TITLE VIII--ACQUISITION POLICY, ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT, AND RELATED MATTERS

Subtitle D—Provisions Relating to Major Defense Acquisition Programs

P. L. 114-

House Conference Report. 114-840

(1) in subparagraph (B), by striking “acquisition cost in” and all that follows through the semicolon, and inserting “life-cycle cost;”; and

(2) in subparagraph (D), by striking “funding is” and all that follows through “made,” and inserting “funding is expected to be available to execute the product development and production plan for the program,”.

The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 835) that would amend section 2366b(a)(3) of title 10, United States Code to eliminate the need for waivers that are regularly submitted to the committee for programs that are executed at the beginning of the fiscal year but before the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) has been submitted, and should receive Milestone B certification as long as there is funding in the current FYDP. This provision would reduce the number of required waivers and therefore reduce unnecessary staff burden.

The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 813).

The Senate recedes.
