Section 210 of title 23, United States Code, is amended— in subsection (a), by striking (a)(1) The Secretary and all that follows through the end of paragraph
(1)and inserting the following: Of the funds appropriated for defense access roads, the Secretary may use such amounts as are appropriate for— the construction and maintenance of defense access roads (including bridges, tubes, tunnels, and culverts or other water management structures on those roads) to— military reservations; defense industry sites; air or sea ports that, as determined by the Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, are necessary for or are planned to be used for the deployment or sustainment of members of the Armed Forces, equipment, or supplies; or sources of raw materials; the reconstruction or enhancement of, or improvements to, those roads to ensure the continued effective use of the roads, regardless of current or projected increases in mean high tides, recurrent flooding, or other weather-related conditions or natural disasters, in any case in which the roads are certified to the Secretary as important to the national defense by— the Secretary of Defense; or such other official as the President may designate; and replacing existing highways and highway connections that are shut off from general public use by necessary closures, closures due to mean sea level fluctuation and flooding, or restrictions at— military reservations; air or sea ports that are necessary for or are planned to be used for the deployment or sustainment of members of the Armed Forces, equipment, or supplies; or defense industry sites. ; in subsection (b), by striking the construction and maintenance of and inserting the construction, maintenance, reconstruction, or improvement of, or enhancements to, ; in subsection (c)— by striking him and inserting the Secretary ; by striking construction, maintenance, and repair work and inserting activities for construction, maintenance, reconstruction, enhancement, improvement, and repair ; by striking therein and inserting in those areas ; and by striking condition for such training purposes and for repairing the damage caused to such highways by the operations and inserting the following: condition for— that training; and repairing the damage to those highways caused by— weather-related events, increases in mean high tide levels, recurrent flooding, or natural disasters; or the operations ; in subsection (g), in the second sentence, by striking construction which has been and inserting construction and other activities ; and by striking subsection
(i)and inserting the following: The amounts made available to carry out this section may be used to pay the cost of repairing damage caused, or any infrastructure to mitigate a risk posed, to a defense access road by recurrent or projected recurrent flooding, sea level fluctuation, a natural disaster, or any other current or projected change in applicable environmental conditions, if the Secretary determines that continued access to a military installation, defense industry site, air or sea port necessary for or planned to be used for the deployment or sustainment of members of the Armed Forces, equipment, or supplies, or to a source of raw materials, has been or is projected to be impacted by those events or conditions. . Not later than March 1, 2020, the Secretary of Defense shall complete a comprehensive study, to be conducted by the Director of the Engineer Research and Development Center of the Army Corps of Engineers, on the risks posed by coastal or inland flooding, mean sea level fluctuation, and storm surge to the military installation resilience of military installations and State-owned installations of the National Guard that the Secretary determines are vulnerable to those risks. The study under subparagraph
(A)shall be conducted in coordination with other elements of the Army Corps of Engineers, other Federal agencies, and State, local, and tribal officials to ensure consistency with other plans or pre-disaster and risk mitigation measures being planned or taken in the areas within the scope of the study. The study required by paragraph (1)(A) shall include the identification of and recommendations concerning ongoing or potential risk mitigation measures, including on lands and waters not under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense, including authorized projects of the Army Corps of Engineers and current or potential projects under the Continuing Authorities Program of the Corps of Engineers, that would contribute to preserving or enhancing the military installation resilience of military installations and State-owned installations of the National Guard within the scope of the study. The study required by paragraph (1)(A) shall identify institutional, administrative, legislative, and other barriers to preserving and enhancing the military installation resilience of the installations determined by such study to be vulnerable to the risks posed by coastal or inland flooding, sea level rise, or storm surge. Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report providing the status of, interim results for, and an expected completion date for the study required by paragraph (1)(A). Not later than two years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the congressional defense committees a final report on the study required by paragraph (1)(A). In this subsection: The terms congressional defense committees and military installation resilience have the meanings given those terms in section 101 of title 10, United States Code. The term Continuing Authorities Program of the Corps of Engineers means any of the programs listed in section 1030(a) of the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 ( 33 U.S.C. 400 ). Section 2805(c) of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 ( Public Law 115–232 ) is amended— by striking Not later than and inserting the following: Not later than ; in paragraph (1), as designated by paragraph (1), by striking United Facilities Criteria
(UFC)2-100-01 and UFC 2-100-02 and inserting United Facilities Criteria
(UFC)1-200-01 and UFC 1-200-02 ; and by adding at the end the following new paragraph: Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, the Secretary of Defense shall amend the United Facilities Criteria
(UFC)as follows: To require that installations of the Department of Defense assess the risks from extreme weather and related effects and develop plans to address those risks. To require in the design of any military construction project the use of the following weather projections: Population projections from the Bureau of the Census. Land use change projections and weather projections from the National Academy of Sciences. Land use change projections through the use of land use and land cover modeling by the United States Geological Survey. Weather projections from the United States Global Change Research Program, including in the National Climate Assessment. Weather projections developed through the use of Localized Constructed Analogs Statistical Downscaling. Weather projections developed through the Earth Exchange program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Weather projections included in the technical report NOS CO-OPS 083 set forth by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Any customized, high-resolution model weather projections developed by the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program for specific regions with the goal of assessing the vulnerability of installations of the Department. To require the Secretary to provide guidance to project designers and master planners on how to use weather projections. To require the use throughout the Department of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Climate Change Installation Adaptation and Resilience planning handbook. .
