      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 
military construction project using funds from this account 
since 2008. As such, the conference agreement recommends no 
funds, a reduction of $10.0 million, for this program.
      In addition, the conferees recommend an increase of 
funding for a military construction project not included in the 
budget request, $30.0 million for the Missile Defense Agency 
Military Construction Planning and Design activities for an 
East Coast site for homeland missile defense.

2402).
      The House recedes with a technical amendment.

        authorized under section 2401(b) of the Military 
        Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 
        (division B of Public Law 112-239; 126 Stat. 2129) for 
        the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System Complex at 
        Deveselu, Romania);

        authorized under section 2401(a) of the Military 
        Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 
        (division B of Public Law 112-81; 125 Stat. 1672), as 
        amended by section 2404(a) of the Military Construction 
        Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (division B

        at Fort Meade, Maryland);

        authorized under section 2401(a) of the Military 
        Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 
        (division B of Public Law 112-81; 125 Stat. 1672) for 
        an Ambulatory Care Center at Joint Base Andrews, 
        Maryland);
            (4) $54,300,000 (the balance of the amount 
        authorized under section 2401(a) of the Military 
        Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 
        (division B of Public Law 112-81; 125 Stat. 1672) for 
        an Ambulatory Care Center at Joint Base San Antonio, 
        Texas); and
            (5) $123,827,000 (the balance of the amount 
        authorized as a Military Construction, Defense-Wide 
        project by title X of the Supplemental Appropriations 
        Act, 2009 (Public Law 111-32; 123 Stat. 1888) for a 
        data center at Camp Williams, Utah).
      The conferees also note that overlapping statutory 
authorities between title 10, United States Code, and title 50, 
United States Code, have resulted in challenges and delays in 
executing a recent emergency military construction project. 
Specifically, the overlap found in section 2803 of title 10, 
United States Code, and section 3304 of title 50, United States 
Code, resulted in a significant delay in a request for 
emergency funds. Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary 
of Defense, in consultation with the Director of National 
Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees and the congressional intelligence 
committees not later than March 1, 2016, on the statutory 
authorities for infrastructure investments that support both 
the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community. The 
briefing should include a comparison of authorities found in 
both titles for infrastructure investments, a discussion of any 
discrepancies between the authorities, the impact that 
identified discrepancies may have on the timely execution of an 
infrastructure investment, and, if necessary, recommendations 
for legislation to clarify or streamline the statutory 
authorities to ensure the timely and effective execution of an 
infrastructure investment.
      Furthermore, the conferees expect supporting classified 
material for any ongoing or future classified projects to be 
delivered to the congressional defense committees in a more 
timely fashion, to ensure proper oversight and consideration is 
given to these projects.

infrastructure capacity, and assess the value of retaining 
certain excess infrastructure to accommodate contingency, 
mobilization, or surge requirements. In addition, this 
provision would require the Comptroller General of the United 
States to prepare an evaluation of such force-structure plans

Fiscal Year 2014 (P.L. 113-66).
      The conferees believe that projects which are directly

fiscally responsible, are appropriate investments for the 
Department of Defense, but projects without a direct military 
connection should be funded through local or other non-defense 
federal funding.

national laboratory to one that is a national security 
laboratory as defined in section 3821 of the National Nuclear 
Security Act (50 U.S.C. 2471). The amendment further uses 
``consultation'' rather than ``coordination'' with lab 
directors and adjusts timing of reports.

