§3743 Reports on Activities and Assistance Under Department of Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction Program

Summary

The Secretary of Defense must send a yearly report to Congress when the President’s budget under section 1105 of title 31 asks for money for the Department of Defense’s Cooperative Threat Reduction Program. The Secretary must consult the Secretary of State first. The report goes to the congressional defense committees, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. It must be submitted no later than the first Monday in February of that year. The report must say how much money the United States will need that fiscal year to meet the Program’s goals and include a five-year plan showing proposed funds and what they will be used for. It must describe the Program’s activities from the prior fiscal year, including amounts notified, obligated, and spent; which federal agencies and U.S. private companies took part; the types of assistance given; and progress on demilitarization or conversion projects. The report must explain how the United States tracked and checked that assistance was used properly, including equipment locations and condition, contract status, and whether aid met its purpose, plus planned oversight for the coming year. It must also describe defense and military activities under section 3711(a)(6), with funds spent, goals, actions taken, results, and participants. The reporting requirement ends on January 1, 2030.
