Sec. 2391. Military base reuse studies and community planning

assistance

-STATUTE-

(a) Reuse Studies. - Whenever the Secretary of Defense or the

Secretary of the military department concerned publicly announces

that a military installation is a candidate for closure or that a

final decision has been made to close a military installation and

the Secretary of Defense determines, because of the location,

facilities, or other particular characteristics of the

installation, that the installation may be suitable for some

specific Federal, State, or local use potentially beneficial to the

Nation, the Secretary of Defense may conduct such studies,

including the preparation of an environmental impact statement in

accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), in connection with such installation and such

potential use as may be necessary to provide information sufficient

to make sound conclusions and recommendations regarding the

possible use of the installation.

(b) Adjustment and Diversification Assistance. - (1) The

Secretary of Defense may make grants, conclude cooperative

agreements, and supplement funds available under Federal programs

administered by agencies other than the Department of Defense in

order to assist State and local governments in planning community

adjustments and economic diversification required (A) by the

proposed or actual establishment, realignment, or closure of a

military installation, (B) by the cancellation or termination of a

Department of Defense contract or the failure to proceed with an

approved major weapon system program, (C) by a publicly announced

planned major reduction in Department of Defense spending that

would directly and adversely affect a community, (D) by the

encroachment of a civilian community on a military installation, or

(E) by the closure or the significantly reduced operations of a

defense facility as the result of the merger, acquisition, or

consolidation of the defense contractor operating the defense

facility, if the Secretary determines that an action described in

clause (A), (B), (C), or (E) is likely to have a direct and

significantly adverse consequence on the affected community or, in

the case of an action described in clause (D), if the Secretary

determines that the encroachment of the civilian community is

likely to impair the continued operational utility of the military

installation.

(2) In the case of the establishment or expansion of a military

installation, assistance may be made under paragraph (1) only if

(A) community impact assistance or special impact assistance is not

otherwise available, and (B) the establishment or expansion

involves the assignment to the installation of (i) more than 2,000

military, civilian, and contractor Department of Defense personnel,

or (ii) more military, civilian, and contractor Department of

Defense personnel than the number equal to 10 percent of the number

of persons employed in counties or independent municipalities

within fifteen miles of the installation, whichever is lesser.

(3) In the case of a publicly announced planned reduction in

Department of Defense spending, the closure or significantly

reduced operations of a defense facility, the cancellation or

termination of a Department of Defense contract, or the failure to

proceed with a previously approved major defense acquisition

program, assistance may be made under paragraph (1) only if the

reduction, cancellation, termination, or failure will have a direct

and significant adverse impact on a community and will result in

the loss of -

(A) 2,500 or more employee positions, in the case of a

Metropolitan Statistical Area or similar area (as defined by the

Director of the Office of Management and Budget);

(B) 1,000 or more employee positions, in the case of a labor

market area outside of a Metropolitan Statistical Area; or

(C) one percent of the total number of civilian jobs in that

area.

(4)(A) In the case of a State or local government eligible for

assistance under paragraph (1), the Secretary of Defense may also

make grants, conclude cooperative agreements, and supplement other

Federal funds in order to assist the State or local government to

carry out a community adjustment and economic diversification

program (including State industrial extension or modernization

efforts to facilitate the economic diversification of defense

contractors and subcontractors) in addition to planning such a

program.

(B) The Secretary shall establish criteria for the selection of

community adjustment and economic diversification programs to

receive assistance under subparagraph (A). Such criteria shall

include a requirement that the State or local government agree -

(i) to provide not less than 10 percent of the funding for the

program from non-Federal sources;

(ii) to provide business planning and market exploration

services under the program to defense contractors and

subcontractors that seek modernization or diversification

assistance; and

(iii) to provide training, counseling, and placement services

for members of the armed forces and dislocated defense workers.

(C) The Secretary shall carry out this paragraph in coordination

with the Secretary of Commerce.

(5)(A) The Secretary of Defense may also make grants, conclude

cooperative agreements, and supplement other Federal funds in order

to assist a State or local government in planning community

adjustments and economic diversification even though the State or

local government is not currently eligible for assistance under

paragraph (1) if the Secretary determines that a substantial

portion of the economic activity or population of the geographic

area to be subject to the advance planning is dependent on defense

expenditures.

