improve the efficiency of military construction

nor Department of Defense-specific needs that 
are not addressed in relevant State codes; 
(2) analyze whether such criteria are mandated 
by law, regulation, or internal policy, and the origin 
of such criteria; 
(3) evaluate whether— 
(A) such criteria could be modified or elimi-

readiness; and
