(c) When the Secretary of Defense determines that any amount named in title I, II, III, or IV of this Act must be exceeded by more than the percentages permitted in subsections (a) and (b) to accomplish authorized construction or acquisition, the Secretary of the military department concerned or Director of the defense agency concerned may proceed with such construction or acquisition after a written report of the facts relating to the increase of such amount, including a statement of the reasons for such increase, has been submitted to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives, and either (1) thirty days have elapsed from date of submission of such report, or (2) both committees have indicated approval of such construction or acquisition. Notwithstanding the provisions in prior military construction authorizations Acts, the provisions of this subsection shall apply to such prior Acts. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, the total cost of all construction and acquisition in each such title may not exceed the total amount authorized to be appropriated in that title. (e) No individual project authorized under title I, II, III, or IV of this Act for any specifically listed military installation for which the current working estimate is $400,000 or more may be placed under contract if— (1) the approved scope of the project is reduced in excess of 25 per centum; or (2) the current working estimate, based upon bids received, for the construction of such project exceeds by more than 25 per centum the amount authorized for such project by the Congress, until a written report of the facts relating to the reduced scope or increased cost of such project, including a statement of the reasons for such reduction in scope or increase in cost has been submitted to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives, and either (A) thirty days have elapsed from date of submission of such report, or (B) both committees have indicated approval of such reduction in scope or increase in cost as the case may be. (f) The Secretary of Defense shall submit an annual report to the Congress identifying each individual project which has been placed under contract in the preceding twelve-month period and with respect to which the then current working estimate of the Department of Defense based upon bids received for such project exceeded the amount authorized by the Congress for that project by more than 25 per centum. The Secretary shall also include in such report each individual project with respect to which the scope was reduced by more than 25 per centum in order to permit contract award within the available authorization for such project.
