Of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2017 for increased intelligence manpower positions for operation of the Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex at Royal Air Force Molesworth, United Kingdom, not more than 85 percent may be obligated or expended during fiscal year 2017 until the date on which the Secretary of Defense submits to the appropriate congressional committees the analysis under subsection (b)(1). Not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a revised analysis of alternatives for the basing of a new Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex that is— based on the analysis of the operational requirements and costs of the United States; and informed by the findings of the report of the Comptroller General of the United States on the cost estimating and basing decision process of the Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex.
The analysis under paragraph
(1)shall, at a minimum— be conducted in a manner that— uses best practices; appropriately accounts for non-recurring and life cycle costs, including with respect to cost of living and projected growth in cost of living; uses objective and measurable criteria for evaluating alternative locations against mission requirements; and uses reasonable and verifiable assumptions; include the identification and assessments of— possible alternative locations for the Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex at existing military installations used by the United States; and other possible cost-saving alternatives; evaluate alternative practices to minimize the number of support personnel required; evaluate alternatives to building a new facility, including modifying existing facilities and using prefabricated facilities; and evaluate the possibility of separating the European Command Intelligence Analytic Center, the Africa Command Intelligence Analytic Center, or the NATO Intelligence Fusion Center from the rest of the Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex at other viable locations. In this section, the term appropriate congressional committees means— the congressional defense committees; and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives.
