S.Amdt. 2743

SA 2743. Mr. BOOZMAN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed
to amendment SA 2282 submitted by Mr. Inhofe (for himself and Mr.
McCain) and intended to be proposed to the bill H.R. 5515, to authorize
appropriations for fiscal year 2019 for military activities of the
Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense
activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe military personnel
strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes; which was
ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

At the end of subtitle A of title XXVIII, add the
following:

SEC. 2806. REPAIR OF FACILITIES.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Little Rock Air Force Base provides a unique and
crucial capability, serving as the nation's tactical airlift
``Center of Excellence.'' The continued successful operation
of Little Rock Air Force Base is contingent on having a fully
operational runway. Little Rock Air Force Base has been
pursuing a facilities, restoration and modernization project
to achieve critical runway repairs. Previously provided
reports and notifications to Congress, as required by section
2811 of title 10, United States Code, have yielded
conflicting and inconsistent information.
(2) Facilities sustainment, restoration and modernization
(FSRM) needs across the Department of Defense have continued
to increase in the absence of traditional military
construction resources.
(3) Facilities sustainment, restoration and modernization
projects continue to support the full function and
operability of military installations nationwide.
(b) Notification Requirements.--Section 2811 of title 10,
United States Code, is amended--
(1) by redesignating subsection (e) as subsection (f); and
(2) by inserting after subsection (d) the following new
subsection:
``(e) Advance Notification Required.--A repair project
under this section may not be carried out unless approved in
advance by the Secretary concerned and fourteen days have
passed since submission of the report required under
subsection (d).''.
