(b) In general Section 506H of the National Security Act of 1947 ( 50 U.S.C. 3104 ) is amended— (1) in subsection (a)(1)— (A) in subparagraph (A)(ii), by inserting and after the semicolon; (B) in subparagraph (B)(ii), by striking ; and and inserting a period; and (C) by striking subparagraph (C); (2) by redesignating subsection (b) as subsection (c); (3) by inserting after subsection (a) the following new subsection (b): (b) Intelligence community reports (1) Not later than March 1 of each year, the Director of National Intelligence shall submit to the congressional intelligence committees, the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives a report on the security clearances processed by each element of the intelligence community during the preceding fiscal year.

(G) The percentage of security clearance investigations, including initial and periodic reinvestigations, that resulted in a denial or revocation of a security clearance.
