justification documents submitted to Congress in support of the
budget for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2017, the
Secretary shall submit to Congress the following:
(A) A force-structure plan for the Armed Forces
based on an assessment by the Secretary of the probable
threats to the national security during the 20-year
period beginning with that fiscal year, the probable
end-strength levels and major military force units
(including land force divisions, carrier and other
major combatant vessels, air wings, and other
comparable units) needed to meet these threats, and the
anticipated levels of funding that will be available
for national defense purposes during such period.
(B) A comprehensive inventory of military
installations world-wide for each military department,
with specifications of the number and type of
facilities in the active and reserve forces of each
military department.
(2) Relationship of plan and inventory.--Using the force-
structure plan and infrastructure inventory prepared under
paragraph (1), the Secretary shall prepare (and include as part
of the submission of such plan and inventory) the following:
(A) A description of the infrastructure necessary
to support the force structure described in the force-
structure plan.
(B) A discussion of categories of excess
infrastructure and infrastructure capacity.
(C) An economic analysis of the effect of the
closure or realignment of military installations to
reduce excess infrastructure.
(3) Special considerations.--In determining the level of
necessary versus excess infrastructure under paragraph (2), the
Secretary shall consider the following:
(A) The anticipated continuing need for and
availability of military installations outside the
United States, taking into account current restrictions
on the use of military installations outside the United
States and the potential for future prohibitions or
restrictions on the use of such military installations.
(B) Any efficiencies that may be gained from joint
tenancy by more than one branch of the Armed Forces at
a military installation.
(4) Revision.--The Secretary may revise the force-structure
plan and infrastructure inventory. If the Secretary makes such
a revision, the Secretary shall submit the revised plan or
inventory to Congress not later than March 15th of the year
following the year in which such plan was first submitted. For
purposes of selecting military installations for closure or
realignment under this title in the year in which a revision is
submitted, no revision of the force-structure plan or
infrastructure inventory is authorized after that date.

result in annual net savings for each of the military
departments beginning not later than six years
following the commencement of such closures and
realignments.
(2) Effect of failure to certify.--If the Secretary does
not include the certifications referred to in paragraph (1),

or equipment located at the installation below the minimum
levels required to support the use of such facilities or
equipment for nonmilitary purposes.
(D) Except as provided in paragraph (4), the Secretary may not
transfer items of personal property located at an installation to be
closed or realigned under this title to another installation, or
dispose of such items, if such items are identified in the
redevelopment plan for the installation as items essential to the reuse
or redevelopment of the installation. In connection with the
development of the redevelopment plan for the installation, the
Secretary shall consult with the entity responsible for developing the
redevelopment plan to identify the items of personal property located
at the installation, if any, that the entity desires to be retained at
the installation for reuse or redevelopment of the installation.
(E) This paragraph shall not apply to any personal property located
at an installation to be closed or realigned under this title if the
property--
(i) is required for the operation of a unit, function,
component, weapon, or weapons system at another installation;
(ii) is uniquely military in character, and is likely to
have no civilian use (other than use for its material content
or as a source of commonly used components);

the national security interest of the United States.
(4)(A) The Secretary may transfer real property and personal
property located at a military installation to be closed or realigned
under this title to the redevelopment authority with respect to the
installation for purposes of job generation on the installation.
(B) The transfer of property located at a military installation
under subparagraph (A) may be for consideration at or below the
estimated fair market value or without consideration. The determination
of such consideration may account for the economic conditions of the
local affected community and the estimated costs to redevelop the
property. The Secretary may accept, as consideration, a share of the
revenues that the redevelopment authority receives from third-party
buyers or lessees from sales and long-term leases of the conveyed
property, consideration in kind (including goods and services), real
property and improvements, or such other consideration as the Secretary
considers appropriate. The transfer of property located at a military
installation under subparagraph (A) may be made for consideration below
the estimated fair market value or without consideration only if the
redevelopment authority with respect to the installation--
(i) agrees that the proceeds from any sale or lease of the
property (or any portion thereof) received by the redevelopment
authority during at least the first seven years after the date
of the initial transfer of property under subparagraph (A)
shall be used to support the economic redevelopment of, or
related to, the installation; and
(ii) executes the agreement for transfer of the property

after the date of the property disposal record of decision or
finding of no significant impact under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
(C) For purposes of subparagraph (B)(i), the use of proceeds from a
sale or lease described in such subparagraph to pay for, or offset the

facilities.