Prohibition on the availability of funds for the provision of defense 
        nuclear nonproliferation assistance to the Russian Federation 
        (sec. 3121)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3118) that 
would provide that none of the funds authorized to be 
appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal 
year 2016 for defense nuclear nonproliferation activities may 
be obligated or expended to enter into a contract with, or 
otherwise provide assistance to, the Russian Federation. The 
Secretary of Energy, without delegation, would be provided the 
authority to waive this prohibition if the Secretary submits a 
report to the appropriate congressional committees containing 
notification that such a waiver is in the national security 
interest of the United States, a justification for such waiver, 
and a period of 15 days elapses.
      The Senate amendment contains no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Prohibition on availability of funds for fixed site radiological portal 
        monitors in foreign countries (sec. 3122)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3117) that 
would prohibit any funds authorized by this Act or otherwise 
made available for fiscal year 2016 or any fiscal year 
thereafter for the National Nuclear Security Administration 
from being obligated or expended for the research and 
development, installation, or sustainment of fixed site 
radiological portal monitors or equipment for use in foreign 
countries. This section would clarify that this prohibition 
does not apply to such activities for mobile radiological 
inspection equipment.
      The Senate amendment had no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would prohibit 
fiscal year 2016 funds for installation of fixed site portal 
monitors in foreign countries after date of enactment until the 
DNI submits an assessment on whether and the extent to which 
fixed site and mobile radiological monitors address nuclear 
nonproliferation and smuggling threats; the contribution of 
other threat reduction programs and how well such programs 
address nuclear nonproliferation and smuggling threats; which 
programs have the greatest impact and cost-benefit for 
addressing nuclear nonproliferation and smuggling threats; and 
such other matters as the Director considers appropriate. The 
amendment also requires the Administrator for Nuclear Security 
to submit a plan by March 1, 2016 to transition sustainment of 
existing fixed site monitors, to the greatest extent possible, 
to host nation.

Limitation on availability of funds for certain arms control and 
        nonproliferation technologies (sec. 3123)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3120) that 
would prohibit any funds authorized to be appropriated by this 
Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2016 for the 
National Nuclear Security Administration's Defense Nuclear 
Nonproliferation program from being obligated or expended to 
develop nonproliferation or arms control verification or 
monitoring technologies beyond Technology Readiness Level 5 
(TRL 5) unless the Secretary of Energy certifies that such 
technologies are being developed to fulfill the rights or 
obligations of the United States under either: (1) a current 
arms control or nonproliferation treaty or agreement; or (2) a 
treaty or agreement that the Secretary expects will enter into 
force within 2 years. The Secretary would be required to submit 
this written certification to the appropriate congressional 
committees and include, for each technology the Secretary 
certifies for development beyond TRL 5, an identification of 
the amount of fiscal year 2016 funds that will used and how 
such development helps to fulfill the rights or obligations of 
the United States under the treaty or agreement.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes to the House with an amendment that 
would prohibit fiscal year 2016 funds to test or validate 
technologies in the Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control 
designed to be used to verify and monitor obligations under 
arms control treaties or other agreements to which U.S. is not 
a signatory until the Administrator submits a review to 
congressional defense committees. The review would be required 
to include the technology readiness level of the technology; 
the obligation under a treaty or other international agreement 
supported by the technology; and the purpose for which the 
technology is being developed or produced. The conferees notes 
that, based on information provided by the Administrator, the 
funding for the activities that would be limited by this 
provision is approximately $3.0 million.

Limitations on availability of funds for nuclear weapons dismantlement 
        (sec. 3124)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3121) that 
would provide that, of the funds authorized to be appropriated 
by this Act or otherwise made available for any of fiscal years 
2016 through 2020 for the National Nuclear Security 
Administration (NNSA), not more than $50.0 million may be 
obligated or expended in each such fiscal year to carry out 
nuclear weapons dismantlement and disposition activities. This 
section would also prohibit any funds authorized to be 
appropriated by this Act, or otherwise made available for any 
of fiscal years 2016 through 2020, to be obligated or expended 
to dismantle a nuclear weapon of the United States unless: (1) 
the nuclear weapon was retired on or before September 30, 2008; 
(2) the Administrator for Nuclear Security certifies that the 
components of the nuclear weapon are directly required for the 
purposes of a current life extension program; or (3) the 
President certifies that the nuclear weapon is being dismantled 
pursuant to a nuclear arms reduction treaty or similar 
international agreement that has entered into force after the 
date of enactment of this Act and was approved with the advice 
and consent of the Senate or by an Act of Congress. This 
section would also prohibit any funding authorized to be 
appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for any of 
fiscal years 2016 through 2020 from being used to dismantle or 
dispose of a W84 nuclear weapon.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit the 
$50.0 million ceiling to fiscal year 2016 and prohibit the use 
of fiscal year 2016 funds for the dismantlement of the W84 
warhead. There is an exception for maintenance and surveillance 
for weapons safety and reliability.

