'of defense has had 11 violations of the anti deficiency act ada in its military personnel accounts. the conferees recognize',
'the uncertainty that exists in the military personnel accounts due to their entitlement nature and the fact that resource requirements',
'are driven by millions of individual and organizational personnel decisions. to further complicate management of these accounts, a significant number',
'of obligations are incurred in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. the conferees recognize the departments efforts to improve',
'the management and oversight of these accounts, but remain concerned over the departments failure to adequately manage the military personnel',
'budgets. therefore, the recommendation includes a new general provision requiring the inspector general of the department of defense to conduct',
'a review of military personnel ada violations and their causes. based on the findings of the review, the inspector general',
'shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report examining the departments budgeting and oversight of the military personnel accounts,',

'concerned by recent incidents in which servicemembers on military orders deploying to or returning from overseas contingency operations on commercial',
'airlines have been charged excess baggage fees. in some instances, servicemembers were asked to pay out of their own pockets',
'for charges placed on checked baggage carrying u.s. military equipment and not personal effects. servicemembers make great sacrifices to serve',
'their country in dangerous wartime conditions. they should not be asked to endure personal financial hardships as a result of',
'traveling to and from overseas deployments. although the department of defense states that it has the authority to pay for',
'excess baggage fees and to reimburse servicemembers for any fees they have paid, the conferees firmly believe that servicemembers should',
'not be burdened with out of pocket expenses at all. the conferees strongly encourage the department to avoid entering into',
'contract agreements with airlines that charge excess baggage fees to servicemembers who are traveling on military orders and are being',
'deployed to or returning from overseas contingency operations. in addition, the secretary of defense is directed to submit a report',

'a more accountable and transparent structure within the department and improve interagency coordination. even with this progress, concerns remain that',
'some activities being funded under io/miso and sc are duplicative of, or operate at cross purposes with, other federal agencies',

'due to carryover from large unobligated balances for the past several years, the conferees believe the department should reassess further',
'growth of its acquisition workforce in light of two considerations. first, the goal of 147,000 personnel set forth in the',

'the department has not yet completed competency assessments for all of the functional areas that compose this workforce, which suggests',
'the ability to assess the full range of required competencies within the workforce may be limited. having these assessments completed',
'is essential to understanding how best to prioritize future hiring and to optimize workforce training. the conferees direct the secretary',
'of defense to publish a revised strategic human capital plan update for the defense acquisition workforce not later than august',
'1, 2012, detailing future workforce needs. in so doing, the conferees expect the secretary to ensure that competency assessments for',
'all functional areas that make up the defense acquisition workforce are completed, using dawdf resources to facilitate this task if',
'necessary. to assist in the human capital plan update, the conferees direct the comptroller general to report on the funding',
'mechanisms and statutory limits established for the dawdf through section 852 of the national defense authorization act, 2008 and codified',
'by 10 usc 1705 to the congressional defense committees not later than 180 days after enactment of this act. the',
'current statute should be revisited in the near term. absent this, the department will be forced either to over commit',

'additionally, the conferees are concerned with the cost of concurrency changes on the joint strike fighter program and provide $100,000,000',

