(2) As part of such plan, the Secretary shall provide for a program
for the design, development, and procurement of four nuclear attack
submarines to be procured during fiscal years 1998 through 2001, the
purpose of which shall be to develop and demonstrate new technologies
that will result in each successive submarine of those four being a more
capable and more affordable submarine than the submarine that preceded
it. The program shall be structured so that--
(A) one of the four submarines is to be constructed with
funds appropriated for each fiscal year from fiscal year 1998
through fiscal year 2001;
(B) in order to ensure flexibility for innovation, the
fiscal year 1998 and the fiscal year 2000 submarines are to be

previously designated as the New Attack Submarine will be used
as the base design by both contractors;
(D) each contractor shall be called upon to propose
improvements, including design improvements, for each successive
submarine as new and better technology is demonstrated and
matures so that--
(i) each successive submarine is more capable and
more affordable; and
(ii) the design for a future class of nuclear attack
submarines will incorporate the latest, best, and most
affordable technology; and
(E) the fifth and subsequent nuclear attack submarines to be
built after the SSN-23 submarine shall be procured as required
by subsection (b)(1).
(3) The plan under paragraph (1) shall--
(A) set forth a program to accomplish the design,
development, and construction of the four submarines taking
maximum advantage of a streamlined acquisition process, as
provided under subsection (d);
(B) culminate in selection of a design for a next submarine
for serial production not earlier than fiscal year 2003, with
such submarine to be procured as required by subsection (b)(1);
(C) identify advanced technologies that are in various
phases of research and development, as well as those that are
commercially available off-the-shelf, that are candidates to be
incorporated into the plan to design, develop, and procure the
submarines;
(D) designate the fifth submarine to be procured as the lead
ship in the next generation submarine class, unless the
Secretary of the Navy, in consultation with the special
submarine review panel described in subsection (f), determines
[[Page 110 STAT. 209]]
that more submarines should be built before the design of the
new class of submarines is fixed, in which case each such
additional submarine shall be procured in the same manner as is
required by subsection (b)(1); and
(E) identify the impact of the submarine program described
in paragraph (1) on the remainder of the appropriation account
known as ``Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy'', as such impact
relates to--

construction, as a percentage of the total ship
construction account, for each fiscal year throughout
the FYDP.
(4) As part of such plan, the Secretary shall provide--
(A) cost estimates and schedules for developing new
technologies that may be used to make submarines more capable
and more affordable; and
(B) an analysis of significant risks associated with
fielding the new technologies on the schedule proposed by the
Secretary and significant increased risks that are likely to be
incurred by accelerating that schedule.

site chemical munitions demilitarization plans specific to that
installation.
(3) Support measures that are required by the permits
required by the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 6901 et
seq.) and the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) for
chemical munitions demilitarization operations at that
installation, as approved by the appropriate State regulatory agencies.

would otherwise apply to the conduct of such an assessment under any
provision of law.
(2) The assessment shall be conducted in coordination with the
National Research Council.
(3) Based on the results of the assessment, the Secretary shall
develop appropriate recommendations for revision of the chemical
demilitarization program.

request of the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1997. The Secretary
shall submit to the congressional defense committees with the submission
of the budget request of the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1998
a final report on the assessment conducted in accordance with paragraph
(1) and recommendations for revision to the program, including an
assessment of alternative demilitarization technologies and processes to
the baseline incineration process and potential reconfiguration of the
stockpile that should be incorporated in the program.
(d) Assistance for Chemical Weapons Stockpile Communities Affected
by Base Closure.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall review and evaluate
issues associated with closure and reutilization of Department of
Defense facilities co-located with continuing chemical stockpile and
chemical demilitarization operations.

and the unique reuse problems facing local communities
associated with ongoing chemical weapons programs.
(B) Recommendations of the Secretary on methods for
expeditious and cost-effective transfer or lease of these
facilities to local communities for reuse by those communities.
(3) <<NOTE: Reports.>> The Secretary shall submit to the