                     Subtitle C--Plans and Reports

Long-term plan for meeting national security requirements for 
        unencumbered uranium (sec. 3131)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3112) 
that would require the Secretary of Energy to submit a plan, on 
even number years, with the President's budget submission, for 
meeting the national security requirements for unencumbered 
uranium through 2065.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would change the 
reporting requirement to terminate in 2026.

Defense nuclear nonproliferation management plan (sec. 3132)

      The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 3113) that 
required in each odd numbered year a management plan of defense 
nuclear nonproliferation programs of the National Nuclear 
Security Administration.
      The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 3132) 
amend section 3122(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) by striking the date 
of 2016 and inserting 2020. This section would also amend such 
subsection to clarify that, in the Secretary of Energy's annual 
assessment, the Secretary must (1) identify any highly-enriched 
uranium around the world that is obligated by the United States 
and (2) provide a list, by country and by site, of the 
separated plutonium around the world, identify such plutonium 
that is obligated by the United States, and provide an 
assessment of the vulnerability of such plutonium to theft or 
diversion.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would add the 
House provision to the Senate provision, expand the 
programmatic definitions of activities of the nuclear 
nonproliferation program that must be reported on and make 
technical and clarifying changes.

Plan for deactivation and decommissioning of nonoperational defense 
        nuclear facilities (sec. 3133)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3141) that 
would require the Secretary of Energy to establish and carry 
out a plan under which the Administrator for Nuclear Security 
transfers to the Assistant Secretary of Energy for 
Environmental Management the responsibility for decontaminating 
and decommissioning facilities of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration that the Secretary of Energy determines are not 
operational as of the date of the enactment of this Act and 
meet the requirements for such transfer.
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3114) 
that would that would require the Secretary of Energy to 
develop a plan that would require a cost-benefit analysis of 
defense nuclear facilities that require deactivation and 
decommissioning as to whether they should be kept in cold shut 
down awaiting demolition or accelerated to save long term 
storage costs. The plan will be required every even calendar 
year no later than March 31, 2016 and end after the fifth 
report submission on March 31, 2026.
      The House recedes with an amendment to require within the 
first report the Secretary to implement a plan under which the 
Administrator for Nuclear Security to transfer by March 31, 
2019 to the Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management 
the responsibility for decontaminating and decommissioning 
facilities of the National Nuclear Security Administration that 
the Secretary of Energy determines are nonoperational as of 
September 30, 2015 and meet the requirements of the Office of 
Environmental Management for such transfer.

Assessment of emergency preparedness of defense nuclear facilities 
        (sec. 3134)

      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3116) 
that would require the Secretary of Energy to include in each 
award-fee evaluation conducted of a management and operating 
contract for a Department of Energy defense nuclear facility in 
2016, or any even-numbered year thereafter, an assessment of 
the adequacy of the emergency preparedness of that facility, 
including an assessment of the seniority level of employees and 
contractors of the Department of Energy that participate in 
emergency preparedness exercises at that facility.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 
recurring reports while focusing the assessment on the 
performance and participation of the management and operating 
contractor employees and not senior employees of the Department 
of Energy, since the laboratory award fee is based on 
performance of the contractor employees. The conferees direct 
the Secretary of Energy to provide a report to the 
congressional defense committees no later than October 31, 2016 
on the number and level of senior Department of Energy 
employees that participated in such exercises for fiscal year 
2016.

Modifications to cost-benefit analyses for competition of management 
        and operating contracts (sec. 3135)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3114) that 
would amend section 3121 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for fiscal year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to extend the a 
reporting requirement through fiscal year 2019 and require that 
the report submitted by the Administrator for Nuclear Security 
must include a description of the factors considered and 
processes used by the Administrator to determine whether to 
compete or extend a contract to manage and operate a facility 
of the nuclear security enterprise, and whether and which 
activities at the facility should be covered under the 
management and operating contract.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
3122) that would amend section 3121 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to 
make technical corrections to increase the utility of reports 
on competition for management and operating contracts at 
facilities of the National Nuclear Security Administration and 
change the timing of the Government Accountability Office's 
review to assess whether estimated cost savings and other 
benefits are actually occurring as planned.
      The House recedes with an amendment that combines the two 
provisions, requires the Government Accountability Office to 
provide a briefing on their initial review 180 days after the 
required report submitted, and makes certain technical and 
conforming amendments.