'that the department continue to refine what activities, budget lines, and programs should be considered cyber in order to better',
'coordinate and track these budgets. research, development, test and evaluation, army the conference agreement on items addressed by either the',
'house or the senate is as follows: graphic s not available in tiff format army modernization and acquisition the conferees',
'agree with the armys steps to improve acquisition processes through implementation of the decker wagner army acquisition review findings as',
'well as introducing other metrics and monthly reports to enable and strengthen senior civilian oversight across all army modernization portfolios.',
'the conferees believe continued acquisition improvement is only achievable with a strong, stable acquisition workforce and therefore urge the secretary',
'of the army and the secretary of defense to guard against misguided efforts that shrink the acquisition workforce as was',
'done in the 1990s with disastrous results. the conferees also believe that even with improvements in acquisition processes and a',
'stable workforce, these steps alone will not ensure that the army will achieve its modernization objectives. after both the house',
'and senate appropriations committees completed their reviews of the fiscal year 2012 budget request, the army provided additional information for',
'its top ten priority programs. of these top ten programs, six programs had undergone significant acquisition strategy modifications causing schedule',
'and programmatic perturbations. as a result of these changes, the army identified over $1,000,000,000 from its original fiscal year 2012',
'budget request as excess to its funding requirements in fiscal year 2012. additionally, the army notified the congressional defense committees',
'of over $309,000,000 in excess funds from its budget request due to program terminations and requested transfers of over $282,000,000',
'among ten different programs. this magnitude of change in funding across a multitude of programs, identified after submitting the budget',
'only ten months prior, indicates a pervasive instability in army programs. while the conferees recognize that ten years of continuous',
'war can force out of cycle changes, the armys acquisition challenges precede the post september 11, 2001 war efforts. since',
'1995, the army has spent $32,000,000,000 on development of 22 programs that were eventually cancelled. the conferees believe this history',
'of programmatic instability indicates a lack of focus and discipline in the requirements generation process that must be corrected before',
'the army will see any improvement in its ability to successfully modernize. improvement must begin with clearly documented, stable, and',
'affordable requirements. the conferees are aware that army acquisition has taken on the responsibility of vetting each requirement for technical',
'maturity and affordability prior to initiating a contract action, but the conferees are concerned that this is a short term',
'correction to a larger institutional problem with the requirements generation process. furthermore, while the conferees congratulate the army on the',
'success of the newly implemented network integration evaluations, which ensure new equipment is interoperable, effective, and adds benefit to deployed',
'troops, the process has revealed that a handful of programs would not be effective if deployed. the evaluations are causing',
'the army to reevaluate, restructure, and even terminate several programs that began years ago with established requirements. thus, the conferees',
'question the long standing requirements process that serves as the foundation for army modernization. therefore, in addition to implementing changes',
'identified in the decker wagner army acquisition review, the secretary of the army is encouraged to undertake a similar examination',
'of the requirements generation process. future combat systems system of systems engineering and program management and network integration evaluation the',
'conference agreement provides $298,872,000 for the future combat systems system of systems engineering and program management, instead of $311,872,000 as',
'proposed by the house and $283,872,000 as proposed by the senate. the conferees note that this line now funds the',
'armys bi annual network integration evaluations nie . the conferees support the nie and direct the army to regularly update',
'the congressional defense committees on the cost, schedule, scope, and methods for the tests and other associated reviews to be',
'accomplished in the nie, as well as outcomes and findings. additionally, the conferees are aware of the savings the army',
'has achieved in future combat systems termination costs and the lower costs projected for the fiscal year 2012 nie. the',
'conferees note that the continued use of the former future combat systems terminology has become a counter productive distraction and',
'recommend updating program descriptions to improve communications among those who review and shape defense appropriations and to more accurately reflect',
'the purpose for which appropriations are requested. the conferees believe that funding requirements for the nie should be presented distinctly',
'and separately in future budget submissions. active and semi active vehicle suspension components the conferees are aware that the army',
'has begun the testing and development of active and semi active vehicle suspension components with regenerative capabilities. the conferees understand',
'that this technology may improve vehicle fuel efficiency and reduce maintenance. accordingly, the conferees encourage the army to continue the',
'testing and development of this technology and to fully explore the potential benefits for application across vehicle programs. support for',
'base realignment and closure 2005 actions the conferees support actions taken by the army and the defense logistics agency to',
'fully fund the integration of their information technology systems in a timely manner to support the 2005 base realignment and',
'closure brac commissions mandate to transfer re procurement of depot level repairables. the conferees are aware that although the brac',
'commission determined the transfer has the potential to save millions of dollars, the government accountability office has recently concluded that',
'the savings are jeopardized by inadequate up front funding for brac implementation. the conferees note that the armys tank and',
'automotive research, development, and engineering command tardec manages the repository of all ground vehicle technical data for the army, and',
'has built infrastructure for use by all army programs to store weapons system technical information, drawings, and specifications. the conferees',
'urge that the tardec use funds available for this effort to assist in meeting the 2005 brac recommendation for depot',
'level repairable transfer. armored multi purpose vehicle the conferees recommend $14,300,000 for the armored multi purpose vehicle instead of $31,400,000',
'as proposed by the house and no funding as proposed by the senate. the conferees note that the requirement to',
'find a replacement for the m113 series of vehicles has received scant attention for too long. the conferees believe that',
'prompt and decisive action is needed to select and advance a near term solution rather than continuing a long term',
'search for the perfect solution. the conferees note that the recommendation fully funds the analysis of alternatives, as requested by',
'the army. subsequently, after notification to the congressional defense committees, available funds may be applied to expedite the acquisition effort.',
'ground combat vehicle the conferees recommend $449,387,000 for the ground combat vehicle, instead of $768,053,000 as proposed by the house',
'and $240,387,000 as proposed by the senate. the conferees have been informed of a change to the acquisition strategy and',
'note that the recommendation fully funds this revised strategy. armed scout helicopter the conferees recommend no funding for technology development',
'of the armed scout helicopter ash , instead of $63,690,000 as proposed by the house and $4,761,000 as proposed by',
'the senate, because contrary to plans submitted with the fiscal year 2012 budget submission, the army does not plan to',
'award a technology development contract in fiscal year 2012. the conferees recommend $15,000,000 for a flight demonstration of ash capabilities,',
'as requested by the army. the conferees understand that this flight demonstration will occur in the spring of 2012, and',
'direct the army to brief the congressional defense committees in detail on the outcome of this demonstration not later than',
'30 days after its completion. joint light tactical vehicle the budget request includes $243,940,000 within army and marine corps accounts',
'for the development of the joint light tactical vehicle jltv . the jltv program has undergone significant changes since its',
'inception and the submission of the fiscal year 2012 budget request. the principal reason for the changes is the discovery',
'that the plan to acquire multiple variants of a limited number of vehicles with demanding performance specifications would result in',
'an unaffordable program for both the army and marine corps. as a result, the program will now pursue a competitively',
'selected single vehicle with a less complex design on a significantly accelerated timeline. the conferees are encouraged to see the',
'army and marine corps taking definitive action to change their approach in evaluating requirements, technology, key performance parameters, and costs',
'as they apply to this acquisition program. continuing on the nine year path of studies, development, and testing to field',
'a lightweight tactical vehicle that will carry four passengers and 3,500 pounds of cargo onto the battlefield was unacceptable. recognizing',
'the renewed focus and approach, the conference agreement provides $87,300,000 in research, development, test and evaluation, army and $46,700,000 in',
'research, development, test and evaluation, navy for continued jltv development, in accordance with revised estimates for the program. the conferees',
'strongly encourage the army and marine corps, in conjunction with the under secretary of defense acquisition, technology and logistics ,',
'to examine the feasibility of accelerating a competition for production through more efficient testing and acquisition practices and by embracing',
'off the shelf technology demonstrated by industry so that improved vehicles are delivered to the warfighter as soon as possible.',
'accordingly, the army and marine corps are encouraged to acquire, test, and evaluate, as necessary, available off the shelf systems',

