TITLE III — OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

House Conference Report 109-360

SEC. 331. EXTENSION OF AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE LOGISTICS SUPPORT AND SERVICES FOR WEAPONS SYSTEMS CONTRACTORS.

Section 365(g)(1) of the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-314; 116 Stat. 2521; 10 U.S.C. 2302 note) is amended by striking `September 30, 2007' and inserting `September 30, 2010'.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 331) that would extend, for an additional 3 years, a program by which the Defense Logistics Agency could provide logistics support and services to a contractor in support of its performance on a contract for the construction, modification, or maintenance of a weapons system. The Secretary of Defense has not finalized the required program regulations. The current authority expires on September 30, 2007. Moving the expiration date to 2010 would correspond to the originally envisioned 5-year pilot period.

The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 326).

The conference agreement includes this provision.

House Report 109-89

SECTION 331--EXTENSION OF AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE LOGISTICS SUPPORT AND SERVICES FOR WEAPONS SYSTEMS CONTRACTORS

This section would amend section 365 of the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-314) by striking `2007' and inserting `2010'. This would extend, for an additional three years, a program under which the Secretary of Defense may make available logistics support and services to a contractor for the construction, modification, or maintenance of a weapon system. The regulations required to be published prior to implementation have not yet been published. They are expected to be published in the current fiscal year. The extension, therefore, would allow the Secretary five years to conduct the pilot program.

Senate Report 109-69

The committee recommends a provision that would extend by 3 years the authority under section 365 of the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-314) by which the Defense Logistics Agency could provide logistics support and services to a contractor in support of its performance on a contract for the construction, modification, or maintenance of a weapons system. The authority granted expires on September 30, 2007. Section 365 required the Secretary of Defense to issue regulations before the granted authority could be used; and these regulations currently are in the process of being finalized. Moving the expiration date to 2010 would correspond to the original 5-year pilot period envisioned under section 365.