Interagency review of applications for the transfer of United States 
        civil nuclear technology (sec. 3136)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3119) that 
would require that, prior to the approval by the Administrator 
of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) of any 
part 810 authorization (regarding the transfer of certain civil 
nuclear technology) for a covered country with a nuclear naval 
propulsion program, the Director of National Intelligence and 
the Chief of Naval Operations would have to jointly submit an 
assessment to the appropriate congressional committees on the 
risks of diversion of such technology and the likely 
consequences of its diversion to such foreign state's military 
nuclear program. This section would also require that, not less 
than 14 days prior to the approval of any part 810 
authorization for a covered country, the Administrator of the 
NNSA would have to certify to the appropriate congressional 
committees that there is sufficient diversion control and such 
transfer presents a minimal risk of diversion of such 
technology to a military program that would degrade the 
technical advantage of the United States. The provision further 
required that not later than June 1, 2016, and quinquennially 
thereafter, the Chief of Naval Operations shall determine the 
critical civil nuclear technologies of the United States and 
notify the appropriate congressional committees of this list of 
technologies. The provision also requires that not later than 
30 days after the date on which the Director of National 
Intelligence determines that there is credible intelligence 
that United States civil nuclear technology has been diverted 
to a foreign country not covered by an authorization under 
section 57b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as amended (Public 
Law 83-703, 42 U.S.C. 2077), including an agreement for 
cooperation made pursuant to section 123 of the Atomic Energy 
Act of 1954 as amended (Public Law 83-703, 42 U.S.C. 2153), the 
Director shall notify the appropriate congressional committees 
of such determination. The House provision also required that 
the Secretary of Energy shall annually notify the appropriate 
congressional committees that each covered foreign country is 
in compliance with its obligations under any authorization made 
pursuant to section 57b, including an agreement for cooperation 
made pursuant to section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act, as 
amended. In addition the provision prohibits the Secretary of 
Energy from making an authorization under section 57b of the 
Atomic Energy Act with respect to a covered foreign country if 
a foreign person of the covered foreign country has been 
sanctioned under the Iran, North Korea, and Syria 
Nonproliferation Act (Public Law 106-178; 50 U.S.C. 1701 note) 
during the 5-year period preceding the date of the transfer 
being sought unless the President certifies to the appropriate 
congressional committees that the covered foreign country is 
taking adequate measures to prevent, or is making significant 
progress in preventing, transfers or acquisitions covered by 
section 2(a) of the Iran, North Korea, and Syria 
Nonproliferation Act (Public Law 106-178; 50 U.S.C. 1701 note). 
The House provision defined a covered country as one that is a 
nuclear-weapon state, as defined by Article IX (3) of the 
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, signed at 
Washington, London, and Moscow on July 1, 1968, but does not 
include the United Kingdom or France.
      The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require 
that every 90 days, the Secretary of Energy shall submit to the 
appropriate congressional committees a report that includes a 
listing and description of the authorizations to transfer 
United States civil nuclear technology to a covered foreign 
country (as defined in this provision) issued under section 57b 
of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2077(b)) during the 
preceding 90 days and a statement of whether each agency 
required to be consulted under that section or pursuant to 
regulation objected or sought condition to each such 
authorization.
      The amendment also would require that not later than 90 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and every 5 
years thereafter, the Secretary of Energy would be required to, 
in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of 
Commerce, the Secretary of Defense, the Director of National 
Intelligence, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, determine 
the critical United States civil nuclear technologies that 
should be protected from diversion to a military nuclear 
program of a covered foreign country (a nuclear weapons state 
as defined by the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear 
Weapons other than the United Kingdom or France), including 
with respect to a naval propulsion or weapons program and 
notify the appropriate congressional committees with respect to 
the technologies covered by the determination. The amendment 
also would require that not later than 14 days before 
authorizing the transfer of a technology covered by such 
determination, the Secretary of Energy would be required to 
submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report 
that includes a notification of the intention of the Secretary 
to authorize the transfer of such technology and a statement of 
whether any agency required to be consulted under such section 
57b or pursuant to regulation objected to or required 
conditions to such authorization of transfer. The amendment 
includes a waiver of the 14 day notification for an imminent 
radiological emergency provided within 7 days the Secretary 
certifies such a hazard exists, the justification and the 
information required in the original notification.
      The amendment would also require the Secretary of Energy 
