Repeal of certain defense acquisition laws (sec. 812)

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 812) that would repeal a number of outdated provisions of law related to defense acquisition, including sections of title 10, United States Code, and provisions that appear in the United States Code as legislative ‘‘note’’ sections under various provisions of title 10, United States Code.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify which provisions are to be repealed.


H. Rept. 115-676


Section 812--Repeal of Certain Defense Acquisition Laws

This section would repeal a number of outdated provisions of law related to defense acquisition, including sections of title 10, United States Code, and provisions that appear in the United States Code as legislative ``note'' sections under various provisions of title 10. These out-of-date provisions either required the Department of Defense to issue regulations, have now expired by their own terms, or are otherwise obsolete.

The committee notes that, with respect to repeal of a statutory requirement for issuance of a regulation, it is not expressing a view on the merits of the policies covered by the regulation. Rather, in repealing the statutory requirement for a regulation, this section would allow the Secretary of Defense to revise the regulation as circumstances warrant. Repealing the statutory requirement would allow the Secretary to revise or rescind the regulation, but would not prescribe it. The decision to retain, or not retain, the regulation would remain with the Secretary.
