COST VARIATIONS 
SEC. 603. (a) OVERALL TFTLE TOTAL LIMFTATION.—Notwithstanding

sections 103,203,303, and 403) may, at the discretion of the Secretary 
of the military department or Director of the defense agency con-
cerned, be increased by 5 per centum when inside the United States 
(other than Alaska or Hawaii), and by 10 per centum when outside 
the United States or in Alaska or Hawaii, if the Secretary of the 
military department or Director of the defense agency concerned 
determines that such increase (1) is required for the sole purpose of 
meeting unusual variations in cost, and (2) could not have been 
PUBLIC LAW 96-418—OCT. 10, 1980 
94 STAT. 1769 
reasonably anticipated at the time such estimate was submitted to 
the Congress. 
(c) VARIATIONS IN INSTALLATION TOTALS—ONLY ONE PROJECT AT AN 
INSTALLATION.—When the amount named for any construction or 
acquisition in title I, II, III, or IV of this Act involves only one project 
at any military installation and the Secretary of the military depart-
ment or Director of the defense agency concerned determines that 
the amount authorized must be increased by more than the applica-
ble percentage prescribed in subsection (b), the Secretary of the 
military department or Director of the defense agency concerned may 
proceed with such construction or acquisition if the amount of the 
increase does not exceed by more than 25 per centum the amount 
named for such project by the Congress. 
(d) VARIATIONS IN INSTALLATION TOTALS—REPORTS BY THE SECRE-
TARY OF DEFENSE.—When the Secretary of Defense determines that 
any amount named in title I, II, III, or IV of this Act must be exceeded 
by more than the percentages permitted in subsections (b) and (c) to 
accomplish authorized construction or acquisition, the Secretary of 
the military department or Director of the defense agency concerned

statement of the reasons for such increase, has been submitted to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, and either (1) thirty days have elapsed after the date of

provisions in prior Military Construction Authorization Acts, the 
provisions of this subsection shall apply to such prior Acts. 
(e) COST AND SCOPE VARIATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS; REPORTS 
TO CONGRESS.—No individual project authorized under title I, II, III, 
or IV of this Act for any specifically listed military installation for

contract i

per centum; or 
(2) the current working estimate, based upon bids received, for 
the construction of such project exceeds by more than 25 per 
centum the amount authorized for such project by the Congress; 
until a written report of the facts relating to the reduced scope or 
increased cost of such project, including a statement of the reasons 
for reduction in scope or increase in cost, has been submitted to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, and either thirty days have elapsed after the date of 
submission of such report, or both committees have indicated 
approval of such reduction in scope or increase in cost, as the case 
may be. 
(f) ANNUAL REPORT TO CONGRESS.—The Secretary of Defense, or the 
Secretary's designee, shall submit an annual report to the Congress 
identifying each individual project (other than a project authorized 
under section 103, 203, 303, or 403) which has been placed under 
contract in the preceding twelve-month period and with respect to 
which the then current working estimate of the Department of 
Defense, based upon bids received, for such project exceeded the 
amount authorized by the Congress for that project by more than 25 
per centum. The Secretary shall also include in such report each 
individual project with respect to which the scope was reduced by 
more than 25 per centum in order to permit contract award within 
94 STAT. 1770 
PUBLIC LAW 96-418—OCT. 10, 1980 
the available authorization for such project. Such report shall include 
all pertinent cost information for each individual project, including 
the amount in dollars and percentage by which the current working 
estimate based on the contract price for the project exceeded the 
amount authorized for such project by the Congress. 
(g) COST AND FLOOR AREA VARIATIONS—SOLAR ENERGY.—The Sec-
retary of Defense shall encourage the utilization of solar energy as a 
source of energy for projects authorized by this Act where utilization 
of solar energy would be practical and economically feasible. In order

equipment, solar cooling equipment, or both solar heating and solar 
cooling equipment, the Secretary of Defense may authorize increeises 
in the cost limitations or floor area limitations for such project by 
such amounts as may be necessary for such purpose. Any increase 
under this section in the cost or floor area of a project authorized by 
this Act shall be in addition to any other increase in such cost or 
variation in floor area limitations authorized by this or any other Act. 
CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION

COMMUNITY IMPACT ASSISTANCE STUDY 
SEC. 803. (a) The Congress finds that—

facilities are constructed with a view to determining the most 
effective and practicable means of promptly mitigating such impact.

are sufficient in scope to warrant impact assistance by the 
Federal Government;

inflation on the cost of fossil fuel as compared with the general 
rate of inflation, but in no event may the assumed general rate of
