This section shall apply only if— the Secretary of Defense makes a certification under section 3(e) that the need exists for a round for the selection of military installations for consolidation, closure, or realignment; and Congress does not enact a joint resolution described in section 4(b) during the period specified in section 4(a). Subject to subsection (a), the Secretary may initiate a process to develop recommendations for the consolidation, closure, or realignment of military installations on the basis of the force structure plan, the infrastructure inventory, and the final selection criteria.
In developing recommendations for the consolidation, closure, or realignment of military installations under this Act, the Secretary shall consider all military installations inside the United States equally without regard to whether the installation has been previously considered or proposed for consolidation, closure, or realignment by the Department or a Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission. In the development of recommendations for the consolidation, closure, or realignment of military installations, the Secretary may not take into account for any purpose any advance conversion planning undertaken by an affected community with respect to the anticipated consolidation, closure, or realignment of a military installation.
For the purposes of this subsection, advanced conversion planning— shall include community adjustment and economic diversification planning undertaken by the community before an anticipated selection of a military installation in or near the community for consolidation, closure, or realignment; and may include the development of contingency redevelopment plans, plans for economic development and diversification, and plans for the joint use (including civilian and military use, public and private use, civilian dual use, and civilian shared use) of the property or facilities of the military installation after the anticipated consolidation, closure, or realignment.
Except as provided in paragraph (2), in developing recommendations for the consolidation, closure, and realignment of military installations under this Act, the Secretary shall consider any notice received from a local government in the vicinity of a military installation that the government would approve of the consolidation, closure, or realignment of the military installation. Notwithstanding receiving a notice described in paragraph (1), the Secretary shall— make recommendations for the consolidation, closure, and realignment of military installations based on the force structure plan, the infrastructure inventory, and the final selection criteria; and include a statement of the result of the consideration of such a notice and the reasons for the result.
