performed within the United States, except Alaska, without the specific approval in writing of the 

Secretary of Defense setting forth the reasons therefor. 

Sec. 103. Funds made available in this title for construction may be used for advances to the 

Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation, for the construction of access

therein are certified as important to the national defense by the Secretary of Defense.

Sec. 104. None of the funds made available in this title may be used to begin construction of new 

bases in the United States for which specific appropriations have not been made.

Sec. 107. None of the funds made available in this title for minor construction may be used to

Sec. 108. None of the funds made available in this title may be used for the procurement of steel 

for any construction project or activity for which American steel producers, fabricators, and 

manufacturers have been denied the opportunity to compete for such steel procurement.

Sec. 114. Funds appropriated to the Department of Defense for construction in prior years shall be 

available for construction authorized for each such military department by the authorizations 

enacted into law during the current session of Congress.

Sec. 124. Provides additional funds for certain projects identified in the respective military

of $66.82M and for the Air National Guard in the amount of $5.2M.

Additional Items of Interest 

Military Installation Resilience. Since fiscal year 2020 the Committees have provided dedicated 

planning and design and unspecified minor construction funding to support installation resilience. 

The primary intent of this funding has been to develop and carry out projects that mitigate climate 
- 4 -

change risks to military installations. The Committees believe that such investments are critical to 

installation readiness and therefore provide $30,000,000 for planning and design and unspecified 

minor construction in section 128 to continue to develop projects, conduct studies and analyses, 

and update Unified Facility Criteria that will directly enhance military installation resilience.

Condition of DOD Barracks. The Committees recognize ensuring the quality of DOD

unaccompanied housing as a priority and provide resources throughout this bill for the planning

and design and construction of barracks totaling $662,375,000. In addition, the Committees are

concerned about the findings identified in the Government Accountability Office (GAO) report

entitled, "Military Barracks: Poor Living Conditions Undermine Quality of Life and Readiness"

(GA0-23-105797) and urge DOD to expeditiously address the recommendations. The Committees 

believe that changes to DOD policies and practices, such as establishing consistent habitability 

standards, and consistently identifying and addressing health and safety issues across the 

services are necessary to ensure quality unaccompanied housing for servicemembers. As such, 

the agreement directs a report from each of the Services on how they are addressing GAO's 

recommendations, including a timeline for implementation, and how they are making systemic 

changes to the quality of barracks not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act.

Military Construction Funding Initiatives. The agreement includes funding to address important 

unfunded priorities and cost to completes included in DOD's unfunded priority lists provided to 

Congress. This includes an additional $8,214,000 for the Army, $182,150,000 for the Navy and 

Marine Corps, $166,300,000 for the Air Force, $62,400,000 for Defense-Wide, $66,815,000 for the 

Army National Guard, $5,200,000 for the Air National Guard, and $23,000,000 for the Army 

Reserve.

Environmental Remediation. As the Committees continue to be concerned about the extent of 

per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) contamination at closed U.S. military installations, the 

agreement includes an additional $50,000,000 above the budget request to increase the pace of 

cleanup at the military installations affected by PF AS. Recognizing the active costs associated 

with ordnance disposal and other environmental cleanup requirements, the agreement also 

provides additional funding for the Services to remediate hazardous environmental sites at 

installations closed under previous Base Closure and Realignment rounds. Further, the agreement 

recognizes the Navy's efforts towards the demolition and removal of non-historically designated 

buildings and structures under Navy control where the sampling or remediation of radiologically 

contaminated materials have been the subject of substantiated allegations of fraud. The Services 

are directed to submit a spend plan for all additional funding to the Committees no later than 60 

days after enactment of this Act.
