TITLE VIII--ACQUISITION POLICY, ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT, AND RELATED MATTERS Subtitle E — Provisions Relating to Acquisition Workforce
P. L. 114-	House Conference Report. 114-840
SEC. 867. AUTHORITY OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE UNDER THE ACQUISITION DEMONSTRATION PROJECT. (a) Amendment.—Section 1762(b) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph: “(4) The Secretary of Defense shall exercise the authorities granted to the Office of Personnel Management under section 4703 of title 5 for purposes of the demonstration project authorized under this section.”. (b) Effective Date.—Paragraph (4) of section 1762(b) of title 10, United States Code, as added by subsection (a), shall take effect on the first day of the first month beginning 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.	Authority of the Secretary of Defense under the acquisition demonstration project (sec. 867) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1104) that would repeal section 1762 of title 10, United States Code, and create a new section 1763 of title 10, United States Code, to provide a permanent authority that would allow the Secretary of Defense to establish and adjust a special system of personnel programs for employees in the Department of Defense civilian acquisition workforce and supporting personnel assigned to work directly with that workforce. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that moves the administration of the Department of Defense acquisition workforce demonstration project from the Office of Personnel Management to the Department of Defense.