to promptly revise part 810 of title 10, Code of Federal 
Regulations, to ensure that the Director of National 
Intelligence (DNI) is consulted with respect to the views of 
the intelligence community with respect to each authorization 
issued under section 57b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 
U.S.C. 2077(b)) for the transfer of United States civil nuclear 
technology to a covered foreign country before the 
determination to approve or disapprove the request for the 
authorization, and that he is provided with an opportunity to 
present the views of the Director and the Intelligence 
Community on the national security risks of the transfer, if 
any. It is expected that as part of developing this 
consultation process the Secretary of Energy and the DNI shall 
enter into the necessary inter-agency agreements that ensure 
consultation with the Intelligence Community occurs but gives 
the DNI the flexibility to manage its ongoing workload, while 
ensuring timely reviews of authorizations, and provides for the 
possibility that the views of the Intelligence Community may 
not have changed from its initial assessment. The Secretary of 
Energy shall include the results of consultations conducted 
with the DNI, on behalf of the Intelligence Community, in each 
report describing an authorization and each notification with 
respect to an authorization involving a critical technology.
      The amendment would require the Secretary of Energy to 
annually submit to the appropriate congressional committees a 
report that includes an assessment of whether each covered 
foreign country is in compliance with its obligations under any 
authorization for the transfer of United States civil nuclear 
technology under section 57b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 
(42 U.S.C. 2077(b)) and with respect to any covered foreign 
country that is not in compliance with such obligations, a 
description of the efforts of the United States to bring the 
country into compliance with an evaluation of the result of 
such efforts, and an assessment of the options available to the 
Secretary as a result of the country not being in compliance. 
The report also requires an assessment of whether each end-user 
to which United States civil nuclear technology is transferred 
pursuant to an authorization under such section 57b is in 
compliance with the obligations of the end-user under that 
authorization and a description of any consequences for the 
end-user or the exporter of the technology if the end-user is 
not in compliance with such obligations.
      The amendment would further require that, concurrent with 
the submission to Congress of the budget for each fiscal year, 
the Secretary of Energy would be required to submit to the 
appropriate congressional committees a report on the activities 
of the Department of Energy associated with the review of 
applications for authorization under section 57b to transfer 
United States civil nuclear technology to any foreign country. 
The report would be required to include the number of 
applications for authorization under section 57b of the Atomic 
Energy Act to transfer United States civil nuclear technology 
to a foreign country submitted during the year preceding the 
submission of the report; the length of time each such 
application was under review; the number of such applications 
that were granted; and a description of efforts to streamline 
the review of such applications, taking into account the 
proliferation and diversion potential of end-users in the 
country to which United States civil nuclear technology would 
be transferred pursuant to such applications.
      The Director of National Intelligence would also be 
required to notify the Department of Energy and the appropriate 
congressional committees not later than 30 days after the date 
on which the Director determines there is credible intelligence 
that United States civil nuclear technology is being or has 
been diverted to a military program in a foreign country to 
which the transfer of the technology was authorized under 
section 57b or to a foreign country to which the transfer of 
the technology was not so authorized.
      The amendment would also require that not later than 60 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary 
of Energy shall issue guidance with respect to the use of 
authority of under section 234 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 
(42 U.S.C. 2282) to impose civil penalties, including fines and 
debarment, and to make referrals to the Attorney General for 
prosecution, for violations of the terms of authorizations for 
the transfer of United States civil nuclear technology issued 
under section 57b. The conferees believe that given the 
extensive amendments made to section 57b of the Atomic Energy 
Act of 1954 by section 302 of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Act 
of 1978 (Public Law 95-242, 42 U.S.C. 2077), which were made 
after the enactment of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 
(Public Law 93-438), that the Department of Energy should have 
justification to utilize section 234 of the Atomic Energy Act 
of 1954 as a means of civil enforcement.
      Finally, the amendment would require that not later than 
180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and 
annually thereafter, the President shall submit to the 
appropriate congressional committees a report describing the 
efforts of covered foreign countries to prevent the transfer of 
sensitive items, including efforts to improve the prevention of 
the transfer of such items; and assessing the adequacy of such 
efforts as defined by section 2(a) of the Iran, North Korea, 
and Syria Nonproliferation Act (Public Law 106-178; 50 U.S.C. 
1701 note).
      The conferees expect the Department of Energy shall take 
all precautions necessary in this section to protect 
proprietary information.

