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

Subtitle F--Other Matters

P. L. 113-291

Explanatory Statement, 12/4/14, H8671

The Senate committee-reported bill contained a provision (sec. 808) that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to ensure that Department of Defense (DOD) Instruction 5000.02 and other applicable guidance require full consideration during preliminary design review of metals, materials, and technologies that effectively prevent or control corrosion over the life cycle of the product.

The House bill contained no similar provision.

The agreement includes the Senate provision.

We expect the relevant instruction and regulations called for in this provision to be tailored to apply only to products likely to corrode and not to every item or system purchased by the DOD.

S. Rept. 113-176 to accompany S. 2410