'is expected to comply with congressional direction and demonstrate the priority it places on these programs and submit required expenditure',
'plans as directed and in accordance with the specified deadlines. the department should already have these expenditure plans as part',

'a 31 percent increase. since 2007, in an effort to reduce the potential for increased corruption, the congress has provided',

'the region affected by the santa ana sucker critical habitat designation. the conferees are concerned that the services region 6',

'a federal regulatory agency such as the service, and believe that the states can play a strong intermediary role. the',
'conferees recommend that the service work with the northern rocky mountain states and a diverse coalition of private landowners to',
'find innovative, multispecies, multi partner approaches to utilizing conservation agreements that simplify the process for private landowners; that empower the',
'states to work directly with private landowners to set up the agreements; and that recognize the services final authority. the',

'energy consultations, the conferees direct the service to continue coordinating with other agencies within the department of the interior, as',
'well as with the department of commerce, department of energy, and other federal and state agencies, to ensure that the',
'investments support the further development of the renewable energy industry, including the creation of an offshore wind manufacturing industry and',
'related jobs in the united states. the conferees support the secretarys decision to establish an office that will be focused',
'on endangered species act compliance for renewable energy projects. in order to facilitate better species protection and stewardship of public',
'resources, the conferees expect that this office will develop permitting policies that make it less difficult and time consuming to',
'permit projects on disturbed private lands than on pristine public lands. the conferees are aware that the service has begun',
'work on a rule under section 4 d of the endangered species act to address this concern, but the service',
'has not yet released a draft. the conferees expect the service to publish its draft and final rules to address',

'impact statement for the refuge that deal with the removal of the dikes at the porter point unit, reikkola unit,',

'together, these amounts fully fund mitigation hatcheries operated by the service for the corps, tennessee valley authority, bureau of reclamations',
'central utah project and the bonneville power administration. the conferees support efforts by the service to recover costs of programs',
'that are conducted to mitigate the environmental effects of other federal partners. however, future budget requests must ensure that federal',
'partners have committed to make sufficient funding available to reimburse the service before the service proposes to eliminate funding for',
'mitigation hatcheries so that operations at these hatcheries are not disrupted. aquatic habitat and species conservation is funded at $71,325,000.',
'the bill includes $1,000,000 towards the implementation of mandatory operational inspection and decontamination stations at federally managed or interjurisdictional water',
'bodies considered to be of highest risk, as called for in the february 2010 quagga zebra mussel action plan for',
'western u.s. waters. an additional $1,000,000 is included to continue and expand funding for the control and eradication of zebra',
'and quagga mussels and other aquatic invasive species, including funding for state aquatic invasive species management plans. also included is',
'a $2,000,000 increase above the fiscal year 2011 enacted level for asian carp monitoring and eradication activities. cooperative landscape conservation',
'and adaptive science. the bill includes $32,250,000 for cooperative landscape conservation and adaptive science. the conferees recognize that fish and',
'wildlife conservation organizations are facing increasingly complex ecological and fiscal challenges that require resource threats to be addressed in a',
'more efficient and effective way. in light of these challenges, the service has established a network of landscape conservation cooperatives',
'lccs with other federal, state, local and tribal partners to better leverage conservation resources and better prioritize and coordinate research',