Governance and management of nuclear security enterprise (sec. 3137)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3133) that 
would require the Secretary of Energy and the Administrator for 
Nuclear Security to jointly establish a team of senior 
officials from the Department of Energy and the National 
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to develop and carry out 
an implementation plan to reform governance and management to 
improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the nuclear 
security enterprise. Additionally, it would require the 
Administrator to seek to enter into a joint agreement with the 
National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Public 
Administration to establish a panel of external, independent 
experts to evaluate the plan developed by the Department of 
Energy and NNSA and to evaluate the implementation of such 
plan.
      The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 
3123) that would require the Administrator of the National 
Nuclear Security Administration to enter into agreements with 
the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of 
Public Administration to assess implementation of 
recommendations of the Congressional Advisory Panel on the 
Governance of the Nuclear Security Enterprise that can be 
carried out without additional legislation. In addition to 
monitoring implementation, the agreement should specify that 
the two entities should determine whether the implementation 
was effective in addressing the problem it was intended to 
solve. The agreement shall utilize the procedures of the 
National Academies in reviewing and publishing the joint 
report.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment making certain 
technical and conforming amendments, including changing the 
date of submission of the implementation plan to be March 31, 
2016, with a final report by the Implementation Assessment 
Panel to 2020.

Annual report on the number of full time equivalent employees and 
        contractor employees (sec. 3138)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3111) that 
would amend section 3241A of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2441a) to require that, by 
October 1, 2016, the total number of employees within the 
Office of the Administrator may not exceed 1,350. This section 
would also amend section 3241 of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2441) by striking ``600'' and 
inserting ``450'' as the number of employees allowed to be 
appointed under the authority provided by such section.
      The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3119) 
that would permit the Administrator of the National Nuclear 
Security Administration (NNSA) to hire above the statutory 
limit of 1,690 full time positions using up to 100 exempt 
employees hired under section 3241 of the National Nuclear 
Security Administration Act (50 United States Code section 
2441).
      The House bill further contains a provision (sec. 3112) 
that would amend section 3241A of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2441a) to specify that the total 
number of full-time equivalent employees working under a 
service support contract of the NNSA may not exceed the number 
that is 30 percent of the number of employees of the Office of 
the Administrator authorized under subsection (a)(1) of such 
section 3241A. The Administrator for Nuclear Security would be 
required to not exceed this total number of full-time 
equivalent contractor employees unless, during each fiscal year 
in which the Administrator exceeds such authorized number, the 
Administrator submits a report to the congressional defense 
committees justifying such excess.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike 
section 3111 of the House bill and modify section 3112 of the 
House bill to require with each budget submission the National 
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) provide a report that 
provides the number of full time equivalent employees under 
section 3241A of the NNSA Act (50 U.S.C. 2441a), the number of 
service support contracts and whether the contracts are funded 
with program funds, the number of full time equivalent 
employees under each contract and the number in each contract 
that have been employed for more than 2 years.