improvements.
(xii) Planning for or the marketing of the development and
reuse of the installation.
(D) The Secretary may recoup from a redevelopment authority such
portion of the proceeds from a sale or lease described in subparagraph

authority does not use the proceeds to support economic redevelopment
of, or related to, the installation for the period specified in
subparagraph (B).
(E)(i) The Secretary may transfer real property at an installation
approved for closure or realignment under this title (including
property at an installation approved for realignment which will be
retained by the Department of Defense or another Federal agency after
realignment) to the redevelopment authority for the installation if the
redevelopment authority agrees to lease, directly upon transfer, one or
more portions of the property transferred under this subparagraph to
the Secretary or to the head of another department or agency of the
Federal Government. Subparagraph (B) shall apply to a transfer under
this subparagraph.
(ii) A lease under clause (i) shall be for a term of not to exceed
50 years, but may provide for options for renewal or extension of the
term by the department or agency concerned.
(iii) A lease under clause (i) may not require rental payments by
the United States.
(iv) A lease under clause (i) shall include a provision specifying

the leased property before the expiration of the term of the lease, the
remainder of the lease term may be satisfied by the same or another
department or agency of the Federal Government using the property for a
use similar to the use under the lease. Exercise of the authority
provided by this clause shall be made in consultation with the
redevelopment authority concerned.
(v) Notwithstanding clause (iii), if a lease under clause (i)
involves a substantial portion of the installation, the department or
agency concerned may obtain facility services for the leased property
and common area maintenance from the redevelopment authority or the
redevelopment authority's assignee as a provision of the lease. The
facility services and common area maintenance shall be provided at a
rate no higher than the rate charged to non-Federal tenants of the
transferred property. Facility services and common area maintenance
covered by the lease shall not include--
(I) municipal services that a State or local government is
required by law to provide to all landowners in its
jurisdiction without direct charge; or
(II) firefighting or security-guard functions.
(F) The transfer of personal property under subparagraph (A) shall
not be subject to the provisions of subchapters II and III of chapter 5
of title 40, United States Code, if the Secretary determines that the

of a redevelopment plan with respect to the installation at which such
property is located.

in connection with a transfer under this paragraph as such Secretary
considers appropriate to protect the interests of the United States.

identified a use for any portion of a military installation to be
closed or realigned under this title, or will accept transfer of any
portion of such installation, are made not later than 6 months after
the date of approval of closure or realignment of that installation.
(B) The Secretary may, in consultation with the redevelopment
authority with respect to an installation, postpone making the final
determinations referred to in subparagraph (A) with respect to the
installation for such period as the Secretary determines appropriate if
the Secretary determines that such postponement is in the best
interests of the communities affected by the closure or realignment of
the installation.
(C)(i) Before acquiring non-Federal real property as the location
for a new or replacement Federal facility of any type, the head of the
Federal agency acquiring the property shall consult with the Secretary
regarding the feasibility and cost advantages of using Federal property
or facilities at a military installation closed or realigned or to be
closed or realigned under this title as the location for the new or
replacement facility. In considering the availability and suitability
of a specific military installation, the Secretary and the head of the
Federal agency involved shall obtain the concurrence of the
redevelopment authority with respect to the installation and comply
with the redevelopment plan for the installation.
(ii) Not later than 30 days after acquiring non-Federal real
property as the location for a new or replacement Federal facility, the
head of the Federal agency acquiring the property shall submit to
Congress a report containing the results of the consultation under
clause (i) and the reasons why military installations referred to in
such clause that are located within the area to be served by the new or

under subclause (II); and
(IV) publish in the Federal Register and in a newspaper of
