sion of law, and except as provided by subsection (b), the
individual carbine program may not receive Milestone C 
approval (as defined in section 2366(e)(8) of title 10,

ations.
SEC. 213. LIMITATION ON AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR 
OHIO-CLASS BALLISTIC MISSILE SUBMARINE 
REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) On May 13, 2010, the President submitted 
to Congress the report required under section 1251 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2010 (Public Law 111–84; 123 Stat. 2549) 
that stated, ‘‘The Secretary of Defense, based on 
recommendations from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has 
established a baseline nuclear force structure that 
fully supports U.S. security requirements and con-
forms to the New START limits. . . The United 
States will reduce the number of SLBM launchers 
(launch tubes) from 24 to 20 per SSBN, and deploy 
no more than 240 SLBMs at any time.’’. 
(2) On January 10, 2011, the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logis-
tics issued an acquisition decision memorandum for 
the Ohio-class submarine replacement program 
whereby the Navy received Milestone A approval to 
proceed with a replacement design based on 16 mis-
sile tubes. 
(3) Consistent with the reductions and limita-
tions established in the New START Treaty, which 
entered into force on February 5, 2011, more than
two-thirds of the deployed nuclear deterrent force of 
the United States are planned to be carried on bal-
listic missile submarines. 
(4) The Commander of the United States Stra-
tegic Command testified on March 2, 2011, that, 
‘‘The issue of the number of tubes is not a simple 
black and white answer,’’ but rather it is comprised 
of several issues including, ‘‘the overall number of 
tubes we wind up with at the end. . . flexibility and 
options with how many warheads per missile per 
tube. . . the overall number of boats. . . and many 
other factors.’’. He further stated that, ‘‘Sixteen 
[missile 
tubes 
per 
submarine] 
will 
meet 
STRATCOM’s requirements, given that we are sit-
ting here 20 years in advance.’’. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) the long-term ability of the United States to 
maintain a nuclear force sufficient to address the 
range of mission requirements necessary to deter, 
dissuade, and defeat potential adversaries and as-
sure allies and partners must not be comprised sole-
ly on the basis of the promise of potential cost sav-
ings resulting from the decision of the Secretary of 
Defense to reduce the planned number of missile
tubes per Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine from 
24 to 16; and 
(2) because the planned Ohio-class replacement 
ballistic submarine is expected to be in operation 
through 2080, near-term design decisions should 
take into consideration uncertainties in the future 
threat and strategic environment. 
(c) LIMITATION.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Of the funds authorized to 
be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made avail-
able for fiscal year 2012 for research, development, 
test, and evaluation, Navy, for the Ohio-class bal-
listic submarine replacement program, not more 
than 90 percent may be obligated or expended until 
the date on which the Secretary of Defense submits 
to the congressional defense committees a report 
containing— 
(A) a summary of the analysis conducted 
to support the acquisition decision memo-
randum, including any assessment of the threat 
and strategic environment and mission require-
ments that informed the decision to reduce the 
planned number of missile tubes per submarine 
from 20 (as stated in the report submitted to 
Congress under section 1251 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 
(Public Law 111–84; 123 Stat. 2549)) to 16 
(as stated in the acquisition decision memo-
randum); 
(B) a description of the threat and stra-
tegic environment assumed by the Secretary 
throughout the expected operational lifetime of 
the program, including how the Secretary would 
address significant changes to such threat and 
strategic environment; 
(C) a description of any other assumptions 
made by the Secretary throughout the expected 
operational lifetime of the program that pro-
vides the rationale of the Secretary to reduce 
the planned number of missile tubes per sub-
marine to 16, including assumptions regard-
ing— 
(i) changes in nuclear policy and 
strategy; 
(ii) changes in the role of ballistic 
missile submarines as a part of the overall 
nuclear forces of the United States; and 
(iii) further nuclear reductions, wheth-
er conducted under an international agree-
ment or unilaterally;
(D) an identification of key risks to mis-
sions or requirements that may be increased be-
cause of the Secretary’s decision to reduce the 
planned number of missile tubes per submarine 
to 16, including whether the Secretary plans to 
accept or mitigate such risks; and 
(E) a summary of the rigorous cost com-
parison of the designs for 16 missile tubes per 
submarine and 20 missile tubes per submarine, 
consistent with the direction provided in the ac-
quisition decision memorandum, including the 
accuracy of the cost estimate of the procure-
ment cost of each submarine. 
(2) FORM.—The report under paragraph (1) 
shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may in-
clude a classified annex.

Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive 
Arms, signed on April 8, 2010, and entered into 
force on February 5, 2011.