(B) The Secretary of Defense may also make grants, conclude

cooperative agreements, and supplement other Federal funds in order

to assist a State in enhancing its capacities -

(i) to assist communities, businesses, and workers adversely

affected by an action described in paragraph (1);

(ii) to support local adjustment and diversification

initiatives; and

(iii) to stimulate cooperation between statewide and local

adjustment and diversification efforts.

(C) The Secretary of Defense may also make grants, conclude

cooperative agreements, and supplement other Federal funds in order

to assist a State or local government in enhancing the capabilities

of the government to support efforts of the Department of Defense

to privatize, contract for, or diversify the performance of

military family support services in cases in which the capability

of the Department to provide such services is adversely affected by

an action described in paragraph (1).

(6) Funds provided to State and local governments and regional

organizations under this section may be used as part or all of any

required non-Federal contribution to a Federal grant-in-aid program

for the purposes stated in paragraph (1).

(7) To the extent practicable, the Secretary of Defense shall

inform a State or local government applying for assistance under

this subsection of the approval or rejection by the Secretary of

the application for such assistance as follows:

(A) Before the end of the 7-day period beginning on the date on

which the Secretary receives the application, in the case of an

application for a planning grant.

(B) Before the end of the 30-day period beginning on such date,

in the case of an application for assistance to carry out a

community adjustments and economic diversifications program.

(8)(A) In attempting to complete consideration of applications

within the time period specified in paragraph (7), the Secretary of

Defense shall give priority to those applications requesting

assistance for a community described in subsection (f)(1).

Secretary, the Secretary shall promptly inform the State or local

government of the reasons for the rejection of the application.

for solar energy and other renewable forms of energy to determine

what uses of such forms of energy may be cost effective and

reliable in supplying the energy needs of the Department of

Defense. The Secretary of Defense, based upon the results of such

studies, shall from time to time issue policy guidelines to be

followed by the Secretaries of the military departments in carrying

out subsection (a) and section 2857 of this title.

(c)(1) For the purposes of this section, an energy system using

solar energy or other renewable forms of energy shall be considered

such a form of energy can be recovered over the expected life of

the system.

(2) A determination under paragraph (1) concerning whether a

cost-differential can be recovered over the expected life of a

provided in subsection (b) if -

(A) the contract will be a long-term lease or charter; or

(B) the terms of the contract provide for a substantial

termination liability on the part of the United States.

(2) The Secretary of a military department may make a contract

that is an agreement to lease or charter or an agreement to provide

House of Representatives of the Secretary's intention to issue

such a solicitation; and

(C) the Secretary has notified those committees of the proposed

contract and provided a detailed description of the terms of the

proposed contract and a justification for entering into the

proposed contract rather than providing for the lease, charter,

or services involved through purchase of the vessel or aircraft

to be used under the contract, and a period of 30 days of

continuous session of Congress has expired following the date on

which notice was received by such committees.

(2) For purposes of paragraph (1)(C), the continuity of a session

of Congress is broken only by an adjournment of the Congress sine

die, and the days on which either House is not in session because

of an adjournment of more than three days to a day certain are

excluded in a computation of such 30-day period.

(c)(1) Funds may not be appropriated for any fiscal year to or

liability on the part of the United States,

unless funds for that purpose have been specifically authorized by

law.

(2) Funds appropriated to the Department of Defense may not be

used to indemnify any person under the terms of a contract entered

into under this section -

(A) for any amount paid or due by any person to the United

States for any liability arising under the Internal Revenue Code

of 1986; or

(B) to pay any attorneys' fees in connection with such

contract.

(d)(1)(A) In this section, the term ''long-term lease or

five years but which contains an option to renew or extend the

agreement for a period which, when added to the initial term (or

any previous renewal or extension), is five years or longer.

Such term includes the extension or renewal of a lease or charter

agreement if the term of the extension or renewal thereof is for a

period of five years or longer or if the term of the lease or

charter agreement being extended or renewed was for a period of

five years or longer.

