## SEC. 2834 MASTER PLANS AND INVESTMENT STRATEGIES FOR ARMY AMMUNITION PLANTS GUIDING FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE, FACILITY, AND PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT IMPROVEMENTS ###
(a)Submission of Master Plans and Investment Strategies Not later than March 31, 2022, the Secretary of the Army shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report containing the following: ####
(1)The master plan for each of the ammunition organic industrial base production facilities under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Army (in this section referred to as an “ammunition production facility”) that was developed to guide planning and budgeting for future infrastructure construction, facility improvements, and production equipment needs at the ammunition production facility. ####
(2)An investment strategy to address the facility, major equipment, and infrastructure requirements at each ammunition production facility in order to support the readiness and material availability goals of current and future weapons systems of the Department of Defense. ###
(b)Elements of Master Plan To satisfy the requirements of subsection (a)(1), the master plan for an ammunition production facility must incorporate the results of a review of industrial processes, logistics streams, and workload distribution required to support production objectives and the facility requirements to support optimized processes and include the following specific elements: ####
(1)A description of all infrastructure construction and facility improvements planned or being considered for the ammunition production facility and production equipment planned or being considered for installation, modernization, or replacement. ####
(2)An explanation of how the master plan for the ammunition production facility will promote efficient, effective, resilient, secure, and cost-effective production of ammunition and ammunition components for the Armed Forces. ####
(3)A description of how development of the master plan for the ammunition production facility included input from the contractor operating the ammunition production facility and how implementation of that master plan will be coordinated with the contractor. ####
(4)A review of current and projected workload requirements for the manufacturing of energetic materials, including propellants, explosives, pyrotechnics, and the ingredients for propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics, to assess efficiencies in the use of existing facilities, including consideration of new weapons characteristics and requirements, obsolescence of facilities, siting of facilities and equipment, and various constrained process flows. ####
(5)An analysis of life-cycle costs to repair and modernize existing mission-essential facilities versus the cost to consolidate functions into modern, right-sized facilities at each location to meet current and programmed future mission requirements. ####
(6)A review of the progress made in prioritizing and funding projects that facilitate process efficiencies and consolidate and contribute to availability cost and schedule reductions. ####
(7)An accounting of the backlog of restoration and modernization projects at the ammunition production facility. ###
(c)Elements of Investment Strategy To satisfy the requirements of subsection (a)(2), the investment strategy for an ammunition production facility must include the following specific elements: ####
(1)A description of the funding sources for such infrastructure construction, facility improvements, and production equipment, including authorized military construction projects, appropriations available for operation and maintenance, and appropriations available for procurement of Army ammunition in order to support the readiness and material availability goals of current and future weapons systems of the Department of Defense. ####
(2)A timeline to complete the investment strategy. ####
(3)A list of projects and a brief scope of work for each such project. ####
(4)Cost estimates necessary to complete projects for mission essential facilities. ###
(d)Annual Updates Not later than March 31, 2023, and each March 31 thereafter through March 31, 2030, the Secretary of the Army shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report containing the following: ####
(1)A description of any revisions made during the previous year to master plans and investment strategies submitted under subsection (a). ####
(2)A description of any revisions to be made or being considered to the master plans and investment strategies. ####
(3)An explanation of the reasons for each revision, whether made, to be made, or being considered. ####
(4)A description of the progress made in improving infrastructure, facility, and production equipment at each ammunition production facility consistent with the master plans and investment strategies. ####
(5)A description of any changes to a master plan for an ammunition production facility made in response to global events, including pandemics and armed conflicts. ###
(e)Delegation Authority The Secretary of the Army shall carry out this section acting through the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology. ## Subtitle E Matters Related to Unified Facilities Criteria and Military Construction Planning and Design
