Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the head of each military department, shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a plan to implement a standardized system to measure and report on the condition and performance of, level of investment in, and any applicable risks to critical infrastructure systems owned by the Federal Government that— have not been privatized pursuant to a conveyance under section 2688 of title 10, United States Code; and are located on a military installation.
Beginning on February 1 of the year immediately following the date on which the plan under subsection
(a)is submitted, and annually thereafter, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the head of each military department, shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a consolidated report on the condition of critical infrastructure systems owned by the Federal Government at military installations. Each report required by paragraph

The average age of distribution system piping and wiring. The rate of system recapitalization, represented as an annual percentage replacement rate of all critical infrastructure system assets. The percentage of key system operational components inspected, and determined through actual testing to be fully operational, during the preceding one-year period, including fire hydrants, valves, and backflow preventors. The absolute number, and a normalized measure for comparative purposes, of all unplanned system outages during the preceding one-year period. The absolute duration, and a normalized measure for comparative purposes, of all unplanned system outages during the preceding one-year period. The absolute number, and a normalized measure for comparative purposes, of all critical infrastructure system main breaks and leaks during the preceding one-year period. A standardized risk assessment for each military installation, identifying the current and projected level of risk related to the following: The ability to maintain compliance with all current and known future regulatory agency regulations and standards and all applicable regulations and policies of the Department of Defense and the military departments related to critical infrastructure, and the ability to operate systems in accordance with accepted industry standards. The ability to maintain a consistent and compliant supply of water for current and projected future installation needs based on current and projected source water availability and quality, including an assessment of source water contamination risks. The ability to withstand severe weather events, including drought, flooding, and temperature fluctuations. The ability for utility industrial controls systems to maintain compliance with current and future cybersecurity standards and regulations.
