10 U.S.C. § 6105: Common financial reporting…

Summary

The Administrator must finish, as much as possible, a common financial reporting system for the nuclear security enterprise no later than four years after the enactment date of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114–328). The system must include common rules for reporting money and work (for example, standard labor categories, labor hours, job functions, and cost types), a shared work breakdown structure that lines up contractor work with the Administration’s budget, clear ways to define and report program and base capability costs, and the ability to use historical cost data from the Defense Cost Analysis Resource Center of the Office of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation of the Department of Defense when appropriate. By March 1, 2017, and every year after, the Administrator, working with the National Nuclear Security Administration Council, must send the congressional defense committees a progress report. Each report must summarize the past year’s work, accomplishments, problems, benefits, and costs; explain planned work for the current year; and note any expected changes to the schedule, risks, or costs. No more reports are needed after the system is complete.
