P. L. 116-92

House Conference Report 116-333

Section 890 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232; 132 Stat. 1919; 10 U.S.C. 2306a note) is amended--

(1) by striking subsection (b);

(2) by redesignating subsections (c) and (d) as subsections (b) and (c), respectively;

(3) in subsection (b), as redesignated by paragraph (2), by striking ``and an assessment of whether the program should be continued or expanded''; and

(4) in subsection (c), as so redesignated, by striking ``January 2, 2021'' and inserting ``January 2, 2023''.

The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 807) that would amend a pilot established in section 890 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232). That law authorized the Secretary of Defense to reform and accelerate the contracting and pricing processes for 10 programs on a pilot basis. The amendment would remove the 10-program limitation and would delay the program's sunset from January 2, 2021, to January 2, 2022.

The House amendment contained no similar provision.

The House recedes.
