P. L. 116-

House Conference Report   116-617

``(e) Report.--Not later than 30 days after the date of termination of an acquisition program commenced using the authority under this section, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a notification of such termination. Such notice shall include--

``(1) the initial amount of a contract awarded under such acquisition program;

``(2) the aggregate amount of funds awarded under such contract; and

``(3) written documentation of the reason for termination of such acquisition program.''.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 801) that would modify section 804 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92; 10 U.S.C. 2302 note) to direct the Secretary of Defense to provide notification to the congressional defense committees 30 days after a program is terminated that used the `middle tier' of acquisition authority.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

The Senate recedes.