Development of strategy on risks to nonproliferation caused by additive 
        manufacturing (sec. 3139)

      The House bill (sec. 3145) contained a provision that 
would require the President to develop and pursue a strategy to 
address the risks to the goals and policies of the United 
States regarding nuclear nonproliferation caused by the 
increased use of additive manufacture technology (including 3D 
Printing). This section would require the President to brief 
the appropriate congressional committees on the development and 
execution of such strategy not later than March 31, 2016, and 
every 120 days thereafter until January 1, 2019. Finally, this 
section would highlight the importance of pursuing such 
strategy at the Nuclear Security Summit in Chicago in 2016.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Plutonium pit production capacity (sec. 3140)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3143) that 
would express the sense of Congress that the requirement to 
create a modern, responsive nuclear infrastructure that 
includes the capability and capacity to produce, at minimum, 50 
to 80 pits per year, is a national security priority and 
delaying creation of this responsive infrastructure until the 
2030s is an unacceptable risk to the national security of the 
United States. Additionally, it would require the Chairman of 
the Nuclear Weapons Council to provide a briefing to 
congressional defense committees by March 1, 2016, on the 
annual plutonium pit production capacity requirement of the 
nuclear security enterprise.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Assessments on nuclear proliferation risks and nuclear nonproliferation 
        opportunities (sec. 3141)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3134) that 
would require the Director of National Intelligence to submit a 
report to the appropriate congressional committees, by March 1 
of each year from 2016 to 2020, containing an assessment and 
prioritization of international nuclear proliferation risks and 
nuclear nonproliferation opportunities and an assessment of the 
effectiveness of various means and programs for addressing such 
risks and opportunities.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes.

Analysis of alternatives for Mobile Guardian Transporter program (sec. 
        3142)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3144) that 
would require the Administrator for Nuclear Security to submit 
to the congressional defense committees the analysis of 
alternatives by the Administrator for the Mobile Guardian 
Transporter program within 60 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act. Additionally, it would also require the 
Secretary of Energy to include in the annual budget request 
submission, a separate, dedicated program element for the MGT 
program.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would eliminate 
the requirement for an independent assessment and clarify that 
the submitted report must contain a full and comprehensive 
analysis of alternatives. The conferees stress that the 
analysis of alternatives for the MGT program that is conducted 
and submitted to Congress should take into account all safety 
and security scenarios, as well as costs, benefits, and risks 
of various engineering and policy changes that could affect the 
program.

aspects of the Merchant Marine for fiscal year 2016.

security aspects of the Merchant Marine for fiscal years 2016 
and 2017.
      The Senate recedes with an amendment that would increase 
by $24.0 million to $210.0 million the amount authorized to be 
appropriated in subsection (5) for expenses to maintain and 
preserve a United States-flagged merchant marine to serve the 
national security needs of the United States under chapter 531

      The Senate recedes.

Melville Hall of United States Merchant Marine Academy (sec. 3505)

      The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3506) that 
would allow the Maritime Administrator to accept a gift from 
the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Alumni Association and 
Foundation for the purpose of renovating Melville Hall on the

reserve service obligations for U.S. Merchant Marine Academy 
(USMMA) graduates by providing clarity that graduates are 
required to apply for a position in the reserves of an armed 
force, maintain a Transportation Worker Identification 
Credential, and maintain a U.S. Coast Guard approved medical 
certificate. This section also would change the reserve service 
obligations of USMMA graduates from 6 to 8 years to conform

require the U.S. Coast Guard to implement certain class society 
certification standards.
      The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes.
      The conferees note the continued need for Maritime 
Security Program (MSP) vessels to meet national defense sealift 
needs. Section 53102(e)(3)(A) of title 46, United States Code, 
establishes a process for the U.S. Coast Guard to rely on 
classification societies to certify compliance for MSP vessels, 
both initially for reflag, and subsequently during renewal 
inspections, based solely on applicable international 
agreements, associated guidelines, and classification society 
rules. The conferees encourage the Coast Guard to use that 
process to the greatest extent practicable. The Service should 
not set up unnecessary barriers to entry for vessels the 
Department of Defense has determined it needs to meet national 
defense sealift requirements.

      The conference agreement includes this provision.

Clarification of applicability of undistributed reductions of certain 
        operation and maintenance funding among all operation and 
        maintenance funding (sec. 4002)

      The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 4002) that 
clarifies that the undistributed reductions in funding for 
operation and maintenance due to bulk fuel purchases and 
foreign currency fluctuations, as shown in table 4301, can be 
applied to all operation and maintenance funding, regardless if 
funding is available in table 4301 or 4302.
      The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The House recedes with an amendment that would limit 
reductions mentioned above to table 4301 and 4303.
