S.Amdt. 1772

SA 1772. Mr. SCHATZ (for himself and Mr. Moran) submitted an
amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill S. 4049, to
authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2021 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 B of title III, add the following:

SEC. 3___. ASSESSMENT OF RISKS TO DEFENSE COMMUNITIES.

(a) In General.--Subchapter I of chapter 169 of title 10,
United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the
following new section:

``Sec. 2816. Defense community vulnerability assessments and
exercises

``(a) Program.--The Secretary of Defense shall establish a
program that ensures that the Secretary of each military
department is able to--
``(1) conduct exercises to assess and to the degree
feasible quantify the potential impact of current and
projected risks to military installation resilience resulting
from vulnerabilities to critical infrastructure inside and
outside of the military installation, including community
infrastructure not under the jurisdiction of the Secretary
concerned; and
``(2) improve collaboration and information sharing of
critical infrastructure vulnerabilities with stakeholders in
the civilian community that are necessary to reduce the risks
to military installation resilience.
``(b) Vulnerability Assessments.--In carrying out the
program under subsection (a), consistent with the use of
military installations and State-owned installations of the
National Guard to ensure the readiness of the armed forces,
the Secretary of each military department shall assess
current and projected vulnerabilities related to military
installation infrastructure and community infrastructure that
impact military installation resilience described in section
2864(c) of this title, including vulnerabilities resulting
from interdependencies in the following critical
infrastructure sectors:

[[Page S3266]]

``(1) Energy generation, distribution, and transmission
systems.
``(2) Water and wastewater treatment facilities.
``(3) Telecommunications and information technology
systems.
``(4) Intermodal transportation nodes, including access
roads, railways and railheads, bridges, and harbor and port
infrastructure.
``(5) Emergency services.
``(6) Such other critical infrastructure sectors as the
Secretary concerned determines are important to ensure
military installation resilience.
``(c) Vulnerability Exercises.--(1) In carrying out the
program under subsection (a), each year, the Secretary of
each military department shall conduct a vulnerability
exercise to assess and to the degree feasible quantify the
potential impact of current and projected risks to military
installation resilience at not fewer than five military
installations and identify information gaps necessary to
improve military installation resilience planning under
section 2864(c) of this title.
``(2) The Secretary of each military department shall
develop and conduct exercises under paragraph (1) in
coordination with the following:
``(A) The Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through
the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
Agency.
``(B) The Secretary of Energy, acting through the director
of the Resilience Optimization Center of the Idaho National
Laboratory.
``(C) The Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works,
acting through the Chief of Engineers.
``(D) Representatives of State, tribal, and local emergency
management agencies, including the heads of such agencies, as
appropriate.
``(E) Representatives of State, tribal, and local
governments with expertise, oversight, or responsibility of
the critical infrastructure sectors described in subsection
(b).
``(F) Representatives of private service providers serving
critical infrastructure sectors described in subsection (b).
``(G) Representatives of non-governmental organizations and
local colleges and universities with access to the planning
tools to provide local-level vulnerability analysis to assess
current and projected critical infrastructure vulnerabilities
inside and outside of the military installation.
``(H) The heads of such other Federal or State departments
or agencies as the Secretary concerned considers appropriate
for conducting the exercise under paragraph (1).
``(3) Each exercise under paragraph (1) shall model and
analyze interdependency vulnerabilities related to military
installation infrastructure and community infrastructure
using a uniform method that seeks to combine, to the extent
appropriate and applicable, the following:
``(A) All hazards analysis that models military
installation infrastructure and community infrastructure as
regionally linked systems to assess the current and projected
risks and consequences of manmade and natural disasters on
those systems inside and outside the military installation.
``(B) Science-based analysis that provides for enhanced
modeling of current and projected infrastructure risks to
military installation resilience within the boundaries of the
military installation.
``(4) The Secretary of each military department shall
provide to the individuals described in paragraph (2) any
information, in an appropriate form, that is used to develop
the exercises described in paragraph (1), including--
``(A) projections from reliable and authorized sources used
for the military installation resilience component of the
installation master plans of the Department of Defense under
section 2864 of this title;
``(B) modeling and analytical products described in
paragraph (3); and
``(C) any additional material used to inform the conduct of
the exercises under paragraph (1).
``(d) Reports.--(1) Not later than March 1 of each year,
the Secretary of each military department shall submit to the
congressional defense committees a report on the program
conducted under this section, including the assessments
conducted under subsection (b) and the exercises conducted
under subsection (c), during the year preceding the report.
``(2) Each report submitted under paragraph (1) shall
include the following:
``(A) The name and location of each military installation
where an assessment and exercise was conducted under this
section in the year covered by the report, including a list
of stakeholders engaged as part of each exercise under
subsection (c).
``(B) The name and location of where each military
department plans to conduct assessments and exercises under
this section in the following year.
``(C) An analysis of what current and future risks the
assessments and exercises addressed and, to the degree
feasible, quantified for each military installation and what
information gaps, if any, persist following the assessment
and exercise.
``(D) An explanation of how the Secretary concerned will
address any persistent information gaps identified under
subparagraph (C).
``(E) An explanation of how the assessments under
subsection (b) informed or will inform military installation
resilience projects under section 2815 of this title.
``(F) A plan for using available authorities to mitigate
vulnerabilities to military installation infrastructure and
community infrastructure, including under section 2391(d) of
this title.
``(e) Definitions.--In this section:
``(1) The term `community infrastructure' has the meaning
given that term in section 2391(e)(4) of this title.
``(2) The term `military installation' has the meaning

(b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections at the
beginning of chapter 169 of such title is amended by
inserting after the item relating to section 2815 the
