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

House Conference Report

SEC. 843. EXTENSION OF DEADLINE FOR REPORT OF ADVISORY PANEL ON LAWS AND REGULATIONS ON ACQUISITION PRACTICES.

Section 1423(d) of the Services Acquisition Reform Act of 2003 (title XIV of Public Law 108-136; 117 Stat. 1669; 41 U.S.C. 405 note) is amended by striking `one year' and inserting `18 months'.

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 848) that would extend for an additional year the deadline for a final report by the acquisition panel established in section 1423(d) of the Services Acquisition Reform Act of 2003 (title XIV of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004; Public Law 108-136). The Senate provision would also require an interim report by the panel.

The House bill contained no similar provision.

The House recedes with an amendment that would extend by 6 months the deadline for a final report by the acquisition panel.
