‘‘(f) AUTHORIZED COST AND SCOPE OF WORK VARIATIONS.—(1) 
Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), the cost authorized for a military 
construction project or military family housing project to be carried 
out using funds in the Account may not be increased or reduced 
by more than 20 percent or $2,000,000, whichever is greater, of

ference report. 
‘‘(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to a military construction

construction threshold under section 2805 of title 10, United States

scope of work for a military construction project or military family 
housing project to be carried out using funds in the Account needs

shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report speci-
fying all military construction projects and military family housing 
projects carried out using funds in the Department of Defense 
Base Closure Account 2005 for which a cost or scope of work 
variation was made before that date that would have been subject 
to subsection (f) of section 2905A of the Defense Base Closure 
and Realignment Act of 1990, as added by this section, if such 
subsection had been in effect when the cost or scope of work 
variation was made. The Secretary shall include a description of 
each variation covered by the report and the reasons for the vari-
ation.