(B) In the case of an agreement under which the lessor first

places the property in service under the agreement or the property

has been in service for less than one year and there is allowable

to the lessor or charterer an investment tax credit or depreciation

considered to have a substantial termination liability under a

contract -

(A) if there is an agreement by the United States under the

contract to pay an amount not less than the amount equal to 25

percent of the value of the vessel or aircraft under lease or

charter, calculated on the basis of the present value of the

termination liability of the United States under such charter or

lease (as determined under regulations prescribed by the

Secretary of Defense); or

(B) if (as determined under regulations prescribed by the

Secretary of Defense) the sum of -

(i) the present value of the amount of the termination

liability of the United States under the contract as of the end

of the term of the contract (exclusive of any option to extend

the contract); and

(ii) the present value of the total of the payments to be

made by the United States under the contract (excluding any

option to extend the contract) attributable to capital-hire,

is more than one-half the price of the vessel or aircraft

involved.

(e)(1) Whenever a request is submitted to Congress for the

authorization of the long-term lease or charter of aircraft or

naval vessels or for the authorization of a lease or charter of

aircraft or naval vessels which provides for a substantial

termination liability on the part of the United States, the

Secretary of Defense shall submit with that request an analysis of

the cost to the United States (including lost tax revenues) of any

such lease or charter arrangement compared with the cost to the

United States of direct procurement of the aircraft or naval

vessels by the United States.

(2) Any such analysis shall be reviewed and evaluated by the

Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the Secretary

of the Treasury within 30 days after the date on which the request

and analysis are submitted to Congress. The Director and Secretary

account in the request.

(f) The Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the

Secretary of the Treasury shall jointly issue guidelines for

determining under what circumstances the Department of Defense may

use lease or charter arrangements for aircraft and naval vessels

rather than directly procuring such aircraft and vessels.

disclosure of certain information

-STATUTE-

(a) Prohibition of Reprisals. - An employee of a contractor may

not be discharged, demoted, or otherwise discriminated against as a

reprisal for disclosing to a Member of Congress or an authorized

official of an agency or the Department of Justice information

relating to a substantial violation of law related to a contract

(including the competition for or negotiation of a contract).

(b) Investigation of Complaints. - A person who believes that the

person has been subjected to a reprisal prohibited by subsection

(a) may submit a complaint to the Inspector General of an agency.

Unless the Inspector General determines that the complaint is

frivolous, the Inspector General shall investigate the complaint

and, upon completion of such investigation, submit a report of the

findings of the investigation to the person, the contractor

concerned, and the head of the agency.

(c) Remedy and Enforcement Authority. - (1) If the head of the

agency determines that a contractor has subjected a person to a

reprisal prohibited by subsection (a), the head of the agency may

take one or more of the following actions:

(A) Order the contractor to take affirmative action to abate

the reprisal.

(B) Order the contractor to reinstate the person to the

position that the person held before the reprisal, together with

the compensation (including back pay), employment benefits, and

other terms and conditions of employment that would apply to the

person in that position if the reprisal had not been taken.

(C) Order the contractor to pay the complainant an amount equal

to the aggregate amount of all costs and expenses (including

attorneys' fees and expert witnesses' fees) that were reasonably

incurred by the complainant for, or in connection with, bringing

the complaint regarding the reprisal, as determined by the head

of the agency.

(2) Whenever a person fails to comply with an order issued under

paragraph (1), the head of the agency shall file an action for

enforcement of such order in the United States district court for a

district in which the reprisal was found to have occurred. In any

action brought under this paragraph, the court may grant

appropriate relief, including injunctive relief and compensatory

and exemplary damages.

(3) Any person adversely affected or aggrieved by an order issued

under paragraph (1) may obtain review of the order's conformance

with this subsection, and any regulations issued to carry out this

section, in the United States court of appeals for a circuit in

which the reprisal is alleged in the order to have occurred. No

petition seeking such review may be filed more than 60 days after

issuance of the order by the head of the agency. Review shall

conform to chapter 7 of title 5.

(d) Construction. - Nothing in this section may be construed to

authorize the discharge of, demotion of, or discrimination against

an employee for a disclosure other than a disclosure protected by

subsection (a) or to modify or derogate from a right or remedy

otherwise available to the employee.

(e) Definitions. - In this section:

(1) The term ''agency'' means an agency named in section 2303

of this title.

(2) The term ''head of an agency'' has the meaning provided by
